j Physical defects that interfere with
the normal growth and development
e of the young are very prevalent am-
ong school children. These conditions
must be given early attention, other-
' wise many of them will lead to serious
t consequences later on, and bring about
'ill -health and even premature death.
, How are these defects to be detected?
One way is through the work of the
Public Health Nurse.
It is now becoming an established
fact that public health nurses are
urgently needed in every district. The
'record of examinations made at ran-
dom in one community shows the
tactual condition as it exists at pres-
ent throughout the province. Here
is one report made by a nurse:—
In a total of 592 school children ex-
amined during the demonstration,
there were 1,106 defects suspected by
the nurse, the percentage of defective
hearing, dental defects and malnu-
trition cases being especially high.
Several extreme cases of defective vi-
sion were found; two of these children
were examined by an eye specialist
who advised admission to the Ontario
A pensive hush broods o'er the. sunlit
land,
The birds flit voiceless in the °hang-
. ing trees,
The sumach lights its torch on every
• hand,
The golden -rod nods in the quiet
breeze;
A hint of frost when sinks the sun to
rest,
A mist of white when breaks the
dawn of day,
And iu the whisper of the soft south-
west
We catch the word—that Summer's
passaed away.
Tho' Summer days are dead, the glint
and glow
And golden glamor of glory, show
Sweet Summer's spirit, lingering,
soft, sublime;
And so, when Life's brief •Summer-
time is past,
And Autumn finds, the joys of youth
have fled,
The spirit of a youth that aye shall
• last
Will shine, a halo, round each hoary
• head.

Titles .in the Dominions.
Five years ago Canada asked the
British crown not to confer any more
• titles on Canadian citizens and asked
further that hereditary titles already
conferred should expire with the pre-
sent holders. Two years ago South
Africa made a similar request, and
now Australia expresses the same
wish. Decorative titles are seldom
popular in a new country, and when,
as sometimes happens, • the persons
honored by them are chosen with lit-
tle wisdom or discrimination the ordin-
ary citizen looks on them, with amused
contempt,
Risks of Dealers.
"when you complain of the high
fees of doctors remember the risks of
the profession., There was a doctor
whom I knew who fell a victim,"
"P6or fellow, did he catch a con-
tagious disease?"
"No. He married one of his pa-
tients."

, School for the Blind, and an effort
is being made to have them admitted
there. •
A case of congenital dislocation of
the hip—a girl of eleven—had been
attending school daily and had never
'repeived any treatment for her dis-
ability. The Junior Red. Cross of On-
tario has been asked to take an inter-
est in her, and through their effort it
is hoped to have her admitted to the
Hospital for Sick Children and treat-
ment instituted.
467 follow-up visits were made to
the homes of school children.
The number of corrections known
to have been made before the depar-
ture of the nurse included 3 cases for
which glasses had been procured, 26
cases of dental corrections, and 6 op-
erations for the removal of tonsils
and adenoids.
In one instance of home visiting,
an infant of a few days old was found
with a serious eye condition which
was receiving no treatment. Owing to
the early discovery and the gratin-
tious services of a local physician, the
child's eyesight was restored.
Animals in the Middle Ages.
Our mediaeval ancestors kept a
vast number of domestic pets for their
amuseMent, birds, lap -dogs, and grey-
hounds, especially, writes C. Edgar
Thomas in the Animal World London.
Dogs were their great somPanions,
and ladies fed their "amale houndes"
daintily. Cat are not mentioned, or
come across so often in pictures as are
dogs. But this does not necessarily
mean that cats were not liked. Among
that wonderful collection of Harleian
manueripts in the British Museum
Play be seen many illuminations of
aninuils. In one is a dog with a rid-
ing party; another, a dog in a dinner
scene; and others show a lady with a
pet dog in her arms, birds and dogs
in rooms, etc. One of the duties of
the `chamberlain of a knight was to
drive the "dogge and catte" out of MY
lord's chamber when he had retired to
rest, It would seem that both cats
and dogs were allowed to be there in
the daytime.
Readers of Chaucer will remember
that when the Friar visited the sick
man, he found a cat on the bench be-
side bion; while among the rules laid
•down in an old Book of Courtesy of
this period, is one stating that good
manners forbid the stroking of a cat
or dog while "sitting at meat in the
hall," People also made pets of squir-
rels, and even' monkeys!
The training of animals for perform-
ing has been practised from the earli-
est times. It was done in the Middle
Ages, and unfortunately it is still car-
ried on. On holidays, feast days, eto.,
strollina, Minstrels and showmen were
wont to exhibit dancing bears and
monkeys playing on handbells. A
thirteenth century writer, one Villard
de Honnecourt, tells us that in his
time the lion.tamer was accustomed to
call in the assistance of two dogs. i
"When he would fain make the lion do
anything, we read, "he commandeth
him to do it, and if the lion murmur,
then he beateth the dogs; whereof the
lion misdoubleth him sore, when he
seeth the dogs beaten, wherefore he
refraineth his courage and, doeth that
which hath been commanded." It was
very rough luck on the poor dogs!
What happened if the lion was a self -
1h lion and eared little for another
animal's. sufferings? Our old scribe
helps us a little: "And if the lion be
wrath, therefore will I speak no whit,
forthen would he obey neither for
good nor evil usage." And presum-
ably the poor dogs were thrashed in
vain.
The baiting of animals was .an ex-
ceedingly cruel form of amusement
which remained long in favor. Fitz-
stepheu, writing in the twelfth cen-
tury, says that bulls, bears, boars and
horses were frequently baited.
Sunflowers.
A row of golden sunflowers are bloom -
in my garden-- '
As floral sentinels on guard, they hold
their Crowned heads high,
And at sunrise each glad morning
Their bright faces greet the dawning,
While the twilight finds them turning
toward the glowing western sky.
Just a row of golden sunflowers, yet
each blossom bears a message,
Tells each heart to greet the sunshine
sent by God, to cheer each way.
Then when twilight in descending
Brings that life that has no ending,
May we glory in the radiance of the
ever -glorious day.

