The Health Almanac for 1924 is
now ready anis a copy or number of

publication serves Se useful purpose.
It contains information on a variety
of subjects and tries ever to keep in
the foreground the idea of,good health
and. the prevention of .diseasee It
touches all phases of public health
work and therefore proves all the
more interesting and instructive to a
large 'number of people in various
walks of life. The calendar itself is
an odd but attractive arrangement of
historical and important events inter-
sensed with health mottoes and notes
on disease prevention. Ther are talks
on goitre, periodic health "examine-
tions, the Schick Test for Diphtheria,
ventilation, longevity, the value of
cooking, cancer, the production of
clean milk, insulin, the need for health
education, and' a' host of other topics,
all of which are instructive.and inter-
esting from the good health point of
view. Tt gives information about war
taxes, rates of postage, eclipses of the
sur and moon, festivals, annf 5rsar-
ies "etc.; daring 1924, and the value of
foieign colics" in' Canadian currency
fet customs purposes There is also
a table o.f weights and measures; and
at the hack of the book is°'a series of
health picturee,for childreli which are
so arranged- that they can be cut out
for the scrap -book.
A heavy demand is being made

The purpose of .the Almanac is ex-

"What is the world to a man when
his wife is a widow? This is an old
inquiry, but like many an adage, it
has a perpetual ring of truth and
thoughtfulness connected with it. We
all want tobe alive and well'."
Health is a question that interests
all of'us. Without health, life means
little. Wealth, influence, worldly pee -
sessions rightly' used fon the benefit
of mankind are powerful adjuncts to
happiness if the possessor also has
good health. Without the latter,
wealth and power are meaningless
terms, mere sounding bless and tinkl-

Not ,sick—hitt not feeliug quite well.
That is the way most people Peel in
the spring. Easily tired, a.ppet!te-
fckle, .sometimes headaches and a
feeling of depr'eesion.. Pimples or
eruptions may appear on the skin, or
there may be twinges of rheumatism
or neuralgia: Any of these ind'i'cate
that the blood 'is out of order—that the
indoor ,life of winter has left its mark
upgnyou and may easily develop into
more serious trouble.
Do not dose yourself with•purgatives,
-as many people do, in- the Bove that
:you can put your blood right. Pujga-
tives gallop through the system and
weaken instead of giving strength.
Any, dotter will tell you that this is
true. What you need in the spring is
a tonic that will enrich the bloott.and
build up the nerves, Dr.. Williams'
Pink Piles do this speedily, safety and
surely. Every dose of this medicine

Our Might-Have-Beens.
Our might -have -beeps lie all along
The road of life; the plans gone wrong
Because we did not chance to do
Some certain things some certain way,
The dreams that never did cone
true,
The loess that died, or went astray.
Not merely things accomplished mark
Our progress through the dawn and
dark;
Our failures. also we recall,
Not only smiles but also tears;
They are the mileposts after all,
Gray peaks that rise about the years.
Ad memory brings a pleasure still,
As memory nearly always will;
The sweetest hours we ever know
Are not when victory we win,
But when we sit, the fire burned low,
And think of things that might have
been.
