One of the first steps in analyzing Our daily diet is to check up on the amount of roughage we are eating. To keep digestive tract in the prime of condition, Nature demands that We eat a goodly supply of bulky foods, especially those containing a residue. These foods assist in stimulating the excretion of all digestive juices along the canal through which it passes and are thus conducive of a normal elim- ination of bodily waste. When the family begins to get grouchy and they get up in the mornâ€" ing with the pink faded from their cheeks, try feeding them some of these good things made of bran, and watch the results.

Even though my little girls had a' closet all their own in which to hang their clothes, they quite often left them lying around 'on chairs, on the bed or even on the floor. This in spite of my frequent reminders that untidi-t ness is a most distressing habit. I hit upon a plan that has solved the problem satisfactorily; in fact, I never have to pick their clothes up now. I bought several Wooden hang- ers, a can of blue and a can of pink enamel, a call of shellac and a small brush. I let the girls watch mic make {hose plain hangers into wonderfully attractive things with the enamel. When they were dry I cut from old magazines tiny heads and figures. 0n the hangers for party dresses I pasted fairy figures and butterflies. On the hangers for coats I pasted winter scenes. On the ones for play dresses I pasted appropriate figures. There was even a hanger for the nightie, with the figure of the cunningest sort of a. sleeping}; baby pasted on. I gave all the hangers a coat of shellac and to one girl I gave all the pink hangers and to the other all the hlne ones. It‘s fun now for them to of a. slee; I gave shellac ar pink hang blue ones hang the proper h? upo DOL' appir xght About the House LESSON IN TIDINESS their garn‘ ' hangersâ€"1 pull the paper 01 to be torn ofl’. a arge enough for -.

Tile wallpaper, which is widely used for decorating bathrooms and kit- chens, will last twice as long if a protecting coat of clear varnish is applied soon after the paper is hung. The glazed surface of the tile paper itself will not stand much washing, but when re-enforced with a thin coat of good varnish, spots may be wiped off with a wet cloth without affecting the paper. Thus a continued sanitary condition of the walls is easily pos- sible. 7 Even when walls have been papered for some length of time it pays to go over the glazed surface with a good Qarnish. “It is surprising how much fresher the room will look and how much longer the paper will last.

More people suffer from worry than anything else." The sort of thing the specialist spoke of is the nervous, rundown con- dition caused by overwork and the many anxieties of to-day. Sufferers find themselves tired. low-spirited and unable to keep their minds on any- thing. Any sudden noise hurts them like a blow. They are full of ground- less fears, do not sleep well at night. Headaches and other nerve pains are part of the misery, and it all comes from starved nerves. pate lWeak, Watery Blood the Source of All Nervousness. GOOD RED BLOOD A REAL NERVE TONEC Doctoring the nerves with poisonous sedatives is a terrible mistake. The‘ only real nerve tonic is a good supply of rich red blood. Therefore to reâ€" lieve nervousness and run-down health Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills should be taken. These pills enrich the blood, which tones the nerves, improves the appetite, gives new strength and spirits, and makes hitherto despondent people bright and cheerful. if you are at all “out of sorts" you should begin taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. Fresh air is the breath of life. There is little use in trying to keep well if we do not get abundance of pure, fresh air to breathe. Alum-n .u. People whose resistance is weak- ened by disease and who must fight not only to keep alive but to conquer the germs of any disease like tuber- culosis must have abundance of fresh air. For them it is not enough to spend the daylight hours in the open; the entire twenty-four hours should be fresh air hours. The windows should be open or the porch avail- able at all times. The tuberculosis patient who tries to stay in the open air as much as possible and who faithâ€" fully follows the other directions of his physician, has the best chance of recovery. .VVV.-._,V For those who are well, good health is promoted and maintained by no better means than suitable out- door exercise and good food. If every man, woman and young person in this country could be persuaded as a mat- ter of daily routine to take at least twelve deep breaths in the open air, or before an open window every morning, the residual air in the lungs would be replaced by fresh air and cific The Breath of Life. 31 M AWARDED QUEB more oxygen supplied for the general upkeep of the body.

AND THE WORST IS YET TO COME HOI The Stiriup-Cup. F311ng {IF an mat Those who go down to the sea in ships are not the only ones who see the wonders of the deal) and 0f the sky. The engineers who go to meas ure the land witness wonderful phe- ‘nomena and even make use of them in their daily operations. The engi'- neers of the Geodetic Survey of Canada in the triangulation of the vast areas they are called upon to measure are sometimes forced to se- cure sights between points which tax the maximum resources of their equipment and indeed sometimes ex< Iceed them except under extraordinary conditions. Higher towers at times are not feasible and more powerful lights or telescopes are useless if the line of sight is obstructed. W'hen some part of the earth comes between ‘Lthe two observation points it would aseem that there is nothing left for .the surveyor to do, but Geodetic en- gineers have found that by taking ad- vantage of times when the beam of light bends conveniently they can make their observations. For example in observing points on the north shore of the St. Lawrence from the south or Gaspe coast it was found that the straight line (about 80 miles long) between the two points passed under the surface of the water. It was im- possible to use higher towers and on several clear nights tests showed that the lights were invisible. Then came several nights when the condi- tions of refraction were abnormal and when owing to the upward arching of the line of sight the north and south shore lights became intervisible, and it was possible to complete the required angular measurements. More- over the refraction was on its good behavior and while it conveniently bent the line perpendicularly so as to pass over the hill of water, so to say, between the lights, it did not bend it horizontally, and the meas- urements were consequently accurate. How the engineers assured themselves that the line did not bend horizontally is another story, but they also deter- mined that point. At other times abnormal refraction develops in other forms. In taking observations at night between Cape Breton and the Magdalen Islands it was necessary to take readings on the image of the electric light when it appeared as a vertical pencil or band approximately fifty feet wide and half a mile high. Sometimes the image appeared as a series of disks one above the other. At times the disks were all of one color, yellow or white, and clean cut and separate. At other times the disks overlapped and were 0the Ingenious Means Used in Surveying Operations [IE and gre ations rawlin 1F en in regular order. were noted when 9 Centre 11$ e
