BODY WASTE
Whenever work goes on there is
practically always something useless
'heft over in the fotm of waste or rub-
bish. When coal is burned to secure
beat or power, ashes are left over.
After food has been prepared there
its always some waste to be disposed
vf.
Our `bodies are constantly at v, oris.
Even while - we sleep there is sone
activity, we breathe, our hearts 'beat,
anc1 other functions of our body con-
tinue at a low ebb. This results in
a continuous formation of waste pro-
-ducts, the amount :varying according
to the food intake and the activity of
The removal of its waste products
is necessary if the body is to func-
tion properly and be in a state of
health. The body is provided with
means: for the disposal of its wastes,
and as long as these means of dis-
-posal function properly, there is no
difficulty. It is when there is some
interference with the machinery of
'elimination that trouble starts, Sev
eral organs: of the body take part in
.elimination,
When food is taken into the body,
it is digested and assimilated. Food
'provides the energy for body activit-
ies and the heat to keep the body
-varrn::':it also provides materials for
growth and repair and, in addition,
certain substances called vitamins,
-which are required for the regulation
of body functions.
From the food are left inassimilable
parts which go to slake 'up waste and
there are 'also the waste products of
the various organs and tissues of the
body. These waste products must all
be regularly eliminated by the body,
aed they are so eliminated when the
body is functioning properly'
The lungs get rid of the carbon
dioxide gas -which is formed in the
body and carried to the lungs in the
blood stream. The kidneys remove
waste materials from the blood and
secrete such wastes in solution in the
urine. The undigested part of the
food is eliminated by the bowel.
Through perspiration, the skin elim-
inates water.
In order to keep these organs of
elimination properly operating, it is
necessary that a proper selection of
.foods be made and that the amount
used he not in excess of what is re-
quired. Water should be used free-
ly both internally and externally.
Rest, exercise and fresh air help, to
keep all parts of. the body working
in harmony. A hygiene life- keeps
the organs of elimination in good
condition, and when the organs of
elhnination are sound the body is
helped to keep healthy. Thus health':
comes through proper living.

Hon. Iiippolyte Montplaisir -- wire
owe their :appointments to Sir Tohn
Macdonald. . Senator Poirier eele-
b.rated his 78th birthday on gebruar'Y
15 last.
About Poirier's appoft tnient to the
Senate there is an Ottawa legend,
Poirier, :a strong Conservative, was
postnraster in the House .oe Commons.
The story goes that Sir John Mac-
donald, facing the possibility that one
of his measures would be rejected in
the Upper louse (the Maekenzie ad-
ministration had resulted in his hav-
ing but a precariousamajori.ty there)
one clay suddenly summoned Poirier
from his post office, swore biro info a
Senate vacancy, and saw him vote his
measure to success the very next day.
Whether this story is a legend and
nothiny more, it is difficult to say. In
any event the appointment proved a
good one, Pottier, descended from an
old Acadian family, was a distin-
guished member of the legal profes-
sion (bei'ng a member of the Bar
both in New Brunswick and Quebec)
and was also distinguished as a writ-
er. He has been long connected with
a number of French-Canadian liter-
ary societies, and in addition to hav-
ing produced • a scholarly work on
"L'Orlgine des Acadiens" and "Le
parler Franco-Aeadien et ses orig-
ines," he has been an active contribu-
tor to the newspapers and reviews.
Incidentally, Poirier is •a Knight of
the Legion of Honor. He lives in the
tittle town of Shediac, New Bruns-
wick,' by the sea.
BRITAIN'S COINAGE.
Monetary paws Promulgated by King
Atheistan In 928.
A new Great Seal of the Realm is
now being prepared, according to the
annual report of Sir Robert Jackson,
the deputy master of the Royal Mint.
In his report Sir Robert reveals
the interesting fact that 1928 was
the 1,000th anniversary of the pro-
mulgation of the Monetary Laws by
King Athelstaa' :tt the Council of
Grateley in 928, but coinage opera-
tions in London, he says, were car-
ried out long before that date.
The total number of pieces struck
in the Mint in 1928 was 228,045,024,
a number which has been exceeded
only in the years between 1916 and
1921, when war and post-war de-
mands for British bronze coins
reached unprecedented figures.
• The average for the ten years end-
ing 1927 was 220,450,115.
There was no British gold coinage'
during the year, but the coinage of
silverwas the largest for many years
Past -72,446,244, nearly three times
the number in the preceding year.
Referring to the new alloying
metal for the silver coinage, Sir
Robert gives the composition for the
first time --silver 50 per cent., copper
40 per cent., nickel 5 per cent., and
zinc 5 per cent.
The demand for the medal struck
to commeanorate the tenth anniver-
nary of the Armistice, the reportsays,
Y ,
exceeded expectations. Up to last
October 6,822 had been sold, includ-
ing four in gold. The medals are in
two sizes, and the sales comprise
1,290 large specimens and 5,532
small speeinteus.
Hindus Generally Healthy.
An eminent physician who practic-
ed for many years in Simla states
that the natives of the Punjab, the
northwest province of India, whose
diet . is mainly coarse wholewheat
bread, seldomesu.ffer from.. eancer. An
equally distinguished surgeon recent-
ly pointed out that white brand may
be one of the causes of cancer and
other diseases.
The diet of these people consists
of lightly-scox;ched unleavened
bread, oracle from a dough of whole-
meal stone -milled unslfted flour into
cakes about the size and shape of our
pancakes. This. bread is eaten with
dal, a sort of pulse, or with curried
vegetables. :A large quantity of cel-
lulose is taken in the form of raw
radishes, sugar cane and raw fruit.
The peasants also drink quantities of
milk. WYti.t them bread is the staff
of life. They have magnificent teeth
and are usually of fine physique.

bey tolled for the funeral of Henry
VI., murdered in the Tower of Lon-
don and hurried to Ohertsey to be
buried. It figured also in the legend
—once so popular with elocutionists
—which tells how Blanche Herriot,
to save her lover, who had been con-
demned to die at curfew, climbed the
tower and seized the clapper of the
bell, determined that "curfew shall
not ring to -night."

