Bet the phrase is laege and 'vague; and it neede' to be premptlY qualified. For some of those who tiro: thinge are prone to amt, without thinking, to leap with- out looking;. and their conduct is ex pensive as well as precipitate. To do the wrong thing or to do the right thing in the wrong way is not praiseworthy. (Treat Canadian leaders made mistakes It was not for their blunders that we admire and praise tiled: still, ,They atoned for the errors by useful acts and constructive ac- oomplishments, tar more :valuable and numerous. Nobody hives a man. who for fear of doling the wrong thing rusts in idle- nese, dle-nes , who demure and poetponee, who never admits that the hour has struck .foe• the decisive act. But a craven timorousness that sees -bogeys every- where and 'toils in the way is a ins position wholly different from a laud- able precaution that weighs the cense queries and sees the end from the be-' ginning. They who sink ships and devastate the land in malting war are doing things, but the diabolic issue ie ruin and angulate. They may even get them- selves extolled in the history books as magnificent conquerors•, and because they quelledand cowed and slew over a wide area they may be deemed glorious, but ,the race to whom they have brought grief and mourning can- not sincerely hail them as benefactors. The world than, from the reverent contemplation of egocentric militarists to .its faithful servants who wrought for those still, spiritual victories of the laboratory of science, the room where- in herein are sessions of quiet thought above the tumult of the .street, the dicker and chaffer of the marketplace. Those who by science forward the world's work are doing things too. They may not be summoued to the de- bate of .statesmen or the cabinet of adminie'ratiron, They may not be sent on diplomatic errands and they may not have the crowds run after them to hear their speeches; But they also serve.

He read for a few minutes, and there was a new note of reverence"in his voice as he ended with: "Or ever the silver cord be loosed or the golden bowl be broken or the pitcher be broken at the torn- tain or the wheel broken at the cis- tern, Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it," His face glowed as he exclaimed; "Isn't that wonderful?" "It is," r agreed. "Would you like to read more by the same author?" He nodded, and I handed him my Bible that lay on my desk. Ile atared at me. 'You don't mean to say that's from the Bible?" I.nodded and opened the book at the twelfth chapter of Ecclesiastes and he read: "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil stays come not, nor the years draw nigh when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them." "I didn't know that was in the Bible;" he said quietly. "Are there any more passages like that?" I turaed to the fl'fty-third chapter of Isaiah and then passed on to other beautiful passages both of the Old Testament and of the New. He listen, ed to them eagerly,` A few days ago he said to me: "I'm going to church now." He had found his God again through reading the Bible: bt has-been :a real Joy to watch the spiritual awakening of that young man who had been reieeting the spiritual food for which he really hungered be- muse at some time in his youth it must have been served to him unat- tractively. • Another Attempt to Climb Mount Everest.

The reasons why some persons according to John R. Marlin, Prof., have attractive personalities and some of Physiology at Rochester Univers- have not, maydepend on what we .eat, ity, Too much meat, too much coffee and toemany cigars often make a. man irascible and, irritable, while the development of children; depends to a large degree on proper food in cor- rect quantities. Seine factors which may infinencincluding e. development of the body, the nervous system, and therefore th development of the mind, are trace- able to the food. A child which is de- prived of certain vitamins 'develops rickets or scurvy .and along with the arrest of physical development goes a certain retardation .of mental de- velopment. Oftentimes teachers bear testimony to the complete change both in appearance and in the normal re- actions of the child when these de- ficiencies are corrected, A child which is habitually disobedient or refractory to discipline may become quite the op - posits as a, result of better nutrition. •-These facts with reference to nutri- tion illustrate one of the means of controlling what has been 'placed in our hands in developing personality in ourselves and in our children. Many a ratan is irritable and objec- tionable because he does not ]snow how' to eat or what to eat. Too much meat may lead to forms of intestinal intoxi- cation; too much coffee may make one nervous and easily irritated; too many cigars may break down one's health slowly and insiduouslyand may completely transform a- man who otherwise is of a sweet and gentle disposition into one who has—as we say --a disagreeable personality. An exact definition of personality is difficultto give. What most of us have in mind when we use this term e '] refers' to the probably makes impression which m on his fellowmen by his appearance, manner of speech, character of his •smile, etc. When we. examine these traits or character- istics we find that they have a founda- tion in .physiology. There is the. her- editary factorwhich refers to the likeness of offspring to parent: We inherit stature, features, color of eyes,. teen of voice, nervous and muscular. tc DLDEN-brown toast crispan piping hot, mahie " made right at your breakfast table, with" the Hotpoint Reversi- ble Toaster."

Debility may come from a number of causes: The after effects of acute illness, lack of nourish- ment due to poor digestion, overwork , or worry, or anything that makes the blood thin, thereby preventing it from carrying nourishment and, health to the tissues of the body. The symp- toms of debility vary, but weakness is always present, often a tendency to be easily fatigued, spots passing before the eyes, weals bank, dizziness, wake- fulness caused by inability to stop thinking, and unrefreshiug sleep. Mr, Lorenzo, L. Gamache, Rockland, Ont., was a severe sufferer from, this trouble and tells how he found release. He says:—"Two years ago I was In that condition which medical men call general debility. I made periodical visits to Montreal for fourteen months to undergo electric treatment. At the end of this time I was feeling well and thought with proper care I would con- tinue in good health. But In the course of a month or so the symptoms came back more acute than ever, I lost ap- petite and. could hardly sleep during the night, and what eleep I had was dieturbed with nightmares. I had headaches and the least effort was telling on my nerves. I alwaye felt pains . somewhere, and had to lose much time, After suffering for three month's, trying various things without good results, I was terribly depressed' and dieheartened. One day I met a friendd who noted ho wpale and thin I was and he so strongly recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I deter mined to give them a fair trial. I got RIX boxes and began the treatment at once, After I had taken four boxes I began to notice an improvement in my health, i could sleep better, and I scarcely had a headache. Since that time my health has been steadily im- proving and now I. feel just as well as ever. I have gained twenty pounds since I began the treatment, Now I would not be without Dr. *Williams' 'Pink Pills. in the home; and strongly recommend them to all who suffer from a depressed system and the aches that follow," You oan get these pills through any medicine dealer, or by mail at. 60 ets. a box or six boxes for $260 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockvile, Ont.
