A thirteen-yearâ€"old girl has just won a twentyâ€"five dollar prize for writing an essay on the subject “Honor thy father and thy mother." She finds no difficulty in obeying this Biblical injunction. but states emâ€" phatically that good parents are a necessity if the child is to grow up into a good citizen.

She finds no difficulty in obeying this Biblical injunction. but states emâ€" phatically that good parents are a necessity if the child isto grow up into a good citizen. Her line of was omng is very clear. She says: “Par~ exits have had the experience which we must get, and owing to this. they can make wise decisions when we most need them, and by which We ma)" benefit as long as we live. Make life easier for them and make them as happy as they. make us; the true friends, whose love is lifeâ€"enduringâ€" mother and father.” It is surprising what clearness of' intellect some children show.

Another curious expression in the Authorized Version 13 “The other has- ket had very naughty figs." That means fruit which was good for naught. . To-day the word "naughty" means “ill-behaved.” In the Prayer means "ilZ-heha Book the word "the preéent tim means a future distant. There There There Their Why Peopie Are Low Spirited and Depressed. Nearly all women and most men set~ fer at times from flts ot depression and low spirits. Everything seems a bur- den; then come periods, of nervous irâ€" ritability, headaches and weariness. People who suffer this way lack vital- ity because their blood is poor and nerves are starved in consequence. The only way the nerves can be reached is through the blood. By en- riching the blood with Dr. W'llliams’ Pink Pills the starved nerves are sup- plied with Just, the elements they need. This is proved by the experience of Mrs. J. E. Dadson, 12th Ave. East. Vancouver, 13.0., who saysz-“About three years ago I became very Week and nervous. I had pains in my slde and back, and also suffered from fre- quent pains in the back of my head and neck. I was hardly able to do anything about the house. I would wake with a start in the night and my heart would flatten so that It al‘ most choked me. I tried much doc- tor’s medicine but'it did me no per» manent good. One day I read about Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills and decided to give them a trial. These pills pro- duced such a beneficial change in a short time that I kept taking them un- tll l had used a dozen boxes. By this time there was such an improvement in my condition that friends would ask me What I was taking, and of course I was only too pleased to tell them it was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I am now feeling like a new person and am doing my own housework. We would not now be without Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in the house," Suddenly I was siartledby a. llttle furry creature whéth flited by me as if on wings.

Malaria 15 mainly a dis- ease of the tropics, and is caused by a minute parasite in the blood. The parasites in one malaria patient may number anything from one hundred to a, thousand millions. In many cases there are more parasites in the sys- tem of a malaria patient than there are people on the earth, and for ages it was believed that marshes and malaria were in some way connected. Sir Ronald Ross discovered that it was not the marsh but the mosquito which bred in the marsh which was the originator of the disease, and he declares that; the panasLte of malaria is, to the mosquito which carries it, as a threepenny-bit would be to a hippo- potamus! Whena diseasecarrylng mosquito bites, it injects a saliva in which are the malaria parasites. These are car. tied into the human circulatory sys- tem and so throughout the body. The cure for malaria is Quinine, but the prevention of malaria Is» the des- truction of the mosquito in which it breeds.
