Praise, like fault- finding, should be done with dis- cretion if it is to have the prone)! et fete I firmly believe that many people have not done all that they alright have donein this world because their spirits were broken and they were given an inferiority contp'.ex in their youth• by having their faults pointed ottt too frequently and their good qualities eompletely ignored. In this way their self-confidence was dess troyed and they were given -the in- grained idea that they could never a- mount to much and what they did was of no consequenee at all. Is there anything which takes all We have. all met inferior, loud - the starehout of one, that strips of voided persons who somehow gained -all one's .graelous covering and leaves places of distittetion and it may be, one in shrinking nakedness like the of influence, while others far super person who diligently points out one's for in intelligence and in refinement faults and failings? were aceu It may be that some people need pyin g inferior places, The person with the most self-confidence to, have their failings and neglects pushes himself forward, the one •drawn to their attention, .else the whose self-confidence had been des; should grow very self-satsfied and troyed 1vnaws er fs that he er she ••egotistical. But the majority of 155 could do that work better than it is being done but cannot muster enough self-confidence to undertake it. ,are already well aware of our faults and are trying to mend them; are only too conscious of .our short- -earnings and spend weary hours trying to make good. What wo need, often, 0 not a reminder of what poor, weak mortals we be, but a hearty, (though figurative) sjap en the back and a cheery voice to tell us that we are doing fine and to keep on and, with luck, we'll get some- where: Flattery is a mighty poor thing to feed grown meta and women upon, and few care much about 0. But in every ,olte's efforts, no matter bow poor, there is sometimes something to praise, to commend, and wo aro pretty poor sports if wo let our fel- low mortals starve for a morsel of honest praise when we could if we would hand 0 out occasionally. Of course I knew that you've got to be ndghty careful not to "spoii people by too nitwit praise." It is an enelent tradition, 'hoary ith age and so not to be ignored, that to praise People is to make them vain, that one shaved be blind to all virtue and only gives voice to comment when ?come fault is to be pointed out. I don't believe that wisdom lies in this plan. It may be that injudicious praise, and especially the praising of a child's .beauty or smartness to others A woman writer who has made an international name for herself said recently: "I was so cowed in my youth by having my faults pointed out so constantly and am .so selfr eonseious that it makes me nervous to have people look, hard at m@." A friend of mine, who evidently was not reared in that atinosphere but was taught to do whatever came to her hand to do without thinking of herself, expressed surprise that an- other lady of her acquaintance was too shy or self-conscious to cross a room at a public function to speak to a friend. "I cannot understand that sort of thing," my friend remarked. Well, 1 cored, I've felt the same way heaps of times. It must be possible to bring up children as my friend was brought up, to go along -doing whatever comes up, taking whatever place is assigned to one, with per - feet self-forgettfolness. But such a training is never accomplished by a perpetual pointing out of one's faults and failings. There may be a pointing out of those too, but it 0 done so that they can be corrected, not as a ntonsure of keeping one humble and with a mean opinion of oneself.

Supply Winnipeg, .'afore, Nov. 30th.—Syn- onymous with the close of the fish- ing season on the Pacific Coast shipments of fresh fish from Prince Rupert have been discontinued until the season is re-opened.on February a 17th. According to T. P. White,'Sup- e erintendent of Car Service for . the en Canadian Railway, shipments fir; the season totalled 635 cars. Sep- tember was the high month with 92 cars .Iloaded and delivered. The 1931 season was featured by the inauguration of a new "quick Freezing" process by which salmon fillets have been shipped from Prinee. Rupert and delivered fresh to con- sumers in Eastern cities of 'Canada and the united States. Frozen fish shipments will continue throughout 'the winter months to market the large quantities in store at Prince Rupert. A total of 208 cars of fro- zen fish have been shipped to date and the peak season has just started With 81 cars shipped during the first two weeks of November. Out of 855 for the past three years 758 havo been granted; 121 ha eeased to be diaims through death. 1. K. Fair Lull, Government enspe tor of Old Age Pensions reported a follows: "I find that the local committe give a good deal of their time ante also their serious consideration to every application that is placed be- fore them. To the best of their ability, they gather all. the informa- tion required in connection with the applicants circumstances. With very few exceptions I found every, thing satisfactory'. There were a few cases where I recommend a re- duction. I wish to commend the Lo- cal Board for their businesslike method of dealing with a 1 applica, tions. The reealmnendations to the re- port reads: Your committee regrets that the granting of old age pensions has been accompanied by a very pro- nounced disposition manifested on the part of some sons and daughters to forget their duty to their pare ents, and have constituted themselves agents in securing pensions for their fathers and mothers instead of contributing' to return some of the care and financial assistance lavish- ed upon themselves. This feature has bet nme so pronotmeecl that the com- mittee would be exercising their right to bring such persons before a Magistrate, as is done in many cosec. in Ontario, or have them exposed in sono other way. The report of the House of Refuge At thee September meeting an agent for a ,firm manufacturing a tubular system of fire escape gave a moving picture illustration.of how the system works. .,The installation of the system would cost 32,250 and the agent was informed that the committee was ,not prepared to en, tertain the idea.

RELIEF, TOTALS MOUNT UP Relief work began with, an appeal from thee West for used clothing, .Already fifty tons have been sent. Then eastern farmers began offer- ing food, and The United Church undertook, through its relief com- mittee, to handle this also. Five cars of fruit and vegetables were en route by the end of Septem- ber. Eighty-four ears had arrived, or were on the way to Saskatchewan by November 1. Now time total has reached 109 oars from five provinces and the need is still pressing! The West is proudly grateful for this sign of unity in a time of na- tional emergency. • vs:eerie, SAIL FOR AUSTRALIA HABITS' The habits of life are important because upon 'them depend. so meth of the happiness and success of life. Unless the child learns early in life. hew to live happily with other people and get along well with them, he will when he grows up, meet with diffi- culties on account of his inability to mix with other people in his busi- ness and ..social life. If we' are to achieve success in work and, at the same time, enioy our daily task, more than anything else we need to fortn good habits. Such habits, in adult life are the result of the" building up, in child- hood, of habits in promtpness and in finding pleasure in work well done, Children acquire habits very read- il r y, egartlless of whether the habits are good or had, The baby soon de- mands that mother continue to sig with hint while he goes to sleep, if she hes once started to do so.

Infernal stuff, your nature well I know, So when I took you down six months ago, Each piece I numbered so that I night tell. Exactly how you'd go together well. And now the time for chilly nights draws nigh, To put you up again I madly try, But all in vain. The joints that then did fit Now do not come within an inch die I get you two thirds put in place and then Crash you go tumbling to the Rom. again. Once Moro I try. You're ranter full of soot And I am getting daubed from head to foot. I jam my thumb, but 5ti11 1 persevere, One piece goes down again and rakes my ear. I grab to catch the piece, another goes,' And falling scrapes the hide all off my nose. And then another piece falls with a •slam, And then the rest goes down and I say "Damn." And then my blood gets 'boiling emit say, By all that's blue, I'll 'fix you any. way. Once more I go to work. By patience great 1 get aryl but a single section straight. And that I ant about to place, when oh! The chair I stand on tips. Down flat 1 go; While on and round me with a horrid crash, The whole comes down again in one g'r'and smash.
