But, after all, it is really the com- monest things which bring us the most joy; the things we enjoy in common with others, not the rich, un- usual things which only a few people can have. Health is one of the greatest of blessings and one doesn't need wealth or leisure to enjoy that to the full. The blessings of home, food, shel- ter, companionship of loved ones, all these things are so eommonplace that we take them as a matter of course. We do not stop to think that these are blessings to call forth our most heartfelt thanks. Many have not even these bles- sings. One of the ways of showing our thankfulness for blessings which we deserve no more than many who 'want thein, would be to see that some of these blessings are passed Canada is a land of plenty but there are in it at the present time many who do not enjoy plenty, some who are sadly lacking in even the necessary things. It does seem to me to be a great pity that year after years rolls around and no real solu- tion of our economic difficulties is found. That year after year men must face the day with no prospect of being able to earn sufficient to supply the needs of their families; that mothers of little children should have to see them needing .the neces- saries of life without being able to supply them; that young men and women should be able to find no suit- able outlet for their energies of hand and brain and are growing discourag- ed and disillusioned in a world which seems to have no place for them. While we give thanks for the boun- ties of the earth we should also pray for wisdom to use these bounties a- right; wisdom to build a world in Which all members of the human family would have a chance of en- joying a fair share of these bounties. —REBEKAH MAPLE LEAF CONTEST PUT ON BY RAILWAYS The beauties of the Canadian maple leaf in the Autumn will probably be studied with more enthusiasm and vigor this season than ever before. The two Canadian railway systems, the Canadian National and the Cana- dian Pacific, have instituted a nation- wide contest to encourage a greater interest in Canadian autumn scenery and they are offering prizes for the most beautiful Ieaf and for the larg- est leaf. Last year more than ten thousand leaves were submitted for the consideration of the judges who were elected from the Royal Canadian Academy. All leaves entered must be gathered within two miles of a sta- tion on either railway. In view of the fact that it is the intention of the railways to arrange ticalth Srivice ,* •te 13 Gattabiatt JtI OF Tilt ebirat Assortation and Life Insurance Companies in Canada. GRANT FLEMI WATER ' "Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink!" was the complaint of the thirsty Ancient Mariner, as he viewed the salt sea water which sur- rounded him. "Water, water in plen- ty, but not a drop fit to drink!" might be the cry .of many tbanadians if they 'knew that their drinking water was , contaminated with 'the germs of dis- ease. Those Who live in cities and towns generally enjoy a safe water supply. Peorn bitter experience they learned that sickness and death were the price of polluted water. Freedom from wa- ter -borne diseases is the dividend re- ceived in such communities as have spent the money required for purifica- tion of water supplies. But what of the rural areas? Un- fortunately, the same satisfactory pro. press hat not been made in many parts of our country. The ill effecta of one polluted well are not as evi- dent as are those of the contamin- ated water supply of a city beeause the numbers who use any one well are comparatively few, Nevertheless, for those who do, use it, the results are the 'same in that the same diseases at- tack them as occur in the city. Typhoid fever, which is frequently water -borne, used to be a fairly com- mon disease in cities azidlowns. Now Edited by NG, M.D., Associate Secretary it is a rare disease and is practically unknown where water and milk sup- plies are taken care of. Typhoid fev- er is not by any means a rare disease in many rural areas, and most of the cases seen in city hospitals have been contracted in the country. It is difficult to persuade many rur- al people that the well or the spring which they have used for years may not'be a safe supply. They forget that people move around a great deal, and that some day a earriersof typhoid fever .germs may visit them, and then, if the well is aot so constructed as to be protected from seepage of the privy or cess -pool, they will be drinking the germs of typhoid fever. In all our provinces, water exam-, inations are made by the laborator- ies nt the provincial health depart; merits. There is one simple way' finding out whether or not the water you are drinking is contaminated, and that is by having the water sub- jected to certain tests which will re- veal the presence or absence of 'Pollu- tion. There is no time better than the present to do this. Pure water means safety. Question% concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter. a eoast-ito-coast exhibition for the most beautiful leaves, the regulations provide that all leaves submitted are to become the property of the rail- ways. The contest is not open to employees of either railway, but In view Of the wide interest being tak- en by the children throughout Can- ada, it is open to members of their families. The deeision selecting the most beautiful maple leaf will be based on color as well as shape, while the decision on the largest leaf wilt be guided by surface area. Entries are to be addressed to Post Office Box 1500, Montreal, Que., and fill/ information as to the contest can be obtained from any agent of either company. * * * * * * * OUR RECIPE FOR TODAY HAMBURG STEAK This popular restaurant dish 4. 4. 4. 4. 4. * 4. 4. 4. * * * much fat as may- be desired. • a broiling Hamburger it is * even more important to sear * the surface as the grinding of * it presents more cut surface * for the -escape of juices.

