SIZE 354 BOTTL£ e3 The World's Best Seller (Christian Science Monitor) The Bible continues to be the world's best seller among all pub- lished books, and its distribution, for which there are many unique agen- cies, increases year by Year. The Government of Mexico has published the New Testament as a state docu- ment, which it has freely distributed among the citizens of that country. The Gideons, a familiar name for the Christian Commercial Travelers' Association, has placed nearly 900,- 000 B ibles in hotel rooms in the United States, and fully expects to cross the million mark by midsum- mer. The New York Bible Society reports that it too has placed a large number of Bibles in hotel rooms to give the traveler absent from home if he is so inclined, a chance to read the sacred Scriptures. So altogether worthy is this pur- pose to make the Bible easily acces- sible to the traveler that it comes with a shock of surprise to learn that there is an organized movement against it. Yet it is reported that the "American Anti -Bible Society" in its efforts to destroy confidence in bhe sacred Scriptures has begun a delib- erate campaign to remove the Bible from hotel rooms and othe rpublic places. A large sum has been raised for the purpose of carrying on this campaign, and already literature ad- verse to the Bible is being sent to every hotel proprietor and to com- mercial travelers. In additional, each member of this society is obliged to place in every Bible he may chance upon. pictures of bhe patriarchs and prophets with 'scraps of alleged biography, in the main derogatory. To understand the motive which prompts such activity is difficult. It cannot he carried on in the name of freedom, for surely no traveler is under the slightest ob- ligation to read the Bible he finds in his room. It is put there to offer the opportunity to read, not to com- pel its reading. Yet these ardent dis- believers would even deprive the traveler of the opportunity to read the most widely distributed and most commonly read book in the world. In proof of its wide circulation, the American Bible Society reports that in its 111 years of existence, it ha sdistributed more than 184,000,- 000 copies of the Scriptures, trans- lated into 168 languages. It seems that the society which undertakes to dam this stream has entered upon a large enterprise. The authorities 1 of the Bible Society evince no alarm lover the situation, but they are nev- ertheless taking wise cognizance of the fact as an interesting phonom- enon of bhe turbulence of the pres- ent-day thought. Rules for the Regulation of Happy Homes We hear a great deal about dom- estic infelicities of one kind and an- other, and undoubtedly the effort's of both husband and wife are neces- sary to avoid of the game, even tho- ugh the conduct of the other is ex- emplary, and expect to find it a hap- py one. That is because it isn't fair, and you cannot have a succes- sful partnership of any kind without fair dealing. "R.D.F." wrote asking for some "Commandments for Wives," I think, bat these, sent very kindly by "Adnnac," are for both wives and husbands, a set for each, They were drawn up by Mr. Leonard McGee. Attorney -in -Chief of the Legal Aid Society, which handles 4,000 cases of domestic difficulties each year. They are commandments which, if observed with reasonable faithfulness by both husbands and wives, should ensure a great many more happy homes: COMMANDMENTS FOR WIVES. 1. Do not be extravagant. 2. Keep your home clean. 8. Do not permit your person to become unattractive. 4. Do not receive attentions from other men. 5. Do not resent reasonable dis- cipline of children by their father. 6.

Do not disparage your husband. 9. Smile. Be attentive in little things. 10. Be tactful; be femanine. COMMANDMENTS FOR MEN. 1 1. Be generous according to your means. 2-. Do not interfere with a woman in the management of purely dom- estic affairs. 8. Be cheerful. • Nothing reacts more surely on the nerves of a tired woman to engender suspicion and ill -temper than the homecoming of a gloomy, taciturn husband. 1 4. Be considerate. 5. Make love to your wife. 6. Do not scold. 7. Establish your own home, if pos- sible, remote from your wife's and your own immediate families, 8. Do not keep a lodger. 9.

(:.lana do's Stnt.ne as Individual Nation Within Empire Welcomed. Writing 00 "The N"w lnterm ileital Statue of Canada" in the 1t' tie des deux Mendes," Andre Siegfried eat- phasizes the long way the Dominion rias Ravelled since, Its early days as a colony, "The new relatlunahip c'xlatlrlg be- tween Canada and England deems to be nothing but n personal union un- der the same sovereign," he says. "Every phase of subordination seems 10 be erased, leaving two stales of equal status, This new statute brought forth, 111 our relations with England, has certain consequeunes: for exam- ple, the Governor-General, although he remained a representative of the crown, ceased to be a British agent; Great Britain's signa1urr maid no longer influence Canada; Chanak and Lausanne prove .hat we have taken 11p the new situation in a serious manner. "Our place In the soelety of na- ttone is one of a country politically independent, and if fur signature, in the documents of the society, is often soon with that of England, they are not dependent one in the other. "We have also acdutrid during the last ten years certain esretltial or- gans necessary to an 1r:depende•nt country, and thls Is evident If our relations with foreign countries are coii.rldered. It is not enough for a people to cull itself a nation; it must be recognized as such by foreign countries, This is what has happened with regards to Canada, during the last few years and In a most admir- able fashion. For every legation cre- ated by Canada, we have received the came in return. The United Stakes, France, Japan, have already or will soon have their Ministers at Ottawa, and Great Britain herself will send a high commissioner, who will be Bri- tain's agent in Canada." From this evolution, says Mr. Sieg- fried, the Empire draws "new sources of life and moral unity, but her poli- tical unity belongs to the past." "Europe, and France especially, cannot help but welcome with the greatest joy, thla official entry of Can- ada into the international concert of powers. It le, we must admit, a worthy welcome to our country, and the quality of this gesture reveals what attention Is being paid, in France, to the political evolution of Canada. In France, Canada is highly thought of; we are e:losely watched; we are loved and admired and the best mark of this admiration would be the nomination, as first Minister of France to Canada, of M. Daniel Ser- ruys, a university graduate, who was thrown into the world of commerce and diplomacy by the reactions of the war and who Is making a name for himself wherever he Is to be tound.'t ANTIQUES ON TRIAL. London Has a "High Court of Jus- tice" to Protect Collectors. A "High Court of Justice" for an- tique dealers to settle disputes re- garding the value, age, or genuine- ness of curios and objects of art, is held in the West End of London at regular Intervals, Sometimes as many as twenty judges, including leading experts on antique furniture, pictures, china, and other specialized branches of the trade, attend to hear appeals. Members of the British Antique Dealers' Association, as well as pri- vate collectors who buy their treas- ures through members, are entitled to appeal to the novel tribunal, and if necessary the judges have the power to call in independent experts to deal with difficult cases. The articles In dispute are sent to the court as "exhibits," where they sometimes retuain for several days for careful scrutiny. The object of this court, which was established twelve years ago, is to protect collectors from fraudulent cu- rio merchants, and at the same time to safeguard the Interest of genuine dealers, Hoi'o Endeth tho Lesson. Mr. Graham Moffat, the Scottish actor and author of "aunty Pulls the Strings," in his book, "The Pawky Scot," relates an anecdote that Indi- cates religion and thrift can be un- easy partners: "A Canadian farmer of Scottish extraction kept up the religious traditions of his race by reading each morning to his family and his field workers a consecutive chapter of the Bible. One fine day In the harvesCmg season, when time was precious, he struck the sixth chapter of lst Chronicles, which con- sists of elghty-one verses of genea- logical names. He droned on till he came to:— "'And Shallum begat Hilklah, and Hilklah begat Azariah, and Azariah begat Seralah, and Seraiah began Jehozadak.' "There he paused and looked over the leaf.

There are many youngsters suffer• ing trent afflictions of the spine and joints, whom only many long months can restore to health and strength, Medical Gare will help; but what they principally need is fresh air and sunshine. Hitherto the Hospital for Sick Children has looked after such children in an Institution close by a city piaygrounds where more fortunate boys end 5irls enluy their sports. imagine their plight, lying month after month listening to the shouts and laughter of other children. In October last, the Hospital for Sick Children opened its country annex devoted to youngsters whose one chance to have their limbs straightened or their bodies built up must be in some place where they have sunshine and fresh air plus nursing care and medical attention. On a height of land near Weston, away from the murk of the city, children are winning their way back to health in an enviromnent of sun. shine, pure breezes and quiet. The country hospital at Thistle - town Is a God -send for children whom It will take a long time to cure.
