He should study the matter, and deter- mine to take something, if it is net more than a new sample of his best cern. This corn he has developed; the strain differs from all others, and now is his chance of showing that he is not only alive, but a show man. Perhaps some things from the gar- den are worth having others look at --peppers, pears, plums, parsley fir the like. The thought of losing the prize should !not ,be uppermost.

According to the constitution resi- dent minieters are mainly the diroc- toi'nte and with the frequent chang- es in local pulpits followed by the devotion of the newly installed min- isters to their own work, the wont and plane of the Bible Society in the community has apparently been lost sight of.

Barn Fires Decrease, The lateness of the season this •year has resulted in a remarkable decrease in the number of barn tires in Ontario.

Itis pointed out by the fire marshal that this law number of fires due obviously to the fact that. very few barne had crops stored in them during June, proved that the majority of barn lives result from spontaneous combustion, TRE BRUSSELS POST Brussels United Church REV.

Warning that positive danger to vision lies in the visor cap eyeshade, was given by Dr. Joseph H. O'Neil, president of the Massachusetts Soc- iety of Optometrists, in Boston. He said that photophobia, a painful con- dition of the retina, would result from promiscuous wearing of the eye -shades which have gained wide popularity fron the pictured success of such tennis stare as Miss Helen Wills and other athletes. By the use of the shades under normal conditions rays of light that aro necessary to produce a healthy stimulus to the eye are cut off, and the eye soon loses its ability to function as nature intended" Dr. O'Neil said. These eye -shades have been sold and used in largo numbers in Brussels. In fact, the headgear with its shade at- tachment is a very common eight rig both boys anti girls here on the streets. Small Envelopes. With reference to the use of small carols and . envelopes in the .nails, Postmaster Scott pointed out that from time to time efforts have been made to discourage the use of such, Howefer, it has been found that while these cards and envelopes are sold they will continue in use to a very largo extent, As a result of such cards and envelopes the pest office cancellation mark fi eqc entry falls on the. address, partially oblit- erating it, with the possibilty that the article may be rnis-delivered or at least delayed.. Also there is not sufficient space for directions for orwarding, etc. in cases where it is nacnstiory to forward such matter in order to reach the addresses. Emph- asis was laid on the fact that there !s a greater possibility of loss as such cards or envelopes are apt to fall out of the bundles rn which they are tied, Envelopes or cards smaller than size, 8 inches by 4 inches should not theft - fore be used, Life's Lessons LHS arc born with all their life lessons learned.
