John McCormack's last contribution was two Irish folk melodies. This month he has gure to the very antipodes of the world of music, by selecting a world song which ranks beside the great songs of Schu- mann and Richard Strauss. He and Edward Schneider have made the English transla- tion between them, and Fritz Kreisler plays to the song an obbligato of strange, sad, al- most supernal beauty. The sadness in the song is not that ofpassive acceptance, but of mystery and wonder and passionate re- bellion against the woes and mysteries of life.

McGowan Manufacturing Co., of this city, He reports the conditions as being very good in the west, so much so that he opened agencies in Winnipeg, Cal- gary and Vancouver, and will use these three places as distributing points for his goods. He obtained or- ders for several million cigars. This will require a large number of cigar | makers to turn out this quantity, in | fact it will insure steady employment | for the entire year of 1921. He has | expressed the wish to have all ex- { rerienced help both in the city and | district to apply immediately and he | is also willing to train help. This | comes as very welcome news for the {city of Kingston at this particular | time. We believe Mr. McGowan is de- | serving and hope that the people of | Kingston will give their support in | helping to secure the necessary help. | Without it, the order will have to Se { completed elsewhere. Sick in Bed: for a Long, Long Time H. POBRAN NOW PRAISES DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS C. Saskatchewan Man Gives the Reason Why Dodd's Kidney Pills Have Be- | come the Standard Canadian Kid-! ney Remedy. Hafford, Sask., Apr. 1st (Special) { --Dodd"s. Kidney Pills have few | more faithful friends in any part of Canada than C. H. Pobran, well known and highly respected here. He gives the reason in a few words that go right to the point. "I was sick in bed for a long time before I used Dodd's Kidney Pills," he says, "and I am healthy now. I am very thankful I used Dodd's Kid- ney Pills." It is friends like Mr. Pobran who have given Dodd's Kidney Pills the reputation which for twenty years has stamped them as Canada's stan- dard kidney remedy. They have been used for all forms of kidney disease such as backache, urinary troubles, dropsy, diabetes, rheumatism and heart disease. They have given sat- isfaction. If you haven't tried Dodd's Kidney Pills ask your neighbors about them.

From Lady Martin Harvey comes a reply-to the recent criticisms made by British nurses-and local nursing organizations in connection with the "To question the integrity of the accounts of the College of Nursing,' | says Lady Harvey in a letter to the press, * is to directly question the integrity of the Br.tish Red Cross Society: It is a deep insult to myself and Sir John Harvey's business manager, Mr, Frank R. O'Neill, M. | A. Oxon, who is my treasarer. Mr. O'Neill has been trea urer for our!

"With regard to our business methods over here," says Lady Har- vey, 'I would like to point out to the public that for every appeal I make in the theatre the thea're manager receives a receipt for the sum col- lected, which is publicly announced by Sir John from the stage signed by Sir Arthur Stanley for Mr_ O'Neill. The cheque is then seit directly to the Nurses' Fund at the Bank of { Montreal, and from 'here to. Sir | Arthur Stanley.

Toronto Globe:--Professor J. L. Morison, of Queen's University, tells | a teachers' gathering that the aver- | age young Canadian of to-day cares | nothing for books. 'Organized amuse- ment, the automobile and the mov- ing-picture shows are challenging the reading of books. The garage has displaced the library-- golf clubs have taken the place of books." A love of books has never been a passion of the average youth in any true that new forms of amusement are occupying the leisure of increas- ing numbers of boys, girls and youths. Motoring and golf are the | recredtions of a minority, and often | pay dividends in health. The mov- ing picture is the pastime of the ma- jority, and if it cannot be made an educational influence it should at least be deprived of its power for evil. Professor Morison is speaking | ¥ 21¥ figuratively when he says the| garage has displaced the library, but | cation tw (he one who drives his fa- ther's motor car and when anything Boes wrong with it sends to a garage and pays no further attention to it until it is ready for use again. If he tries to master the mechanism of | a motor car he is sharpening his fa- culties, and may be led to a study | of mechanical principles which will send him to the library. The trag- edy of so many young people is that they have no mental curiosity of any kind, literary, scientific or mechan- ical. The craze for pleasure at the ex- pense of self-improvement can only' be combated by strengthening the agencies that create and foster a taste for higher things and tend to a more thoughtful outlook on life.
