Even yot there 1s a good deal of superstition. . The speaker had re- cently met a gentleman of apparent- ly good education who carried a seed potato in either pocket as a preven- tive of gout. The brass plates which hang on the harness of some horses, used formerly to bear the image of saints as a' protection against the evil eye. Throughout history man- kind has feared death and greatly desired life. Because of this intense desire, men have sought for the phil- osopher's stone, the elixir of lite and other magic means of prolonging ex- istence. In Roman times there was an enemy monarch named Mithradates who was so successful in outwitting the expeditions which the Romans organized for his assassination that the legend became established that he held a secret remedy which made him proot against poison. When his kingdom was overthrown the Ro- mans made careful search in his libraries for the formula, but found nothing. Despite this the patent medicine factories of Rome were soon advertising "Mithradatum," guaranteed to cure against all poison or money refunded to the heirs. Later came Venice Treacle, a won- derful remedy for plague, which was used until about fitty years ago. This was extremely expensive, and the guilds which grew rich by its manu- facture held special ceremonies when its ingredients were being mixed at special seasons of the year. There were highly-priced stones such as the Toad stone and another rarely found in the intestine of goats in Persia. As only one such stone was found in about eight thousand 80Ats it was very valuable and was given as presents by royalty. It, too, was an antidote for poison when rub- bed on the head and stomach. A king wishing to test the efficacy of a stone, administered poison to one of his cooks and watched the remedy applied by the physician. The cook died in spite of the treatment. So prized were 4hese stones that there Were many imitations on the market and a druggist was punished by Queen Elizabeth for having more of these In his possession than could have been produced in two hundred years. * Dried and powdered mummy was long regarded with popular favor as a remedy against plague. We owé many of our art treasures to the desire to secure divine inter- vention in epidemics. Many of the old Italian Paintings of Madonnas and some altar pieces were first made to be carried in procession through plague stricken cities. H---- Patent Medicines. Patent medicines exist in countless thousands. In Great Britain the government tax on these recently pounds in one year, meaning that people had spent themselves---enough to have kept all the doctors fn the land in affluence. The speaker divided patent or pro- prietary medicines into groups. There were those which are elegant- ly prepared, pleasant to take and useful for the diseases for which they are prepared. These contain the drugs which are commonly used by physicians for the same diseases. There is the group containing drugs whose use has been abandoned by the medical profession as they con- tain no active principle. Such a remedy for instance as sardaparilla which has not the slightest medicinal value, but a very catchy name. In this class are the tablets and pills which contain nothing but sugar or Some harmless and inoffensive com. pound, which are sold at Big prices to the gullible. And lastly there are the dangerous médicines which do a vast amount 6f harm annually. These include remedies which Carry oo- caine and other habit forming drugs. These should be forbidden by law. So should the remedies which con- of aleohol. ee - THE DAILY BRITISH WHI ied by the club fans will go to Belle- ville on Tuesday afternoon to play the Kiwanis Club of that town. GAVE ADDRESS BEFORE. URBAN TRUSTEES of Kingston Spoke on "The 8chool and Citizenship." At the Ontario Educational Asso- ciation convention in Toronto, on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. J. G. EI- liott, Kingston, spoke before the Urban trustees on "The School and Citizenship. He sald because of her geographical extent and brief history, some of the ties which weld an aggregation of peoples into & nation are lacking in Canada. It is therefore exceedingly necessary that patriotism be taught' through the chureh,™ press, platform and school, Through the teaching ot patriotism to a child the home and parents are reached in a way which would be possible in no' other way. Unfortunately in our schools the study of civies is now largely inci- dental to the study of history. As ga result the pupil has often a clearer idea of the organization and pow- ers of a Saxon council than of his own city .council. He may know how Charles I collected ship money and not know how taxes are col- lected in Canada. And as only twenty-three ber cent. of our child- ren advance beyond the public school it is important that the rudi- ments of civies should be made in- telligible to those in the primary school. A graded course should be out- Uned throughout our whole school system. It should be taught sepa- rately from history and emphasized more than at present, though with a due sense of proportion, From the first a Sympathetic attitude should be developed towards the government and public administra- tion. The beginner learns about those members of the government whom he sees and knows ,the police- man-----not as a bug bear and to have children regard him with fear, sus- picion or ridicule, but as a public servant and a friend--fireman, post- man, street cleaner and so on. From these the expanding intelligence and widening experience of the child ad- vances to the school board and city or town council and the various offi- clals upon whom the conduct of the -.

