CHAPTER
Mrs. Darnley was wonderfully af-
fectionate to her niece all through
the long summer day which herald-
ed the evening of Derrick's return;
and she expressed such a decided
wish for Miss Leicester's compan-
ionship, .that despite herself the
little mistress of Ripstone •Hall
had to throw .up her own inclina-
tions and attach herself to her
aunt, who was also her guest.
Luncheon was but scantily at-
tended, for Lady Burton and her
two daughters, with Capt. and
Mrs. Fairfax, had driven over to
another lawn -tennis meeting some
utiles off; toad although Lord More -
field was present, and Mr. Craw-
shaw also, theenteal was only a dull
affair.
Dorothy struggled hardto join -
in her aunt's chatty conversation;
but she was depressed with the
heat, and distressed at Nancy's sud-
den and most unusual attack of ill-
ness.
"If she is not better in an hour's
time," she saicl, in a low voice, to
Lord Merefield, whom she felt nn-
derstood and sympathized with her
anxiety, "I shall send for Dr.
Knowles. I have never known
Nancy to be ill like this before."
"It is the heat," Lord Merefield,
of course, hastened to suggest.
" 'Pon my word, Dolly, my head
has been aching like anything all
the moreing."
"Oh, yes, yam head would,"
Dorothy . replied, thoughtfully,
glancing at that very boyish object
as she spoke. "But Nancy is so
different!'
14Irs. D arid ey caught the last
words, and a slight frown came on
her face for an instant; but it
vanished as she poured out some
more claret and lifted -it to her lips.
"Doubtless Miss Hamilton was
bored, Dorothy," she said, with a
gentle smile and drawl. , "I have
often found is headache a conveni-
ent Olen() WASH 1 wish to be

Dorothy bit hes lip.
'Then I hope you have not suf-
fered as poor Name- is 'suffering

hotly.
Mrs. Darnley elevated her brows
in a manner that aggravated her

ly and angrily ; "and if you had

Annual Report Shows Good Yearrs
Realness.
The report of business done by
this Company during 1910, as shown
by annual report printed in another
column, shows net profits of $16:3,-
812.51 after deducting all expenses.
The Company's assets are now well
over $2,000,000, and surplus to
policyholders considerably over
$1,000,000. The losses paid by the
British America since incorpora-
tion in 1833 total the tremendous
sum of $34,410,308.91. This splen-
did record of 78 years continuous
business is gratifying to those in-
terested in this Company whether
as a policyholder or otherwise.
The re-elected President, Hon.
Gen. A. Cox, and Vice -President,
W. R. Brock, are well know to
Canadians in this as well as in vari-

FORTY POUNDS TOO MUCH.
To be really fat is tobeunfortu-
nate,not only on account of the
physical discomfort the condition
brings with it, but also because the
fat are not, and cannot be, either
well ,or long-lived. Furthermore,
in spite of these facts, fat persons
get little sympathy from their fel,
lows, who are apt to class them
roughly as -either lazy or glutton-
ous; and unhappily they are often,
although not always, both.
There is good evidence that fat
persons themselves are not at all
pleased with their fate, for antifat
remedies fill the advertisement
sheets, with their offer of things to
take, or to wear, or to rub on, and
one must suppose that here, as
elsewhere, supply and demand go
together. •
It cannot be too definitely under-
stood that "quack" medicines which
claim to reduce fat rapidly are
dangerous things, and can do.their
work only by robbing the patient of
health and strength faster than they
rob him of his, fat.
Equally ill-advised is the sufferer
who evolves a method of treatment
for himself, and without an iota of
real knowledge of his own constitu-
tion or its needs, starts in to starve
or nurge or exercise himself into a
condition of semi -invalidism. It is
true that by this method a, few
pounds may be lost, but ail there is
no scientific principle nnderlying
the treatment, the patient either
finds the routine too hard and aban-
dons it, in which ease the lost
pounds rapidly come back with
many mora.. or -as in the ease of

quack remedies - health and
strength go with the flesh.
Medical men to -day are fully
aware of the drawbacks and dan-
gers of obesity, They know, as one
of them has .significantly stated,
that "a fat person lives on the brink
of a volcano," and the only safe
course for the overcorpulent indi-
vidual is to place himself for treat -
mein; in the hands of a good physi-
cian, who will make it his business
to study the constitutional fault or
faults which cause the fat before
he outlines the treatment.
This treatment will almost cer-
tainly be dietetic, because almost
all people who grow stout in middle
life are sufferers from gout, and
gout cannot be defeated except by
strict regulation as to eating and
drinking. But the kind of diet will
differ with different persons, and
most postively he laid out by a me-
dical man, and not by a layman.
Exercise is a next importance
after diet, and must also be under
scientific control. It is natural for
the fat to be disinclined to exercise,
and dangerous for them to under-
take too much or in too violent a
form. -Youth's Companion,

must be sanitary to be a •sucess.
There are many and varied styles
of stalls, several of which are good.
It is best to select such a stall ae
will give comfort to both the cow
and milker, Tho construction
should be such as to permit good
light in the stall, it should be
built of such material and iu such
a -way as will leave only o, minimum
space on which dust can collect.
Solid 'wooden stall partitions are
very objectionable because they ob-
struct light and collect a large.
amount of dust. There are many.
different kinds of stanchions and'
various other ways of tying cows
now in use. Many of these are com-
paratively free from objections.
The new builder, however, should'.
carefully investigate some of . the,
beat types of swinging stanchion's
now on the market. These are be-
ing installed with much satisfac-
tion in many of the most modern
barns. In behalf of the swinging:
stanchions it can be said that they
give the cow considerable freedom,
and yet are sufficiently rigid so that
practically all the manure is drop-
ped into the gutter, thus keeping
the cows clean and reducing the'
labor of barn cleaning to the mini-
mum.
'
Dealerin manufactured stalls -
and stanchions report that, judg-
ing from the vast number of in-
quiries regarding them, there has-
been a great awakening among -
dairymen all over the country.
These inquiries relate to the best.
swing stanchion stall, and which,
is better, a eta/1 or a stanchion.
Before purchasing any of the pat-
ented animal fasteners on the mar-
ket, the farmer should consider the -
sanitary and humanitarian prin-
ciples involved in the construction,
of these ties. Study thenr fes- prin-
ciple, not alone for ece-iliany. Of
course, economy should he eonsid-
ered, but it should not bo placed.
above the consideration of the wel-
fare of the cow; she should always
receive due consideration, and in
turn she will reward her owner.
• A high-priced paoented stall is not
a necessity, and if the farmer will
carefully study the principles in-
volved in the construction of stalls,
he may make a stall at home that
it; the equal of many a the patent-
ed stalls, and in many ways more
satisfactory, tome of our most
prominent dairymen are using stalls
which were made from instructions
in stall construction sent out by -
various experiment stations,
in preference, to many of the pat-
ented stalls.
In the dairy business success or
failure to a large extent depends
upon the kind of a man in charge
of the business. If a man has no
natural inclination toward the cow,
if he is unwilling to giro her the
best that can be had in. the way of
cleanliness, feed and care his chanc-
es for profit from her products are
quite remote.
