Good S ob y a Ca Iran Wri A farmer member of the "Ontario Legislature, who afterwards• sat in the house of Commons, onee put up at an' hotel in Toronto. After a night or two he approached the hotel clerk with the words: "Up our, way we usually give a fel- low a lamp when he's going to bed." "Isn't there a light in your room?" asked the clerk. "Na," said the politician. The clerk called a bell -boy and told him to go up and see about It: The boy found an overcoat hanging on the electriclight bulb! The farmer had never before seen an electric light, though he had been. warden of a Western Ontario county. Mr. Hector Charlesworth, the cele- bratd Canadian journalist, has many other amusing true stories to tell in his book of reminiscences, "Candid Chronicles." * * • e A : certain lawyer, while making a speech on one occasion, commenced with a` recital of conditions in the com- munity in which he was reared.._H•e said that when a Methodist minister was going to another station, a"social" was held to bid him God -speed 'and to welcome the new minister. The retiring cleric would invariably say that though his heart ached at leaving his friends, he was consoled by the thought that Providence was sending them an abler and better man to take his place, At one of these functions an old lady burst into tears, and sobbed so loudly that the retiring minister said: "I must leave the platform to try to console ou.r distrekssed sister." Ike sat down beside her and patted her hand, saying that she would find all was for the best. But she, through her sobs, murmured: "I've been going to this church for fifty years, and I've been hearing that speech you just made every three years. They all say the next, man will be better. But it aint true.' They get worse and worse!'' * * + 4 The author recalls the visit to Toron-. to of the great Chinese statesman and soldier, Id Hung Chang. This. super - mandarin, instead of adopting Euro- pean clothes for his travels, retained allhis native pomp. When he went abroad he was taken about in a great gilded chair which, because of his bulk, demanded four lusty bearers, ' He brought his own food with him, Including great a g sat consignment of live ducks. Included in his food supply was a vast pile of clay cubes that look- ed, like cement bricks, Actually each contained an egg several years old, which he esteemed a great- delicacy. He was very genial and expansive to all, strangers presented to him. • His forst query, irrespective of sex, was: "How old are you?" and his second, "Have you any children?" MB HEAT HARD ON B Y No season of the year is sir danger- ous to the life of little ones as is the, summer. The excessive heat throws the little stomach out of order so quickly that unless prompt aid ie at hand, the baby may be beyond all huinan help before the mother realizes he is i11. Summer is the season when, diarrhoea, cholera infantum, dysentery and colic are most prevalent. Any of these troubles may prove deadly if not promptly treated. During the summer the mothers' best friend is Baby's Own Tablets. They. regulate the bowels, sweeten the stomach and keep baby healthy. The Tablets are sold by medicine •dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams'• Medicine Co., .Brockville, Ont. Kipiing's Technic. , Now ef thisffundamental Kipling the cardinal qualitiesare three, The first (a) is an overpowering passion for de- finition . . .' 1t hunger for certitude and system.. The second (b),is the ar- tistic counterpart.and imaginative in- strument of the :first a prodigious menta] capacity, namely, for enforcing :design, for dompelling coherence, for stamping insubstantial drearn•stuff in- to shapes as clear-cut and decisive as, newlymilled and minted metal discs. And the third (c), on the , physical plane, is the manual counterpart of these: a cunning craftsman's gift for fitting these crisp units intocomplex patterns, adjusting them like the works of a watch, with an exquisite ac- curacy,-perf'orming miracles of minute mechanical perfection. ,These are the three faculties, often bitted and strained, that form every- where' the • sinews of his work . . The rhythms run with a snap from stop. to step; every sentence is as straight as a string.; each has its,,self- containe tune. Prise ae one of them em out of its place and you feel it would' fall a clink, with _ t k leaving g a slot that would never close up as the holes do in wool- lier eeklier work, Rei it, Replaceand it lock Ps back like type in a form, fitting into the paragraph as theparagraph fits in- to the tele. There are noglides or grace -notes, or blown spray of sound. The rhythms must report them- selves promptly, prove their 'Validity, start afresh after the full estop.; Lack of faith, It you like—but also, it must be admitted, a marvellously unremit- ting keenness of craftsmanship. And it is the same with theoptical. integers as its third. Sudden scenes stud his page like inlaid stones. "The leisure- ly ocean all patterned with peacocks' eyes of foam.", "I swung the car to clear the turf, brushed along the edge of the wood, and turned in on the broad stone path to where the foun- tain basin, lay like one star-sapphire.— Dixon Scott, in "Men of Letters." • Kipling's Medal. To Iludyard Kipling has been award- ed the gold medal of the Royal Society of Literature, conferred first on Sir , Walter Scott and later on George Meredith and Thomas Hardy. In his reply to Lord .Balfour, chairman of the meeting, Mr. Kipling has made a clear- eyed and masterful appraisal of his ancient craft in which he- traces it— as he likes to back to the primordial beginnings, seeing each writer in his time, in that long succesion of theline royal, making a , bid for immortality with the power of the written word. He`has always heldd and defended a high concept of the writer's duty and responsibility, and he now avers that none had known what truth was till some man first told a story about an- other man. And he assigns to litera- ture the'• place' of the oldest of all the arts, mother of history, biography, philosophy and politics. It 'cannot be said that Kipling, great writer that he is, has always been able to realize in his own work that lofty standard to which in doctrine and in the artist's conscience he adheres. Few would prefer his latest short stories, with their cryptic phrases and their vague and blurred intent, to his explicit and brislomoving • earliest tales, such as "The Incarnation of Krishna "Mulvaney" or "The Courting of Dinah Shadd." In beauty, tender- ness and felicity of diction he has never surpassed "The, Brushwood Boy." He has written no finer poem than,. the Recessional„ or the dedica- tion of the "Barrack -Room Ballads,” produced d pr o as a young man. But he has made hie lasting place though he never penned another ddne3 -sts then he says, on the current occa- sioe,'that a dozen writers in 250 years are assured of their earthly immor takity, one feels that his own claim to be counted in that small number might be established with a majority of those who speak and read the tongue whose flexible appliance and capacity his writings supremely illustrate.

