Add to this the $5,000,000,000 paid for police, courts, jails, prisons, etc., and we are shown that dis- honesty costs $8,300,000,000 a year, a sum sufficient to pay the current expenses of any three governments on earth, Appalling figures, but they do not tell the whole story even at that. Dishonesty is increasing. Before the war the Insurance com- panies estimated that there were three burglaries to one fire; to-day there are seven. In ten years, the ratio of automobile therts to the total valuation has increased over five times. Surety companies to-day are paying six times as much for em- bezzlements and twelve times as much for burglaries as was true ten years ago, And, think: of the worthless goods sold, the theusands of articles lost and found that are never returned, the cheating in examinations at schools and colleges, the vast, vast number of petty deceptions that are practiced in all the walks of life and which are not tabulated. Depres- sing? Yes. Depressing enough to invite reaction--to challenge men and women and children to revolt and battle for right, Back of every offense, shortcoming, crime, one or all, there are human beings. *'After- math of war," '"'movies," "prohibi- tion," and all the other stock ex- planations for evil movements and conditions are piffle. They are re- sults, not causes. There is sorrow, of course, and charity, but there is no mitigation for dishonesty, no ex- tenuation for being a cheat. The easiest, most natural and very finest answer to, all the demands and problems of life--the answer. that best meets all moral questions of humanity---is "Be Square." - A POWERFUL FACTOR. A reviewer of books points out that the recent crop of translations is unprecedented. That is of good omen. As no man is sufficient unto himself, so {8 no nation. It is well for the peoples of the world to come into the! fullest understanding of each other's literature. Such an understanding makes for world peace, To aR The printing press is the most powerful factor in making men feel the common brotherhood of human- ity. But language differences are a great barrier against international understandings. It is very easy to get the notion that the fellow who can't understand or speak your language is a potential enemy. But when you can read his thoughts in your own forms of thought, and re- 'cognize that his desires and purposes ard ideals are akin to yours, yon loge the sense of alienation, After all, the great spirits gmong all the different peoples get abolit the same revelations, have about the same aspirations and believe in about the same principles. It is this community of spirit that translation helps to bring about. The world cannot have too much of this. TORY TACTICS. "It is not easy to meet the criti- cisms which are levelled from time to time at the railways for the pur- pose of promoting political pres- With the above statement of Sir Henry ornton, president of the Canadian National Railways, at Van- couver as a text, Kingston's Tory or- gan announces that it sels therein a rebuke to the Liberals for political '| interference in the affairs of the C. N. R. Our local contemporary is a blind follower of its master, Leader Arthur Meighen, former Manitoba | Jawyer who was rejected by his own constituents in the landslide of 1921. Imitating "its master's voice," fit 'makes a 'sorry attempt to read into Sir Henry's Vancouver utterances a a to the King government, +! whose ability to weather the parlia- 'mentary storms at Ottawa and end its third session with marked suc- and ! cess is a sore toucn ror this aged mouthpiece of the once privileged class in Canada. There is wothilg | in staterient of the C. N. R. president against the Liberal ry In think- ing so, the Kingstoh Tory organ is as tar wide of the fark as the average woman proves to be when she tries to hit an object with a stone, In- stead, Sir Henry is rebuking the Tory leaders for their conduct in parlia- ment, Mr. Meighen, the voice of the Big Interests and opponents of the C. N. R., occupied much time in the Commons last session sticking the knife into the C. N. R. management in an endeavor to embarrass the King government. Then thé Tory senate majority used.the knife on the branch line bills and made the railways a political football. West- ern Canada has the measure of the Tory party, which is no friend of the farmer anywhere, The prairie prov- inces will never vote to put in power the party which, led by Mr. Meighen, opposed tariff concessions to them and knocked on the head a number of the branch line bills. The Liberals are leaving Sir Henry Thornton to run the C.N.R., while the Tory chiefs are offering .all the opposition pos- sible. If Mr. Meighen's followers were in power they would not run the C.N.R. for political purposes--Oh, no! Did you ever see a real cat that would pot go after a bird? However, the chance of the Tories being placed in power is more remote than ever. The party that will rule must be friendly to the farmers, and the Tory tariff policy will never meet with the favor of the agriculturalists. Anything the farmers ever got was from the Liberal party and they will not forget. the above NOT PROVEN. "Drunkennesg less in Quebec. Con- victions hardly more than half those of dry Ontario." So run the head- lines, and newly issued Federal statistics fully bear out the second statement. Those figures