ON HAPPINESS "1Veankind are always happier• for having been happy;. so that if,. you make them happy now you make them happy twenty years hence by the memory of it, A childhood passed with a due mixture of rational indulgence, under fond, wise parents, ' dif- fuses .r over the whole of life a feeling of calm pleasure, and in extreme old age is the very Last remembrance which time can erase from the mind of man. No enjoyment, however, in- consideranle, •is confined to the present moment. A roan is the happier : for life from having once made an agreeable tour, or lived for any length of time with pleasant people, or enjoyed any considerable interval of'in- noeent pleasure; which ' contri- butes to render old men so in- attentive to the scenes before them, and carries them baek to a world that is past and to scenes never to be renewed again." —Sydney Smith. Although written many years ago the above contains a very great deal of wisdom and truth and it blight be well to give consideration to the idea contained. We are too apt, perhaps, to discount the value of happiness; the real service performed by those who diffuse joy and pleasure about them. "Be good, my child, and let who will ibe happy," was perhaps the creed upon_ which many of us were reared. Indeed, I remember of read- ing a serious book once, I've forgot- ten the author and most of what it was about, but I remember that one thing it said was that "God did not care about the happiness of people, B:e wanted them to be good rather than happy." That rather "stuck in my throat" at the time, although I was well used to the idea that the undue seeking after pleasure was a sin. Since that I've discounted that writer's wisdom very much. I do not question his sincerity but he did- n't know half of it. He didn't read the gospels hard enough. The good should, be the happiest of people and I believe they are. If a Christian is not a happy man, then there is some- thing wrong with hint; he's not quite a good enough Christian, perhaps. Every child is entitled to a happy A childhoo . happy,- home, dn , a happy memory of the days spent in that home and a never -fading pleasure in a return "to it are• great safeguards to a boy and girl when they go out eo battle with the big wired. The boy and, girl from the . happy home, the home where there is understand- ing, forbearance and love, is not nearly so likely to go astray when they leave its restraints as the ones who find that leaving home is some- thing in the shape of an escape from an unhappy environment. I do not mean by •making children happy that they should bs given everpthing they want and pampered within an inch of their lives. :That is the sure way of making thein un- happy. Did you ever see a child which was so pampered and allow- ed.to do as it pleased, really happy? I never did. They are usually die contented and bad-tempered. It is the well-trained child, the one who is required to observe certain rules and habits of life and whose pleas- ures are regulated tb suit the age and capabilities of the child who is the happiest. The child who is in the habit of going to bed at a car- tain hour each night goes happily, it is a rule of its life and it feels no hardships. But the child who goes at any hour it feels like going or any hour its mother can coax or bribe or compel it to go, goes to its nightly rest in an unhappy state of mind very often. So with arising in the manning and with many other rou- tine habits. It is the child who lives by rule, kind, wise, understanding rule; who is the happiest. One of the best aids to a happy home is a cheerful, happy mother, a mother who has a sense of humour New pattern English ware ER OATS COOKS IN 21/2 MINUTES AFTER THE WATER BOILS 1307 O e cone s:aon acmes -no Bili - 111 j,•,,R„nitkvlll14 HE SET THAT SETS THE PACE 1tarriVes toeda this new design improved in style lowered in price making, if the biggest radiovalue of the year Rtl .0o' msorr,ired% • te a `9.06 advance rnodel8 now �a �l�°�° Beale delivered leverywher e a�e°erhea in Canada °fir?

