As the newspaper man looks over exchanges coming from various parts of the country, he is impressed with the great use that is being made of advertising. The advertising space used in newspapers has greatly in- creased. Take the big city daflies,«for in- stance. If you took the newspaper which before the war used to run am average of about 16 pages, 'the chances are that that paper will be running to-day from 24 pages to 32, The enlargement fs not primarily due to the use of more news, though the space given to reading matter has increased. The big ghare of the increase is due to advertising. It is interesting to see how many concerns and interests there are that are taking big ads of a half page or full page, or two pages, that must be very expeasive. The trained eye : looks over these notices and it can guess fairly near what was paid for them. In the majority of the cases appearances indicate that the news- paper was running its advertise- ments on a strictly proportionate schedule, in which the interest of both the large and the small adver- tiser were fairly balanced, and In which cases the big advertiser must pay a high price for his big splurge. The fact that so many concerns are willing to put up the money for this big display shows how thorough- ly standardized advertising has be- come, and how much it is depended upon for results by those who use it persistently and with judgment. Fortunes are being made every day through advertising, and by this means a multitude of business men are rising out of small and inferior positions into leadership in the busi- ness community. .. THE TYRANNY OF YOUTH, . The overestimate of youth is a phase of weakness. The disposition to lament its pass- ing is an evidence that one has not found the seoret of a happy life. Youth is the time of enthusiasms, bright hopes and hot desires. The tendency of the immature 'mind is to consider these things the best part of existence, If we are fortunate enough to ac- quire any wisdom as we grow older we find that contentment does not lodge in these things, but is a prize to be gained by the normal use of our will, our intelligence and our skill in self-mastery. -The sentiment which erops out so often in poetry and in novels that the joy of life's morning ig/All that's worth while is closely akin to cynic ism. For it leads to cynicism and to de- spair when the early period is once past. The impression you get from the average novel is that the interesting | part of life is over when the young | people are married and done for. As al matter of fact, the best part of life ought to be after fifty. We begin life as young animals. We ought to wind it np as great spirits. And age is better than youth, precisely as the iife of the spirit is better than the life of the flesh; precisely as an intelligent hu- man being ought to be happier than an unthinking animal. ~The average family of to-day is dominated by the children. This is bad for them and for It makes them in- tolerant, _selfish and disagreeable. And it reduces their parents to a state of peonage.

