For was there not the widow who cast into the treasury of the temple at Jerusalem more than all they that were casting into the treasury a farthing--all her living? By the teaching commemorated and acclaimed on Christmas Day, hers was the greatest gift of all, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: "The gift, to be true, must be the flowing of the giver unto me, correspondent to my flowing unto him." That is said to reach the heights of clean thinking. "For the gift without the giver is bare." Quite obviously, if profit there may also be loss if minds a bit too sharp Pursue thought upon gifts and giving too eagerly. The ancient error of looking the gift-horse in the mouth is one pitfall, Doubting gif- tees did that to see how old the horses were and why the givers were giving them away, All the analyses of giving demand, as a duty, discreet restraint, Away with the thought, too, that Christ- mas giving is a game of trading blind. Gifts and giving have been a stimulant of thought among the poets and the thinkers since the beginnings of literature. A modern writer who appropriates philosophy as his particu- lar dish declares that a death in the family is a "provocation to philosophy." Little less than that if a gift, whether from a member Af the family or from someone else, CORRECT WAY TO SPANK Spanking, according to a professor of sociology, is dependable as a corrective of naughty children and should be retained-- more extensively resorted to, ew it should consist in 2 meeting of minds-- Father's and Willie's--with common pur- pose to make Willie like the lamming that his wicked conduct bas made indispensable ishment has been attained it will be found that Williedwill not be happy without his . spanking &nd, of course, then he will be thoroughly good and dependable. Sociolegy is fine for those who can laugh. AGE AND APPEARANCE So many visible effects of the passage of time are recorded in the appearance of the skin, that it is easy to understand why it has been said that man is no older than he looks, It is entirely understandable that appearance, in respect to age, is reflected in one's consciousness, He comes to feel older than he is and older than he looks, Vigor and vitality are apt to be registered in the skin, and firmness and resiliency are preserved with health, This does not pre- vent the gravings of care and of fret from appearing in the lines of the face, the total effect often' providing compensation by the fact that the definite lines of character are strengthened, No one is really complimented by the painter who works out the lines of the face or so tones them down that the heritage of the years in experience and reflection are lost to the individual in the effort to make him appear younger and "better looking," The visage of Lincoln appears to best ad- vantage in those untouched photographs or painted portraits wherein are preserved each rugged line and obtrusive mole, Yet there is much that enters into the countenance of Lincoln which testifies to the needless abra- sions of time upon texture in early years, Science has been too long in learning that the disintegration of epidermis gells is' the 1 physiological cause for vanishing beauty, If these cells could be built up so as to pre- serve the appearance of health and defeat skin ageing, the benefit would be reaped by multitudes who are not interested in beauty lotions or face lifting, g EASY READING "The trouble with modern novels," says a woman writer, "is that they are too easy to read." An intendedly adverse criticism that the average reader will accept as a fav- ourable one, Leave obscurity to the vers libre writers, But let prose be free from verbal sockdolagers and from twisted ex- pression and complex meaning - that baffle understanding. A novel is generally read for entertain- ment, for: amusement. If it teaches some truth of psychology or history or economics, so much the better. But obscurity would militate against its effectiveness with the reading public, and rightly so. A novel that can not be easily read is not apt to be read, and such instruction as it may carry is apt to be lost. The critic of modern novels who deplores easy readableness should remember the ancient rule that "easy reading is hard writing." EDITORIAL NOTES You may make a success of your life work and still be a failure, If you let everybody know how much sense you have, you haven't any. It is a good idea to be frank, if you don't care what happens to your face. Half the divorces are obtained by couples who failed to keep each other busy enough. History of the common people; Sixteenth century, held down; twentieth century, held up. Mere infatuation doesn't last long, but there is no cure for real love except mar- riage. : There isn't much chance to arbitrate a thing while each side thinks it can lick the other.

