In several respects the Sikhs, who are with the Indian forces at the from; in France and Belgium, form a unique fighting force. In the first place, they fill fully one-third of the rank and file of the native armies in India, Unlike the Gurk, has, however, they do not belong to a single race. There are sev- eral types of Sikhs, the force being divided into clans. There is what is known as the Khatiaries, or Kshaariyas clan, consisting of re- presentatives of the old military' caste of the 1Iindoos. They are not such big men as the J abs, an- other Sikh clan, consisting of tall, etahwaint; fellows who are a distinct contrast to the. Mazbis, who are short, rather inclined to be Stout, and have very dark skin and irreg- ular features. The teacher should pay special attention to any child whose age is two or three years above the aver~ age of the rest of the pupils, and should privately consult the School Medical Inspector before nominatf ing the child to the Principal for admission to an Auxiliary Classl Opportunity should also be taken by' the School Medical Irispectorisee the parents. They may be invited by the School Nurse to meet him at the school at a convenient time. The parents should be consulted in every possible way and treated with the greatest consideration, but they should be frankly told that the child is not getting on well ataschool, and that without special help and teach- ing in an Auxiliary Class he will get farther and farther behind. If there is any reasonable ground for doubt as to the needs and mental condition of the child, then a phy- sician who is a specialist in, such matters should be called in. But at the first meeting with the par- ents it is not well to make any dog- matic statement as to the child's mental capacity, unless the case is a, very marked one. The child should have the advantage of Auxiliary Class teaching for a reasonable time, say three or six months, and should then be re-examined. More- over, any statement as to the child's mental condition should be made by a physician, not by the teacher. 1 The help of the School Nurse is invaluable in Auxiliary Classes. The attention of the School Nurse and School Doctor should always be drawn to any child who seems to be in need of special care and atten- tion. Parents and teachers have often omitted to do this because they "thought the doctor could not do anything." Nearly always this is a mistake. Many physical de- fects can be greatly improved or even removed. One rare condition (cretinism) which prevents proper development of mind and body can be wonderfully improved by treat- ment. In the case of children whomay be backward it is a matter of great urgency that every effort should be made by the teacher and the School Medical Inspector to discover, and if possible, remove or lessen the cause of such backwardness. If any physical defect or any disease is re- ported, the Sohool Medical Inspec- tor, the School Nurse, teacher; and family should co-operate to secure treatment by the family physician or other proper person. The back- wardrness may be due to defects of sight or hearing which can be pert- 1y or wholly cured. Adenoid growths in the nose and throat, word-blindness or letter-blindness and lack of proper sleep and riutri- tion are also causes of backward- ness. Flat foot, curvature of the spine, and slight chorea often es- cape notice in children who are otherwise defective. They need every improvement we can secure for them. May Be Due to Defects of Siglit or Hearing.

SIKH’S A BRAVE FOE. "Two years ago I stopped using the coffee and began to: use Postum and from the very first I began: to improve. It worked a, miracle!

I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone-my heart seemed so smother- ed and weak in its action. My breath grew short and the least ex- ertion set mo parting. I slept but little and suffered from rheuma- tins - (Tea, is just as injurious as coffee because it, 1300, contains the health- dtstrrsine drug) caffeine.) __ "For a number of years,” wrote a Western lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet I was so fond of it, I could not give it up.

He was seen by a customer when on the promenade who gave him a mo- ney gift as a Christmas box. He bought a ticket for Flushing. Here he was sent to a, home, but escaped, and joining some Belgians eventual» ly got to Antwerp. ... . _ Wheh War was declared he was attending school in the day and working for arbutyeher at night. MESrth'han once he tried to join the army, but was too young and too small. At Christmas he received $2.50 as a dhorister and decided to go to the front. He took train to Folkestone, but as he had not much money left, the fighting line ap- peared aas faaryrtff as ever. Determined to Eght the Germans, a Iryeaar-old London boy managed to reach Flushing and Antwerp. In Antwerp he was arrested by the Germans, but was released and made his way through Belgium and Flggdgrs home to England.

"Oh, dear," said the first, ‘what a lot of people will be unhappy when I get married.” "Why, how many are you marrying?” asked the 811th one. _ Mr. Frank Btudamore relates an extraordinary incident whidh oc- curred during the Blond-an cam- paign, when he saw an officer, a friend of his, go down, apparently shot through the head. “To my surprise," he says, " met him walking about alter the battle asp- patently none the worse for wear, saving that his head was bandag- ed. Then be showed me how the bullet,, striking and deflected by one of the hooks of his helmet dhain, had run round his forehead, cutting a groove under the skin, an" had then glanced off the her. met hook at the other side. A curious escape from what might have been a mortal wound was that of a Royal Seats Fusilier. During a seven fight he suddenly felt the shock of a bullet. "I am hit," he said to his chum. Looking down, however, he saw that the bullet bad struck a clip of cartridges in his top left-hand poudh, but had done no other damage, The first cartridge must have been a little loose, and as it twisted round when it was struck the bullet was turn- ed off instead of going straight through the soldier's body, as it would have done had all the cart- ridges been firm. A charmed life, too, seems to be borne by a private of the Man- chester regiment, who relates how while smoking a, cigarette in the trenches, a bullet took the "fag" out of his mouth, while anothercut the arorwn off his hat, leaving the peak shill sticking on his head. And it is isharaoteristie of the hu- mor of "Tommy," even when the fire isrhohtest, that when a, bullet took off the top of a bin of bully beef which another private had in his hand, he looked at it, oryolly burned round, made a bow in the direction of the enemy, and thank- ed them for saving him the trouble of findipg a tin-opener. _ A sapper in the Royal Engineers tells the story of an extraordinary escape which one of his comrades experienced. A bullet took his cap off and cut a. groove through his hair, without injuring the scalp, in such a manner that it looked as though he had carefully parted his hair down the centre, says London. Tit-Bits. is nothing speedier to end Neuralgie headache Than old-time 'Nerviline,"' writes Mr. G. C. Dalgleish, from Ev, anstoni. "It is so powerful and pene- trating that it seems to eat up any pain in a minute, My family cou1dn't get along without Nerviline. We al. ways keep the 50c family size bottle handy on the shelf, and use it to end chest colds, sore throat, coughs, ear- ache, toothache and pain in the back. My wife swears by Nerviline. For cramps its effect is astonishing and we believe it is better and speedier than any other household family rem- edy." This is but another illustration of the tricks that bullets play at times. It is doubbful, however, if any soldier in the present eam- paign has had such marvelous es- capes as Lieut. A. C. Johnson, the Hams County cricketer, who re- lates how, shortly before he was slightly wounded, a, shell hit the wall six inches above his head, while shortly afterwards a bullet hit the ground half a, yard in front of him, bounded up and hit him on the body, bruising his ribs. Then a bullet hit him over the heard, but was spent before reaching him, and when in the hospital he picked it out of his left-hand breast pocket and sent it home to his wife. That terrible ache-how you fairly reel with it-that stabbing, burning neuralgia---what misery it causes. Never mind, you don’t have to suffer -use Nerviline, it's a sure cure. Not an experiment, because nearly forty years of wonderful success has made a name for Nerviline among the Peo- ple of many different nations.
