HOW OLD ARE YOU
Age is a quality of mind,
If you have left your -dreams' behind,
If hope is lost,
if you no longer leek ahead,
If your ambitions' fires are dead
Then you are old.
But if from life you take the best,
And if ie. life youkeep the jest,
If love you. hold—
No matter how the years go by,
No matter how thebirthdays fly,
You are not old!
—Great Thoughts.
Have you ever thought .over your
friends and marvelled how they dif-
fer in the matter of growing old?
Seine people seen to be old from
'their youth. They are easily discour-
aged; they lack the forward vision
• and so quickly are ready to give tip
and "quit" if things go wrong.
Others never seem to. grow old, no
matter how many birthdays they have
passed.' They look forward to life;
they understand youth' and its out-
look and youth looks up to and ap,
predates : them.
Itis all in the spirit, ,of course.
The body grows old nn spite of one,
the hair loses its lustre and the skin
takes on its \wrinkles. But the spirit.
within may remain as alert as ever.
The heart inay still stay young.
I4 is only those ,people with the
young spirits who should have any
thing to do .with young folk or chil-
dren. They should be the teacher's,
the instructors, for only they can
have the patience necessary to do
with their inexperience and the fool-
' ishness. It is only as youth gives
way to years' and experience that one
• can loots back over those years and
realize just how foolish one has been.
And with the young -spirited one
• there is a very veal tenderness in
• the heart fol this youthful foolish-
ness. It is not long to think back to
the time when one was going through
the same experiences and due allow-
ances are made.
!Some folk seem to go on the as-
sumption that as children and young
people they were always sensible; at -
ways considerate and always did the
right thing at the right time and
they cannot have any patience with
headlong, impatient and often selfish
and inconsiderate youth. But I doubt
if anyone, even the staidest old lady
or gentleanm living was always' so
staid ad so proper. It would be a
mighty dull world if children were
like that. Youth would not be youth
without its ienxperienee, its head-
longness, its assumption that it is
right and that the world will be made
over as soon as it can get around to
it. • Wo were all like that and we
should not become so staid and so
settled that we forget the feeling.
Let us cultivate a youthful spirit,
even we cannot keep the grey from
the locks or the crow:sfeet from the
eyes. We shall miss nothing by the
I effort, indeed, - we shall miss 'touch
ff we' settle down to be "just old
people" too early in life, or indeed,
until it is impossible to do anything
else. "Age is .a quality of mind,"

HOW TO BUY GRADED FOODS
A bandy guide on how to buy
graded foods has just been issued by
the Dominion Department of Agri-
culture, - As many varieties of Cana -
dim food products offered for sale In
retail stores are graded according to
quality, the summary of these pro -
duets and the explanation of the
grades contained in the guide will be
found to be of considerable assistance
to the buyer. The principal commo-
dities dealt with .are eggs, poultry
canned fruits and vegetables, fresh
fruits and vegetables, maple syrup

This woman had to prepare the meals
for her exacting husband so that they

The father neglected his son—let

against his will, and learned very
little. In his late teens the father
sent him off to a university in a
nearby city, and gave him a month -
1 ly allowance of 95 over and above his
board money. The father wanted
his son to be "eddicated" whenhe
entered his business. But circum-

The true benefit of sport, beyond
its'physical benefits, is its discipiine.

When he wee graduated he was in-

ter a year of loose living he made

WHITE TRILLIUM ONTARIO
EMBLEM
The white trillium, botanically
known as Trillium Grandiflorum, has
been 'selected by the Ontario ITorti-
cultural'Association as the most suit-
able floral emblem for the province.
The Association -will petition the On-
tario Legislature to make it so by
law.
This beautiful white flower grows
profusely in Ontario, appearing ear-
ly in May and dotting largo areas
with its; lovely blossoms. It is .hardy,
enduring and friendly, and grows and
flourishes profusely. It survives the
.hardest winter with sure composure,
and is one of the fust to saltire, the
re -awakening offlattestin the spring.
Ontario has been slew in dealing
with the question of a ;provineiai
flower emblem. For many years,
three other provinces.' have had their
provincial flowers. The earliest was
Nova'Seotia, ,dating;; back to 1901,.
when the trailing arbutus, locally
known, es the .May Viewer. was cre-
ated the 'floral emblem, by Act: of
Legislature. In the. following year,
Manitoba made the official selection
of tate Wind. Flower-'' (anemone pat-
iens) as its floral emblem, and
six ,years later, Alberta, by a bill
sponsored by the Minister of Educa-
tion, selected the Wxki hose (rose

