,GUARD THE BABY
AGAINST COLDS
To guard the baby against colds
nothing can equal Baby's Own Tab-
lets. The Tablets are a mild laxative
that will keep -the little one's stomach
and bowels working regularly. It is
a recognized fact that where the stoma-
-a& and bowels are in good order that
colds will not exist; that_the health
of the little one will be good and that
he will thrive and be happy. The
tablets are sold by medicine dealers
or by mail at 25 cents a box from
`The . Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont.
SHORT SERIaliONS
Many people are like highly color-
ed apples, very pretty to look at but
got a bad heart.
Disappointment, melancholy, nerv-
ous pr tration, poverty, insanity and
suicide to be found in the dregs
of the cup of uncontrolled sensuous
pleasures.
You can't buy your health at the
drug store; your beauty of face and
form at the beauty parlor; your ed-
ucation in the junk shop of the com-
mon gossiper; your character over
the pawnbroker's counter. There are
not commercial commodities. They
are die—product of your own con-
structive thoughts working in harm-
ony with the laws of human life;
buiti on high ideals, sweetened and
cemented together with the honey of
human kindness, and beautified by
the effulgence of the rays of eternal
righteousness.
When do men exhibit the man?
When seeking the hand of a woman
to be his wife, or after marriage in
playing the game of life.
The secret of success is right know-
ledge; intense application, secretive-
ness and stick.
If your only motive in life is to get
rich, you will be a fool in the begin-
ning, a sap -sucker through life and a
colossal failure in the wind up. For
you will take nothing more out of this
world than you brought in, except the
character you have built day by day
for yourself.
To keep ourselves out of disgrace
we must help the down-and-out up
into Grace.
The greatest gift of the Creator to
man is a good woman, but when will
He find a man worthy of the gift?
It is not the clothes you wear that
makes the man, but the man within
who dignifies the clothes.
The Prophet of old says, A man
who does not pay his tithe is foolish
as the man who puts his weekly wage
into a bag with holes in the bottom,
Money covers sin like light Build-
ing on brass; it looks well on the
surface, but it won't bear the acid
test.
Some people wouldn't give ten dol-
lars for the salvation of the sinner
and right education of the masses,
but will five hundred dollars to
build a momument over their dead
carcase, to remind the passer-by of
their mean, stingy lives.
It is not being great, wealthy or
wise that fits men and women to
pass out of this world onto the next,
but unselfish actions: helping the
helpless, ministering to the orphans
and widows in their distress; faith
in the atoning blood of Christ; prac-
i tieing what tHey preach in harmony
with the Ten Commandments; stat-
utes and judgment. They may be
too poor to pay taxes here, but
they'll get a free passport and a
crown over there. -
How do you read? What do you
read? If you read without atten-
tion and concentration, or will to for-
get, you are wasting time, energy,
money and health. You will become
a mental pauper, untrustwerth, in-
efficient, and a curse to yourself and
a nuisance to your neighbor.

ASTORS DEVOTED TO SFRVlCE
OF ENGLAND
Writing of the present generation
of Astors, Joseph W, Grigg, London
correspondent of the New York World
and the Mail and Empire, says that
Lord Astor and Major Astor are
trying to turn the blue blood they in-
herited from their father to red in
their ambition to serve the British
public. As one of the owners of the
Times, Major Astor will undoubtedly
exert unusual influence, while his
'brother is member of the House of
Lords and the husband of the redoubt-
able Nancy. Lord Astor is also a
large shareholder in the Sunday Ob-
-Server, which is probably responsible
for the particular attention that
paper gives local option and all other
proposals for temperance reform. The
'late Viscount Astor was a dabbler in
•
.ri
i•
journalism. For years he published
a sumptudta and 'extremely uninter-
esting magazine and the evening
newspaper, The Pall Mall Gazette.
His ownership of the latter was re-
sponsible for the insertion of one of
the most • curious., items a London
newspaper had publlsbed• for a
generation. It briefly announced
that, on the previous evening Sir
Barclay Milne had been an uninvited
guest at the Astor home in Carlton
:House Terrace.
In those days Waldorf Astor used
to give several musical evenings each.

who was then Prince of Wales, The
Prince is said to have sided with Sir
Barclay, and this was given as one of
the masa* why a title was so long

er occasiop, when one of his grand
parties was in full swing at Clivedon,
he eptered the ballroom at midnight
and, bolding up his hand, stopped the
dance.; Then he annot}peed 'that he
had ordered the carriages for one
o'Cock sharp. He was what Alfred
Henry Lewis would call an ornery
host.
The late Viscount was certainly not
popular, especially in his early ef-
forts to establish himself as a mem-
60r of the British aristocracy. When
he bought Hever Castle, one of the
most beautiful properties in England,
he invested about $10,000,000Lto re-
store it as a Tudor village. He even

upon her an annuity of $30,000.