COMFORTS • :Most ' undesirable things s have g at lease one or two points in their fav- our, The comfort, or pacifier, has not one redeeming feature which .may be put forward to balance the many bad and undesirable qualities which it possesses. To begin with, et does not even do what its name pretends. It does not comfort or pacifythe baby. Cry- ing is stopped for a time, because the baby always stops crying When he gets what he wants, and he does want his comfort if he has been use to having one. !Some parents may think that be- cause the baby crys$,or the Comfort, it should be given to hint, as he ap- parently knows what . he wants. But do they give him everything he cries and reaches for, or do they discrimi- nate in what they give him because they know more •than the baby does about what is good for him The constant sucking of the com- fort makes the child irritable and tends to upset him. It quiets him for a few minutes, because he gala what he wants, but after that it only ir- ritates him, A serious result of the use of the comfort is the deformity of the mouth that results if the habit is continued. The bones of the baby's body are comparatively soft and ra- ther easily moulded. The continued sucking of the comfort force the bones around the mouth into an ab- normal shape. Projecting teeth are among the mouth deformities that follow. The most serious condition that result from the use of the :comfort are due to the introduction of dis- ease germs into the mouth of the child. It is impossible to keep a con- fort clean. To do so would' mean that it should be boiled every time it is used, just as the ,feeding bottles and nipples are boiled 'after they are use- ed. The comfort is Moist, and as it hangs from the child's neck, it comes into contact with, many articles; the result is that is is soiled by the many things which it touches. The use of the comfort is simply a bad habit which may do the child permanent harm by deforming the Mouth, and one which is, no doubt, a real factor in the spread of disease, There is no reason why a baby should be constantly sucking at something.. The comfort does not help to keep the baby healthy. If the child is irritable, ithere is some- thing wrong which should be pro- -perly dealt with, and most certainly the proper way to relieve him is not by sticking something into his mouth. Not so many years ago, every baby was rocked in a cradle and putinto long clothes that prevented him from kicking out his legs and having the exercise he needed. The rocking cradle and the long clothes have pas- sed into disuse, and the sooner the comfort goes the same way, the bet- ter it will be for the (baby. Questions concerning health, ad- dressed -to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personalty by letter. Great Britain and the has ween an actual decrease in the total nuinber of 'industrially empl°y- �+ ed between September 1929 and Sep - United States teinber 1930, of 1,675,000 people. This represents the decline in the in dustrially employed 'only. With this sharp deif theb Comparisons and Prospects The Americans are amazing pro- pagandists. To read the average American paper one would imagine that Great Britain was on its last Iegs—the United States only resting awhile before plunging forward. Ev- en Canadian papers accept the Am- erican viewpoint. That is only nat- ural. American publications are close to us. We see them every day. We get their viewpoint, We are to some extent, overawed by the force of numbers. The exports of 'Great Britain dur- ing the first seven months of 1929, amounted to 2424,261,977. During the coresponding period of 1930, ex- ports totalled n355,597,726. There was therefore in this period a decline of exports of 868,664,252. To snake it slip easier on the tongue on this side of the water, let us state it in dollars and say that in the seven months ending July last, exports from Great Britain were $344,000,000 less than they were in the corespond- ing period of 1029. Put.on a percen- tage basis, this represents a decline of 16,2 percent. Turning now to our American friends we find that during the first seven months of 1929, their domestic exports totalled $2,972,31,3 000, and during the corresponding period of 1930, the total was $2,301,842,000,' a decline of $670,471,000. Putting this on a percentage basis we find that exports from the United States de- cline(' 22.6 percent, Evidently the Americans went down a mucus shay - per hill than the Britisle Apparent ly the Americans went backward 40 perctisk.ent mere rapidly than the tri - .The United States is a large ex- porter of raw materials. Approx- imately 1-4 of American exports are raw cotton—,the' rawest of raw pro- ducts. Perhaps that may account for the crash in her export values. When we come to the export' of manufac- tured products alone, how do the two Nations compare during this time of stress And storm:. Trade has been bad. Both countries record declines in tie volume of. exports of manufac- tured .goods. The world's purchasing power has fallen off. Great Bri- tain's exports of manufactured pro- ducts fell from 23$7.260,901' in the 'first seven months or. 1929 to 2279,- 280,082 in the rorresnonding nerind of 1940. This is a decline of 257- ,980,819 or nutting it upon the nese ventage Basis it represents a, decline in, exports this period of 17.2 per cent. •During the same period, American exports of msuufactured node de - reined from. 82,290,964.000 to 51,800, 572.000, a dren of 8490,392,000. or a. derline in this period of 21,4 per cent.

