HEALTH
Rest and Efficient Work.
Scientific -•men have lately, made
some very, interesting experiments
to learn how to perform the great-
est amount of work at the highest
point of efficiency with the smallest
amount of fatigue., These experi-
ments prove beyond question that
work that is broken by rest at short
sand regular intervals, is more,,pro-
ductive, both in quantity and quaff;
ity, than steady work, in spite of
the time lost in rest.
The experiments were made with
strong and unimaginative male la-
borers who were quite unaware of
the meaning of them. Even in such
unskilled mechanical labor as mov-
ing heavy bars from one place to
another, the man who rested at re-
gular intervals moved more bars
in a (riven time than ,the man who
worked steadily.
The principles that these experi-
ments confirm can be applied to
every kind of work, and by every
type of worker. Every one knows
that those who work must also rest,
but every one does not realize that
rest should come at very short in-
tervals. Too many men work unre-
mittingly up to the breaking -point,
and then have to take time to re-
cover. The new theory of work
and rest teaches that there need be
no breaking -point, and that re-
covery or recuperation should go
on constantly, hand in hand with
work.
This theory is especially import-
ant in the schoolroom, The quality
of work that pupils of all ages per-
form will improve if they have a
quarter of every hour for rest and
recuperation. The theory is of
value to the business man also; and
none needs it more than the woman
in the home who goes on wearily,
hour after hour, about her endless
tasks. She ought to understand
that sl) can actually do more work,
and do it a, great deal better, if she
will only lie down for fifteen min-
utes in each hour, quite regardless
of the amount of work ahead of
her. A quarter of each hour spent
in this way will seem like a shame-
ful waste of time to many energetic
people. but a. fair trial will prove
that it , is. economical.—Yo'uth's
Companion.

The usual objection to hot baths,
says Dr. Muskgrove, is that people
'take cold unless they go straight to
bed as soon as they have dried
themselves. Otherwise, so they
say, they go on perspiring and take
a, chill. Now this is due, not to
their having had a hot bath, but
because the water was not hot
enough when they got out of it. Hot
water has the same effect as cold
in bracing up the sweat pores, and
preventing them from continuing
to pour out unnecessary perspira-
tion. Lukewarm water, on the
other hand, leaves the skin lax and
moist, and it is then that people
are liable to chills. Hence the pop-
ular idea of running in some cold
water before the bath is finished is
a mistake, as it brings about the
very conditions we are anxious to
avoid. The best temperature at
which to take a hot bath is ]00
deg. Fahr., or just below that. If
more hot water is added afterwards
it should be hot, not cold, so as to
maintain the temperature at the
same level. With the aid of these
precautions it will be found that
drying is a simple process, and the
skin is left in a delightful state
without any undue perspiration to
follow.
GERM A.NY'S WEAVIIl!.
It Is Between $75,000,000,900 anti
$78,000,000,000.
Karl Helfferich, director of the
Deutsche Bank, Berlin,, has completed
his report to the Kaiser of the wealth
of the German nation. It will be pub-
lished a few weeks hence and will be
sold for $30.
From proof sheets seen it appears
that Dr. Helffcriehestimates the ag-
gregate total wealth of Germany at
from .$75,000,000,000 to $ 78,000,000,000,
The wealth of France is placed at
$60,000,000,000, that of England from
$57,000,000,000 to $66,000,000,000, and
that of the United States at $124,-
000,000,000,
124;000,000,000, The German . per capita
wealth is placed at from $1,100 to
$1,200, that of France, $1,425; Eng-
land ,from $1,250 to $1,385, and the
United States $1,360.
The annual income of the German
people is placed at between $9,000,-

