There ist no better .tonic for mind .and body than, plenty of hard, tiring working at a real job. *♦♦ ♦ * * The worst thing about this election is its futility. What’s it all about anyway? *♦ * ** ♦ * * Eminent Physician Declares In a recent lecture before the American Academy of Medicine, a prominent physician stated that per­ sons who aren’t fat live the longest. 'Common sense confirms this. In­ surance companies often reject over­ weight folks, or charge higher prem­ iums on account of the risk. Fat crowds and weakens body ‘organs— it slows you down and puts unneces­ sary strain on the heart. A host of ailments (even rheumatism, acidity, shortness of breath and lassiture) are often associated with fat. So get rich of this dangerous, un­ healthy fat. /There's n'o reason why you shouldn't when science has giv­ en you this safe, effective treatment —a half teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water 'first thing every morning. This healthful “little daily dose' of Kruschen keeps the system free from harmful toxins, it helps to re­ establish normal and proper body functioning—it k'eeps you feeling fine all the time. (Energetic activity takes the place of sluggish indolence all while you lose excess fat gradual­ ly and without discomfort. MRS. W.

For the /life of him he cannot ascertain who is telling that truth. ******** The rain fall continues to be. decidedly scanty. It is still true that 90 per cent, of the conditions ‘for successful crop production are beyond humon control. ******** Haye you ever figured out how long an umbrella would protect a country against a fleet of airships prepared and intending to drop a few tons of b'onubsi? ******** Forest fires are still raging. There is1 need of a few stiff jail sentences t'o be handed out to folk who set fires where fires are likely to owrk public damage. ******** When relieving your feelings and expressing your mind in regard to the. present election, remember that the campaign will last for but a few days longer while friendship should last for a lifetime. 'Somq people forget this. A SUGGESTION We suggest that all Sunday visitors form the habit of taking their Sunday meals; with them. We urge this practice upon those who visit out farm homes. The reason for visitors doing their own cooking is that farmers’ wives work hard alii the week) and require the portion of Sunday not required for church and Sunday School for rest and quietness. But would it not be better for Sunday visitors to make a change in their habits and to spend the day quietly at home or at church. ******** QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Where Iras our money gone? That’s easy: We spent it—and got precious little for it. What happened to us in the bad 1920’s? We got financially drunk contracted spiritual anaemia and got a splendid black eye in 1929. What have, a great many people, been dioing ever since 1929. They have been mistaking galvanizing a corpse for vitalizing the social body, mistaking jazz for music, thinking that rushing about is getting things done, and paying their debts by mortgaging their homes. What is the most encouraging sign of the times? It is that people are asking where we are heading, that a few wise folks are stepping on the brakes rather than on the accelerator. In the case of the wisest the key is in dad’s pocket and mother has hid the trousers. ******** Mr. Earl Sprout, of Kippen, had the misfortune to have his leg brok­ en recently. NOW- Minard’s!

