Tbe •lblood current in the veins is much more slow than it is in the arteries, and from the lower part of the body, ~the blood in the veins is going -up- hill. Varicose veins are enlarged veins. • They occur when, for one reason or another, the blood, instead of circu- lating freely, is checked to some ex- tent and so is held back in the veins which become distended as a result. This occurs most commonly in the legs and in the rectum. Anything which interferes with the Dow of blood in the veins is a cause. constriction of the legs by tight gar- ters contributes to the condition, The pressures of tumours in the pelvis, .or an overloaded bowel in constipa- tion, and sometimes in pregnancy, :may result in varicose veins. Certain' forms of heart disease in which the flow of blood is not normal may also be a cause. If the tissues surround- ing the veins are weak or of poor quality, the veins do not receive the necessary support and, in their weak- ened state, are apt to become enlarg- ed- Overweight is a common cause of the extra force required to send -the blood 'through the abnormal a- enount of tissue. Long standing pre - 'disposes of the occurrence of varicose 'steins. T'he prevention of this condition • is, first of all, a question of keeping 'within the limits of normal weight •and by having the muscles in good condition through regular .exercise. Varicose veins of the rectum, call - sed haemorrhoids or piles, are usually the result of constipation. Prevention •lies in the correction of the constipa- tion by proper diet and exercise. The cathartic habit does not correct con- stipation; in fact, it is one of the -most frequent causes of the condition -and so the habitual use of cathartics is indirectly a common cause of ha.em- errhoids. • Those who stand for long hours may be helped by lying down each evening and by having the legs gent- ly massaged from the feet to the hips. Once the condition has developed, .xelief` may secured through proper treatment, but, in all cases, the cause of the condition must be removed. It is much more simple to prevent than to treat, and we would repeat that prevention lies in the maintenance of normal weight, in the development of healthy muscles and in the correction of constipation.

' NOW A FINATiPA Robert Forke, Seotat Iminigrante Site In Red Ohaatber, Forty-eight years ago a young Scot Walked down the steerage gangPlehk ef the steamship Gretna and stepped Into the immigration fitted at Halifax. The train carried Mw westward to Manitoba, where strange fortunes awaited. He pioneered and by dint of hard work and thrift built up a Tarns f •broad, well-tieled acres, He be- came a municipal councillor, reeve, a recognized power in the farmers' movement. Finally pubic life heelt- oned. The magic letters, M,P„ were affixed to his name. He rose to Le loader of a political group, a Cabin* Minister and finally a Senator. Nearly five decades after landing, an immigrant lad, at Halifax, Hon. Robert, Forke,, grown old in the ser- vice of his country, was called 'to seat in the Red Chamber—the °faun - ell room of our elder statesmen. For three years as Minister of Immigration he has directed the col- onization policies of Canada. Under his guiding hand there has beeu a remarkable increase in British .and a falling off in continental settlement. He was able, perhaps, to appeal to Eiritishers in a different way to his predecessors in office, because he had been an immigrant and knew all about the hardships which beset the pioneer. • With his appointment to the Sen- ate the final chapter of an amazing career ppens. Mr. Forke will spend his summers on the farm at Pipe - stone, supervising the ploughing and harvesting, moving about among his herds of sheep and cattle. In the winter he will come to Ottawa to play his part in governing the country. And he will have leisure hours to go back over the events of seventy years of life, perhaps to write a book of memoirs. As a lad, roaming the hills of his native shire of Berwick, Forke dimly recalls hearing' the folk talk of Glad- stone and "Dizzy." He treasures as a preCions memory his first and only sight of the Grand Old Man of Brit- ish Liberalism. Attracted by the crowds, he wormed his way into the huge marquee in which Gladstone de- livered the final speech of the Mid- lothian campaign. Forke was too small to see over the heads of the crowd, but, oddly enough, •an old wagon was standing inside the tent and he elambered up the wheel, perching perilously on the side of the wagon box. Froin this coign he watched Gladstone and heard the magnificent peroration, perhaps the moat eloquent that Gladstone ever uttered. • In Canada Forke repels the great men of the 80's—Macdonald, Mac- kenzie, Blake, Tupper. He voted in Manitoba when Norquay, the first outstanding public man of the pro- vince, was in power. He was a sub - porter of Sir Clifford Sifton, little dreaming that one day he would hold Sifton's place in Parliament and in the Immigration Department. With political power came respons- Ibilities far exceeding his wildest dreams. He could have been Lieuten- ant - Governor of Manitoba, but de- clined. He toured Europe, meeting crowned heads and leading states- men. ' But the proudest moment in his life came a few years ago in the little town of Gordon, where he was born. Returning to visit boyhood friends Mr. Forke, the Privy Councillor and Minister of Immigration, was met at the station by the mayor and council In full state regalia. He was tendered a public reception in the evening. Church bells pealed a welcome and the townsfolk cheered. "I suppose," says Mr. Forke in thinking of it, "I suppose there Is no passioa greater in the human heart than to be thought highly of in one's native home and by the unforgotten friends ,f yore:" TYPING YOUR OWN MUSIC. New Invention, Will Permit One to There has never, so far, been a really satisfactory and simple ma- chine for typing music, but Dr. San- der, an inventor, has recently patent- ed one that seems to fill the bill. His machine, says an article in Answers, is about the size of an of- fice typewriter, and looks like a com- bination of adding machine and printing -press. It is as easy to use as a wireless set. It has the base and undercarriage of a typewriter, but instead of a key- board has a cylindrical "bonnet." On top of this Is a radio set tuning knob, and next to it a what, fiat plate showing the 220 key characters, eleven, rows of twenty each, giving all the usual typewriter keys and, in addition, eiei7 possible music sym- bol. Words and mutste eau be pro- duced at the same time. Instead of "fingers" and typeface, it has a' cylinder, like a tiny priating- press, with. the 220 characters. You put your music paper in the roller, set a little pointer, against the symbols you require, and turn the knob. The cylinder, revolving over a typewriter ribbon, dOes the rest.

