A pipe seems cheaper than cigar- ettes, but think of the extra years you will live to smoke. If a good citizen waits until he has been married fifty years, he may get his name in the papers. Pedestrians have rights streets, of course, but they should groclaim them from the sidewalk. Wealth may be a disease, as a statesman says. We know a man who took it and was confined for |°'!

BIBLE THOUGAT FOR TO-DAY GOD'S REQUIREMENTS: P"\ --What doth the Lord thy id require of thee, but to fear the ord thy God, to walk in His ways, d to love Him, and to serve the d thy God with all thy heart and all thy soul?--Deunteronomy 12. oo | Clarke who, as councillor, has won in the | THE ELECTION IN FRONTENAC. | Saturday's U. F. O. convention at {which G. A. B. Clarke, reeve of {Kingston township, was nominated to contest the riding of Frontenac, was a highly successful one and' | gives promise of a sweep for Mr. Clarke. Considered in its representa- tive character, no candidate could wish anything more. There were {present 115 official delegates, or one ! for every twenty families which, ! averaged at five members, gives 2 convention representing 11,590 el- ectors. Of the same basis the ballots | cast for Mr. Clarke represent 7.000 | and the action of the remainder in pledging him their support removes from the contest all elements of speculation, and his election by a | substantial majority is a practical | 'certainty. | There is no division observable in | the ranks of the Frontenac farmers. The members of the splendid or- | ganization that elected W. §. Reed | [to the dominion parliament were all present, and they are all behind Mr. |a warm place in the esteem of his own township by his industry, busi- [ness ability and integrity. He is, moreover, a man who studies public | questions, and who is able to pres- ent any case entrusted to him with [telling arguments. He will be an im- [portant addition to the Ontario leg- | islature. He has given splendid ser- {vice while in the county council, and {he can be depended upon to carry [lwo the legislature the same stud- | fed consideration, the same thor- { {oughness and adherence to the high- | |est principles always characteristic | {of him. | | | ! { ---- ONCE AGAIN. Now that the annual spring clean- ing-up season is here, the Whig once {more desires to draw attention to [the disgraceful condition of the low- | er harbor. Dozens of the hulls of old | {and discarded vessels, some below | land some above water, are not only |@ menace to navigation in this dis- (trict, but they oonstitute an eye- [sore to every citizen and visitor. With the opening of the automobile | |tourist season, thousands of peo- | [ple will cross the La Salle Cause- | | way each day, and every one of them | | will be forced to gaze upon the dere- licts that are stranded on the north- | | | | | { | | not a pretty sight. It does not reflect jeredit on the city. It does not mark | this as an advanced and progressive | community. Time and again the Whig has called attention to the unfavorable opinion that visitors must necessari- iy entertain of this city when they view our marine graveyard. Frank- ly, it is a disgrace to Kingston. The | provement of the harbor should be the joint endeavor of the board of trade and the city council. The auto- mobile club, which has been doing some things worth while for the >#31y, might well take up this matter in the hope that ultimately visiting autoists might not have inflicted on their vision such. a glaring example of civic indifference. | | | FOR THE FULLER LIFE, | Interest in physical education is | growing. All will agree that this at- | tention to hygiene and physical training is an excellent thing. But it seems odd that so many should lay stress on physical culture mere- ly as a means of prolonging life. The value of physical education in extending life 1s, after all, only in- cidental. Its real merit is in making iife worth living. A general extens- ion 'of the period of life is of inter- est mainly to the actuary. More ap- pealing to the average man or Wo- man is the new zest in life that comes from physical training and health culture. It {s less the desire to live longer than to live mora fully that is increasing the ranks of the phyeical culturists. | ual to save himself from unnecessary physical effort. Many an inventor, who has a reputation for indust Y, may have had only a commendable kind of laziness. PRESS COMMENT Ferguson's Timber Record.

Barton, M.D, What About The Append:x That little appendage attached to | the large intestine within a few, inches of its junction with the small- er intestine, has been the cause of a lot of speculation. { Even physicians are unable to tell | | either its present, or event ts past | ble to photograph use. i And yet an inflammation of that | little sack which is two or three | inches long, and about as wide| through as a lead pencil, has been | the cause of many deaths! | There can be no question but that thousands of deaths in past years | from "Inflammation of the bowels" | were due really to an inflammation of the appendix. | Now if you have had repeated at- | tacks or even have had one attack | your physician has advised you to| have the appendix removed. before you have another attack. That some people recover ana . . {there are open mouths --Sam Hil, | some die when this organ is inflam- | ed is the cause of wonderment many. i The reason is simple, because there | are really two forms of inflammu- tion. First, there is the ordinary catarrhal form which irritates the appendix, just as an ordinary cold | There is some pain, temperature ang pulse | of course, but it is not serious and | the patient recovers. Then there is the severe form where the exciting cause actually causes the formation of pus. Now what causes appendicitis? I really can't tell you, but I do to} | | formation of gas. There have been cases without this history, but they | are few indeed. | Some. twenty years ago one of the | Younger men in the profession call- | ed attention to the frequency of the | gas sympton, and suggested that the damming back of-the gas actually blew up the appendix just as a toy balloon is blown up. Thus tae opening into the appendix being en- | larged irritating substanies in fin-| testine went into the appendix and | cut again often scraping its surface | and setting up the irritation. The only lesson from the above is that the intestine should be kept of gas due often to incomplete chew- ing or improper foods should be avoided. Canadian Questions and Answers Q---Where are the Haida Indians in Canada? A--The Haida Indians of Canada are centered around Prince Rupert the Pacific. They are among the and the Queen Charlotte Islands in! most intelligent and of purest cul- ture along the Coast. They are very artistic and their handiwork is in great demand. | A hearty appetite, a perfect diges- tion, a 100 per cent. efficient liver, a glear brain and a general physical exhilaration--given these as the re- ward of physical culture, no one worries much about the problem of life extension. . ------ GIVE THE LAZY MAN HIS DUE, Perhaps the world has not given the lazy man the credit he deserves for the progress that has been made toward the ideal life. When the lazy man is considered dispassionately, it is seen that some important inven- tions are the result of his disinclina- tion to work. For example, there is the riding cultivator, which is said to be the product of the Ingenuity of a man who was sure that his legs were never intended to drag after a hand implement. Not only does the farm- er ride in cultivating now, but he gets much more cultivating dona, There is not much to be said for the man who refuses to do any work at aH, but the man who is just lazy en- ough to do his work in the easiest way has been able to hit upon many ideas that have added to the sum total of human efficiency.
