rays, but in order for them to shun the birds
that prey upon them. Light itself would make
the earthworms better creatures II 1t did not
reveal them to their enemies, the birds"
Professor Mast thinks that the happy infu.
ence OF sunlight upon man and other animals is
the result Of evolution which began with it's
marvellous effect on the green plants Sunlight
makes the green leaves form starches and other
compounds for the use Of animals. These effects
OF sunlight are he says, the foundation stones
OF the suns activities on every living thing.
Probably sunlight helps man to make foods
for his muscles and tissues Just as 1t does the
green plant. Certainly It improves his health
and facilitates all forms OF effort. An amoeba
becames busy in the sunlight, so does your
white blood corpuscle; deadly disease germ is
DESTROYED by the sunlight, SO are the dirty cells
OF your skin as they peel of from sunburn
All these important discoveries about the
suns rays should impress us with the advisa.
bility OF getting all the sunlight we can The
homes where We live and the schools factories
and offices where we work, should be designed
with view to admitting a maximum amount of
the suns beneficial rays The Government has
set good example in this respect by devoting

In short, the consequences to life from these
rays are so tremendous that many birds, butter.
flies, moths, fiies sea urchns and other crea-
lures are made by nature to seek light at any
cost. Nature has taught the brute world for
ages what man is just beginning to find out
that 1t is better that few prds bump their
lives out against lighthouse or a moth be
burned in flame, or even few sick men be
sunstruck, than that the whole race Of birds,
moths aud men be deprived of the effects Of
sunlight.
Sunlight should be sought by all except the
aged and infants. In it's sparkling radiations
microbes die, decay ceases, the iron In the
blood becomes chemically strong; ozone is
manufactured from the dirt and dust, which are
also destroyed; the Precipitation becomes active
and carries of waste from the muscles and
cleanses the skin; dead tissues are purified and
the muscles invigorated; and all life is made to
thrive.
Professor Whitman has discovered that even
faint shadow causes a leech to sway from
side to side and become restless and DR.. Dolly
in brilliant experiment, has proved that
butterfly will live three times longer in sunlight
than in shadow. Professor Yerkes has also
shown that the jellyfish is inactive in the dark
but becomes very strenuous In sunlight.
Even earthworms, according to Professor
Mast, of Johns Hopkins, are favorably Influenced
by the very light they seem to avoid. He says:
Il have kept earthworms continuously exposed
to strong diffuse daylight in excellent condition
for weeks. Exposure to light is not avoided by
them on account Of possible injury by the suns

How You Can Tell an EGGS AGE

MYTH eggs the precious things their present high

cd OF testing their freshness.
There is no better indication of an egg than its
density. eggs that float being bad investment All
need TO test eggs that under suspicion is glass
OF water, into which you drop them by while
you watch closely how they behave.
fresh egg will sink when placed in water and rest
its side II three weeks old 1t will incline slightly
with the small end down; II three months old It will
stand the small end and II older it will float with
the large end out OF water less according to
Its age.
device embodying this principle has lately been
patented. 1t consists of air chamber OF aluminium
on the outside of the stem OF which rule The egg

ment and placed in water The depth the instrument
sinks, shown by the rule indicates the density the
egg, and enables you to tell at glance whether It is
fresh or has been kept long time in storage.

T1HB fact that the average length Of life
is somewhat greater than It used to be
has made many of US prone to believe
that We have better chance of living to
ripe old age than our fathers and grandfathers
did. This pleasant idea, however is entirely
erroneous. Not only Is the expectation OF fur
ther life at the age Of sixty, fifty or even forty
years not improving, but It is probably slim
mer chance to-day than 1t was hundred years
ago. In fact, Prof Herbert w. Fisher OF Yale
University, goes SO far as to say that our con-
ditions OF life are approaching point where
the very existence Of the human race is threat
ened.
The average length OF life is increasing be-
cause epidemic diseases are suffering defeat at
the hands of our sanitary fighters. BS the
saving in this direction is largely OF infants
and young children and has no effect on zn
adults chances OF living long. AS Prof Fisher
points out It is easy to see how average longev'
ity may improve and yet the ship OF life be

IL Your BUTTER TASTES BAD,

Butter was also made from cream which had stood In
