For. it would be a crime to send Canada's sons to war without preparation or training and a very culpable line of activn to bring them up with the erroncous pelief that the mil- lenniums with everlasting peace bad arrived "Phe law of Canada requires all men from 18 to 45 years to serve in defence of Canada in case of peed," Ma,or-Geperal MacBrien declared.

Commenting on this, as we are also asked to do, a correspondent of the Boston Copgregationalist, writing evident!y from the minis-; ter's point of view, thus broaches a reservoir of feeling on the sub- 'ject that has been filling up with- out vent; "He seems so naively obliyious to the sinste" ethics of such a situation that it see.ns hard to belleve. If they were able to pay this man more, and felt that he was worth it to their church and community, why, in the name of all that's holy, didn't they do 17" The probability is thar they did not know what a valuable pastor they had till they were forced to consider the matter by losing him. He does pot seem to haye told them how much he was in d mand else- where. There may have been oth- ously, these bear very remote pro portion to the spiritual balance sheet--an imponderable, invisible yalue--indeed, tng omiy value the church exists for. So it Is that in the money rewards for service in this world the cash smount 'is often in reverse proportion to the spiritual or human value. It is not the man who does great writing for a magazine, but the man who turns in advertising busi- pess who drives his Rolls-Royce car. So it is jn al] dircetions. The money yardstick is the worst pos- sible measure of the man Many a great scientist nas been altogether too occupied with his high pursuit to make money. As for min'sters, there is a subconeci- ous" sentiment In the pub'ic mind that it is a crime for them to be well off. St. Paul's frequent boast' These hands have ministered to my necessities," and the Saviour's declaration that "the Son of Man bath not where to lay his head." er elements in his deeisi ack of sympathy or of expressed aflee- tion that made him diff'deut gs to b's usefulness among them. With all the intimate ties of af- fection which must exist helween a pastor and his people, especially after a long pastorate, "here may have been suffic'ent absence of ap- preciation, or at least of demons'ra- tion of it, to counterbalance all this in bis sentiment, when offered obvious appreciation elsewhere. Indeed. especia'ly in a denomin- ton without bishops or stationing committee, yet not lim"ted to such, the m"n'ster has the painfu! suspi- cion that the people have no other way or no such ready way, of dis- missing b'm as by indifference to his efforts or to bis needs Some ministers, being apponted fi above. may be more or less call to such indications. But sensitive souls will be always suspecting them. There are some preachers who are naturally peripatetic.

In the postulated case it is plain that the congregation should nuve been informed as to how they were undervaluing their minister as measured by his value in the labor market and, that, if they could and wanted him, they shou.d ave glad- ly implemented that valu as be- ing his persopal due. Indeed, u tc a given generous standard they ought to have antic'pate¢ his wish- es. As in other occupations any standardization of ministers' sti pends by minimums will fail to ap- portion them tru'y, and w'll attract some who do not earn them.

HOST BEAUTIFUL SMILE IN WORLD 1S DISCOVERED A Searcher After Perfect Teeth Finds Them in Peru and 8. Africa i -- TOOTH PASTE ABSENT -- Also Oral Surgery in Case of Dusky Natives With Gleaming Grin The real natives of South Africa and the Inca Indians of Pern own the whitest, straightest and most beautiful teeth in the world, in the opinion of Dr. Louise C. Ball, New York woman dentist, who has been emulating Marco Polo in her en- deavors to find the most perfect teeth In existence and to discover at the same time what makes them perfect. Dr. Ball has just completed 10, 000 miles of travel through nooks and corrers of "Darkest Africa," visit'ng at the same time coruers of South Africa that were not so dark--such as Cape Town and Jo- hanneshurg. But while Dr, Rall found the chi'dren of the dusky natives of South Afriea "9ashing heautiful, straight teeth, she 'ound, on the other hand. she sald more sets of fa'se teeth be'ng worn: by voung people. descendants o' Eng lish, Dutch and other nationalit'es now settled in Africa, than among voung people of the same age in America and Europe, This had dental state of affairs f1 dne to wrong fond. sa'd Dr Rall Whereas the ancestors of these ch"dren used to eat green vege- tahles, "hard-tn-eat" fonds, and Ar'nk plents of raw milk, the whit- ch'ldren South Afrien eat tan mane at a plac and anft Ff nla The nat've children, however, who "va an parched sarn and athe ar'sn hard foods have norfer len na, white teeth, Searching for Perfect Molars Prior to her South Afriean trir Dr. Ba"l journeyed to § «ith Amer 'ea In search of perfec. m~'a s Amnng the Inea Indi"n: of "en "he found the nhioet nf hor serprh Tt is pore thet an nrg fad'ar ever v's'ty a dentist, 87 Marq a tnt acke r finds It nee scary ta have a tont! » tracted she «ald Ani that den- 12¥ papfoattan tan gh to their d'~t of hard, raw foods.

