But perhaps it all hap- | pened without Methuselah knowing | anything about it, until it was all | over. . { Methuselah had an illustrious | grandson by the name of Noah--the | patriarch who built and lived in the | ark. | One day of Noah's life during his | experience in the ark was worth all of Methuselah's 969 commonplace years. '"And he died." Here's an epitaph that they might chisel on many a man's tombstone to tell the story of his whole life. "Born----------, Died hie That's all. It isn't the number of years that a man puts in above ground that determines how much he has lived. It is said of God: "A thousand years are &s a day in Thy sight, and as a watch in the night." The ability to crowd into brief spaces of time the life-long exper- a sign of real greatness ness, A famous man wrote an editorial for his paper the other day, in which he said that the "big man" is never hurried, never "bully," and that he doesn't really work more than four hours a day. | He has lots of time to see people, | to play golf, and to spend his evening { with his family, he added. | Then I thought of Edison and | some other fairly '"'big" men, who | work fourteen hours a day, who {| never play golf, and who are rarely | at home. And they seem to need | all the time they can get to put across the great plane upon which they are working. . It isn't at all likely that the men who need to work only four hours | a day on their present jobs always had -so much leisure time--they probably worked fourteen hours a day at first--and that's why they need to work only four hours today. Anyway, to be really big and suc- cessful isn't at all a question of the number of hours a man works--it's how he regulates his working-time and what he does with it. » . > What is a day's work? To some it is the completing of a task---so many bricks laid, so many shoes made, so many articles manu- factured. To others it means a cer- tain number of hours employed-- eight, ten, twelve In occupations in whicl# one's efficiency cannot be de- termined by a mathematical process. In most cases it actually means that the thought and ingenuity of a century, resulting in ideas and de- vices which enable one to produce a thousandfold more or better, have been concent ~d into a single work day, so that .ne day really stands for a socialized effort, which has be- come possible only because others in the past have contributed their share to our day's work. To these we owe a debt of gratitude. How may we repay these pioneers who blazed the way for us, making our lives more human and more com- fortable, making our tasks lighter and less irksome? We cannot bring them from their graves, nor even thank them for the sacrifice of by- gone days. But there is a way in which we may pay tlie debt we owe them---we have the privilege of building upon the foundation laid by our forefathers, so that other mil- lions may be blessed because of our labors. We may put to future gener- ations what we owe those in the past. This is the motive which prompts the noblest endeavor. And the her- oes of our present-day industrial life are not those whose day's work is done simply so that they, themselves, may live, but those who plan and work so that others still unborn may reap where they have not sown, may garner where they have not strewn. One may become a parasite even though one may work for himself. In a sense, every man is a parasite, who is willing to receive the bene- fits which have accrued as the result of "others' labors, without contribut- ing his share to the common good. ® . * This morning you jumped out of bed 15 minutes before breakfast, rushed to the train or the trolley 15 minutes after you began yonr break- fast and you've been rushing ever since, 2 There hasn't been a single minute during the day when you quietly col- lected your thoughts--you've been too busy collecting money--or mak- ing it some other way.

Many a cheek and brow cast in the mould of beauty have been sadly de- faced, their attractiveness lost, and the possessor of the "pimply face' rendered unhappy for years. { Their presence is a source of em- barrassment to those afflicted as well as pain and regret to their friends. There is an effectual remedy for these facial defects and that is Bur- dock Blood Bitters, the old reliable medicine that has been on the market for over 40 years. It drives out all the impurities from the blood, and leaves the com- plexion clear and healthy. Mrs. James Williams, Waterford, Ont., writes: --*My face was covered with pimples for nearly a year. I used different kinds of remedies to get rid of them and finally thought there was no relief. A friend drop- ped in one day and told me I should try Burdock Blood Bitters. I did so and used three bottles, and found the pimples were all disappearing from my face, and now I have a clear { complexion again." | B. B. B. is manufactured only by | the T.

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kid- | ney trouble, because we eat too much | and all our food is rich. Our blood |is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become slug- gish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, blad- der weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nesvous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam- ous salts is made from the adld of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.

"I regret, however," the president continued, "that a statement by a member has been mis- construed by the worthy chairman of the utilities. I think the member who made it did it in the way of a joke and was not really serious about it." The member in question confirmed the president's remark, adding that he was not of a serious temperament. "No, you are certainly a rattle- |brained old lad," said the doctor, patting his comrade- con the head, "but sometimes you manage to say something truthful." "Did you hear about the jury up | the customs official. 'Well it seems that this jury brought in its verdict at 7.40. Now some of its members are kicking that they did not confer another half hour, as they claim that if they had deliberated until after eight o'clock they would have been entitled to another day's pay, for even jurymen are not required to work long hours without compensa- tion." "Well that was 4 good one on | Pete and the other boys," remarked Hank. "But now they might try and continue living until 1925, for there is. some religious sect in Kingston which clings to the belief that if you are alive when 1925 is rung in, you will never die." "Well," said the doctor, "I don't put any faith in that theory. an end. They have ing for years and years and they do not seem to strike the time by a long shot. That kind of thing is done in order to excite people. It's just a money-making scheme, so [ would not that Hydro auditor seriously," said the Bath Road resident. "Hughie will knock the spots off that fellow who vic officials are not up to the mark. I am. told that some of these Hydro guys are descendants of Huns, and that their doctrine is to put your foot on the people's necks and hold it there. Will you tell me, Mr. Presi- dent, why they stand fqr these Ger- mans up in Toronto. The Hydro ap- pears to have been infested with them." "Just leave it to Hughie," replied the president. "When he starts after you he'll hang on like a bulldog, so watch for fireworks." "It would be as sorry a day for him as for the fellow who stole the rooster of the Gananoque Reporter editor should he be caught," chip- ped in the medical student. "Down our way, editors own hens, but I don't hear of any Kingston editor who can qualify for U.F.0. member- ship." "Speaking of the U.F.0O.," said the doctor, '"'they tell me that the heels and toes of the farmers' shoes wear out very quickly now owing to being continually used in practising the U. F.O. sign. However that is good for the shoemakers."" The president drew the attention of the smokers to the venerable clergyman who was improving his time attending the business college and learning the principles of busi- ness. He wondered if the college teaches the Hydro system of keeping 'books, "How can young people be expect ed to so improve their time when a corporal's guard could not be secur- ed to attend free night classes offer- ed by the school board a few years ago. Nowadays young people do not want to improve their time. It's a hot old time they want, and they gen- erally get it," was the view express- ed by the old printer. Then the conversation switched off to those people who with so little means at their disposal are such a blessing to the community. "I know some of them," said the president as he puffed serenely at his pipe. "They are doing good every- where they go, helping the poor and visiting the sick, and yet their names never appear in the newspapers. Just compare them with those in our city who have much and yet give nothing to anything, those people who think only of themselves and live for them- selves." y "That type of person could not be called a tight-wad," said the cus- toms official, "for they spend all right, but they spend only on them- selves." You could even excuse an employer who docked his employees a half day's pay when they took an afternoon off to attend his wife's funeral---he's in a class by himself, because he might even give a sub- scription to the church. But the self- centred wealthy class are of no bene- fit to any community." "0 let us talk of something pleas- ant," put ia the old printer. : "Yes they say. that the ladies' knee skirt has got to go," remarked the merchant, "but perhaps it will go higher, although it really should come lower if it is going to follow the prices." ?
