shrine of Buddha" in her living room, reflected that, according to

Buddha's doctrine, the bringing of life into the world is a sin, for to live is to be sentient and to be sentient is to suffer; hence it is better not to be born than to come into a world of misery.

She felt sure that Buddha would be annoyed if he knew that a new life was being ushered into the world in the next room to where he sat in state in his shrine. So, states the Chinese Press, she took a piece of red paper (red is the lucky colour) and pasted it over the door of the shrine, so that Buddha might dream quietly in Nirvand while this objectionable action was taking place.

The reports of our school in spectors show from 20 to 50 per cert of the female children are affected, and a much smaller pro portion of males. While cases of goitre may be found anywhere, there are certain localities in the world which are notoriously goiterous.

"But looking for a cause we do cot seem to find one. The absence of iodine in the food and water, however, is common to goiterous

Mr. Lee was the more angry at this and declared that, if this old woman had not called the attention of Buddha to the birth of his son, all would have been well; Baddha would have paid no attention to such an insígnificant incident as the birth of a son to a poor man, but, have had the matter thrust on his attention, he was naturally, obliged to vindicate his doctríac and so had decreed the death of the child,

He gave most of his attention, however, to the now practically de- monstrated theories of preventive measures with iodine.
