Some of them are kept quite clean and large families are raised and housed in often only one room, but when sickness comes it is another matter. There are no com- forts, no extras, such as clean sheets, etc., and fat pork and home-made bread are not the proper diet for the sick one. I think of a home I was in last week, and it was a queen to many. My patient was, very ill with pneu- monia, too ill to bring into hospital, so I stayed with her. There were seven of us and two cots to sleep in the one roots at nights, not that I slept any. But I was allowed to keep the window wide open which was a great help.

HE COULDN'T It was before the Canadian. Na- tional Railways pushed their lines into the industrial North 'beyond the Pas, Manitoba, and most of the freighting was done by stern -wheel- er. In those days, Capt. Harvey L. Weber, now Superintendent of Ground Transport of Canadian Air- ways, was skipper of the .Nipawin, which plied between the Pass and Sturgeon Landing. On one trip a couple of prospectors came aboard with a rather delicate old gentleman, who they said was interested in mining claims, and they were going to take him to'a proper- ty. They meant to walk from the boat landing to the mineralized rock about 18 miles through the bush. Captain Weber took one of the prospectors to one side, "That old man will never bo able to walk that distance," he advised. "It will kill hila." "Olt, yes he will," chirped the pros- pectors. On the return trip, when Weber brought the Nipawin to the landing, he saw a big bundle wrapped in blan- kets lying on the shore, and beside it the two prospectors. "What's that?" called Weber, from the bridge. "You were right," answered one of the prospectors. "He couldn't make it," "I don't think it's right to , treat the child so!" Mrs. Gordon wiped the tears fromher eyes, "She's clone it all to save Roddy." "You think of nothing but Roddy! I'm-" his voice 'broke suddenly "I'm thinking of my 'girl!" "I'm thinking of Nancy, too.

They fail to ask themselves what the carpet -bagger leaves 'with them throughout the year in the way of business as compared with the local publisher and members of his staff. He also seems to forget that if he and his fellow business men would get more of their printing requirements done in their home town the publisher might be able to employ additional help, which would still further swell the amount of money to be spent in the home town. Always remember! A dollar spent with a firth in a distant town is gone forever so far as its .service to the community is con- cerned. A. dollar spent with other firms in the home town stays there and performs many good services, in its own community.
