One evening a man pushed up to the curb of Tremont Street a handcart laded with white pond lilies. I had Lever seen anything so beautiful. He wanted us newsboys to sell the lilies on the street at five cents a burial:a We were to get a cent and a half for each bunch we sold. Just holding them in my hands made me tingle all over. My parents lived in the slums and almost the only flowers I ever saw were in the public aardens be- hind Don't Touch signs. Right,' then 1 decided to became a -twist. Tete years later I had a. cart and newsboys were working for me, selling flowers I bought from florists at the end of the day. At 20 I had savea $300, and I started my own shop. The largest order for owers J ever had was for a aecerit wedding: 30,0000 alossoms, including 12,000 peonies and several hundred orchids. But the order that stirred. the most was a dozen yellow roses that I sold two years ago. " Two bays and a, girl' came inone afternoon. They were about ten, rag- ged, but with clean faces and hands. ''he boys toek 'off their caps, and! one stepped forward and sail solemnly, "We're the committee and we'd like some very nice yellow flowers." " I showed them, some in,expensive spring flowers, and the boy said, "I think we'd like something better than that." "Do they have to be yellow?" "Yes, sir," the boy said. "You see, mister, Mickey would like 'ern better if they was yellow. He had a yellow sweater." I asked quietly, "Are they for a funeral?" The body nodded. The girl was trying hard to keep back are tears. "She's his sister," the boy said."He was a good kid. A truck—yesterday —We was 'playin' in the street. We caw it happen." His lips were trem- bling. The ;other boy said, tale kids took up a collection. We got 18 cents. Would—would roses cost an awful lot, mister? Yellow rosesi" "I have some nice yellow roses here," I said, "that I'm selling for 18 cents a dozen." I showed therm to the committee. "Gee, those will be swell," said one of the boys. "Mickey'd like those," the other boy confirmed. "I'll make up a nice spray," I said, "with ferns and a ribbon. Where, shall I send it?" ' One of the boys said, "Would it be all eight, mister, it we took 'em? We'd, kinda like to—You know, take 'am ov- er and—sort of give 'em to Mickey— ourselees. He'd like it better that way." So I accepted the 18 cents, and the comrmittee, with the kind of flowers Mickey -would; like, trudged out ot the store. I felt uplifted for days. Unbeknown to them I had had a part in their tribute to their friend. 1937 registration litotes commemorate Coronation Year with crowns and white figures on red back- ground.

The "name "Cold". shows that we have an idea that a chill has some- thing to do with causing it. When an idea laste„. for handreds of years, there is sure to be some truth in it. A- chill, however caused, whether by -Wearing insufficient or unsuitable clothing, •or by sitting in a araught thus causing the body to be colder in. one part than 111 another, or by get- ting your 'feet wet, or by getting some other, part of your body wet aed, by that wetting being prolonged, as when yea sit in wet clothes—such, a chill is not the cause of a cold. All ethe chill does is to lessen. your resistance, to pull you aown below pat in warmth awl comfort, to affect. your circula- tion, ,so that your skin does not enjoy the warmth and comfort of your cir- culating blood, which keeps your whole bode. warm, from the centre to the skin. The good oirculation. of blood in your skin Is pa icularla im- portant. By all means, en„if you want to prevent cold's-, a old dialing and keep yourself co.' able. If aou get wet, keep g, walking smart- ly, or ru og if you can, until you get to where you can take off „your wet clothing, rub yourself hard all over with a .bath towel till your skin is in a glow and put on dry clothing. If symptoms of a cold or other ill- ness develop, then the , patient should, stay in bed in his -own room until the symptoms subside. This is the best thing for him and it is necessary in order to protect others. A cold is a general infection. It affects the whole body. The cause of a eold is a germ or perhaps It is something that is like a germ, called a virile. ; Any dis- charge from the nose or throat, all of the patient's secretions are full of this infection. It is thus easily trans- missible by hands, ,handkerchiefs, door -knobs, etc., or by coughing and sneezing, and the only. way to. -Avoid spreading the' infection is tbat the ,patient should stay in bed in his own. room till the period of infection •Is ever. Children take any disease, includ- •inig colds, more easily than grown-up people. Children with a cold, howev- er slight, should never be allowed to go to school. A child with a cold' comes to school, exchanges pencils or books or touches ;hands, or drinks out of a common cup, etc., so that the in- fection passes from one ;Child to an- other and in short time nearly all the childiren in the class may be infected an;d1 carry, the infection home with them. The infection:1as carried fur- ther next day by the members of their families and so the Caminon Cold beeomes epidemic in the corn- munity. • No one with a cold should be al- lowed to spread the infection to others in the house, school, office, factory, street ear, cburch, theatre, or any- where else. If tire first case were cared for safely and comfortably in bed, most colds would be prevented.

Ontario contestants carried' off major aonors throughout the meet, which was featured by a raeord at- tendance of 85,000 spectators. Hon.