A Painful Downfall it Is estimated by leading. author- ities in the United States that there employ- ed decline o nu er oy ed in industry, there has been be- yond question, a very great decline in the number employed in what is commonly called, "the white-collar °classes," clerks, stenographers, etc. The decline in monthly wages has been front $979,000,000 in Septem- ber last 'year to $719,000,000 in the corresponding month this year, a de- cline of $260,000,000 in the monthly payroll of industry. Multiply tisat item by 12 and you have $8,120,000,- 000 as the decrease in industrial wages paid in a year and a corres- ponding decrease of American pur- chasing power, American exports in 12 months will not greatly exceed this suin. The decline of Ainerican purehasin; power this year as com- pared with last, will be comparable to a disaster which would wipe out entirely, America's export markets. The New Era The fact is that the United States is approaching a new economic era in which stern facts must be' taken into consideration. For years the United States has been the world's main source of cotton supply. The situation has changed. The produc- tion of cotton outside the United States has increased to such an ex- tent that both absolutely and rola: tively the outside production shows marked gains over the product of the United States. During the six months ending July 31st, last, less than one half of the world's con- sumption was supplied by the United States. • Competition with rayon, with the cotton of India, Egypt and other countries is a factor whicehhas altered the cotton situation and nsade the United States no longer the main source of the world's cotton supply. Cotton prices have dropped to a point where only, under spee- ially favourable circusnstamces is production of American cotton pro- fitable, Wheat is another export produet in which the United States has ceas- ed to expand, The United States would ere this, have ceased to be a factor as a wheat exporter had it not been for the stimulus provided by the war, High prices for wheat follow- ed the period of post-war inflation and further encouraged wheat pro- duction. We are now approaching the time when there must come a falling off in American wheat pro- duction and a corresponding decline in American exports. High land val- ues, high costs of production are driving the American farmer from Young Airman ' In'Grave Difficulty Little Ted is going to be an airman tomo day?.

Thepast year has witnessed a further movement in this direction. Copper is another illustration of the same process. Formerly, our re- fined ned" copper was imported largely from the United States. Now Can- ada• is entering the ranks as a large. producer and is not only controlling the home market for refined copper, but is becoming a factor in the cop- per markets of the. world. On the Other handl Against this may be placed some factors which seem to improve the position\ of Great Britain. Great .Britain is an importer of raw material's --'an exporter of fin- ished prpduets.•During the past year raw materials, including 'foods, have declined ',much more' than' manufac- tured goods. The blow has fallen heavily on countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil and ;,the Argentine, which are large pro- ducers and exporters of raw mater- ials. The price .decline means a tremendous raving to Great Britain. In the nine ',months ending Septem- ber 39, Great'.iBritain's bill for these products' will be X99,129,471 'less than in the sameperiod last year—a tre- mendous saving. In any calculation of the British position, cognizance must be taken of the fact that Great. Britain is still the world's greatest foreign investor and -that her for- eign "investments total •$20,000,000,- 000 against American foreign bn- vestments of $13,000,000,000. The income from these investments is a tremendous factor in the develop- ment of Great Birtain. Approxim- ately one-half of the returns from these investments is re -invested each year, thus increasing steadily Bri- tish interest in foreign developments and foreign trade. During the past year, the actual net credit balance of the United Kingdom, available for infestment abroad, was greater than that of any other country and exceeded that of the United States by 50 percent. This is accomplished too on a wage scale very definitely higher than the wage scale of any country in Europe, So basically favorable is the British position that it would not be surpris- ing to see the • beginning of world improvement manifest itself first in Great Britain. There has been a tremendous stirring in the Old Land within the last few years. Plants have been modernized—anethods have been improved. Nations are not wiped out in a speech nor re -born with an epigram. Progress is a pro- duct of thought and work and if one may judge by recent events, British statesmen still retain the capacity to think and British labour has not lot its ability to work.
