Its beneficent effects are immediate ; it acts like a glass of champagne, but without the reaction which wine sometimes brings. Bovril does permanent good by building up the very fabric of the body. To get the full benefit of Bovril, take it regu- larly day after day. The value of cc a course of Bovril " has been scientifically demonstrated by the independent investigations of Professor Thompson. Bovril taken.

Speaking of the many donations to Universities in recognition of the sac- rifices of college mon and women; whose response to the call to arms was not su:passed in alacrity by any body or class of citizens in any of the allied countries, Sir Robert Falconer, President of the University of Toron- to, points out with pride that no Uni- versity in America has a record of Service that surpasses that of the big educational institution which has helped to make the provincial capital famed throughout the world as a seat of learning, Sir Robert is intensely interested in the big campaign which is now being waged to raise half a million dollars' to perpetuate, by a Memorial Tower and Gateway and the institution of scholarships and a lec- tureship, the war record of the 5,600 graduates and former students who answered when Civilization called, as well as the memory* of the six hundred gallant men who cheerfully gave their lives on foreign battlefields.

In connection with the scholarships which are to be instituted here, $300,- 000 of the fund being set aside for this purpose, the President of the Univer- sity of Toronto explains that a scholar- ship should not be less in value than $200 a year. This means that if one candidate is to receive a scholarship every year an outlay of $800 would be necessary for the four years' course. In order to supply such an annual in- come a good capital sum would be re- quired. If it were decided that these scholarships were to be awarded for a period of years, say fifteen or twenty-five, the amount of capital would not be quite as large as that necessary if they were to be made perpetual. The conditions required in addition to those of having served in the war or of being a close relative of one who hes served are a certain standard of scholarship to prove that the candi- date is likely to profit by a course in the University and if there are several candidates in the community the scholarship to be awarded on the basis of merit. "The Alumni of Varsity," declares Sir Robert Falconer, "have now the opportunity .of performing a sacred duty and rendering a great service at one and the same time. The sacred duty is to share in the privilege of honoring and perpetuating the mem- ory of Varsity men and women who fell in the World War, The great service is to enable those who served or their near relatives to secure ad- vantages that will make them better citizens in their cotuitry." The laxerutive Committee, according to Sir Robert, "desire to give the Alumni everywhere all possible op- portunity to act freely in supporting generously the caered cruse and in standing loyally behind them Alma Mater."

ARD THE CHILDREN FICO I RUM COLDS Thi Fall is the most severe season of the year for colds—one day is warm, the next is wet and cold and unless the mother is on her guard the little hands. The second and even more important discovery made about the same time, was that the blood of certain iudividu- als will not mix with that of others, but instead that the fluid. part of the one type of blood attacks and destroys the corpuscles of the other. The usual effect of this reaction was simply the destruction of the corpuscles of the transferred blood, but occasionally the effect wad so violent that the small amount of blood given was enough to destroy the corpuscles of the recipient with fatal consequences. It was found possible to classify in- dividuals into four groups which exist in constant proportions. Of these, the smallest group, comprising about 1 per cent., cannot give blood to any except persons of their own group, al- though they may safely be given any blood. The second and largest group, comprising 44 per cent„ possess blood which may be given to anyone with- out bad effects, The other two groups, of 15 and 40 per cent. respectively, are mutually antagonistic; that is, their blood can only be given safely to the members of their ow"i group or of the first ,group. Rapid Improvement. The immediate effect of bleu.? trans- fusion on a patient dying from loss of blood is most startling. Within ten minutes of beginning the transfusion the patient shows signs of returning to life, his breathing from a series of deep sighs becomes normal, his pulse strengthens and his gray face regains its natural color. In the hospitals back of the battle lines in Fraimce a tiaizs- fusion was likely to bo a real race with death, the margin of time being sometimes as narrow as fifteen minutes. There was never any difficulty in. obtaining volunteers for the office of blood donor, for any mean took a genu- ine pleasure in helping to save a con- rade, especially when the rescue was I EllM i` C PEOPLE Can Only Find Relief by Enrich- ing the Blood. Rheumatism is a disorder of the blood. It attacks people wizen the blood is overcharged with acid and impurities, thus setting up inflamma- tion in the muscles and joints. Wet weather or cold weather of autumn may start the tortures of rheumatism, but is not the cause. The cause is in the blood and the blood only, Victims of this malady have every reason to fear the first dull ache in the limbs and joints, followed by sharp pains through the ilesll. and muscles; these are the symptoms of poison in the blood which may shortly leave the victim painracked and helpless. There is only one way to euro rheu- matism, and that is through the blood. Liniments, hot applications, and rub- bing may give temporary ease, but cannot possibly root the trouble out of the system. That can only bo done by the rich, red blood Which Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills actually make, This new blood drives out the- poisonous acids and impurities, and the rheumatism disappears. If you are a sufferer from this painful malady begin curing your- self. to -day by the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, and see. how soon the pains and stiffness of the joints fade away, leaving behind new energy and new health. You can get Dr. Williams' Pink fills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, from The Dr. Williams' Medi cine Co., Brockville, Out.

