TOO MANY PEOPLE IDLE
The main causte of the high cost of
living is too much iidleness:a All aur
needs anust be supplied by labor, and
it as 'only by ,labor that they can be
supplied. The idlers as well as the
worker a must be housed and fed and
clothe d It requires more labor to
keep the weeI thy idler than it does to
keep the ,tramp, because the former
class demands ,`mare of the products
of labor. If everybody worked and
earned his pc he.r ower, living tegght
hours ,per day would ,keep us all in.
affluence, but if a large class of pau-
pers, rich ooa-poor, must be supported
the workers wall have to continue
working overtime, The, idlers, and es-
pecially the idle, rich, are ethe curse of
these struggling reconstruction, days..

The regular meeting of the W. C.
T. U. was held at the home of Mrs.
R. Skinner, Andrew St., on Monday
afternoon, March 29th, There was
not very large attendance •but
those who were there enjoyed the
meeting very much, The educational
exercises of our new dept.—The
Canadian Marine dept., was taken
up and much valuable information
given about the work of the Navy
League and Sailors work. The Proc.
Supt. of that department is one of
our own county W. C. T. U. women,
Mrs. Frank Elliott, of Goderich, who
has always been one of our able
workers in connection with the Red
Cross and Prison work, and the W.
C. T. U. made a wise choice in sel-
ecting her as Supt. for this 'mbar -
text work. •
Another pleasing feature of the
meeting was the splendid report of
our delegate to Toronto, to the big
Alliance convention. Miss Gregory
gave avery concise and full report
and a very hearty vote of thanks
was tendered her, for the important
information. given us from the con-
vention and the ladies regretted
that this report could not have been
heard by . every member of the
union, those who were not present
certainly missed a splendid meet-
ing. The next meeting to be held at
