The good are so harsh to the clever, The •clever so rude to the good. • So, friends, let it be our endeavor To make each by each understood, Vox few can be good like the clever, Or clever so well as the good. It always seems to be such a pity that so often people who seem to be real good people, are not nice peo- ple to get along with, They seem - to critical and severe, ascribing evil motives to others who do not see eye to eye with them and generally reek- ' ing themselves anything but pleas- ant people to live with. This, I believe, is all wrong. 'Good people should be the very nicest sort of folk to get along with, and many of them are. They should be agree- able, understanding, willing to ovals• look faults and to ascribe the best natives possible. Of Course they cannot be expected to go against their own principles of right and wrong in order to be agreeable, but no really good person should have a sour face. It is a very poor adver- tisemnet for their brand of good- peas and, I verily believe, it is a libel on -the Source of Goodness, who sends his blessings upon all alike, the good, the bad, the indifferent. And after all there are very few peeple so good that they have no faults and failings •of their own to mourn over, that they can afford to sit in severe judgment upon the fail- ings of others. R BEKAI The Right to Greate The following is from a recent • issue of the Mail and Empire: "Never having belonged to a 'trades union, but, having worked far longer hours at top tension, than '•trades unionists ever dream of work- ' ing, ork-'ing, we always feel perfectly free to say our say on labor questions. Now • one of our settled conviction's. is, • (that, though strikers may think they • are striking for higher wages and • shorter hours, that since the machine came in, these never have been tho :real mainspring of the insurgence, • Journalists work losig hours, at ex- acting tasks foe small pay, but we don't strike. Why? Not because • we wouldn't like less worts and high- er pay, but because, with all its •great difficulties we love our work. We are not, clay in and day out mak ing bolt Na.'843. We are using our creative powers, we can see our coni pleted week. This is not to say that strikes for decent wages and decent hours have not been necessary at times. But we are sure that they never have been, and never will be, the solo cause of complaint. When the machine age came, it brought monotony, and monotony 'doth work a madness in the brain.'" • —Bride Broder.

Dizziness, irri- tability and sleeplessness may arise from the same cause. Those who wear glasses may suffer front eye- strain if their glasses are old. The eyes alter, and'so the glasses need to be changed from time to time. Rubbing the eyes is a bad habit. It is just part of the general bad habit of putting the hands to the face, The hands should be kept away from the face ,because the fingers are so apt to be soiled, and if, for example, the eyes are rubbed with soiled fingers, infection may result Fox much the same reason, the use of individual towels is desirable. The common towel is not as dangerous as the 'com- mon drinking -cup, but it is a factor in spreading' disease as its use does endanger the eyes. The common tow- el, whether it be called :roller or something else, should be abolished. iaiuestions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toon- to, will be answered personally by some chit- letter. * * * * Pepper Flash 12 green peppers 12 red peppers 1 cup sugar 1 head celery 2 onions 2 cups vinegar Wash peppers and remove seeds.

In 7 years one would have made a clear million dollars. ■ * * ing. One cannot hope to make a lot of money, or mu;oh money at all, unless he engages in the moneymak- ing vocation. Money is. made by trading—by ex- changing goods or services for mon- ey; and one can make a lot of mon- ey by multiplying the number and by increasing the magnitude, of trading transactions. Thus, if one is a re- tailer, then money is made in this type of business by speeding up the number of (sales transactions andby increasing the amount of the sales transaction. I knew a retailer who was not a bit keen to increase the number of his sales transctions; he was content to wait for eustomers to enter his store; he made no effort to increase their number. I asked him, a question — this in the days when Timothy Eaton was alive. I asked him, "If Timothy Eaton had your store, your location, your capi- tal, your opprtunity, would it make any difference to your business?" This retailer was honest; he said, "Yes, I believe it would". In that confession or admission, he acknow- ledged that he himself was blocking his own business—that he was stand ing on his own foot. Take the case of a man selling leadpencils on the street—at 5 cents per. pencil. He cannot make as many sales or as much profit as a man go- ing about from door to door selling vegetables. And take the case of a retailer on a back or side street. He cannot hope to make as many sales as a man whose store is on a main street and in the central section of the town or city. Often one can make more money selling a 5 ar a 10 cent article which