It would be poetic: justice were the United States to follow our example ext summer and claim, from the comfortable gondolas of their airship, all those northern islands to which we lay vague but tangible claim. THE SMALL CITY. The Kingston Kiwanis Club was | fortunate in having an address on Monday evening from Professor B.| K. Sandwell, of Queen's University English Department, on "The Ad- vantages of Small Cities." The remarks of Professor Sand- well on that occasion are well worth | studying. In the main idea his ad-| dress was correct and well-founded, | but there aro a few little sidelights | which might be profitably discussed. | One of the statements of the | speaker was to the effect that the | world's greatest achievements were | | conceived and sometimes executed in i | comparatively small communities. | He cited London, of Shakespeare's | time; Athens, in the time of Pericles; | Geneva, in Calvin's time; Jerusalem, | the birth-place of the Christ.an re- ligion; Oberammergau, the home of the Passion Play. Of these, if we are not mistaken, Oberammergau is thq only one which fits the idea. London, although only | 100,000 to 120,000 in the time of Shakespeare, was nevertheless one of the large cities of the then civiliz- ed world. Athens, in the time of Pericles, was one of the leading cities of those great states along the Medi- terranean., Geneva, while probably not a large city in population, was still the leading city of its country, as looked upon by the natives as we look upon Montreal or Torouto. Jerusalem was the principal city of Palestine, the headquarters of the governments of the district and the | central place into which the people) were called for the census. Ober-! ammergau is the only one that ap- plies ,and the achievement of Ober- ammergau, as the speaker said, has| been more of a spiritual nature than anything else. If Professor Sandwell could talk to thousands of small cities in a short time he would probably ac- complish "a. great deal of good for his reasoning on the subject is sound, and from his stand-point the city of medium size is a much more de- sirable place. But, unfortunately, we run into the old principle that standing still eventually means sliding backward. If we do not strive to becdme greater we gradually lose that "which we have already achieved, The nature of man ig not to be satisfied with his present lot, not to accept. things as he finds them and merely try to make them beautiful and pleasing. He is constantly striving for that which he has not and it is very rare indeed to find a man who says, "I am content." Of course, r Sandwell's object was not to discourage. efforts towards growth, nor to set down his ideas as final. He merely gave his opinions as he viewed the subject dnd they were certainly worth hear- ing. But to have his words heeded would be to change humad nature. | HIGHER EDUCATION. A western professor tells of a stu- dent, "twenty years old who in five years had managed to get through a reputable high school, was prepos- sessing in appearace and manners, showing that hig home environment was above the ordinary, wore good clothes, drove competently his own high-powered automobile and was promptly initiated into one of his fraternities," yet could not do an- There are too many persons in the | world who would like to censor op-| inion that is in conflict with their own to make it safe for legislatures to undertake the regulatjon.of liter- ature, betweea covers, In the press | or on the stage.--New York Tribune. | British Foreign Policy. The potential influence of Grea: Britain is enormous, and clear and firm action on the part of any Brite ish Government would certainly ral- ly many waverers to"our side. A de. | termined and far-sighted policy, con-: sistently pursued, would check those influences that are working against us in France, and, by restoring the resppct of the average Frenchman for Great Britain, woula provide al new basis for friendship and so serve | the best interests of France herself. We cannot afford to be absent from Europe or to permit our rights and interests to be ignored. The first task of any British Government now is to restore British prestige in Europe and to do its utmost to prevent those very serjous dangers into which we are drifting.---Loandon Times.

A man consulted his physician one day and after describing his symptoms he said, "Have I got rhen- matism?" The physician said, "Yes, I be- {lieve you can call it that." "Well, that means that I'll have to do without meat until I get bet- ter. Isn't that so?" "No!"™ replied the physician," but it does mean that I'l have to look you over and try to find the cause, because there is a cause always." Accordingly he began in a syste- matic manner to go over the pa- tient from head to foot. First the mouth was examined, and the condition of teeth, gums, and tonsils were noted. Everything looked normal, and an X-ray of the teeth a month before by his dentist had been negative. There was no obstruction in the nose, nor was there any history of pain above the eyes or in the cheeks, where the caverns connect- ing with the nose are located. There were no symptoms about the stomach that would suggest can- cer or ulcgr. : The urine was also examined and showed nothing abnormal The physician was not' discourag- ed, however, ¥ Turning to the patient, he saM, "We find that the clearing up of abnormal conditions in the teeth, gums, tonsils and nose, clears up many cases of rheumatism, but one of the main causes I haven't touch- ed on yet "Are you constipated?" "Yes!" answered the patient. "I notice also that you are allow- ing your body to sag."

An Addition to the Oatechism. An enterprising superintendent was engaged one Sunday in catechiz- Ing the Sunday school pupils, varying the usual method by beginning at the end of the catechism. After asking what were the pre- requisites for the Holy Communion and confirmation, and receiving sat- iafactory replies, he asked: "And now, boys, tell me what must precede baptism?" ?

They should have their full portion of love, appreciation and understand- ing. But at the same time they should be made to realize that life is not a matter of having a good | time, J It is a matter of self-mastery, of honor and of heroism. Such qualities alone bring permanent happiness. And such qualities do not grow in a soil of continual indulgence. It is not a choice between whether one shall be happy when he is old or when he is young. It is rather an intelligent taking up of the problem how 50 to govern the pleasures of all dur days with temperance as to make oue's whole life worth while. EXIT MR.
