Foolish Mrs. Beetle!

SPENT one of our rare hot evenings in the theatre watch- Ing the Insect Piny, in which a famous pair brothers showed un in the form of the insect world,

I saw the gay butterflies inconstant and shallow, fitting from one interent to another; the bany ants, their exact opposite, speeding up their work ever faster and faster; empty hraded cricketa, talking far too much, and the deadly fly whate care tur his family made him cruel and merellesa to every- one outside it.

I didn't want to be a butterfly, or all ant, or a fly, or a cricket, but irast of All did I want to be a beetle, Mrs. Beetle had slaved and toiled all ker Wic to rail her little hall of dirt. Sengrossed in her own little life. nnd hur own tle zavings, she saw no beauty around her, looking to the day when she would have made her pile.

Her Funny little face Wita R]} puckered and worried; she did not dare raise her eyen for a moment.

Tragic Mrn. Brell, I was and when robber beetly took her little pile, and with it took the whole of life. For she had none of the treasure which na robber can take away, memories of Bunny day by the sen, af rustling woods, of bird songs at dawn; no warmbut memories of helpful deeds and comradeship which held fust in the bad time and brought an added glory to the fond ones.

RHEUMATISM

By Family Doctor

AN elderly man came in one day hobbling painfully on two sticks.

He told me his wife was equally stiff from rheumatism, but as she refused to go about with sticks she was compelled to remain at home..

One glance at the old gentleman's mouth convinced me that the cause of the trouble was not for to seek, though not so easy to get rid of.

HIS

IS teeth were septic and broken and his gums foul. When

I told him this he said proudly that his teeth had lasted him so far and they would see him to the grave. So that was that. He went home armed with mouth washes and medicine to case the pains in his limbs--but a permanent cure could not be looked for in such a ense.

WITH

WITH regard to his wife's rheumatism, this appeared to be that form of brosis or stiffening of the muscles from which too many women suffer after middle age.

Possibly worry and anxiety and a diet containing an excess of protein have been the starting point of the trouble, but whatever the cause, this form of rheumatism is difficult to cure.

Ilot baths, massage and embrocallon bring temporary relief. Change of climate and habit usually helps, but this, alas, is not always possible for these elderly people..

A salt-free diet and a herbal tea such as Matte tea does good in some cases. This tea can be obtained from most grocers or chicmists.
