In the second picture, the Why Did Warren Steal? Warren was home from school. He had stolen some money that another pupil had Ieft lying on his desk. The parents had been summoned; there had been a secret tribunal and War- ren had been brought home until the mortified and astonished parents could decide what to do. Warren's mother told me all about it. "What shall we do?" she finished tearfully. "He has disgraced himself for life and brought. shame upon us. Can you imagine what would make arty son steal?" If I had fully answered Ada's ques- tion, I should' have said something like this: "You did not know that you taught hint to be dishonest! "Your son has been surrounded by petty forms of dishonesty all his life. 'One day just before Warren went to school, you. returned from a drive in the country with a number of fine peaches in the bottom of the car. ,Bone one remarked that you must have a good friend in the country. 'Yes,' you said laughingly, 'only he doesn't know he is our friend.' Little Warren helped his father gather those peaches to which you had no right. "In your bathroom to -day I saw a towel stamped with the name of a hotel you had visited. "One day last summer I heard you tell -of the clerk's making a mistake of a dollar in your change. 'In your favor?' your husband asked. 'Of course in atny favor,' you answered. 'I would have told hint if it had not been.' Your boy heard that. 1 sup.-' pose he often has heard similar things. "Another time as you gathered up your groceries at. the store you acci- dentally picked up from the counter a pound of butter for which you had not paid. You discovered it after you reached home but instead of return-; big it to the grocer you said, 'Oh, well, We're a pound of butter ahead! And at that it won't begin to pay back for the times he has sent the poor' goods.' "I have heard you telt how you escaped paying your fare to the city sand how you used an old transfer on the street car, "You glanced at a borrowed hook one day and remarked that you might as well keep it now—you had had it to long that the lender hadforgotten all about it.

Now, frankly, what could you expect of e 1 child brought up in your home?" s I did not put it so bluntly as that to Ada. I tried to make her see that Warren's notions of honor had been i S 'ained from his environment.

The French capital, since the sign- ing of the armistice. has been the' meeting place of soldiexs of fortune from many lands who decided to make the cessation of hostilities merely fur- lough time. Like their great mentor, Napoleon, they found their golden op. portunity its the historic :city that has sheltered so many free lances of ro. mance. ., Alpe' I A writer says: "Paris, in the declin ing days of the C.E.F., was a blearing house for the venturesome souls o the world. France always did have a genius for attracting the naturally combative spirits of the rest of the world, and in the earliest days of the war recruited the French Foreign Le gion of brave men from a score of na- tions. So when the market of the late war went stale, to Paris came the procurers for the future ware of all the little nations established by the Peace Conference. "A soldier of the C. E. P. lucky enough to be discharged in ]?lance could have enlisted any day last sum- mer in Paris under one of a score of brand new Sags. • The demand was for trained soldiers with qualities of leadership. Many C. E. F. veterans did enlist, some of them without tak- ing the trouble to clear away certain complications in the way of obtaining honorable discharges from. their own army caused by prolonged vacation. There were Australians and Yankees also who were not fed up and jumped at the chance," Poisonous Plants of Canada. The old saying that "Oise man's meat is another man's poison" sp- ears to be true in the case of differ- nt kinds of live stock. It is a fact hat some plants which poison horses re not injurious to cattle or sheep, nd some which cause loss among cat - p e a a tie and sheep are not eaten by swine and horses, In Bulletin No. 39, Second Series et the Experimental Farms, "Principal Poisonous Plants of Cana- da," by Miss Faith Pyles, B.A,, obtain- able free upon application to the Publi- cations Branch, Department' of Agri- culture, Ottawa, a list of plants which do injury to the various classes of animals is given. The bulletin, which is prepared for live stock owners, gives information regarding poisonous .plants and enables the farmer to dis- tinguish the most harmful species in his neighborhood so that he may be able to avoid pasturing animals on In- fested areas until the danger is past. The yearly loss due to plant poisoning Is known to be on the increase, hat the amount of the loss is not ascer- tainable because nutty fatalities aro attributed to other causes through lack af. knowledge of poisonous plants.

Twenty year„ or more ago, when the earliest attempts were made to engage in fur farming, the silver fax was about the only ani- mal whose pelt offered sufficient in- ducement to experimenters to face the many difficulties and the risk of loss. Some of these men succeeded, how- ever, and reaped considerable - pe- cuniary rewards- for iliemselves, be- sides establishing a new Canadian in- dustry. To -day; the breeding of smaller tur- bearers presents opportunities to men with a liking to "take a change." The recent spectacular rise in fur prices has been mainly in the cheaper grades —muskrat, raccoon, mink, skunk, etc. The stimulus 'thus given to trapping threatens these animals with ester- inination, in spite of close seasons.

