We will face the oncoming year with enthusiasm, courage, and a de- termination to establish still higher our standard of service. I thank you one and all for the way you have responded to the demands upon you and for the excellent service you have given the Company. Es- pecially, I wish to thank those em- ployees who come in contact with the travelling public for the courtesy they have displayed. They have. indeed. treated every passenger on our rail- way as a guest of the Company, with the result that not only have our men found satisfaction in their work but they have materially added to the good opinion of our undertaking exist- lng in the minds of the public. The following signed message from Sir Henry W. Thornton, K.B.E., Presi- dent and Chairman of the Boards of Directors of the Canadian National Railways, to oflicers and en._‘.loyees of the System, is published in the Decem- ber issue of the Canadian National Railway’s Magazine. To Officers and Employees: I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. For twelve months' we have been engaged in a joint enterprise and any success we have met with has been largely due to the fine spirit and efficient service ren- dered by officers and employees. Gray Roofs 6’ Glouccster. (Signed) H. W. THORNTON, President ASPIRIN Where children are far enough adâ€" vanced to have home study, he sure that they regularly set aside the same time for it every day. Regularity Is a good habigto acquire. Don’t expect the teacher to control your child If you have failed at home. Habits of obediencga and respect for authority must be learned first at home. Don't give children much spending money. Let them earn it; otherwise an excellent opportunity to acquire the habit of thrift ls lost. \Vhere children are far enough ad- self!” Earnest parents, who would appreci- ate the problems of the school depart- ment, and who really want to assist the work of education, may find some of the following suggestions helpful: Fathers, know your sons. Mothers, know your daughters. Children who have been taught always to confide in their parents can be trusted anywhere. Find some daily home duties or chores for your boy and girl to do. and they will come to appreciate in some degree the sarclflces you are making for them. Don’t believe every report your child brings home. Children do not all lie, but most children have a strong imagination which tends to operate in their own favor when they are guilty.

The Tablets are mild but thorough laxative which never fail to regulate the bowels and stomach, thus driving out constipation and indiges- tion; ‘colds and simple fevers. Con- cerning them Mrs. Gaspard Daigle. De- main, Que, writes: "Baby's Own Tab- lets have been of great benefit to my little boy, who was suffering from con- stipation and indigestion. They quick- ly relieVed him and now he is in the best of health." The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cts. a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. CHILDHOOD CONSTIPATKON A more effective finish is for the magician to hold the cards behind his back and take out the cards as requested by each of the spectators. This is just as easy as the other method as the cards are in the exact order that they were in after the cards were gathered from the spec- tators. Four persons select four cards each and remember the cards. it they have difficulty in remembering, they may make notes to help their memories. The performer now gath- ers the cards. Taking the pack or sixteen cards in his hands (holding the cards face down, of course) he deals the cards xmto two heaps. The heap on which the top ’card was placed, is put on the other heap. The sixteen cards are again dealt into two heaps and taken up as before. This is done twice Jame (four times in all). The cam?» now dealt into four heaps, dealing the first toul' cards on one heap. etc. The first heap is the cards se lected by the first man, the second heap selected by the second man, and so on.

The Cards EASY TRICKS Only Fit for a The Home and the School No. 59 You Selected Don't apply the adult standard to the work of your children. Don't up- brald your boy because he can’t do sum as well as you or your book- keeper can. Try to remember how many times the teacher made you stand in the corner for blunderlng over the same sums when you were a boy. It you have a complaint to make, go first to the principal or the school, not to the superintendent. a board mem- ber, or the editor 0! the newspaper. The principal knows the facts best and can give the readiest relief. By giv- ing the principal the first opportunity to answer your complaint you help to preserve cordial relations between the home.and school. That helps ygur child, and that is the main thing. Don't expect miracles. Not all childâ€" ren are equally apt. The school trains minds, but doesn't furnish them. Don’t criticize every new thing that the schools are attempting. Consider where your business would be it you still used the same methods and the same equipment that were used “when you were a boy." both‘ sides. In nine cases out 01'. ten you will find to your embarrassment that your child was wrong; and in the tenth case it is better to sufler a slight injustice than to destroy the teacher’s influence over him. “Yes; but in these days whatever King Gold touches turns Into anything you want." The Maglc Touch. "In the old days whatever King Midas touched turned into gold.” One such glimpse of Wild life as that is worth many a day of effort. You can remember such a picture with pleasure long after you have forgotten things that are far more "important." I was walking down a trout stream one October afternoon when the sun was low. On either side the laurel and rhododendron bushes so overhung the water that further progress was diffi- cut, and I had almost given up trying and was stepping from a stone to the shore, when I saw an unnatural sheen coming form some object thirty yards downstream. Crouching on the rocks, I peered through the Iaurels. There, lining either side of the stream and taking their sundown drink, were thirty-two wild turkeys! I could count them readily. They drank in peace and departed in peace, for I never. showed myself. Unlike the sportsman with a gun, the man who "hunts" with his eyes alone is never disappointed. Mr. Archibald Rutledge. writing in Field and Stream, gives this pleasing (les- cription of a pretty and unusual sight that he once saw: A remedy that has corrected many cases of rheumatism is Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. These pills enrich and purify the blood so that the poisonous rheumatic matter is driven out of the system as nature intended. Miss Ger- tie Denne, Washago. 0nt., was attack- ed with rheumatism and found relief through Dr. W'illiams' Pink Pills. She says:â€"“About a year ago I was at- tacked by rheumatism and for two weeks was confined to my bed. The trouble was so painful, affecting the joints of my limbs so that I could not stand alone. Mother had a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the house and thought they might help me. I began taking them, and when I had taken these pills got a further supply, with the result that the rheumatism van- ished and I was a well girl. I may add that my mother and two of my sisters have also used the pills for various ail- ments with equal success, and now we are never without them in the house.” If you are suffering from any con- dition due to poor. watery blood, or weak nerves, begin taking Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills now, an note how your strength and health will improve. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The first sign of rheumatism is fre- quently a pain and swemng of one of the joints. If this is not treated through the blood, which is the seat of the disease, the poison spreadsâ€"af- fecting other joints and tissuesâ€"some- times rheumatism att‘écks the heart and is fatal.

It cuts the fungus and gives relief. More Phosphate it you want your complexion to clear, eyes to brighten, and skin to become 50:: and smooth.

The Bible is far in advance of any other book in the number of its trans- lations, for it has actually been ren- dered in whole or in part into 770 languages and dialects and the end is not yet in sight. The translation is still progressing at the rate of one complete book of the Bible in a new language every six weeks, a speed re- cord which has been maintained for over twenty years. Mother!

The stock salesman, after painting a beautiful word picture, said: "Now. Mr. Jones, you know this company hasn’t got a dollar's worth of watered stock in it. How much are you going to buy?” “That‘s what I aye think 0’,” the beadle replied.

SUN.WIND.DUST éCINDERS We have another view of the beadle in the case of a minister who, Wishing to show his approbation, told that of- ficial that his office had a dignity of its own, as well as that of the elders. All the old-fashioned beadles in churches have not been merged into the modern "church officer.” It was only some two years ago, writes Mr. David Cuthberts-on in Revelations of a Library Life. that I visited one of the city churches in Scotland, and when I asked the beadle at the entrance whether I could be shown to a seat he replied: “Just gang your way inside. sir, an’ tak a look roun'. an’ when you see a seat whaur you think you would be comfortable just step inside!"
