FACTORY LIGHTING THAT

PAYS BIS:, IVIDENDS
YOUR lighting charge becomes a profit -maker
instead of a profit -taker when you screw.
HYDRO Gal Filled Lamps into every lamp
socket in your factory.
More light for the same money is bne reason.
Better light—More like daylight—is the BIG
reason.
HYDRO Gas .Pilled Lamps enable your esu,
ployees to work better and faster withoutstrain-
ing their eyes. You get less "rejects.,!.'' Con-
sequently there's less rnhterial wasted and less
time spent in unproductive labor.
Even if HYDRO Gas Filled Lamps used more
electricity they'd be worth the extra cost. They
actually consume but little current.
You should investigate HYDRO Gas Filled
Lamps if the responsibility of factory production
rests on you. We can show you how to increase
results without a proportionate increase in cost.
Call at the Hydro Shop for a dciiiorst • ttirn that
proves the merits of HYDRO Gas Filled Lamps.

THE "1IOME" PAPER

that the writer, who is unknown, had

It's printed old-fasbislned and homely,

The postman, ir1 seoyn, throws it

But I scan every line that it offers.

Tlurougli the vista of years, through
youth's pleasure and fears,

The -death of 'Tl
a girl T once courted,
The growth of a firm I once peered,
The rise of a friend I. love to com-
mend,
The fall of a man I revered.
As 1 read'I drift dreamily backward
To the days when to live was a joy,
I think I pore, till the city's dull roar
Glows faint and again I'm a boy.
Rare per'fu111e of green country by-

Fair music of 'flowers and bees,

streets leading cloth
To the creek and the low -bending

Around 111° the fortis of my comrades
About us earth's glories unfurled,
Hach heart undefiled, with the faith

Looking forth to a place in the world,

Applauding each gain and regretting

For the sake of the days long ago.

IS THIS A DANIEL COME?
Prof. Albert P. Porta, a weather
prophot living „in . St. Paul, Minn.,
di
makes some re predictions con-
cerning next winter. Ho says:
"Owing to the strange grouping of
she mighty planets such as has not
been made in a score of centuries,
the United States next December will
be swept by the most terrific weather
cataclysm experienced since human
history began.
"It will be caused by the hugest
seri spots on record—a sun spot that
will be visible to the naked eye.
"Since man first began to make re-
cords of events no sun spot has been
large enough to be seen Without the
aid of instruments. This one will be.
"The sun spot that will appear Dec.
17 1919, will be a vast wound in the
side of the sun.
"It will be a gigantic explosion of
flaming gases, leaping hundreds of
thousands of miles out into space.
It will have a crater large enough to
engulf the earth, much as Vesuvius
alight engulf a football. -
"Suell a sunspot will be rich enough
in electro- nagnetic energy to fling
the atmosphere of our planet into dis-
turbance without precedent or paral-
lel,
"There will be hurricanes, light-
ning', eo]lossalrains.
"It will be weeks before the earth
will regain its normal weather con-
ditions.
"There will also be gigantic lava
eruptions, great earthquakes, to say
nothing of floods and fearful cold."
CANADIAN ADVANTAGE IN
CHILLED MEAT TRADE
In the opinion of Mr, 1'1. S. Arkell,
Live Stock Commissioner, who spent
-several weeks in- Europe during the
past; summer studying the market
situation, Canada cannot compete
with the Argentine and Australia in
frozen meat. It was learned, how-
ever, that owing to the shorter haul,
Canada has an advantage in the ex-
port of chilled meat. In a statement
of Mar. Arkell that appears in The
Agricultural Gazette for October, the
difference in prices in favour of chill-
ed moat is -frons one shilling to two
shillings per pound. Canadian pack-
ers, it is pointed out, are thoroughly
investigating this trade,,,and prepar-
ing, themselves for it; when the proper
moment arrives. The production of a
sufficient quantity of high class meth
will alone make this trade possible.
Mr, Arkell further points out that
the cattle business of Canada can be
made a great success if we set our-
selves seriously and with determina-
tion to the task. Otherwise it will
prove a dismal failure. In this btis]-
ness, more than in any other the
channels of distribution must be
Widened. In this the producers them-
selves have an important part to play;
NEARLY 3,400 I'i1LLPi),
Ili Ontario last year•, the lives of
3,880 persons were chtlnlec1 by con-
sumption, This is all the more ter-
rible because most: of them might
have been saved ilacl they beet

koka Peeo Hospital for Consump-

IT WAS A "LONG CRY".
You should speak distinctly but not
too loudly when talking over the tele-
phone. Manypeople use the tele-
phone as if they had no confidence
in its carrying power. A story, ill-
ustrating this is told of the late Hon.
lames Duff and the late Sir James
Whitney. Mr, Duff used to shout
elver the telephone, and one quiet sum-
mer day he was on the phone, and
his shouting rang along the corridors
and disturbed Sir James in his office.
"What on earth is all the racket a-
bout?" demanded the Premier. "It
is Mr. Duff, sir," replied a clerk. "He
is talking to his wife up in the County
of Simcoe." "He is, eh?" remarked
Sir James. "Well why doesn't he use
the telephone?"
