Lecturing at Charing Cross Hospital, Hospital, Sir Ronald Ross, discoverer of the life history of malaria parasites parasites in mosquitoes, spoke of his disappointment at the slow progress progress of the fight against malaria. "When I had completed my work in 1SS9, I-had fondly dreamed that a few years would see the almost complete banishment of malaria from the principal towns and cities in the_t.Spies ; that those benign climates 1 ' rand those beautiful scenes woüld be almost rid at once of a -scourge that has blighted them • from time immemorial. In this I have been disappointed. True, much has been done in certain places, as in Panama, Ismailia, Italy, West Africa, and parts of India India and the Malay Straits, and in some other spots; but much more might have been done had we remained remained fully alive t-o our opportunities--and opportunities--and our duties. It is not the fault of science that we do not fully utilize the gifts that she gives to us. None of us here will live to see the fulk^^ition of those gifts in this partraular case ; but we have at least seen, the beginning, and may believe that our children will reap the profit. But it is ever thus with science.

The Trouble is Often Really St. VitiU Danes--Bo Bot Negledt if Many a child, has been called awkward, has- been punished in school for not keeping still or for dropping things, when the trouble was really St. Vitus dance. This disease may appear at any age, bub is most common between the ages of six and fourteen years. It is caused by thin blood which fails to carry sufficient nourishment to the nerves, and the child becomes restless restless and twitching of the muscles and jerking of "the limbs and j body follow. In severe cases the child is unable to hold anything or feed itself. St. Vitus dance is cured by building up the blood. The most successful treatment is to remove the child from all mental excitement, stop school work and give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These Pills renew the blood supply, strengthen the nerves, and restore the child to perfect health. Here is proof of their power to cure. Mrs. Geo. A. MacDonald, Harrington, N. S., says : "My son was attacked by St. Vitus dance ; at the outset his muscles would twitch and his step was weak and jerky. We called in a doctor who treated him, but notwithstanding notwithstanding he continued to grow worse and at last grew -so bad-that he could not hold .a cup in his hand, while his head constantly twitched, and his speech became' rather indistinct. At this juncture I saw in a paper the cure of a boy from similar trouble through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. We at once sent for a supply, and in a few weeks after he began.their use there was considerable improvement, improvement, and it was not long after this before he was completely cured, and has never had a symptom symptom of the trouble since. I am convinced convinced that there is no medicine like Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ^for the cure of St. Vitus dance.

That little men have many advantages advantages in war time over their bigger brothers is an argument advanced in the British Medical Journal. After expressing the view that 30,000 have been lost to the army in thé last few weeks owing to the present height standard, the journal journal says :-- "Not a little is to be said in favor favor of short infantry. Short men occupy less room in transport-. They find cover more easily and offer a smaller mark to the bullets and shrapnel. They are better sheltered sheltered in trenches and require to dig trenches less deep to protect themselves. themselves. "It takes less khaki to clothes them and less leather to boot them. The army blanket covers them more amply, and they need less food than tall, thin men to keep up their body heat and maintain their marching energy. "Those who stand the rigors of cold climates are not always big men, and the sailor, like the windswept windswept tree on the coast, may be a short man. Warmth and easy conditions conditions of life rather tend to the development development of tall men. "The cavalry and artillerymen require require to be big and powerful, butas to those who burrow in the trenches, trenches, how can it matter whether they are 4 feet 9 or 5 feet 6 ?

