amount of trufli in tile form of sex literaturr that is fnllink into the haniln of their boys and girls filth from across the bonier flows into our canadian homca to wreck our canadian youth a gen- ration a to we were troubled ovci he cltcct that the dime novel had upon our boys we were griefstrick en when they held up the officials of e bank and escaped with the booty not for the sake of the money but to get the thrills that accompany a holdup individual a house or a rail road train there can be no quea- that the literature of that period responsible for the downfall of many a mothers dearerthaniife son to a great extent this detective bfoodandth under rtutt has seen its day it is supplanted by the sex story that seems to be takinft the reading world by storm the harvest of the former literature was thclossof pro perty freedom and life of the latter io me thing far more valuable the good lame and morals of our young people what a people read that they are nd to sec where wo are headed one has but to look through the american maga lines of socalled jifo stores published by concerns which know that their publications supply the de mand of a class of people who are moral lepers the concerns that for the love of money place in the hands of the young stories that are not true to life though so claimed stor ies that will lead youth astray much more certainly- than the detective story since the dawn of civilisation down to the present time a woman who is marked by the scarlet letter may live to that she will regain the respect of good men and women but the door to tho social world is eternally closed to her and the black spot on her name can by no means be erased man unless ho be her inferior morals and intellect will ever take heftis a wife it is not right for the woman alone to be placed beyond the pale of so ciety while the same society closes its eyes to the past of the man who has been her companion in wrong- doitig but such ip the case wc can not change it woman like a osed postage stamp once inked i done for and any writer who preachen otherwise lures the innocent into a life lfee that of the leper who may be cured but is so disfigured be eternally shunned the publishers of these megminas manage to get their publications through the mail permitting their writers to go just as far as they please in writing of the things that men and women have always held sacred just so they include a little preachment and say that these things arc wrong they stop right at the edge of vulgarity and many of them hardly atop there after years of observance we know that the influence of such literature is bad but what can wo do when the publishers keep within the law when we tell n child not to read a certain book that the book is bad wc right there plant a desire in that mind to see for itself what we term bad we want to cultivate a love of read ing in our young people books can be friends safeguards companions educators they open up another world to us enriching the mind but there must be supervision over the books ami magailncs which come into the home nnd there must be no dearth of what wc know to be good reading there is an inexhaustible supply of wholesome fiction and interesting books on historttravcl biography and adventure and if this be sup plied our boys and girto will be train ed to appreciate the true and sense

inducted what canadian women can do to i remote prosperity in the dominion by changing the balance of trade in a more favorable direction was stress ed by colonel charles mcculiough chairman of the producedin canada committee in his interesting address before the canadian business and professional womens club at to ronto on saturday he pointed out that 85 per cent- of the advertising le country made a direct appeal omen aa buyers and that if wo und discrimination in their pur chases they could request produced- incanada goods and restore better trade conditions while canada wa purchasing at the rate of 60 per head in the united states he united states was purchasing at the rate of 4 per head from canada maklbg a most unfavorable balance of trade when there was unemployment the country it resulted in hardship for the women who had necessarily to stretch the puree strings to meet the trying conditions by allowing the countrys money to go out to foreign countries canadian industries were being injured and unemploy ment increased in concluding col mccullough urged the women of can ada to buy canadian produced goods especially if the quality were as good that from other countries if a boy over 14 is eager foi education and is willing to study in- should be given all the necessary en couragement but on the other hand there are ads who have no desire for booklearning and who will onl

considerable effect on the advertising and sale of mer chandise throughout ontario the case which came up for their lordships consideration was rex vs roderick it was brought out that certain mer chants of picton had formed a club giving each dollar customer a member ship ticket later a raffle was held the ticketholders drawing for a small sedan and other lesser prizes the manager of the scheme was convicted under the lottery law and the first divisional court dismissed his appeal a similar appeal from chntham came ider the same ruling as this method of advertising goods has been quite popular with merchants in ontario the ruling will liave a wide application it now ap pears that where a number of pcr- bons own an article in common they may raffle it among themselves bat it is
