The Easter season is one of the ost joyous. Its Christian signifi- ance is joyous and aside from that he season is a joyous one. The long nter is past and spring is here, e season of singing birds, of spring ng flowers. It is natural to feel hat we ought to put the past aside; the past with its mistakes, its dis- couragements, its failures and its ' orries, and start anew.

The so- ciety's role will be to take 'over the business management of the Citi- zens' Band and to act as a buffer between that organization and the public. An important decision made was that membership fees will not be solicited. It was announced by Bandmaster Huckins that the Gode- -rich Band had received an invitation -from Col. A. F. Sturdy, 0. C. of Huron Regiment, to become the re- wonder that the Christian Church adopted the season of Easter and made of it a religious and sacred festival,' endeavouring to turn what had been a season of rejoicing into one of Christian joy. Old fashioned folk should be pleas- ed with the fashions this spring, for so many of them seem to` be a return of styles worn thirty or more years ago. The puffed 'sleeves and tight- fitting bodices; the flat little hats perched on top of the head, the loose long wristed gloves. It will take a lot of courage to don some of the styles shown, but usually there are sone styles which are not so ex- treme which suit the more moderate of us better. One thing seems sure, if those little flat hats become general hat pins, elastic (does anybody remember when women wore elastic on the hat to hold it on?) or a bow under the chin will be necessary. Personally we Iike a hat that will pull down on the head far enough to stay on without any trouble. —R13BEKA%I. gimental band and that the offer wag under consideration.

Edited by M.D., Associate Secretary GRANT FLE•MING, BATHS The bath -tub, as we know it, is a ...comparatively modern invention, but the ancient Greeks and Romans were quite familiar with baths. In those, days, there were public and private baths which were important social centres. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, recommended the use of • cold baths. A clean skin is desirable. A dirty skin is apt to be offensive to others. • Cleanliness of the skin enables it to function better, and so contributes to • the well-being of the body of which 'it is the outer covering. The application of cold to any part ' lessens the circulation in that part) but after the effects of the cold, 'have worn off, there is a rush of ' blood back into that part. The shoc!! of cold water causes rapid, irregular breathing for a short time, and in - 'creases the force of the heart beat. 'Obviously, _ cold baths are not suited to the very young, the very old, 'or those with hardened arteries. The young and healthy individual who finds that he reacts well to the 'brisk rub after a cold bath may en, joy this form of. bathing, There is no reason to think that cold baths make for health and resistance to disease. The cold bath should be avoided by those who do not react well to it and by those who suffer from any physical disorders. If the temperature of the bath is •practically the sante as the tempera - tune of the body; very little effect is produced on the body. Raising the temperature of the water caused the blood -vessels in the skin to dilate, the blood prsesure falls, the heart beats with greater rapidity, and the breathing. becomes more frequent. It appears that, for the majority of persons, a bath slightly warmer than the temperature 'of the body is the most desirable. Such a bath does not throw any strain upon weakened organs, or disturb the smooth run- ning of the body. The application of cold or heat hi one form or another to the whole or to a part of the body is a recognized and valuable form of treatment. The long -continued bath at body temper- ature is used to overcome the rest- lessness and excitability of those who are suffering from certain men- tal diseases. ' The hot bath Increases perspira- tion and so produces a temporary loss of weight. There is nothing which can be added to baths which will bring about a real reduction in weight. Weight lost from the hot bath is regained as soon as fluids are taken,' That the use of baths, is desirable from a standpoint of health, cleanli- ness and social relations is a reason- able conclusion. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian; Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter. PAGE Household Economics LOSES BEST TOOTH IN SCRAP Bunny, a prize-winning Persian pussy, lost one of his best teeth in a scrap with an alley cat some time ago. His owner took him to a To- rono orthcdonist and Bunny was sent home shortly with a brand new gold tooth of which he is said to be very proud.

McLean and will take possession immediately. Mr. Willis is favorably known in this district, having been in the butter -- making business for over 30 years. Several alterations will be made in the creamtry and a room set aside for egg grading. For the time be- ing Mr. Willis and his family will continue to live in Centralia. SEAFORTH: The clock in the tower en the Cardno Block, which has been famous as a time -keeper In Seaforth and district since 1877, ran down on Sunday night at 9.05 p.m. and will not be rewound. Mr. Card - no made this decision following the last council meeting when the annual payment of $40, which the town has been making towards the 'upkeep of the clock was questioned by some councillors as an extravagance. It was maintained that the post office clock was quite sufficient. Mr. Cardno points out that the $40 per year goes to Mr. A. Westcott for winding and looking after the :clock, and that the clock, rather than being an asset to him, is an expense, as he has to keep the tower in repair. —Kum Expositor.

GODERICH: Three local sports- men who went to Toronto on Satur, day to see the Maple Leaf -Rangers hockey game Monday are reluctantly and sheepishly telling their friends about having been taken for a ride by ticket scalpers outside the Maple Leaf stadium. Each parted with $0 plus tax and then saw very little of the genie. When they arrived only dollar tush seats were available and each made a purchase. On the way into the arena they were accosted by a ratan who nonchalantly told them he had just punccased a reserved seat from a boy for $G. He pointed to the boy and the trio promptly handed ever $15 to the lad, giving him their rush tickets. When they arrived at the turnstiles, they were told they had rush seats only and promptly ushered to a spot where it required field glasses to see the players on the ice. The man and the bey are missing. WINGHAM: The annual Public School concert was held in the town. hall on Thursday and Friday even- ings with a large attendance both nights. Since Prof. A. Anderton of Clinton was engaged by the School beard four years ago to teach music in the school, this has been an annual affair. With the co-operation he has received from the Principal A.

