A Column I'repared,Especiallynfor Woolen---
ButNot Foibidden.to Men
And guards us while we rest,
THE DARK
The dark is kind and cosy;
The dark is soft and deep;
he dark will pat my pillow
And love me a5 I sleep_
The dark is smoothofb as ,velvet,
,
And gentle as the air;
And he is good to, ,children,
And people ,everywhere.
The dark can see and love,
Without a bit of light. ,
He gives rile dreams and resting;
He brings the gentle night.
God made the dark; so" daytime'
Could close its tired eyes
And rest awhile in comfort
Beneath the starry skies'..
The daytime; just like children,
Needs rest' from work and play
So it can .give us children
Another happy day.
God made the dark for children
And birdies in their nest.
Ail in the dark • He watches
Children very easily learn to
fear and hate darkness and it should,
be the endeavour of those' who have
the care' of children to seek to keep
them from, fearing the dark. It is a.
very sorry thing to have them grow
up with an instinctive fear of dark-
ness; they should be taught to cuddle
down into it . and rest, as the birds.
do. Children should be kept from
fear just al much as ,possible. The
practise of scaring children, a prac-
tise not as common as it used to be,
glad to think, is ,a very bad one,
Children need all their courage to
meet the world successfully and they
should be allowed -10 grow up with
that, faculty unimpaired.
Few, perhaps, but have at, some
time been aware of the soft, envel-
oping sweetness of the early Sep-
tember dusk. We all love the sum

freedom of all outdoors and we re-

INDIGESTION
Indigestion is a much -abused term
and has no definite meaning. It is
a word in general use to describe any
uncomfortable feeling which the suf-
ferer attributes to, the stomach or
some other part of the digestive :sy-
stem. The true condition may be an
ulcer of the stomach,inflamation of•
the gall -bladder, chronic constipation;
chronic appendicitis; or some one or
other of the many conditions which
cause what is popularly, known as in-
digestion.'
Unfortunately because indigestion
is a common complaint it is very oft-
en treated Tightly, and the general
tendency is for the sufferer to dose
himself with laxatives dr totry one
of the many types of diet which • his,
well-meaning, but .'medically ignor-
ant friends will offer as a cure.;.,Sode
is often taken in ,large: amounts,
regularly or -frequently by numbers
of persons with the idea that their
trouble lids in the presence of, tog
much acid in their stomachs. If
digestion is .to take placeily the
stomach, acid must be present; and
large doses of soda merely interfere
with normal digestion;
In'certain cases, bran' and rough-
age in the diet are desirable in 01
,der to overcome constipation. 'If the
digestive organs- are irritable, it is
most likely that a smooth, soft diet
is whatis required.
These points are mentioned in or-
der to 'make clear that the proper
treatment of indigestion depends,
first of all, upon finding out the
cause. If this is not done, actual
harm results, and the condition; tends,
to become chronic - and increasingly
difficult to treat.
Tile whole trouble may, be due to
bad habits ,of eating. Eating too
quickly, washing down fond with
fluid instead of chewing it properly,
swallowing of air as a result of
gulping of food:- In such cases, the
tbbuble< wi11 be corrected by estab-
lishing proper eating habits. If
there i is 'inflamation or ulceration
-of some part of the; digestive system,
this, of course, requires -suitable
treatment;: and constipation is dealt
with by regulation of diet and,hab-
its, not by drugs.
e Questions conlderiing health, ,ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by
letter: t
Here's an Idea ,for the ' Government
The whole question of pensions
and insurance calls for study and
readjustment. There must be uni-
-formity,' Why should not the state
undertake to collect from pvery in-
dividuel a portion of his earning
which shall be. set aside to provide
against .disability or old age? All
would then be on the same footing,
and all would know they were pro-
tected against an old age of penury.
In the case of worn, workers who
afterwards married, the amount to
their credit could come to themat
that time, or be set aside for their
future protection. It would be a case
of compulsory saving during years
when earning capacity was highest.
One of Ithe, troubles to -day is that
toooften amen and women do not be-
gin to think of providing for a rainy
day, or old age, until the family
responsibilities weigh heavily..Moie-
ever, the pension and insurance
tunds would then come from the pro-
per source in one,
and n
o part o
f
them would be laid
upon the already
overburdened land owners. IL would
he a big undertaking; but it would
be worth while. The operation of
such a" system , would be 'expensive
but wouald not require so large a: per-
centage as voluntary insurance.
Whileit might restrict the field of
the life insurance companies, it
would by no 'means supersede them,
for provident people would still Want
to make much lairger provisions for
their -families, and for old' age,' than
the state tinsurance. It may be : a
dream, but nothing is more certain
resent pension thane that the p p n system
is only a beginning, that its scope
is sure to be widened, and that it will
have to be placed on 'a more gener-
ous and equitable basis from which
the' element ofcharity will be entir
ee1y removed.--Orillia Packet -Times.

