Adertisements which include these words are appearing frequently in the papers. They. are widziy distri- buted, throwing open the avenues of cpportunity to the 'right 1an" wherever he may be. Usually they are addressed to young mea, but as ability is sought it is reazonabia to conclude that fellows turned fifty, 'who have not lost ambition and pos- sess brains, energy, enthusiasm, bared from consideration on account of age. The advertisers seem to want supermen. At any rate, they have Important work to be done, and they announce their readiness to pay generously for the services of those who can qualify. . The significance of these quests for high class men by large business organizations goes far beyond their affirming the truth that there "al- ways is room at the top." Not only is there room, but there does not ap- | pear to be anyone capable of filling big money. Not only are there highly de- sirable places "going begging" in sion, but the managers of big busi- ness envisage the approach of better times and are making preparations to meet increased demands, enlarge their sales and improve their ser- vice. Verily, these are golden days for the courageous youth of Canada who have also the ability of which business is so much in want.

A "home girl" doted on camping; a student longed for mental treats, es- pecially grand opera; a railroad switchman wanted nothing so much | as to go into the country in an auto | with a pretty girl and fish and loaf; | another student would like to have | a congenial job and also leisure for healthful outdoor sports, while a salesman declared his idea of a good time was to sit down and drink half | a dozen steins of good beer. { Further information is lacking. It ie pretty safe to conclude, though, that the desires of these people were centred on things they are least glle to have. It is a way with people.

Barton, M.D, the loss of chewing power, and also the possibility of the permanent set coming in an irregular or crooked fashion. Likewise a tooth that is loose or aching means that the youngster will not do any chewing on that side, and perhaps very little on the other. This means that he will let the food get into the stomach with very little chewing, or that he will eat nothing but soft mushy foods. The best de- veloper of good teeth and healthy gums is just the simple habit of chewing. { The unfortunate thing about it also is that youngsters will lose a number of teeth before they ever go to school. Now it is generally agreed that up to the age of eight or nine, your | first or milk set are just like so many moulds, keeping a place big enough for the permanent set when they ar- rive. If then thirty-two permanent teeth are to take the places occupied by twenty first or milk teeth, and a | number of these first teeth decay or are lost too early, there will not be the regularly shaped and full sized | mould ready for the permangnt [teeth.

For to conspire to declare a strike against the Govern- ment is to declare war, and if one body of public servants declare war on the Government, then so can any other body, even to the army, and anybody can see what that would mean. The Canadian postal em- ployees should have continued their campaign of educating the public, rather than resorting to force and renalizing the people who must sup- ply the funds, and whose good-will is therefore essential.