There is the big storm cloud of the- labour strikes- in the country south of us>. There is the fact that the financial depression is anything but over, There is the crop shortage 'and the general hard times of the western provinces. Added to this is the lack of vital interest in many of the things the church stands, for. The church's duty under these circumstances? Mainly her duty is to establish and to sustain the morale of the country. Her last duty is to be an agitator and' a creator of frothy unrest. She seiwes well when she gets- men to- working, to studying what they may do and1 do- well, when she leads all who know her to work in faith andi to realize that most thingy yield to patience, to good will, to industry, to enlightened faith and to the steady pursuit of a worth while aim. $ Jfs & * A HERO On the 24th we met a lad of eight years. It was 3 p.m. “Where have you been?" we inquired. “Fishin’!” “How many d-id you catch?” “I didn't get none!" “Had your dinner?" “Nope!” “What are you going to do?” /"‘I’m goin’ to get my dinner?” “And then?" “I’m goin’ fishin’!” Foch at his best and Wellington at his- highest never were better of finer than this: yioungstem We have hopes1 of the bov or •the man who keeps fishin.’ a - *** * **** PLEASE STUDY THIS We hear a good deal about scholastic attainments in regard to what we sometimes call the practical affairs of life. In this con­ nection we are glad to pass on to our readers- the Reasoned1 judgment -of Selfridges:’ big departmental store in London, England, as set fourth by “Calistlienes” in the weekly edition of the London Times: “In the legendary d'ays “before the War” the young man pre­ paring for a profession was taught to rely much on text books. In the text book were the authoritative, rules for all emergen­ cies. The railway engineer knew precisely how much freight and ■passenger traffic a set of rails couldi carry. The architect could learn the rules governing the planning of churchs and town halls. The young economist could’ learn about the exchanges and foreign trade and rent as precisely as if they were the ten commandments. But these days have passed. The more -precise the instructions Were, the more they are out of date now. Text books assume that the practice of the profession is stabilized and the practice of every profession is now changing so fast that ten years1 puts almost all the detailed calculations out -of date. The architect who was brought up to think in terms of brick and stone has to thimk' in terms of steel and Concrete and glass— and hasi to be prepared for the fact that all these are changing in their strength and- in their properties; The economists who in 1929 used the text -books to forecast the immediate future of America made a sorry mess of the job, as their predecessors had dione over the effects of the War and the future of Russia. This all means' that the need in business in these days- is for young men of strong and Independent judigment. A man may cram him­ self to the scalp with text books- and be no good at all to the World in general or to the firm which employs him. He never would have been much use if he were short of judigment and the courage to use it, for business whs never so slow-changing as: to enable all its pro­ blems to be s-'olved by tradition and text book. But he is of less use than ever now at a time when the current of -change has become a mill-race, when a man has no sooner got a rule by heart than he has to take it out of practice and put it into history. Hard work among books is still one of the best approaches to a career. .If for nothing else it is a training in discipline and con­ eantration, and there is a termendloUS amount in the past that has not only historical but practical value. Often the young man must understand a tradition before he can safely dispense with it. But all the value of that training is cancelled out if it weakens judgment instead of strengthening it, if it causes’ a man to quote a text-book when he should! make a decision. If text-books give a man self-reliance they are a god-send; if they paralyse his self-reliance they are pernicious. ,we welcome to this1 Stoire young men who has shown enough inter­ est enough in his career to master the text booikte on it, (We take it as a .good1 omen if he lias done all that he can to prepare himself. But the first thing wO do is to persuade him that he is serving the future and not the past, that judigment is more to be desired than knowledge, and we net ourselves to train him in that direction in or* dor to. make him of maximum value t’o the commerce of this coun­ try,” FARMER INJURED WHEN HORSE RUNS AWAY Alexander “Sandy" Young, 82, of Colborne Township one of the most widely known and belovedi pioneers is in Alexandra Hospital at Goderich with a broken hip and other injuries' suffered when his 21-year-old horse took fright at a passing truck, ran away, throwing the aged gentleman out of the vehicle to the ground. Ow­ ing to his advanced years his condi­ tion is precarious. Ho had driven the horse since it was a cold1. 0 STRATFORD BEES WIN FROM HENSALL NINE Stratford “Bees" assumed the driver’s seat in the Eastern section of the intermediate “B” intercounty league in Stratford on Wednesday last when they defeated Hensail 12-8 in one of the most peculiar games ever played in Stratford. Sidwell, the starting Stratford pitcher, looked like a million dollars and for seven innings allowed the visitors but one scratch hit, which Brown was unable to get to first in time to retire the batter. But in the eighth Sidwell weakened due entirely to a lame back and before he was yanked in favor of Feibeg. Henstall had, nicked him for five hits and five runs and before the third out had been made they had counted eight times, the only innings in the game in, which they were able to dent the platter. McLean faired little better in dish­ ing them up for Hensail, being der- ricked in the fifth frame after Strat­ ford had scored six runs off his de­ livery. Brintnell was some better but was forced to yield nine hits and six runs, the “Bees" scoring in every frame but the eighth, their last turn at bat.
