The mayor and aldermen do not object to paying what the city is lable for, but they do object to being saddled with the cost of maintaining children Sonaieineltrion. The suggestion of Ald: O'Connor that the council should have a char- ity committee to keep in close touch with the Children's Aid Society and the various charitable institutions of Kingston is one that should meet with approval. Such a committee would guard the city's interests and prevent further squabbling what should be paid to the homes. The civié authorities and the man- agements of the homes should work together, helping one another, and it the institutions find it impossible to carry on without the usual char rector | Itable grants in addition to per diem charges for Children's Aid wards, Kingston's municipal representatives will no doubt be big enough to give the institutions a helping hand from the civie exchequer. A charity committee 'of council would also need to keep a close tab on the indigent list of the two local Kingston, because it has these splendid institutions, should pay the cost of maintaining the sick poor from other municipalities. A num- ber of these always manage to find their way into the Kingston hospi- tals. It is no longer possible for them to gain entrance into the city's Home for the 'Aged, as this institu- tion takes care only of.the friendiess | aged from Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox and Addington, the latter county councils paying a certain amount a week for the keep of their poor. The city council of 1924 will have the way paved for a more satis: factory condition of affairs because of the "conflicts" that occurred dur- ing the past few months between the mayor and his. finance comxziliiee and the managements of the chil- dren's homes. "It will be noted that the ladies have won out by making an appeal that the city fathers could not turn aside. It was not a demand as at first, but an "8.0.8." call for help. "OLD AT 40" THE EXCEPTION. When Dr. M. Carey Thomas said "the 'world's affairs would be man- aged by men not more than forty years old" he erred but in one res- pect. He was twenty years behind the times. One need but look around to find a profusion of living contradictions of the assertion of Dr, Thomas. In fact, many will find more basis for such a statement as "the world's affairs should be man- aged by men more than forty years old" than the "under forty" service age of Dr. Thomas. Twenty years ago the average span of life was calculated at less than forty years and men usually were well established in success or failure, intelligence or ignorance, service or disservice before they were thirty-six years old. At the age of sixty years men were then called "old" and "unfit for service," with of course the exception prov- ing the rule here as elsewhere. Today the average span of life is nearing the sixty years mark and men and women work to attain suc- cess by the time they are forty. In the performante of big things, the civilized world is now dependent upon the man from forty to sixty years old. It is no longer the prac- tice to retire at fifty and the men still in the harness at 75 and even 85 is not an unusual figure. Many factors enter into this trans- formation. Humanity is showing more concern for its health, this prolonging life. Human bodies are no longer wrecked by premature la- bor. 'More years of training and education are deferring the time when men and women launch out into life, with the consequence that they do not reach the height of mer- tal powers until later in life and their minds and bodies are saved from early decay. The time doesn't seem far off when man shall be able to work up to the four score mark and then become "old." A ---- CANADIAN PACIFIO STOCK, The latest figures issued on the subject show that 72 per cent. of Canadian Pacific Railway common stock Is held in the British Empire, 20 per cent. being in Canada, 49 per cent. in Great Britain and 3 per cent in other British possessions, the remainder being held, 23 per cent, in the United States and about five per cent. in Continental Europe. The figures presented are of par- ticular interest when compared with those of previous years. They show, for indtance, that since 1921 there has been a steady increase in British holdings of this stock out- side of Canada, thus indicating an in other parts of the Empire towards Canadas and this leading Canadian Institution. More interesting still, they show over a long per ot marked and steady growth J : {nsession the percentage of Canadian | was 9.75, and from this | over' hospitals, for there is no reason why | THE able to care for children made wards growth until today Canadian hold- |e | ings total 20.47 per cent. | The latter figuressare of more i than usual interest in that they may { be taken as symptomatic of Cana- fdtas conditions over the period of | years covered.

