'Conant was admirable from every point of view, . It is probable, as was frequently remark- ed on Saturday, that the Dominion could have been searched over and not have found such able men as the two named for the executive posts of the organization ecom- mittee, Mr. Conant's selection by the meeting fol- fowed his address on the part that a. Cham- ber of Commerce could play in this com- munity, That address was featured by a declaration, which might serve as the slogan of the organization not only while under for- mation but afterwards, namely: "Oshawa Welcomes Industry," The record shows that Oshawa's past wel- gome to industry has been no empty gesture. Not one of its huge industrial institutions of today but started in this community in 8 small way, 'The large industries of Osh- awa's present were the small, the struggling Industries of its yesterdays, Under the auspices announced, headed by the men whose serviges to this city are al- ready incalcuable, the definite launching of the Chambe# of Commerce movement Fri- ' day night was attended by every successful 1 of money Therefore, sinee it is a certainty that the man, who lacks a dominating per- sonality, will be remade after the image of strong men within whose orbit he moves, ; 't he exercise what little dis- he has in the matter and attach him- to men who now are what he would like be? . It may seem a craven business, but since e man is too twisted and warped to fit any pattern, there's nothing particularly ignoble about selecting the pattern after which he would like to be revamped. THE VASTNESS OF LIFE One of the incidents of the conquest of nature by science is the shuddering sense of immensity that it gives to those who com- prehend the distances computed by the as- tronomer, the archaeologist, the geologist-- the remoteness of the stars, the age of this solar system,, the life of man upon the earth, The effect naturally would be to quench the Promethean spirit, for this conscious- ness of the vastness of the universe and the eternity of time tends to make him contemp- tible by dwelling on his insignificance in an ever-expanding universe, If man lived in daily consciousness of the astronomical fact that the universe of lights does not revolve around the earth, which to man's vision seems so great but is pitiably insignificant; if he lived also in the cons- clousness of the fact that human be- ings, as the sands of the sea in number, have "laid themselves down in its dust never dream- ing of the countless ages to come; if the race as a whole possessed this Copernician cons- clousness, would it lose its confidence in it- 'elf and faith in an all-seeing Providence? The answer is that the mind of man, vhich has comprehended this vast universe, weighed the earth, computed eclipses to a second, and learned how to converse across continents and oceans, will make the adjust- ments as a pioneer in a new land, Within him is the instinct for perfection that no outside cosmic force can subdue or perman- intly halt or even intimidate, After all, minds incapable of comprehend- ing astronomical distances and which might be thrown off their equilibrium by long speculation on matters so vast are not in the habit of worrying themselves about them, EDITORIAL NOTES The greater part of the task of gettin ready for the next war falls on the stork, There's nothing wrong with a swelled head providing there's something to swell, Mod- esty is a virtue for the very young, the very 'ld and the hypocrites, That tired feeling in the morning is Po iceman Nature's red warning signal that your particular "game" is degenerating in- to a life sentence at hard labor, Business gamblers can be told by the wa; they like their eggs. A plunger wants his sft; a crook demands a hard-boiled certain- ty; the theorist has his scrambled, Some of the highbrows object to a man's singing in his morning bathiub--if he is that kind of man--but no man ever sang in 8 bathtub after painting the town red, What sbout children customers?