BE. A BOOSTER
;When a community becomes "dead" the fact is written all over
it. Residents may try to conceal the true conditionbut to visitors
they are guite apparent. And once a town becomes "dead' 'it never
stages a come -back Its residents are never prosperous again, and
those who possess foresight move to another city where more pos-
sibilities are presented to them.
Clinton is a growing and prosperous community. It is for the
residents of this town to say whether or not progress will continue.
The merchants and businessmen are the. backbone of its success.
On their' business depends the progress of the community. A pros-
perous community -is the same as a successful, large corporation.
The residents of Clinton are the stockholders of the town. The
merchants are the directors. If the business, as 'operated by the
directors, shows large profits, the residents will receiWe the benefits
in dividends. A stockholder who does his personal business, with
another firm and buys his goods in cities outside, acts in opposition
to his own interests. It would bo a foolish move in business.
Residents of this town buy in other places because they do not
realise the harm they are doing themselves in doing so, Public
spirited residents should instruct their neighbors. Tell them that
you buy here and get better value for your money than they do in
other places. Build up for increased civic dividends, Boost Clinton
and Clinton merchants.

the Bank of Montreal on its face is today worth $15.00. Itis not so
much the age' that counts -it isthe scarcity of particular Coins of
certain dates.

INDIGESTION
Indigestion is a much -abused term
and has no definite meaning. It is
a word in general use to describe any
uncomfortable feeling which the suf-
ferer attributes to, the stomach or
some other part of the digestive :sy-
stem. The true condition may be an
ulcer of the stomach,inflamation of•
the gall -bladder, chronic constipation;
chronic appendicitis; or some one or
other of the many conditions which
cause what is popularly, known as in-
digestion.'
Unfortunately because indigestion
is a common complaint it is very oft-
en treated Tightly, and the general
tendency is for the sufferer to dose
himself with laxatives dr totry one
of the many types of diet which • his,
well-meaning, but .'medically ignor-
ant friends will offer as a cure.;.,Sode
is often taken in ,large: amounts,
regularly or -frequently by numbers
of persons with the idea that their
trouble lids in the presence of, tog
much acid in their stomachs. If
digestion is .to take placeily the
stomach, acid must be present; and
large doses of soda merely interfere
with normal digestion;
In'certain cases, bran' and rough-
age in the diet are desirable in 01
,der to overcome constipation. 'If the
digestive organs- are irritable, it is
most likely that a smooth, soft diet
is whatis required.
These points are mentioned in or-
der to 'make clear that the proper
treatment of indigestion depends,
first of all, upon finding out the
cause. If this is not done, actual
harm results, and the condition; tends,
to become chronic - and increasingly
difficult to treat.
Tile whole trouble may, be due to
bad habits ,of eating. Eating too
quickly, washing down fond with
fluid instead of chewing it properly,
swallowing of air as a result of
gulping of food:- In such cases, the
tbbuble< wi11 be corrected by estab-
lishing proper eating habits. If
there i is 'inflamation or ulceration
-of some part of the; digestive system,
this, of course, requires -suitable
treatment;: and constipation is dealt
with by regulation of diet and,hab-
its, not by drugs.
e Questions conlderiing health, ,ad-
dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College street, Toron-
to, will be answered personally by
letter: t
Here's an Idea ,for the ' Government
The whole question of pensions
and insurance calls for study and
readjustment. There must be uni-
-formity,' Why should not the state
undertake to collect from pvery in-
dividuel a portion of his earning
which shall be. set aside to provide
against .disability or old age? All
would then be on the same footing,
and all would know they were pro-
tected against an old age of penury.
In the case of worn, workers who
afterwards married, the amount to
their credit could come to themat
that time, or be set aside for their
future protection. It would be a case
of compulsory saving during years
when earning capacity was highest.
One of Ithe, troubles to -day is that
toooften amen and women do not be-
gin to think of providing for a rainy
day, or old age, until the family
responsibilities weigh heavily..Moie-
ever, the pension and insurance
tunds would then come from the pro-
per source in one,
and n
o part o
f
them would be laid
upon the already
overburdened land owners. IL would
he a big undertaking; but it would
be worth while. The operation of
such a" system , would be 'expensive
but wouald not require so large a: per-
centage as voluntary insurance.
Whileit might restrict the field of
the life insurance companies, it
would by no 'means supersede them,
for provident people would still Want
to make much lairger provisions for
their -families, and for old' age,' than
the state tinsurance. It may be : a
dream, but nothing is more certain
resent pension thane that the p p n system
is only a beginning, that its scope
is sure to be widened, and that it will
have to be placed on 'a more gener-
ous and equitable basis from which
the' element ofcharity will be entir
ee1y removed.--Orillia Packet -Times.

BE. A BOOSTER
;When a community becomes "dead" the fact is written all over
it. Residents may try to conceal the true conditionbut to visitors
they are guite apparent. And once a town becomes "dead' 'it never
stages a come -back Its residents are never prosperous again, and
those who possess foresight move to another city where more pos-
sibilities are presented to them.
Clinton is a growing and prosperous community. It is for the
residents of this town to say whether or not progress will continue.
The merchants and businessmen are the. backbone of its success.
On their' business depends the progress of the community. A pros-
perous community -is the same as a successful, large corporation.
The residents of Clinton are the stockholders of the town. The
merchants are the directors. If the business, as 'operated by the
directors, shows large profits, the residents will receiWe the benefits
in dividends. A stockholder who does his personal business, with
another firm and buys his goods in cities outside, acts in opposition
to his own interests. It would bo a foolish move in business.
Residents of this town buy in other places because they do not
realise the harm they are doing themselves in doing so, Public
spirited residents should instruct their neighbors. Tell them that
you buy here and get better value for your money than they do in
other places. Build up for increased civic dividends, Boost Clinton
and Clinton merchants.