Nairne, youngest daughter of the
Earl of Minto. Her first husband
was Lord Charles Merger Nairne, a
son of the' Marquis of Lansdowne,
who was killed in action in the war.
Major Astor also distinguished him-
self in the struggle. He was an
officer in the Life Guard, and lost
a leg in the fighting. From 1912
to 1914 he was aide-de-camp to the
Viceroy of India. At 'a by-election

MEN and women of Ontario it is time that we should all realize the terrible com-
pleteness of the fire calamity that devastated Northern Ontario in the early days of October. Fires and
calamities we have had before, but never such complete destruction as this. .
Over 1,200 square miles laid desolate, town after town nothing but a bleak expanse of ruins, hundreds of farms
swept bare, thousands of your fellow citizens "cleaned out" and thrown abruptly back into man's primeval struggle
against nature and her grim forces: fire, hunger, ice and the stark northern cold.
Give 1,800 families a fighting chance to get on their feet.
Temporary relief, must go on. We must not, fail the North.
Winter—the relentless foe
Coming as this terrible fire did, in the autumn,
with the harvests in, with the townspeople
already preparing for the rigors of winter—the
complete destruction wrought is the harder to
overcome.
Thousands .of people at first had literally no
place to lay their head, little to wear and nothing
to eat. They had to be taken care of at first,
somehow, and then, desperately as the days went
by, and the cold grew more intense, rough but
serviceable standard shacks. 16' x 20'.
have been replacing tents, old street
cars, packing boxes and sheet iron—a
regular food supply has been es-
tablished, and rough clothing is being
distributed.
What can a man do with
his house a blackened hole
in the ground, his barn a
charred heap, his work
shop a twisted pile of
rubbish—and a northern
blizzard raging over all?
Temporary Relief Until Spring
In the name of humanity we must see these
fellow citizens through until Spring opens up the
land and general business activities are resumed.
Money must be forthcoming from the citizens
of Ontario, from municipalities, industries, soci-
eties, public bodies, lodges. churches, etc. --not
for rehabilitation or re-establishment, but for the
supply of bare necessities, "temporary relief'
in fact, to the stricken North.
The Brighter Side of the Picture
Everywhere throughout the fire swept district
one hears only a strong, manly note of confidence.
of resolution to go forward, to "stick to the
country" if body and soul can be held together,
to make good once more, to restore the hundreds
of burned farms, to rebuild the eight or ten
destroyed towns --And it will be done if the
stream of temporary relief from Old Ontario
does not dry upl
All for One—One for All
Here is a portion of our Province in ruins
and for the sake of the whole Province as wen
as for its own sake, this section must be restored
to prosperity and happiness. We need the North,
we need its vigorous, pioneering spirit so one
and all, let's "give a hand into the saddle"—
and do it NOW.
Money is needed. The Relief Com-
mittee can buy in large quantities,
w get big discounts, and often free
gifts of merchandise from the many
manufacturers who are generously
co-operating with the Committee.
The exact needs are now known.
The Northern Ontario Fire Relief
Committee
has been enlarged and now is thoroughly represen-
tative of the Province of Ontario. The Provin-
cial Government is co-operating to the fullest
extent and is doing everything that a Govern-
ment can properly do to assist in temporarily
relieving the fire sufferers.
Td give immediate relief the Committee must secure actual cash without delay. If each municipality or
county would devise some means of raising an amount equal to one half mill on the total assessment the relief can
be continued. The raising of relief funds could be undertaken by public spirited citizens, clubs, churches or
councils and provides a most deserving cause for Christmas giving. Now it is up to every community in Ontario
to help a neighbouring district in its hour of trial. Make cheques payable to—
