DREAM AND SUCCEED. Dreams. are made of star dust, we are told, but a better recipe is sug- gestion and imagination. Those who | can look at a brick and see a castle are buiMers of a bigger and better world. "To be serviceable, an imagination must be exercised. Do you want a suggestion? Look about you; a weed becomes an industry. If you want more encouragement turn to the clagsified advertisements and there you will find an ever changing de- partment store full of them. The business manager you to read classified advertisements when you want a job, an automobile or a candelstick, but these things are all at the main entrance of the store, Visit the bargain counters and the upper floors where great treasures are stored; uncensored news of hu- man activities, relative values in parallel columns, heart-throbs and charaoter studies to educate and en- tertain. Best of all, however, is the stuff that keeps dreams alive. Suppose your ambition is to own a farm. The plassified advertisements will remind you of it every day, force you to think of it, and lead you to comcentrate your attention and energy on plans to accomplish success. When your dream has grown from a chance idea to a con- crete possibility you will find the farm itself described among the classified advertisements. There are only three kinds' of dreams: those that are forgotten, those that never change and those that come true. Mount your wishes on thought and effort and they will ride to realizatiom. CIVILIZATION ADVANCES, Comparisons are said to be odious, but if we would know ourselves as a nation we must reflect ourselves in the searching mirror provided by past civilizations and our foreign neighbors. The leader can always learn something from his followers. Modernity is especially interested in the recent archaeological discov- eries in Egypt, China and, Central and South America. Not so much through empty curiosity as through a desire to learn what the past can teach and to gauge the advance of civilization. We are uncoasciously reflecting ourselves in the mummy of King Tut and our institutions in the palace and tomb of the boy Pharaoh. A correspondent in Russia writes that the villages in interior Russia are just awakening to the demands of modern life. He cites instances where electricity has just been "dis- covered" to the villagers and where the theatre is only now being brought to the Russian towns. It is hard for those in urban Capada to believe that electricity and the thea- tre have been unknown to vast areas of Russia because one forgets or does not know that the same condition exists in many parts of this country. Few persons, to be sure, in the do- minion do not Pome in contact with electricity in some of its many forms, but even in the thickly populated East there are still towns which still light their streets and houses with gas. As for the theatre, in this coun- try it was first brought to the small town by the moving picture. Before the introduction of the moving piec- ture there were structures which purported to be theatres in many of the smaller towns, but the show troupes which played in them were of little worth dnd far apart. it is. to the motion picture that rural Can- ada is-turning for the panorama of Canadian life. EDUCATION FOR SAFETY. The report of the Workmen's Com- pensation Board for the first four months of 1924 indicates that there is a greater need than ever before for educational work directed along the line of reducing the mumber of in- continental boundary | {dustrial accidents. | four months of this year, there were 18,710 accidents reported to the board, and a sum of $2,071,058.60 was paid over to the victims of these accidents or their survivors. This money was a dead loss to thesprov- ince of Ontario. It was not the only logs caused by these accidents, for the man who was injured was re- | moved from the productive ranks during the period of his incapacity for labor. There was, therefore, the production loss as Well as the direct loss of money which had to be paid out by the board to compensate him for the time lost from work. Money paid for nothing in cases like this is always a waste, and with the gen- eral demand all over the country for a reduction In. expenditures of all kinds, this appears to offer a good ground of attack towards reducing expenses which should never be in- curred, Rev. Dr. Cody, at a recent meet- ing of the safety league of Canada, which is working in an educational way for the reduction of accidents of all kinds; said that what was needed was "the will to safety." His idea in using that phragee was that both employers and employees should be educated in such a manner that the thought of safety comes to them just ag naturally as any of the operations in which they engage in their daily tgsks, The thought of the safety of em- cases it does. safety of themselves and their fel- low workers should always be upper- most in the minds of all employees, and it is here, apparently, that most educational effort is needed. The man who is thinking safety as he goes about his work takes no risks of accidents, and it has been proven that tMe vast majority of accidents | occur because some person took an | unnecessary risk in order to save a Frew moments of time or a few stepe {in going from one place to another. { Many other accidents occur because | of carelessness in the handling of advises | tools and machinery. The employees | {are too .prome to take chances, and | in many cases the Inevitable happens. | Quite often, it is granted, "nothing happens when a chance is taken, but there is always a once-too-often, and that is the cause of the wastage of productive man power brought about by industrial accidents. The pre- vention of accidents can only be made certain when workers and em- ployers adopt the right mental atti- tude towards their duties, and ac- quire '""the will to safety" which is essential to the reduction of the bur- den. placed upon industry and, in- directly, upon the purchasing public, by the necessity of paying compensa- tion to men engaged in their daily tasks. That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D, Where Has the Small Waist Gone. Watching a moving picture the cther day depicting scenes from the French Revolution, the small wasp like waists of the ladies was quite conspicuous, My companion asked me what had become of the small waists that wo- men had a few years ago. My reply was that the waists were pretty much the same, but the cor. sets were entirely different. The old corset simply manufactur- ed a waist at a certain point and that wag all there was to it. The organs had to accommodate themselves to the fit of the corset. Some organs would be pushed upwards and some downwards. This meant that there would be pressure upwards against the heart and lungs, and pressure downwards against the bladder and generative organs, Now women are looking for more freedom, for more comfort, Have they done away with cor sets? i No! But the corset manufacturer now builds a corset to fit the figure, rather than a corset to which the figure must be fitted. . The corset now used tends to hold the back erect, and to lift up the ab- dominal organs into. their proper position in people who are over- weight, Also the up portion 1s now made larger giving more free- dom to heart and lungs. And still further, the corset now used certainly does not detract from the dppesPancE of the wearer. An important point. Now whilst I'm a great believer in each individual manufacturing her own corset made out of muscle, I have sense enough to know that it-- the muscular corset--will never be in general use in my time. But if you care to try -an experiment per- haps you will be able to do without a corset. Simply bend over and try to touch your toes, 'with knees straight, about twelve times night and morning. You may not be able to reach the floor at first, it ever, but don't bend the knees in any case. Or you may lie on the back, and slowly raise the legs up to almost the right angle with the body, the knees kept straight. Lower legs During the first | slowly. ployees should receive the first con- | sideration of employers, and in most | The thought of the | This should be done about | ten times night and morning. | At the end of three months let | your corsetiere measure you again. { You will still need corsets, may al- | ways need them, but you'll be able to wear a smaller size.
