Sir Rider Haggard has presented to the British Museum a gold ring which has an interesting history. He first saw it 67 years ago. attached to the watch-chain of the headmaster of his preparatory sbhool. who had received it from a friend, who had traveled much in America. The friend's story was that, while traveling in Peru. he had opened a gravemound. in which he found a stone table with 13 mummi~ fled figures seated rcund it.

The healthy child sleeps well and during its waking hairs is never cross but always happy and laughing. It is only the sickly child that is cross and peeviS‘h. Mothers, if your children do not sleep well; if they are cross and cry a great deal, give them Baby's Own Tablets and they will soon be well and happy again. The Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which HEAETHY CHILDREN ALWAYS SLEEP WELL The drones of the race instead of being idle and luxurious creatures, are sober, industrious and well behaved members of the community. They clean the streets of their town withl exempiary diligence; they act as pubâ€" lic scavengers or sanitary omcers. And they have their reward; for unlike the doomed bee drones they live their al- lotted life in peace and quietness, till winter involves both them and their-i spinster sisters in one common cata- clysm of death and destruction. I Wasps are at al‘l times particularly fond of honey. Indeed they have a very sweet tooth for sugar in any form. Toward the end of summer, therefore, as bee keepers we]! know, they wili force their way into bee hives as open robbers and carry off by main force as much as they can gorge of their wihged neighbor’s honey. Division of labor, it is believed, goes a long way in the nest. Some of the workers seem as be specially employ- ed as forage'rs and soldiers; others ap- pear to be told otf as nurses and guard- ians; while yet others are engaged as papermakers and masons. The human view of wasps seems to be lacking in breadth. Because they are given to stinging us we fail to do justice to their virtues. One scientist who has given much study to the mew ter says that the main doctrines of the wasp are. "If any wasp will not work neither shall he eat”; and "Every wasp to labor according to his capacity, and receive according to his needs in a free community.” You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brock- vllle, Ont. N.S., bears testimony to the value of these pflis in cases‘of this kind. He says: “I was attacked with indiges- tion accompanied by severe cramps in the stomach. I “as prescribed for by the ram-fly doctor, but got very little benefit. Then I tried some of the ad vertised remedies. but with no better result. Indeed my condition was grow- ing wome. Then I read of the case of a. man who praised Dr. Will‘iams' Pink Pills winese condition was similar to my Own. and I decided to try this medicine. The result, I think. was amazing, as the use of six boxes re- stored me to my former good health. I can therefore warmly recommend the use of this medicine for stomach trou- bies."

Pain and distress after eating is the way the stomach shows that it is too weak to perform the work of digesting the food taken, In this condition some , peo-ple foolishly resort to purgativesfi but these only further aggravate the trouble. 1 NEW STRENGTH HER WEAK STGMAEHS Indigestion Disappears W h e n the Blood Supply is Enriched.

It was the legend attached to this ring which. according to Sir Rider Haggard, first turned his imagination toward the invention of stories of adventure: and readers at “King Solomon’s Mines” will recognize in it the origin of a striking episode in that book. Fiftyfive years after he first saw the ring it still remained vividly in Sir Rider Haggard’s men- ory. and he .described its appearance in a story.

There is no ylonger any valley of dry bones In 'connection with that organization. It lfairly bubbles out with enthusiasm, and the health vista of the future is one of assurance, of confidence and of hope.‘ It was a pleasure to attend the meeting and hear the discussions so ably presided over by Dr. W. J. Shaw of Clinton. Dr. Shaw has got the twentieth century viewpoint. He wants something done. He is not con- tent with a mere rehash of foibles, failings and shortcomings in public health work. He insists on finding a solution. “I have heard this same list of adversities, of barriers to be; crossed, for years and years. No-‘ thing, or next to nothing, has beeni done to remedy them, but now they must be remedied.” That Is the way to talk. When Medical Officers of Health’ say “must” they mean busi-[ ness. And they have the Public- Health Act at their backs. l Dr. Robert, M.0.H. of Hamilton, advocated the same scheme for health districts from 20 to 25 thousand people. Dr. F. J. Farley of Trenton. Presi- dent of the Ontario Medical Associa- tion, delivered one of the most forceâ€" ful addresses one could wish to hear. He maintained that the necessity for Public Health Work was so obvious that public opinion should not toler- ate any government in power that would not endorse and carry out a public health program that would tend to insure the happiness, health and welfare of the people. Other important recbmmend-ations Dr. Farley made were the establish- ment of county laboratories for the country physicians, the appointment of properly trained, whole-time county medical health officers, and commun! ity nurses. l The If ever there was a live conference IF Dr. MiddXeton will be glad to answer questions on Public Heath mat- ters through this column.

The inspec- tion of farms and the education of the farmers, having as inspectors veter- inary graduates, and the inspection of all equipment used in producing and delivering the milk, and in the process of pasteurization were abso- lutely necessary according to Dr. Fleming. Several doctors and inspectors from various parts of the province, lnclud~ ing Galt, Brantford and Ottawa, main- tained that the most important ques- tion of all was the condition of the herds. One suggestion offered was that each municipality should have complete control of the milk supply. Mr. Alex White, Chief Sanitary In- specter of the province, advocated the appointment by the Government of three trained milk specialists who could approach the question from the dairymen’s standpoint. Dr. Roberts, Medical Officer of Health of Hamilton, pleaded for the laboratory diagnosis of milk. Twenty- five per cent. of all the cases of surgi- cal tuberculosis are caused from the bovine tubercular organisms that the human being obtains from milk," he said. m the morning, on the subject of “How to Produce a Clean and Safe Milk Supply,” some of the conditions throughout the province are very bad. “If I were dictator,” Mr. Stonehouse declared, “I would pass a Dominion law to-morrow, if that were possible, for the compulsory pasteurization of milk in every city, town and village.
