I must go down to a stream again, And I hope for a cloudy day. And all I ask is a trout rod With line and cant and fly. And the reel’: click and the line's Bong and the rod t shaking And hatch of fly on t e stream‘! face in dimples breaking. Imust go dow-n to a stream again. For the call of the riverside. Is a wild call and a clear call, That may not be denied, And all l ask is a breath of wind up-stream hie-ing And a flung lim- in a good without drag lyi-ng. I must go down to a stream again to the vagrant wading life, To the heron's -way and trout's way’, Where rising fish are rile; And all I ask ls a quiet yarn with an angling fellow rover And rum and milk at the Arendel AFmS When the long day's over.

ANNUAL FLOWER
While it is true that flowering
erennlals make a splendid show-
g during the early spring and summer. annuals play a part all their own in both the small gur- den and large estate. Where no perennials are planted. they are a quickly available source nf bloom. both for cut flowers and for show.
Gaps in the perennial border may he temporarily filled in with annual flowers and the attractive- ness of a border may be prolong- ed by the addition of some annual flowers which continue their blooming period past the time v of year when most of the perennials with striking colours have com- plated flowering.
Most annuals are easy to grow. For best results the plants should he well grown in a greenhouse or hotbed, pricked off once into flats and then set outdoors early in June. By this method. it is possible to produce sturdy plants that will start to bloom soon after they are set out.
It also makes it possible to get bloom from those types of annu- als which require a long period of growth before blooming, Chief among the latter arc snapdragons. the seeds of which are usually sown in late March. Many "mnual seeds may also be sown directly Where they are to flower and a nice show of bloom secured late in the season.

CAUSES OF ANAEMIA
A person is anaemic when the blood is deficient in quantity or quality. When a considerable amount of blood has been lost through bleeding. then there is anaemic owing to a deficiency in quantity. and this condition grad- ually corrects itself as the body mechanism makes good the loss. The anaemia owing to poor quality generally means that there are not enough red cells in the blood. or that tho important substance call- ed haemoglobin found in the red cells is deficient in quantity. The chief function of the red cells is to carry oxygen by means of the haemoglobin to all the tissues of the body. It can be understood that any interference with this vital function owing to a lack of red cells or of haemoglobin will affect every tissue of the body. This may be expressed in another way by saying that if the tissues of the body are to be kept in a healthy condition it is necessary that the quality of the blood sup- plying the tissues of the body is maintained.
The quality of the blood is low- cred as the result of such general diseases as tuberculosis and can- cer. Chronic abnormal conditions of the stomach and other parts of the digestive tract may affect. the blood. Without going further into the list of causes it will be evident that the proper treatment of such anaemlas is the removal or treat- ment of the cause of the disturb- ance. Nothing is to be gained by dosing with so-colled blood tonlcs when what the individual‘ needs is fresh air, sunshine. rest and prop- er food. A balanced mixed diet supplies the substances necessary for the body to produce a bood blood supply. The body cannot <10 this work if lit is suffering from disease and so the treatment of disease conditions comes first, followed by proper diet and hy. glenlc living.
Pernlcious anaemia is one form of anaeenia. It ls a disease that re- cently has been conquered. The use of liver or liver extracts ac- cording to the directions of n physician, controls this form of anaemia.

With a wife to support him and to provide him with food and clothes and a comfortable home and Uncle Sam to give him beer money. he can see no reason for exerting himself. but it will be a different story if you lock the door on him and he has to pay for his own board and keep.

FOOLlSI-l AND WB/ONG
If a woman's. husband is sick or disabled and incapable of working. it is manifmtly his wife's duty to support him; but if he is strong and healthy. it is another story. Then die is not only foolish, but wrong. if she lets him become a parasite upon her. llior she encourages him tn his laziness and ahlftlessness. She kills whatever traces of manhood there may be in him and lets him become that most contemptible of all living creatures, a kept man.
