MUNICIPAL, EXTRAVAGANCE, This can be done very satisfactorily if common eheesecleth - the cheapest grade -is first tecised On the boards to be papered. Use email tacks With good sized heads. The strips need not be sewed together. but edges should be taelsed so they will meet well. The muslin should be stretched very tightly, and care should be taken to have the meeting edges come in middle of the board; the cracks between the boards must be covered. After the cloth is tacked on the boards, paper just as you would a ceiling. Many contend that you should paste the cloth, a strip at a time just before you put on the pasted paper. If well done, it will be smooth and no cracks in the paper. Unless the paper on walls is extra good, or new cannot be had, it hardly pays for the housewife to try to clean it, as it is hard work and very unsatis- factory. A good paper, well put on, should last for several years; a cheap paper well cared for will last for two or three seasons, and will freshen up the room wonderfully. A room that has been whitewashed must be gone over with hot vinegar, using a brush or cloth. Then, after letting well dry, it should be gone over with a sizing, made of glue, before putting on the paper. Co-operative societies are very num- erous in Europe, The Times to new subscrib- till Dec. 31st, 1915, for $1.00 (Stratford Beacon) Collier's quotes Governor Glyn of New iork State As saying in a recent speech: "New York State is engaged in building 12,000 miles of roads which we wear out forty years before they are paid for." And makes this comment: "The at- titude which lies behind this utterance is rare among public men. The person who looks at public finance in this way has sound ideas aboet the administra- tion of the commnnity's business. We want good roads, but we want them financed right. Many towns and cities throughout the country have been piling up bonded debts which must sorely tax the resources of coming generations Some of these municipal debts, it is safe to say, considering the shifting population and other economic develop ments, probably never will be paid. Governor Glyn is one of the few State executives to realize the social menace in this situation." These strictures have a local appli- cation. Are there not too many mort- gages on the future being drawn in Ontario - particularly in municipal im- prevements? The enormous municiral debts that have been contracted in recent years by the easy facilities for borrowing over long terms of years have undoubtedly lesi, to extravagance. The tightening of the money market may have the effect of curtailing this evil, but it will not unless a healthy local feeling is developed in support of economy. .0011•0101,01010.••••11. • eaeee•000••04.e••••••••eoeseee•••••••••••••••+••••• • • ,,.... y • 0 • • -go !The Times • • Clubbing List': • • • • • o • • 40 • • * mew 1101111111 o 9 o (.. a. • • o • • Mr. • • Varies and Saturday Globe 1.90 Times and Daily Globe 3.75 ' 4. 4 0 4 -• Times and Daily World3.10 * 4 . o Times and Family Herald and Weekly Star.... 1.85 * * • Timesand Toronto Weekly SA11 1.85 4). • • * Times and Toronto Daily Star 2.80 4> 4 .•.• • 4' Times and Toronto Daily News.. 2.80 • • Times and Daily Mail and Empire. • 3.76 • • 4. 4, Times and Weekly Mail and Empire... ... 1.60 • • * 2.35 , 0. 4, Times and Farmers' Advocate .. 4 • Times and Canadian Farm (weekly) .1,60 • * . . • Times and Farm and Dairy 1.80 • 4,• Times and Winnipeg Weekly Free Press. 1.60 • * • 4, 7 + Times and Daily Advertiser (morning) • • • • .5 • • 4.

