"What impressed you most?" she was asked. "Well," she replied, after a moment or two's thought, "I think it was the French peasants singing the mayon- Now follows a better way to prepare for the morrow: All of us are always going to do better tomorrow, and we would, too, if only we started today. Five-year-old Billy was talking to his Aunt Mary. She said, "Well," Billy, I suppose you'll start to school next year." "Oh, no, auntie," replied the boy. "What would I do in school--I can't even read or write?" A friend of ours believes it is perfectly alright for the government to spend a million dollars before breakfast, but thinks it is a terrible squander of money for the city board to spend $3,000 over a period of years for gravelling the streets. Sailor-- We just dropped our anchor, lady- Lady--I thought you would. It's been dangling outside for some time. They were entertaining friends in their new house. Suddenly one of the guests sat up and listened. "Surely you are not troubled by mice already?" she said. "That's not mice," replied the householder. "That's the people next door eating celery." Two wives were discussing their respective husbands over a cup of tea. The first complained that her husband never came home from his club until it was past midnight. "Well, my dear," said her friend, "for years I wondered where my husband was spending his evenings. And then one night I reached home early --and there he was!"

"The pleasure-loving generation of today are a bunch'of softies," commented the man who took command of the Bluenose when launched in 1921, and has helped her keep her title of Queen of the North Atlantic Fishing Fleet ever since. The future of the fishing industry in Nova Scotia was threatened by a shortage of young men willing to dare the hardships and dangers of Bank fishing, the Bluenose skipper said in an interview. He did not know if this shortage was caused by prospect of pcor returns from fishing or whether it was "just the effects of our pleasure-seeking age." Automobiles, radios, dance music and other distractions had lured the young men away from the sea. He added the time was not far distant when Lunenburg's famous fleet would put out to sea manned by alien crews. Already there was a fair-sized sprinkling of sailors from Newfoundland and other countries manning the Bankers. In everyone's life there's more prose than poetry. An Englishman visiting an American lake asked a native if the place was good for fishing. "Sure, stranger." "What kind of fish?" "Oh, all kinds, stranger." "What did the largest fish you ever caught weigh?" "Wall, stranger, we don't take weighing machines when we go fishing, and I'm an honest man and would not like to say how much the last trout I caught would weigh. But when • 1 pulled that fish out of the water, the lake went down a foot." There is, just now, quite an argument on among those who study the brain and nerves, about worry. Surprising as it may seem, there are high authorities upon the subject who say a certain amount of worry is a good thing. This depends upon what is understood by worry. If it is a mere nervous anxiety, it is had.

PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO Along Canada's Mining Highway Kegardless of wars and stock markets, mining and oil developments denote continuous progress. Recent highlights in Quebec are the indications of big mine probabilities on Sladen Malartic and East Malar-tic, and an enlarging and higher grade ore outlook on Powell Rouyn. In Ontario's Larder Lake area, Barber Larder is the rising star, with important mine indications. Omega, Kerr Addison and Martin Bird continue to develop favourably. Oriole has new developments of promise. Kirkland Lake Gold is meeting with splendid success at depth. Other Kirkland Lake producers show steady production record. In the Porcupine camp, Moneta and Pamour have outstanding favour-oble ore disclosures. In the Long Lac camp, Hardiock is preparing for production, with the mine indicating an important future Hutchison Lake, on underground work, is shaping up favourably. In Patricia, the Albany River min«, after a long period of uncertainly, la developing important ore. Crowshow, adjoining, is proving the continuance of the favourable structure. In Alberta, the Turner Valley oil field is showing rapid expansion. Recent new production successes indicate important future dividends for Royalite, Brown Oil, Davies Petroleum, Monarch, Foundation and Commonwealth. One hundred miles to the south of Turner Valley, at Taber, the Plains Petroleum Company has attained success with a commercial producer. British Columbia has new gold interest on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The old British trawler, "Espero," which was used in the filming of Victor Hugo's "Toilers of the Sea," is now the floating home of Sea Scouts of the Island of Guernsey. The old vessel, which had been abandoned by the moving picture people on the conclusion of their work, had sunk in St. Peter Port Harbor. It was purchased at auction by Rev. G. A. Taitt, and handed over to the Boy Scouts. The Scouts are refitting the old craft, under the guidance of a ship's carpenter. When at home at Pax Hill, Hampshire, Lord Baden-Powell, World Chief Scout, begins his day at C a.m. with a walk, accompanied by his three dogs. One of these is a big black "Labrador," old and blind. At every stile, relates Mr. J. F. Stewart of Toronto, a summer guest; of the Chief Scout, Baden-Powell helps the old dog over, and guides him through the gate. When they turn back for home, the old dog presses his nose against his master, and is given his cane. Proudly carrying this, the dog goes ahead, and arriving in front of the house, walks slowly in a circle until the Chief Scout comes, and with a pat. takes the cane from him. B.-P. is pictured as a most entertaining host, still full of the play spirit of boyhood. "At dinner one night," related the visitor, "he gave us his ideas of a Caledonia market-- a jumble of people, shacks, booths and noise, and wound up with a lively portrayal of a coster selling "bar-malade." APPETITE^? build up your nerves that usually are the cause of failing appetite, tonic--PHOSFERINE--and see how quiokly A story told by B.-P. with great zest described a military reception when he was a young officer in India. As a prank, he and another youngster carefully disguised themselves and went as "newspaper correspondents," one allegedly for a French newspaper, the other for "a London daily." Chuckling as though the affair had happened but yesterday, B.-P. recounted the chats he had with various people present, including one elderly lady who was pleased to recall having met him in London the previous season--when B.-P. was in India. The Chief Scout was described as remarkably active, and "at 81, as fine a specimen of a well preserved elderly man as one would find anywhere " He always sleeps in a corner room which has no walls on two sides; he rises regularly at C o'clock, and goes for a walk with his dogs. On his return he goes through his small mountain of morning mail, and has it ready for his secretary before breakfast. The visitor marveled at the amount of work done by the entire Baden-Powell family. "Sometimes there were three typewriters going-- Lady B.-P. at her machine on Guide affairs, the Hon. Heather B.-P. on news matter for the press, and the Chief's secretary on his correspondence. A regular workshop!" END PAIN-Soothe SORE HANDS by Rubbing in & MINARD'S LinimenT i^mery-f odT iJrop Down Mail Chute Englishman Has Surprise Alice-In-Wonderland Journey James Thomas, 69, is recovering from the surprise of an Alice-in-Won-derland subterranean journey he ade last week. Mr. Thomas stepped off the Newmarket race train at Liverpool St. station, London, England, and walked across the platform towards a cab. He stumbled ever a railing and disappeared head first into a hole. His wife screamed and fainted. Porters rushed up. Meanwhile Mr. Thomas plunged at express speed down a 90-foot long steel letter chute to the post office in the tube station under the street. Turned Up In Post Office Ten seconds late, breathless and aghast, his bowler hat bouncing before him, he shot on to the revolving band, Charlie Chaplin fashion. Dumbfounded postal workers stopped the machinery and picked up the white-haired man, who had suffered nothing worse than a slight cu* on one hand and a bad shaking up. He was taken back to his wife. She revived at the sight of her lost husband. "Oh, Squibbs!" she cried, and they embraced as hundreds cheered the return of the man "who went down there." guard a newly discovered diamond field, pending a legal decision on an action to stay prospecting.

Or, when among others--take two Phillips' Tablets that come in a small flat tin you carry in purse or vest pocket.--You do it unnoticed. Relief is almost immediate; "Gas," nausea, acid breath and other offensive symptoms leave.-- That "stuffed" feeling and pains from "acid indigestion" cease to annoy. You feel great. This is the way, we believe, more doctors use than any othes when alkalizing upset stomach.
