"Industry is, in itself and when
properly chosen, delightful and pro-
fitable to the worker; and when your
toil has been a pleasure you have not
-earned money merely, but money,
health, delight and moral profit, all
in ,one"
—Robert Louis Stevenson.
The circumstances of the past few
years, which we ate glad to hear
from all sides is now improving,
have at least taught us that work is
not a curse, as many have always
seemed to regard it, but a blessing.
What would many thousands of
young people in Canada not give to
be assured at this moment of steady,
remunerative work, a chance to toil
long hours •each day and by this
means enter, again into a blissful
state 'of independence? No one who
has not experienced it, personally or
'by the experience of one's own near-
est and dearest, can perhaps even
imagine what it is like to eat the
bread of charity but it seems to me
that for a generation in this country
end no less in other countries, work
will be considered a boon rattler than
a bug -bear. Jobs will not be so
lightly thrown aside nor so scratch-
ily and grudgingly done, and there
will likely be more attention paid to
studying •cno's work with a view to
improving individual service,

There has been much talk lately
about shorter hours for labor, with a
view of passing work around and
supplying more people. It has al-
ways 'seemed to me that while some
people have very little to do others
always have too much. Many of us,
no doubt, could do with fewer hours
of labor and could very profitably
and pleasantly spend a few more
hours of leisure in the week. But
the work is there and must be done.
But if a scheme can be worked out
whereby the work ,of the world can
be done with fewer hours of labor
for all, while the remuneration is
sufficient to provide a comfortable
living and some provision for old
age, and if we have all learned to use
,cur leisure sensibly and wisely, this.
old world ought to be just that much
better a place in which to live.
To have some congenial work to
occupy a reasonable portion of one's
time, to have as a return for that
labor sufficient to live and to meet
all legitimate obligations, and to
have a reasonable amount of leisure
to indulge one's hobby, to assist any -
0110 lose favored or to engage in same
=remunerative work which needs
doing, seems to me to be about the
ideal existence, if ane has health
and a spirit of cheerfulness.
"I do not ask for anything more
than I have," a man, who is not
wealthy in this world's goods, said
to me not so very long ago. "I have
everything I need, good health, work
which I can do and I am perfectly
happy." I thought that a wonder-
fully fortunate frame of mind to be
in and that if more people were in it
this would be a happier world. Of
course, youth must strive to gain a
better place, that is youth's prerog-
ative, and but for that ambition of
youth to learn, to achieve, there
would be no progress. And one
must ever be learning, trying to at-
tain to something which is just be-

The saliva not only acts as a dig-
estive fluid but it also dissolves the
food and so makes it easier to swal-
1ow. In addition, the saliva keeps
the mouth clean and lubricates the
parts. A dry mouth is uncomfott-
able and interferes with speech.
Passing dawn the gullet, the food
reaches the stomach. The stomach
also waters at the sight and smell of
food, and as a result of the taste of
foodin the mouth. Gastric juice is
therefore ready in the stomach to
continue the process of digestion,
The gastric juice is the only body
fluid which is acid.` The cells lining
the stomach are capable of resisting
the effects of this acid fluid. The,
normal stomach is acid or sour.
The flow of•gastric juice is inter-
fered with by emotional upsets. This
is one reason why unpleasant or ir-

GODERICH: Wednesday of last
week was the first of the weekly'
half -holidays of the season for the
business men—or some of then). It
was a 'raw, cold day and those who
had the half -holiday were not envied
to any extent by those who stuck to
business. It was different this
week; for Wednesday was a lovely
spring day, just the sort of day to
coax a man out into his garden or
down to the water or out to the
country.. Not all the business places
are observing the half -holiday. The
grocers and the butchers in partic-
ular have been unabie to come to an
agreement for closing,

THEY TRAVEL FASTER THAN
THEIR ANCESTORS
An article on "Royal Trains" pub-
lished recently in the' Canadian Na-
tional railway Magazine recalls
that Queen Viotorie, was unshakable
in her conviction that safety in train
travel could not be guaranteed at a
speed of more than 40.mtles an hour.
The. then Shah of'Persia was equally
convinced that10miles an lam was
the limit of safety, but Their Majes-
ties, ISing George • and Queen Mary,
as long ago ae 1908 travelled 245 1-2
miles in less than four hours between
Paddington and Plymouth and their
train touched nose than $0 .miles an
i
hour. And there think of the Prince
of Wales and his flying records.'

Bringing heaven so near.

And dead hopes of the past.
May we rise to heights of beauty.

MAY IS BUILDING HER HOUSE
May iii building her house. With ap-
ple blooms
She is roofing over the glimmering
• rooms.
Of the oak and the beech she builded
- its beans,
And, spinning all day at her secret
looms,
With arras of leaves and wind -sway-
ed wall
She pictureth over, and peopleth it
all
With echoes and dreams,
And singing of streams.
May is buildig her house. Of petal
and blade
Of the roots of the oak is the flooring
made,
With a carpet ef.mossess and
lichen and clover,
Each small miracle over and
over,
And tender, traveling green things
strayed.
Her -windows, the morning and even-
ing star,
And her rustling doorways ever ajar
With the coning and going-
Of
oingOf fair things blowing,
The thresholds of the four winds are.
May is building her house. From the
• dost of things
She is making the songs and the flow'
et:s and the wings;
From October's tossed and trodden
gold
She is malting the young year out
of the old;
Yet out of the winter's flying
sleet
Sho is making all the summer
sweet,
And the brown leaves spurned of
November's feet
She is changing back again to
Spring's.

CHEAP RATES TO ANT) FROM
WEST
A remarlcablc reduction in railway
passenger fares between eastern and
westerly Canada and vice -versa, with
Port Arthur as the dividing line,
which will benefit enormously the
hone visitor and others desiring to
travel during the early summer has
been announced at the offices ..f
the Canadian Pacific and Canadian
National Railways. The announce-
ment stresses the fact that con-
meicing May 31st, and continuing
to June 15th, inclusive, ticket offices
of the two railways will sell special
bargain rail coach trips to points
west of Pott Arthur and as far as
Vancouver and Victoria, B. C., for a
rate of one cent per mile each di-
rection. The inclusive selling dates
from western Canada to the east
will be from May 24 to June 8. The
limit of each ticket will be thirty
days from date of sale. Tickets are
good only in coaches and eolonist
cars, but they will be honored in
tourist sleeping cars subject to a
slight extra charge in addition to
the orcliiiary tourist sleeping charge.
Thus the return fare to Winnipeg
will be in the vicinity of twenty-
five dollars. This is approximately
one-third of the ordinary return
fare and is almost thirty per cent
less than the fare charged in the old
days of the farm labourers excur-
sions. Stop -overs are permitted at
all points en route west of Port Ar-
thur or east, as the case inay be.
Tickets are only good in Canada via
the same line in both directions.
They are not good an the Great
Lakes.' Dining ears will be carried
on all trains from Toronto with meals
served at a 1a taste prices. Full in-
formation can be obtained from any
Canadian National or Caadian Pae-
tfic`agent.
