KILLED ON
A HOLIDAY
United Stales. had a holiday long-
er
onger than usual for Memorial Day.
That day is set aside to honor the
memory of the nation's soldiers.
and there are usually -services and
decorations of graves.
This• year the- holiday wee of 72
hours' dursttion, three full days of it
—Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
But of entree the people did not
stay at home, visit cemeteries 011(1
contemplate on the heroism of their
soldier dead. They had other
matters to wluich they attended.
Chief among these other natters
was the one which can be culled
"going places."
Reports are slow at coming 'n
this' year, gut sh. far the records
show 140 people were killed in
traffle accidents and 5S were
drowned. 1t is explained' that traf-
fic and drownings• are rather clrlsely
related because people travel in
cars to water resorts where, they
know nothing of the depths and

WASHING ON
THE SIDE PORCH
?in a farm magazine we notified
a latter telling of some changes
which one lady had Reade in her
letoheu arrangements. She Put tt
this' way;
"'When we 11ocdded to have ran -
Bing water in the house I arranged
to have a pipe with a tap on the
end go 'through the wall to the
1)11(10 porch where the men aleaye
did their washing in the summer
timLe wheel they came 1.11 from
work. 04 is so fixed we can shut It
off for cold weather, bet it serve-
a good purpose as' they can wash
there and get the most of the ctOrt
off in the cold water and it saves It
lot of confusion in the kitchen just
at meal tion."
Never wast there anything like
that on the Tenth Concession,
There wee' tite ten wash dish on the
Side Dora. and' there was' the roller
towel out thele too and there 3a -e
a big raliu barrel at the wirier o:

EDUCATION
can bring temperance !
Wherever and whenever it has been tried, prohi-
bition has failed ... anyone who is capable of
learning from experience must realize by now that
people cannot be made good by law.
Yet there is a constant flow of propaganda seek-
ing to prejudice the public against the present
sensible system of government control.
It is better to educate. the individual in self-
discipline and self-control than to attempt .im-
possible prohibitions.
Such education is the object of this series of ad-
vertisements. We sincerely commend it to those
genuinely interested in the cause of temperance.

A LETTER FROM DICKENS
"I am certain that if I had been at Mr. Fuzzi-
wig's ball I should have taken a little negus
— and possibly not a little beer and been
none the worse for it, in heart or head. I am
very sure that the working people of this
country have not too many household en-
joyments, and I could not, in my fancy or in
actual deed deprive them of this one when it
is innocently shared. Neither do I see why I
should deny it to myself."
—CHARLES DICKENS

to references to drinking in his boot's.
