Denning a Goon Liar
A good liar is an asset to a commu-
nity or a nation—or not as the case
'may be. And one of tuts basic attrib
utes must be an abdity to at least
give the hearer the notion that he
may be telling the truth. Take Littler,
Lor instance. People don't know woe
ther tio believe him ot not. He might
be but you laeel 75 per cent, sure that
he ain't.—Saelt Star
Buried Treasure
It was a most inspiring address
which Hon. Charles McCrea, former
Minister of Mines, gave last night.
Mr, McCrea spoke on How Mining
Betters Business, a subject which ap•
peals strongly to his enthusiasm and
one which ew are more competent
to discuss than he. But Mr. McCrea's
enthusiasm is based ou actual know'.
edge and experience; t s not the airy
optimism o the visionary, but the
considered judgment of an expert. In
fact, he is able to present ample faith
that is in him. Canada has advanced
far beyond the stage of probability:

has spectacularly revealed its wealth
and Is continually giving further proof
of its latent riches

ence." A big claim, certainly, but
one not lightly advanced."—Ramilton

Wanton Destruction
In some people there is a stronger
desire towards wilful destruction
than in others. Why some people do
some of the things they do in the
way of unnecessary and mean destruc-
tion is difficult to understand.

Nothing to Fool With
There is a great deal that the doc-
tors do not know about influenza, but
they do know pretty well what to
do about it. In all varieties of it, it
may be laid down as a general princip-
al that you had better coddle your-
self a bit about it, before you get
tt and after; and that, if you get it,
you had better on no account try to
'tough it out."
Mils is old-fashioned treatment, but
the best doctors seem to agree that
it is the best. It means going to bed
end staying Nam for a day or two;
and it means put in the converse, not
going out to expose yourself to fur-
ther chills and infections, and the risk
of pneumonia.
11 means also not going where you
ean contribute your own collection of
4erms to the general infection. influ-
enza, even of the mild sort, is a bad
thing to fool with.—Vancouver Prov

THE EMPIRE
The Anglo -Italian Mediterranean pact, signed in Rome recently, states that the two
powers, in the cause of general peace and security, agree ndt to modify the existing sivation in
the Mediterranean and to respect each other's rights and interests. Sir Eric Drummond, British
Ambassador in Rome, is here seen signing for Great Britain, and Count Ciano, standing watch-

the year seem like a retrospective Old

been our own. in addition we have

TORONTO.—A decided reduction in