sells fast than he can selling a 25 - cent article which has a slow sale. Thus, it is well-known that a soda water fountain is one of the best paying departments in a drug store --this in a city. Men who sell stocks o2 bonds are in a money -making kind of business. They sell a unit of a 100 or a 1000 shares, and if they are on the stock exchange, the number of their daily sales transactions may be very largo; so they make hundreds of dollars a day. A manufacturer who sells 100,000 units ora million units of his pro- duct a year can make a lot of mon- ey. Thus, a motor -car company mak- ing and selling a million cars a year, can make ,$5,000,000 a year net pro- fiit if its net profit on each car is on- ly 55. If you want to make a lot of mon- ey, get into a business engaged in the daily exchange of goods or ser- vices for money, and own the busi- ness. The recipe for -snaking a mil- lion dollars is: Sell a mechanically - made product, of the quick repeater type, capable of simultaneous sale In many markets; and sell it in large quantity. Makers of cigarettes, motor -dares •toothpaste, cosmetics, food products—all can hope to make a lot of money, far their products are of the quiekrepeater type, are large- ly mechanically -made, are capable of simultaneous sale all over the land. Even a motor -car can be regarded as of the repeater type--•tfor most per- sons buy a new car say every 4 or 5 years. A piano, by way of example, is not a quick -repeater article, It may last a lifetime; therefore, making pianos is not so good a business as is mak. ing motorcars. ' 11 41/1113 Publishing a metropolitan newspa- per can be a fortune -making enter- prise, Take a newspaper selling 200,000 copies a day — or 2,000,000, copies a day, as is done in !London, England. Though it takes a 'stagger ing' amount of capital to operate a metropoliitan newspaper, yet the profit, neglgtblie on each unit sold, Dapples the apples with deep-sea light. They are lying in rows there under, the gloomy beams; On the sagging floor; they gather the silver streams Out of the moon those moonlit ap- ples of dreams, And quiet is the steep stair under, Ih the corridors under there is troth ing but sleep, And stiller than ever on ' orchard boughs they keep Tryst with the moon, and deep is the silence, deep On moon -washed apples of wonder. --John Drinkwater, in "Collected Poems." i What I am trying to make clear, is' unless You are in a money -mak- ing or trading enterprise, you can- not hope to make the income made by the man who is in the business of exchanging daily goods or services' for money. This ought to be clear; but the fact is that many a farmer growls because he does not and can- not make as much as does a retail- er, -or a stockbroker, or a dealer to live stock, or a man in the coal busi- ness. The fact is that for moat farmers, farming is not a trading business. Some farmers do make farming a trading business — they produce milk, which they market ev- ery day; but they can never make a million as can a, manufacturer, for their milk is not a 'mechanically - made product, capable of simultan- eous sale in many markets. Indeed, the farmer who sells milk has but a single customer—the firm contract- ing to take his milk; and the con- tract price is fixed. •So the farmer in the business of selling milk 02 cream cannot hope to make as much money as the maker of shoes, or of stockings, er of ink, or of fertilizer, OT of stoek-food. Similarly, in the case of the artis- an. He sells personal service --his skill, his physical strength; and this product of his is nota mechanically. made product, capable of 'being sold to many users of his strength, oe skill. He has but a single local cus- tomer for what he sells, and so he cannot hope to make as much money as his employer, who may be making woodenware, or knit goods, or elec- trical utilities, or tires or soap. And it is the same In the case of those who sell mental or intellectual merchandise—(as does the preacher, the architect, the accountant, the en• gineer, the sehooi-teacher, the jour- nalist. • I ani not in Sympathy with those who grouse because they see retail• ors and manufacturers and brokers and other classes of traders making more money than they do. It is al- ways open to the disgruntled to get into the trading busialesst—i'f rhea have the requisite capital, experience, courage and ability to manage oth- ers and to manage a business. These disgruntled should bear in mind that many whom they envy and whom they abuse, began with nothing more than is possessed by their crities and their enviers. Timothy Eaton began to keep a store in Western Ontario, He had no assets, except personal assets, not possessed equally by ten thousand other retailers in Ontarta. He actually failed; but no failure, or defeat, or disoouragement could keep him back. He had an immense vis- ion and a resolute purpose, and in the end he became a millionaire. Why should I be envious of the fame and income of a professional baseball player? or of a Hollywood actor; or of the editor of the Satur- day !Evening Post, .or of Liberty Magazine -amen who probably receive ober 5100,000 a year as salary?
