CHILDREN CRY FOR IT -- CHILDREN hate to`take medicine as a rule, but every chili. loves the taste of Castoria. And this pure vegetable preparation is just as good 1 as it Metes; just as bland and just as harmless as the recipe reads. 1. When Baby's cry warns of colic, a few drops of Castoria has hint soothed, asleep again in ajiffy. Noth, ing is more valuable in diarrhea. When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, invoke its gentle aid to cleanse and regulate a child's bowels. In colds or children's diseases, you should use it to keep the system' from clogging. Castoria is sold in every drugstore; the genuine always bears Chas. H.

Sanitary engineers and. municipal health ofllcers describe it es the great- est lesson ever given is the science of public health work.. It,is'the larg- est thing of its kind ever; attempted and it covers practically the eutil•e field of peeventton.of disease and the promotion of health. and efficiency. The exhibits range front a 'magnified cross-section of a piece of skin to the latest thing in street sweepers, In the exhibit of skin one sees a model, ninny thousands ot thneg,enlarged,in which the *outer' or, white part of the skin tissue is ,some 'three inches . thick and` the hairs rise to a height of a foot above tate surface. ' Every blood ves- sel, nerve, fibre, peespiration duct and detail ot tissue structure is portrayed as seen through a powerful micro- scope. After one has spent five min- utes contemplating this model there is no reason why one should not remem- ber forever how devastatingly easy it is for blood -poisoning, for example, to Audits way into one or another little pipe -line and so into the body. Models of the O?pans Then there are'models of the heart, the tangs, the stomach, the digestive processes, the muscle and nerve §true- tu�res, the blood system, the vocal apparatus, the head and every other tudictioning past of the body. A par- ticularly' iuterestiug feature is the complete lack of "Please don't touch" signs. On the contrary, the public is requested to touch almost every- thing. Before the model of tate lungs is a lever, pressure ea which draws the diaphragm down and fills the 'lungs. This is wrong, as it means dis- tending the stomach. Another lever allows the lungs to expand through .expansion of the chest structure. Tile difference in effect of the two levers affords a demonstration far more striking than any amount of instruc' tion obtainable in a gymnasium or physical raining course. Beside the model of the heart, which may also be worked, stand two large glass containers. One, approximately a cubic yard in size, is filled with red liquid representing the amount ot blood pumped through the heart in an hour. The other contains red pellets as big as- raspberries interspersed with a few' white ones. This is a highly magnified representation of the red and white corpuscles of the blood itself. . The management wants people to think hygienically; and has set about I insuring this with thoroughnese and skill. The exhibition is intended for -the geltel'al public and is made com- preltensible to anyone who can read; but it remains equally faschntiug to the expert. The lesson it has to teach i is never forbidding and repelling, even when dealing with diseases and 1 Strive n poverty- stricken '- sicknesses t rat t i eve t t Y stricken areas where cleanliness is lacking. Yet tate designers have not l lost the force of their message. A section, tor, instance, is devoted to "woman as another and wife" which presents every phase of childbirth, the proper care and filet ot the mother,• the proper exercise to be taken, the sort of work to be avolded. Most of the section to primarily designed tor the partly uneducated and those igaor- ant of the simple rules. There is a small room completel; fitted out with everything the doctor attd nurse re- quire at the time of birth. The room is spotlessly white and clean, thus emphasizing the necessity of eleattll .nese. Another section deals with exer- cises, though here it must be admit- ted the exhibit Is exclusively devoted to the exercises of children and young People. There is no exhibit devoted to that lucreasingly important field— the preservation of health in the man or woman between 30 and 40. Since it is described as an interna- tional exhibition it .10 not unnatural that there exists a "Hall of Nations," where foroign:contriliulious to the set- once ofahygieneare presented. Russia has the finest- and most complete of the foreign exhibits: It is not all strictly hygiene, but it gives a detailed Picture; of the advantag»s; enjoyed by Soviet citizens in industrial and agri- cultelal purauite. The eorriest foreign exhibits is the Amerrean. A fine large hall -is ,labelled "U.S.A." but 'only one corner - of it bas any - thing in it,.

Climate is treated as a special sub- ject. Figures clothed in costumes ot• every period. from the thirteenth to tate present century "portray' the changes of style and the part that ideas of personal hygiene have played in different ages. The difference be- tween the billowing petticoats and narrow waists. ot the past century and the styles of to -day are presented in the itght of the influence the change has one the stealth of the wearer. Mental Hygiene Mental hygiene is also treated with thoroughness and attention to vivid detail. The care of the nervous, the beaten, the discouraged and, more important, some charts and digrams and photographs illustrating ways of preventing these conditions, are to be seen. The first part of this depart- uteutls devoted to ways and means of avoiding the teerismission of unfavor- able characteristics from generation to generatlou.