From the deposits in German com-
mercial and savings banks it is de-
duced that the Germans save $1,000,-

increase in values to the estimates
the annual increase in the aggregate

GOOD BLOOD THE
SECRET Of HEALTHY
To Be Realthy You lust Keep the
Blood. Rich, Red and -Pure
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are use-
ful in any disease caused by thin
or impure blood, and the list of
such diseases. is astonishingly large.
Anaemia literally means a condi-
tion in which the blood is thin and
watery. Ohlorosis is a form of
anaemia most common to growing
girls. In rheumatism the blood be-
comes thin more rapidly than in
any other disease.. After an attack
of is, grippe or ,scute fevers the
blood is always thin and impure,
and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are
the tonic to use during convales-
cence. When the blood is poor and
thin the stomach suffers. The food
ferments, gas and certain acids
form and the trouble is pronounced
indigestion or dyspepsia. The
nerves receive from the blood all
of their nourishment to keep up
their energy and repair waste or
damage. Some forms of paralysis
are caused by thin blood. The pro-
gress of locomotor ataxia is stopped
in many cases when the blood is
made pure, rich and red. This is
only a partial list of the troubles
having their origin • in impure,
watery blood, and all can be cured
by supplying the blood with its
missing constituents.
This is exactly what Dr. 'Wil-
liams' Pink Pills do. Their chief
mission is to make rich, red blood,
and this good blood reaches every
organ and every nerve in the hu-
man body, thus'driving out disease
and bringing renewed health and
strength to thousands of weak, de-
spondent people.
Ask your neighbors. There is
not an inhabited corner in Canada
where Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
have not restored some sufferer,
and all over this country there are
grateful people who do not hesitate
to say they owe health—in some
cases life itself—to this great medi-
cine. If you are ailing begin to
cure yourself to -day by using Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills.

JERICHO'SS WALLS.
Structure Which Fell to Blast off?
Joshua's Trumpet.
In the 'Journal of the German
Palestine Society Prof. Thiersch
gives interesting particulars -of fur-
ther excavations: carried out on the
site of Jericho by Prof. Sellin.
The chief work of the past, year,
he says, has been the laying' bare
of the great outer wall of the city,
which is tde.seribed as "something
extraordinary, even in its present
reduced state—something majestic
and overwhelming." The excava-
tors found proof that this outer
wall is Israelitish work.
The inner wall, which is badly
preserved, is the original Canaan -
lash defence, Which fell to. the blast
of Joshua's trumpets. The outer
wall is identified as the work .of
Hiel, whose achievements are de-
scribed in the First Book of Rings::
"In his [Ahab's] days did Hiel the
Beth -elite build Jericho; he laid the
foundation thereof in Abirnam, his
first born; and set up .the gates
thereof in his youngest son Segub."
"One finds again in this work,"
says Prof."this ay Thiersch, xnan of
resolute character, who did not
shrink even from the-sa,crif fie of his

A NEW nMOSQUITO-TRAP.-'
spends on Use of Paint—Invented
By Dr. Batmain.:
Some one has invented a night trap
for mosquitoes which, according to
Chambers's Journal, has proved high-
ly successful under exacting tests.
The contrivance depends on the use
of the luminous paint that Doctor -Bal-
main invented some years ago. ' In this
paint . there is no phosphorus. The
mosquito -trap is a short glass cylinder,:
about six inches in length and one
inch in diameter. The interior surface
of it is'. coated with Balmain com-
pound, and the ends are sealed. On
the outer surface of the glass there
is a coat of adhesive substance like
that on ordinary $y -paper, and the
tube hangs by a string in anyconven-
ient place.
Exposure to daylight causes the Bal -
main paint to collect and store,up sun-
light, which it throws off at night.
The 'faint, ady glow attracts the
insects, an there is no heat about
the light, t osquitoessettle upon
the glass, and are caught by the ad-
hesive.
When it is necessary to' clean the
trap, you take a piece 'of wood—a
match will do—and scrape off the in-
sects, and then apply a fresh coating
of the adhesive.

Cured Quickly by "Nervililte,"
No stronger proof of the wonderful
merit of Nerviline could be produced
than the letter of Miss Lucy Mosher,
who for years has been a well-known
resident of Windsor, N.S.
"I want to add my unsolicited testi-
mony to the efficacy of your wonderful
liniment, 'Nerviline.' I consider it the
best remedy for a cold, sore throat,
wheezing tightness in the chest, etc.,
and can state that for years our home
has never been without Nerviline. I
had a dreadful attack of cold, that
settled on my chest that fourteen dif-
ferent remedies couldn't break up. I
rubbed on Nerviline three times a
day, used Nerviline as a gargle, and
was completely restored. I have in-
duced dozens of my friends to use
Nerviline, and they are all delighted
with its wonderful power over pain
and sickness.
"You are at liberty to publish this

