Bons people expect to acquire all their good habits in their second childhood. And one of the good habits long put off is thrift, Often this habit does come in second childhood, With appetites and passions burned out of the decaying mind and body, old men may find themselves freed from temptations and wrongly consider their con- dition due to ripened virtue. But thrift, like any other "virtue" forced upon one by nature, is apt to find its environ- ment unhealthy and to curdle into penurious meanness. If thrift is to be wholesome and sweet and fruitful it must be embraced while the mind and body are healthy and vigorous. Thrift is a composite quality. It embraces within itself nearly all of the great virtues, It implies industry, prudence, forethought, self-denial, It certainly has no relation to niggardliness or meanness. Some men would let their grandmothers ' starve to death for the sake of a few dol- ' Jars, That cannot be called thrifty. And virtue carried to excess becomes a vice and is no longer virtue, Thrift that does not take into partnership honesty and . charity sours into covetousness and avarice. True thrift is the opposite of thriftless- ness, prodigality, improvidence and waste, Thrift means better homes and better food, more 'comfort and enjoyment, less waste and less anxiety, Qut of it grow quickened energies, firmer courage, more stalwart thought and hope, more orderly citizenship, education and a good chance in life for the children, and the independence 'and self-respect that lift aim- less, hopeless drudges up to true manhood. STYLES IN MONEY Minting of the small silver five-cent piece has been discontinued by the Canadian gov- ernment and the process of withdrawing it from circulation begun, A larger coin cast from nickle will take its place. The objection to the silver "nickel" was that the possessor never quite knew if he had it or if it had slipped through a hole in the pocket. Though pleasing to look at, it "was too diminutive to handle, so few will regret its passing. Except during the war the silver five-cent coin was really "token" money. There is not a nickel's worth of silver in one of them. Because of the high value of silver during the World war the coin was worth more than its face falue, If that condition existed to- day, it is feared few of the coins would be converted into the new coins of nickel. Since it cannot arbitrarily call them in, the government can only withdraw them from circulation as they come into the na- tional treasury from banks. Many thousands of them will soon be converted into currency of other denominations, but other thousands will never find their way back to the mint. There are many coin collectors and when there is any possibility of a coin in general circulation becoming rare in the distant fu- ture everybody becomes a collector. As in other things, styles in coins are sub- ject to change. Canada enlarges a coin con- sidered too small, and the United States re- duces the size of its paper money for the sake of convenience and economy, And in both countries metal coins in the larger de- nominations have virtually passed out of circulation although once considered handy enough. ' THE AGE OF ATHLETICS It has not been sufficiently observed that modern athleticism is a by-product of city life, of the industrial revolution. Man's prehistoric ancestors lived by the chase, in which physical prowess was so important as to be a matter of life and death. In histor- fc times mankind was almost exclusively occupied in war, agriculture and seafaring-- which gave abundant scope to heart and THE OftAwA DAILY TIMES. THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1928 lungs and muscles. If sporteminship was practiced, it was by the idle aristocracy-- fox-hunting, falconry, the tourney in armor. Even in Greece athletics were the pastime of an idle upper class subsisting by slave labor. Then one-half of mankind found itself cooped up for long hours in factory and of- fice, working a single set of muscles to ex- haustion or stupefying the mind over col- umns of figures and clerical labour done by rote. It is not without meaning that the popular love of outdoor sports began in England soon after the beginning of highly- organized and mechanized industry, and spread with it throughout the civilized world. Athletics are keeping young, strong and vigorous many in sedentary occupations, and yet there are patriarchs clinging to life in- to the eighties and nineties and even after the century mark who are an object-lesson to the pessimist who declares mechanized industry is destined to destroy the human race, They illustrate the exceeding adapt- ability of the genus homo. Their unused bodies shrivel in beneficient atrophy, becom- ing a sort of sterilized mummy automaton within which mind and spirit live on un- dimmed--provided they have the talent for mummification and practice that particular philosophy to which each attributes his longevity. WORLD REVGLVES ON CREDIT No man is poorer