Blooming in the woods of the Here-

For some years thoughtful lovers"
Of native beauty have .felt anxiety
lest the wild flowers of Ontario be
exterminated and The News Record
has on more than one occasion, sound-
ed a warning regarding them. And
now, in the springtime, seems a good
time to repeat that warning.
;Until just recently wild flowers
were so plentiful that there seemed
no danger of their ever being a death
of them. But a ohange is coming and
those who know tell us ;that some
varieties have disappeared altogether,
and others are so scarce that they
may `in a few' years be exterminated.
I have myself walked through so
thick a carpet of white trilliums, for
instance, thele for rods end rods one
had to be careful in stepping that
nee did not step on them, I remem-
ter well a woods I used to visit in
May where I would carefully keep my
eyes averted until I should get to an
advantageous spot where the glory of
a •sloping hillside -could be seen at one
glance, then teen and take in a: vision
of beauty which would make one
catch the breath, it was see exquisite.;.
a .veritable hanging garden of snowy.
white blooms, with here and there,
near a little stream, some clumps of
purple iris. I have not seen that
wooded hillside for many •years and
probably never 'shall see it again, but
the visions I have had of i!t in the
spring time remain with me as some
of the beautiful things 1 have seen.

Such lavishness of bloom I have
never seen since and the reason of
that lavishness was no doubt e that
very few people visited this wood. I
always picked all the white ,trilliums
I wanted but there were always plen-
ty left. They bloomed just' as abund-
antly the following year. But when
such a place is visited yearly by hun-
dreds of people, who all pick all they
want, the supply soon falls off.
During the past fifteen years cars
have become very eommon in Ontario
and people who never had the oppor-
tunity of visiting wooded places are
now privileged to clo so. It is a privi-
lege and there is no more wholesome
Duting that a visit to some wild,
wooded section, where trees and grass
and flowers are just as nature fash-
ioned them!. I would rather spend a
holiday on some grassy knoll, with
woods for a background and a run-
ning stream at my feet than visit the
most wonderful of cities. How much
more, restful and wonderful it must
be to those who live in cities all the
time to get out into the open and see
nature at her best. But while these
new privileges are fine for the people
who enjoy them the wild flowers
have suffered. Fancy what a won-
der such a sight as I have described
would be to someone who had never
seen the like or even imagined it?
,can well imagine that those who
came unexpectedly upon such a scene
did not go away empty handed, and,
when such visits were multiplied by
the hundred it is no wonder that our
wild flowers have began to disappear.
Of course urs much of the wanton
waste of our wild flowers has been
the result of thoughtlessness but if
children were taught to handle flow-
ers carefully much of it would have
been avoided. 'meta has not seen

era which should be-spared.as follows;
Group 1. Wild Flowers that should
not be picked:
All wild Orchids and wild Lilies,
Pitcher plants, Shooting Stars,
Trilliums, Columbine,
Water Lilies,' Lady's Slipper,
Dogwood, Anemone,
Fringed, Gentian, BIuebells,
Arethusa, Dutchman's' 'Breeches,
Maidenhair ' and 'Walking Fern,
Spotted Wintergreen, Indian Pipe,
False Spikenard.
Group 2. Wild flowers that may be
picked in moderation if roots are not
disturbed and plenty of flowers left
to make seed:
Lupine, Jack -in -the -Pulpit,
Solomon's Seal, Spring Beauty,
Hepatica, Dogtooth Violet,
May Apple, Bloodroot,
Ferns, Marsh Marigold,
Wild Roses, Meadowsweet,
Cleniatid, Wild IGeraneunn,

Yellow Wood Sorrel, Closed Gentian,
Wintergreen, ;Marsh Pinks,
Beard -tongue, Iris,
Butterfly weed or coral plant.
When going into the woods carry
a sharp knife or a pair of sharp scis-
sors wth which to snip off flowers,
as if they are pulled the roots are of-
ten loosened or disturbed, and do not
tramp any flowers. Be as careful
when in the woods as you would be in
your own garden, or a little more so,
as you are usually trespassing when
visiting moods, and visitors should
be careful not to injure the property
of their hosts.

