' So -Called .. "Wisdom Teeth' ,..,.Survival of Older Time. The- lower orders of creatures are able „to produce an almost unlimited: number of teeth, fresh ones growing to replace those which }have been broken off in some way. No doubt at some early etage in the world's history, we, too, possessed this faculty. With the passing of the ages, how- ever, 'man, thanks to soft foods,, used his teeth less and less, till the neces- sity :for such frequent replacements vanished, axxd Nature ,gradually brought us down to our present two sets, We are born with the rudiments of our real set, of 32'`permanent teeth 'in our gums, but with h jaw too small to hold ,that number. Nature, therefore, provides the child with a temporary set of 20 "baby" teeth, just ,the' num- ber that the child's jaw can convent c,ntly ` hold, ` almiost • ready to break' through the gums. As the child grows up, its maw enlargers unttil it able to ]sold its real get, and the temporary teeth, haying` accornpIished their per- pose,. fall out, to be replaced by the 'permanent set.

Country lin: has iteadvantages and d'sadvantages.' The absence of tur- moil, ofthe'stress and strain assotiat ed with life in a busy city is one of the rich blessings, that the country has to offer, Then again there are the. natural healthy surroundings, the privilege of getting; close to •.nature and forming associations with the woods, the meadows, the trees and the quiet river: , These are all good associations. TheV, tend to raise the thoughts above the sordid°comxiion- 'place. of the work -a -clay world,' They bring us into contact with things worth' while and provide the occasion for retrospect. But life in the coun- try is• riot wholly one glad, sweet eft= istence.- It has .its disadvantages. There may be monotony after a while, an uninteresting sameness from day to day, and perhaps even a tendency to drudgery. Then, there may be the ilbsence:of .atty,actiens such as the city affords. There may be no reading rooms, no community hall, no organ- ized recreation centre, no place to go. In short, country" life may provide nothing that keeps one's thoughts oc cupied, and thus 'these thoughts are allowed to ' drift. Sometimes our thoughts drift, along the proper chan- nels and we take up some useful-hob- by, seful-hobby, or pastime, sometimes we meet nice people whose ' friendship means much to us -and does much in mould- ing our characters and our viewpoint on life. But again the opposite may be true. The ,monotonyof rural life may gen- erate in us a craving for excitement, for some new thrill. In our loneliness we associate with whoever can pro- vide some bit of bright color to the natural ` ra ness of our everyday ex- D T PEOPLE t 1 b D �' E From End to End of Canada Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Doing Good Work.

A certain percentage of the output "of the fish hatcheries of the Depart- ment of Marine and Fislueriesi Canada, is marked each year for the purpose of, gaining some definite information with regard to the life history of the fish and the number that come to maturity. This marking is. principally confined to the, anadramous species that: is those that ,ascend rivers to spawn, such as the Atlantic salmon of the eastern provinces and the sociceye salmon of: the Pacific. Every year a proportion of the par- ent Atlantic salmon, from which the eggs are .obtained'>for the hatcheries in the Mealtime Provinces, is a marked, after they are stripped of their eggs and milt aria before theyare liberated, by attaching a numbered silver tag to the dorsal fin. Sialnion kelt are: also marked when they are on;th,efr way to sea in the spring of the year, after they: have deposited their eggeon the natural :spawning :grounds during the preceding autumn. Sockeye a.nd Atlantic salmon finger- lings; that have been retained and fed 1naenclosures for several months are also nlarltecl each year by the reanoval. of 'their adipose' fin. A reward of $1 la paid efer the retilrn of silver .tags that are being attached to Atlantic salmon with some scales from the side of the fish and particulars regard- ing their Length and weight, and the date and place of. recapture.

It is here the trouble lies, For often the frictxdsliips' we thus make are not the kind that will help us, riot the kind that will de us any; good, at all. In fact we may start to drift, and may indulge in excesses of one, kind or another:; , We may sink lower'in the social scale without' even realizing it. If excesses are allowed to develop, they may 'develop; into de -1 beechen', and disease will follow. ID' that condition we may become social, outcasts and degenerates. We need .a `helping hand. We need somebody who can warn us of the de- grading associations that we need to avoid. There are many rural districts in Ontarie that need such advice. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the well known English suffragist, who'gave the greater part of her life to the cause of the political enfranchisement of women is" now resident in Toronto and is an official of the Toronto Social Hygiene Council, an organization whose 'aim is to raise the moral tone of the community, and in every way work towards the building up of a better' citizenship, <"Mrs. Pankhurst is going to visit rural' Ontario and talk about these things that interest every- body so much. • She is'going to try and help everyone.who needs help and friendly advice. Her meetings are to be public. •She is an excellent plat- form speaker and can deliver her mes- sage with clearness and force. First. of all,: Mrs.:_ Pankhurst is going to matte a tour of the northern part of the province. She will visit many im- portant centres and her work should bring valuable results.

Cha eye Oiuln: Crop. Among the many woes of China is a revival of thte •opium 'evil. Great Britain agreed to prevent opium from being sent into China if China would 'suppress the culture, of the poppy and desist from makingopium at home. For a time China did discourage and• greatly reduce the 'home production, but when Indian opiumceased to be a .competitor and anarchy spread over the country the lawn were relaxed, and many ,of the ,peovinciial govern - menthe 'actually enlcaurageda and in some provinces required, the cultiva- tion of the peppy for the revenue they derived from it. Now, it - le reported, the crop in Chine. is nearly as large as it wan before there were any re- strictions, and because of the official indifference the use of the drug has increased to an alarming extent. The production is reported to be"esnormous and the demand "Iimitless.". Washing machines which can cleanse 350 shirts at once are now being made.