today than he without credit. Man may have many virtues but if he cannot be trusted in money matters he is in universal dishonor and disrepute. Thieves, murderers and harlots look down upon those who do not pay their just debts. Elbert Hubbard said: "If there is an un- pardonable sin, it is the habit of not paying one's debts." That the dishonest debtor is looked upon with so much scorn and derision today needs no explaining if it is not forgotten that credit is the basis of modern business, that the world of today is actually living on money to be earned thirty days hence. The word "cash" has come to be almost obsolete through universal disuse, Cash business on this continent today is limited almost entirely to silver transactions, Rich and poor alike are buying on thirty days' time or on the deferred payment plan the more costly essentials of life. Few homes and automobiles are paid for in cash, The great majority of the furniture business is on limited or extended credit. The phono- graph and radio owe much of their wide usage to their availability on partial pay- ments, Even that most necessary of neces- saries--clothing--is sold today on credit, For those economists, real or pseudo, who dearly love to argue, the question of credit is a popular one. There are not a few who fortnightly predict the utter collapse of the business which is based on credit. In these predictions they anticipate a time when all accounts must be settled and that when that day comes there will be many who will be unable to pay and others who will be too dishonest to pay. The bect answer to their fears for the judgment day is that settle- ment day in the credit world is every day and that these settlement days find 99 per cent of debtors able to pay and paying their just debts. Credit is based on faith, and the history of credit has strengthened it. EDITORIAL NOTES For that matter, many a true bill seems to be spoken in jest. It is estimated that it costs $5,000 to edu- cate a boy, not counting the lawyer's fees. Somebody plans to get rubber from milk- weeds, Some butchers get rubber from milk COWS. Bit of Verse HOME Who never helps to make a home Can hardly call it his: Unless he saves or dreams or plans, The carpenter's it is; And cottages heart-built are far More dear than unearned mansions are. Who never helps to make a home Can scarcely call it hers: Until she fondly serves therein, It is the furnisher's; But she who gives to it her best Creates a place of joy and rest. Who never help to make a home Can never call it theirs: Unless love fills it, it will be A thing of walls and chairs; But cherished homes as springs recur Grow somehow ever lovelier. SYMPTOMS MISTAKEN FOR HEART AILMENTS In these days when the number of cases of heart disease 1s in- creasing, it is gratifying to learn that some of the symptoms that folks attribute to heart trouble, have nothing to do with the hea.t at all. One of these is fainting. Fainting is exceedingly rare in heart ailments. Fainting is most frequently due to a temporary lack of blood in the brain. Simply putting the head between the knees, lying down, will equalize the circulation and consciousness returns. Another symptom that frightens folks is a pain over the heart. As a matter of fact the most frequent cause of pain there is due to gas pressure in the stomach. The stomach presses against the floor of the chest, and this fle against tk heart, but while this limits the motion of the heart to some ex- tent, the pain is not in the heart. Sometimes gas in the large intes- tine, just as it turns downward on the left side of the body under the heart, will give pressure in this region. : These gas pains occur at any time, whereas pain in the heart occurs during exercise. Then the rapid beating of the heart is thought to be an evidence of heart trouble, whereas in the majority of cases it is simply due to nervousness, Even murmurs are not consider- ed serious in themselves anymore. There are murmurs that actually disappear with exercise, which is the best evidence that they are not due to any organic trouble of the heart. Instead of pain, the outstanding symptom to he watched where you are suspecting trouble with your heart is breathlessness. Do you find that things you did quite easily a few months or a year ago, now seem to get you "out of breath?' I mean ordinary everyday work such as walking a certain distance, This breathlessness may not he due to any weakness of the heart, but it is one symptom that you can't ignore, Don't get nervous about ft, doctor, It there is no trouble he will tell you so, and if there is he will prescribe such measures as will get the heart back into shape to do its work properly. or worried but go to your family LOGGING NEARLY OVER Sault Ste, Marie, Ont., March 6. --With winter pulpwood and logging operations fast drawing to a close, more than 5,000 lum- berjacks employed in the forest area east and north of the Sault shortly will begin their annual trek toward the cities and towns.

