When the discovery of adequate means to prevent a disease is found,' one would suppose that the disease' would soon disappear, but often it does not Why? One reason is that when scientific knowledg:e runs coun-' ter to custom, the mandates of science ' are not put into practice as readily j as they should be. Custom and habit are two wonderful things. They are' sometimes useful and sometimes just the reverse. An instance in practical; illustration is afforded by the pre-: valence of a disease known as beri-' beri, in the far East. For some time the relation of this disease to food has been known and recognized. In i certain countries of the East the staple food of the people is rice, and the polished rice, evidently because it looks nicer and cleaner, is preferred,; or at least seems to be oftentimes used. Now in polishing rice the vita-l mine-containing kernel is largely re- moved, so that a population whose chief diet is rice is liable to develop] beri-beri, and the disease is actually, prevalent in some countries due to this very use of polished rice. What Is the reason for the use of polished. rice? It is largely custom,- because | the polished variety looks nicer and probably is more palatable to the' taste. There does not seem to be any other reason for its use except that it is the custom to use it In this country the use of iodine m proper quantity is very effective in the treatment of goitre, yet goitre is still prevalent. One wonders why this is so, and yet it simply means that peo- ple as a rule do not take enough iodine in their food or as a medicine. Iodine Is not palatable and so its use is largely confined to those who have been educated as to its beneficent qualities in the treatment of goitre. Besides, iodine must always be ad- ministered under medical supervision. Progress often experiences unex- pected difficulties, as is evidenced in such cases as have already been men- tioned. There are many others that one may think of, but In every case the remedy is the same, and that is education of the public. Coercion fails to bring the desired results in a counti7 accustomed to democracy. Education seems to be the most prom- ising measure of defence against hid- den dangers. It is usually a slow process in which the educator needs constant encouragement and support lest he waver from sheer weariness or despair. Medical history affords elo- quent testimony of this.

Among modem engineering (eats the building of the great dam of Tlrso. Sardinia, opened recently by the King of Italy, ranks as one of the most Im- IKMing. The second largest dam In the world It 1« 722ft. long and over 200rt In height, the artificial lake formed by It containing 30,000 million gallons. The biggest of all dams Is that at Assuan, In Egypt, where, after years of failure, a great wall, nearly a mile and a quarter long, was built acroEis the Nile by a Brlllsh firm at a cost of |10,0O0,OO<l. The building of this wall created a mighty lake neaj-ly 200 miles In length, containing 10,000,000 million cubic feet of water, which Is employed for Irrigation purposes, converting in- to rich soil land that was formerly use' lais. In the United Kingdom the best- known dam is that forming Lake Vyrnwy, North Wales, which covers what, up to a few years ago, was a beautiful valley containing several vil- lages and hamlets. The need for storing water for use in certain big industrial centres of the North of England resulted in the con- version of the peaceful valley into a vast sheet of water, haviLg aa area of over a thousand teres and a ca- pacity exceeding 12,000 million gal- lons. Considering the enormous pressure Imposed upon them, it is astonlfehiag how fe-w dams have failed. One of the worst disasters of the kind occurred near Eplnal, France, where a great dam slipped from its foundations and actually overturned, causiing great loss of life. The exact cause of the catastrophe was never detennlned. Although big dams are being built almost every month, we still know sur- prisingly little about the factors that govern their safety. Departing Glory. The famuui amithy Immortalized by Longfeliow In his poei.i, "The Village Blacksmith," is to be destroyed. The "spreading chestnut tree" diaappeared some years ago. At least, St. Mary Cray, Kent, Eng- ' lead, whos:e smithy is to go tu make room for the Increase of tiathc, Uiscd to pride Itself on being tlie scene of "The Village B:acksniilh." The smithy, befcro the dC'parture of the chestnut-tree, fitted the description at the poem, and Longfellow viiited the Village with Eliza Cook during his second European journey. iiut a generation has arisen which probably prefers the parodies of "The Village Blacksmith" to the poem it-' self, Just as It prefers motors to horse-' flesh, and the old smithy is doomed.

