MATERNAL MORTALITY
The death of a mother is the great
est tragedy that can occur. The loss
,of the mother brings in its train so
many social ills, that it is beyond our
ability to put its far-reaching results
into words.
Unfortunately, such tragedies are
not uncommon. in this ,.country, .•six
mothers lose their lives• for every one
thousand children born alive. The ap-
palling thing about these deaths is
that many of them need not occur,
as it is possible to prevent then!,
To the woman herself and to her
family, it may appear as if she had
been struck down by a bolt from the
blue, What has actually happened is
that a condition develops, but goes
unnoticed until serious symptoms
manifest themselves.
When the expectant mother is un-
der the regular supervision of finer
doctor from the start, he can, by pro-
per treatment, prevent the develop-
ment of any serious condition.
This is one reason—and it should
be a sufficient one—why every expec-
tant mother should have prenatal.
care. By prenatal care, we mean that,
throughout her pregnancy, from the
earliest months, she should be sten.
by her doctor at regular intervals,
once a month, at first, and twice a
month during the latter part of her
pregnancy.
Prenatal care is preventive care. It
allows, as we have pointed ,out, for
theearly discovery and proper treat-
ment of abnormal conditions. It also
snakes for a more comfortable preg-
nancy if the woman follows the ad-
vice which the doctor gives her.
Women are often told that the pro-
cess of childbirth is a normal function,
and that they should not consider,
themselves as being anything but nor-
mal during that period. This is all.
true, but it does not follow that, in
the performance of a normal hotly
function, medical ,help and guidance
are not needed.
Eating is a normal process which
'five carry through several times a day,
and get we know that most people
creed to be helped by following some
intelligent direction as to the selec-
tion a their foods. Digestion is a
normal function of the body which
usually ` goes on without our . being
aware that it is taking place, yet, once
in a while, the digestive process gets
out of order, and then we need med-
ical hell+.
We would say to expectant mothers
that it is quite right for them to con-
sider theircondition as being normal,
but that• they should not forget 'that
what 'they want to do is to keep nor-
mal. The best way to maintain tic
normal a condition and to prevent any
serious abnormality is through the
prenatal care which the family doctor
gives.

As Pictured by Col. G q dlauei.
'1 he gigantic Mak wt owing for the
graves of triose who .fell in the great
war was explained with lantern views
to an audience of ex-serrieemen at
the Military Institute, Toronto, b7
Col. J. H. Goodiand, D,S.p„ of Vic-
toria, B. C,, formerly deputy comp-
troller of tae .Imperial. War Graves
Commission,
The British Empire, he told .hie
audience, had oyer one million of
war dead, whose bodies lay in the
15,86$ Soldier cemeteries which,
scattered through every theatre o€
war, tetreteh like a great girdle . of
honor ors r aroriaad the world.
"Never before has an attemept been
shade to preserve the graves of a na-
tion," said the colonel. "To -day in
youth. Africa you will find seareely
a grave. The Crimean graves have
gone, hut the great .ver graves will
be preserved forever,"
Some 2,913 eemeteries, including
the largest, were in France and Bei -
glum. Over 1;000 were in -Canada.
Of all the Empire dead, 726,537 lacy
in France and Belgium. Only '582,-
783 were identified' and placed in
marked graves.
Over each ideaatifled soldier was
lerand.ected- 'a marble slab,;' bearing a
cross, his name and- a regimental de-
sign. Each stone marking graves of
a British -soldier was sent from Eng -
Seine of the most beautiful of the
memorials had been erected to the
unknown dead. Geyer the last resting
place of each unknown warrior was
the inscription; "A Soldier of the
Great War -Known Unto God.,,
In each cemetery enemy graves
intermingled, but the enemy dead had
no marble tombstones. A wooden
cross bearing the name of the soldier
was the only marking. What Is to be
done when these wooden erosses rot
was as yet undecided.
A fuzed of $25,000,000 formeda
me nranent endowment to care for the
Empire's dead, Col. Goodland said.
TEE PICTS,
Inhabited Scotland From AJ), 2%t6 to
A.D. 844.
Pieta is the. name by which, for
five.and a half centuries --296 to 844
A.D.—the people that inhabited
Eastern Scotland, from the Forth to
the Pentland Firth, were known. In
certain chronicles they are styled
Pieti, Pietoues, Plctores, or Picea.r-
dalg—all forms of the same root;
hut sometimes the native t,•aelle name
of Oruithnig is applied to them, and
their country called Cruithen tuath,
the equivolent of the Latin '?iet:avla
and Old Norse Pet:land, which still
survives In the name of the Peastland
Firth.
In their wars in Britain the Rom-
anis cause into eoliis2on with the Piets.
One Roman or Latin writer of !Dias
time speaks of "the Caledonians and
other Picts," which ttawlieae the le -
elusion of the former to the Iaattee
people. The well-known Raman Ma -
turista, Ta eltus, calls Scotland north
of the .myths of Forth and .C.Ilede,
Caledonia, and he describes the Cate -
deafens atm a noble race of barlrar•}ane,
who light in chariots as well as en
foot, with long swords and short
shleide, and whose fair red lisp' and
large limbs argued a Teutonic origin.
The Iligblanders of to -day are et
Celtic origin. The prefix, naaae, .reten-
ing aoa of, is .from the asolie,
