wi€ or Uike a (* u. The service of mirrors is of twofold character, for mirrors have a decoraâ€" tive quality which is really only in a «‘ight degree less important to the modern bome than the purely utilitaâ€"‘ rian purpose that they so admnhly‘_ fullill. Primarily, of course, mirrors were probably intended to be solely a ) firet ald to careful dressing, as, unâ€".

Mirrors, therefore, deserve tho attention of all householders inâ€" terest«] in home beautifying. in connection with their location, whother for use or decoration, it is important to strees the fact that mirâ€" rors were created to eflect people; for this emphasizes the desirability of a pacement properly fixed to meet the eyes of a standing person of average heizht. Thus, even though the upper portion of a large mirror may be carâ€" ried to the ceiling in response to some decorative or architectural requireâ€" ment, the lower portion should be wlaced within comfortable view of the buman eye M This, of course, applies to wall mirâ€" rorsâ€"â€"for miyrors have now found their way to many other resting places! As «n instance, they aro very charming‘!y embodied in many of the new scances, which are toâ€"day a deservedly popular form of lighting fixtures. They are also occasionally used with very de lightfu! effect as pendants on the Â¥al uce boards which often take the place of conventional fabric valances as a finish for window draperies. a80 Brighten Duli Corners. | it Invariably brightening When Building Provide Ample Mirror Service Fhe in medicine as & powertul stimulant ; whilst in the process of curing kipâ€" pers and bloaters a poison called forâ€" ma‘in is used, but the amount is so minute that no injury results.

The expression "once in a blue moon," which used to mean never, now usually means seldom or very rarely. Its origin is obscure.. Some suthorities think they see a relation between the phrase and the moon unâ€" der certain condittons. For instance, Brewer, who in his "Phrase and Fabile" defines "once in a bius moon" as "vory rarely indeed," says "On De comber 10, 1883, we‘bad a blue moon. The winter was unusually mild." e PEsst T ho onl Ob Moons of unusual colors, such as green and blue, have been seen after certain voicanic explosions of great tlolence, and also occasionally through smokeâ€"laden fogs, but inasmuch . as "cnee in a blue moon" originally mean? never, it is not likely that it re meant ncvo;, it is not likely that it reâ€" ters to such lunar phenomena. e ndtural lighting of hais is s(-rious-*‘ deflcfent. ; Nor is the provision of light much tyer handied in the case of bathâ€" “t!: strangely enough, too, in view the intimate connection which outâ€" i6 light and air bear to human alth and cleanliness‘ The average throom, iudecd, possesses but one indow ~â€"and thrt, more often than . $t conviderably smaller size than _ windows of adjoining rooms. mplo mirrors are actually a necesâ€" ty,in many bathrooms, as even lightâ€" lored wal‘s are sometimes incflec al in overcoming the handicap of mdows that are far too email for real Over Niagara Falis.

To get rid of rheuraatism, therefore, you must go to the root of the trouble in the blood. That is why Dr. WilHMams‘ Pink Pills have proved so beneficial when taken for this trouâ€" ble..

CANADIAN SERVICE My Mother. re vears I contemplate Clarerce Hoyt Holmes SM P «~ Sues? Metai Propucts 185 Caneda has held the premier place within the Empire as the greatest proâ€" ducer of sliver for the past two de cades. During the last few years Canada has been the third largest proâ€" ducing countiry in the world, being outâ€" ranked only by Mexico and tha United States. Last year (1925) third place was captured by Peru, whose producâ€" tion exceeded that of Canada by s‘lightâ€" ly over one and a half million ounces. The principal producing areas lnl Canada are, in order of their importâ€" wnce, Ontario, British Columbia, and Yukon. â€" Stivey ores have also boen found in other parts of the Dominion, but the total production from these a@reas bas been small. The total re corded production to the end of 1925 is 493 million fine ounces, last year‘s output being slightly in excess of 20 million ounces. The market price of sllver fluctuates from day to day; the highest yearly averages were recorded on the London market in 1853 and 1854 at $1.348, an in 1920 at $1.346. The lowest price was in 1915 at $0.519. The total market value placed on Canada‘s production during . the years for which records are available (1887 to 1925), based on average marâ€" E ket values from year to year was $318,â€" §26,880. In 1925 the production was valued at $13,815,742. The mines of Cobalt, South Lorrain, and Godganda, all in the province of Ontario, are at present Canada‘s prinâ€" cipal â€" silver producers. Ontario‘s mines have contributed slightly over 268.3 million ounces to the accumuâ€" lated total of Canada‘s silver producâ€" tion, of which only 1.8 million ounces were produced prior to 1903, the year of the discovery of the Cobalt area. The average production in Ontario for each of the past four years was 10.7 million ounces. Dividends paid out to the end of 1925 by silver companies operating in northern Ontario amountâ€" ed to approximately $92,000,000. Silver production in British Columâ€" bia eand in Yukon is obtained from leadâ€"zinc ores. The present rate of production in British ‘Columbia is about 8,500,000 ounces per annuim; Yukon production last year was about 905,000 cunces. There appears to be every reason to believe that the preâ€" sont rate cf production of silver in Canada will be maintained for some vears to come. ‘The decline in proâ€" dudtion in Cobalt has been more than compensated by new discoveries and increased production from South Lorâ€" rain and Gowganda, and there has also beon an increase in the producâ€" tion from British Columbia. â€"Once upon a time we saw a poster which read: "Why is food important?