A tree, whose hungry mouth Is preet Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day.

But only God can make a tree." â€" Joyce Kilmer. GUARD BABY'S IIEUTH IN THE SI1.I!MER The summer months axe the most dangerous to children. The com- plaints of that season, which are cholera infantum, colic diarrhoea, and dysentery, come on so quickly that of- ten a little one is beyond aid before the mother realizes he is HI. The mother must be on hex guard to pre- vent these trouble©, or if they do come on suddenly to banish them. No other medicine is of such aid to mothers during hot weather as is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the stomach and bowels and are absolutely safe. Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockvllle, Ont. How the^Spider Brought the Fire. Lucky was it for all the animals that there are spiders that have egg sacs resembling bowls, for otherwise all the creatures of the forest would have had to go without fire. At least so we are assured in a Cherokee myth. Natural History thus tells the pretty story, in which a spider played the part of Prometheus: In the beginning there was no fire, and the world was cold. In time, how- ever, the thunders placed fire in a hol- low tree on an island. The animals gazed enviously at the smoke that curled upward from the concealed bon- fire, knowing that there was warmth there, yet at a loss how to obtain It. So they held a council, and as a result the raven set out on the quest He reached the Island and the tree, but all that he bore back with him as a result of his adventure was scorched and blackened feathers. The little ecreecJi owl next made the trial. He reached the tree, but while he was hesitating what to do next a Ma^it of flery air arose and nearly burned out his eyes, which are red to this day. Otfcer owls tried in their turn, but with no better success. Then the i black snake tried, and to-day he bears i a covering of sooty scales as a badge ' of hia Ineffectual hardihood. j Daunted by the falhire of their fel- lows, the remaining animals managed ' to find the weightiest of reasons for I not venturing to go. Not so the spider \ however. She wove a IftUe tustl-bowl | of her silk and, fastening It to her ' back, set forth on her adventure, i Reaching the Island, she crept through j the grass to the tree and snatched up ' a little ember of fire, which she placed I In her bowl and returned with it to the expectant animals. It Usually Disappears When the Blood is Made Rich and Red. Thin blood is one of the most com- mon causea of stomach trouble. It ' affects the digestion very quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive fluids' are diminished in their activity, the : stomach muscles are weakened and i there is a loss of nerve force. In this ' state of health nothing will more quickly restore the appetite, digestion : and normal nutrition than good, rich, ' red blood. | Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly | on the blood, making it rich and red, I and this enriched blood strengthens weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles and awakens to normal activity the ! glands that supply the digestive fluids, j This is shown by an improved appe- tite, and soon the effect of these blood enriching pills is evident throughout the whole system. Yo-u find that what you eat does not distress you, and that you are vigorous instead of irritable : and listless. If your appetite is fickle, ! if you have any of the distressing pains and symptomS of indigestion, you should at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and profit by the better con- dition in which they will put your blood. These pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brocltville, Ont. She â€" "You can kiss me on either cheek."

" The trickster asks a spectator to shuffle a pack of cards and to select a card, holdins the cards face down so that neither he nor anyone else can see which card he selects. Without looking at the card, he puts it face down In an envelope which the trickster seals. The trickster holds the envelope at arms length and de- clares that, with X-Ray eyes, he will look through the envelope and name the card within. Ha names a card and opens the en- velope to disclose the card he named. The trick la largely In the en- velope. This is prepared, really two envelopes being used. One envelope Is pushed Into the other and the flaps are pasted together. If this is neatly done the envelope will not seem to be prepared. Be- fore the flaps are pasted together, a card is taken from the pack and put In the outer envelope between the second envelope and the front of the first. The selected card goes Into the Inner envelope. The flap is sealed down and most of the trick is done. The trickster names the card he put in the en- velope in the first place and opens the envelope by tearing a hole in the front. While the card is be- ing examined he abaentmindedly puts the torn envelope In his pocket. There he exchanges the torn but prepared envelope for one which is torn but not pre- pared. As all eyes are on the card this will pass unnoticed if done deliberately and «a If thoughtlessly.