There is, no doubt, a growing spirit of revolt against the foreigner which will need firm handling by the Legations. It is significant, for in- stance, to read that two hundred and eighty members of the Chinese Parliament are said to have endors- ed the decision to send a cable - to the British Government the keynote of which, according to a Chinese pa- per, is this: "Great Britain can bar the Chinese from landing in Aus- tralia and Canada, but not from the City Wall in Peking." What these childish intellects seemingly fail to | understand {is that these regulations which debar Chinese soldiers from being on the City Wall within the Legation Quarter are not the regula- tions of the British Lego but those of the entire Diplomatic €orps. --Hong Kong Press. | WHY THE WEATHER? DR. CHARLES F. BROOKS Secretary, American Meteorologionl Soctety, Tells How. I Se 3 Fireworks and the Weather, Fourth of July fireworks have often been unjustly blamed for un- timely showers which curtail the celebrations of the evening. The belief that rain can be precipitated by explosions has long been wide- spread and has led to many attempts at rainmaking.. Prof. C. F. Talman, of the U. 8. Weather Bureau, points out that "the idea originated long before the invention of gunpowder. It is mentioned by Plutarch and other writers of antiquity." Some have suggested that a violent explo- sion jostles minute cloud particles together into drops large enough to descend as rain. The extent of this jostling might be compared with the result of clapping our hands in a room full*of moist air. Another ex- planation of the supposed effect of explosives 1s that the increase of smoke and gases in the air affords more abundant nuclei for condensa- tion. The atmosphere, however, has ordinarily more than enough of such nuclei, Moreover, smoky cities like Pittsburgh receives no more rainfall than the surrounding country, Many people have cited the fre- quency of rain after battles in sup- port of the theory of explosives caus-J: ing rainfall, As rain in many places occurs normally every two or three days, and battles are usually fought in fair weather, rain soon after a battle is what might be expected. Strong Objection Is Taken To Drinking Cups in Park Strong objection has been takea by a number of citizens over the placing of agate cups at a tap in Frontenac park for drinking pur- poses, the claim being made that it is very unsanitary. It is stated that there are "bubblérs" in the other parks and that this park, where the playgrounds are located should also be fitted out with proper drinking facilities. The civic parks committee will be appealed to in regard to the So look after the first set.the same as you do the permanent set. Let your dentist clean, fill, and remove decay. Children's Teeth, When you were a youngster just starting to school for the first time, you may remember that your school mates did not always have full sets of teeth, In fact the ability to '"'spit through your teeth" as did one of Mark Twain's heroes, was because you were lucky enough to have one miss- ing at the front, instead of at the side. The loss of a tooth by a blow or a fall, or that it simply got loose and came out, was such a common oc- currence that neither your parents nor you were much concerned about it. However, when your youngster goes to school now for the first time there is not only medical inspection but dental inspection also. The loss of a tooth or teeth is not now con- sidered such a trivial matter because although permanent teeth will come in later, the absence of teeth means en KINGSTON IN 1851 Viewed Through Our Files The Sporty Council. June 26.--On Monday night, the regular night, for a wonder there was a quorum present, but the city council, instead of proceeding to business; adjourned to drink cham- pagne. Last night, a special meet- ing was summoned for the despatch of business; but as there was no champagne: to be drunk, there was no quorum, and the city is put to the expense of five dollars in publishing the names of the absentees, What a precious set! A correspondent asks us whether the asterisks in the clerk's adver- tisement, attached to the names of certain city councillors, absentees from the council meeting of Monday night, were meant to signify '"'Ab- sent at the cock fight." To which interrogatory we answer, "No." The asterisk was placed to the names of those unavoidably absent from King- ston on business; those absent at the cock fight at Kingston Mills were rot particularly alluded to. Revolt at the Pen. July 3.--It appears that one of the convict shoe-makers struck his keeper with a hammer on the back of his head, but fortunately the blow was not of sufficient force to stun him, although serious injury was in- flicted by it, and he was able to call for assistance, whereby the inten- tions of the convicts were frustrated We learn from our informant that had the ringleader succeeded in his diabolical attempt upon the life of the keeper, the rest of the convicts were ready, with knives in their bands, to make a general attack up- on 'their officers. ' 'His popularity with the people of Canada was a thing very dear to the heart of William Lyon Mac- Kenzie, who in 1837, headed a re- belion against constituted author- ity. In the elections of 1836 Mac- Kenzie had been defeated at the polls. He was shocked and amazed, and wept like a child in his disap- pointment. It was then he secretly resolved to accomplish by illegal means what he failed to realize by constitutional means. To this end he founded "The Constitution" on this day in 1837, a paper calculated to inflame its readers against government of Upper Canada. Then 'came the armed rebellion and de feat. He retired to the United States but was eventually taken before the courts there with inciting attacks on Canada from the soil of the : | A ---------------------------- r---- a friendly nation, and was imprison- ed. The building in which MacKen- zie published the "Constitution" still stands within a few hundred yards of the City Hall at Toronto, reduced to the-more prosaic uses of a to- bacco shop. -------- LEAVING FOR ABROAD Several Picton People Are Sailing--Arthur Despard Is lll in England.
