Old ideas die hard! ' One of the most persistent notions is that about the cold damp' night air" being injurious to health, iAs a result of this foolish notion thousands sleep in tightly shut bedrooms breathing over and over again witiated air, and as 4 result we have colds and other tls. - The question might well be asked, what are we to {resthé at night if not "night air"? But 'night air has been found to be purer than the air we breathe during daylight hours. At night the activities of khe world ave largely at a standstill, and there is less dirt in the atmosphere, Science has demonstrated that night air is purest, but the old notion persists | among many people. In fammer the matter is not so serious, but in winter time thousands and thousands almost hermeti- cally seal théir houses and emerge in the spring like the bears. Is it any wonder they suffer from: colds | #nd other ills? Pure fresh air is one of (od's greatest gifts. It is most essential to health, and much more attention ghioiild bé paid to if in school and church and theatre 4s well 4s in homes and offices. Let in the pure fresh propositions-- Humanity, with all its surroundings, to write, in an effort to léave his family provided for, , Ile wrote them not for terest, not to fix his own air=botk by dey and night. COURTESY IN BUSINESS The Kiwanis Club of Toronfo is to inaugurate a campaign in favor of greater courtesy in business, It is a timely move, and we wish it every success. For the most part Canadian business men are dourtéons, but there are some exceptions, If these discourteons individuals could "see themselves as ithérs see them," they would reform over night, We have often wondered why men should be all smiles when they are trying to sell and be all frowns when soméone tries to sell them a commodity, They seem to forget that everything is salesmanship, and itamatters little whether a man be selling needles or locomotives, real estate or insurance, legal advice or medieal lore. Further, the heads of great corpora- tions should remember that they, too, are selling service. A railroad would soon fail to pay its way if all the employees from president down to brake- mén were discourteous and officious.® A bank would soon elose its doors if its officials were arbitrary. Phere was a time when men of the Commodore Van- derbilt type eould say "The public be damned!" and get away with it. That day is gone forever. Railroads, banks and other forms of Big Business "OUR EXCHANGES "WHAT EDUCATION MEANS | (Carleton Plate Herald) » 3 District Newsographs The education of the boy and girl to-day, in eur humble judgment, received from the public schools of our country, must be based upon the three great Honesty, Industry. The feeling of humanity that is planted in the breast of thé hoy 'and 'girl By the benéfident rays that come from the teacher will live forever; it matters not: in what walk of life it may be; whether in the school room, counting house, shop, farm or profession. The humanitarian ideas that ave ineubated in their mind while.attending school remain forever. If these-are based upon the thought that the feelings of 'a fellowman' must be respected, that 'the ties of kinship and fellowship are among the most beautiful and ennobling' that can he planted in' our hearts ; if héyond all this the boy and girl are taught to look higher than the things of thls world, then oiie of the foundation stones upon which educa- tion is based is secure and the state is safe, The common schools of our land must instill in the minds of every hoy and girl the element of honesty ; honesty to himself; honesty fo his neighbor; honesty to his country, "Troubles never come singly," says Captain John RE.

Environment very largely makes us or breaks us. Travel with rogués and you will become like them. Consort with wise men and you cannot help taking a certain amount of their | wisdom, 'He that walketh with wise men shall be wise." None of us ean'dfford to miss the advantage of association with those who know better than we do. The trouble is too many of us want to' shine in our own feeble way and are so fond of being big roads in the little puddle that we miss the advantages of contaet with those who are able to inerease our wisdom. Cut out wasting your time with those who have nothing to give you. Rub against those that are sure to brighten not dull the wits you have. ""The compgnion of fools shall be destroyed.""
