W. | A MOTHER'S TRIALS Car^ of Home and Children Of- 'â-  ten Causes a Breakdown. The woman at home, deep la bouse- hold duties and the cares offmother- hood, needs occasional help to keep her in good health. The demandi^ upon a mother's health are many and severe. Her own health trials and her chil- dren's welfare exact heavy toils, while hurried meals, brc' en rest and much indoor living tend to weaken her con-i stitution. So wonder that the woman j at home is often indisposed through] weakness, headache.^, backaches andi nervousness. Too many women have grown to accept the.se visitations as' a part of the lot of,<notherhood. Butj many and varied as her health troubles are, the eause is simple ami the curej at hand. When well, it is the woman's ' good blood that keeps her well; when ill she must make her blood nch to; renew her health. The nursin? mother! more than any other woman in/jhe' world needs rich blood and plenty of i it. There is one always unfailing way ; to get this good blood so necessary to '. perfect health, and that is through the' use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These i pills make new blood abundantly, and | through their use thousands of weak,' ailing wives and mothers have been: made bright, cheerful and strong. If I you are ailing, easily tired, or depress-! ed, it is a duty you owe yourself and ' your family to give Dr. Williams') Pink Pills a fair trial. What this medicine has done for others it will surely do for you. CANADA'S SIX THOUSAND B!JND (die Pity Giving Way to Prtc- tical Effort on Their Behalf. You have doubtless been interested in what you have read or heard re- gar.'^ ing the progress of a national effort on behalf of the blind of Canada. Do you realize just what this effort means ? - Here are some of the things that are being done: Industrial training and employment is being provided for the blind in centres established in Halifax, To- ronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. Useful handicrafts and the reading and writing of embossed characters are taught in the homes of those blind people \»[ho for various reasons are unabk to take training at one of the regular centres. The product of the home-workers is bought and sold. j Personal contact is established with recently-blinded persons, and withj cases which are sometimes so old that: they become new in a very real sense. This work is done by an experienced Field Agent. | Books, magazines, and music in| embossed type^ are circulated free to the blind of Canada. The monthly | average circulation of books, etc., is; close to eight hundred. The Institute also arranges for the transcription of music for any of its members at costj price. ' i An active publicity propaganda' dealing with various dangers to which the eye is subject i.s caTried on, and, this is followed up with personal work,' looking to the larger co-operation ofj medical men and nurses, employers of labor, Boards of Education, etc., in the vital matter of preventing; blindness. A residence and training-centre, "Pearson Hall," has been provided where blind soldiers may find con- genial conditior.s, while taking voca- tional instruction.' In this connection it may be interesting to know that the Institute has entered into an agreement with the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-Establishment, under which the Institute has estab- lished an after-care department for Canadian Soldiers blinded in the war. There are other things, but they may all be suinmed up by saying that the Institute endeavors in every prac- tical way to advance the interests of the blind and to ameliorate the con- ditions under which they live.

Trapping MLnk The raccoon and mink try the trap- per's skill. Their instinct and cun- ning warn theu\ awaj- from traps. But Ihey can be profitably trapped in large numbers if the trapper uses a few simple methods and is persistent. The rule of successful trappers is. "When yon go out to look for mink look fcr muskrats," since miuks prey on the muskrats. Their favorite haunt Is along small streams, 'and if the weather is cold they wiM be found well up toward a spring where the water is warmest. They have their burrows under the ground and, like the muskrat. enter the holes through the water. If in a district where the streams have mud- dy banks they build slides, and It Is near the slides that traps are most often set for them. But ». anything Is disturbed when the set is made they are quite apt to abandon the slide, and further trapping is useless there. The track they make is much like that of a muskrat. but when the two are us- ing the same district It Is easy to dis- tinguish between them. It is their habit when coming out of their burrows and leaving the water to land at or near the same spot every time. Often their trail across a log. or where they have passed under or around a suag. Is easily seen. At this point, just under the water and slight- ly screened with water-soaked leaves, the trap should be placed, with the chain fastened to a drowner. The trapper should take care that he leaves no odor of his own hands about the set. By splu.Hhing water over chain knd trap, as well as where he stood, this Is removed. The mink is a rover and will travel • mile or two up and down the banks of a small s.treaui In a single night. It Is his habit to go nosing about old Iocs. Those about his feeding ground he becomes familiar with, and he has no fear of them. This sense of securi- ty may l)e used to good advantage by the trapper. .