After taking measurements of the height of women in France, England, and America. a doctor announces that the Englishwoman is the tallest and the American woman comes next. The av- erage height of the French woman is live feet one inch. The American wo- man is nearly two inches taller, and; the women of Great Britain one-half inch taller than the latter. American women. however. weigh slightly more than either of the others, their average weight being about 117 pounds.

The fact is the fares were saved by riding a bicycle instead of paying the street car company for comings and goings and the fares were contributed on rainy days when the wheeling was unpleas- ant.

St. Vitus dance is a disease that is becoming more and more frequent among school children. Young people hre the nerves with study and the nerves cry out. Sometimes the trouble takes the form of neuralgia, headache, nervous exhaustion, weakness of the limbs and muscles, and what we call “being run down." In other cases St. 1Vitus dance is the result, and the suf- ferer frequently loses all control of the lFmbs, which keep up a constant jerk- ing and twitching. There is only one way to cure this troubleâ€"through the blood which feeds and strengthens the nerves. And Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills ‘are the only medicine that can make the new rich, red blood that feeds the nerves and strengthens every part of the body. The case of Flossie Doan. of Crowland, Ont., proves the value of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Mrs. Doan says: “A couple of years ago my daugh- ter Flossie was dangerously afflicted with St. Vitus, dance. She became so nervous that after a time we could not let her see even her frieinds. She could not pick up a dish, lace her shoes. or make any movement to help herself. She had grown thin and very pale, and as she had been treated by several doctors without benefit I feared she would not. recover. A friend ad- vised me to give her Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and after she had used a couple of boxes I could see that they were helping her. We gave her nine boxes in all, and by that time she was per-i fectly well, and every symptom of trou~ ble had passed away and she is now a strong, well developed girl." St. \‘ilus Dance, Neuralgia and Head- aches Common Among School Children. “The standard cure for a cut finger is still the dirty cobweb,” he said. “Lives are yearly sacrificed to septic poisoning traced to this unsanitary remedy. “I saw a child in a hospital last week whose mother had attempted to cure a broken leg by calling in three old wo- men of her native village and imploring them to perform certain mystic spells beside the cradle. The child nearly lost its leg in consequence of the neglect of proper advice." A medical officer of health cited a case which came under his notice a few weeks ago. A boy of 14 developed measles, but. had contracted the com- plaint very slightly. The mother feel- ing sure her other children would be in- fected took no precautions. The conse‘ quence was that all her children were stricken with the disease. The baby, six months old, died after two days’ ill- ness, and a little girl of two years has completely lost sight of both eyes. The slight attack in the case of the elder brother infected the younger children with virulent septic measles. OTHER SUPERSTITIONS. The specialist spoke of other supersti- tions that still prevail among ignorant people. “It is a proceeding which ought to be made punishable by law. Hundreds of lives are sacrificed every year to it, and epidemics are spread from village to village by reason of the absurd notion.” “Superstition is even more rife in all classes to-day than it was a hundred years ago,” he said. “In no case is it more prevalent and disastrous than in the treatment of measles. A DANGEROUS PRACTICE. “The medical profession has tried in vain to stamp out the old idea that every child must have measles, and that a child, therefore, might as well be put into the same bed with a brother or sister who is suffering from the com- plaint. A well-knmim specialist in children‘s diseases gave his opinion on the subject thgother day. An epidemic of measles in Wales that carried off 130 children has caused Dr. Alexander Gordon, the medical officer 1 health for Merthyr, to protest. against the practice of allowing children to en- ter infected households. Parents excuse this practice on the theory that it is better that children should have the measles and get over the ailment, a theory that medical men regard as a dangerous superstition.

At such places a meal “satis- tying” enough in one sense can be had for a trifle of ninepence or so, and to expect quality as well as quantity in the circumstances would hardly be rea- sonable. But, as a matter of fact, the majority of expatriated Germans of strictly limited ‘means \VhO make Lon- don their home lose in time their taste for foreign edible-s, and you will find them regularly frequenting the cheap- er restaurants and “breadshops” to which the ordinary Londoner, similarity situated. daily resorts.