Passed its Floral Emblem Act in 1901,

shown any `eoncern for haste in that
respect, for tine subject was first
mooted 110 years ago, when in 1825
the trailing arbutus appeared as the
decoration on the front page of "The

Do You Want
Your Da grater
To Be Pretty?
Here's how one girl put
roses into her cheeks and
rounded out a thin face
Mothers who are anxious for their
daughters to be healthy and attractive
will be interested in the story of a cer-
tain young girl who was pale, 'run-
down, underweight, when sire went to
a competent authority to have her
blood tested. She weighed only 911/2
pounds. The test revealed the trouble.
Her blood was too poor in quality to.
keep up her strength, weight and vital-
ity. Her blood was below normal in
the number of red corpuscles and in
vitally-necessaryhaemoglobia. She was
instructed to false two of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills (so called because they have
a pink sugar coating) three times a day
for a month and then return for an-
other blood test,
Thirty days later a changed, happy
girl came back. She had gained nine •
pounds. Her blood tested almost nor-
mal in its haemoglobin content and
was slightly better than normal in num-
ber of red corpuscles. She felt a. tre-
mendous lot better and Looked it. She.
bad roses in her checks and everyone
said that "her face had rounded out
and site was positively pretty".
Charming color and soft clear skin
depend almost entirely upon the blood,
because the blood carnes the vitality
and nutriment that builds the com-
plexion. The soft, clear skin of every
pretty baby is proof of it. And the girl
mentioned above is living evidence that
good looks which have been lost
through impoverished blood can be re-
gained by taltiag the proper remedy.
There is no need for so many girls
to endure a sallow, uninteresting com-
plexion nor to remain listless, nervous
and easily tired out. For when these
are symptoms of blood that is lacking
in vitality, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will
restore strength and "pep" and tone up
good looks, tool Equally effective for
people of all ages. Full-size box 50c at

THE WINDS OF FATE
• One ship drives east and another
' drives west,
With the self -same winds that blow,
Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales,
Which tells us the way to go.
Like the winds of the s'ea are the
ways of fate,
As we voyage along through life.
'Tis the set of a soul
That decides its goal,
And not the calm or the strife.

"TRAIN FEVER"
I hear a train 'a whistlin' .-
It's comin' round the bend;
Fd like to climb aboard it
And nide it to the end.
No matter where it's going•
I'd like to head that way;
But when it finally reached there
I wouldn't care to stay.
For when that train would whistle
A corrin' back again
I'd surely have to board it, •
And ride it to the end.

State Journal.

Snowdrops hiding beneath the hedge-

Bend the head, and good luck go with
them,
Never a fearsome thing a -tall.

Search for the shamrock beneath

SEASONABLE?
There is a mystic -borderland that lies
Just past the limits of our work -day
world,
And it is peopled with the friends we
met, e
And loved, a year, a month, a week
or day,
And parted from with aehing,hearts,
yet knew
That through the distance we must
loose the hold
0f hand with hand, and •only clasp
the thread
Of memory. But still so close we feel
this land,
So sure we are that these same hearts
are true,
What when in waking -dreams there
comes a call
That sets the thread of memory a,
glow,
We know that just by stretching out
the hand
In written wood of love or look or
flower,
The waiting hand will clasp our own
. once more
Across the silence, in the same old
way.—The Globe.
SATISFIED
For weeks I cherished you with ten-
der care
And stuffed you full with food
galore,
Yet still you eyed me with a fiery
glare
And roared and roared, demanding
more.
I sought you in the frosty midnight
hours
And yet again at grey dawn's light
To satisfy you seemed beyond my
powers,
Such a colossal appetite!
Ftiencls saw my anxious glance and
said to me,
"'Tis just a phase --'twill soon be
:past."
I'm nearly bankrupt, but—O, joy—I
see
Thank goodness—you're asleep at
last!
