MANNERS AND MORALS
• There are two qualitiess that are
erssentiai to anyone who would make
-the most of himself. The one is
"morals and the other is manners,
'Without morals, the individual can
never come to his own, or develop
the best that is in him — apparent
-brilliant exceptions ,to the contrary
notwithstanding—but as a discip-
-line of character manners are not
`far behind morals. Indeed, morals
and manners are akin and in the
—truest sense one cannot have one
'without the other, for the roots of
"the two qualities are very similar.
Manners may be defined as the
most attractive way of meeting oth-
ers and making life richer and hap-
pier for others; and none makes a
greater or finer contribution to so-
- ciety than the man of good man
ners. Such a one is in himself first
of all a man of independence; he
• never strives to please, he pleases
-without ,striving; he never cringes
nor defers obsequiously, he has too
much respect for himself, which is
- one of the foundation stones of
character and influence. He has no
inferiority nor superiority complex.
-Ile neither feels himself to be in-
significant, and what is of equal son-
sequence, gives no one else the feel-
ing of insignificance.
But apart from their intrinsic
worth, good manners are an asset
'in cold dollars and cents. Men of
'gifts have frequently ruined their
chances of getting on in life through
`bad manner?, The best investmen4
'one can snake in life is good morals
and the second is like unto it—good
manners. Courtesy is an asset. —

I was struck last week by the re-
port of the meeting of a women's
club, held in an adjacent township, a
report which was written without a
thought of its significance, I would
be willing to lay a wager, and yet
which was very significant, as show-
' ing the varied nature of a woman's
work. At this meeting the ladies,
instead of answering "present," when
their names were called, answered by
givng a soup recipe, and during the
'afternoon four ladies each demon-
• strated a different kind of soup,
.ra
Then as part of the program one
member read a paper discussing the
question, "Would the Preven.
tion of the Publication of
Crime News Aid in the Prevention
of Crime"" a paper which was also
pronounced ,good, one displaying
thought and care in its preparation.
Then to cap all the whole company
sat down around the frame and
quilted a quilt. Doesn't the above
prove that woman is a versatile
creature, one who, pan be depended
upon to make a success of anything
she sets her hand—or mind—upon.
Women are coming along, the world
has only begun to realize what they
can really perform. I should like to
come back to this earth in another
couple of hundred years and take a
squint at the improvements which
will in that "bine be wrought, im-
provernent3 which I feel sure women
will have had a very important part
in bringing about. The. Creator
meant men and. women to work to-
gether
ogether in managing this universe and
it will never be run to the best ad-
vantage until women have their pro.
Per share of responsibility in running
it.

MEASLES TREATED T00 LIGHT-

PROFESSOR
Measles is by no means a benign
disease, thinks the French professor
Nobecout, whose veiws are set forth
in the Concours Medical (.Paris).
Measles, he fears is on the increase.
The malady is malignant in the case
of the mere babe, and if the child be
less than a year old, the utmost cau-
tion is required. Parents take meas-
les too lightly.
It ie responsible for more deaths
than diphtheria, whooping -cough, or
scarlatina. Then we get these further
interesting facts:
"In one decade measles caused in
Europe about a million fatalities. This
hecatomb comprised principally babes
especially the youngest.
"How are we to account for the inn
tnunity of certain babes, and what is
the effectiveseess of such immensity?
How long does it Last?
"Observation shows that mothers
who have had measles impart im-
munity to their offspring.
"The immunity of the babe appears
to be absolute during the first two
months of its life, and practically so
during the first three months. It

"A babe whose mother never had

orities affirm that the mother who

WOMEN CAN STOP PEDDLER
NUISANCE
House to house peddlers and 'sol-
icitors of orders for this and that are
becoming an ever greater nuisance to
the many Prince Edward County
housewives who are complaining to
civic authorities to take action, and
publishers are being asked to expose
the growing nuisance. Still the house-,
wife whose home is constantly in-
vaded by these itinerant supersales
men, has the remedy in her own
hands.
A timely suggestion, along this line
is made by Prof. Conrad, who pointe
out that the peddler who boasts that
his firth has no store is trying tc
make a store out of your home. You
are expected to furnish a place where
he may do business free from the ex-
pense which other merchants must
pay.
Besides, he insists on making you
shop at his convenience, no matter
how much it may interfere with your
daily routine. He takes up your time
arguing you into buying something
you neither want nor need. Some-
times yeti buy to get rid of him, when