Perhaps, then, it will he urged that the young German whose position i have explained, and others of his class, must sacrifice practically everything that makes life endurahle to his principles of strict parsimony, and that such an ex- istence must needs be one of constant drudgery, hardship. monotony, and €01"- did joylessness. That depends, of course on the point of view; but there is this to be said, at all eventsâ€"that within the necessary limits the meagre remun- erated German who lives laboriously days in London ofllce is to all seeming as contented with his lot as is the Eng- lishman whose wages as a rule are slightly higher. And certainly he is as well garbed, and looks every whit as well nourished. The German appetite, indeed, is generally a hearty one, and it. would be nothing less than ioalish to suggest that the Fatherland's sons who make a very slender income suiiice for their needs in London go short of food in order to effect petty economies. ‘ Whelhor his palate is as sensitive as [he Englishmani’s is another matter. [‘0 say truth. I have seen in the windows and on the “speisenkarte” of German restaurants of the humbler class in London dishes and “delikatcssen” that 1 know of several myself, hard-work- ing. self-reliant, decently clothed, and sufficiently fed, who seem not only to be satisfied with what would be called a “living wage,” but are actually able to put something by out of their exiguous earnings, in view of possible contingen- cies. They complain not, neither does their appearance or their mode of living suggest that their condition calls in any way for sympathy. Only a few weeks since I heard of a young German, a native of Frankfort, who came to Lon- don some nine years ago. and secured a junior clerkship in the citx at sixteen shillings a week. His wages increased by slow stages, but e\ on so he has not as yet reached the modest figure of one pound ten shillings. Nevertheless. with- out any assistance from home or outside sources, he has managed in that period to bank close on a hundred and twenty pcunds, and had. as l was informed, just moved to a better lodging, and “fur- nished a room quite nicely” out of Cn the contrary, there must be a good many poor toilers in London, honest and thrifty, who would cheerlully make his acquaintance in order to find out how it is done. But the truth, of course, is that the case cited is a very exception- al one, and can only be taken as an extreme illustration of the German tal- ent ‘tor thrift and self-denial. 0n the other hand, it is interesting to be re- minded once again of the undeniable fact that this London of ours shelters, year in, year out, many thousands :1 ycung Germans who find it possible to exist comfortably .on apreciably less than what barely suffices for the wants of the ordinary Englishman of the same class. Nobody, it is to be hoped, win he un- kind enough to suggest that the xe- sourceful German baknr who confrives to make both ends meet on two shillings a week is an An “Envious"- Englishman’s Views â€"- He Would Not Eat Some Ger- man Dishes. The German workman has always been credited with a genius i'or frugality. But there are degrees even of genius, and, after reading the recent interesting article in the Daily Telegraph on the “Price of Bread,"'and one might be dis- posed to think that the height of it has been reached in domestic economy by the German who boasted “that he lived on two shillings a week,” says a writer ii: the London Telegraph. That parti- cular Teuton, it is true, happens to ie a bakerâ€"in addition to being a geniusâ€"â€" and this fortunate choice of a proiession seems to have enabled him to solve the problem of cheap living more completely, than might otherwise have been the case. “The bread, which he got free. it wvas his custom to soak in gravy from :the meat sent in by customers to be baked, and when that failed he bought a herring, which served him for both breaklast and supper." After this is was astonishing to read that “these men usu- ally come over as boys, and serve with a relative until they have saved a little money. when they set up in business icr themselves." Almost any industri- ous loiler, in receipt of decent wages, might fairly aspire in time, having dis- covered the beautiful art or living on five pounds a year, to “set up in busi- ness" on his own account. THE GERMAN LOVES HIS BEER THE TEUTONIC IS A “GENIUS” FOR THRIFT. FRUGALITY 0F GERMANS NO UNINITIATED PERSON, “UNDESIRABLE ALI EN." There are too many doctors in Paris; it is impossible for every one to live. Their grievances have found expression in a curious novel entitled “Pauvres Docteurs," and written by Dr. Lucien Nass. The hero is a young medical man named Cadom‘, who, though elev- er and devoted, finds it almost impos- sible to get a living. He sets up his pro- fessional brass plate at Grenelle, in the working class district. An old doctor comes to him and upbraids him for his temerity in imagining that he will to able to make his way honestly in Paris. Consider these figures, he says, to his young confrere: “There are ..,700.000 prople in Paris. From this number subtract seven hundred thousand who are treated in hospitals and dispensarles. That leaves two million among the three thousand five hundred doctors. or one practitioner to six hundred patients. If allowance be made for the Charlatans, institutes, academies, etc., the number available for treatment. by the legiti- mate profession is four hundredâ€" an impossible figure for the man who wish- es to live.” He: “What can I do to prove my love for you, dearest ?” She: “Well. I don’t know whether there is anything in it or not, but I have heard that. ab- sence makes the heart grow fender." There will be 10,000,000 Christians in the world at this time, the prophets de- clare. but evidently they will not be equally deserving of favor, for in 192/. or 1926. 144,000 of them will be trans- lated to Heaven, while the other 9.850.1‘i00 will be transported to the desert, near Mount Sinai. where they will have to wait, three and a half years. There can be no doubt that the world has nearly outlived its usefulness, the prophets declared, the wars nntl Ctli'Hl- quakes which have amictcd it. recently are proof positive. and all that is rc- quired to fulfill the prophesies is the coming of anti-Christ. He will make his first political ap- pearance as King of Syria, but, in 1922, he will attack and conquer France; then will extend his rule over the other king- doms. While they differed in the details, all agreed that the end of the world was at hand. They were not quite sure who- ther the final catastrophe will come on May 2, 1929, or April 9, 1931. but were quite sure that one of thObe dates will prove to be the right one.
