Chaffee had deeded her home to her daughter, Mrs. Sherman, with the understanding that she should retain a life interest in it. Chaffee did not like this arrangement and he applied to the court to have the deed set aside and shat he be appointed guardian of his wife. It was when Mra. Sherman took the stand to tes- tify in this suit that she told of her mother's required to go through a county. Each county will require from four to nine days. The iaformation re- ro- | garding stallions will be as detailed as posible, each stallion in the Pro- vince being inspected. The infor- mation regarding mares cannot be got so accurately, but a great deal of information can be procured from stallion owners in each district as to the number, type and quality of the brood mares, the Committee having many marriages.

Regarding the other matters of a more general nature, information will be procured by close observation and by conversa- tion by those met by the Committee who may have any knowledge of the local conditions. In addition to the work as above outlined, it is being arranged to have one public meeting in each County at some point centrally lo- cated. and where a special interest is taken in the horse industry. The object of the meeting is to give any person who so desires an opportun- ity of expressing his views to the committee. The meeting in each County will be held immediately after the committee has completed | the work in that County. In each Farmer's lustitute dis- trict the Secretary has been asked to assist in the work of procuring the names and addresses of the stallion owners and laying out the most copvenient route for the Com- mittes to follow while in his district. He has also been asked to accom- pany the committee, and to arrange for the public meeting in the Coun- ty. In cases where the Secretary was unable to do the work, the President of the Farmers institute has been asked to make the neces-- sary arrangements. The dates and points at which the public meetings will be held have been selected.

He said he believed the idealists' plan for checking hereditary insanity by preventing the marriage of members of families tainted with the malady would be excellent if it were prac: tical. Unfortunately, it was not. Perfect sanity, he declared, was a rare quality, and was the possesion not of the majority but of a trifling minority. It was useless, therefore, to think of supressing the marriage of those mentally tainted. He believed the only remedy was the teaching of a higher and better system of life, and preventing in- cessant restlessness, whether by the use of automobiles, which were the worst manifestation of restless- ness, he occasionally used one him- self, or the nse of railways. People ought to be taught that their homes are better and worthier of cultivating and inhabiting than any strange places visited under unwholesome conditions. This would do much to relieve tne strain on the nerves, which is one of the | greatest causes of insanity. Dr. Schofield, a well known phy- sician, in the seccnd lecture of a series dealing with the science of life uttered the dictum that there 'is great danger in any sudden change of environment after a certain age. That is why, he said, business men who retire and go to the seaside to live die so quickly after they make the change. He added that mar- riages between healthy cousins have no draweacks. Clerks are the 'only men who live as long as they Jought to. Clergymen live 20 or 30 years longer than they ought, while doc- tors die before their time, Whenthe tip of a dog's nose is cold and moist, that dog is not sick. A feverish dry nose means sickness with a dog. And so with human lips. Dry, cracked and colorless lips mean feverishness, and are as well ill appearing.
