FIRST PRIZE ESSAY
The Advantage of Reading Good
Books
The following is the first prize es-
say in a contest recently put on by
Principal A. L. Posliff of the Wing-
hant Public School.
As we go through life we often
hear people, especially our mothers,
say tI•leir children spend more time
reading books from the library, than
they do helping; her. Sometimes this
is quite true and they do read more
than they help her. We should not
let our mothers do all the work but
should outside of school hours do any
odd jobs she may have for us. But
our mothers and'. fathers should see
that the books we do read are good,
true and sensible or else not let us
read • at all. If the child fills his mind
with such nonsense before he goes to
school naturallylie will not Abe as,,
studious as he would_ .baye .-otherwise,
been --
But there are reasons why a boy or
girl should belong to the library for
there are histories of our own free
Dominion and that of our friends the
other "countries together, with the bio-
graphies of great : men, such as . 'Mi-
lian Ewart Gladstote, Sir John A. Mc-
Donald and David Lloyd George our
late premier of Great Britain. Now,
• Y'M7n:av S et w`i,
for the boys and girls of today are!
the men and wenten of to -Morrow
and on us lies the :responsibility of
pair country as some of the boys and
eycrl girls must be premiers, members
of parliament, both federal aaud pro
vincial and the mayors, reeves and
councillors of the towns and cities.
We should riot destroy books whe-
ther good or bad. When we see those
clean histories and biographies there
are other books with the back off, the
corners turned down, the pages and
back (if it happens to be on) all
written :over and very often all the
leaves are not there. This is quite
sinful and as I said before we should
take better care of books.
I do not wish to make everybody
think that I mean no stories should.
be read and all history. Oh! no,
for that would be nearly as ,bad as
none at all, . But 1 do mean that stor-
ies of Dickens, Shakespeare and po-
ems should be read to give children
a better and more clear understand-
ing of proper literature. But no.
When one goes into a public library
all such books (if there are : any of
such in it) would appear with nice
clean covers and no torn or dog leaf-
ed pages, as when they first entered
that building.
When the pioneers, our grandfath-
ers and even fathers were children,
they had not the chance to be educat-
ed as we have. The only books they
owned were school books which, I
dare say they could say off by heart
were they asked. Sometimes when a
new settler came he would bring a
new book with him This would be
land- person by another till it.
is not probable the owner ever got
the loan of his own book again. I
have not the slightest doubt that the
children will agree with ane. but I
think some of their mentioned parents
do not teach their offspring what sort
of books to pick and have them learn
that kind of knowledge the other
countries will not look up to Canada
but on the contrary look down on her

THE OLD DAYS, THE YOUNG

Oh, the old days, the dead days,
The days that used to be,
The dead days, the young days,
The days that laughed with me,
When the bloom was on the landscane
And when glory on the sea,
And when the light that never wavers
Filled all the world for me.
Oh, the young days, the dear 'days,
The days that used to be,
When she came through the garden -
ways
And brought my world to me,
The apple blossoms sifted down,
The sky was bright above,
And all my being was attuned
To happiness and love.
Despite the heartache' and sorrow
Of the winters that came after,
I thank the Lord for that dear Spring
Of happiness and laughter.
Somehow I know that when I come
To his pleasure at last,
1 Shall behold her and regain
The rapture of the past.

1 Health Restored by
The Fruit Treatment
---4
Fourteen years ago, Mr. James S.
Delgaty, of Gilbert . Plains, Man.,
was a nervous wreck. His system was.
shattered by ~ Nervous Prostration,
and he was reduced in weight from
170 to 115 pounds.
He wrote on May 15th, 1917,
"Every medicine I tried proved useless
until a friend induced me to take
'Fruit-a-tives.' I began to mend at
once. After using this fruit medicine'
for three months, I was back to normal.
I hayenever had .such good health
as I have enjoyed the past six years.
We are never withopt a box of Fruit-
aathres' in the house."
Writing again on September 27th,
1923, Mr. Delgaty says, I stand by
my letter to you in 1917-1 still
rexniamend'Fruit-a-tives'.
"Fruit-a-tives" is a complete fruit
treatment -being made of the juices
of fresh ripe fruits and tonics.
25c. and 50c. a box -6 for $2.50 -
at druggists or sent postpaid by Fruit-
a-tives Limited, Ottawa.

FOLKS, I WANT TO 13E AT
HOME!
When the grilling day is over and
the sun is going down; when the
shadesof night ate falling on the
country and the town; when the whip -
poor -will is calling and the Wolf be-
gins to roam; when the Mocking Bird
is dozing, then I want to be at home,
When the 'storm cloud's in the off-
ing and the rnighty thunder rolls,
whenthe lightning cleaves the heav-
ens and the squirrel hunts his bole;
when a sickening, inky blackness aides
the azure donne; when . the stomia
breaks in its fury, then I want to be
at home.
When pink rosebuds are swinging
so gently in the breeze, and the glori-
ous sun is shining on the warblers in
the trees; when the air is perfume -
laden and the summer days have
come; when all nature seems a -bloom-
ing, then I want to be at home.
When the winter snows are drifting
in the icy, cutting gale; . when the
whiny wind is moaning a:lonesome
forlorn wail; with icicles on the barn
robf like teeth in a mammoth comb,
when the sparrpws beg their break-
fast,
reamfast, then I want to be at home:
When the pesky college closes and
our girl is home again, cracking jokes �I
and stealing pickles, and a -teasing her 1
"old man" in spite of all obstacles I 0
must be there. when .she comes; when
her laughter's in the hallway, then I
want to be at home;
When life is nearly over, when 1
face the great divide, listening to the
voices calling, to' me from the other
side; when the last great call is
sounded and my final day has come,
there's one prayer that I would offer,
then I: want to be ata Home.