SOUND BUSINESS MAXIMS. Use Your Ability and Take No Stook In the Law of Chance. Most men who have amounted to anything started with nothing but ability and determination, a combina- tion which recognizes no man made limitations. Any kind of work Is better than idle- ness, which is directly responsible for most of the unhappiness in this world. Idleness is a dangerous thing. It may grow into a habit that might stick to you after you get back in harness, and the man who loafs on his job is only fooling himself. Eternal, intelligent effort is the price of commercial growth, and where there Is no progression there is bound to be retrogression. /liminess is something like aeroplaning-to stop is to drop, and to drop is generally to bust. If I had an enemy and wanted to get even 'with him I could wish him noth- ing worse than to land in a soft job and get the loafing habit. It 'would only be a question of time before he or the job petered out, and the longer he held on the worst off he'd be in the end, for there is a law of compensa- tion which somehow or other makes us work in old age for the time we waste In youth or suffer if we can't make good. Pin your faith to this law of com- pensation, but don't take any stock in the law of chance; there's no such thing. Waiting for something to turn up in the belief that thing's are bound to come your way eventually is throw- ing dice with fate. Many a good dog never got a decent bone until his teeth were gone. -Maurice Switzer in Les- lie's. GOLF WITH ANY OLD CLUB. He Was a Shy Man, TO°, but Surprised the Clever Amateur. He was standing looking idly round him when I came forward to the starting tee at BInclthill golf course. a little dapper man, whom any one would have guessell could not play for nuts. Perhaps that latter idea is what caused me to ask if he meant to play a round. I should love to give some- body a proper whacking. "I would like a round," he said, al- most shyly, "but 1 have no clubs." This was not a chance to be missed. I would let him use mine. How pleas- ed he was in his simple way. Any old club would do for every shot. "Well, well," I crooned to myself; "if the man is out for a thorough drub- bing I nu: the last to deny him It." Ile took a dirty ball from his pocket, made an easy sort of swipe at it, an I Imre Dever seen a ball so eager to get to the hole as that one was. Ms method of attnek seemed to consist of one or two iron shots and a putt. I will vouch for it that he deliberately allowed me to win n bole or two. I have never felt so completely humiliat- ed in all my life, yet he was quiet, in- offensive and almost shy. "You are a brilliant golfer," I gush- ed as we made for the nineteenth hole. "Oh, ay, I ha'e to bel" be said quiet- ly. "It's my work, ye see; it's my work!" Why don't those professionals try to look more like real golfers? -Glasgow News. THE WEAK SPOT IN THE BACK. When the kidneys get ill the back gives out. But the back is not to blame. The ache comes from the kidneys, which lie under the small of the back. Therefore, dull pain in the back, or sharp, quick twinges, are warnings of sick kidneys -warnings of kidney trouble. Plasters and liniments will not cure a bad back, for they cannot reach the kidneys which cause it. Doan's Kidrtey Pills reach the kidneys themselves. They are a special kidney and bladder medicine. They heal the diseased surface of kidneys and bladder, and help them to act freely and naturaHy. Mrs. Chester Romain, Port Coulonge, Que., writes: "I had been troubled with sore back for over leer years, and could get nothing to do me any good until I heard of your Doan's Kidney Pills.

Used For Barns, Silos, Henhouses, Bridges and Cellars. Not long ago the farmer hardly knew what concrete was. Now he builds barns, silos, henhouses, bridges and cellars of it. Where some years ago the farmer used a pile of old boards, a saw and a hammer to build his ben coop, his gate post and his water trough, he usually now takes part of a bag of cement, mixes It with sand and gravel and :adapts concrete to his purposes. Today he has many appliances about the farm that are neat, that are sani- tary and that last forever. This change started with silos and fence posts, and there is no end to the uses to which the handy man about the house can put the versatile machine.

A,rriving there, he banged down a sovereign at the'booking office and said, "A ticket." "Where for?" asked the astonished elerk. "Free Trade hall," replied Chester- ton. "Oh. Glasgow, then!" said the clerk, and Gilbert, assenting, received a tick- et for that station. Stepping Into the street at Glasgow, he was hailed by a friend: "Hullo, Chesterton! What are you doing aere?" "Oh, I'm lecturing at the Free Trade ming "Oh, no; you're not," said the friend. "Oh, yes; I am," protested Chester- ton. "I booked the engagement seine mouths ago." "Rut you cannot be," maintained the friend, "for the place is being reno- vated and the painters are in." it slowly dawned upon Chesterton that he was at the wrong place, and he, further to justify his claim to greatness, sent a telegram to his wife: "Am here.
