WDE R EL THE Conâ€" NTS ARE LABEL. IT Â¥ MEDIUM~ * MADE IN MO N T R E A L IMITED YE for |F ur â€" ) NOTES ANDCOMMENT s There appeared in the London Academy not long ago a plenant‘ article on the French cure and the society that he adorns in the little country villages. Even the first families were not oppressive in their parzde of worldliness and for the rest competition in the cost of high living was never thought of. As he proceeds with his descripâ€" tion the author is driven to a comâ€" parison, and this is what he says : Â¥Here is a faithful picture of the\ simple life, than which there is no better, and the sustained and comâ€" plicated © efforts of ultraâ€"modern people to lead it are wellâ€"nigh fiathetic, for this reason, that they ave lost inner consciousness of the few things that reaily count and fastened upon the externa‘s. But simplicity can not be acquired by letting one‘s hair run wild and perpetually dressing in green.‘" Sorrowfully it must be confessed | that these simple ones are only pre<\ tenders. The simple life is truly admirable and probably it wou‘ld be better for us if we were to live it, but we don‘t know how. We have a thousand wants that we can‘t get rid of no matter how we try. They have become second naâ€" ture, and every man who talks about retiring is at his wit‘s end when he tries to figure out just how far he can cut down expenses. He would like an automobile in his reâ€" tirement because he would have increased ppportunities for using wne,. but an automobile in the simâ€" me life would soon lead to a genâ€" era% blowout.

Stomatitis springs from â€" different â€" causes. Sometimes it follows mechanical irâ€" ritation, such as the â€"constant scratching of a broken tooth, the irritation of a badiy fitted toothâ€" plate, or the frequent use of a pipe. Sometimes it is a sign of insaffcient nourishment or a low condition . of the general health. 9e _ Infants who are cutting their first teeth often have little round gray patches in the mouth; these are called aphthae, and this form of the disorder is called aphthous| \stumatitis. The patch:s by and by | turn into little red ulcers, and the‘ | baby becomes feverish and fracâ€" | tious. The ulcers must not be neg-‘ \lected, but they will not give much |trouble if they are properly treat-‘ \ ed. This form of mouth trouble, \known also as the thrush, is most. |likely to attack neglected and illâ€" â€"nourished children. ' Stomatitis is often a symptom of a general illness, such as measles, 1diphtheria, smallpox, or scarlet fever ; or it may be caused by mediâ€" | cines given in the treatment of some | other trouble. Children suffer from ‘attacks of stomatitis oftener than *adu!ts, because they so oftener put | soiled fingers or germâ€"laden toys ‘into their mouths. Gangrenous stomatitis is seen most often in children. It is proâ€" bably caused by some microbe that has not yet been discovered. It starts on the inside of the cheek, eats its way rapidly through to the outside, and is generally fatal. Very prompt and thorough surgiâ€" cal treatment is essential. Happily, this form of the disease is not comâ€" mon Thc;“i;;z{ihent requires absolute cleanliness of the mouth. To this end a physician should be consultâ€" ed, and the washes he prescribes must be faithfully used. If the diet is at fault, it must be very carefully regulated.

The chapters intervenâ€" ing between this and our last lesâ€" son mention the erection of two monuments, each composed of twelve large stones taken by twelve men from the empty channel of the Jordan at the command of Joshua. The first of these was set up west of the Jordan at the place of the first night‘s encampment of Israel after crossing, the second in the riverâ€"bed itself at the place where. the priests bearing the ark had stood while the people passed over.

Undoubtedly one of the most saâ€" lutary discoveries of modern mediâ€" cal science is that of the value of fresh air as an agent of genenli bodily health. In the old days we used to muffle up our throats to keep out bronchitis, pad our chests against consumption and sleep behind closed windows (o‘ escape the contagion of the night atmosphere. Toâ€"day all this is changed. The victim of a bad throat or weak chest is taught to expose the affected parts to the outer air as much as possible. The fresh air treatment of tuberculos‘s is now universal. The wise man sleeps in winter as well as in sumâ€" mer with every window wide open â€"or, better still, out of doors! To keep out in the open air is in our time the first law of health. ~ Now, very impressive is it to note‘ that what is so true as regards the | body is no less true as regards the goul. In the spiritual life, as well as the physical, we are learning| the value of fresh air. No lungerj do we drive the tempted soul intoi the ways of solitude or separate the | sinner from contact with his felâ€" lows. No loager do we regard the monastery as the refuge of virtue or the dark silence of the hermit ‘cell as the *Cure of Soiritual Corraption. If a man is overweighted with cares or beset by temptations or stricken with some loathsome moral cancer let him flee from the lonely chamber where he knows only dull brooding and sterile remorse and desert the towering altars where he makes confessions and does penâ€" ance. Let him take his anxiety or sin into the open air. Let him go down to the sea, and look unto the hills. Let him heed the skylark, and dance with the daffodi]s. Let him seek the company of the sun, and bow to the benediction of the stars. Let him, in a word, hold "communion with Nature in her variable forms,""‘ and lo! his cares will fall from him like a ragged gar you do not tell them, y all the words runnin other, like cars in a 1 sion."
