the ordinary illnesses of childhood?
ANY woman may insure the health of her
children who will take proper care of her
health in wotuanly way. The health of
her children depends almost entirely upon
ner general health, and particularly upon
the health and strength Of the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens of
maternity. A woman has no right to dis
regard her own health, comfort, ease and
happiness, she certainly has less right to
condemn her children to a life of suffering
or an early death That IS what she does

There are NO days like bygone days,
So thinks the seniie heart,
No ways there are like ancient ways,
None now such bliss impart;
For when the vision back is cast
1t sees golden age.
That heart then signs for all the past
And deans the action sage.
Tho brightest days are coming days,
Aftirms the youth in glee,
And on the future is his gaze
While present moments fee.
The golden age is yet to beam
Before his eager mind,
And thus his thoughts with luster CLEAN
AS they their views unbind.
But to the sensual epicure
The olden age is now.
With plenty near his joy is sure,
And pleasure crowns his brow.
Within the present days he tries
To taste the chiefest good,
Asserting that the rich and wise
Are those supplied with food.
The true philosophy is found
In looking up and on
Away from sordid, earthly ground
Toward everlasting dawn.
The better life beyond us lies,
Declares the sacred page,
And those who look with faith lit eyes
Discern the golden age.

Pulling ON Hats.

"I have not yet lived 1000, 600
years." said Mr.. Goslington, "but so
far observe that there Is one form Of
play that all boys have alike during q
considerable period of their youthful ex.
istence. This consists in pulling OF 9TH
er boys hats and throwing them in the
street. The desire, or impulse, to do
this comes at a very early age, and It
remains in the boy until he is pretty
well grown.
1t IS not unusual to see boy 10 or
IL years old, or even older than tbat
pull of another boys hat, usually il,
such instances the hat Of a smaller boy,
and throw it away. Here the act is in
tended to be annoying and exasperating,
and it is pretty mean thing for the
big boy to do, but little b6yg do this
thing just out Of sheer playfulness. -

Settling up Cupid's Accounts.

An interesting story comes from
Kentucky of two Louisville sweet
hearts who had row. The man is
now suing the girl to recover the
money he spent on her. His bill
includes diamond ring, boquets,
carriage rides, car fare and candy.
The girl not only refuses to pay
him his money back or return him
his presents but has presented a
'cross bill'' in which he is charged
with wasted gas "as per meter ex-
ira coal, ball dresses and 102 hours
spent in entertaining her recalcitrant
lover at fifty cents per hour.
His accounts shows a credit for
ten meals taken at her house worth
fifty cents per meal, leaving total
balance due of $200.90. Her items
against him amount to the same
figure.
This case will open the eyes OF
young sparks to the fact that the
balance of love in dollars and cents
is not all in their favor And it will
be an especial eye-opener of much
potency that a price has been set
upon the loved ones attendance in
the parlor of fifty cents per hour.
Thus are the wages of the labor of
love seen to be much above those of
the average day laborer with pick
and shovel. And the aforesaid young
sparks will be brought to realizing
sense of the fact that they are not
the whole thing in the evening call,
but really on the debtors side of
Cupid's ledger.
It is well for such lovers to keep
books before hand as it is likely to
save the divorce courts much
trouble.-Register.

plans for procedure and will compare
notes and decide upon plan at the
joint meeting today. One point, how
ever. has been determined. Nothing
in detail of the commissions work will
be given to the press until after its work
Is finished.
The reason for this is to prevent so
tar as possible the demands for hearings
before the commission. Sir Wilfrid
Laurier and Senator Fairbanks have
both stated that it would be impossible
for the commission to grant general
hearings. Both the Americans and
Canadians have great amount of data
