GOSHEN, IND., U.8.A. Abraham Lincoln's Advice [3 "With the approach of Spring, and a revival of business activity following 8 winter characterized by much unemployment and the necessity for the dis- tribution of relief on a large scale by Governments, municipalities and charit- able organizations, the air is filled with rumors of impending strikes and in- dustrial disturbances. The coal miners of Canada and the United States threaten a walk-out to enforce their demand for a six-hour day and a five-day work week, while the engineering and other trades in Great Britain are also resorting to-exireme measures. It would naturally have less thousands engaged in other trades ; been thought that, instead of creating conditions which mean idleness, not only for those going out on strike, but for count- | which are dependent upon a plentiful supply of coal, and instead of striving for less work and employment, the lessons 'of the past year would have taught all men to exert themselves to | create more work in order that, with the employmnt of all and renewed activ- ify, there woud be better times and a larger measure of prosperity for all. However, it would appear that the fallacious teaching of paid agitators, that a reduction in working hours and days below a reasonable limit must {inevitably provide work for a larger number, still influences many of the world's workers. The theory that the world must have a certain quantity of any given article, and that if each individual produces a smaller quantity of it, a larger number must be employed to make up the required total, is a] false theory. "It'is. possible to so enhance the cost of an article as to make it prohibitive, and to so seriously reduce the demand," that; instead of there being any increase in employment-in sueh production, there i decrease. : Again, those whe preach this false doctrine lose Saht of the fact that dapaging | mankind can get along without an amazingly large number of things if cir- cumstances force them to do so. The experiences 'of the war should have been sufficient to thoroughly convince all people of this fact. Last year the coal miners in Great Britain sought to dictate to the whole nation, and in tying up the coal mining industry they not only inflicted enor- mous losses on themselves, but dealt a blow at Britain's position as a great coal exporting country from which it has not yet recovered. Valuable prop- ertiss were so seriously damaged that even yet they have not been restored to their old-time producing capacity, and fewer men are employed. Canada's workers would do well to heed the advice once given by Abra- ham Lincoln, himself a worker and a son of the people. property is desirable; it is a positive good That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, "Property is the fruit of labor; in the world: and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Lincoln said: Let not him who is hopeless pull down the house of another, but let him build one for him- slf, thus assuring, by example, that his own shall when built." be safe from violence The man who gains a competence in this world, or amasses wealth, does not do so by working as little as he possibly can, or by skimping the work he does. The world's workers. rich men are among its most industrious and hardest | Their aim in life is not to accomplish as little constructive, pro-! ductive work as possible in the course of a day, but rather to strive for a maximuni of results. If men who now regard their position as hopeless, and are envious of the success of their fellows, would but follow Lincoln's advice and get busy and exert themselves, not as little as possible, but to the full' extent of their pow- ers, they could quickly establish themselves and make a worthy place for themselves in the world. But they will never get anywhere by simply criticizing what others do and striving to tear down what others have built un. They should change their tactics, and, instead of endeavoring to do as little as possible, and skimping that little, try the plan of exerting all their efforts and endeavoring to achieve a maximum of good work accomplished during the full period of a reascnable long working day. What this old world needs is not more spare time, more sport, more en- tertainment and pleasure, but more work, steady work, coustructive and pro- ductive werk. Prosperous.

U. 1418 Backward Children The Value of Medical Inspection Public Schools in Backward children are not always, perhaps not often, backward because of either mental deficiency or sioth- fulness, says the U.S. Public Health Service. Many of them are back- ward solely because of such ordinary and easily remediable defects as ade- noids, near-sightedness, or bad teeth. A case in point was recently report- ed by the oficial representative of the Public Health Service in the eighth sanitary district of Vermont, in which the service is. co- operating in a rural health work project. Medical inspection of one of the graded schools in October, 1919, show- ed that it had been thought necessary to instruct in a special room sixteen pupils. who had seemed to be unable to keep up with their respective classes. Physical examination show- ed that each of the sixteen had some serious hampering. physical defect (chiefly enlarged tonsils, adenoids, or} defective hearing or eyesight) which, rather than any mental handicap, was the probable cause of their inability. Through the co-operation of the school directors, the facts were brought to the attention of the parents or guardians of the children and all | were set right before the end of the "you'll be thirty when you get out." year. On re-examination of the pupils the next December (1920) it appeared that all of the sixteen previously back- ward "children had caught up with their proper grades and were keeping up in them with their classmates. A vear later, in December; 1921, some of these sixteen children were among the: mental and physical leaders in their grades. : Canada Importing Pure-Bred Stock The importation of high-class pure- bred stock into Canada for breeding purposes, which wag checked during the war, has again assumed consider: able proportions.

Though the United States supplied more animals than the Brit- ish Isles, the breeds represented in the main had a British origin.

But they are especially val- uable in the spring when the system is loaded with impurities as a result of the indoor life of the winter months. There is no other season when the blood is so much in need of purifying and enriching, and every dose of these pills helps to enrich the blood. In the spring one feels weak! and. tired--Dr. Williams' Pink Pills! give strength. In the spring the ap-| petite is often poor--Dr. , Williams' ! Pirk Pills develop the appetite, tone | the stomach and aid weak digestion. it is in the spring that poisons in the blood find an outlet im disfiguring pimples, eruptions and boils--Dr. Williams' Pink Pills clear the skin because they go to the root of the trouble in the blood. In the spring anaemia, rheumatism, indigestion, neuralgia and many other troubles are most persistent because of poor, weak blood, and it is at this time when all nature takes on new 'life that the blood most seriously needs! attention. Some people dose them- selves with purgatives at this season, but these only further weaken them- selves. - A purgative merely gallops through the system, emptying the bowels, but does not help the blood. On : the other hand, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enrich the blood which reaches every nerve and every organ i vigor to weak easily tired men, wo- men and children.

W. Aston, F.R.S., a research fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, in a ser- ies of five lectures at the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. "It may be many years before the energy, which can be produced by charging four hydrogen atoms to one helium atom is released, but from tnat moment either the world will sudden- ly become a new and brilliant star or man will have at his command energy beyond imagination that will make! coal and oil unnecessary. This force, called "atomic energy," is found in hydrogen and revealed by the fact that this gas is the only one of the elements that physicists can- not reduce to an atomic weight that is an integer. The explanation sounds academic, but it means, when trans- lated, that a trip to the moon or any other spot in the universe ceases to be absurd and becomes a possibility, explains Doctor Aston.
