We jeered jeered at the blockade, but to-day we laugh no longer. The sinister aspect of things certainly provides no, food for laughter.--Frankfurter; Zeitung. There has been a noticeable weakening weakening of official denials, tliat a shortage shortage of food existed in Germany. It was said that there was food enough, but that distribution was faulty. Now the statement is made that prices are being raised in order to enforce economy,'a economy,'a cruel and incredible interpretation interpretation of events. But beyond official utterances, in the journals which come to this country some indication of the true -crisis is seen. The Editor Talks The Madgeburgër Zeitung, the paper paper quoted above, Zukunft, Vorwaerts and the journals of every metropolitan metropolitan centre, confirm the truth that the situation at home is so grave that it invalidates the extraordinary successes successes of German arms in the field. Further it is reported that "prices are much higher in Hungary than in Germany," and the Leipzig. Volks- zeitung protests the reality of England's England's blockade and asserts that x the Government does not protect civilians civilians from speculators. Everyone learns by doing. A child learn much the first five years of its life and how ? v Certainly by doing.. Imitàtion if you like.; That is doing as hé sees others doing. The teacher fails who 'helps his" scholars at school to much ; the parent likewise fails who helps the child too much at home. It is most regrettably true that mothers are the greatest sinners in this respect .with their, daughters. We have in mind one mother who has raised five daug- ters and has been literally and actually a slave for every one of them and is now the maid-of-all-work in the home, while, the daughters when at home are all ladies. Our observation teaches üs that this is ,no_ exceptional case. In our honest opinion not one mother in ten does her proper duty by her daughters that is, she does not take life com- crisis, the result being that a continual continual stream of students left, so that by the end of the session nearly 500 un- ?s in of 9 th th ° i elfare °J °- h H 3 m"d!" them, then education. t ... front We drawn froJ the sa.

One is that the Government, Government, . obviously working for a decisive victory, is giving every atom of food energy to thë soldiers of its own and allied armies, and that such a situation, even on a small scale, must work hardship.for civilians. The second is that Germany's dependents in active service are so many, are scattered over so wide and so unproductive unproductive an area that even without the blockade she would be pressed beyond endurance to maintain a war of attrition against her enemies.

Slemon; B.A. The text-book page fades small and dim, The classroom walls grow close around, The call to Learning dies within, Its voice as if it ne'er had been; The wçrld vibrates with sound. The air is filled with noise of war, The student's soul responsive springs, To give his brain, his brawn, his life, To do his bit, in the awful strife, The Huns' deep rancour brings. His books, his gown, he casts aside His father's plans he argues vain, His sweetheart's sighs, his mother's tears; "Enlist, Enlist," is all he hears, His fighting instincts reign. The crowded transport bears him far, He joins with steel, and fire, and shell, To crush the frenzied Prussians' pride, And give to all, by them denied) Free homes, uncursed of hell. There, hid ih dug-out's dingy maze, Beside his masked, all-shattering gun, He hurls blind death and deathless woe, 'Gainst mankind's mad, insensate foe. Till victory is won. Not there alone the storm and strife, Midst cannon's roar, apd victors' cheer; But in the watch of solitude, In hearts engloomed in saddest mood, Through boundless nights of fear. For not a shot flies blind with death, And not a stab of steel is pressed, But hearts at home grow chill and cold, 1 . ] With torturing doubts and pains untold, untold, .

All young mothers may well profit by this advice. ***** Parents, nurses and teachers should, ! too, pay constant and strict regard to cleanliness, instructing earliest lessons as soon as the child can be given orders orders in a way that it can understand. Health and hygiene are meaningless to a young child, but to teach them the simple law of clean hands and face, clean clothes and combed hair is very easy.