\t one end of each log, about which mink signs are seen, raise just high enougli to allow a mink to piis.i under. Support the end of the log with a trig- ger trap or a figure four trap. On each side of the trap leaves should he thrown up to make a loose wall that will crush flat when the log falls. These two walls Join the walls of the bait pon which is forme<l on the further side of the log by driving sticks Into the grouna. These sticks should be close enough together to prevent the mink or any other animal from passing between them, and should stand as high as the top of the log. This bait pen should then be covered with leaves to darken the in- terior. On the opposite side of the log two sticks are driven into the ground even with the two •vails of leaves under the log, to continue the entrance of the bait pen well nut on that side. The bait is then thrown well back la the pen. The passage- way under the log should be of just the right dimensions, so that the mink will spring the trap in passing. This is known as a deadfall trap and is of- ten more successful than a steel trap. Some trappers build just such a bait house when using a steel trap. The trap should be covered with wet leaves taken from along the water's edge. Care should be taken not to use too many leaves or they will form a cush- ion which will make it possible for the mi-.ik to pull his foot out of the ti-«p. The trap chain should be fastened to either a drowner or a drag. A steel trap should never be fastened to a fixed object, for the resistance makes It possible fur the easuared animal to puU Its foot from the trap. Mothers on the Shelf! One of the must frequent ci'.uses of trouble between married people is money. It is the dangerous rock on to which many a martial barque of happi- ness crashes and then founders. Every girl should have a certain sum allotted to her for housekeeping, dress, and petty personal eiiienses. This should be arranged, if possible, and it is quite possible in these practi- cal and common-sense days, before marriage. There are still men in the world like the laborer who. on being asked what money he gave his wife for her- self, said: "Why. nothin' of coorse! Why should I pay a woman, to whom I already give her victuals, just for cooking mine?"^ Women of every class should iveep a wise measure of independence. This can only be done if she has something, however small, to spend of her own. ! .\uother source of disagreement, be- sides money matteis, Is the children question. "Muther" <Jbes not always i agree with "father" in his views on j girls; she hardly ever agrees with ftls J views on boys. i She takes the boy's part, father j favors the girl, and quarrels often : arise from nothing, veritable moun- tains growing out of molehills. ; Another source of married misery ; lies ill the fact that as soon .as children , begin to arrive fiither relegates moth- er to the shelf. This, of course, is not always the case. .V man often keeps ] all tlie grumbles .ind worries for , "mother," and never thinks that, even I if Elsie is nearly ten and Jack is four- | teen, she is still a comparatively young and good-looking woman, and she ; would sometimes like a little fuss ; made of her. , A woman will put up with a good i deal it only a man keeps a few of his ' charming courtship ways. If he keeps • all his charm for other women, and all i his grumbles for the home, he is a bad husband, even it he pours out money j on his wif«. • i The UMii who sinks behind his news- ' P'.per. and cnly utters a grumpy mono- ; syllable now and again to his wife, '• should remember these words, and ; spare her a little courtship praise and attention. | - â€" « j Reinarkable New Coal Range, j In the present coal situation a cook- ; ln:r range that shows a fuel saving of â-  something like So per cent, will at- tract extra-irdinary attention. When, in addition, it consunies all its smoke ; and soot, and most of its iish. atten- 1 lion gro>vs into wonder. Yet a new range doe.? just that. The secret lies ' in the use of superheated air for the I draft. Air eaters at the bottom, pass- ' es under the ovens and up through the ' hollow lire-b'.)x lining. It is so hot i when it issues tiom holes at the top I that the coal gas is instantly ignited, ! and ireat streamers of flame, reach- j ing S It. in length, burst from the air I holes and run entirely around the_i ovens to the flue, passing the incom- | Ing air channels. This explains the preheating of the air. The residue is actually lesa than the amount Indi- cated as ash In chemical analysis of the coal. In the Sh«Iow of His Wings. (91si Psalm). How blest is the 30ul that has found a retreat. When rude chilliug blasts of adversity ' beat, A fortress secure, what time trouble is nigh, Neath the sheltering wings of the Father on high. lu that refuge serene he shall not be afraid Of the snare of the fowler, tho' subtily laid. No terrors disturb his sweet slumber at night. Nor at noonday the arrow's swift veno- mous flight. Ne'er phantom-tilled ilarkness his heart shall dismay. Nor sudden destruction that wasteth by day, Tho' pestilence sweep o'er the land far and wide And t'nouHands are falling a prey at his side. .Misfortune and evil around he may see. Yet safe from the scourge shall his dwelling place be, For God's mighty angels, obeying His will. In their bands will uphold him and shield him from ill. Because firm is his trust in His mercy alone Who Omnipotent reigns on His Heavenly throne .\nd pledges His" promise forever to keep Those who on Him rely in peace, p^- feet and deep.