NOVEL PICTURES.
litany. London Homes Use'.2OO•Ye"ar-
Old Wallpaper as Pictures.
Pieces of wallpaper 200 years old
are being used as pictures in many of
London's finest homes.
"Wallpaper was manufactured to
conform with a high standard of ex-
cellence in the eighteenth century,
not produced at a cut price, as the
bulk of it fs to -day," Said a West End
art dealer.
"Many eighteenth -century wall-
papers were exceedingly attractive,
both in color and design, and the
quality of the material has enabled
them to keep in wonderfully good
condition. They have the appearance
of tapestry, so fine is their quality.'
These old wallpapers are naturally
rare, and the 'pictures' made , from,
then are not cheap.
"Small rolls of wallpaper are
found occasionally stored away hi
forgotten cupboards in old houses,
and others are brought to light
when the houses are demolished, as
a great number have been since the
war.
"Antique furniture is occasionally
'found to have the drawers lined with
'wallpaper, and a 'find' of this nature
is often a sound indication of the
genuineness of an antique."

Be a Bass.
If you have a good bass or low
contralto voice, now is your oppor-
tunity of achieving fame.
There is at present a remarkable
dearth of really good low bass and
contralto voices, due possibly to the
tendency of singing teachers to train
pupils' voices to the higher registers.
According to a musical authority,
it may be that there is always a risk
in training a voice downward of do-
ing damage to the voiee; but there is
no risk in training it upward.
England, slays au Old Country
newspaper, has no basses with the
same quality of tone as those to be
heard in. Russia. 'Although there are
five of six pupils .at the Royal Aca-
demy of Music who can produce a
top "D" or "E,' those who can pro -

These -Well known verses first aP-
geared in The Spectator, a highly vat=
'beth periodical published in England,
then edited by Joseph Addison in
1712.
O'f the essays it was made up of
John Wesley a little while before he
died said that: "Written with all the
simplicity, elegance, and force of the
English language, they were every-
where read, and were the first instru-
ments in the hands of God to check
the mighty and growing profanity,
and call men back to religion and de-
cency ,and coi`nmon sense. Method-
ism, in the order of God, succeeded,
and reviewed and spread Scriptural.
and experinxental Christianity over
the nation:'
The essays in The Spectator were,
and are considered to have been mod-
els of pure and correct English com-
position and have been cherished and
widely read- throughout the last two
centuries.- In the course of one of
his articles, Addison wrote:—
"I have already communicated to
ttie public some pieces of divine poet-
ry, and as they have met with, a very
favorable reception, I shall from time
to time publish any work of the same
nature which has not yet appeared in
print, and may be acceptable to my
readers."
This was followed by our hymn in
thirteen verses, which at once attract-
ed great attention, and because of an
However, no 000 now doubts that
it proceetted "from thesame hand that
gave us that ,classical. version of the
nineteenth ` :Psalm, beginning, Thy
spacious firmament on high:"
"When ail Thy mercies" was, the
second hymn Addison published, and
appeared in 'S'ite Spectator, No. 403,
for August 9, 1712, at tthe end of his
article on "Gratitude." In the course
of this he said: "There is not a more
pleasing exercise of the mind than
gratitude. It is accompanied with
such an inward satisfaction, that the
duty is sufficiently rewarded bythe
performance, ' If gratitude is due
from man to men, how much more
from man 'to his Maker! Every bless-
ing we enjoy, by what .means soever
it may be derived upon us, is the gift
of Hind who is the great Author of
good, and Father of mercies."
"Three of Addison's hymns, from
The Spectator, were included among
the five' which were added in 1781 to
the 'Psalms and Jearephrases printed
in the Scotch Bible, and have been
there ever since, this lryinn being one
of thein.
It grew naturally nut of the subject
t
of the essay to which it furnishes the
conclusion, and carries' out a thought
expressedby the saintly poet, George
Herbert, in his lines:
"Ev'n eternitie it too short
To extoll Thecl""
Joseph Addison himself is an im-
portant figure in the history of Eng-
lish literature. 'Son and grandson of
English church clergymen, born in his
father's parsonage at Milston in Wilt-
shire, in 1672, he was educated for
the ministry at Charterhouse school
and at Magdalen Colbege,.Oxford.
His father, whose first charge was
the chaplaincy of the British garrison
at Dunkirk, afterwards became dean
of the beautifulcathedral of the three
sisters at Lichfield.
But Joseph's mind was not attract-
ed towards such ministerial work: Af-
ter graduation he entered upon the
study of the law and interested him-
self in politics.
He held office in one or two cab-
inets and was an Linder-Seeretary of
State,Pa rliamentary Secretary to the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and Prin-
cipal Secretary of State. •
As joint editor with Richard Steele,
of the farnous Spectator, he became
widely known. and respected.

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL merchandising houses
in Canada have been built up on consistent advertising—
businesses with a definite store policy planned weeks and
months ahead—businesses not alone content to keep their
name before the public, but which persistently and con-
sistently tell the public through the columns of the news-
paper what they have for sale and how much it costs.
A successful business man thinks no more of do-
