The mud-skipper or walking-fiah, found in tropical African rlvera, climbs Uie roots of the mangrove trees and makes his way along the muddy banks. Using his fins for legs. This flsh la going through the same process that mil- lions of years ago resulted in life moving out of the sea onto the land. Secrets of Science. By David Dletz. Probably the most Important single etep in the evolution of life from our viewpoint is that life expanded from tihe ocean and took poseession of dry land. , All lite is dependent upon water. â- Man is JiiS't as much dependent upon 'water as is the Ssh. Without water, we could neither di- gest our food nor breathe. We think of breathing air. But the air must be dissolved in tbe moisture In our lungs before we can make use of It. Creatures which live In the water absorb the air dissolved in the water. The fish does this by means of Its gills. The gills are thin membranes through which the air dissolved In the â- water Is absorbed and taken directly Into the blood. There have been many different In- vasions of the land by life from the water in the early history of the earth. The first was probahly that of plant life. Certain sea plants which grew near the shore were left without water when the tides receded. At first these died, but gradually plants developed with tougher outer skins which enabled them to hold more moisture within themselves and thus to exist for periods away from the ocean. â€" Animals followed plants in the exo- dTts of the see. Some of the scorpions which crawled about the ocean bottom made their way onto the land. These developed gills sunk far back Into their bodies where they were protected from the rapid evaporation of the moisture. Crabs developed anuored coverings over the gills which eerved the same purpose and enabled them to leave tbe cca. The invaaion of land by worms Is im- portant for it is the constant burrow- ing of the worm which led eveotually to the making of fertile soil upon the land. Certain ones of these worms are also believed to have been the an- cestor of present-day Insects. But the most Important invasion of the land was the invasion by the fishes. In the case of the flsh, the gills were gradually replaced by a baglike growth from the throat, the primitive lung swimming-bladder. Fortunately we have an example still on earth to-day of how this came about. In Australia there are certain rivers which dwindle to shallow pools In the dry season. Here we find a fish known as the lung-fish, which, when the water in the pools becomes stagnant and the air dissolved in them becomes ex- hausted, rises to the surface and gulps air. Similar lung-flsh are found in parts of South America and Africa. An ancient flsh like the present-day lung-fish is among the early ancestors of man. LIFE WAS A BURDEN Restored to Health Throufirh the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills* "It la a pleasure," says Mrs. Ross Boulter, of Victoria, P.B.I., "to tell you of the new health and strength I got through the use ot Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Before taltln« the pills life was a burden to me. I was so badly run down that I did not know what to do. My blood seemed to have turned to water, I waa very pale, constantly tired, and waa losing fieah. It waa a trial to attempt housework. Added to this I had a bad cough and my hus- band and friends thought I was going Into consumption. The medical treat- ment I was taking did not appear to do me any good, and I had about given up hope when a friend urged ni« to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I got six boxes and found so much benefit from them that I got six more boxes. Be- fore these were aU taken I was a n«w woman, restored again to good health. I gained In weight, the cough left me, my appetite returned and I once more had a good color. Better still, I was able to do my housework without fatigue. Needless to say I always re- commend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to ailing friends, and I hope this will be the means of pointing the road to good health to some other sufferer." Try Dr. WllUams' Pink Pills for anaemia, rheumatism, neuralgia, ner vousnees. Take them as a tonic if you are not in the best physical condition and cultivate a resistance that will keep you well and strong. If you will send us your name and addi«SB a little book, "Building Up the Blood," will be mailed you prepaid. This Cook contains many useful health hints.

The excessive beat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid is at hand, the baby may be beyond all human h»lp before the mother realizes he is 111. Summer is the season when diarrhoea, cholera Infantum, dysentery and colic are most prevalent. Any of theae troubles may prove deadly if not promptly treated. During the summer the motbers' best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. Th^y regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach and keep baby healthy. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mall at 26 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

This is the first time that an educational campaign of this kind has ever been attempted in Canada and the Hon. Dr. Godfrey, Minister of Health, and bis Department, are to be congratulated for initiating this im- portant public health endeavor. The fact that mouQi infections and dental sepsis cause a vast amount of ill health is now generally recognized and the value of a movement which will tend to prevent tooth decay and pyorrhea will be appreciated by the general public. The popularity of the effort is demonstrated by the fact that all the prominent health, educational and social welfare organizations in the province are co-operating In a most enthusiastic manner. One of the activities being organised is the pro- viding of free dental examination and advice; over a thousand dentists will have a part in this survey and it will be extended to every part of the pro- vince. In every section of Ontario those who desire will be able to get the service and In a number of districts free X-ray pictures will also be avail- ; able. I The gea«ral public educational cam- ' paign will consist of newspaper ar- 1 tlcles, motion picture* and radio talks. \ Public meetings and mass meetings for i school children will also be held. The ! service ciubs are giving prises to the ' children writing the best essays or pre- paring the best posters on Denta! Health. The merchants are arranging for suitable window displays and busi- j ness concerns have offered to enclose dental health leaflets in the conimun- ; cations sent out to thetr customers and clients. The Ontario Motion Picture Bureau Is conl.i ibuling the motion pic- ture films and the various exchanges are distributing them to the theatres. This has been made possible through the court'jsy of the Toronto Film Board. A short dental health film will be shown in each of the larger theatres In Ontario. Dental Health concert programmes, including a short talk on the prevention of mouth dis- eases, will be broadcasted from the radio stations.

Sangster. Poison Ivy. Ivy poisoning is so prevalent this summer. It leads one to ask: How many people know this plant, "the worst vegetable, skin poison in Ameri- ca?" It Is native to Canada and Is commonly found In hedges, in dry woods, along country roads and, all too often, even in city parks. Poison Ivy Is a low shrub. The leaf Is large, re- sembles that of the Virginia Creeper but is divided into three distinct leaf lets ; It is of a bright green color which changes to autumnal shades. Children are quick to recognize It, and should not go where It is liable to be found until they can recognize it and know the danger of touching it, In the city of Hamilton the Horticul- tural Society, co-operating' with the School Medical Ofllcer, supplied a specimen of the plant to each oi the city schools; this was used for teach- ing the children to know the plant and how to treat ivy poisoning. Cattle can eat poison ivy without any ill-effects, but dogs are poisoned by It. When a human being is affect- ed, it shows as an inflammation of the skin immediately or within a short time after coming in contact with the leaves, although .some people are so susceptible that they are affected if they merely pass the plant and do not touch it. The poison can also be car- ried on clothing, tools, etc. What to do: Treatment must be prompt. Hot solution of baking soda, qr vinegar, or salt (4 tsp. to 1 pint) are recommended, as they are easy to get In any household. Good strong yellow^ laundry soap (because of the antisepitic action of the potash) is most helpful when used promptly to wash the parts affected; It is a wise precaution to carry a piece of this kind of soap in your pocket when going for a tramp In the woods, and to use It freely after an outing. In severe cases, apply clean cloths soaked In hot boracaic acid (4 tsp. to I pint), changing frequently. Very severe cases should be seen by a doc- tor. Still Celebrate Oruld Fete. The Festival of St. John, thought to be derived from the Druidic Sunfeast, is still celebrated in Brittany. Bale flres blaze on every hillside. The peas- ants, in holiday attire, dance around them all night to the music of the obee and the shepherd's horn.