Professional blood donors, willing fora consideration to part with a pint or even more of their blood every three months for transfusion to the veins of another, are likely to become a recognized economic class in con- sequence of the improved technique and wider knowledge concerning the operation which have resulted from study and experiment by surgeons during the war. Only five years ago the transfusion of blood was a rare operation resorted to only, as a Iast resort. At the army hospitals in France, in spite of the difficulties in- herent in the conditions under which they worked, it became almost com- monplace, Two recent discoveries have served to overcome the difficulties formerly encountered in the transfer of blood from one person to another and to ex- plain the falures which sometimes marked the attempt in the earlier years of its history. To Prevent Clotting. The first discovery was that mixing the blood with a suitable solution of citrate of sodium prevented the ten- dency of the blood to clot immediately on being exposed to the atmosphere and dM not prevent the recipient from obtaining all time benefits of the trans- fusion. This clotting tendency of the blood had been previoiusly overeomne to some extent by using a ve:isel coat- ed with parafine, a method which at least delayel the cletting, but is not absolutely certain and presents tech.

Mouth breathing is not what many people regard it, merely a bad habit, which, makes a child look a little stupid, but which is sure to be out- grown in time, On the contrary, it is a result of disease and a cause of disease, and if not corrected early in life it may a 41'eet..gravely the person's whole future. Anything that interferes with the passage of the necessary quantity of air through the nose will cause mouth breathing. It may be an obstruction in the throat back of the nose, such as enlarged tonsils or—peehops the most common causc—adenoids. But even if you learn by inspection that the ton- sil's are normal and that there- are no adenoids, there "nay be some trouble with the nose itself, such as a deviated septum or an overdevelopment --of cer- tain parts that obstructs the nasal passage to some extent. The effects of mouth breathing are in many respects the same as those of breathing impure air. The complexion becomes pale, the lips are blue, and the eyes are dull;•the body is either emaciated or bloated, and the muscles are flabby; the child wakes ,in the morning unre'freshed and often with a headache, dry mouth and throat, and foul breath,. Normally, moreover, the air passing through the nose is warned and filter- ed, and the dust and germs are. in great measure sifted out; but the mouth breather takes the raw, cold air directly into his throat together with whatever germs there may be floating in it. As an inevitable conse- quence, he is always more or less subject to bronchial and lung troubles. In overcoming mouth breathing after the causes are removed, the child must be put through a corse of breathing exercises to overcome the habit. Sometimes, if the child is taken in hand soon enough, the breathing exercises will not only restore the habit of normal respiration through the nose but will even lead the adenoid swelling to subside without an op- eration. In any case, a course of setting -up exercises in the open air, to improve the carriage, expand the chest and restore the tone of the mus- cles of the body, should be combined with the following breathing exercises, which may be amplified or bettered by the physician or parent: Stand erect with the palms of the hands resting on the lower part of the chest and—keeping the mouth firmly closed—take a slow, deep breath, at the same tune raising the shoulders and expanding the chest. This should take seven seconds. Hold the breath three seconds and expire slowly but forcibly for five seconds, emptying the lungs as completely as possible. Do this fiy,e times, then rest breathing quietly through the nose five times. Repeat the deep breathing five times, but now with the diaphragm rather than the chest wails, expanding the abdomen. For arother exercise, close one nos- tztil by pressing it and breathe in through the others; change the pres- sure to the other nostril and breathe out; then breathe in through the nos- tril that was first closed and out through the other. To.' restore the flexibility and ex- pression of the face, exercise the mouth muscles by alternately pouting and sinning ten or twenty times in succession, by opening the mouth wide and then closing the lips firmly while keeping the jaws apart, and by whistl- ing. Also massage the cheeks and lips and the sides of the nose. Humming '@,on a high note with the mouth firmly closed is a useful throat exercise. Other exercise will suggest therrl- selves if you remember that the object is bo restore nose breathing and the habit of keeping the mouth' closed. At first it•may be necessary to keep the mouth closed at night"by two crossed strips of adhesive plaster; but this should be attempted only with the co-operation of the child; otherwise the harmful effects of the loss of sleep would outweigh the good gained by nose breathing during the night.