WHEN BABY IS ILL
When the baby is 111; when he cries
a great deal and no amount of atten-
tion or petting makes him happy,
Baby's Own Tablets should be giVen
him without delay. The Tablets are
a mild but thorough laxative which re-
gulate the bowels and sweeten the
stomach and thus drive out constipa-
tion and indigestion; break up colds
and simple fevers and make teething
easy. They are absolutely guaranteed
to be free from opiates and narcotics
and can be given to even the new-born
babe with perfect safety and always
with beneficial results. The Tablets
are sold by medicine dealers or by
mil at 25 cents a box from The Dr,
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville,
WHEN FOOD FAILS
Defective Digestion is the Cause
and Misery Follows.
There are thousands of people who
do not get the proper nourishment
from the food they eat, because their
digestio; is defective. Food that lies
undigested in the stomach is not mere-
ly wasted, bat will ferment and poison
your system. Flatulence and sour Ms,
Ings in the throat follow and unless
you are careful you will become' a
chronic dyspeptic.
By toning up the stomach, to do the
work nature intended, you will re-
move the ea -use of the trouble. Noth-
ing will more promptly restore the di-
gestive organs than good new blood,
Stomach, nerves and glands all de-
pend on the blood, and when it gets
thin and watery they are at mice weak-
ened. It is because of their action in
building up and enriching the blood
that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have
proved successful in so many cases of
indigestion where ordinary medicines
have failed. The new rich blood quick-
ly tones up the digestive organs; the
appetite improves and yeti are able to
eat with comfort and get full nourish-
ment from your food.
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
through any dealer in medicine, or by
mail at 60 cents a bOx from The Dr.

Rain at Night.
I know what blessing is upon the fart
Rain! Rain, at night! Nosy let me go
and stand
Where the house door is wide! And
let me feel
The first sweet stinging drops upon
my face!
The grasses know, and whisper happy
sords
Down to the small and secret universe
Abiding underground. And now I hear
The panting of the little dust -gray
leaves,
A sob, almost a laugh—so glad for
rain I
My careful neighbor, there across the
way,
Closes his window, trimslis tidy light
And sits within, because it rains, at
night!
Oh, nay! I will stand here upon the
sill!
I will laugh softly, softly, like the
Ont. leaves,
You Bet.

Care for Pets.
Do not neglect your pets if they are
sick. Have something done for them.
Do not handle them, but make a com-
fortable bed in a quiet place, with
.water and milk near, and let them
sleep, if they can. Put something
woollen in the bed, foralor a siek

not try to make them eat. When.con-

ite that, but a very sick animal does
not want food. Do not forget fresh

EASY TRICKS
The Flying Note
This is anexcellent trick for
the dinner tahle but the speota-
tors will have to keep very quiet
while it is being performed. An
Ordinary dinner fork and a tumb-
ler are iused.
Everyone knows that if the
finger tip is drawn, with some
force over the tines of the fork,
the fork will give forth a ringing
note—as a tuning fork will do.
This should be done several times
to prepare the spectators for the
real mystery which is to follow.
A tumbler is placed in front of
the trickster. He causes the fork
to ring by drawing hie finger tips
over the tines. He pretends to
gather the sound in 1110 hand. As
the sound of the fork becomes
inaudible he throws this "handful
of sound" at the tumbler. Im-
mediately the tumbler begins to
ring.
The feat is that the tumbler
only seems to ring. Mucha depends
upon the manner in which the
trickster acts the affair. Just as
the Sound of the vibrating tines
dies away, the trickster touches
the handle of the fork to the
table. The sound again becomes
audible but the spectators believe
that the sound comes from the
tumbler. With a little practice,
the illusion is perfect.

other of the series, in a scrapbook.)
To a Sea -Gull.
What do you see as you wing your way
Over the heaving sea?
And what do you ponder on, skimming
along
In the arms of a freshening breeze?
Do you taste the salt of the spray EIS it
dies
Even as swiftly as You?
Does the trough of the sea seem as
green to you
As to me—and the sky as blue?
Does the way seem bong when the
graybacks roll
Ahead in the tossing gloom?
Does your wild blood leap when the
surf -line breaks
On a reef with a roar and a boom?
'When the spindrift flies and the sea
is a mase
Of whispering, rushing foam,
At dusk, when the tired sun goes down,
Do you sometimes think of home?

for three years and became so run-down
that I used to take weak spells and

unable to, and kept on getting worse.
I was troubled mostly with my periods.
I would sometimes pass three months,
and when it came it would last around
two weeks, and I would have such pains at
times in my right side that I could hardly
walk. 1 am only 19 years of age and
