The Canadian Cigar and Tobacco Journal, in a recent editorial, attacks the anti-tobacco propaganda and the campaigns being carried on in the interests of fake cures. It also makes reference to newspapers publishing the advertisements of these fake cures in very scatliing terms. Al-| though the Tobacco Journal may feel justified in criticising these papers it should be remembered that a news- paper is an advertising medium which may be used by anyone who is willing- to pay for space, provided that the advertising is of a res- pectable and business-like nature. A newspaper may advertise edible com- modities which will eventually give their users a bad attack of indi- gestion. Is that any reason wliy the same paper should not de at liberty to advertise a medicine which re- lieves indigestion ? Of course the medicine may not be all that is claimed for it, but how is the paper to know that ? : On the other thing there is such a thing as a standard of advertising which most newspapers conform to. This standard is adhered to faithfully by all self-respecting papers. The point is, each newspaper may to a certain extent interpret this standard itself. As a matter of fact this paper does not accept any advertising from supposed cures for the tobacco, drink habit,or other drug-forming habits. There are very few of them, if any, worthy of attention. Most of them are a menace to the good health of anyone simple enough to buy them, Impressionable women with over- zealoug aims for the abolition of everything which makes life a little more enjoyable for their husbands contrive to persuade themselves that they are doing themeelves and their husbands a service by using the "put- it-in-his-coffee™ kind of slow poison. Meanwhile the men who are the vic- timg of this foolishness are taking tonics for their nerves, all un- conscious that the cause of their | aliments- is supposed to de curing, them, ' PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE. For the past few years the people of Canada have heen living in an artificial state of prosperity. The tremendous demand. for war com- modities and munitions, with a large percentage of our man power on service overseas, placed a premium on labor. Salaries soared to unheard- of figures. The war ended, it was discovered that there was no supply of thes essentials of normal, peace- time living to meet the demand. The premium on labor became greater; wages went even higher, and a wave of prosperity swept over the country. Profits reached exorbitant figures wthout any equivalent effort on the part of the capitalists. Everyone had money to burn, and it has been burnt in no uncertain fashton. Money has been plentiful, and it has been spent "lberally in the pursuit of pleasure, fashion and excitement. In Spite of appeals for economy, spend. ing has been lavish. But this cannot go on forever. In- comes have not- grown because of added effort and greater production, They have simply swollen because of unnatural conditions, and some day the bubble is going to burst, To-day there is an. unprecedented demand for brawn and brains in this country, The market for these things is at its highest point. But we are in a period Of transition. This is true of to-day | --but what of to-merrow ?

The price of labor is the great- est factor in the cost of production, and if production cogts are to be cut, wages must be cut to correspond. The pay envelope is fat to-day. It will be thinmer to-morrow. The ous to-day and are spending lavishly. What of to-morrow, when money is not so plentiful? Every sane man and woman to-day will devote his or her energies to preparing for the future. Economy is essential, not because of our national need, but be- cause of the individual need of our people in the future. The man who foresees conditons and saves now is the man who will be on easy. street when the change comes. This is not a pesaimist's argument, but simply a plain statement of what the future assuredly holds. - The wise man is he who prepares for the future, |" PUBLIC OPINION Not ; (Buffalo Courier) od New Jersey reports the sdle of a cow for $7,800.

Rather One-Sided. {Brantford Expositor) Canadian newspapers continue fo suspend while newsprint manufac- tured from the crown pulp lands is shipped at huge prices across the border, where the pulp lands are practically exhausted.

(Buffalo Courier) An Ottawa dispatch says the Dom- inion authorities feel that Canada and the United Statés should work out some friendly policy for the exchange of raw materials, whereby Canada would get coal; etc., and the United States pulpwood, timber, nickel, etc. Neither side could gain anything in ils long run by a policy of retalia- on: Bt e---------------- (Brantford Expositor) The Buffalo News in big head- lines says 'direct diplomatic rela- tions between U.

The British government has absolutely nothing to do with Canadian regula- tion requiring that pulp wood cut from crown lands be manufactured into paper in Canada. Comads-Exst md Wont Dominion Happenings of Other i Days. The Jesuit * on It was on the twelfth of March, 1613, that the Jesuit "Mayflower" -- "| the little ship "Jonas" sailed from Honfleur for the new world. She carried a crew and passenger list of 48 sailors and colonists including two goats and was abundantly stored with all things needful for the pious mu- nificence of her patrons. The voyage was the result of the unfortunate outcome of troubles that had arisen in the new calomy. Bro- ther Du Thet had made a previous trip to the colony on the Atlantic seaboard and when he returned to France he told a graphic and stirring tale of the religious across ocean. 'Madame de Guerchville and her Jesuits were strong in fa- vor at the court and they possessed the favor of many wealthy members of the chrullan IF was an sasy mater to arrange neces for a voyage of missionary endeavor.

FAMOUS QUOTATIONS AND THEIR ORIGIN HELL 1S PAVED WITH GOOD IN- TENTI A (ONS. 5 Samuel Johnson. who, although great writer, was of the "Roygh and ready" type of Englishman, (1709- 1784) coined this highly expressive phrase as given above, but in so do- ing he merely altered slightly a say- ing that was first used by St. Ber- nard, (French 1019-1153). St. Ber- nard, who was the leading theological | authority of his time, said: "Hell is full of good idtentions and wills." While St. Bernard lived, no one seems to have had the temerity to question the truth of his statement, but a little later we find the rather unusual spectacle of another saint ad- vising his flock to pay no attention to this doctrine. , Many Christians ape pear to have been worried about it, and St. Francis de Sales (French 1567-1622) whose position was fully as high as that of St. Bernard, ad- vises them in one of his letters, as follows: 'Do mot be troubled by St. Ber- nard's saying that hell is full of good intentions and wills." 2 The obvious inference is that St. Francis considered it proper for men to have good intentions, even though they were not always able to act accordingly.
