In a conservation congress held in the South one man made the point that it is better to get the great idea of conservation, or what andther called the principle of salvation, into people's minds than to teach them all the methods of conservations extant, Plans are merely the product of a purpose, Methods are the output of motive.

CHILDREN HAD WHOOPING COUGH Whooping cough, although spee- | ially a disease of childhood, is by no means confined to that period, but may occur at any time of life. It is one of the most dangerous diseases of infancy, and yearly causes more deaths than scarlet fever, typhoid or diphtheria, and is more common in female than male children, Whoeping cough starts with sneezing, watering of the eyes, irrita- tion of the throat, feverishness and cough. The coughing attacks occur frequently, but are generally more severe at night. On the first sign of a "whoop" Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup should be administered, as it helps to clear the bronchial tubes of the collected mucous and phlegm. Mrs. George Cooper, Bloomfield, Ont,, writes: "It is with pleasure I can write and tell you that there never was a better cough medicine made than Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. Our children had whooping cough last winter, and that is the only thing that seemed to help them. It loosens up the phlegm so that they could raise it easily. I will never be without it."

That is why the Jews were so often tempt- | ed to stray from Jehovah. A man is glad to cloak*the indulgence of his | frailties under the cover of some re-| ligion, The popularity of all sorts of cults in our own time is to be explained in this same way. Their moral obliga- tions are not rigid and exacting. They profess scorn of the old legal- ism of the Mosaic law. 'Natural re- ligion," is a veritable high-brow fad in our times, It is an easy creed. It will let a man indulge his selfishness to any extent, so long ase he is mind- ful to burn incense to the goddess of Good Form. Be polite and one] tional, and! you may do whatever you please within these wide bounds, says natural religion, which deifies the worst as well as the best of man's nature, Ll } Leaders, Real and Sham, Sir Robertson Nicoll, the great British editor and critic, once gave me his impression of certain public men on this side of the water, Con- cerning one famous man he said that "He manages to keep just a step in front of the crowd, and he is ever looking back over his shoulder to see if they are following."

A man was speaking upon the pos- sibilities of Mesopotamia's cotton crop, but he took it for granted that his hearers were more familiar with geography than was the case, so he was surprised when a friend said to him, "A man was telling me about your speech upon the possibilities of cokton in China."
