It is no longer a question of whether a country can afford the expense of social reform. What it cannot afford is the waste, which must inevitably arise from the want of it. For what Child Welfare is, no doubt, the chief corner-stone of a nation’s welfare, and considenation of other aspects of so- cial reform as affecting the child should help greatly towards the effecâ€" tive solution of a problem which brooks no delay. There is no excuse to-day for a high infant mortality, for experience in other countries shows quite clearly how it may be decreased, and as soon as public opinion insists upon effective measures being adopted, the rate of mortality will go down, and the health of the children will marvellously im- prove. Public opinion, when once awake and keen is irresistible, and I would ungie all workers and sym- pathize'rs in Child Welfare to exert all their power towards so educating public opinion, that the demand for immediate reform may be pressed with a driving force that carries all before it. “There is a world-wide movement on behalf of children to-day,” writes Lady Buxton, “and it is being gradu- ally realized that for years past there has been a criminalgbecause prevent- ableâ€"waste of child life everywhere, and all thinking people are determined to put an end to it. Viscountess Buxton, wife of the re- cent Governor-General of the Union of South Africa, is an enthusiastic worker in the cause. “Save the babies" is a slogan at present echoing round the world. From all civilized countries come re- ports of progress made in the work of Child Welfare, and governments are becoming alive to the fact that the normal healthy child is the na- tion’s best asset. NOTHINQ T0 EQUAL BABY’S OWN TABLES Mrs.~Georges Lefebvre, St. Zenon, Que, writes: "I do not think there is any other medicine to equal Baby's Own Tablets for little ones. I have used them for my baby and would use nothing else." What Mrs. Lefebvx'e says thousands of other mothers say. They have found by trial that the Tab- lets always do just what is claimed (or them.

Mr. Jenkins Took‘a Cracked Club To Tame Lions BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON Made by Canadian Postum Cereal Co., Limited, Windsor, Ontario HEALTH EDUEAHQN Provincial Board of Health, Ontario Grape-Nutsâ€"the Bedy Builder When we think of what might 'be done, the words of Wordsworth come to mind:â€"â€" “A simple child, That lightly draws its breath, And feels its life in every limb. What should it know of death?” And yet 7,804 babies died in Ontario last year before they were twelve months old. The storage of milk and food in unsuitable places is often responsible for children’s ailments, so the pro- vision of a pantry, or suitable place for the storage of milk and food is absolutely essential. It is by ordinary, everyâ€"day practices that we develop the health spirit, and of these the handling of food is one of the most important. Many lives of children would undoubtedly be saved if the question of a hygienic .food and milk supply was given more attention. Knowledge alone will not save the babies, but with-out knowledge they will assuredly die. Knowledge, how- ever, combined with the will and de- termination to put it into effect will assuredly reap a rich harvest. Infants die because those who are responsible for their care have not the knowledge requisite for adapting or modifying the rapidly changing environment which civilization imposes, to the more slowly changing “make-up” and con- stitution of the human baby. These are impressive 'words and show the earnest thought that Vis- countess Buxton has given to this great work. Her services to the chil- dren of South Africa have been in- valuable, and it was with great regret that she had to sever her active con- nection with the child welfare move- ment in the Union when Lord Buxton’s term as Governor-General was com- pleted. shall a country give in exchange for its children?

The exhibition ended rather badly. It very nearly was a big day for the lions and a sad day for Mr. Jenkinsâ€"all for want of proper care in getting ready.

He is startled that the days flash past, like a landscape seen from a car win- dow, and he seems to have done no- thing with them. He cannot catch up to tell others how imperfectly they perform. It is easier to sit in a windqw caffiing at an earth, gone wrong and a future not worth going to. It is-easier to descant on the past and mourn that it cannot_ be re- captured. But we are mortally weak. We tire so soon. We know that concentration is the first and the last prescription for success. But it is easier to aream than to be up and doing. It is easier Our business is not with ten or twenty years henceâ€"though we may keep that time providently in the dis- tant View. Our imminent duty is to- ward “the unforgiving minute” and to the immediate, imminent hour. Could we put all we hziiIe and are into it, and keep this up through the hours that come thereafter, we should have no fear of ending our lives miserably, with the epitaph of “failure” written over us. Every remarkable spirit has had to overcome. None crowns himself and no reward is automatic. Never do the things worth having occur gra- tuitoust and easily. To plan life is like playing chess. In the mind, we plot our moves. But we cannot execute our strategy unim- peded. The enemy rises in the way, to confute and to frustrate. Constant- ly we must reshape the scheme of our offensive. But there could be no Capablanca without an opposition. A championship implies a conquest of resistance, never a solo performance. The long~forward look in a mortal lifetime is not possible. We see what we desire afar off, but as we march to it there are interruptions. If we are of a meekly submissive disposi- tion, we resign ourselves with a pious Mvoslem fatalism to the decxree of “destiny.” If We have what Col. Roosevelt used to call a “fighting edge,” we persist, as those who would make stepping-stones of failure, and compel the circumstance itself to fol- low at heel. No. 26â€"thite to draw.
