The "bonus" is extra pay for ëxtrtjt efficiency. Many have been, the accusations against large numbers of male Britons as "slackers" "slackers" in the work required by the war . It seems pretty clear that no such charge can lie against female Britofis for whom the way has-been opened to "do their bit." On the record they are beating the men. The Editor Talks There's a sobering thought for the dreamers of "complete conquest" on either side in that incident, in the attitude attitude it recognized, in the resolution it recorded--a resolution that these British women, and the women of all nations at war, are showing to-day. Either side may conquer the other's men. Neither side can ever conquer the other's women. Winter Session Opens January 3rd in all departments departments of Shaw's Business Schools Toronto.

Meanwhile score one for the British women and for the example they are setting the men! If they can't do the work of war in the trenches they are doing the wbrk in the shops without without which the work in the trenches would fail. And they are doing it more efficiently, more devotedly than the men. They are just as truly fighting fighting for Britain's cause, and fighting harder. Yet there are those who still say that women should not vote because because they "can't fight!" We shall hear less of that piffling argument in the British Islands after the war,- if Englishmen retain any sense of the realities or any sense of humor. -- ^ The French Government has called to the colors 400,000 young conscripts who in ordinary times would have begun begun their period of service in 1917. They are 18 and 19 years old. They will not be sent directly to the field; but after a few months of garrison duty they will be found sharing the hardships of the life in the trenches with their elders ; and names of those now in full tide of youth and the flush of promise will fill the roll of honor of the slain.

Dated at Bowmanville this 29th day of December, December, 1915. 53-4 ! ELIZABETH GLOVER, Administratrix Thus does the inexorable - hand of war withdraw from the-uses of peace nearly half a million whose lives in their varied occupations would have counted to make the world a happier and a more comfortable abiding place. The future is robbed of its most cherished cherished and most valuable assets. In the thought of the hundreds of thousands marching high-hearted to the shambles shambles of mute, unprotesting patriotic sacrifice there is more of pity and of horror than in the tidings of wrecked cathedrals and ruined villages, or even in the subsequent recapitulation of the regimental losse^in the field. * -- TO THE KAISER.

Kind reader, what is your gift/ to the world for 1916? Have you planned planned any special work for this year ? Don't be a shirker and say you have no chance. Many people claim that they would do great things if given a chance, but their resources are too limited, they have small influence, their sphere of activity is too small, their education is not good enough, and their health will not stand the strain. They say the world is too big and anything they can do would not amount to much, so on they go as before, indifferent to its great needs, oblivious of its great sorrows, and unmoved by any human impulses to aid in the world's betterment. They may mourn over its great sorrows and dream over the great things they would do if they had the chance. If you are really sincere in a desire to be a benefactor to your race you will find a chance. You can make your life big by trying honestly. You -will find the opportunity to do something worth while, a way will open for your hopes, your dreams, your efforts, your influence, so that your work will bear fruit. . very, well to say that the life of the turtle is flat, stale and unprofitable. After all, he lives long and apparently apparently comfortably and happy--barring such accidents as getting into soup Man, on the contrary, lives a brief existence, hampered, nagged and handicapped by countless miseries and disabilities that not only shorten his existence, but embitters it, causing him, as a rule, to break down prematurely prematurely and preventing him from achieving what, mind and body are capable of achieving when working in harmony with Nature's laws. Man has defied the forces of Nature and harnessed many of . them in his service, service, but concomitantly he has broken many of the laws of Nature, creating an artificial environment, protective in some respects, menacing in others. Ally yourself with others who are moved by like desires, as a helper. When a number of persons set themselves themselves a proper task and. bend their united energies to accomplish it, their objective is most likely to be reached. You can have a definite, positive, personal part in helping to do some work for the world's uplift. You can help by giving of -your best. True, your efforts may not count for as much as will those of some others, but there are senses in which the biggest biggest gifts do not count for most. It is just possible that when the list of gifts is published, or otherwise announced, announced, that the sight of many small Referring again to the tortoise, the question that confronts us is this : Is it inevitable that the higher and more complex life of man should be shorter than the lower life of the turtle ? "So far as science can reveal, there seems to be no principle of either life or death. Many good and bad reasons are adduced why men die, but no underlying necessary reason why they must die. We read recently that the brilliant Carrel, now working in the very jaws of death, has kept "tissue cells alive outside the body for the past three years. These cells are multiplying and growing, apparently, unchanged by time, to all appearances immortal so long as they are periodically washed of poison, and nourished in a-proper medium. Wash man of his poisons at intervals and nourish him and why should he not live on as long as - there is energy in the universe to supply his needs ? Withal, we would not waste one mo- gif ts that are made evidently at the l „ , , , .- , , ment of time in pleading for a mere cost of real sacrifice, may stimulate 1 „ • .. r ^ . • ! extension of human existence if there some who are better able to give more i , - . . , - .. . . , . . 7, ... i were not in our opinion sound scien- for -giving promotes giving,' and the U iflc evidence to " Iove that such ex _ very volume of the stream of bew. j ^ ^ most £ asily be attained by improving the quality and the total value of existence.

Do not be afraid to talk to tury there has been no material addition addition to the span of human life--very few having lived beyond the hundred years' limit. wheels of business moving? Is there some good kind of fairy that watches for the first signs . of faulty heart pump, of an impaired poison separator (the kidneys), of poles and wires down in the telegraph and telephone system (nerves), of hardening in those normally elastic tubes (arteries), (arteries), and countless other indications, of over-stalking, rust and clinkers in this marvellously complex human machine machine ? Alcohol impairs efficiency through its narcotic effect on the brain; but there are othèr poisons that may be generated in a diseased body, that have a similar influence; and that it is, at least, fair to infer that their influence in many cases would be equal to that of so-called moderate beer-drinking. These figures figures have all been predicted on the moderate use of alcohol. No need to argue about the immoderate use of alcohol. That puts a man out of con- tion to do anything, useful. Welfare work and emergency medical relief for employees is provided in most of the important industrial establishments, establishments, and many of them require a physical examination before employment. employment. A regular, systematic, periodic physical examination of the entire body, such as is applied to ordinary machinery, is, however, practically non-existent in too many establishments. establishments. In regard to man's body, long before before the heart breaks down or the kidneys kidneys lose their function, or the arteries arteries become seriously affected, there is a period of slow change which often affects the efficiency of the individual and increases the liability to accident.- These early signs of trouble are readily readily revealed by the thorough health examinations, affording the opportunity opportunity not only to prevent disease and accident accident due to an improperly working jody, but to improve the general average average condition of the individual, raise lim to a higher level of physical fitness fitness and increase his capacity for iving happily, contentedly and ef- :iciently.

There is a scarcity in American grown crops, including beans, onions, and to a lesser extent sweet corn. Amongst the imported stocks, swede turnips are rather short, also spinach ànd salsify and some varieties of carrots.

THE VAGARIES OF THE ADELIE. A Sailor's Experience Penguins. With the Our Patriotic Indians. Mr. R. E. Priestley, of Captain Scott's antarctic expedition, relates an amusing experience with Adelie pen- güins off Flagstaff Point. The Terra Nova had landed a party to take off geological specimens, but the men had some difficulty in keeping the penguins away from the boat. As we lay alongside the ice foot, gays the author in his "Antarctic Adventure," Adventure," we blocked the birds' access to their rookery, but that did not seem to bother the penguins in the least. They would rise out of the water water a few yards off, take a glance at descendant of the original inhabitants. inhabitants.
