An addition to the columns 'of: the
Sentinel several months ago, "Sugar and
Spice," written by Bill Smiley who' is ' edi
fo• r of., the :Wiarton Echo, . has :proved most
• popular with many " of our readers.
,Mr. Smiley this column for use
in his own weekly;' paper,. at Wiarton, but
continual .+'demand by ,other : papers" has re-
sulted in ,the column now `appearing in over
'eighty weeklies across Canada. •

WE OUGHT TO LEARN
There, are many 'things in life which
we would do well to learn arid. practice
Here are a few. of them:
I., Learn how to laugh. A good laugh
is better than; medicine. When :you smile
• or laugh, yourbrain for -a moment is freed
from the load it ordinarily carries.
' 2. • Learn : to; tell a : helpful' story. •
welt -told story is as welcome asa• sunbeam
in :a sick -room;
- 3 Learn to keep your :problems,:,•to,.
yourself. The' world is .'too 'busy to linger
over yo.ur ills and sorrows.
4. Learn : to' stop -complaining:.` If you
cannot see any ood . 'in this 'world, keep
the bad to yourself.
5.. Learn'. to greet - :your friends with a
n
smile.. They :catty too many frowns in their
own heart s to ' be bothered with any of
yours:

little feet to keep them warm , and huddles
in front of the 'open' fire where her Mummy
