They put in whiskey to make it strong, then water to make it weak; gin to make it hot and ice to make it cold; lemon to make.it sour, sugar to make it sweet: then they say, Here's to YOU! And dririk it themselves."--New Glasgow News.

The Importance of Personal Habits The subject of personal habits is a very ticklish one, one which needs careful handling. It is an old saying that "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread," and in this case we will take the fool's chance. In fact, that is what many people are doing in their careless personal habits with fire every day of their lives. Perhaps the most effective way to approach the . matter, in a Fire Prevention Week sermon, is to relate the results of some personal habits in other people, as people generally like to hear about the other fellow. A man dropped a cigarette in a rubbish pile in a rooming house and burned to death eleven people. A man dropped his cigarette in a couch in the lobby of a hotel. Fire started at 3 a.m. and resulted in the death of four people. A mother in one of our leading col-ege cities, LAKEPORT October 29th, 1935 Mr. Ben Moore of Agincourt spent Sunday at his home here.