TIRELESS WARRIORS PROVE TÀEIR . LOYALTY. The Ghoorka Is An Ever-Ready Bundle of Nervea aud Eager v Aggressiveness. "Sahib, the regiment is my father father and mother, but in this matter my honor is concerned, and if I do not get the leave I aék I will desert desert ; the night will find me there," said the East Indian soldier,, point-' ing into the distance whèn his' of-, freer expressed unwillingness to grant the desired furlough. The trooper was a Pathan whose service record was a splendid one, and at last the leave he craved was reluctantly reluctantly allowed him. The officer had consented rather than, force the Indian into insubordination. insubordination. True to his promises, 1 the soldier returned to the post on the very hour. Then it was*that his commander questioned him about the reason for the leave which had been asked for well nigh with a threat. The 'reply was : "Well, Sahib, the matter was thus : My brother was killed by"one of another clan, and on me, as his nearest of kin, the feud developed. Had I failed in my duty 'shame would have been on me, but by the pleasure of Allah that is not so. Our enemy's village now mourns one of its best and bravest." Such are the Patha.89, who constitute a very considerable element of England's native troops in India, although the general public public has heard less of them than of some of the others. Once interested in his soldier work under British leadership the Pathan is intensely loyal, a fighting man that can be counted upon to do battle with all his strength and to the last drop of his blood in the cause of his adoption. Indeed ~ he loves the intoxication of strife, and be is a foe tc be reckoned with until until either dead or physically unable to deal a blow. Somehow in stories of India, the writer of fiction likes to bring in the picturesque Sikh, and for this reason many people have been led to the conclusion that the Indian native army is composed mostly of this race. That is not really the case, but it is a fact that the Sikh is a fighting man of proved quality, and upon more than one battlefield he has won renown and shown amazing dauntlessness in the face of desperate odds. Before British annexation the Sikhs held and ruled the Punjab, and being born soldiers they presented presented a very difficult problem to their alien masters until their admiration admiration was won by the battling superiority of the British, and then they were ready to cast their lot with their quondam foes. Ghoorkas Sociable. While the sikhs and the Dogras and the Path ans give a strikingly ornamental character to the Indian army, Tommy Atkins will tell you that his preference is for the little Ghoorkas, those grim, but humorous humorous soldiers of the Crown who have won many laurels in their native land in the last eighty-odd years. Somehow the smile comes more naturally naturally to the Ghoorka than the frown, but don't mistake his_ cheerfulness cheerfulness for a sign of subserviency or lack of courage. The Ghoorka is one nervous, ever ready bundle of aggressiveness. It would be hard to imagine more fighting spirit spirit to the ounce that has been crowded crowded into the muscular bodies of these born warriors. They are a sturdy lot, hardened by hill climbing in the land of their birth," Nepaul, the mountain king- doyi resting on the southern slope of the Himalayas at the north-east corner of India. They are fortunately fortunately not hampered by caste prejudices prejudices and will sit down in camp with white troops and eat and drink with them without ceremony. There was the time when the Ghoorkas were Great Britain's liveliest liveliest and most troublesome foe. A hundred years ago the English had the Ghoorkas war on their hands, and for two years the military authorities authorities had a troublesome problem problem to deal with. The conflict grew out of encroachments on British British territory by these aggressive hillmen. Like Close Fighting. In the early stages of the war the Ghoorkas "not only held Lhe English troops in check but defeated them decisively upon a number of occasions. occasions. Following one of these, fights, several of the Ghôorkas wandered wandered into the British camp without without guns and asked to have their wounds dressed, saying that they thought the English doctors would be able to make them quickly fit for the-^ next, fight. , jn the end these battling children of the soil were beaten and cornered, cornered, and after that they became lasting lasting friends and allies of the English.

It is said that since then, now ninety-eight years, "no battle or expedition of importance has been without its battalions of green- coated little rifle-men with . their deadly kukris in their belts."

But long range, fighting is not quite to their liking; they love the intoxication intoxication of à han<Lto-hand struggle, and their work with the bayonet and the knife is enough to chill the blood of any but the most courageous courageous of antagonists. A bayonet in their hands becomes a doubly dangerous dangerous weapon, arid in close fighting fighting they excel. ■ ' Joints toll lii NO MORE STIFFNESS, PAIN OR MISERY Ih| YOUR BACK OR SIDÈ OR LIMBS!

The Giornale d' Italia publishes an article entitled "British soldiers keep smiling," by Signor Diego An- geli, one of the best-known translators translators of Shakespeare. The author says that the whole psychology of the British soldier is summed up in the exclamation of the father who, his sons having died fighting, simply said, "They died like gentlemen. gentlemen. " Signor Angeli especially emphasizes emphasizes the cleanliness of Britishers, which, he says, is but a reflection of their moral cleanliness,'!made up of simplicity and loyalty, qualities which are powerful factors making for courage and victory. The repulse repulse of the Germans from the gates of Paris was due to these soldiers, who opened the attack arid compelled compelled the Prussians 'to retreat, so that "Field-Marshal French's contemptible contemptible little army" avenged themselves themselves by sweeping the Kaiser's generals generals from the field. Signor Angeli gives several anecdotes to show the calmness in danger and coolness in daring of the British. The writer concludes by relating that one day a whole regiment shouted to their comrades in some distant trenches : "Are We downhearted downhearted ?" A pause ensued, then a bloody spectre raised himself from a trench, shouted "No!" with his last breath, and fell back dead. "English heroism is summed up in this incident," says Signor Angeli.

