THVRSDAV, SJWTKMBBR M, 103* !*T MAKING HASTE SLOWLY When Lord Northcliffe started the London Daily Mail, in order to make sure that everything would work smoothly, he printed the paper every day for three months before it was put on sale. The news was gathered, the type set, the form sterotyped and the paper put on the press and a few hundred copies run off. But not a copy was circulated outside the of­ fice. During this trial period the paper was subjected to the most rigid crit­ icism. Material and writers were appraised, public tendencies studied, mechanical imperfections eliminated When the Daily Mail finally issued to the public, it .came forth like Minerva from the head of Jove. Be sure you are right, then go ahead.** * When you see a columnist that pleases everybody, there will be glass plate over his face and he will not be standing up.* * * The youth blushes when you praise him, the middle-aged man beams and thinks you are clever - the old man on the safe. QUIDNUNC The Panama Canal was acquired by treaty February 26, 1904. American occupation began May 4, 1904, and the Canal was opened to traffic Au­ gust 15, 1914. Traffic in the earlier years was hampered by land slides and too, the work was slowed up because of the World War. The official opening date was delayed until July 12, 1920 With interest in the earlier in­ vestment compounded annually at the rate of 3 pei’ cent, the cost of the Canal to the United States Gov­ ernment was computed by the Bur­ eau of Efficiency at $525,8'12,661.

Summer complaint begins with a profuse diarrhoea very often accom­ panied by vomiting and purging. Tho matter excreted from the stomach has a bilious appearance, and that from the bowels watery, whitish, ill-smelling, or even odorless. When the children show any sign of looseness of the bowels the mother should administer a few doses of Dr. Fowler’s Extract of Wild Straw­ berry so Us to bring quick relief.

There are grim days ahead and the struggle for freedom is bound to be hard beyond all telling. In such a struggle in which all that is best in us and for us is at stake everyone is required to bear his full share, ilt is still true that the only place of safety is the path of duty. If manly living brings its reward of happiness and honour, selfishness does not go unpunished. “Be suiAyour sin will find you out” is written all over the exper­ ience of men. ******** THE WINNER We saw this man at work in his blacksmith shop only this week.

It is highly proper that this anxiety should be experienced. Year after year Britishers on this side of the At­ lantic have most ingloriously failed to face up to the European situ­ ation. Meanwhile Germany has practiced the diligence and thorough­ ness of the race, informing herself regarding every possible avenue of attack upon British possessions on this side of the Atlantic. It is well believed that she has designs upon Canada as one of her future possessions. Why should she not be casting envious eyes upon Canada? She has considerable friendly racial connections in the United States. She has a considerable number of active sym­ pathizers all over the Dominion. Many a pulpit has freely told of the excellence of life in Germany and of the superiority of German government. What more natural and what better strategy than for the Bremen to seek refuge on the Atlantic as near1 as possible to some British possession. ******** THE COOL HEAD One of the splendid features’of the Canadian situation since the declaration of war by the British government has been the readiness with which Canadians of all ages have offered themselves in one way and another, for the services of the Empire. This spirit is all to the good and forecasts the ultimate issue of the struggle betwt the democracies and the tyrannies. All to the good, too, is the effort to have this willingness serve guided by wise councils. Canadians learned the fatality of precipitancy from the last war. In the early stages of that contest there was a deal of rushing about on the part of the best of good people that proved utterly fruitless. Thousands of tons of articles were made by good hearted people that proved simply worthless to rhe soldiers for whom they were intended. For folk at home simply did not know what the soldiers on the field really needed. Further, many rushed to were qualified to do so. The to the country and hindering pulses are among the choicest require sifting guldaiic on the part of one’s best experience and of the best experience of wise men. Not every man or woman who suggests what is to be done should bo hooded these fateful days. Hasty action is likely to be wrong. The leaders, Federal and Im­ perial, are not asleep and will notify us of services required. Condi­ tions have quite changed since the last war. We’ll make lasting progress by keeping our heads cool. the recruiting offices before they result was disastrous, entailing loss the progress of the war.
