Strvan and young Jones strolled off ; Hall was left alone to lie back in his chair, hands behind his head, and gaze away beyond the apricot tree which shaded the well, beyond the compound paling and across the plain, with i@ts scanty tamarisk fringes towards the horizan above which the sun hung susâ€" pended in mid air like crange air balloon.

"Whatever is the matter? What‘s happened?" she asked, and Struan answered with ome word: Light Exercise Helpiul for the Middleâ€" Aged There is so much being said these days about heart disease and high blood pressure that many middleâ€"aged individuals are afraid to take even light or mild exercise thinking it will increase both heart rate and the blood pressure. As a matter of fact the heart rate and the blood pressure can be considerably increased by the exercise but this inâ€" crease can really be helpful, not harmâ€" ful, if the exercise is taken at a slow instead of a fast rate. In Hygeia, the health magazine, Dudâ€" ley B. Reed records experiments showâ€" ing how the speed with which exercise is taken affects the heart rate,. Thus an individual sitting on a stationary bicycle had a heart rate of 80 a minute and this rate increased to 108 at the end of the first 20 seconds of operating or pedaling of the machine, to 137 at the end of the first minute and 150 at end of second minute. This person peâ€" dalled at a rapid rate and against moâ€" derate resistance. Dr. J. F. McCurdy (formerly Dean of the Springfield Training School for Y M. C. A. physical directors) testing eighteen young men, found an averag® increase of 37 per cent in the heart rate after a fast 100 yard run, 44 per cent of a fast 220, and 86 per cent after a fast quarterâ€"mile run. A pulse rate was still 16 beats above normal after eighty minutes rest following a quarâ€" terâ€"mile run. It is the great speed of the exercise. especially if maintained in such hard games as tennis, badminton, basketball and volleyball that not only increases the rate during the exercise but keeps up the increase for minutes afterwards It is the persistent increase after fast evercise that uses up the heart reserve in those who are middleâ€"aged. What about blood pressure and exerâ€" cise? "Exercises of moderate speed cause a rapid rise of blood pressure during the first five or ten minutes, a gradual fall beginning as the work continues and a rapid return to normal when exercise is stopped. Vigorous exercises of speed strength, and endurance all cause a considerable increase of blood pressure whereas mild exercises do not." The thought then is that by taking light or mild exercise the middle aged individual speeds up the circulation 61 his blood and also increases his blood pressure. In a man at rest a gallon of blood is circulated throughout the body every minute, whereas with vigorous exercise, the same amount of blood, one gallon, may circulate as many as nine times. This means that exercise not only nourishes the tissues better but the waste from the tissues is removed much more rapidly, The middleâ€"aged, by taking mild exâ€" ercise. get all the benefits of exercise and one of its dangers.

(From Globe and Mail) Those whose school days are long past may be pardoned if they are raâ€" ther mystified by methods of teaching in effect now. The aim always is proâ€" gress, improvement, but one result is that Dad isn‘t much use any more in helping Junior with his homework. And Dad had a pretty dfair grounding in subjects that crop up in everyday activities. A pointed and oftâ€"heard question nowadays is: Are the lower schools teaching a lot of stuff that will not ke among the essentials in a pupil‘s efâ€" forts later on to make a living? This is a subject disturbing not only to the general public but to educationists themselves. Writing in the Queen‘s Quarterly, Prof. R. B. Liddy of the University of Western Ontario discusses this question of lower school educat‘on. Declaring that our school system may be called the nation‘s biggest business, and that ‘"no other enterprise has such possibilities," he says: *‘‘The sobering fact, however, is that, in spite of all the progress made, and the time, energy and money invested, we find clurs»lves educationally bewildered, faced by perâ€" plexing problems for which no adequate answers are as yet forthcoming." It is a fair assumption that pupus whose period of education ends with the public or high school course shou‘d be equipped with knowledge which, beâ€" cause it will ‘be needed daily, will not be forgotten. It is at the end of the high school course and on the threshold of the university that Professor Liddy‘s criâ€" ticism has its sharpest point. Some months ago, he says, a test consisting of 25 questions was prepared and given to 319 of the students who were 2onlterâ€" ing for the first time one or other of two Ontario universities, the purpose being to discover "how much of the factiual material learned in public schcols is forgotten by students when they are ready to enter university." He regards the results as interesting and instructiveâ€"and he might have added amazing: One hundred and twontyâ€"one of the students did not know the plural of the word ‘tasis. Some thought it to be "basises," several said "basi," and many believed the word to be the same in the plural as in the singular. Eightyâ€"nine of the students thcught that the sentâ€" ence "I think it best for you and I to seek divorce" is grammatically sound. Approximately one out of every five was able to find to three places of decimals the average mark mad2> by seven students whose total score was 356. Seventyâ€"four per cent. failed to find the niumber of square yards :n eight square rods. The answiers rangâ€" ed from 22 to 819,200. Twentyâ€"one per cent. of the students were unable to find what percentage 21 is of 84; some said 400, some %. Fortyâ€"three per cent. were unable to express the Roman numeral MCMXXVII in in the usual way. Attempts varied from 1,127 to 1,003,027.

Yet these young persons were enterinz upon their univers:iy courses, They had passed through the pubklic and high schools, and, on the average, rated high in intelligence. Mr. Liddy asks: "Were they poorly taught*? Or were they taught things for which 'later they had no practical use, anu | which, therefore, they have forgotten?" In other words, What are the teachers teachingâ€"and how? Sold Milk Though Under Quarantine for Fever A startling situation was reported last week from Haileybury, when the proâ€" vincial police were said to have ordered four farmers in Henwood and Beauâ€" champ townships to discontinue the sale of milk while their places were unâ€" der quarantine following an outbreak of scarlet fever.. Three of the farmers concerned sold their imilk to dairies in and the other one to New Liskeard. A New Liskeard doecâ€" tor had treated the patients and placed the homes under quarantine to prevent the spread of the disease. Despite the quarantine, however, milk was reported as being sold from the quarantined places, and this was considered as a dangerous proceeding and very muclia against the purpose and meaning of the quarantine. «The provincial police visited the farms concerned and made it very plain that any further breach of quarantine in this way would be folâ€" lowed by prompt prosecution.

They can‘t help itâ€"and often they don‘t know it. The results of an excess of acid may seem just like ordinary stomach trouble â€" but they can‘t be put right by ordinary stomach remedies! Excess acid may be the reason why you wake up flat, sour, blearyâ€"eyed, bilious â€" and the reason why fierce purgatives only leave you in the grip of a weakening habit and the same old symptoms. But there‘s one thing that acid can‘t face. That‘s the neutralizing power of Vange Salts, the alkaline remedy with the natural mineral spa â€"action. A teaâ€" spoonful in warm water surges through your system just like the medicinal spring water far away in England where Vange Salts come from. Excess acid is neutralized quickly, painlessly. Your blood is purified of poisons. Your sore stomach walls are soothed. And that mass of hard, poisonous waste matter lying in your intestines is softened gently, naturally, and passed out of your body. Tken do you feel good! <~It‘s marvellous! But the most marvellous thing is that Vange Sailts are only 60 cents a tin! At your drugâ€" gist nowâ€"but if you‘re wise, on your bathroom shelf tonight!