One of them --Agnes Maspheil -- declined the honor with the comment that phe was "more in- terested in the abolition of the Sen- ate than in appointments to that body," says an article in the Toronto Star Weekly. Women are eupposed to be the weaker sex. Miss Macphall, however, is the exception that proves the rule —if it is a rule. There is no record in recent year of anyone refusing a Senatorship. On the contrary there have been invariably innumerable aP- plieations for every vacancy, In the case of the recent vacancy in' Mani- toba --filled by the elevation of Hon. Robert Forke—there were more than two score applications sent • to the Prime Minister, and one man walked upwards of forty miles across the wintry countryside of northern Mani- toba to urge his suit upon Mr. King In person. Unlike the girl in the play who confessed that her will was strong but her won't was weak, refusal seems to come easy to Miss Macplaail. She has refused a Senatorship; un- less rumor is 'astray she has refused a seat at the Cabinet Council, with- out portfolio; several years ago when the indemnities to members of Par- liament were increased from $2,500 to $4,000 she refused to take a larg- er salary. It has been piling up year after year in the treasury and uniess disposed of by ,Miss Macphail in writ- ing will remain there until the crack of doom. It seems there is no way in which it can be put to other 'uses. Miss Macphail is a product of the Scots' Protestantism of the commun- ity bordering upon Georgian Bay. • Her forebears were members of the pioneer bantl who conquered the counties of Brurce and Grey. She was born on the farm. The little bio- graphy in the Parliamentary Guide, which is.prepared after consultation • with each member, states that she is s. "farmer's daughter." That indi- cates that Miss Maephail is proud of the fact. She taught school, indulged a hobby 19r poultry fanning and fin- ally stood for Southeast Grey and got elected. • Recently she told of her feelings upon entering the House of:Commons and meeting for the first time the men whose names are familiar in every household of the Dominion. Mackenzie. King, Meighen, Bennett, George Graham, Fielding—she con- fesses that when she met them as • fellow memberrs, comrades, it seem- ed as if "one were meeting Plato or Ruskin." Miss Macphail is not one of those members of Parliament who is fed up with her 'job and who perpetually threatens to quit. She knows her Parliamentary friends too well. "I have heard many members," she says, "disclaim any liking for the House of Commons and declare they were never coming back, and some- times they did not—but it was not their fault." Nor does this exhaust the subject of Miss lefacphall's originality. She is conceded to be one of the best speak- ers in the House Of Commons, but she never speaks longer than twenty- five minutes. Even in the old days when parliamentary eloquence was unchecked she rarely exceeded one- half an hour. And since the adop- tion of the 40-rainute rule, which she did much to bring about, she has never been called to time. Finery In Ireland. Since Dr. Marion Phillips has de- signed a uniform for women M.P.'s— though she has yet to induce them to adopt it—eit has been suggested that perhaps some male member may seek to revive the tradition of court dress in the House. The British House of Commons, however, was never as rigid or flam- boyant in the matter of dress as its old-time Irish counterpart., The uni- form of a member of the Irish Par- liament hi 1774 was described as comprising a, suit of deep maroon broadcloth, embroidered with heavy gold bullion, with the figure of a harp surrounded by • a wreath of shamrock. The breeches were of deep yellow plush, and the three -cornered hat of black bea•ver. Sells Family. Castle. The Dukeeol Leeds has sold Horn- by Castle, his seat near Bedale, York- shire, and the whole of his Yorkshire estates. The purchaser is Mr. John Todd of Brompton, Northallerton, and the purchase price was about $1,250,000. The estate covers more than 6,000 acres, and the castle, which stands in a park of 700 acres, dates from the fourteenth eentury. The park has a, private golf course of nine holes and there are thirty farms on the estate.

This straightforward, although not unpoetically written Lenten hymn is often ascribed to St. Hilary "the Hammer of the Africans," who was born of illustrious, wealthy pagan par- ents at Poietiers, France, early in the century beginning with 300 A.D. He was 'given an excellent classical edu- cation, married and had a daughter named Abra or Afra. About 350 A.D. he renounced heathenism, and was baptized into Christinity. His learning, standing in the com- munity, and fidelity to the Christian faith, gained him both the respect and love of his fellows. So notch so that when three years later there was a vacancy in the episcopal see of his city he was unanimously elected by clergy and laity to fill it. Marc, so learned and so devoted was he that his consecrators, neighboring bishops, decided to ordain him Bishop on the same day "by accumulation" a process not so uncommon in those as in our days.