Moreover, childfen may be enlisted in active public service, not only in the pro- tecting of property from childish de- predations but in planting flowers and shrubs and keeping the streets clean of papers and rubbish. As the horizon of political Enow- ledge broadens the next advance is to the provincial legislature and the House of Commons. Older boys and girls can receive lessons on the fran- ¢hise and the dangers of bad govern- ment. At election timer 4 e'children should be givén an. opportunity to learn to vote, elections being held in the schools at the same time as their fathers and mothers are voting at the polls, : While such knowledge fs impor- tant, the vital thing is an awakened sense of public duty.

The subject must be humanized, it must be made viéal by local illus- |/ tration and the personal relation and responsibility. always made clear. When citizenship is thus brought in close touch with the pupil's life he is not only informed with facts but his personal life is touched and the pure flame of patriotism nour- ished. The machinery of the state, con- ¢luded Mr. Elliott, does not always run smoathly or efficiently. Our laws are not ail wise, and those that are just are sometimes ddministereq with indifferent justice. The rela- tions between capital and labor are 80 far from settled that they comsti- tute the severest strains upon our social unity. In spite of the influ. en ------ ences of many good homes, of the school, the church and the state we are unable to control erime efféectu- ally, elthér at its origin or its frui- tion. We have a large and increas- ing amount of serious ¢rime. State education has not yet eliminated ig- nhorance nor the church unrighteous- ness. But while this is true, it does hot mean that social and political control can not keep pace with the tremendous advance Canada is mak- Ing in the control of its material possibilities. It only shows the seri- Ous nature of the problems of citi- tenship waiting for solution. Let us in the press, the platform, the school and the church tackle the work and secure results. LOCAL TALENT PRESENT A SPLENDID PLAY "Peg 0' My Heart" Delighted . Audience at the Grand Opera House. The members of the Hotel Dieu Nurses' Alumnae are to be congratu- lated on the excellent manner in which "Peg O' My Heart," was pre- sented at the Grand Opera House on Monday evening. Charles Gates, the director, and the membéFs of the cast, played their parts to the entire satisfaction of all present. It was the general opinion of all who attended the show, that it was with- out doubt one of the hest amateur performances presented in Kingston in some time. Miss Mary Gratton, who took the role of "Margaret 'O'Donnell,' was the outstanding member of the cast. Heér acting was very fine, though she had more than any of the other members of the company to do, she carried on as though she had been on the stage for years. Arthur G. Self, as "Alaric Clu- chester," was exceptionally good in his impersonation of an English lord, and kept the audience in laughter with his funny sayings. Mr. Charles Woodhouse, of Mikado tame, took the leading man's part, as Jerry, to perfection, and showed that he is an actor of considerable ability. "Ed" Cousins, as Hawkes, the lawyer, handled his part very INTERESTING DEBATE HELD AT Y.m.0.A. Question of Insurance Formed the Topic for Dis~ cussion. At the weekly meeting of the Y's Men's Club, held at the Y.M.C.A. on Monday evening, the programme took the form of a debate between Donald Roughton and B. G. Rob- ertson. Mr. Robertson took the af- firmative on the subject, "Resolved that straight life insurance surpas- ses all others." Mr. Robertson, during the course of the fifteen minutes at his dispo- sal, brought forward a strong argu- ment that straight life insurance was the better proposition. Mr. Roughton, who took the nega- tive side, tried to convince his hear- ers that long term endowment was better for the man taking out the insurance. No judges were appoint- ed, and for that reason no decision was given. . During the early part of the pro- and al-| gramme, an orchestra, composed of Ernest Madrand, Lloyd Davis and Donald Roughton, furnished music; which was very much jappreciated. The "sing-song" was very much en- joyed. Harry Underwood, who re- cently entered the employment of the firm of John Laidlaw & Sons, Ltd., favored with a solo, The club decided to make formal application for a chartér, and about sixteen of the members signed the application form.
