The habit of being positive strengthens the mind and develops power to achieve. Nature has lavished her smiles upon the war gardens of Ontario. The crop of vegetables this year will be in abundant one. A submarine has sunk a ship off the New Brunswick coast. The Hun demonstrates his impartiality by sinking Canadian as well as Ameri- «can boats, After four years of war the crown ~prince's army is farther away from Paris than ever. The "will to win" must be pretty well hammered out of rat-eyed Willie. The kaiser has issued another ® bombastic proclamation to iis people. "God is with us," ha de- elares. "With as," but not "for us" would be more truthful. The Red Cross advertises that they "want women to mend." Which prompts the New York Sun to gallantly remark: "But most women don't need mending; they're all right 'as they are." hb : Food will win the war. That fact will bear repeating. The govern- nient does not ask anyone to deprive himself of the essentials to healthy Giving, but it does ask everyone to take great care that he wastes no- * thing. The German press speaks lightly of the "untrained Americans." Yet these same "untrained Americans' 'met und defeated the proud Prussian Guards last week. When the "train- td" Americans get into their stride the German press will have another story to tell, The United States is organizing a "Go-get-'em" force--a body of dar- ing young men specially trained for submarine hunting. It is a branch of the servieé that will appeal to the lover of adventure. More thrills can 'be gotten out of this job than an actor in a Douglas Fairbanks movie ever experiences. « -------------- Sir Bernard Mallet, the Dritish - registrar-general, declares that race "suicide, on a colossal scale, has fol- lowed as a direct resuh. of German 'militarism.

So far the government has taken no ac tion to protect the public. Failure to act will result in more food rio's similar to that witnessed in Torouts on Friday night. ---------------- hasing thirty home are ob- double the in this coun at to GOOD CITIZENSHIP. Has it ever occurred to the jority 'that those priceless things ideals of liberty and justice and right living--can be neither bought nor sold? They are not heirlooms, and no parent can hand them down ticketed and tied like government bonds, or enclosed, like jewels, in a strong box. They may be "recom- mended," and even insisted upon, but are adopted voluntarily or not at all. These facts offer food for serious thought on the pagt of those who are responsible for Canada's fulure Whatever ijeals it is desirable for the citizens of to-morrow to possess must be instilled into the conscious. mess of the children of to-day. . The process is the tedious one of "line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little'"'--a pro- cess at, times inspiring but more of- ten than not discouraging.. It is a process little realized in the main because its workings are unseen Not until the generation ready for citizenship can it be seen that damage has been done. Only then is one aware of the evidence of the harmful infuence. Human car- eers are too precious to be subafit- ted to this exploitation, and the most serious duty confronting pat- riots to-day Is the provision of in- fluences that 'will produce high standards of living for generations to come. Had this truth been recognized from any other than a largely theo- retical standpoint by the men and women of the preceding and the pre- sent generation, it would wot have 'been possible for the vicious theor: ies promulgated by Frederick the Great (wrongly so called) to be working themselves out to-day in Prussian atrocities. There can not be too vigorous pushing of welfare movements or the establish- ment and maintainence of supervis- ed playgrounds, Boy Scout move- ments, national health boards, care- fully considered housing schemes, city planning and every other move- ment that centres in the cleanest, finest living. An examination ints the things in which all were most keenly concerned a decade ago will not result in 'a list of those things as national interests. Everyone of them must be absorbing interests if Prussianism is to be stamped out forever. ma WAR JARGON. The busy collectors of the latest war minting of words display some amazing exhibits. England supplies in "obof" and "mebus," terms that certainly convey no meaning to the uninitiated mind. = "Obof." being in- terpreted, proved to be a recruit un- der the latest English military act. The initial letters of the phrase "Odd buffers ever forty," taken to- gether, supply this singular word. 'Mebus" is also the result. of an aggregation of 'initial letters, this time, curiously, lifted from the Ger- man. It is the British plural of a singular formed by the initial let- ters of German words whose literal signification is "'machine-gun-iron- concrete-emplacement.." Another coinage from England is "gribble."" In this case the origin is & man's name. A Mr. Gribble' of Northampton, established an AMied war fund. A weekly contribution to this fund is called a "gribble." Here nconscious association must play a part. A contribution could scarcely go under the name of a "smith" or a "jones" or a "robfn- son," but.the echo of "dribble" in. "'gribble," combined with the slight droliness the name has anyway, would Serve very well to fix il in the #8e intended. It transpires also that there Is al' war word "mik.'

Citizens Who Are Not Thrifty Will Be Punished. Enforcemeat of the Canada Food Board's regulations as to food con- servation has been placed In 'the hands of the police machinery of the municipalities and of the different provinces throughout the Dominion, It is the duty of the provinces to | enforce Federal laws and the orders of the Canada Food Board bave the effect of Federal law, being passed upon authority of orders issued by the Privy Couneil and published in the Canada Gazette, It, therefore, becomes the duty of police officers throughout the Dominion to acquaint themselves with these regulations re- garding our food supply and to see to it that they are obeyed. At this stage of the world's food situation, when 4,750,000 people in Europe have starved to death as compared to 4,250,000 soldiers who have died as the result of battle, it is beyond cavil or dispute that these food regu- lations are absolutely necessary. In: deed, many people in communication with friends in England or in France think our Canadian regulations mild in view of what people on the other side are undergoing. Patriotism as well as duty should Ynspire submis. sion to these restrictions by the pub- lic and vigilant enforcement of them by the officers of the law. In, cases of convictions secured by the municipal police officers, it should be noted that where these convictions result in the imposition of fines, the money from these fines is to be paid to the municipal treas- uries, and similarly in the cases where provincial officers secure con- victions, The. Canada Food Board has circularized these orders in ofil- cial form throughout the police ma- chinery of the various provinces, be- ginning with the Attorneys-General and continuing through the lists of Crown Attorneys and Crown Prose- cutors, In some provinces the chief constables have also received coples of the various orders affecting the public. As a result, throughout Canada of recent weeks, there has been a crop of convictions. In all cases the magistrates® have stood firmly behind the regulations and im. posed the penalties' as rovided, These run from $100 to $T000, in fines or imprisonment yp to three months-or both, Restaurant keepers, who have served meat on prohibited days and hours, served sugar on the tables or wasted food, have been brought to task and the widespread publicity this has entailed will do a great deal more to assure conserva- tion of food in public eating places than anything else, The anti-loafing law, also bearing upon our war-time. food production, bas likewise been enforced, Magis. trates have seized the opportunity of dealing with loafers, tramps and "sports" by putting them to work on the farms. "Non-essential" indus- tries have n interpreted by some magistrates into more or less defi- nite groups and men, who had no bet- ter excuse than employment in said questionable industzles have béen or- dered to get into more useful occu- pations. In Winnipeg a great change has been observed in the streéts since this law went into effect, The idlers and loafers have disenpeared.
