Safety First on G T.R. The Grand Trunk Railway Company is making a strenuous effort to reduce the personal injury record on their lines. In this campaign for greater safety they find that one of the greatest sources of dauger which they have to combat is that of live stock upon the tracks. These usually get upon the tracks by being allowed to run upon the highways near railway crossings. This practice not only occasions serious loss by the death of the animals, but is a great source of danger to the travel- ling public and the railway employees. A number of serious accidents have recently occurred due to this cause. The farmers, eapecially those living along the railways, can greatly assist in removing this source of danger by keeping their gates and fences in good order, and by seeing to it that stock is not allowed'upon the highway in the vicinity of crossings, also by reporting to the company's employees any defects in the railway fences. Women's Humour. There used to be a foolish rumor that women have no sense of humor, and can't inspire a smile; but Mrs. Rine - hart's joyous stories among their other charms and glories have wit that's worth the while. Her "sense of humor" fairly bubbles and makes a guy forget his troubles, his worries and his debts; of all the cheerful books I treasure, of all which give roe endless pleasure, her novels are my pets. The fiction fans, in countless legions, throughout all sane enPghtened regions. entranced, en- raptured look, wen busy publishers are hinting that they are now engaged in printirig another Rinehart book. That means another round of laughter, without distress or coli e after, a tonie for the mind, a solace for the gout that's weary, a book to eheer the day that's dreary, ad easethe beastly grind. They say that Mary's coining ineney; I hope it's true --a dame so fun- ny should have a big reward; she canto this great and graceful writer, she came to make the grey world brighter, anointed by the Lord.

Advertising Talk. Advertieing is simply salemenship on paper. It is a message from you to the public telling them what you have for sale, why you should have it and why they should come to your place of business to buy. The most simple and direct way in whieh you can do this is the best advertising. All advertising shoeld be absolutely truthful, just as all salesmen should be truthful in handling a customer, in or- der to produce the best results for his concern. A well known American publicity man once said, "You can fool some of the people some of the time. all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool ali of the people all of the time." This ie particularly true in advertising. Clever "copy" and ag- gressive methods will often sell a large quantity of merchandise that has no merits, but this cannot last long and femme or later the public will cease its patronage, and endeavor to tear down any business that is not legitimately advertised. It is a commendable fact that truth in advertisingis feet prevailing. In the old days of quackery arid fakery, a farmer reed an advertisement of a "$2 00" fire escape. CHURCH NOTES.
