Under such con- ditions the nation would have made tome show at keeping pace with the overhead charges imposed by two new Health h-subits; How to ke Health Education; Hints on Child Welfare. These are some of the headlines one sees in almost any newepaper to- day. This publicity is a sign of the times, for as a rule discerning editors only print what the public want to read. Experience has Shown, however, that the newspaper is a great teacher, and can lead its readers in right paths. Indeed. there are many oases where the public can be educated through the press to realize the importance of contemplated reforms of which they pmviousvlry knew little or nothing. In Public Health propaganda thmugh- out the country, nothing- is of more assistance than the local newspaper. It goes into the homes of the people as nothing else does and stimulates interest in the subject. Some idea of the farâ€"(reaching ramifications of the country newspaper can be obtained Inquiries have come from far be- yond the boundaries of Ontario, ask- ing fior’information on healtle matters.

It is only the sickly child that is cross and poevish. Mothers, it your children do not sleep well; if they are cross and cry a. great deal give them Baby's Own Tablet and they will soon be well and happy again The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach, banish constipation, colic and indiges- tion and promote healthful sleep. They are absolutely guaranteed free from opiates and may be given to the new- born babe with perfect safety.

What is needed is a for- ward constructive immigration policy â€"a policy which while taking note of existing unemployment and safe- guarding the interests of organized labor, will not only remove unneces- sary obstacles to an intensive land settlement movement but actively pro mote such a movement in keeping with the needs of the nation. In.the working out of such a program in- valuable oo-operation may be expect- ed from the railways, the Provincial Governments, Colonization Associa- tions and other immigration agencies. That way lies the road back to na- tional prosperity and economic sta- bility for all classes in the community. need for co-operation among employers in industry. “There must be unity of purpose," he declar- ed, “steady plndding in consideration for our fel'bows. We; must be true to ourselves, true to Ieach other, and all must recognize and appreciate the value of service.” It would be well if many organiza- tions that are planning to combat in- fant mortality and do welfare work of all kinds, Would take a note from the Rotary Clubâ€"these splendid organizations that are now being ex- tended to practically every city on the continent of North America. These clubs stand for service to others, and their driving motive is the desire to spread happiness and to make the world a better place to live in for as many people as possible. The work of the Women’s Institutes throughout the province is also beyond all praise. The yearly record of one out of every ten babies dying before reach- ing one year of age. the large number of phylstiuall defects in children, the advantages of breast feeding of the infant, the large number of physical defects uncorrected in young children, the lack of sanitation in many homes, the protection of life and limb in in- dustrial pursuit, the coming for the feeble-minded, and the necessity for their education. These are some of the problems confronting everyone active in Public Health work at tha present time. There is much work to be done if the race is going to mainâ€" talirn its full vigor. Education of the people, and bring- ing them close together in the study of these problems, is what counts now and wflfl continue to count as the im- portance of Public Head’bh work be- comes move and more apparent. For progress along these lines has ‘a funr damenrtafl and direct bearing on our national wellâ€"being. trans-continental railways constructed before their time. There would have been a growing volume of freight and passenger business which naturally would have reduced the heavy deficits on these roads and gone far to place the Whole country on a sound financial basis. The lesson is plain. More popula- tion is the cure for Canada's fiscal and economic ills. The leeway lost during the last seven years must be recover- ed. Once the general election is over, the government of the day must devote special attention to the task of getting more people on the soil. From 20,- 000,000 to 30,000,000 acres of idle land along the Western railways must be brought under the plow. There is ample room for tens of thousands of additional farmers in old Ontario, New Ontario, British Columbia and the Maritime Provinces. Closer settle- ment of the land will mean a growing volume of exports, a wider home mar- ket for the products of Canadian fac- tories, the reduction of unemployment in towns and cities, healthier indus- trial conditions everywhere, rising public revenues, and a progressive easing of the per capita burden of na- tional taxation.

An aeetyl‘ene gas light plant on the farm furnishes light for the house, barns and other outside build- ings and makes it possible for Mrs. Scott to do her cooking on a gas stove and her ironing with a gas iron. The side verandlah. which is screenâ€" ed and fitted with lights, is used for 3 Laundry room. There are double tubs and the power washer is run ‘by the power engine, which is also on the verandah. By means of these aids to efficiency, washing becomes not a bore but a real pleasure, and time that otherwise might have to be put in at drudgery is used for community afâ€" fairs of which Mrs. Scott is one of the leaders. The bathroom in this home is thor- oughly modern. Over the lavatory bowl is a built-in medicine chest with a mirror in the (loot.

Cleaning cloths and dust map and also the ironing board‘ are kept owt of sight but handy in a cleaning closet in the bathroom. Soiled clothes are taken care of in a built-in box with a hinged lid‘.

The walls are blue half way down and the rest is in oiltcloth-. The ceiling is painted in Fbufl’ color. The linoleum in buff and blue, carries out the bolotr scheme on the Walls and ceiling. The porcelain sink has two broad- drralitn boards and there are two wihdows above the sink that insure plenty of light. Above the Windows reaching to the ceiling are buillt-in clipboards in which can be stored extra dishes, bak- ing tins and; other equipment not used daily. On each [side of the windows are the cupboards used to hold dishes and kitchen utensils. On each side of the dvain boards are built-«in cabinets. One. of these contains a. Ilarge lbaking board and below it three bins for dif- ferent kinds of flour and sugar. The bottom part of the other cabinet has several closets for big pans and other large utensils. The top part of the cabinets is made into work tables and just above them and below the cup- boards are hooks to hang utensils such as egg-beater, large spoons, wire spoon, strainer and so forth. Mrsu Scott has a wire dish dnainer which cost her one dollar and twenty- five cents, and which she says is the best laborâ€"saving and time-saving de- vice slhe C-O‘Ullld have for the money.

No one can bonastly promise to restore any stomach to this happy condition, because all people cannot eat the same things with equal- ly satisfactory results. But it is post slble to so tone up the digestive or- gans that a: pleasing diet. may be selected from articles of food that cause no discomfort. Stomachs Can be Restored to a Healthy Condition. When the stomach lacks tone there is no quicker way to restore it than to build up the blood. Good digestion without rich, red blood is impossible, and Dr. Wiiliams’ Pink Pills ofler the best way to enrich the blood. For this reason these pills are especially good in stomach trouble attended by thin blood, and in attacks of nervous» dyspepsia. Proof of the value of Dr: Williams' Pink Pills in_cases of indi4 gestion is given by Mr. John A. Mc< Donald, Tarbot, N.S., who says:I “Every sufferer from indigestion has my heartfelt sympathy, as I was once, myself a bond slave to it. Eating at all became a trial, and as time went on I became a mere skeleton of my former self. I took all sorts of re- commended medioines, doctors’ and advertised, but to no avail. Then a friend said to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I got a box and I thought be fore they were done I could feel a change. Then I got six boxes more, and by the time they were used I was eating my meals with regularity and enjoyment. My general health is now good, and it is no wonder that I am an enthusiastic advocate of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."