Guest. The Dentists Will Have a Busy Day—X-Ray Machines to be Kept Hot. The arrangements for the various activities connected with the Ontario Dental health Day to be held tan Wed- nesday, October 20th, are now well un- der way, and this dental health educa- tional effort promises to be a great success. This is the first time that an educational campaign of this kind has ever been attempted in Canada and the Hon. Dr. Godfrey, Minister of Health, and his Department, are to be congratulated for initiating this im- portant public health endeavor. The. fact that mouth infections and dental sepsis cause a vast .amount of ill health is now generally recognized and the- value of a movement which will tend to prevent tooth decay and pyorrhea will be appreciated by the general public. The popularity of'the effort is demonstrated by the fact that all the prominent health, educational and social welfare organizations in the province are co-operating in a most enthusiastic manner. One • of the activities being organized is the pro- viding of roviding,of free dental examination and advice; over a thousand dentists will part this have a p t survey and it will be extended to every.part of the pro In everysection wince. of Ontario. who edire willbe ab those w d s Ie to get the service and in a number of districts free free Xray pictures will also be avail- able. The general public educational cam- paign will consist of newspaper ar- tides, motion pictures and radio talks. Public meetings and mass meetings for school children will also be held. The servioe clubs are giving prizes' to the a children writing the best essays or pre; paring the best posters on Dental f Health. The merchants` are arranging for suitable window displays and Intel- ness concerns have offered to enclose dental health leaflets in the oommttni- cations sent out to their customers and clients, The Ontario Motion Picture Bureau is contributing the motion pic- ture fldms� and the various exchanges ri ti them to are ist bu the • d ng' theatres. This has been made possible through the courtesy of the Toronto Film Board, A short dental health film will be shown in eaoh of the larger hetOntario. D theatres in Deet el Health Concert programmes, including a short talk on the prevention of mouth dila eases, will be broadcasted from the radio stations.

Poison Ivy. y. Ivy poisoning is so prevaient this summer, it leads one to ask: How many people know this plant, "the worst vegetable skin poison in Ameri- ca?" Its Is native to Canada and is commonly found in hedges, in dry woods, along country roads and, all too often, even in .city parks. Poison Ivy is a low shrub. The leaf, 1. large, re- sembles that of the Virginia Creeper but is divided into.three distinct leaf- lets; it is of a bright green color which changes to anttlmna1 shades. Children are quick to recognize it, IC and should not go where it is liable to be found until tbey can recognize it and know the danger of touching it. In the city of Hamilton the Horticul- tural Society, cooperating with the School Medical Officer, supplied sir specimen of the plant to each of the city 'schools; this was used for teach- ing the children. to know the plant, and how to treat ivy poisoning. 'Cattle can eat poison ivy without any ill-effects, but dogs are poisoned by it. When a human being is affect- ed, it shows as an inflammation of the skin immediately or within a short time after coming in contact with the leaves, although same people are so susee tibIe that theyare affected if A they merely pass the plant and do not touch it. The poison can also be car- ried on clothing, tools, etc. What to de: Treatment must be prompt. Hot solution of baking soda, or vinegar, or.salt (4 tsp.- to 1 pint) are recommended, • as they are easy to get in any household. Good strong yellow laundry soap .(because of the antiseptic action of the potash) hi most helpful when used promptly' to wash the parts affected; it is .a wise Precaution to carry a piece of this kind of soap in your pocket when going for a tramp in the woods, and to use it freely after an outing. In severe cases, apply clean cloths soaked in hot boracaic acid (4 tsp. to 1 pint), changing frequently. Very severe cases should be seen by a doc- tor. ss ou of PIE ae rt o. to y a to s - ng t- do u rx� m e w. th. e s ut Keep Mlnard's Llnlment handy. Plane to Carry Fifty Soldiers.
