Ontai-jo's Fish and Game The province cannot be too particu- lar about th( enforcement of its game and fishing laws. Both fish and game are of enormou:) importance, and every effort (iue,lu to be made to con- Bervo them. Nothing in he nature of sliughtcr should be allowed, such as baa been the case with partriiige In recent years. Ontario, with its large are.id of natiouil parks, should be a paritdise for game and fish, and the gororament will find that public op- iuk>n will aupptirt it in every effort It makes towards their conservation. â€" Brantford Expositor.

TTie Individual who is losing the tooth or the teeth can with a degree of indifference watch the man at work; can notice tliat he tries one sot of instruments and then another. Can see too when he lifts the offending tooth from tho jaw. The reason for al! this is tl-.e freezing or numbing of the nerves and tissue and all el.-^c in the vicinity of the tooth. The dentist uses novocain. But just what is novocain? We asked the dentist because the name seemed unsatisfactory When one says "onion'' it means something be- cause the object referred to is known; it looks like an onion and tastes like an onion, but novocain is dift'eront. By the way of reply tlie denti.st produced a technical diction- ary, from which the following word was taken to tell just what novocain is Here it is: Paraniidobenzoyldethylaminoethe- nolhydrochlorid.
