If The Liver Is Sluggish Watch Out For Trouble One of the principal functions of the liver is the formation of bile which substance is so essential in aiding digestion and promoting ab­ sorption of nutritivo substance de­ rived from food. Liko other organs tho liver is fre­ quently liable to attack by certain disorders and diseases. Neglect of liver trouble is danger­ ous and if diseased loads to seriousdisturbancesi of the body. Take Milbum’s Laxa-Liver Pills for that sluggish livOr. jl MILBURN'S’ Laxa-Liver ******** Things, like seme people, are not what they seem. * * * * * * * Fine fall though we have had, some people were caught by that heavy frost. ******** Bluff is a two-edged" sword that .ruins both him that uses and him that “takes." ******** The practice of getting by is only a miserable way of practicing self-deception, «*•••«.*■ Some folk are not half as sorry as one might think that the . Italians have not had a walk-over in Ethiopia. *.**♦**»» Three quarters of the ills of this -country would vanish were people to be in bed iby 9.30 p.m. Folk <who are up after that hour should be asked the reason why. *•*««•«* So many pople are driven to- sickness and early breakdown mor­ ally and financially and physically by being busy about things thp,t don"t amount to a hill of beans. 'That’s a -fact. “Every dog which comes to Scotland is p-ut in jail for 6 months Six months solitary confinement is the sentence passed on cat and dog alike as soon as they leave the boat."—-The Glagow Herald. * * * * * * * * Mussolini is finding that it is one thing to tax his people to the limit for war purposes and then to stand on a gun carriage making fiery speeches, hut quite another thing to- make friends of -other nations and to get on prosperously with them in all that makes for happy living. It is no disgrace to ibe successful in business. Big business is no-t necessarily bad business. Folk say that Mahomet won be­ cause of the sword. Ye, hut where did he get his sword? Small ■business is not necessarily business conducted on sound moral prin­ ciples. ‘Trite? (Surely, but w-e have been a long time in finding it out. ******** VERY GOOD TEETH Has The League of -Nations teeth? Ask Italian merchants and housekeepers and taxpayers. If not satisfied with that inquiry, drop in on the militarist party in Japan. Moral forces work slowly but effectively. Goodness is the nature of things—the great fact • the League is demonstrating. CORN5YRUP CUEROY FOOD THAr HA V NOURISHED MORE CANADIAN CHILDREN THAN ARY OTHER CORN SYRUP A product of The CANADA STARCH CO., Limited ******** WHAT CARE HAS DONE One thing that the nurture of the wonderful Dionne babies has d-one is to illustrate what proper care will do for the human body. Only lately we heard a prominent public man say that he could cure 90 per cent, -of the ills of the present time if he could get people to go toi bed iby 9:30 p.m. There may .be something in what the good man said. At any rate, there is noi doubt in the world but that the human b-ody is a sadly ab-used mechanism that hits, back with terrible force upon the abuser. Gladstone said that an invest­ dent in 'health yields returns of 100 per cent. That quiet little country doctor and his patients are illustrating a very valuable truth. ******** JUST A PLAIN MAN That’s what Stanley Baldwin is. Of course he’s Prime Minis­ ister of Great Britain. However, that does not concern him very much. His real concern is to be a genuine English gentleman, true to the best ideals his race has acquired through the centuries and living iup to- what may reasonably be required of a man of his ad­ vantages >and culture. He is anxious to -do •his simple duty as he sees it in this present moment. iHe does not bother about fanciful things but he is anxious to get done and done well, the very best thing that can -be done in the interests of his country and of the race. Yes, he loves England, but he loves- honour still more. He likes power but he will not hold it at the cost of truth. He. is great enough to tell the truth, let the consequences be what they may. He is a great Englishman, perhaps the best loved and most trusted states­ man- that ever served her. His Christian manliness has made him great. PAY AS YOU GO Records of court proceedings are showing that there is nothing so business-like as paying as. you g-o. Of course, yes, of course, there are a whole lot of people who have said that you can’t get on without using your credit. Here is a case in point: “I always pay as I go," said one friend to another about 20 , years ago. “I always iget my goods on credit!" the friend replied. Then when folk ask if I pay by bills, the folk I -deal with say that my check always comes back when they send in their account." Weil, this business man came to the place where he was unable to send his check promptly. The firm was lenient. In a while the check came along. Meanwhile- the friend learned that he could use his -credit without any collateral. Little by little he extended his credit with the inevitable coming -of the breaking point. Then fol­ lowed in quick succession a scene in court, disgrace and suicide. Quite unconsciously his- integrity had been undermined with ruin, dark ruin, in every sense of that terrible word. The old maxim “Pay as you go" is a hard master -but a good friend. Look around you and see! ******** . BETTER THINK ABOUT THIS “A great many people are taught to be insane, according to Dr. Doyle, of the Ontario Mental Hospital at Kingston. He declares that ■over-solicitous parents frequently rob small children of their sense of responsibility, and proper training from the cradle on would, eliminate many of the cases which come to: mental hospitals today. Children should assume responsibility for their acts and learn to accept consequences."—The (St. Marys Journal-Angus We’ve been thinking something like that for quite a while. To a far greater extent than we know we have been responsibility­ dodgers. We lay waste our powers, we squander our money, we waste -our time, we talk and talk and loaf, we follow the easiest lines of conduct, we develop moral flabbiness and softheadedness! and then 'howl like banshees because we reap just what we have sown. When dear little Jackie comes home from school well tanned because ho didn’t get his lessons, we try to; get tho teacher fir­ ed and then talk about a cruel world when the hopeful turns out not to? be worth a hoot when he is sent out to earn his living. Wo start one of our youngsters to get on on his own and then pay ^ils bills, though he and his dear ducky have proven, slackers at every turn. When hard luck comes to. their doors we blame everyone but ourselves and themselves. When our .young people raise the devil, we blame tho churches. We hoard a prime minister blntne tho hard ti.m$s of some poodle in the West on the Rocky Mountains or on tho way the earth turned! It's a great world, all right, all right.
