causing them needless discomfort, when
their parents are sunk in deep armchairs
the very discomfort is good for them, as
it induces them to get up and run about
when they need change. An acquired
habit of lounging is, moreover, scarcely
morally good for them.
Hammocks are quite unsuitable for
growing children. They have dangerous
tendency to contract the chest, and I'M
less counteracted by plenty of drilling are
scarcely conducive to a straight body.
The question of games is important.
Too many men have had to regret a
strained heart through extreme physical
exertion when the body was not suff-
GENTLY developed to sustain it. If long
distance running is open to question, there
is certainly little good to be said for
sculling races, where the leverage of the
sculls gives increased opportunity for
strain. A similar warning applies to cy
cling for children
Easy rowing, however, is a valuable de-
yeloper 1t is doubtful if so much can
be said for canoeing. Ball games are ideal
for young children, because they exercise
the muscles without straning them. 1t
should never be forgotten that the more
weight or leverage you give to a child, in
the form of bicycle cranks or an over
heavy cricket bat, the more danger there
is of inducing strain or abnormal growth.

EARLIEST DEPARTMENT STORE.
Roger Giles of Falmouth, England, Did
Varied Business in 1922.

The troubles of the small retailer in
respect to the competition of the ba-
zaars which conduct fifty different
kinds of business under one roof, date
back to an earlier century. Indeed, the
greatest of the department stores of
this generation do not handle nearly so
varied line as was exploited by Roger
Giles, of Falmouth, England, in 1922.
And while one of these modern organ
izations needs to employ five thousand
or more men and women in conducting
its vast mercantile affairs, Roger Giles
seems to have concentrated within his
own person the entire distributing
agency of his shop.
What was the measure of his success
we do not know-history seems to have
failed to record The outcome of his
venture. 1t seems scarcely possible that
he could have done well more than
few of the prodigiously many things
that he engaged to do, in his advertise
ment; for even versatility has its llml-
tations.
1t seems a great pity that history
has left no record as to the personality
of this originator of the department
store idea. We must content ourselves
with such light as we can get from his
sign which was still swinging at Fal-
mouth England, up to a few years ago.

EGG POISONING.
Some Persons Always Affected-Others
Only Occasionally.

Instances of egg poisoning appear from
time to time in periodical literature and
the subject is referred to in some, but by
no means all works on dietetics. While
cases of acute poisoning are rare, some
susceptibility as regards eggs is not so very
uncommon. People constantly assert that
eggs make them bilious, and while in some
this is often imaginary, in others the con-
dition actually exists.
This is notably true of infants and
young children. Not only do many in
fants and young children digest eggs with
difficulty, especially when first eaten, but
many more are made i'll if this particular
food Is partaken of too freely, or, in the
case of older children, if the egg diet is
kept up too continuously.
Ihls inability OF young children to di-
gest eggs is probably in line with the
well recognized fact that the infants
stomach, or digestive juices, must be
taught to digest most dietary articles
other than the maternal milk. Cows
milk for instance, is veritable poison to
some infants, while many a newly born
requires some practice and education be-
fore it can thoroughly digest even mothers
milk
Individual susceptibility as regards eggs
is extremely variable; in some persons
eggs always act as poisons, while in Others
the toxic influence may be marked at one
time and at another much diminished or
entirely wanting, especially when the sub
ject is in sound condition.
The susceptibility may be observed in
eggs of every degree of freshness, and in
some cases only with the eggs of certain
birds. Changes in eggs may also be
brought about by methods of cooking. for
while some persons manifest their suscep-
tibility only when the egg is raw others
are poisoned when it is cooked or pre-
pared in some unusual and unaccustomed
manner.
In most of the reported cases the white
of the egg appears to have been the of
Tending element. The symptoms of egg
poisoning differ greatly in degree; in some
cases only nausea and headache occur; in
Others the most violent symptoms, sug-
gestive of irritant poisoning, are observed.
Sometimes, when the Use of eggs is long
continued, they give rise to the symptom
group which we call biliousness. which af
ter all is but form of auto-intoxication,
due possibly to the presence of some aka
loid in the blood. The symptoms of egg
poisoning are essentially those of So
called ptomaine poisoning.
1t is true that the eggs giving rise to
toxic phenomena are in most instances APP
parently fresh when eaten, but when we
recall that the porous shell of the egg
will admit the micro organisms that cause
the egg to rot. as well as various strong
odors, it is easy to comprehend that an
egg may appear fresh and vet contain
bacteria that in susceptible persons, and
in certain conditions of digestion, may
produce changes which may cause toxic
symptoms. Medical Record.

HINSDAI,E.
THE WHITE MT. TRUNK LINE.
Hinsdale Wants to Be Included in the
Route


The board of trade held a special meet
ing last Monday evening for the purpose
of appointing a committee to interview
the governor and his council on matters
pertaining to the selection of a route for
the new cement road to be constructed on
the eastern side of New Hampshire, ex-
tending through to the White mountains
The committee will also endeavor to as
certain the attitude of the townspeople in
regard to this matter. The committee
composed of f. G. Robertson, chairman,
James O'Brien, Fl. T. Fisher, r, B. Pike
and H. w. Taylor, will later entertain the
governor and his council here in order to
impress upon their minds the many advan-
tages of building the road through this
section, if the town decides the expense
of such road will not be too great bur
den 1t is understood that the cost to
each town will be about S2500 a mile and
Hinsdale will have at least six or seven
miles.
This road will be one of three soon to
be constructed through New Hampshire
leading to the White mountains and the
selection of the routes is left to the
governor and his council
During the evening the board of direc
tors elected James O'Brien president in
place of E. c. Robertson. who positively
refused to serve. f. w, Tilden was made
first vce-president, L. F. Liscom, second
vice-president, and F. w. Cotton secre-
tary in place of F. T. Fisher, also re-
signed. Mr.. Robertson and Mr.. Fisher
have made an excellent president and Sec
rotary respectively but owing to business
which requires so much of their time
they found it impossible to again accept
the Offices
f. j. Pifer was elected treasurer in
place of G. H, Pearson, resigned, and Fl.
II. Fisher was elected director, owing to
Mr. Pearson's resignation.

now of the following members: James
