a really effective temperance lesson
preached by moving pictures Il few even

The British parliament not long APP

pie. One of its recommendations was
that scientific instruction in temperance
and hygiene should be made compulsory
in every public school. as is the general
practice on this continent. The young

law looking toward the puritication of

A Japanese Humorous Story.

The following is given as typical
japanese humorous story: The term
'syabu" is applied to doctors who
prescribe wrong medicines. Now, it
happened once that, a quack having
been the means of killing the only
son of certain house, the parents
determined to have their revenge on
him. So they sued him at court of
law The affair was eventually
patched up by the worthy quack
giving the bereaved parents his own
son in return for the one he had
killed. Not long after this event
the said quack heard a loud knock
ing at his door one night. On going
to the door he was informed that
one of his neighbor's wives was dan
gerously i'll and that his presence
was required at once. Turning to
his wife, he said: "This requires con-
sideration, my dear. There is no
knowing but that it may end in their
taking you from me-"

The following story comes from
Belgium:
Two fellow travellers got into con-

leave to measure the others trunk.
The result was that the measurer
said:
"Your trunk is seven and a half
centirneters too long and has no
right to be in the compartment of
free luggage. l am a railway in
-specter and must fine you 5 francs.
Please give me your name and ad-
dress
The proposed victim of misplaced
confidence was, however, equal to
the occasion.
Kindly lend me your measure,
that [ may satisfy myself on the sub
.ject." Then with a polite smile,
*'I am a director in the royal
weights and measures Office. To my
great regret I notice that your meas
ure is not stamped as is required

ing is not legally valid, and, second
ly, it is my painful duty to subject
you to fine of SO francs. Please
give me your name and address"

EATING BEFORE SLEEPING.
a Light, Paiatable Meal One of tho
Best Aids to Rest.

A short time since a physician
held the eating of food Immediately
before retiring almost crime. The
old theory is quite exploded. One
medical Journal. in commenting on
the subject recently, said that while
it is not good, as a matter of fact,
to go to bed with the stomach so
loaded that the undigested food will
GENDER one restless, still, something
of light, palatable nature in the
stomach is one of the best aids to
.quietude and rest. The process of
digestion goes on in sleep with as
much regularity as when one is TAX
ing violent exercise to aid it, and so
something in the stomach is very
desirable for the nights rest. Some
physicians have declared, indeed,
that good deal Of the prevalent
insomnia is the result of an uncon-
:scious craving of the stomach for
food in persons who. have been un-
duly frightened by the opinion that
they must not eat before going to
ped, or who have, like many nervous
women, been keeping themselves in
a state of semistarvation. Nothing
is more agreeable on retiring for
the night than to take a bowl of hot
broth like oatmeal Cruel or some
good nourishing soup. 1t is a posi-
tive aid to nervous people and in
,duceS peaceful slumhors This is
especially the case during cold win
ter nights, when the stomach Graves
warmth as much as any other part
of the body. Even glass of hot
milk is grateful to the palate on
such occasions, but bowl of light
well cooked Cruel is better and dur
ing the cold months of winter
should be the retiring food of every
woman who feels, as many do, the
need of food at night American
