Address him at Spadina House,Spading Crescent, Toronto. "More than one-half of the chronic complaints which embitter the middle and latter part of life, says Sir Henry Thompson, the surgeon, `is due to avoidable 1 b e err ozs i diet. One i at s of error is lack of knowledge in the choice of good and evil in regard to food—its selection, -nutritive value,. Preparation and x on 1? p consuviiption." I would go even farther than Sir Henry, and say that fully three- -fourths of the chronic complaints spoken of are due to errors in diet. There is no doubt.that there' is need of reform both in our. methods of choosing food and in our habits of eating. In these days of high prices it may seem bold to say that food is not expensive. But in truth, the high price we pay is largely due to the fact that we do not show reason in our {' selection, Many people are sceptical of all things new, and refuseto make any change in the diet upon which their grandfathers were reared. We do not pay as much attention to the rations of mankind, as in the army, they pay 1 to the feeding of their horses. A farm-, er alters the dietary of his stock ac- cording to their needs. o In ordinary life the laborer, the t dressmaker, the. sedentary workr all take' the same sort of meals. This is wrong. We follow blindly, each the a other, choosing foods far beyond the reach of our -purses. The primary purposes of food are:—(1) To repair waste; (2) to promote growth; (3) to piovide en- ergy and heat, and so ' enable the healthy body to resist disease. proper A dietary p must containythe three classes of foods: proteins, fats and carbohydrates, with a sufficient.. amount of mineral : salts andvita mines. The protein foods: eggs, neat, fish, cheese milk, peas; beans • and lentils, repair waste and `'promote growth. The vegetable proteins do the same' work as the protein of eggs and meat, are much cheaper and if appe- tisingly prepared, form an -excellent substitute for the more expensive ani- mal food. Fats, which, supply energyand heat, are contained in vegetable oils, oleo- margarine, lard and dripping; as well as in butter. They areeasily digested. and supply twice as, much heat when `burned" in the body as do the pro - reins' and carbohydrates. Of the latter, the 'host coronion warmth -producing articles of diet are potatoes, macaroni, ' rice and the titer starchy grains. Sugar is essexi ially a carbohydrate,.: and the green vegetables contain small amounts, but their prime value lies in the vitamines nd mineral salts that they -contain.

On the occasion of the recent royal wedding, the bride and bridegroom' met at' the great altar in Westminster Abbey, as is 'Cie- custom of modern times. But this was not always the case. Tn the past many princesses ses have been married by proxy, •-•Anne of Denmark ;married James VI. of Scotland;' but- the bridegroom was represented: at the altar by his earl marshal. -'-The marriage took place in Denmark, and some time elapsed before the bride was able to join her husband. She embarked for Scotland after the ceremony, but a temp•estdrove the ves sel, on` board of which were the .bride and proxy husband, 011 the coast of Denmark,. and there they had to re-;. main for some months. ` Then the bride returned home, and James VI.. set out from Scotland and took with him a clergyman, by whom he and the shipwrecked princess' were harried without proxy: Charles I. of England was the son of this'un.ion, and he, too, was slurried by proxy to Henrietta Maria of: France, tli:e proxy husband on this occasion be- ing the Due de Chevreuse: When Henry VI. became the hus- band of Margaret; of Anjou, the royal tiisband was reptesenten by William de la Pole, Duko. of :Suffolk.

He had; to 'evolve a satisfactory out- fit' tor the. purpose. A heavy metal easel was needed,°and he had to clamp his ` canvas- • to it to prevent it from. floating tip. But the.main difficulty lay in finding paints that would not run when worked under water.• ; At length he. found that if the canvas was thoroughly dressed with o11 it would take special thick, heavy paints per- fectly. At last; all vas ready for the first painting to be made., He slipped over the side .of the boat in a diving;: cos- • tume and walked "about until he had found eat,,ecen-t that would make a really 'boatitiful picture.. Then lie signalled to the boat which; was following him for his easel, palette, brushes, and paints to be lowered. "Withy a rock as his seat, he painted away until the picture was finished.

IMPURE Means a General Weakness and Loss of Health. If people would realize the lmporte a.nce of keeping the blood rich and, Pure there would be less sickness. The blood is the nyeains through which the notur5Oihintent gained from food reaches the different parts of the betty. If the blood is Mipure, the nourishment that reaches the nerves, and organs of the body lis. tainted with poison ant dis- ease follows. The blood is also the medium by which the body fights off. d.sense. If, the blood is thin and watery the power of resistance to dis- ease is weakened. if you are weak. and - run down, if your nerves aro fray- ed, if you lack ambition, have no ap- petite, and ape short of breath after sfigliut exertion, the trouble is almost, always, due to poor blood, In cases of this kind You should take Dr. Willi(ani�s' Pisik Pills to build up the blood. They help to enrich asicl purify tiie blood from first to last dose, and in this iyay. bring new healthy and strength to weals, .run-down people.

International Tourists Have Fire Truck as Part of Equip. anent for Camps. One of the greatest organized auto- mobile tours each year is the "Trek"of the Michigan Pikes Association with' headquarters in Detroit, Mich. The annual outing conducted by this body, is of Internationa importance mportance because the route invariably extends through a large section of Canada. The tour this year, which starts July 8, will be made through the• State e of Michigan chlgan to Sault Ste. Marie and thence straight' across Northern : Ontario to Ottawa and back to Windsor via Kingston, Peterboro, Toronto, Hamilton and Lon- don, the finish being made on July' 23. OfHeials of the association 1 ton make it perfectly plain that the annual outing l is no "joy ride," 'and they insist that all participants take the event serious- ly. The main purpose of the tour is to promote tees --ea-R.., se of good roads and to encourage friendship among the 1 motorists of Canada and the United States. The; fact that about four-fifths of the 1923 tour has been routed through Canada is an indication of the 1 sincere intentions of the "Pikers."