Great Work Among Children Dr. Ball was one of New York rity's p'oneer women in dental pre- ventative work. Prior to 1915 she was "teaching teachers' in the mod- e' school at Hunter College. There the dental condition of the children attending the school appeared "ap- pall!ng."" At a later date when she was doing social settlement work, the number of young people wearing go'd crowns and the eon- ditions of tartar on the teeth made her decide to take up dentistry, Dr. Ball, who gained her B.A. de- gree at the age of 18 and won her doctor of dental surgery degree later, broke the ice for several oth- er women by her appointment es the first dental woman to the staff of Bellevue Hospital. Ar tae Ne- ponsit Beach Hospital for Children Dr. Ball inaugurated the happy idea of conducting her dental clinics on the breakwater at Rockaway Beach. "You know how a gleaming, white p'ace with all sorts of terrify- ing dental apparatus affects ehil- dren," said Dr. Ball, "Well at that elinic I took every child down to the breakwater, where he could look at the waves and the passing boats, and with their heads in my lap and my apparatus in a kit at my feet I went through every ch'ld's mouth with far better resulis than if I had held the work in a model dentist's office. "The work of prevention of den- ta! diseases, especially among chil- dren, seemed such an untried field that I went into it in earnest. In 1916 began a course in Hunter Col- lege in teaching young women how te clean teeth. For if teeth are ab- solutely free of tartar, and are cleaned thoroughly, half the battle of dental trouble is solved." The proper diet for growing chil- dren to insure good teeth and gen- eral good health, accord'nz to Dr Ba'l--and that applies to the ehil- dren of America, South Africa and all <lands--should includes whole meal bread. green vege'ubles, both cooked and raw, with the exeeption of white and sweet potatoes, pota- toes boiled or roasted and eaten skins and all; fruit, preferably fresh, and plenty of orange juice, which she says is inva'vable for bone and tooth building.

But in reality the women are shedding tears of rage because tho men have bungled the situation and trampled all over their romantic flower beds w'th their great, clumsy prosaic feet. Nine women out of ten are se outraged at the way they are oroposed to that they would say "No" if they dared. Of course, in the o'd days, when a suitor asked a father for his daughter's heart and hand in mar- riage, there was an elegant cut- and-dried formula for popp'ng the question that was used in all our best famil'es. But nowadays, when men and women work together and play together and pap is the 'ast to hear of an engagement, every man bas to be his own love-maker and frame up his own proposal Now, as I said in the beginning, there is no school of correspondenc: that can teach a man aow to pro- not pose. The most that any one can do for his is to hang out a few red danger signals, and one of the first of these warnings is azainst popping the question im the wrong place. Don't for instance. pop the ques- tion to a girl in a restaurant over roast beef, medium rare, and mash- ed patatoes. wkpandhAtdkagCxemfwvmtwynfwy You may think that you have made a great approach and that when you say: "Mary. how would you like always to sit across a ta- ble from me in our own :ittle din- ing room?" she will juuwp at the chance.
