North Grey election is July 14th; why it was not on the Glorious Twelfth no one has explained. A temperance temperance friend of the editor of this journal --John McQuaker, Owen Sound--is Liberal Liberal candidate;" He is the right stamp of man for the Legislature--a very successful successful business man, has had considérable experience in municipal politics and. possesses possesses high ideals of character. Colin Cameron, Conservative candidate, is also a strong man and popular, so that great interest is taken in the outcome of the polling day. This riding was for long represented by Hon. A; G. MacKay. Kingston Daily Standard, discussing the recent paper in spelling set for the.-entrance examinations to high schools says the man who set that paper should be ashamed of himself for the paper is a ridiculous one .and very unfair being^ "above the head's of pupils who write at this examination." We have long been of the opinion that too great importance should not be attached to spelling much as everybody admires correct spelling, for it is a natural gift. There are born spellers and writers and for the purpose of the entrance examinations examinations to high sChoools no applicant should be plucked for failure in either subject, so vre hope examiners will riot be too exacting exacting in marking, this "ridiculous" written spelling paper which to say the least is no great credit to its author. We think some arrangement ni ght -be made by the Board of Trade by which Saturday shopping during summer months could be done by .9 p.m. to give tir d clerks and horses a little consideration. Last Saturday night many country people were going, home- between II and 12 o'clock. Late shopping is a very bad thing all round and a little thoughtfulness might obviate very much of it; sa esmen and delivery boys are too tired by midnight midnight to rise in time for church Sunday morning, and instead, of getting out in God's pure air and s mstiine with their families they are so dead tired that, the day is of little pleasure to them or their household. It is a shame that shoppers continue to leave buying till so late Saturday Saturday nights; some consideration is due the. workers in shops, surely; This.year has been fertile in colds, pneumonia, bronchitis and other pulmonary pulmonary diseases. Some persons have had frequent colds, others have had great difficulty in shaking off colds. False ideas exist regarding colds; some think one must sit in a draft, have wet feet or get a chill to "catch cold"; colds are oftener started from internal conditions. Dr. David H. Reeder says frequent colds indicate that the system is loaded with a great deal of impurities and poisons which are continually continually being formed in the body and which are not being.eliminated as fast as they should be; soré throat is -a symptom of this self-poisoning; it is to be prevented by regulation of diet and hygiene, including including practising deep breathing. ..Constipation ..Constipation must be absolutely avoided; rise a diet sufficiently laxative and take plenty of water daily--3 to 5 pints at least--for a time between meals. This is the age of publicity because it is the rule in every home to read newspapers. newspapers. Never were papers read as much. Business men realize the 1 truth of this and the up-to-date ones are telling people thru the local papers what they have to sell and inviting inspection. The advertising advertising columns of every live newspaper now possess an interest that they did not have in the olden times. One of our bright y exchanges said last week that "Women to-day feel aggrieved if the dealers dcrnot keep them informed of their stock through the- medium of the good newspapers." Jrist now many newcomers newcomers are locating here arid naturally they réad the local newspapers to get acquainted with the names of merchants. People from the Old Countries are readers and they have no other means of knowing business places. They are influenced by the advertisements. They shop in The James Papers before they shop in the town stores. It is an axiom of business successful in this age that life if too brief to make a financial success of business without advertising. advertising. A man may produce the goods but unless he tells the public he- has the goods for sale no matter how high class they may be they will remain with him. Newspaper advertising.is the best because the worthy newspaper enters the homes of all the people rich and poor. A merchant must invite people to trade witfi. him, treat them as friends by telling them what he has to sell arid inviting them to call. Mostjpeople like to be invited. A merchant merchant who does not invite people to do business with him has no right to complain complain if they trade with those who do invite invite them and take them into their confidence confidence by telling thru the local papers what he has to sell and the : price.. A statement attributed to King George is to the effect that he reprimanded British business men in a public address for forgetting forgetting to advertise sufficiently, telling them that their main fault was notin their goods, but in forgetting to tell the world about them. He said that at the -present day even the greatest corporation had to take the public into their confidence through Jheir advertisements. "Loyalty to obedience is the pathway to the royalty of truth"--Rev. H. B. Kenny. Loyalty to teachers is he pà h- way of true obedience. The first is one of the gems in Pastor Kenny's Sun "a 1 morning sermon. The other is a thought of i he editor growing out of the preacher's axiom. Why should the members of a congregation expect their pastor to spend two or three days a week' preparing his Sunday sermons and then on Sunday preach said sermons to beggarly rows of empty seats? Loyalty to a pastor should prompt every member of his flock to - go to church at least once on Sunday when at home. There is an immense amount of shoddy in some people's religion--such people go to church only when.-they feel like it. A duty to one's self, his pastor and his God should induce all Christian persons to attend church regularlr, rain or shine. If thé preacher can be there his parishoners should be there to greet him and encourage hirii by their presence. The same consideration should actuate a scholar toward a Sunday School teacher. The work of such teacher is a pure labor of love for the members of the class. If the teacher spends precious hours in; preparing preparing the lesson the members of the class should bé sufficiently loyal to attend. Every person owes it to his preacher and his teacher to be present at the service at which erich one officiates--and to be there on time, too.

Kenny gave prominent place to the grand work of the founder of Methodist Church in England, showing the wonderful influence influence of this religious body on the life of the English nation and in Canada in particular. Its departure from some of the ideals of its founder were not likely to help the development and purposé for which it was instituted and for which under the blessing of God it has become, and may yet become in the saving of mankind. mankind. Rev. W. C.