"Superstition and Health," which might equally well be called "From the Medicine Man to the Modern Doc- tor," 'adjoins In space as well as in. subject the section on mental hygiene. It displays a wealth of historical mat- !, ter and a collection of some of the more common beliefs in regard to sickness mud cure. It is the only section which indulges in irony. The illustrations of the art of the mag•' netopatlt, the astropath, the mental Curer and how they work are, field and ridiculous to a high degree. The exhibits presented by the Reich, the German States and the cities, while more technical and less easily comprehended by the layman, are ricin in ttteir data on the development of Public health measures, sewage, re- fuse handling, street cleaning and the administration of public health ordt- uances. They also display statistics and charts on the cost and handling of unemployment insurauee, State sickness fusuiauce, the fight against tuberculosis, soelal'%diseases, alcohol- ism, the care of infants and children and a host of other "social" matters - in which Germany has long been recognized as a world leader. A first attempt is made, too, to exhibit a hospital in whtelt SOMA seventy dif- ferent types of model rooms are shown, These deal with every stage. in hospital work from the reception of the patient to operating rooms, X-ray teems, rooms with strange ap- paratus for holding broken hones in place,. laboratories and sanity conva- lescent rooms. Gold -Mining in Wales It is well ktowln that gold was work- ed profitably in several parts of this country in the time of the Romans, and in more recent years Scotland produced the whole of the gold used in making the Scottish Regalia. . Most of the old mines have been lost, but la Wales there are still traces of Roman aqueducts and div- erted watercourses in the Mawddach Valley, and gold quartz has been covered, Mining operations on a small scale were carried on 14 MerI- onetlishire until about twenty years ago, and about half a million .pounds' worth of gold has been extracted from them since 1851. Botlf. the Queen and Princess Mary have wedding rings of Welsh gold. A memorandum has been present• ell to the Government asking for a searching inquiry into the prospect of developing a Welsh goldfield. Min- ing experts who have examined the district say that there is to -day an area, o9 250 square guiles in North Wales which contains as good•a show et gold -bearing quartz as any' other area' of similar glee.

Each Witness Gives 'Diferent Version New proof of the almost complete unreliability of the testimony of by- standers to something that happens, even though it is the custom of: law courts to rely almost exclusively on such testimony, is' supplied by an ex- periment conducted some years ago by a Boston lawyer, Mr, George G. Crecker, and recently published with critical comments by Dr. Walter Franklin Prince, Research 001oer of the Boston Society for Psychic Re- search. In Mr. Crocker's experiment, twenty responsible business men and lawyers of Boston served as witnesses of a little playlet acted by Mr. Crock- er and three assistants, In this play- let an, oral order was given to a broker concerning the purchase of some stock and was repeated wrongly by the broker. In addition one of the actors laid down a pocketbook,'which was picked up and Carrie- off by an- other actor. A third' actor brushed somewhat violently against the man who lost the pocketbookabut took no- thing from him. After all this, the twenty witnesses .were asked each to write down independently hie account of what he'liad seen and Beard. As, was expected, alt twenty accounts were different. Worse still, not one of 1 the twenty witnesses, Dr. Prince points out, saw the man who lost• the pocketbook lay that article on thea table. Not one witness saw the actual thief pick up the• pocketbook. Only one witness noticed that the broker repeated the stock order incorrectly and this one witness had the correc- tion wrong. • The moral for scientific Investigators, Dr. Prince remarks, 'is "that the fiumara senses may easily be misled and betrayed amid the compli- cations of even a briar incident." .

Hermits of the Calf The Calf of Man is au islet of 000 acres lying to the south-west of the Isle of Matt.

It was recently announced that the Call was to be sold, and it has been suggested that it should be acquired by the Manx authori,Ies and develop- ed under their control, but with due re- gard to the "nesting rights" of the sea- birds, One or -two hermits have made the Calf of Man their home, and one of them was among the earliest food re- formers.

And, of course, most doctors already knew that a patient who is well supplied with interesting reading matter Is happier, and therefore more likely to benefit by treatment, than one who isn't. But books have sometimes beep credited with more direct powers of cure. There are districts in North Wales, for instance, where the old be- lief that touching the Bible is an in- fallible euro for certain diseases still lingers on, It's just as reasonable, of course, to believe in the Bible as "medicine," as to pin your faith to a cat's skin or a string of beads, A cat's skin, which was supposed to be a charm against catching cold, was one of the exhibits in a collection exhibited at the South - dark Museum recently. And there are London women who believe that wearing a string of blue herds affords them protection from bronchitis. Jungle "Doctors" Are Up to Date.
