Camping Ont.

And so you are going to camp out
in the woods during the closing days Of
summer and the opening days OF fall.
What can be more delightful than this
recreationp But don't forget TO take
along some ammonia; nothing will re-
love the pain from the sting of insects
quicker. II would also be well to pro-
cure bottle OF iodine and camers
hair brush TO paint the swelling caused
by the poisonous September mosquitoes.
You will also find At the drug stores
and the repositories for sporting goods
a very superior kind Of horribly SMELL
ing ointment. which will be useful for
smearing ON your face and hands to
keep of flies. Stout gloves, though
uncomfortable at this time of year, will
thwart the ravages Of bugs OF divers
sorts, and mosquito netting worn about
the face will answer similar purpose.
You also want plenty of matches TO
light smudge in your tent every night.
Moreover, a sharp soalpel and pair OF
stout forceps viii prove of assistance TO
your companions in extracting wood
ticks from your back. Court plaster,
for application TO scarified portions OF
your cuticle where you have clawed
yourself in a vain effort to appease the
itching OF gnat bites, you will, OF

may also give rise TO the practice Of
mouth breathing.
DIR. Wagner tells us that habitual
mouth breathers can be at once recog.
nised. as the practice stamps itself in
dolibly on the physiognomy. The re-
tructed lips, open mouth, receding
gums, protruding teeth, diminished
size OF the orilices 0f the nostris, tho
wrinkles of the outer angles OF the eyes,
and the lines extending from the wings
of the nose TO the angles OF the mouth,
gives the persons addicted TO this habit

gether lost; the contour of the nose IL
changed, and ii acquires an unde-
yeloped or atrOphic appearance. The
sense OF hearing may be affected, the
injury ranging from slight impairment
to total deafness through habitual
mouth breathing. According TO Cas-
sells the air must pass through the
nose, otherwise it can not reach the
tympanic cavity. Dry sore throat is
one of the most distressing diorders re-
sulting from the habit under discussion.
The practice known as Hawking" Is a
familiar symptom of this trouble. The
hawker is always mouth breather,
and the unpleasant sound Is made in
the effort TO dislodge the hard, dry and
tenacious mucus from the pharynx and
postcrior wall OF the mouth. In all
ha- H., hal Il, a he, al
obstruction, there is a voice disturb
ance, an imperfect resonance from the
air or tone which passes upward into
the nasal cavity, but finding no outlet
there, returns and escapes through the
mouth. the individual then being said
10 speak through his nose. The dis
agreeable habit of snoring is caused by
sleeping with the mouth open. The
nose breather never snores.
In children, rs might be expected, the
effects OF mouth breathing on the gem
eral constitution are strongly marked.
DIR. Wagner has no doubt that in in
fancy and early youth, when the bones
of the thoraX are soft and flexible, the
deformity known as "pigeon breast" is
brought about by this habit. Children
should be sedulously taught TO use the
mouth for eating and speaking only,
and the author recommends that, dur.
ing sleep, those in charge of them
should adopt the practice followed by
Indian squaws OF closing an infant s
mouth by gently pressing the lips to.
gethcr. People Of mature age also need
10 be impressed with the necessity OF
persistence in the practice Of nose
breathing. For those who are addicted

that compulsory closure may be sue

Mcssrs. Editors: AS [ have been asked
for my opinion on tho action of the Lcgis-
luturo in regard to the fence question, l
have concluded that it would be best to
answer one and oil at once through your
columns, if permitted.
My idea is that this government is based
on the general principle that majoritics must
rule. Then the question arises how are wo
to find out where the majority lies, which
is readily answered by the expression of
the people at tho ballot box. AS far as
am individually concerned 1 am perfectly
satisfied either way, fence or no fence; but
| do not think that any body of men havc
right, legally or morally, to impose such
legislation on the people without the con !.
sent of the majority, ana that consent
gained by u full, fair aud free expression of
the will Of the people at the ballot box.
Suoh Legislation smacks too much of that
old aristocratio government that was in the
State before tho war. Wo want no more of
it. The State is fast drifting to tho samo
waters

relation to lomcsteads and other things

taken into consideration. 1t scoms that tho