The truth of.the 'matter is the old saying "Life depends upon the liver" is so terribly true that you have never realized it. As I've told you 80 often, the real life of your body depends upon the life stream, the blood, Now there are so many quarts of blood circulating around in you, the amount depending of course, upon the size of your body. Every part of your body is bathed in it. s At any given time there is a cer- tain quantity in the heart itself, a certain quantity in the lungs, and in all the blood vessels carrying the blood about the body. It is estimated that one quarter of the entire supply is in the heart, lungs, and the vessels. And yet at that very time 'also, the liver, that one organ, has just as much blood in it as the heart; lungs, and vessels have all put together. You know what the liver has to do. It has to take all the starches--that is vegetables,--bread,--and sugars, and turn them into a special kind of sugar for use in the body. It not only manufactures this sugar, but it stores it up, so that if at any time you happen to eat less vege, tables than your system requires, this stored up sugar is passed out into the blood and carried to all the needy parts. And also the liver manufactures the bile which is a most wonderful Juice. You will remember that it breaks up the fats so (hat the sys- tem can absorb it. It also takes care of most of the harmful materia' that gets into our stomach. It ac- tually renders it harmless, And finally the bile as it passes into the intestine actually makes the intestine move its contents along better. Some manufacturers sell bile salts as purgatives. So you see why I talk about the liver so much. How important it is that it gets shaken up a bit. That's why the lungs actually strike it through the diaphragm every time you breathe. That's why also that you are ad- vised so often to bend that body of yours from side to side so as to squeese the liver and thus help the circulation in it. > So now you see that if one quar- ter of all your blood is in the liver, | and is working properly, such good results in health. You can likewise see that if that same large quantity is working very very slowly in them, you also get results. But how different. It's worth think- ing about, fsn't it? How He Got His Name Many ministers could, from per- sonal experience, tell of strange names bestowed upon infants * at their baptism, but few could equal the following etory recently told by the Bishop of Sodor and Man. A mother who was on the lookout for a good name for her child saw on the door of a building the word **Nosmo."" It attracted her, and she decided that she would adopt it. Some time later, passing the same building, she saw the name "King" on another door. She thought the two would sound well 'together, and so the boy was baptised "Nos- mo King Smith." On her way home from the church where the baptism had taken place, she passed the building again. The two doors on which she had seen the names were now clased together and what she read was not "Nosmo King," but "No Smoking." A Dainty Summer Salad.

An New Zealand or Australia kdows | how it is' with rabbits when the en- | | | vironment is right; or with Watersd cress, Op, with thistles. i | One of the ideas in recent years | {has found its emnvironment and is | | showing even the rabbits what real | | speed 1s, is service. Business men | are "writing about service--not of this miovement may be ascribed | Merely service in their own especial |, | lines of trade and manufacture, . | even of business as a whole--but of | social service that means wellfare | work for all the inhabitants of the | world, one and three-quarters bil- | lions of human beings. i One of the "merchant princes" of ! { to-day says business itself cannot ! | succeed unless it takes society along with it. Social progress and busi- ness development must go hand in hand, or night will come. 1 As the idea of service is broaden- {ing and deepening, it is becoming | | more intelligent. This is natural j for "practice makes perfect" and | i there has been much practice going | | on during the recent decades, The old idea of the rich still obtains with such families as the Astors, and the Rothchilds, one of whom recent- | ly committed suicide and left 5,000 | different kind of live fleas to the British Museum, but it {s commoner and commoner each year to hear of immense gifts for the benefit of all peoples, rather than for a limited class--or for a family. Building up a family is going out of vogue. Bullding up ideas comes in its stead. "Father" of Orphan Boys. An instance of building up for an idea is before the public at presént. i It concerns a $60,000,000 chocolate | business which the creator has given | |to "his boys." These boys are or- | | phans who come to the school that | | Milton 8. Hershey has founded in a | little Pennsylvania town, where he | | was born 66 years ago, and which is | now entirely enveloped in chocolate | {and the homes of those who manu- | acture it. Twenty years ago, this town was a hamlet, where a few farmers cul- tivated the hillsides. There was a | schoolhouse for eighteen children. | | It is there now--right on the lawn in | front of Mr. Hershey's home. He | has more millions of dollars than he had cents then, but never more millions than he had sense. Dollars did not deaden him, nor dim his vision. His business has engulfed the hamlet in which he was born, but it has not swallowed him. He is right on top, and in evidence every day. He has organized this. business so that it can continue on through the ages without his direction, growing | all the times It has grown to its present size "by itself" the creator | declares. At any rate, it has grown | without advertising. Mr. Hershey | has not spent a dollar to advertise | his chocolate bars. "People eat the | bars and buy more; they tell their friends and- the friends buy bars. The bars do the advertising. All we do is to make the bars for the people to buy." Advertising agencies, schools that make the teaching of the "Art of Advertising' their business, will hardly approve the Hershey metnod, but a business in a tiny farming community only a score of years ago | and now shows an annual profit of | more than four million dollars, is a fact that argument will not easily | dispose of. It is an old adage "good wine needs no bush" carried to the nth power. Good chocolate does not need advertising more than "'once upon a time" good wine did, at least so Mr. Hershey believes. The assured fact that Mr. Her- shey was a boy himself, and as it happens in the very calendar days during which Pope Pius XI was sim- flarly occupied, both being born in 1857, is the reason that he thinks his sixty million dollar thoughts about boys now. He believes that' boys need and want, where girls usually have. Generally speaking girls find Homes readily. They are such useful iittle people. They are helpful round the house. A girl is a treasure where a boy is a nuisance. No one wibhes to take in = boy. The more of a regular, honest-to-goodness boy. he is, the more of a nuisance. Consequently, to be a boy, and without parents, is no demand. There is no market. _. This is sad. It is also dangerous A boy without parents is a menace. He grows up all wrong and costs society mueh money. Society has as yet insufficient intelligence, and so does not e care of the young- ster at a time when the taking care menace has grown up into an ac- tual and active curse. I Practical Groundings.