COMMENT ON EVENTS
Transportation in Canada.
As Canada is likely to develop faster
than its railways the subject of trans-
portation is likely to continue a great
problem. The grain production of
the Canadian West is this year five times
greater than it was ten years ago. In
round numbers it was 100 million bushels
en years ago, and this year it is figured
at 500 million bushels. Such a crop
would fill 500,000 freight cars, and yet
within three months one-fifth of that
enormous total will have to be removed
o the lake front.
In the autumn of 1911 the railways were
urprised at their inability to meet the re-
quirements, but on inquiry they found
hat the product had about doubled in
two years, which was more than the rail-
ways could fully provide for, but the ex-
perience made them active in their own
nterest, while the Government did not
fail to urge them.
It is said that during 1912 over 44,000
freight cars were ordered and nearly 500
engines. These have long since been de-
ivered along with some orders for this
year.
It is noticed that loading is now going
on ten times faster than usual. In 1912
the Canadian Pacific railway handled tha-
ne. September, October and November
3,369 car, the- Canadian Northern 19,770
care, and the Grand Trunk Pacific 8,184
care. The rush of grainto market made
an unprecedented run of money and cre-
dit conditions. There will be unparalleled
car facilities during this and the two
n sett months. -
Just the Thing.
If it be true, as announced, that a
Prince •Edward Island man has invented
acontrivance which automatically indi-
cates railway stations and which has
been.prouounoed "just the thing by rail-
vay men, one of the greatest boons im-
aginable will be conferred on all railway
travellers. The" device is affixed to one
or both ends of the car in full view of
the passengers, anis as each station ' is
passed the next ie indicated in large,

Forestry in Prairie Provinces).
Much interesting information on - the
activities of the Forestry Department of
the Interior is contained in the report of
the Commission of Conservation for 1913.
Last year a special examination was made
of forest lands in the west. As a result
of these investigations it has now been
recommended that the forest reserve area
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and
the railway belt of British Columbia
should be increased by some 10,708 square
miles, or agyproxiinately 43 per cent. Of
the proposed additions 72 per. cent, or 7,-
698 square miles, is in Alberta, 8 per cent.
in Saskatchewan. and 4 1-2 per cent. in
Manitoba. The addition recommended in
British Columbia amounts to about 15.5
per cent. of the total.
Public Protection.
The Canadian Pacific Railway is rigidly
enforcing the law against trespassing on
its tracks and roadbed throughout Can-
ada. The law equipment of the country
beinginsufficient to look specially after
individual property spread over a wide
area, the company is permitted to ewes
in its own special constables, endowed
'with all "the authority of Provincial po-
lice. Strong efforts are now being made
to keep people off the tracks. The death,
toll last year was over thirty, so the pub
lie will readily see that keeping off the
rails is as much or more to the advane
age of the public than to the company.
Saving Lives by the Million.
Mr. John Burns, the president of the
British Local Government Board, gave at,
the recent International Medical Congress
an impressive view of the extent to which
sanitary, prophylactic and therapeutic sox
once is to -day saving life—by the millionoi
he says. He cited the average number o
deaths in the wears 1871 to 1880, and thati,
the years 1809-11, and then showed that in
those three years there would have bee
772,881 more deaths than there were saved
iu those three years by the progress whin
had been made in thirty years. In th
whole thirty years there had been say
3,942,000 lives of persons of all ages—fo
the reduction in death rate has been even
ly distributed among the Seven Ages.
That is one of the most creditable show
Inge that it would be possible to make t
the beneficence of government. It is realli
a divine aohieveinent to give man life, an
to give it more abundantly. It more that
repays its original cost; indeed, we ma
safely reckon that the achievement ha
been considerably greater than the figure
indicate; for if saving science had no
made this great advance the death rat
would not merely have remained as it. wa
in 1871.80. It would certainly have i
creased. There has been a decrease, othe
wise which would have been increased.
A. more technical detail, yet ono whie
must appeal strongly to thoughtful mind
is the enumeration of principal diseas
whose ravages have been checked.