This being conceded, then every act that conduces to wholesome conditions should be taught and insisted insisted upon. Every parent and guardian guardian of the young should make right sanitary conditions and right hygiene laws, and make it a personal duty to see that they are observed. Early attention attention in every home to these things is most desirable 'to impress upon the students the meaning of the war and the necessity of their preparing themselves for serving serving their country in the pressing war NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN ever receive the proper balance of food to sufficiently nourish both body and brain during the growing period when nature's demands are greater than in mature life. This is shown in so many pale faces, lean bodies, frequent colds, and lack of ambition. For all such children we say with unmistakable earnestness : They need Scott's Emulsion, and need it how. It possesses in concentrated form the very food elements, to enrich their blood. It changes weakness to strength; it make* them sturdy and strong and active. .- Scott & Bewne, Toronto, Otib As we intimated in a former "talk!" we should constantly think of the health of others. If we are most careful careful to observe every rule of health we can consistantly talk to our neighbors, friends, fellow shop hands or comrades about such matters. By avoiding un- hygenic practices that would impair public health, if they became general, we can make a contribution to the wholesomeness, prosperity and power of the country in which we dwell. The spread of disease should be a prohibition prohibition to be severely enforced. Laws against spitting indiscriminately should be far more stringently enforced enforced than they are. Our observation is that such laws are far oftener honored in the breach than in observance. Medical Medical authorities tell us that the person suffering from tuberculosis or even from a "heavy cold" who spits without restraint is our offender against sçciety. The germs discharged in public public places or even on the street to be' carried in the dust may surely bring death to others. If children are taught the danger of this early in life they may by care avoid association with suspected victims and exercise care in travelling about. Epidemics are caused no doubt by spread of germs in some" way or another. ***** Just now when influenza is so prevalent prevalent people should avoid studiously inhaling other persons breath. The clerk behind the counter can hardly avoid the. breath of the customer on the. other side, but care should be observed observed to do so if possible without being discourteous. It is no secret that infectious diseases are communicated among children at school in their games from inhaling the breath laden with germs. Epidemics of typhoid, j septic sore throat and other virulent ; diseases originate through personal disregard of hygenic laws, or careless association. No vicious intent was evér dreamed of, but this does not ! help the persons who are sufferers. In ; like - manner it does not lighten the ( burden on a community whose citizens are unhygenically careless. Legislation Legislation has done, much to save the people from such epidemics through antispitting antispitting ordinances and education through the press, in the schools, by lectures and otherwise, but constant reiteration of the dangers and of precautionary precautionary methods are necessary.

Here let us say from per- i sonal experience that teachers cannot ' satisfactorily succeed in this under- j taking without the constant help and j assistance of parents or guardians, we must say here that parents are ! more to blame than children in many ! cases we have known. How can a child ( be taught the true significance of bells ! when one excuse does duty to-day, and 1 another is accepted to-morrow? It is truly astonishing how early in life children learn to conjure up excuses, and effective pleas for violation of some parental rule or law. Be assured assured that the true way to profit by the bells of school and of the world, is to be ready for them, for the bells of the ( world take no excuses. ***** The National Anthem is never sung at the close of a concert or other assemblage assemblage that some persons do not take the first note of the pianist or organist as a signal for "getting ready to shoot"--out of the audience room. Such persons seem to be ignorant ignorant of the spirit of respect and loyalty to his Majesty the King. If they do not care to take a personal part in the singing the proper act is to stand with the proper respect while it is being sung. Canadians, just now, while this cruel war continues, should sing the National Anthem much more frequently than most of them do. In some churches we have observed the good Old Country custom is followed when "God Save the King" is sung-- the organist strikes the chord, choir and congregation rise at once to sing. Surely the tune need not bè played over on the organ while the people retain retain their seats. Britishers Avould certainly certainly feel very much out of place "and | form to, sit still within sound of tune | that brings every Briton promptly to his feet. Further, if the rule of playing playing over the tune is followed, there are pretty sure to besome persons present present who are not accustomed to this plan and would make themselves awkwardly awkwardly conspicuous by standing, while others in the audience remained sitting. sitting.
