I WHEN THE SYSTEM IS ALL RUN DOWN Often All That is Needed is a Tonic to BuUd Up the Blood. There are mmty women who have been Invalid* or seml-lnvallds so long that t4iey accept ihelr condition as a life burden. Tbey have endured bro- ken el«ep, atomacb trouble, nervous- ness, headaches and weakne&s so long that they have given up hope of en- joying good health. In most of these cases a well chosen diet, fresli air and a tonic to build up the blood would do wonders. To all run-down, nervous people the experience of Mrs. H. J. Cameron, Watervale, N.S., will be of deep Interest. She says: â€" "About two years ago I wae in a miserable, run- down condition.

The St. Catharines Rotary Club a short time ago put on a real "iVIusic Day" lunchtKjn that might well be copied by other clubs throughout Can- ada. Why not, indeeil, right here In our own locality? The apeakur of the day was .Mr. J. S. Atkinson,, of the Canadian Bureau for the Advancement of Music. in opening his address on "The Power of Music," Mr. Atkinson said that until the war be was almost en- tl'ieiy ignorant of liie enormous power of music. In the Great War, music en- •couraged the troops on the march and made them forget their fatigue and ln.spired them to greater effort. He spoke of the pep wh^ch the blngln^ of patriotic son^s injected into the sol- dlPfs, and the moral effect it had upon them. ^..â- j speaker spoke of the great in- fluence of music upuu. the Ru:^<jlans. The children were taught the Russian folk songs when they were very young, and were brought up in an aimcviphere of good music. A Russian princess once told him that during the dark days of Riussia she could not have lived without music, as it -made her forget her sufferings and misery. Mr. .\tkin- Bon related a number of interesting stories' of the Russian people and their manner of living, and gave several in- stances showing tlieir love of music and its e.Tect upon them. The greatest agency for the develop- ing of the appreciation of music was in the schools, and from the schools it would permeate the homes. In a num- ber of schools in Canada and tlie UniieO. States music was being taught. During the course of a year the pupils were made familiar with about fifty pieces of good piusic. They were taught something aiout the various composers and' the circumstances un- der which the number was composed. At the end of a }-ear a contest was held and a number of selections were played for the pupils, who wrote the names of tie selections played and the names of the composers. By this plan they were made familiar with the masterpieces of musical literature and helped toward the appreciation of good music. Music waa <)f the greatest im- portance in education and had great educative value. It Improved the mem- ory and the power of concentration and made the pupils better students intellectually and spiritually. In a number of high schools and universi- ties music was made optional instead of some other subject. In concluding, Mr. Atkinson spoke of the use of music In industries. In a number of factories in the United States and England, as well as in Can- ada, a tew minutes a day were sjjent In a general sing-song. Many employers considered this period the most lucra- tive of the day, because it increased the production and created a bond of agreement between emploj-er and em- ployee. For the employees it gave them relaxation and added content- ment to the worker. WE WANT CHURNING CREAM We supply cans aad pay express charges.