However, it is not the music to which she objects; it is the words that go along with the music, On aesthetic grounds there is little to say for these words. Grammarians would "read 'em and weep." But beyond a sickly semtimentality or a certain exuberance of affection for various "babies" they probably do very little harm. One cannot imagine a singing burglar or a singing safe cracker, It is the men who have no music in their souls who carry guns and use them. The only effect jazz could have on a man would be to ins still a desire in others to do him per- sonal damage, if he indulged in its expression and this desire is gener ally kept under restraint. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT (London Sunday Chronicle) James Cox Brady, whose father was a bar tender in America, and who has just died worth $20,000,000, married a woman described as the loveliest in the world, Shorfly before her wedding Miss Helen McMahon (as she then was) told me something of the story »f her own life and that of her fiance; Both have been brimful of romance. Some time before Mrs. Brady's marriage a New York newspaper had inaugurated a search for the world's loveliest woman. Miss Mc? ahon told me that at the time of the contest she was a hard- working dress model in New York, and yielded with reluctance to the entreaties of her fellow-workers to become an aspirant to the title, which she was ultimately awarded, Afterwards there entered the pie- ture James Cox Brady, whose mere whisper in Wall Street made the pil- lars of finance tremble. It was in 1920, Lady Victoria Pery, the only daughter of Lord and Lady Limerick; his beautiful second wife, had just died of pneumonia. Trying to find refuge from his sorrows in America, he was captivated by the charm no less than the dazzling beauty of Miss McMahon, It was love at first sight and they were married, CALLOUS CRUELTY BY SHIPPERS (From the Toronto Saturday Night) The Toronto Humane Society is anxious to enlist the co-operation of the farm organizations of both sexes, as well as of humanely disposed peo- ple everywhere in securing reforms of the shocking conditions under which animals are shipped to To- ronto from rural points. Not a month passes but the officers of the society, and the local police (who show ads mirable zeal in this respect) encoun- ter cases of the most callous and in- excusahle cruelty on the part of ship. pers. Recently a Toronto constable discovered a couple of freight cars containing forty-six aged horses des- tined for a glue factory in which conditions were loathsome beyond description, Into one ear, loaded at the village of Jarvis, Ont, twenty- four animals had been crowded. Six had foundered because they were too weak to stand, and had been trampel on by other heasts that were able to-keep on their feet. All these horses had rendered faithful » and were sold because they {were too old for work, Their owners not wish to feed them through I were willing to take rather than put y at home. One mm shipping old horses Society officials that in the country he could get many old horses for the zsking, but that most of them ar too old to stand the journey to the railway station, It is not « old and worthless animals which suffer by careless methods in shippi On a Toronto railway siding we other day 108 sheep were found crowded into 2a single car, and in another not so crowded 17 'nails were found obtruding, on which animals in the movement of the train had gored themselves. In our cities the humane movement has created a very widely established sentiment with regard to animals, but there is certainly need for cducation in this matter in the rural districts, TIMMINS STORE ROBBED Timmins, Ont., Dae, 18.--Enter- ing her store Saturday end asking for a packet of cigarettes a man pointed a revelver at Mrs. B.

Jackson, of London, 18.-- Jeff on his way home from Sarnia last night ne- glected to take the turn om the London highway at Perch Creek three reiles from the city and drove bis car through the stout cables and into the creek, a drop of about 15 feet. Jackson found himself in deep water and broke the car win- dow and crawled to safety, going to the store of W. J. Buncan cloge by where Dr. Bell attended to his injuries. He was rushed te the hos- pital, but today was able to go out and proceed bome after a wrecker had taken his car from the creek. FREE STATE MINISTER COMING WITH COSGRAVE ON IS.

AND TONSILS Perhaps you Lave an attack of rheumatism, or arthritis as it is called, and your doctor Las dis- covered that you have bad tonsils, infected teeth. or infection of the sinuses adjoining the nose. However, even afte: these infee- ted conditions have been correct. ed, you still hava trouble with the juirts and musoics, and you hegin to wonder if the removal of teeth. tonsils, or draining of the sinuses have been in vu. Az pointed out before, certain glands of the h1ri7 absorb some of the poison, and pass it out gradual- ly into the ciraulation, and it I possible that thare is still too muen of this polson pasied out into the circulation at one time However, Sir Wm. Willcox tells us that in a great many cases the poison travels to the large intest- ine, and infects the last portion thereof. In fact a study of wore than 1,000 patients showed that an infection of the intestine followed an Infection of teeth, tonsils, and sinuses, in over 90 per cent ef the cases, This, then, explains why symp- toms persist even after the removal of the infections about teeth, nose, and throat, And not only does rheumatism or arthritis persist owing to this je- ---- increase the severity of any othe allment that was present. Skin ailments, particulany, may in severity by means. What should be dome? The treatment is obvious, Every thing and anything should be done to tone up the Intestine and stimu- late natural movement, Foods that will help to stimulate intestinal movement, such as fruits and cereals, light massage of ab- omen, abdominal or bending exer- cises, and washing out of intestine by eam of injections are all use- Therfore it would be always good sense to make sure of a real systematic cleansing of intestine for twa or three weeks after re moval of teeth, tonsils, or drainin; of sinuses, PORCLPINE QUILLS ARE NOT "THROWN" Washington, Dec. 18.--The De- partment of Agriculture exploded another "myth" today by announc- ing that no genuine porcupine "throws his quills". When ap- proached the porcupine tries to escape, but if he finds that impos- sible he stops and strikes fierce blows with his heavily armed and muscular tail, using upward, downward or side strokes, but the quills are not shot at the enemy, although he loses some in a hard ght, Soe FoRienas@ wiiond Otton Beton Buta od _ Private Wire System .
