My appe- iite was poor and my digestion was #0 bad I could hardly retain my food. Nothing agreéd with me; in fact I was almost a confirmed dyspeptic. My whole system seemed to be out of shape. I would have pains across the small of my back so bad at timgs I could hardly move around. "My nerves were all unstrung and 1 would become upset at the least little thing.

My digestion now is per- fect and regardless of what 1 eat | never suffer any bad after effects, "The pains across my back have | entirely disappeared.' The catarrh has left me, too, and my head is per- * fectly clear. 1 am no longer nervous and rest well every might."

"Yes, an amendment to the national constitution allowing women to vote. The way it is now the men do all the voting. For a long time, only men with a certain amount of property could vote. People thought, you see, that the persons who paid the taxes should do the voting. In some places also only those men who could read and write could vote. In a number of states even now a man must have a certain amount of education in order to vote. "Little by little though, the property ualifications for voting, as they called oy were done away with and every man over 21 years of age was allowed to vote.

The weather is generally all right for baseball in April so if the league started the middle of April it could continue for about six weeks to the 'end of May or June and a double every Monday, Wednesday and Friday after school. Schedule could be played (ile each team play each of the other teams twice) which I think would be fair to all'and provide more sport.

N. W, Daylight Saving; Its Good and Bad Points. The good of it is, a certain class of sports will have the benefit of it, but as a mass, people are 'deprived of the most healthy and comvenient there- of. Hygiene is taught to us in school, the teachers explain how. much fresh, alr is necessary to keep the body and lungs in good health.How much bet- . ter it is to learn in the morning air our school lessons after our brains have had their rest. But how can a nation produce healthy and husky people if 'a cgrtain class, just for the lust of sport, deprives the people of the most necessary health builder ot all, fresh air? How can it bg fresh air after so much traffic has stirred up the dust and with it the germs which are within it? How can it be fresh air after the burning sun has burnt up. all freshness 'out of it? And who will go to see a baseball match or other games when he comes from school or work, first a fresh wash, changing clothes and then is supper time, and, after supper it is too dark any way for some sport. People would rather make themselves com- fortable on the lake shore or, other places for the rest of the evening un- tl bedtime. Now daylight saving means go to bed in- broad daylight when it is too hot to sleep for any person and ip them. rning waren the hot air is getting so cool to allow the body some sleep we have to get up more tired than in the evening. Now what about our dear mothers, is it not necessary for them to have an hour's fresh sleep after being on their feet all day, up and down stairs, cooking our meals, washing and all other things," to keep the house in good condition. And now in the high cost of living doesn't she have to show a lot 'of economy in mending clothes to make them last longer? They must all be considered.

Look at t often--every time you get a chance. Then when you-have to estimate a distance" lay off with your eye a series of hundred yard lengths between you and the object to which you are meas- uring--just as though you were meas- uring t with a yardstick. ; ou want to remember though that as your hundred yard lengths get far- ther away from you tRey will seem shorter. So take this into account when you are measuring. After you have made your estimate stride off the dis- tance and see how rear you guessed. Do you know what your stride is?" "I don't know," said Billy, who had no idea what his uncle meant by "stride." "Well, find out. Get somebody to help you measure off a mile. en walk that mile several times. Try to make your steps all of even length. Count the number of steps you take to the mile each time. From the aver- age ybu. can figure out thow many strides you take to a hundred yards. hy 4Then when you measure a distance jus' stride it off and you have it. "If you ever have to draw any ma; ou will find that a knowledge of th: ength of your stride is the first thin you wifl have to get. A lot of men in the old regular army got the matter down to such wu fine t that they could make very accurate maps with no other means of measuring than their 'strides' You have to work at it for a long time though before you can get it with any degree of accuracy."

One point which we and our par- ents would like to see corrected is the continually changing of the text books, which is a hardship on those of limited means and also confuses the pupils to a certain extent. Then again I consider that the programme of studies could be simplified so that the janiors could be taught the rudi- ments of learning more thoroughly. For instance the teaching of the Eng- lish grammar should be taught at first by oval means, correcting any errors of speech or writing as soon as they were detected leaving the more complex rules until the pupils reach the higher forms. Then in regard to Manual Train- ing I think that it could be dispensed with in the public school as it is only a waste of time and money. Thad mo- ney could be put to a better' n- tage by providing suitable oplay- grounds with the necessary means of recreation of exercising our muscles instead of driving us out on the bare grounds to air ourselves. I think I have said enough this time and hope that my remarks may bear fruit. : Respectfully yours, TOM GRAHXN, Victoria School, age 12. HAD MADE HEADWAY, Fire Destroys Residence; Occupants *.