This 'letter will offer to some fortunate Canadian—the hold- er of a lucky postcard — the oppor- tunity of spending several days in the island without cost. !According to a decision taken by this Board, which is malting every effort to interest the people of this Dominion in Jamaica, four thousand 'letters are being mailed to prominent individuals in Canada, each contain- ing a postcard that bears a number. One of these persons to whom this letter is addressed will receive noti- fication from Kingston of his OT her good fortune of baying the oppor- tunity of a free ocean journey to Jamaica and return on a comfortable yacht -like liner of the Canadian Na - Lionel. Steamships, in addition to be ing the guest of that colony, with inland travel and entertainment pit. vileges without any expense what- ever during the time occupied by such a visit to the colony. The lion. A. z, te,Costa, 0.5.E., M.L.C., J.P., of Kingston, has al- ready drawn the number, -which will be announced in the near future. . In offering this free trip to Jam- • ' • area, it is stipulated that the para. tial Canadian National Steamships liners will he used as a means of transportation between this country and Jamaica. The free holiday, at the option of the fortunate competi- tor, will extend over a period of 22 days or 36 days, should it be decid- ed to enjoy the trip during the win- ter months, when these vessels sail from Halifax or Boston. If the at- tractions of a voyage down the Si. Lawrence, with Montreal the point of departure, are seught, the ticket - holder will have the privilege of en- joYing a holiday extending over 25 days, or 39 days, since the choice of the trip extend over a year. The winner of this free holiday will be advised by air mail, the an- nouncement being made six weeks at - ter the circular letters and postcards have been despatched.

It seems to por- tray the spirit of those western folk who are always hoping for a bump, er crop "next year." Old Farmer Judds 'was rooting for ' spuds Wben the big ear rolled up slowly. "Any milk for sale "—I've got; my own pail," Said the stranger soft and !curly. "Heck, no!" said Judds, a. be wor- ried the spuds, And the stranger heard him ad- mit: "I hate to reply the cows have gone dry, But that's just the size of it!" "How're the spuds?" said the stranger to Judds. And grinned as he put the query. "From what I can see, it's apparent to me The crop ise't any too cheery." "You're right," said Judds. "If yell can find spuds To equal a measly peck In all of this plot, I'll give you the lot--. And throw in the farm, by heck!" "Don't telt me your crop is also a flop," Said the stranger, "because I fear If teach is the case, you've nothing to face But the fact you're flat on ypur ear!" "The 'hoppers and drouth have flat. tened rne out I will have to admit," said "And believe when I say the wheat and hay Are a clanged sight worse than the • spuds!" "No milk! No spuds!" cried the stranger .Judds. "No wheat and no hay! --,-Holy gee! Wihatever's the charm holde you' on the farm Is more than a riddle to -rno." Old Fanner Judds turned back to his spuds, . As the car moved off M low gear; And the stranger heard every sage- ly word: "There's a bumper crop coining next year!" —W. Dave l3elbeck.

"Advertising," says an exchange, "creates a desire to see." A merchant who wishes to sell his goods' ad- vertises them, tells the public about them, then they wish to see them, so come to his store. When the customer comes to a man's store the work of the advertisement is completed, at far as that customer is concern- ed. It has done its bit. It is now up to the merchant and his staff. If the goods are worthy, if they are presented to the customer in a pleasing manner, if the price is right the custo- mer' is likely to buy. If, after coming into a store in answer to an advertisement a customer goes ,out without buying it is clearly not the fault of the ad- vertisement. The fault must be looked for somewhere else. A merchant once complain- ed to a publisher that a sale which he had advertised did not pay him; that he had not sold many of the advertised goods. "Whose Ault was that?" ask- ed the publisher. "The adver- tising brought you the people, for I saw them crowding your store. It was up to you to sell the goods, Advertising • can- not do it all, You had the geode, advertising brought you the buyers; if you did not sell it must have been some fault on your part, or on the part of the goods offered." Som.e merchants, they are not as common as they used to be, have the idea that advertis- ing ought to sell anything; goods that are out-of-date, goods that are shoddy and worthless, goods that are tho high-priced. That le not the function of advertieing, Ad- vertising is an educative pro- cees, it is not a flimflam game. No publisher likes advertisers to overstate the merits of bis goods. Every publisher knows that advertising does assist legitimate merchants to sell goods, but he does not like ad- vertisers to make statements which he cannot substantiate. .That ain't ef advertising is nei- ther good for the merchant or the pnblisher. But if you have reliable -goods, the sort of things peo- ple want, and wish to dispose of them, a good way is to put an advertisement in your local . paper, then prepare to give the customers who come the very - best and most courteous service possible. In this way you tan - not fail to find that advertis- . ing pays. '.3/.1erchants' who . advertise in this . way in The, News -Record will bear out the above. • SOURED ON IRE WORLF—THAT'S LIVEk Wake up your Liver Bile —No Calomel necessary Many peOp16 who feel sour, sluggish and geoerally wrelehed realm the rmstake of taldns mato, nit, mineral water, laxative candy or chewing sum, or roughage which only move the bowels and ignore the liver.
