HOW AVE PROGRESS
In the old days if anvbody missed
a stage coach he was contented to
wait two or three 'days for the next
one. Now he let’s out a squawk if
he misses one section of a revolv
ing door.
in the experience of individuals, but
from the point of view of the in’
terests of the community, they are
just plain bad business. The ser
vice of every able bodied man to so
ciety as a whole has a certain de
finite cash value. If he lives and
keeps well he ought to be counted
upon to contribute to the wealth of
the community.
This is one justifcaton for spend
ing money collected from the public
to protect public health. It is com
munity insurance. Millions are
wasted every year because persons
are laid up by sickness. When it is
proved that much of this disease is
due to causes which could be re
moved by proper health precautions,
the community convicts itself of
criminal carelessness.
It is the business of organized so
ciety to protect itself against those
attacks of disease which grow out
of bad living conditions. Public
money is well and justifiably spent
in preventing the accumulation of
filth, in providing a safe water sup
ply, in enforcing quarantine regu
lations, in spreading health informa
tion, in providing clinics for the
treatment of those unable to secure
medical services at their private ex
pense. •
The health authorities are opti
mistic. They have accomplished
enough to make them hopeful.

THOSE NINETY AN NINE
After a wife has—
Washed the disiies,
Sent the children to school,
Bathed the baby,
Scoured the bathtubs,
Done the marketing.
Made the beds,
Dusted downstairs,
Swatted flies,
Brushed the ihearth,
Arranged the flowers,
Baked a cake,
Answered the telephone,
Beceived a caller,
Darned socks,
Hung up the clothes,
Put away the laundry,
Polished the dining room table,
Sewed on buttons,
Fed the children,
Aired the baby and
Looked forward to a peaceful ev
ening,
Isn’t it too bad when a husband
comes home and demands to know
how she could have possibly forgot
ten to let the pup out of the cellar.
After the buffet supper, the
appropriate and humorous • remarks
of the Bev- Geo. A. Dickson and the
Bev. Wm. M. Grant, cousin of the
groom, both of whom agreed that it
would be only fair to divide the
wedding fee fifty-fifty. C. F. Adams,
B. H. Melville, Horace Reynolds and
Dr. W. W. Upton also offered felici
tations, after which Mr. Boss re
sponded feelingly, expressing the ap
preciation of Mrs. Boss and himself.
Mr, Boss' views regarding the joys
and responsibilities of wedded life
and, indeed, of life in general, are
beautifully expressed in the follow
ing verses composed by him for the
occasion:
A half century ago
We pledged our troth, for weal or
woe,
A solemn pledge, and said to be
For Time and for Eternity.
Grave undertaking, we admit,
But did we falter? Not a whit
The pact was sealed with faith un
mixed,
For that we Knew our hearts were
fixed.

We struck the trail with little care,
Although it led} we knew not where
What matter had we not a sou?
Our assets “God” and just we two.
Some uphill grades tested our hopes,
Faith’s brakes were tested on the
slopes.
But in it all, whate’er occurred,
We never wavered nor demurred.
As time passed on, it proved to be,
That sometimes one from 'two left
three,
Counting these precious gifts from
Heaven,
We now report that we are seven.
Nor failed in years of strain and
stree,
,Our Heavenly Father's faithfulness,
Nor was withheld through all the
days,
His gifts of providence and grace.
We testiy that in the main,
The trail brought happiness and
gain,
More so, that we are spared to see
Our fiftieth anniversary.
/
So here we are, we’ve just arrived,
En route much pleasure we derived,
For at no time had we regrets,
And yet, we are each other’s pets.
