Ordinary sore throat is now regard- Id 49y many scientific men as a dis- :inctly infectious disease, and people :atch sore throat from other people. Keeping this in mind, it is well for those who are nursing a case of sore throat; to wear a face mask or to see that the patient wears one. This mask should be made of at least five layers of buttercloth or some other rather closely woven, washable fabric. It should be changed often enough that the_9ne in use may»a1waAys be I;th d_ry. The usual procedura for disinfection should be adopted. All clothes, hand- kerchiefs and towels used by the paâ€" tient should at once be sterilized by boiling. All cu 3, plates, spoons and forks used by t e sick person should also be sterilized. There is one point to remember, however. One rarely catches the dis- ease directly from a person who is sick. It is generally contracted by coming into close contact, usually in a crowded room, with those who are “carriers,” viz., people who are Well themselves but who carry in their nose or throat the kind of streptococci or gelms that cause ordin: ry tonsilitisz For more than a year, a study of this subject was made on a group of nurses in Johns Hopkins University. It was found that nurses became sick after they had spent an hour or more A Condition Following Indoor Confinement of Winter. There are very few people who do not need a tonic at this season of the year. The reason for this is that whether in the home, the oifice or the factory, people have been living throughout the long winter months in an atmosphere more or less vitiated, and as a result find themselves not up to their summer-time health. Through the long months of winter your blood has been growing tin and poor. Closer confinement and lack of exercise have used it up andvexhausted it. You are not as energetic as you could wish. Your work tires you and perhaps your digestion is none to good. Your nerves may be shaky and your appetite poor. All these things point to poverty of the blood. It is a scientific fact that it the blood of the strongest is tested ’in the spring there is less of it and it is poorer than it was in September. The spring medicines of our grand- mothersâ€"sulphur and molasses, salts and the likeâ€"recognized the necessity for aid at this seaon, but were an un- scientific attempts to cleanse the blood. Modern medical science has found a better way. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills make new. rich blood at the first dose and at every dose afterwards. Thus they strengthen every organ of the body and give new vitality to the jaded system. Here is proof. Miss Clara Chesloclr, High Falls, Que, sayszâ€"“I was in a much run-down condition and my blood was thin and poor. I must thank you for the good they did me. I never enjoyed better health than I have since I took them." You can get these pills throng dealer in medicine, or by mail cents a box from The Dr. Wil Medic-£113 Co., Brockville, Ont. Children can stand a whole lot of things; they are verile, strong, and cheerful. Naturally they do not pro- test as we older folks would, at hav- ing cold noon-day lunches. The fact remains, however, that they make more rapid gains in both weight and mentality when given hot lunches at the noon hour. Scatter with two; scatter w with none.

A remarkable feature of this study on nurses was that sore throats seem- ed to come in waves. In the summer months there were no cases, but an outbreak occurred eariy in October. There were no further cases between October 18th and November 2lst. From the latter ste until December 9th it again prevailed, but there was none from December 9th to January 3rd. It was further noticed that when the nurses were regrouped and new roommates were assigned, an outbreak of sore throat occurred. The study also showed that when girls who were susceptible were allotted to rooms with girls who carried the germ of tonsilitis, they shortly developed sore throat. These outbreaks were not explained by any peculiarity of the weather, temperature, sunshine or humidity. Nor was there a history of exposure to wet or chilling to explain ‘hem. . People get sore throat through in- fection with streptococci and usually in a very short space of time. The infectiém is spread by drinking from the same cups, using the same towels, coming in contact with carriers, such as results from these carriers breath- ing. coughing or sneezing in your face. H.

THE PIONEER IN CANADA Thirty-two years ago the now famous “SALADA” Tea was placed on the mail-tat in metal packages. “SALADA” was the pioneer package tea in Cans.- da. Immediately its superior flavor and purity won for it a great popu- larity that has been growing ever since. It is still a little different and a little better than ordinary tea. “Tell me when mes, for I want to at. My birthday is ntly moved ponds I! as her cl which Eli: in( é ma?

These Tablets are equally good for the newborn babe or the growing child and are absolutely safe. They cannot possibly do harm-â€" always good. The Tablets are mild but thorough laxative which regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus relieve baby of any of the minor ills of childhood such as consti- pation, indigestion, colds, colic, etc. Concerning them Mrs. Arthur Fillion, St. Sylvestre, Que, writeszâ€"“Baby‘s Own Tablets have been of wonderful benefit to my baby who was suffering from constipation and indigestion. I always keep the Tablets on hand and would advise all mothers to do like- wise.” The Tablets are sold by medl~ cine dealers or by mail at 25 cent a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine 00., Brockville, Ont. On a great many farms, especially with rough pasture laid, a flock of sheep is one of the most profitable side lines a farmer can carry. A great many more farmers would keep sheep if the dog menace could be reduced or eliminated. Some ten years ago we surrounded our farm with a woven-wire fence, with several fields cross fenced with the same kind of fencing. Since then stray-dog intrusion on our farm has been reduced almost to zero. On neigh- boring farms here with poor outside fences, sheep losses from dogs have been heavy, financially disastrous in cases. We also see to it that our sheep come home at least every night. To accomplish this we keep a box of salt for them continually at the barn and we offer the older Sheep 3 little grain every night and morning, even when pastures are good. This brings the flock home, the older sheep leading. And it keeps them near till after breakfast in the morning. And if a flock of sheep remains at or near home every night, dog menace is reduced. .
