If -we were progressing as fast and each generation were as much -wiser than the last as modern youth imagines this old world would have gone a much greater distance than it has the past few million years. But the fact is that the hu- man race improves -very slowly. We are not so much wiser or better than our grandfathers or great-grand- fathers were. This thought was brought to my mind by the similarity in many of the fashions of today with those of years ago, Of course the modern girl does not wear nearly so many garments as her 'mother or grand- mother nor is there as much nutter - in the ones she floes wear.

Edited by GRANT FLEMING, M.A., Associate Secretary PYORRHOEA It was John Hunter, the famous .English surgeon of the eighteenth century, who first directed attention to the general 111 effects which come front an infected mouth. Infection or • the mouth, in the form of pyorrhoea, is not a new condition, for we are told ' that the most ancient skulls diseov ered show evidence of this_condition. Pyorrhoea is an infection of the • gurus. Pus accumulates, the tissues around the teeth break down, and the teeth become loose. The normal glans are pink and so are the little points of tissue between the teeth. One of 'the earliest signs of disease is when the color of these points of tissue changes. Later, the gums become swollen and spongy, bleeding readily. In well-developed cases, the guns are retracted, with the result that the teeth appear un- duly long; the gums are red and bleed easily, and around•their margin there is a yellowish pus. The breath , is unpleasant, there is a bad taste in the mouth and digestion is frequent- " ly upset. In addition, there may be other general body 'disorders due to the absorption of pus. The beginnings of phorrhoea may ' he traced back, in many oases, to is - , citation of the gums. This may -re- r. stilt from the accumulation of tartar, letter. poor fillings or ill-fitting crowns or bridges, or the use of toothpicks. If the teeth do not meet properly in bit- ing, or if teeth have been lost and not been replaced, there may be irriation to the gums because of unequal dis- tribution of pressure from the bite. The prevention of pyorrhoea lies in proper care of the mouth. This be- gins with the use of a well-balanced diet, andthe chewing of foods on both sides of the mouth, because such chewing helps to keep the gums heal- thy, The gums should be brushed night and morning, as aro the teeth, in order to keep them clean and to stimulate the circulation. Toothpicks should not be used. , Regular visits should be made to the dentist for the cleansing of the teeth, for fillings and corrections of any dental defects. Proper dental work is necessary insurance against an unhealthy mouth. Sf pyrorrhoca does develop, it hould he treated at once. Not only is it a question of preserving the teeth, but there is always the consideration of possible ill effects upon the body as a whole.

In that part of Ontario lying south of the French and Mattawa Rivers Rivers and also including all Georgian themselves down with clothing in the years gone by. What possible sense was there in wearing a skirt which measured five or seven yards about' the hem, completely lined from hem to waist band, with a dust ruffle a- round the bottom, and then a couple of petticoats under that? Oh, in the way of clothing women have made a good deal of progress even in the last twenty-five or thirty years. But it is interesting '(not to say a little disturbing) to see how, the fashions are vearing around to some of those worn years ago. Taker, for instance, hats. For a time we could not get one to come down far enough on the head. We enveloped aur heads in hats like bushel baskets. I carne across one of mine once a year or so ago, a fearful and won- derful creation. I wondered how.,, any- one could have been so silly as to make it and when made how anyone could be so silly and so courageous as to wear it. Then the hat shrank until it fitted the head like a glove, only it still carne down to completely. cover the head and upper part of the face. This was very comfortable headgear—that is, it was if you could get one large enough to fit your head comfortably—I seldom could. But Iook at the hats now? All summer we've been wearing hats tilted up on the sides of our heads, up over one eye and down over the other, the smartness estimated by the angle at which the hat sat, , We used to wear our hats straight on our heads and the new autumn styles seem to show them straighter, little flat things. Look up some of your old photographs and sec how they used to sit up on the top of carefully dressed hair. They were securely pinned on in those days and I can- not see how the new style hat will stay on without pinning again. Bet- ter look up also a few old hat pins. Hats are worn a -,top of the head, as they were years ago; skirts are longer and fuller, as they used to be. But I do not believe we shall over go back to the lined bodice, the lined. seven -yards -at -the -her' skirt, and there is no decided inclination as yet. that is. as far as we can see, to adopt the 1890 bathing suit.