you ought to say: "This is a come,
not a place of bdsinsse, and I ant not
going to allow you to use it as a
store. Good day."
That might seem rather inconsid-
erate, But it is one, way of discoure
aging the peddler, who has not the
slightest consideration of your peace
and comfort, but uses your home as a
market place, in unfair competition
with home merchants, who pay taxes,
licehse fees, and in other ways con-
tribute to the welfare of the core-
munity. Picton Gazette.
BAHAMAN SPONGES FOR ROYAL
BATIHS
It is likely that the traffic in
sponges from the Bahamas to Canada
will increase within/ the next few
years, as a result of scientific culture
methods.
The Bahamas once thrived on its
sponge trade. The disappearance of
sponge beds due to movement caused
by storms discouraged the industry,
which now prospers on the Florida
coast, though Bahama sponges .are
still brought to Canada in Canadian
National ships and are received duty
free here.
Attempts to "incubate" and culti-
vate sponges from choice stock by
attaching bits of the growth to
shells and casting the "plant" into
coastal waters, may prove a boon to
the industry. Meantime the sponge
trade is far from completely neglect-
ed in and around Nassau, the colony's
capital.
Recently two Bahama sponges, a
fine big one and an attractive little
one, were sent as presents to Queer
Mary and Princess Elizabeth.

TeDITORIAS,: The editor of The
News -Record has recieved from Mr,
Thos. Rance, an old Clintonian, now
of Evanston, a sample ballot paper
circulated by the Democratic Coni'
mittee of the Fourth Congressional
' District. A glance at the document
convinces one that there is a vast dif-
ference in favor of Canada as to the
voting machinery and governing pow-
ers of the two countries. The United
States elect their judiciary by vote,
in Canada we do not. In fact almost
everything froth President down to
the most venal position is elective.
The people of Canada would never
adopt such a ballot system, much Gess

guize of annexation. (And .you see,
we have not. Then, note the same
objection; to the U.S.A, methods as
we heard voiced during the recent
election.)

Sullen and dark are November's skies
In eddying gusts the dead leaves
swirl,
And winds blow chill. as the first

While from the chimneys grey

aglow,

And naught care we for the falling

Darker it grows, and the snow falls

Blanketing all with a mantle white.
Transforming earth, by a magic trick
Into a fairyland, over night.

EARTHBOUND
We are so bound to earth and all
Her moods, her vagaries,
Her little tasks of every day,
Her woes and pleasantries.
That often this is true—we lose
Far heights that shine and glow,
So busy with the little things
We think the heart must know.
These are OUT lives, small rivalries,
The search for food, the fear
Of petty losses -this makes up
The sum from year to year.
And there are clouds and stars and
spring;
We heed them not or thus
For idling just a little while
To chat of or discuss.
The fullest beauty of the earth,
Of life and dreams and mind,
Goes sighing out an open heart
A resting place to find.

WILY?
Why do we quarrel with our ken
And hurt the folk we love,
And seldom try a smile to win,
And yet, like cooing dove
We speak to strangers in the train
And never think to cause them pain
'why do we smile on children small
As though they angels were,
And yet, as soon as they grow tall,
Kind speech and act infer—
Since surely those who know us best,
Should with sweet courtesy be
blessed?
Why do we lay our manners by,
When we go home at night,
Letting all gracious greetings fly
Like swallows out of sight,
Since to the folk of board and bed,
No word ungentle should be said?

High up in the mountain,
Darkly deep and serene,
Like a gem it has lain
In a setting of green.
High up in the green hills,
And yet laid very low,
Into a stream it spills,
Whero soft the breezes blow.
Bright eyes of the mountain,
Reflecting all it sees,
Centuries it has lain.
Fringed by the trees.
There water lilies grow,
Beside tall brown cat -tails.
There the light breezes blow
My dream boat as it sails.

For Love's sweet ritual of wine and

While from my heart glad songs of

That with these mercies my cup run-

And thaugh my homespun lack soft

For mine are blessings given unto
