The strength of a chain is measured by its weakest link. It matters not how ponderous and massive some of the links maybe, the chain has little strength and will not stand the strain if even one of its links are defective. This is true whatever phase of life one considers. Take a baseball game for instance. What eater drawback could be imagined t an 'to have one weak man on the team? All the others are playing faultless ball and nothing seems to be in the way of victory. But the poor player drops the ball at a crucial moment when a catch should have been certain and the opponents score a home run, evenâ€" ing up the Score or winning the game. It was the weak player that did the trick. In an line of organized sport such as row ng, every man must do his bit and do it well. There must be no weak spots anywhere. And so it is when we think of the public health and the efforts that are being put forâ€" ward to keep the people well and strong, to prevent the spread of com- municable disease, to save the lives of mothers and infants. to protect workers in industry and to pr0vide clean food, safe milk and pure water for drinking purposes.

Blundell Maple left a great fortune to his daughter on con- dition that she spent at least 240 days out of each year in England. An ap- peal against the condition went against the lady. Conditions made by testabors are not, however. always good in law. A man left his sister $20,000 on condi- tioin that she never married, but a year or so later, when she went to the Courts about the matter, the judge granted her relief. you: ayculx uvvuu .v.

He also directed that no per- son should have any of his money who adopted the Roman Catholic faith. Novelists are fond of a plot in which a will lays down that the inheritor must marry within a. certain period. Such wills are rare in real life; but a Mr. Nelson Roe, an Irishman, on his death, left his brother three farms and $30,000 on condition that he marâ€" ried within six months. The brother lost no time in fulfilling the necessary condition. ‘You can get these pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 600 a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine C0,, Brockville, Ont. What to Do if You Find Yourself in This Condition. The sort of thing that specialists speak of as nervous debili'tay is the rundown condition caused by over- work. household care or worries.

MIDDLETON ti! ‘ervice to the 1m! per community. All phases of the work came up for discussion, child welfare, mental deficiency, delinquents, better- ing the condition of the poor, provid- ing better facilities for workers, guarding their health and preventing accidents. These and many other topics were thoroughly considered. In listening to a discussion on industrial hygiene problems, I jetted down a few notes. They tend to show how varied and interesting are the subjects being dealt with, and how they pertain to the welfare of the industrial workers â€"â€"a class which. comprises such a large part of our population. Here are some of the things talked about: Protection of workers against an- thrax and lead poisoning also came up for discussion, as did also the ques- tion of providing legislation for the protection of Women workers before and after childbirth. Low wages and long hours produce a lower standard of living, immoral- ity and disease. A deaf and dumb person who is fairly expert at the finger language can speak about forty-three words a minute. “Sneaking out no the twelve~mile limit, I'll bet." Outward Bound. “The Jersey coast is slipping sea.- ward, they say.” But not everyone is so fortunate. Some apparently strange wills have been held good in law. The oddest will of xccent years was that of the Indian merchant, Mr. Charles Wallace, who left $1,260,000 to his son, but only on condition that he obtained a baronetcy. The son at- tempted to obtain relief, but the Court decided again-st him. to be handed over to :1 hos‘pitaVOther wise the money was to go to the hos pital. this case the nephew/was not obliged to Carry out the unpleasant condition. An American left $300,000 to his wife, with the stipulation that she should forfeit every penny of she ap- peared in any public place unveiled, or even smiled at a man. These ridicul- ous conditions were held to be tyran- nous. and the widow .was set free from them by the Courts. So, too. in the case of the London stockbroker, who left his son a huge fortune on condition that he never visited or saw his mother. It appears; that. in English law, a subject cannot. legally bequeath his or her body for sm’entific purposes, so in this case the uephew~was not obliged to carry out the unpleasant condition.

The sugar cane juice, constituting about 80 per cent. of the weight 0: the cane, says “Nature Magazine," is clarified by the addition of lime. ' As I lookedwt the poor young fel- lowâ€"he was only twenty-five years oldâ€"dand gazed sadly upon his thin, white face and noticed how now and again the dreadful fever and ague took hold of hlm and shook him until his teeth rattled I could not but re- flect upon the magnificent dominance of that undying sixth-form spirit: “Play up, play up, and play the game!"

I haven’t seen a, White woman for two years, and I am always alone here, but I feel it keeps me in touch with the old country, and it helps to keep me decent and from becoming a slack- er.” I was once traveling through a vast forest in India when I came upon a lonely bungalow far mm the haunts of men. A young Englishman came forward to meet me and insisted on my stopping over as his guest for a day or two. I gladly accepted, for the heat was terrific. and a great storm was coming up over the mountains. But despite the fact. that the ther- mometer marked one hundred and twelve degrees in the shade and that my host was trembling with fever and ague he insisted on putting on a stiff white shirt and a. dinner Jacket! No one who has not experienced it has any conception what the discomfort of such a costume means in the plains of India in the height of the hot sea- son. I commented on it with a good deal of astonishment. A Dinner Jacket in the Jungle. Discussing the influences that make the character of a man, Mr. Raymond Blathwayt in the Tapestry of Life gives credit to the English public schools or incul‘catlng in the youth of the land the spirit that build the Bri- tish Empire. Such slogans as “Go it, Eton!" "Well done, Rugby!"~whlch once gave the thrill of a great deter- mination never to quit whatever the oddsâ€"have, he believes, carried the English into far places. As a good ample of that dogged apirit he tells this srtory: More little ones die during the hot weather than at any other time of the year. Diarrhoea, dysentry, cholera infantum and stomach troubles came without warning. and when a medicine is not at hand to give promptly the short delay too frequently means that the child has passed beyond aid. Baby's Own Tablets should always be kept in the house where there are young children, An occasional dose of the Tablets will prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble comes suddenly the prompt use of the Tablets will relieve the baby.

One end of this is fastened to the inside of the coat under the armpit. The exact position will have to be de- termined by experiments. This is lead right through the cloth and through the buttonhole and a rose is fastened to the end. When the performer enters the parlor, the elastic is stretched and the rose hidden and held by the pres- sure of the upper arm against the body. To cause the rose to ap- pear in the buttonhoie, it is neces- sary only to relax the pressure of the arm against the body. Magi- cians usually arrange for the rose to be easily detached from the elastic, thus permitting an exami- nation of the flower and the auto- matic vanishing of the means by which the trick was done. (Clip this out and paste it, with other a] the series, tn a scrapbook.) This is a good stunt with which to begin a. series of parlor tricks. The trickster pretends to pick I magic seed out of the air and puts it on his coat lapel where a. but- tonhoie flower would be worn. The spectators can see that his hands are empty. He counts, "One.
