KENT, Agent Who of us has not at the opening of the new year thoughts about personal personal welfare and future endeavors-- how to make the present year tell for the greatest good socially, morally, intellectually and financially. The best results are most likely to come from observing certain fixed principles. principles. Success does not come from haphazard courses of action. In other words, if we want success in any particular particular direction we must plan for it and work diligently with a set purpose to attain our object. We must look ahead. True, we may learn valuable lessons from the experiences of the past year, but we must remember the old adage that the mill can never grind with water that is passed. Opportunities Opportunities once gone may never return. return. We must seize them as they come to us and use them. Now m the opening days of another year, we should firmly resolve to improve the moments, for to use another similie, when the string breaks and golden beads slip off one by one, they may be found again, but there is always the possibility that they may have dropped dropped into a crack, or other hiding place from which they may never be recovered. Likewise, the moments we heedlessly waste are like beads dropped dropped from a broken string. If they are morning moments--the best part of the day--our utmost endeavor may not find them until nightfall, and if found they will not repay_ us so full as they might have done in the earlier earlier day.

This virtue can be acquired by a firm resolve to decide all questions speedily. It can not always be done, but oftener than not they can he settled and acted upon promptly. Planning one's day's work ahead is well where it can be done, for a great deal of tune is wasted in mere dawdling and wondering what should be done ,next. Old Samuel Johnstone was once consulted by a man about his young friend's reading: "While you are wondering and questioning questioning which of two books you will let that boy read, another boy will have read both." Time was never more valuable to young lives than in this age when there are so many • sub jects of which to acquire a knowledge, so it should be utilized, every minute of it. Some persons waste much time by indecision--a lack of grasp or perspective. perspective. They do not seem to see what the probable results of certain actions will be. They desire to take the course that offers least resistance. resistance. They begin to parley with themselves themselves to decide what they had better do and how, what they should read whereHdiey should go and in what way they can best accomplish a cer tain undertaking. To all such persons to be able to make quick decisions anc stand by them is a most valuable as set. It will be well to go about our duties according to some kind of sys tern or schedule so as to make the very best use of our time, and so as always to be on time. subscription season comes round he meete hundreds of his customers face to face in a deal for the year's newspapers, newspapers, and every such- season affords him a chance to study men and he does it, and it is the knowledge of men so gained that has whetted his appetite to such a keen edge to read Dr. Myers' new book on "The Man Inside." * * * * Dr. Myers says there are four things which make a man what he is --heredity, environment, the will and God. "By the grace of God I am what I am," says the good Book. Heredity is the peculiar law which Nature holds sacred and never fails to make operate in every seed that is planted and every root that is fixed in the ground and in every other department of the natural world--grapes never grow on thorns and figs never hang on thistles. By culture a fruit, vegetable vegetable or kind of grain may be changed and enlarged, but never altered into a new life. An oak may be changed from a dwarf or scrub oalj into a magnificent magnificent specimen of that tree life but never into an apple tree. Solomon had David for his ancestor and so his character first had a place in David's own life. Moses had a great mother --the queenliest queen that Egypt ever possessed. Samuel had Hannah for his mother or he never would have been Samuel. John and Charles Wesley, Wesley, the founders of the Methodist Church, were great men. Charles wrote some of the best hymns the world owns. But every note of music music that ever ran in the _vçins of Charles Wesley came from the heart of his father. Both John and Charles Wesley were made what they were by their ancestry--the splendid--elements that reigned in the lives of their father father and mother.

Take il from us that the great difference u the amount of profitable work accomplished accomplished will be very astounding to you, We are none of us free of guilt on Hie question of wastefulness and few of us byt who waste more time in our activities than in our idleness. It is not time spent in doing nothing much as doing often what we need not do that is the great destroyer of our highest efficiency. Think at the end of any day over what you have done and then you may find out what you need to have done. In many classes of activity many go through six or eight motions to accomplish . what could have been done as well in five. We know people, too, who use a hundred hundred words to say what could be as well said in fifty! In letter-writing it's the saine --some persons waste paper, time and the time and patience patience often of the person addressed by a want of directness and brevity of expression and explanation. This time is wasted and slips away unnoticed unnoticed in trickling, wasted minutes, and at the end of a day in which we have been "on the jump" from daylight daylight till dark, we wonder why we have done so little real work.