DRINKING FOR HEALTH
The body of 'the average person
contains about seventy per cent . of
water. It is important,, therefore,
that the blab Ideal see to it that a
suffieierj, amount of water is 'tune
plied to his body.
ft is not possible to say just how
much water a person should use, be-
cause the amount varies, depending
upon his occupation and the ;heat dad
moisture of elle atmoeghee'• in which
he lives and works, Working out of
doors on a hot day, a man gets rid of
a considerable quantity' of water by,
the evaporation of water from the
skin.
Generally aki, mopeople do
not consume aspesufficiengnt amount of
water,;. either ,they do not drink
enough water or other fluids, or
they do not eat sufficierctly of foods
containing a high pereeptage of
water.
Water is usually so easily and read-
ily obtained that it is not generally
appreciated: We are apt to think of
it only at ;those times when we are
thirsty and there is none available.
It is likely that many persons who
now , enjoy health would feel even
better if they were to increase their
fluid intake by developing the habit.
of drinking a glass or two of waiter
before breakfast and between meals.
There is no objection to a moder-
ate use of water with meals, but it
is distinetly harmful to use water or
any other beverage to wash down
food. Drink should not be taken
while food is in the mouth. Before
drinking, any food that is in the
mouth should be thoroughly mastic-
ated' and swallowed.
Water acts as a food solvent. It is
a most valuable aid in scouring re-
gular and complete elimination of
body wastes. Water is also news -
sayer for the regulation of body heat
It is not sufficient td rely upon a
dense of third as a guide. Wihenthir-
st oeew'rs,it shouid be quenched, 'but
it often happens that many persons
are only occasionally thirsty. For
years they have not attended to the
natural demand for water' unless it
were preseing, and so their sense of
thirst is .blunted. A daily water -
drinking routine should be adopted
regardless of the absence of thirst,
Like all -good things, abuse may do
harm. If six, glasses of water a day
are good, it does not follow that
eighteen are three times better. Ex-
cess is
x-cess.is never desirable, and in those
Who suffer from a heart or kidney
pondition, excessive drinking of water
may be definitely baneful.
No rule of hygiene is easier to obey
than that of drinking sufficient wat-
er. There is no reason to overlook,
its regular practice.

dressed to the Canadian- Medical As-
sociation, 184 College Street, Toronto,

ADOPTED FOR CITY
CONSTITUENCIES
Preparatory to the forthcoming
general election the government
is seriously' considering legisla-
tion which will introduce propor-
tional representations in all the
'larger cities of the Dominion.
In 3VIontreal, for example, the plan
would not be Iikely to affect the pre-
sent radio representation where Con-
servative have three members. In
Toronto, however, where Liberals
have no Federal members, propor-
tional represeuiatioa would probably

COMMUNITY WELL -DOING
All men desire to achieve. From the veriest child to the adult
of advanced years there is nearly always apparent the wish to be do-
ing, to be accomplishing. Nothing is more contrary to right living
than the sense of community inaction. Laziness and indolence, idle-
ness and stupor are unnatural conditions to exist in the community
in which you reside, and right-minded individuals look upon them as
undesirable and repellant. They tend toward the overthrow of civic,
as well as community pride and government. It places you in a
state of lethargy that will placard your community as among the
"hasbeens," Admitted that all men naturally express the desire of
activity, to be doing something, what is the law which will result in
freedom to achieve properly , to accomplish that whichis worthy
anti' of advantage to their community as well as to themselves.
There is only one right law of activity, tY,
and that is "Communityuni
ty
Levo. You cannot
achieve Wroth where community pride is lost.
You must believe in your merchants, your neighbours, in feet the
whole municipality in which you reside, with an abiding faith
that there is none better. Faith is the foundation upon whieh the
whole superstructure of your community is built, without it you are
lost. First show your faith in patronizing your merchants and your
merchant will show his faith in you.