KEENER SENSE OF DUTY REQUIRED BY MOTORISTS "If a. keener sense of responsibility could be instilled in the public who use our highways so that they would recognize the duties which are im- posed upon them when approaching a railroad crossing, the great number of fatal accidents which occur an- nually might be greatly reduced," was the statement made in a judgment handed down by the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Maine in a recent fatal railway crossing nod - dent when three men were instantly killed in a collision between their automobile and a Canadian National Railways passenger train. "In many other accidents which have been called to our attention," the Commis- sion stated, "the travellers on the 'highway have shown an utter lack of appreciation of their responsibilities when approaching a railroad cros- sing.". .

How easy seemed all toil! I laughed To think that once I hated it. The sunlight thrilled like wine, I quaffed Delight divine and. infinite. The very day was not too long; I felt so patient; I could wait, Being certain. So, the hours the song 'Chimed out the minutes of my fate. For she was coming, she, at Iast, I knew: I knew that bolts and bars Could stay her not; my heart throb- bed fast, I was not more certain of the stars. The twilight came, grew deeper; now The hour struck, minutes passed, and still The passionate fervour of her vow Rang in my heart's ear audible, I had no doubt at all: I knew That she would come, and I was then Most certain, while the minutes flety: Al:, how I scorned all other men! Next moment! Ah! it was—was not! I heard the stillness of the street. Night canoe. The stars had not forgot. The moonlight fell about my feet. So I rebuked my heart, and said: °Be still, for she is coming, see, Next moment—coming. Alt, her tread, I hear her coming---nt is she!" And then a woman passed. The hour Rang heavily along the air. I had no hope, I had no power To think --for thought was but de- spair. A thing had happened. What? My brain Dared not so much as guess the thing. And yet the sun would rise again Next morning! I stood marvelling. —Arthur Symons. oma WHEN YOU ARE OLD 'When you are old and grey and full of sleep And nodding by the fire take down this book, And slowly read and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and M their shadows steep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true; But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And Loved the sorrows of your chang- ing face. And bending down beside the glowing bars Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled, And paced upon the mountains ov- erhead, And hid his face amici a crown o£ stars. —Mi. B.

THE CITY DWELLER God of the wide and rolling plains, Lord of the vast unbounded sea, From stifling room and crowded street Our cry arises now to Thee. Save us from sordid, selfish lives, From narrowness of view or creed; Help us to stretch a friendly hand To any one we see in need. From all things paltry, mean and low We pray Thee, Lord, to set us free; Enlarge our hearts, uplift our aims, And draw us ever nearer Thee. The high -walled houses hem us in, And we grow fretful 'neath the strain Of living always 'mid the rush And din. Lord, soothe each weary brain. Give us a strong unfettered faith, A soul that trusts its all to Thee, Sympathies wide as the great plains, Love deep as Thine eternal sea. —Constance Tarage, IN TILE FLOWER FACTORY Lisabetta, Marianina, Fiametta, Tere- sina, They are winding stems of roses, one by one, one by one—• Little children who have never learn- ed to play; Teresina softly crying that her fin - gess ache today, Tiny Fiametta nodding when the twilight slips in gray.

EVEN GOLD FISH HAVE COMPETITION Meet the "Guppies!" Saki to bo an old family, they are about to leave whatever seclusion they enjoyed In their native Trinidad to enter Cans adian society. The "Guppies" are the small ctnemental fish which abound in the waters of the Eastern group of the West Indies. The Trade Come missioner in Trinidad suggested that they would thrive in bowls and small aquariums and prove es ornamental as goldfish. The "guppies" have the advantage of living happily in waterl which does not require the same care and change as that provided for goldfish. GODERICH: Automobiles driven by Kenneth Lovie, R. R.