LUCKY CANADA (Buffalo Courier-Express) By some happy chance Canada ap- pears to have missed the rock of mo- ral and economic destruction toward which, according to prohibitionists on both sides of the border, she head- ed when the several provinces began to abandon prohibition for govern- mental control of liquor. At any rate, our neighbour to the north, though now wet from coast to coast, seems to have lost nothing of her high national morale. We con- tinue to point to her courts as a judi- ciary worth following. Besides, one reads in an Ottawa dispatch that the budget presented to the House of Commons for the next fiscal year car- ries tax reductions which include a 10 per cent cut in personal income tax and a lowering of the corpora- tion tax rate to 8 per cent. TRIMMING THE PUBLIC (From the Sault Ste. Marie Star) Surely the Ontario Government can do something to stop the antics of a certain crowd in Toronto in trimming the public in mining stocks as exposed by the Toronto Telegram. The development of New Ontario's mines has received many a cold douche from the methods which the Telegram condemns, and there is a widespread fear that the Toronto manipulators will jeopardize the fu- ture of the north, The fifty seats Standard Stock and Mining Ex- change are worth around $75,000 cach, Here is nearly $4,000,000 in- vested in the privilege of merely buy- ing and seling the stock in the On- tario mines. Does anybody. believe that the legitimate business of the mining brokers justifies such a v alua- tion? Lven the brokers themselves say' that there are® members could be looked after. The total value of all the ore raised in Ontario was $92,000,000, from which there were $14,000,000 in diyi- dends paid. The brokers are credited with cleaning up $11,000,000 in 1927, Can the industry stand such an im- post for a little bookkeeping? The commissions charged by the brokers are outrageous. But the big money is in the manipulation of the ghares by the financial geniuses who organize onslaughts on the market nd depress the stocks at will, The Id shell game seems respectable com- ared to the manipulations the thim- le riggers are allowed to get away tvith, The old Louisiana lottery was infinitely safer. Why should a hold up man risk his hide when he can go to Toronto and participate in the "profits" the mining exchange makes it safe for him to grab off? A year ago a mining engincer who does not believe that suckers can be protected by law told the Sault Star that the Toronto crowd were the best in the business. He said that the Montreal mining crowd were anxi- ous to gei in on the ground floor, but that they were only amateurs compared to the slick artists in To- ronto, When Noah Timmins said some months ago that the public were "crazy" about mining stock prices, he started something. The stuff which has developed in Toronto shows that Mr. Timmins had his eye on the ball. The public have been unmercifully trimmed since then, and apparently the 'end is not yet. CLIMBING INTO SOCIETY (From the London Daily Express) We read much of the stratagems of those in the inner circle of society which insure their remaining in that much desired position. But the ruses and intrigues descended to by those in the "outer circle" are as numer- ous as grains of sand on the sea- shore. I once heard a young woman trying to "wangle" an invitation to a ball at the house of an exclusive duchess. "You will try, won't you, dear?" said she. "I've quite set my heart on go- ing, and I've a dream of a gown al- ready ordered!" "Yes, yes, of course, I'll make a point of ringing her up about it, said the woman in whose hands lay the power. y the way, I wonder if you pic to my pet charity" She pamed a hospital, "They badly want a hundred or two, poor dears." The check arrived, in due course, and the coveted invitation was safely delivered. The great thing for those on the "outer circle" is to appear to be popu- lar and to attain this object they are prepared to go to almost any lengths. A tale is told of a young man of no social standing who, possessing a fair income, decided to "launch" him- self into society. When dining out he always arranged that his servant should call him up on the telephone during the middle of dinner, saying, "'Lord X' or 'Lady z wishes to speak to Mr. So-and-So." The young man would make his ex- cuses to his hostess, and hold an ima- ginary conversa ation over the tele- phone with Lord X.... whom he did not even know by sight. On re- turning to the table he would grum- ble about telephones in general, and about the various members of the peerage who always rang him up at inconvenient times! A middle-aged woman of my ac- quaintance has a perfect passion for giving "birthday teas." The day be- fore the tea she spends much money and hours of her time in flower shops, writing cards in a disguised hand, signing them with initials only, and addressing them to herself, to be delivered between the hours of 3.30 and 5 pm. The result was that those invited to the tea realized, as basket after basket of glorious flowers. .was car- ried in, what a popular woman their hostess was! on the Toronto who CANADIAN BIBLE SOCIETY TO HAVE NEW SECRETARY Ottawa, March 5.--Rev.

Thomas Purcell, Inspector of Quebec Provincial Police and Col- lector of Provincial Revenue for this city, has been entered and a number of valuable oil paintings stolen, it was disclosed today. No clue has yet been discovered which would reveal the identity of the marauders who show so little re- spect for the "arm of the law." The Police Inspector said the office had been entered on three separate occasions within the last two weeks, and each time a painting had been removed. Mr. Purcell would not set a value on the stolen art works. Friends Tell Friends ZUTOO Stops Headache ada.
