The more Britain ehanges, the more it remains the same. Two. years after the Armistice I was walking along the streets of Lon- don with a brother Canadian.

"They are indeed the sweetest - tempered people in the world," I re- plied, "a model to the grumblers and whiners everywhere."

Toronto, Ont—Medical science has found that eye trouble is the source of many disabilities.It may cause a child to become backward at school and if the eyesight is not protected blindness may result.

You've seen a big mastiff or New- foundland playing with children. You've never worried about the kid- dies because you knhw that they are safe with the dog. It is :sweet -temper- ed, dependable. It knows its strength, and because it isstrong, it is gentle with weak things. And it never "fusses," but just goes calmly and solidly on its way. The riton is like that. He is sake and solid and nonchrlant. He is in- different to all the minor worries and troubles of life, because be knows that everythingwill come out right in the end, because he is confident of his own power to make it come out right. He -is strong—a mastiff among the "lesser breeds"—and he has the sweet -temp- ered, equable disposition that so often goes with the giant's night.