A woman writes, and her letter is condensed to give the facts in a short space : "I was a coffee slave, arid stuck to it like a toper to his 'cups,' notwithstanding notwithstanding I frequently had severe severe attacks of sick headache ; then I used more coffee to relieve the headache, and this was well enough until the coffee effect wore .off. (The effects on the system of tea and coffee coffee drinking are very similar, because because they each contain the drug, caffeine.) "Finally attacks of rheumatism began to appear, and ultimately the whole nervous system began to break down and I was fast becoming becoming a wreck. "After a time I was induced to quit coffee and take up Postum. This was- half a year ago. The result result has been most satisfactory.

"They can't stand the bayonet !" That has been said of the Germans Germans after every engagement. To their credit it may be added that they, face the -most withering rifle fire and machine gun fire, but when Tommy and his French comrades comrades get the order to charge with fixed bayonets the .German- soldiers break and flee, says a writer in The New York Press. Despite the great increase both in range and deadliness of guns and rifles, the bayonet is still the final factor in deciding a big battle. British army authorities have always always recognized that, and instruction instruction in how to use the bayonet has. always been an important part of the training of English soldiers. So important is bayonet fighting regarded, in fact, that British soldiers soldiers are taught it practically individually individually instead of in numbers, as in other parts of their training. Each bayonet instructor, in fact, only trains four pupils at a time, so that he can clearly see and point out the weakness of each man. When the "Tommy" begins to learn the various parries against an imaginary foe, dummy rifles with ordinary bayonets are used ; but when he "takes on" his instructor a spring bayonet is fixed to his rifle. These bayonets have broad buttons on the end of them, and recoil at once when they hit. The instructor and his pupil are, of course, well protected with masks, padded jackets jackets and gloves in case of accidents. Fights Padded Jacket. "Tommy's" first foe is a padded jacket hung on a wall, and the movement learned from it is officially officially known as the "Engage" or "On guard." This position is one in which the soldier is ready for any emergency, to thrust or parry, to jump forward or back.. By it, too, he is taught always to keep his bayonet bayonet directed at the chest of his foe. With this first instruction "Tommy" "Tommy" is. also taught another absolutely absolutely vital point in bayonet fighting fighting : That is, that his whole safety depends on keeping his -opponent outside his bayonet point, for once the enemy gets "inside" the bayonet bayonet the soldier is more or less helpless. helpless. , In bayonet fighting, in fact, the whole of the rifle is. kept in front of the body, and the soldier never draws his rifle-back before making a thrust. Thesé points are emphasized" in the training, the rifle being "thrown out" to the full extent of the arm, the feet not being moved from the "engage" position. The next step is training to avoid or parry this "throw point," as it is called. It is usually miidtie at a man's chest, and iis parried from the "engage" position by moving the rifle to the right or left, thus pushing pushing the attacker's bayonet away to one side or the other. When the thrust is made Law, however, the rifle is turned down, the bayonet- being slightly imbedded in the ground. The Best Attack. By far the/most effective form of attack is that of the "low point," as it is called. To deliver this attack attack the soldier drops down on his left hand, or on his left knee, and delivers the "throw point" in an upward direction. This attack is parried in the same way as the "throw point." In addition to learning the above ways of attack and defence, the soldier soldier is also taught the "beat," that is to say, the way of knocking down an enemy's guard, by giving his rifle a smart hit with his own weapon. weapon. It--requires considerable practice, however; to train recruits to use the bayonet quickly, and quickness is taught by a machine. A square frame of wood about 10 feet high has running down its center center a wire on which are threaded a number of balls of thickly woven straw. A mechanical device releases releases these straw b^lls in succès-' sion from the top of the wire, and as they pass tfye recruit has to stab each one with a quick movement, withdrawing the bayonet in time to stab the one following closely behind. behind. The advantage of this machine is that it not only teaches the soldier quick, and accurate bayonet work, but it develops the wrist muscles necessary to withdraw the bayonet after it has completed its deadly work.