Vile might recast the idea by saying that everybody is either pessimistic, optimistic oi' pro- gressive. Surely iio argument•is need: ed to prove how the spirit is poisoned by pessimism. Not only does it pois- on the soul, but the mind and body as well. . The dance referred to is a system of living falsely, called optimism. It is a, flighty, frivolous, devil-may-care creed which says: "I never worry about anything. I'm going: to, enjoy life while I live, for when'I'die I']1 be a Icing time dead. I'ni going to eat, drink and be merry." The march of triumph is the most acceptable of the three kinds of liv- ing, for It debars pessimism and hi - eludes optimism plus progress and icommon sense. But wouldn't it be'ad- visable to halt occasionally in the march of triurfzph and indulge in a bit of the dance? It is mighty hard for us to constantly keep ourselves strung up to the very highest tension of discipline. Billy Sunday once said tliai„'.God must have believed in a little fun or else he wouldn't have made monkeys and parrots, There are scores of people whose entire makeup seems ideal except for the lack of a deletkof nonsense. The fact is that often the nonsensi- cal way 'of expressing an idea is often the most effective. For instance, the apparently absurd phrase, "nothing to do but nothing," is more forceful than a lengthy discourse on the injurious effects of idleness or the value of con- stant employment. Once a negro put a profound psychological truth into comical phraseology when somebody tauntingly remarked that he was afraid to do a certain thing. His re- ply was, "I's not afeard, I's afeard I's gwi:ne to be afoared."

PRODUCTS Health Quinsy. Quinsy is the popular term. for a severe form of inflammation of the tonsil and its surrounding tissues, ac- companied by the formation of pus, In other words, it is an abscess of the tonsil or beside it. It may begin as an ordinary sore throat or simple tonsillitis, '.ii] which the tonsil is seen to' be red and swollen and dotted with little whitish points caused by the excretion oozing from the mouths of the duets, or "erypts," of the organ. The inflammation does not yield to simple remediee, but pereists and grows more severe, until patient and physician alike are convinced that a qu=nsyr is pre:;ent. In other eases the disease begins as it is going to eon- tinue--•a full-fledged and unmistak- able suppurative tonsillitis, or (piney. It begins en o:!•, side, and, fortun- ately, ft ttsmtally remains confined to that side, though oceasionally ate fuse tonsil begins to get well the other one becomes inflamed, and the whole mis- erable process ,.fust be gone through with again. In a swell -developed attack of quinay the throat is greatly- swollen and ex- trent:Its painful, The swelling some- times makes breathing diff!celt, and both the swelling and the pain inter- fere with swallowing and so prevent taking any nourishment or ever water. Both the tons:l and all the sur- rounding parts and also the glands in the sept are swollen so- that any movement of the head is painful. • Spontaneous pain, as well as that in- duced by movement, exists; it is felt both inside and outside, and it radi- ates into the ear on the afie'te d gide. The swelling of the glands and ()thee • tissues induces st.ffnees of the jaw, 'which can only with diffieult•y lie opened to take food, even if the condi- tion of the throat permits it;, being swallowed. The mouth is hot and dry, and the saliva is thick and sticky, The treatment' of a threatening quinsy is undertaken with 'the hope of arresting the inflammation before the abscess begins to forst. The patient should be put to bed, end he. should take a dose of salts or of castor • oil at once- At the same time cold cloths, renewed frequently, or- an .lee bag should be applied externally over the region of the affected tonsil. Bi- carbonate of soda, in doses of half -a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water, should be taken four times in the day, and 4he same substance in powder may be applied directly to the tonsil by means of a powder blower. I1 those • measures fail and the abscess forms, it should be opened freely by the phy- sician so as to let out the confined pus. The Sugar -Beet Iridustry. !i. recent bulletin by the Department of Trade and Commerce on the sugar industry in Canada states that 204,017 tons of sugar beets was used in sugar manufacture in 1018. The cost of the beets at the works was $2,593,715, or • $12.22 per ton, In 1918, Canada had 18,000 acres in sugar beets, which yielded 10 tons per acre, at a value of $10.25 per ton, In 1919, the acreage was increased to 24,500, the yield averaged 9.80 tons • per acre, and the price advanced to .85 ton. in 1919per, sugar was approximately $10 11 cents per pound; at present, granu- lated sugar is 23 cents per pound and may be higher. The enormous. de- mand for sugar, and the fact that Europe will not for some years pro6 duce anything approaching her pre- war quota of sugar beets•, promises to continue a serious shortage in the world up, Condltrlsiontsplyin the beet -growing coun- tries of. Europe have materially aha.nged since the close of the war. Previously, large hoidens of land de- voted much of the acreage to beets. The large estates in Russia, Poland, ' Hungary and in many parts of Ger- many have. bean its many cases broken up into small holdings, which will be used by their now owners for growing other crops. The small farmers are not so well equipped with implements and tools, and the lack of fertilizers is also being severely felt. These condi. tions will have a serious bearing upon the production. There thus appears to be a good opportunity for Canada to again this year largely increase the acreage devoted to this crop. A by-product in the manufacture of beet sugar is"the residue known as beet pulp. When mixed with residual molasses, a by-product of the refining Process, this beet pulp makes an ex- cellent cattle food. Compliments Alt Round.