Are you conscious that your work suffers froni^what has been called "mind fog?" Is it pain and tribulation to you to concentrate? Have you to "drive" your brain to make :t do its work? Do you admit â€" to yourseK--that your mind seesns to have lost Its grip, its freshness, its originality? Then it's as likely as not that what you. want is water on your brain I What is the matter witli you is ab- stinence from drink! .-Vs a nation we don't drink enough. Discern not the hand of a prohibitionist here, but the Ideal and natural drink Is water. Tho brain, and the whole body, needs a lot of It. Six pints per day is the mini- mum. .-Vnd â€" with water still given premier place â€" it does not greatly matter how you get that amount. Tea. coC'ee, milk, cocoa, mineral waters, are all mainly water, and each counts. Spirits are quite taboo for the brain. They may whip for a time, but the last state of a spirit- whipped brain is insanity. Drink moreâ€" more water lor pre- ference. You'll see, and feel, the brain difference very rapidly. .\ud that's all there is iu it! It's the watered brain that does the work.- So water i^! * Rubbish Machines. One of the most, remarkable ma- chines in the world has been invented by an Englishnum, Mr, W. P. Iloyle. It converts dust Into cashâ€" or more correctly spcukiug, it extracts what is worth saving from rubbish, and pre- pares It for redistributioa. Cinders are washed, dust is con- verted into fertilizer, tins are cleaned, and paper and rags sorted. Another bit of machinery used in the refuse recovery plant deals with clin'ivers. turning them Into moulded concrete building-blocks. About $195 can bo saved out of every hundred tons oj waste, which Is the amount of nibbish accounted for dr.ily by a town of 8;j,- 000 inhabitants. In the whole of the United Kingdom it is estimated that n^ie million tons of waste are thrown away every year, so one can work out the princely income this represents. Mr. Hoyle's rubbish-machine should help EngUmd to realise that iniome. but meanwhile many indiviiluai towns are doing valiant things on their own. .\berdeen ih one day collected $:J,835 worth of bottles, a week's«jam-jar col- lection In Sheffield realized 5t),000. sold tor ?60C, while Glasgow is saving rub- bish to the extent of nearly $100,00 per annum. .-»- Much has been achieved by attempt- ing the impossible. ^ The mould of a man's fortune is in his '.'wn hands. A number of flve-ton concrete buoj^ have been constructed by the Public Works Department of Kingstoh, Jam- aica. Each buoy is about fi i"i in diani-:'t,er, with cylindrical walls a'^iout 3 inches tliick. I Matrimonial Alteration*. "Agnes married a self-made man, didn't she?"

There was a distinct air of chasten- ed resignation about him as he penned the following note: "'Dear Miss Brown â€" I return herewith your kind note in which you accept my offer of marriage I would draw your attention to the fact that it begins 'Dear George.' I do not know who George is, but my name, as you will remember, is Thom- as." ~ What's Its Use? Little Jimmy went with hi#BiotIier to stay with an aunt in the tfeuolry. and his mother was very worried it, how he would behave. But to her surprise he was angelic during the whole visit â€" always did as i he was told, and never misbehaved As soon as he got home, however, he I was his natural self again. "Oh, Jimmy," she i-aid. "you were so good while you were away, why Jo you start behaving badly now?" "What's home for?"* asked Jimmy in paii'.od surprise. Judging By Experience. At the local club the conversation hud got on the topic of the English i language, its uses and abuses. "Have you ever noticed," said one ; man. "how fond people are of using garden phrases when speaking of a woman. Her clieehs are always . 'roses.' her hands are 'lily-white,' her ; eyes are 'dewy vielets.' and " 1 "You've forgttten one." broke'in the man with the sour face, who had hith- : erto been silent. i "w'hich one?" '^ "Her tongue. It's a scarlet run- ner.' " But .Mr. Binks was a commercial travel- ler, and only came home at long inter- vals. On one of his returns he was telling his five-year-old son all about his wanderings. "Aud then I came home," he finish- ed. -. "And did you come in a train, dad- dy?" asked Johnny. "Yes, sonny." â- 'And did you see the ears of the engine?" "(^f course not!" laughed daddy. "Engi.'ies don't have ears?" "Oh, yes, they dol" persisted the small bey.

If you cough every lifteen minutes for ten hours you expend energy equivalent to two hundred and llfty â- flnits of heat, which is equivalent to the nourishment contained in three eggs or iw'o glasses of milk. So says J physician who has specalized on t'le waste of energy in cougui'jg. At a normal rate we expel air from the chest at tiie rate of four feet per second, but in violent coughing we ex- pel it at 'he rate of three hundred feet a second. Thus a persistent cough not only weakens the constitution, but it is a direct cause of 9m.»ciat;on ac- cording to the same authority. Such weighty statistics lead to a reitera- tion of tho oft-repeated injunction, "never neglect a cough."