Barton, M.D. OLD AND NEW DOCTORS An editorial writer, in speaking of the modern Physician as compared with the physician of just a few years back, compares things as in wartare, "The early physician had no search lights, no star shells to light.up the battle field, nor any airplanes or cap- tive balloons to spy out the invaders, He did his best with the equipment at his disposal, and was frequently successful, "This older type'of medical prac- tice must now be put away with the horse pistol, the blunderbus, and the muzzle loadin cannon, because this is the day of accuracy and high power explosives," There is now the microscope which can "spot" the organism that is caus- ing the trouble, can examine the na- ture of the blood, the urine, and waste from intestine; the X ray ma- chine which can diagnose a broken bone, a dislocated joint, a cancer and uleér of stomach and intestine, stones in the gall bladder and kidneys; the electrocardiograph which shows ex- actly how the nerves and muscle of the heart are performing their work, the sphygmomanometer that tells the exact blood pressure; the electric op- thal moscope for accurate detection of eye ailments; chemical tests of the blood, urine, and other fluids of the body, and many other "helps." And naturally if you have Pond out the nature of the ailment there is now more up-to-date treatment of these ailments than in past days, The use of the X ray and radium in the treatment of chronic skin con- ditions and even cancer, The use of light, heat, massage, electricity and other agents are now on a scientific and established basis. You can readily understand there- fore that the modern physician ap- proaches a patient with more knowl- edge and confidence than his breth- ren of the past. And yet the physician of the past possessed something that the modern physician, unless he is watchful, may fall short of. . Because he hadn't so much mechanical equipment to help him, the older physician had to ex- amine and question the patient very closely. He thus obtained a knowl- edge of human nature that was "half the battle" in his diagnosis and treat- ment, Mechanical helps do not get the "full" story from the patient. Only the doctor's own personality obtains that. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) QUARTER BILLION INCREASE FOR U3. DRY ENFORCEMENT Senate Votes Huge Appro pristion Without Word of Discussion Washington, Dec. 14. --Without a word of debate the Senate yester- day boosted the appropriation pro- posed for prohibition enforcement next year from $13,500,000 to $270,627,384, highest figure ever suggested. The increase. howev- er, still must be approved by the House where repeated efforts to provide such a large sum have met with failure. ! The move to increase the aliot- ment was made by Senator Bruce, Democrat, Maryland, ome of the Wet leaders in Congress, who pre posed the more than quarter-bil- lion dollar addition in amendment form to the Treasury Post Office bill, after the Senate once had pass- ed the measure. The Senator got his amendment in, however, by asking for recon- sideration of the bill and them things moved so swiftly that it ap- parently was mot until some time later that the Senate realized what had occurred. Unable even to explain his amendment because of the rush with which it went through, Sena- tor Bruce later explained off the floor that "if we can't repeal the Dry Act let us endorse it right." He said he had suggested the increase bec Commi{ssi Doran, of the Prohibition Bureau, had de- clared recently that it would take $300,000,000 to enforce the law. To support this increase for ea- forcement work, the Maryalnd sen- ator sald ne now proposed to gre- pare a Hill authorizing enovygh new federal courts to "cover the land and 'ake care of the en»r- mous - increase fc busiress wanich seems in aroepect." Senator Bruce laugaed sloud to the dismay of the small group of Senators on the foor when nis amendment was approved and the bill immediately thereafter declared passed As Mr. Bruce tanghel. Chairman Warren turned to the amendment. read it over and ther laughed him- | self. He showed other members on the floor what they had Aust | accepted aad they all de~idgd tae laugh was on themselves, that the coaferees of the Serate {and House wouid mot accept the enormous 'increase.

He is a native of Finland, but a naturalized British subject, Hon, W, H, Price, Attorney-Gen- eral of Ontario, instructed Crown At- torney McKessock to investigate two recent articles in Vapaus, The arti- cles referred to the illness of the King and were in opposition to the monarchy, The arrest followed the conclusion of the Crown Attorney's investigation, Considerable feeling has been ar- oused locally by the articles, The Sudbury branch of the Canadian Le- gion met tonight and passed a re- solution urging action by the pro- vincial authorities against the paper. The resolution was forwarded to the Attorney-General, Attorney-General Comments "It think it is very subversive at this time, when the King is ill, to make these attacks," said Hon, W, H, Price yesterday with reference to the articles published in Vapaus, "It is almost inhuman, outside of any other consideration. We do not ordinarily pay much attention to these com- munist things, unless they are vital, because lots of these chaps are seck- ing publicity, and the more they get the better they like it. But this is a case where, evidently, the writer has gone out of the way for the purpose of reviling the Sovereign." "Will the King die? It is all the same to us," the Vapaus said, ac- cording to the translation, "Capital is the one which really rules in mod- ern society, kingship being only a Jawful piece of decoration, while gluttonous financiers riot with the wealth secured through the workers' sweat and blood." "Will the King die? If he does, we hope royalty will die with him, and a republic take its place, The change of kings will not better our conditions, no matter who holds the sceptre. Only the rise to power of the workers themselves will save us from the curse of capitalism." The articles are signed "Tuppova- aran Isko"" The translations were furnished by Rev. D. T. Jones, in charge of the Anglo-Saxon Mission of the United Church at Sudbury, OTTAWA AGREEABLE TO CONFER WITH U.S, ON SMUGGLING PACT Ottawa, Dec, 14, --"The Canadl- an Government is prepared to ar- range for participation in a confer ence to be held in Ottawa some time in Jasuary to discuss phascs of commercial smuggling."
