Christmas for 1920 has gone but
it is a good thing to carry the Xmas

'We are soon to seal the history

the success depends upon self.
There is no indication that. the

The fact that B. W. F. Beavers has
been returned to the' ree'0 chair

the confidence the citizens have in

a source of satisfaction and inspira-
tion.

READ THIS! COST OF
NEWSPAPERS SOARING.
At a time when the public are ex-
pecting that prices on all connuodi-
ties are on the toboggan slide, the
Toronto Daily Star announces an in-
crease in its subscription rate from
$4.00 to $5.00.
Newspaper readers are familiar
with the fact that verygreat increas-
es have taken place in the cost of
paper during the past four years,
and that publishers of newspapers in
Canada and throughout the world
have been obliged in consequence to
increase their subscription prices.
In 1914 the price of newsprint in
Canada was $36.00 a ton.
For the last quarter of 1920. it is
$100 a ton.
After the 1st of January, 1921, the
` price will be $130 a ton.
In 1914 the white paper used in
one copy of the Daily Star for one
year cost the publishers of The Star
$2.05.
In 1920 the cost has risen to $5.75.
For the first quarter of 1921 there
will be a much higher cost in accord-
ance with the higher price of paper.
There was skating on the ice above

THE MEASURE OF SUCCESS.
(Boys' Life.)
It isn't the 41st of the clothes that
you wear,
Nor the stuff out of which they
are made, ' •
Though clasen with. taste and festid-
fou.are
And itrisn't . the price that you
paid;
It isn't the size of your pile in the
bank,,
Nor the number of acres you own,
It isn't a question of prestige or
rank,
Nor of sinews and muscle and
bone;
It isn't the servants that come at
your call,
It isn't the . things you possess,
Whether many or little -or nothing
at all,
It's service that measures suecess.
It isn't a question. of name, or of
length,
Of an ancestral pedigree,
Nor a question of mental vigor or
, strength,
Nor a question of social degree;
It isn't a question of city or town,
Nor a question of doctrine or
creed,
It is'nt a question of fame or re-
nown,
Nor a question of valorous deed;
But he who makes somebody happy
each day,
And he who gives heed to dis-
tress,
Will find satisfaction the richest of
pay,
For it's service that measures suc-
cess.

Fletcher's Castoria is strictly a remedy for Infants and Children,
Foods are specially prepared for babies, .A baby's medicine
i is even more essential for Baby. Remedies primarily prepared
for grown-ups are not interchangeable. It was the need .at
a remedy for the common ailments of Infants and Children
that brought Castoria before the publi6 after years of research,
and no claim has been made for it that its use for over 30
years has not proven.
What is C S ORIS
Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Drops and Soothing Syrups.. It is pleasant. it contains
neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
been in constant use for the,relicf of Constipation, Flatulency.,
Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverishness arising
therefrom, - and by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids
