We have just met a man who told us that he
bad a touch" of the Influenza, He took a drink
of something hot,got into bed, he told us and was
as fire as a fuddle next morning. He was lucky.
Most people who have the !nfluenza axe laid up

Men a cold in the head and that old graveled

MISSED THE REAL ITEMS
Students of Western University took very
seriously a cut of $2250,000 in the annual grant
that instituition. There were parades and meet-
ings of protest, all for the purpose of making it
known that Premier Hepburn had done a wrong
thing.
One cif the young ladies made au address, and
She was a former sub -perfect, She spoke about
the need of education, and was certain it should
not be for the rich alone. 'Coming toward the
.enol of her message she said this;
',Surely a government which claims to have
a surplus of $285)000 would not deprive the elec-
torate of a suitable education. merely to show such
a surplus."
It a university training does any one thing it
should have the effect of causing students to
gather together fadts--e1L the Pacts—on any
given subject before coming to a decision, The
young lady in London clearly gave the impression
tbat Mr. Hepburn 'was cutting the grant to 'West-
ern
estern in. order that he might show a surplus, She
was wrong when she palmed beside that surplus
and leaned eginst it. It really means little
and i5 far removed from giving anything like an
adequate ptdttere of provincial finances,
We would anbicLpate that one with the bene-
fit of advanced• education would have browsed
among the statistics and arrived at the major
ila.obs:
The increase: in the gross debt for the year
:amounted to $37,500,000.
The debt of the province et the 'moment stands
-at $596,884,631.
Had the protect speaker seriously considered
'these figures we doubt whether eine wane, nave
been oarnted away'y the slight fact that a surplus
of $285,000 hadbeen found in the year's

KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS SMALL
MAY BE YOUR OWN FAULT
(Durhwan 'Chronicle)
A writer in a current magazine undertook to
tell his public why many a sena]] •business stage
8�1'11a31;' and (sones to the t'nnclusloe they never
exl;and because they are throttled et. the shirt
by nsizmanagelneli't and the desire to do "big''
things rather than cultivate the entailer 1111510095
which is always at liana in tlteh owu eomrnuuity.
,Like money, where eau watelt tire nickels and
let the .dollars take care of themselves, business
is pretty much ou the carne plane, Look after
the little things and •til'ey will soon grow bigger'
Pity attention and gile service to Your smaller•'
cunworn508 and you need never worry about the
bigger buyerts. 't'her'e Are more little ones,
anyway, and many mickles make a hackle,
Courtesy is another business getter. It
never hurts cue to ge civil and to wait upon
people. There is no place for selfishness in. 'a
bnsinees er a community that events to expend.
Grouchiness and suceeva' simply do not mix, but
!hers are many who seem never to bave found
this out. Chances are they blame their failure
on hard luok or circumstances when it is nothing
more than their own stupidity,
A solid business cannot be built overnight,
Too many expect this and seem n,00ipinesed when
they fail. Adequate capital is necessary in a
successful business, brut even this will not award
off the defeat caused by lack of courtesy. Most
people like to know their trade is appreicated and
must buyers are what one .might,, term "little"
buyers. Pay attention to them and you should
succeed.

LET'S WALK
King George recently made public appeal fox
greater safety on the higruways of Great Britain.
His message reads "Every day 600 citizens are
killed or injured on. our roads, mostly because of
somebody's thougtb,lessness. This message to
you is the commencement of the national road
safety campaign to reduce these dreadful
casualties. To avoid accidents, he courteous
and alert. Give special ooneideretion, to the
aged, the infirm, and the verp young. The
highway code Ls a code of road spanner, Let
us all loyally observe it, and make the spirit
of goodwill the keynote of our behaviour on' the
roads,"
'While this message is addressed to motorists
of Great Britain, it is equally applicable to Ontario
motorists. Just why is it that when a person
gains' control cif a steering wheel be 15 inflected
with aspirit of recklessness? His, thought are
to get to his destination' as Soon as he possibly,
ca -u. When we go .about our daily ,pursuits on'
feat we WALK. Practicality each one of us is
Possessed with the power to run, and if not to
tun, at least to engage in a "dog trot," yet we
see vent'' few people running along our streets)
and mine times out of ten we are in as' much of a
burly then as, when we are in an automobile.
We make the excuse that it is the times in'
which we Live that lead• to the high speeds when!
driving a car. Yet when we are on our feeu
we never 'think 0f that. When we walk we
travel in "low gear," yet we can with yet'y little
added effort, speed this. up, but we do not do se.
When then ie it necessary to travel at high speed
whew in a car?
When we meet an individual on a sidewalk
we do not debate as to who has the right of way.
We do not wonder what he is doing In the
middle of the sidewalk, but merely move over
to pass, le a person turns a carver in front of
us we do not wonder why he did not signal. A
few of the rules that we unconsciously use In
ti evening about our sidewalks.
