health movement seventy years ago an american doctor com mends english womens enterprise in the health department of an 18c1 issue of godcys ladys book and magazine dr john standisn wilton expressed himself regarding an as sociation which was in effect an or ganisation for the- promotion of health education probably he little thought that ills words would ho nearly if not luite as applicable in 1931 as in 1s61 says the american red cross we notice with much pleasure raid dr wilsons article that there has been recently formed in london a ladies national association for the diffusion of sanitary knowledge many of the members of which are among the most distinguished and noble ladies ot england we also learn from the samo source that tho principal object of tho association is the preservation of the lives and the health of women and children by dif fusing a knowledge of tho laws of health in regard to air food and cloth ing and wo aro told moreover that tho association has distributed not jess than 40000 copies of tracts giving plain instruction upon these subjects to say that wo aro pleased at this movement fails greatly fails to ex press our feelings wc are moro than pleased we are delighted next to religion and very intimately associ ated with it as wo shall show at some future time tho most important concern of life is health tho bless ings of health are to be attained by the diffusion ot sound hygienic know ledge among the people and in this way only and this knowledge is to he dispensed mainly through tho instru mentality of woman by the influence of her example and by the circulation cf books and tracts on physiology and hygiene in her social intercourse but to do the work efficiently her efforts must not be isolated casual occasion al or dependent on mere convenience and conventionality they must ho or ganized united certain constant or iginal untiring in season and out ot season wc trust then that the good ex ample of tho ladies of england will bo imitated by the women of america mid that the ladies association for tho diffusion of sanitary knowledge will spring up all over this country so much blessed in many respects but so grievously cursed with disease and death from ignorance of the laws of health with a climate as congenial as any perhaps on earth in a country where the necessaries of jife are pro duced in abundance with

tho waving trees made a fretted magical pattern on tho smooth surface of the water a pinebarren pickerel frog all emerald and gold and purpleblack snored and somo other frogs unknown to me gave a

as if they had waited for that moment burst out into a perfect pandemonium of honking quacking notes when at last the clamor of the frogs stopped as suddenly as i had begun i left my bag in the cabin and in the moonlight hurried down a winding path which led through a little dip in the soft yellow grass where not fifty yards from my porch the wild deer bed in winter just at the edge of this hollow i found a clump of tho flowers which i had hoped to see red gold ivorywhite and pale green they grew from a mass of hollow crimson- streaked leaves filled with clear water and i knelt down in the moonlight to revel in the beauty of the pitcher plants which i had not seen in blos som for three long years the sight of them brought to my mind another discovery that i had made the day when last i found thorn blossoming and i followed the path until it wound through tussocks of ochrecolored crass parting their stems 1 searched through soveral without finding anything then as i came to tho last