The question of proper ventilation during the winter months is one which it is quite difficult for many persons to solve. It is apparent to almost everybody thSt the admission of pure air is necessary necessary if efficient work is to be performed performed in office and school and if refreshing refreshing sleep is desired by night. The fresh air does not depend upon the temperature and can be supplied by a proper heating and ventilating system. The opening of windows, while it admits admits the fresh air, often causes drafts which are uncomfortable, not to say injurious Where a number of persons persons are occupied in a room it is often a cause of subjecting one or two to exposure if the windows are opened to secure ventilation. This can be avoided avoided by an ample supply of warm air. Numerous devices, more or less expensive, expensive, have been placed on the market, market, but are not always satisfactory. The most economical and at the same time probably the most efficient ventilating ventilating device is one made of glass or wood eight or ten inches in height and made the width of the sash. This should be laced underi the sash, with a slant from the bottom to the top at an angle for forty-five degrees, leaving leaving an opening at the top covered with cheesecloth. Ventilators of this sort are so simple that they can be made at small cost anywhere and the covering _ can be I readily replaced. They are suitable for office and school room, living rooms and bedrooms. They permit reasonable ventilation without too great a loss of heat, and prevent that stuffines of atmosphere which is dangerous dangerous to health and destructive to real comfort during the \yinter months. This device leaves an opening opening between the upper and lower sash through which the used air of the room may escape. Ireland, having a small sporting estate to sell, . advertised it, and soon afterward a gentleman called to see about it. "Well, sir," said he, "I have been over that estate you advertised, and find it all right except that fine trout stream you mentioned."- "It runs through the wood in the lower part of the meadow," said the land owfier. "What! That little brook ? Why, it doesn't hold much more than a spoon- -ful. I am sûre if you were to empty a pail of water into it it would overflow. overflow.

One's daily occupation will bring its own requirements in these different divisions of our time. * * * * This brings us to the kernel of our subject--how can we best use the year upon which we have entered ? We answer answer by repeating what we said toward toward the first of this article: To make the very best use of our time during this year 1917 we must look diligently diligently after the minutes and. what they call in school "spares," to use them profitably and to the very best advantage. advantage. Were we to keep a strict account of every hour of our time for a single week, setting down the exact manner in which every hour is spent, we should find when" we came to view the record that it was full of admoni tion and instruction for us. In this practical and simple way--adopted in some industrial concerns with employees--one employees--one could readily understand understand his secret of his want of time. In too many cases, we fear, he would discover that he has given hours to idle or unprofitable talk, to indolence, and to inconsiderable trifles which have yielded him neither profit or genuine pleasure. How would we avoid such waste? The remedy we suggest is to arrange our work in the order of comparative importance^--to attend first to the things or duties which are essential and allow unessentials to makes him what he is."

The imperative character of the call made by the Canadian Patriotic Fund is denied by no one. A campaign for contributors to it will be begun in this town in a short time. Why not make one of the features of this campaign the plan adopted with success in other places, namely, the contribution of wage-earners of one day's pay a mouth? The idea has "caught on" in other towns. In many factories and stores the employees have acted unanimously, unanimously, and either instructed the employer to deduct one day's pay a month, or appointed one of their own number to make the collection monthly. ( The average payment to each family family by the Canadian Patriotic Fund is sixteen dollars a year* A day's pay a month will go a long way towards helping some such family to get through 1917 in comparative comfort. suppresses the cold, allays the inflammation, inflammation, steadily removes the irritation and rebuilds the resistive power to prevent lung trouble.

A new method of treating -serious burns that involves the use of air and sunlight has been put into practice at John Hopkins Hospital and already in a number of cases has been successful. successful. "Nature cures" have been recognized as the most practicable in a rapidly in T creasing list of ailments. The general .idea back of all these methods is that nature, with a fair chance, will do more for the sick body than will drugs or surgery. In treating burns a small part of the inÿired surface is exposed directly directly tc^he sun and air out of doors. The best results are obtained in temperate temperate weather, when the patieïfC jian lie at ease for hours under the direct rays of the sun and the influence of the air. In colder weather only more indirect exposure is possible and then the results are not rapid. As a result of the treatment skin grafting will not have to be used in a number of cases. The effect of the air and sunshine sure is to keep alive much of the burned tissue and in time this tissue grows out over the burned surface. ♦> In the Indian Army all orders are 'given in English.
