= re a i ae DE RSDAY I DGS) 3rd,a0kos 1 The Game of Chess In this and subsequent articles, an attempt will be made to inter- est and explain to the reader the Game of Chess. It is suggested that these articles be preserved for reference. The game is pop- ularly supposed to be too compli- cated for study, belief being led to this theory by the comparat- ively few people who play. On the other hand, it is without doubt the most absorbing indoor pastime, affording many hours of pleasure in the long winter even- ings. Indeed, it is safe to say that once the principles and ideas of the game are mastered, that infinite enjoyment will be found in the play of the pieces, and the ultimate object, i.e., to checkmate the King. The student must be patient; you cannot expect to play a good game of chess in a month or two. If he has the opportunity he will save himself months of time and an unspeakable amount of trouble by inducing some one acquainted with the game to teach him the names, the movements, and the powers for capture and defence of the chess-men. Any member of the Haileybury Chess Club is Teady with assistance for the student. It is essential, of course, that a chess board and pieces be pur- chased. A good set of men can be bought for $2.50 or so, and they may be obtained through Mr. A. MacLean. The board is exactly the same as a checker board, and should be 18" square. It is play- ed on this board of sixty-four squares by two people. (Consul- tation games between two or more players opposed to an equal number are also played, but it is unnecessary to explain this here.) The Board With these preliminary ess.

The success which has been achieved in controlling certain diseases is not the result of chance. It has come about as the result of our having acquired en- ough knowledge about these par- ticular diseases to enable us to overcome them to some extent. In the same* way, personal health and freedom from disease come to us when we make use of the knowledge which we now possess. Smallpox is non-exist- ent when vaccination is practised. Rickets disappear as the result of proper feeding. Pure water and safe milk prevent the occurrence of typhoid fever. You should know that each year, in Canada, over eight thous- and persons die from tuberculosis You should know that when it is discovered early and_ properly treated, tuberculosis is one of the most curable diseases. Knowing these two statements to be correct, you are then in a position to say that the large number of deaths must be due to failure in discovering the disease in its early stages, or that the treated. low our advice and have family physician an opportunity GRANT FLEMING, M.D. ~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY cases are not being properly Those of our readers who fol- health examinations each year give their OF THE Medical Association Edited*by ibe discover tuberculosis, cancer and other diseases in their earl- jiest and most curable stage. It is not possible to teach the public how to detect disease early. It is much more diffieult to make a diagnosis in the early stage of a disease than it is later on. The general idea of a tuber- culous person is one who is thin, looks ill and has a cough. This is the usual condition when the disease is advanced, but in the early stages, the patient appears to be well, and nothing in his general appearance arouses sus- pician. Not everyone with the follow- ing symptoms has tuberculosis, but the presence of one or more of them is sufficient to arouse suspician, and to send the individ- ual to his doctor to find out the cause. A feeling of fatigue from work which did not previously cause fatigue. Loss.of strength or weight, which may be accompan- ied by a general feeling of not being well. Ang cough which persists fora month or more. Continued upset of digestion, which may be as- sociated with a cough. Spitting of blood. It is better to be on the safe side. Prompt attention to early symptoms means early treatment if it is needed, and early treat- ment means cure, Questions concerning Healrh, addressed to the Canadian Medical Association, 184 College Street, Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. if' the pieces their proper squares.

Observe that it must be so placed that each of the two contending players has a white square on the right hand. | The horizontal lines of the board are known as "ranks", the vertical lines as "files". Thus, White's King "file", and Black's "fourth" rank. ' The men, for distinction sake, are of different color on the one sidé to those on the other, and in describing their movements it is customary to speak of the com- batants as "White" and "Black", even though some "Black" men may be "red" in color. The Pieces As the board appears above, be- ginning at the bottom left hand corner, and proceeding along white's first rank, the names of the pieces are: Rook, Knight, Bishop, Queen, King, Bishop, Knight, Rook; and on White's second rank are the eight pawns. The pieces to the right of the King are designated as King's Bishop, King's Knight and King's Rook. Those to the left of the Queen, thé Queen's Bishop, Queen's Knight and Queen's Rook. Similarly with Black's men. At the top left hand corner, along the first rank, the pieces are named exactly as forithe White men and in the same order. On the second Black rank (White's 7th rank) are the eight Pawns. The Pawns are further identi- fied as King's or Queen's, the Pawn in front of the King being the King's Pawn,that in front of the King's Bishop being the King's Bishop's Pawn, that in front of the King's Knight, being the King's Knight's Pawn, and that in front of the King's Rook being the King's Rook's Pawn. In this same way, the Pawns in front of the pieces on the Queen's side are similarly described. Note that in setting up the men that the White Queen ALWAYS occupies the white spuare to the LEFT of the King, and the Black Queen 'the black square to the RIGHT of the King, as each play- er sets the pieces up in front of him. In other words, place the Queen on her own color. The . Queens and Kings therefore, face A atk wanted you to fit the bath." PLUMBER: "There now! saying to each other 'ow funny it where!"

It is his privilege to make his dollar produce the utmost in value. The decision as to where that value is to be found is, whether right or wrong, his to make. A tip on how to make a dollar go farther is permissable, however, and we suggest that you think 'about this: The lowest price does not always mean the best | ~ buy; in fact in most cases it does not. Compara- || } tive quality and many other things enter into the =| transaction. But let us take two identical articles tall --one here--at home--the other out of town.) Let us suppose the out of town price is lower delivered | to your door, by 5c or 75c, than the purchase you tal can make at home. But it is not the most econo- BI mical buy. That money is gone for good; it will z| ! never return to you, whereas if spent at home-- well, here's an illustration: A Shoeman owes a Baker $2.00 and gives him $1.00, discharging fifty per cent. of his debt. The baker owes a farmer $2.00 for potatoes, so he pays the farmer half his debt with the dollar. The farmer purchases a pair of $2.00 shoes, paying $1.00 down.- The shoeman uses the dollar to cancel his debt to the baker, the baker to the farmer, and the farmer pays for his shoes. The shoeman has paid his debt, made a sale and still has his original capital. So have the baker and farmer. That's community business. Three persons have made a profit on $1.00 and it's still in the community to make more. The dollar that goes farthest is the one that stays at home.
