"Cultivate the habit of looking on the bright side of things; accept your position cheerfully; throw your soul into your wonk; do courtesies to the people you meet every day; adopt a childlike trust in God." Good rules, of course. But these And all the other rules for happiness that are laid down miss the essential fact. That is that happiness is al- ways a by-product. It never comes to those who concentrate on securing it, The unhappiest person hi the world is the one who constantly pur- sues happiness. Not more elusive was the nymph that fled Apollo than is happiness to those who pursue it as an end and aim. ml It always comes as a result of some- thing else. The pursuit of noble things, the things essentially worth while, brings happiness, As a man goes on life's journey, with a brave heart, doing the best he can and leav- ing the issues "to the powers that wait on noble ends,'' he often hears the faint flutter of invisible wings, he feels a presence, a companion. It is Happiness. Part of the touchingliterature of the war is a little tract that has just appeared in London of quasi -official in- spiration, named "Treasury Rom- ances." James Douglas, who has compiled it, explains that often the patriotism of those who give to Brit- ain's war fund is "buried five fathoms deep in the treasury files." He has brought to light with reticence and discretion a few typical instances of sacrificial loyalty. Here, for ex- ample, is a miner who sang at seven- teen workmen's clubs and inns "for the benefit of the war," and thus gather- ed in driblets twenty pounds. An old woman writes, "I have much pleasure in sending you the pound," which leads the compiler to add, "Her particular and probably her only pound." A child of seven sends a shilling, a poor man transmits nine - pence. From lonely Fanning Island, in the South Seas, come two contribu- tions from natives of the Gilbert Is- lands at work there. A donkeyman aboard a ship bringing meat from Australia writes at the close of an im- passioned letter: "Do not mind the grammar. Grammar does not count as a rule with gentlemen. I inclose a pound as a start." And so it goes. The imperial hope of England is in such hearts as these. CONSCRIPTION IN ENGLAND. Government Strict With Men Trying to Evade Service. The Daily Mail of London conducts a column under the title "Far and Near," devoted to minor happenings and to news briefly told. The follow- ing extracts from this column in re- cent issues will show how strictly the English Government is looking after the "conscientious objectors" and other men who are trying to evade service in the field: Two London objectors who had gone north to evade service were at Glasgow fined £2 each and handed over to the military authorities. "I have no patriotism. I would rather be a slave than fight far free- dom," said Robert Taylor, aged 23, who at Nottingham was fined £2 and handed over to the military authorities.

When Enemy Makes a Counter-attack the Bombers Help to Stop It. Bombers really carry their lives in their hands. The Mills bomb, with its pine -apple -like exterior, is a danger- ous weapon. To use it successfully against an enemy, and at the same time guard against mishaps, requires special knowledge and training. The British soldier takes naturally to bombing—that is, the offensive part, of attacking and hurling the missiles. The Mills bomb is fused by releas- ing a spring, after which it takes a certain number of seconds to explode. It would, therefore, obviously be use- less to release the spring and hurl it into the midst of an onrushing foe if it bursts some seconds later.

For attempting to evade military service by altering his birth certi- fixate so as to make his age appear to be forty-one instead of forty, George Kirby, horseman, was at Epping, Essex, fined 40 shillings. For refusing to join up when call- ed, Rees Jones, of Llansaint, was at Carmarthen fined £10 and handed over to the military authorities. Iris father and a neighbor named Powell were each sent to prison for three months for assaulting the police who went to arrest him. '«— tears give way to seniles.

But French General Says Much Fight- ing Lies Ahead. We are only at the beginning of the end of the war. The antagonism dis- played by the rival forces is such thab only the destruction of one by the oth- er can be conceived, writes General Gabriel Malletini, a French military critic of highest repute. France must be prepared for a third year, which will be more terrible than the first two. But ib will be the last, we hope. If the allies' effort is guid- ed by one hand throughout, and if they throw all their forces into the prepara- tion for it, they will be able to deliver the supreme blow. HM TISM IN F� BLOOD It Can Only Be Cured by Thor- oughly Enriching the Blood Supply. Not so long ago rheumatism was Iooked upon as a pain in the muscles or joints brought on by exposure to dampness or bad weather. Now doc- tors know that it is rooted in the blood, and while exposure may start the pain, nothing but the removal of the poisonous acid from the blood will cure the trouble. It is a waste of both time and money to try to cure rheumatism with liniments, poultices or anything that only goes skin deep. Rubbing lotions into the skin may give temporary relief, but it actually helps to circulate the poisonous acid more freely and' thus in the end in - in an unending line towards the Hun trenches.

At no time in the history of the Dominion has the necessity for in- creased production of eggs and poul- try been more apparent than at the present time. Tho demand is un- precedented. This is true whether for export or for home consumption. Consumers generally and even pro- ducers themselves are eating more and more eggs. The average per capita consumption of eggs in Canada this year .will be greater than ever before. The market for Canadian eggs' and poultry is very firm.

Eggs are scarce in Canada at the present time. Current prices are high, and a sharp decline immediately following the conclusion of the War is not anticipated. When prices advance, gradually, as has been the case in 'staple food products, they decline slowly. It will take some years to re-establish the normal meat supply upon the markets of the world, and while prices of meats are high, peo- ple will continue to use increasingly large quantities of eggs. This condi- tion will naturally be reflected in the matter of price, This is the situa- tive all over the country. The pros- tion. Readers may draw their own pests for a continued demand are very bright. The country is facing a shortage, not only of current re- ceipts, but of Canadian storage stocks as well. So great has been the ex- port demand that we shall be obliged never rested upon a more secure foundation. That poultry on the farm are pro- fitable needs no argument.
