Of this number 1,888 took place be- tween the ages of 20 and 39. In other words, nearly 729 of all such re deaths were of those in the very prime of life. Despite the efforts made. to re- duce fire loss in Ontar{o, by pub licity and education, the loss for the first ten mofiths of the present. year totalled $14,408,688, as compared with $8,627 660. in 1917.

In the un-| bounded prosperity engendered by | the feverish economic conditions of | the war, Canada has created for her | self a champagne thirst--she way | soon find herself with only a beer in- come. i In the November monthly commer- | cial letter of the Bank of Commerce | the statement is made: "The coming of peace will not justify any relaxa- | tion in our efforts to increase the thrift and economy of the nation." But have we, up to date, any thrift | to increase? To one who has re-| turned after long months overseas, | an exile which enabled him to see real thrift and economy, the answer! seems decidedly in the negative, For' instance, motor cars are useful and | Frecessary things, but far too many of} our people indulge in them who are | financially iniprudent in doing so, | and many 'buy expensive cars who! might fairly*afford cheaper cars. Here is a case in point. On one, of the farms in the less prosperous parts of Ontario, a visitor noticed a garage. 'I see you have a car," he said to the farmer, "Yes," was the reply. - 'Is it a Ford?" was the next remark, and the farmer said: "No, | we had a Ford, but It shook us up| to6 much, so we got a better one." | And there is still talk of thrift in! this country, Nor, in the matter of | over-motoring, are the city people, to} ine sale closed. | sold by | Mrs. B, Fin | pects to arrive tn Kingston conomy daily expendit The ladi ganized, for pris Belgian afOor liéf, and for a dozen other worthy | chjects: let organize the biggest Ome ment of ext the discourage- it to but endowed with » in dress h of them is indeed enter fhe lists we feel they ¢ sufficient patgiotis make acrifice, once they re- their duty to dp so. 7 ), not only the Min- all their men call them fashion, sure to even the supreme alize that And when t dc ister of Finalc folk, will rise blessed but up and ST.

The hall was decorated in patriotic colors and ferns, and had a very attractive ap- pearance. Mrs, (G. A. Robinson, president, received the visitors. At the door was Miss Badley There were many tables loaded! with vars ious articles, both useful and orna- mental, and every article sold before The tea tables were presided over by Mrs, R. J.

But extravagant dressing is one of the most flagrant abuses of the time. In great areas of Hurope people are perishing with the cold, because they have not garments to protect thems- selves properly, whilst here, in mad- cap Canada, we see our fashionahle girls wearing their expensive furs in the summer time or the early fall. Nor does the abuse stop there. In our mothers' times, and later, when a woman bought a fine fur coat, she would wear it season after season without alteration, and be considered well dressedfi. Now she must have it cut down one year, eut up the next, reduced the following, 'increased thereafter, bélted, unbelted, trimmed, untrimmed, and so on. We have known brave women, and we are not laughing at them, who have sent their sons to the front, but who have not the courage to walk the street, let alone run the gauntlet of some so- cial function, unless their fur wrap is cut in the extreme of the sedson's fashion.