A hundred frosty nights or more Before the cuckoo comes. Still, you've the whole wide wintry sky To fold you, little brother.

He shall wait with holy pride Who has made a field his bride; Who has scattered seeds afar Shall hold converse with a star, Vivian Yelser Laramore REMINDER Friend, friend, You and I, who walked In the cool intimacies Of tall, old trees, And laughed and talked And were gravely still At will— Is this the end?

ONLY Something to live for came to the place, Something to die for maybe, Something to give even soy row a greed, And yet it was only a baby! Cooing, and laughter, and gurgles, and cries, Dimples from tenderest kisses, Chaos of hopes, and of raptures, and sighs, Chaos of fears and of blisses. Last year, like all years, the rose and the thorn• This year a wilderness maybe; But heaven stooped under the roc? on the morn That it brought them only a baby. • —Harriet P. Spofford. SIC THE OPEN ROAD Now the joys of the road are chiefly these: A crimson touch on the hardwood trees; A shadowyhighway cool and brown, Alluring up and enticing down. From rippled wate" to dappled swamp From purple glory to scarlet pomp; The tempter apple over the fence; The' cobweb bloom on the yellow quince; • The palish asters along the wood-- A,lyrie touch of the solitude; An idle noon, a bubbling spring, The, sea in the pine -tops murmuring; The broad gold wake of the afternoon The silent fleck of the cold new moon These are the joys of the open road— For him who travels without a load. —Bliss Carman. 1. MY CREED My creed? Yes, friend, I'll tell it you, Since you have asked me to define On what I build my hope of 'heaven. My creed? Yes, I can call it mine, Since it belongs to every man Who reaches upward toward the light, And trusts in God for guidance sure, And strength and will to do the right. You'll find it written down, my friend In that old Book upon the shelf: 'Tis "Love the Lord with all thine heart, And love thy neighbor as thy self." Not quite enough? 'Twas counted so By One who walked by Galilee. Christ's creed of love for God and man Is quite enough for you and me. —Jean Blewett. e=zib THE BROKE BRIGADE When the last string snaps and a man goes broke, He turns to the woods or the sea; He cuts clean loose from the home- bred folk, While love and honor go up like smoke, And life is a gamble and death' is a joke, And the universe good to see. There's a brand-new sort of a fate for him; They may languish early and late 'for him, The bird on the wing is a mate for him, And the hawk on the hunt goes free. Thera's the brown and the gloom of the forest track 'Where the deer go ghostly by; There's the starving camp and the deadweight pack The moose -hide lodge or the trap. per's shack And a wolf's fierce life in the pine woods black And the freedom of the sky. There's the plunging deck and the jarring screw, And the oilskins bright with foam, The stokehole's blaze and its naked crew, Or the topsails drenched with the Gulf Stream dew, And the sharp, salt breath of the landless blue, When a man forgets his home. 'We know it, my friends of the "broke brigade," Pals of the plain and sea; Single-handed and unafraid, The artists of life and the fools of trade, But we think we know how the game is played, And we know where it's best to be. There are some that may wait and pray for us; There is luck that never will stay for us; But the woods and the waves will make way for us, When the "broke brigade" goer free! -'Frank Lillie Pollock.

Still you find him, when breathless, burning Summer flames upon : square and street, When the fortunate one; of the earth are turning • Their thoughts to meadows 'and meadowsweet; For far away from the wide green valley, And the bramble patch where the whitethroat sings, Lazarus sweats in his crowded alley. Receiving his evil things. And all the time from a thousand rostrums Wise men preach upon him and his woes, Each with his bundle of noisy nos- trums Torn to tatters 'twist ayes and noes; Sage and Socialist, gush and glamour Yet little relief their wisdom brings For there's nothing for him out of all the clamor, Nothing but evil things. Royal commissions, creeds, convic- tions, Learnedly argue and write and speak, But the happy issue of his afflictions Lazarus waits for it week by week. Still he sees it to -day, to -morrow, In purposeless pavement wander- ings, Or dreams it, a huddled heap of son-, row, Receiving his evil things.

SERVICES The Canadian National and Cana- dian Pacific Railways have agreed, in principle, to pooling of competi- tive passengerservices wherever practicable. Detailed arrangements for making the pool effective, East and West, will take some time to complete, but in order to effect im- mediate economies the two compan- ies have arranged for a partial peeling of passenger service between Montreal and Toronto, and the pool- ing of all passenger service between Ottawa and Toronto, these cosolida- tions became effective April 2nd. An economy of well over half a million dollars per year will result from these initial developments in the pooling arrangements. The pooling arrangement is an ex- tension of the continued reduction in passenger service to meet the de- cline in passenger traffic. It is felt that the pooled services will provide ample facilities for all present re- quirements.