will make excellent ammunition for one side im the forthcoming referendum. But it is a fair question whether drunkenness and convictions are the same thing, as the above headlines seem to suggest. A brilliant article in the January issue of "Social Wel- fare" declares emphatically that con- victions are not a true gauge either of drinking or drunkenness. In Van- couver, for instance, when a good showing was to be made the police court record of convictions for drunkenness was kept at one-half the proper figure by collecting as bail. what the arrested person might expect to pay as fine and allowing him his freedom. Where the state sells liguor it is natural to expect that damaging statistics will be minimized and that offenders will be treated with com- parative leniency. - Has this been the case in Quebec? According to the above article the lowest charge on which men are brought to the re- corder's court appears to be that of lying drunk. All who can presum- ably make their way home are not molested by the police. Convictions in Kingston would be reduced almost to nothing if the dead drunk only were halled into court. . There is a curious and interesting feature of the criminal returns for Quebec in the sudden outbreak of offences listed under "Disorderly Conduct," In 1920 these numbered exactly seventeen; two years latér they had risen to 2,417. Such a change can only be explained by some difference in classification, and fait too much to suppose that offend- who were formerly accused of be- on drunk are now brought up for disorderly conduct--to the consider- able advantage of Quebec's drink statistics? Those, then, who wish to believe that drunkenness is greater in dry Ontario have Federal statistics to back them up. But all who bring an open mind to bear on the facts will have to admit that owing to the dif- ference in the standards according to which law is enforced in the two provinces the contention, is not proven by these figures, This day marks sth August 7th, 1679, the "Griffin" sail- to set sail west of Niagara.

The vessel turned her prow homeward in an afternoon of ominous stillness, ruf- fling the glassy water, as she moved slowly under listless sails. When night came a terrible storm arose, and the ill-fated "Griffin" was never heard of again, The gallant little ship was named from the great carv- ed griffin on her bow, placed their in compliment to, Frontenac and taken That Body of Pourg By James W. Barton, M.D, Skin Disfigurements. You have had a disfiguring skin condition for which you have tried various ointments and pastes. Sometimes these have dried up the condition partly, and you have felt somewhat encouraged, but the-cure is not complete. Your family doctor has then been consulted, and after a few week's treatment, he finds that he is not getting results. He then goes into the matter of your diet with you. He has you abstain from certain rich articles of diet, and possibly po- tatoes, candies, and raw fruits. There js some improvement but not as much as he would like. He is just a little afraid of exer- cise because the blood comes to ther skin, there is heat, and perhaps in- creased irritation. e wouldn't worry about that per- haps, because he realizes that this very increase of blood to the part may mean a quicker drying up of the eruption, but he is afraid that you will rub it, scratch it, or try some "medicine" of your own on it, if it looks a little worse, Now what is my thought? That while your physician may help you with a local remedy, and may prevent the trouble spreading by watching your diet, the real cure --complete cure--may be right in your own hands. What do I mean? That a great many of these chronic skin conditions, eruptions that are disfiguring and humfliating need the local measures, and the constitutial measures in the matter of diet all right, and these should be carried out faithfully, but there is one big point that seems to be overlooked. This is the strength of the heart muscle as it affects the circulation. If you can get the local condition into a "clean" state, can supply the part involved with clean blood, and can then have this clean bluvod pump- ed to this clean part by a good strong muscular heart, then You can expect to get:results that will be per- manent. The trouble with many people with a skin condition, is that they are so ashamed of it, Lhat they live secluded lives, away from sun- shine and fresh air. Their very out- look on life interfers with all the vital processes--indigestion, respira- tion and circulation--because they will not bestir themselves. ° Regular outdoor exercise which will call upon the heart for extra re- gular work, such as fast walking or slow running, will give the heart muscle the power needed.

Oct. 24.--A Mrs. H., wife of a farmer in Hungerford, ran away on Monday last with a young fellow who had been working Mr. H.'s farm on shares. The desolate husband followed them to Kingston and found the happy couple taking their com- fort in one of the city hotels. He took steps for the personal safety of the gay deceiver and had him ar- rested on a charge of larceny, a con- siderable quantity of the prosecutor's property having been found in the defendant's trunk. Nothing that the husband could say could induce the lady to go back to her home; the gentleman was therefore hiougyt up to answer the The lady swore most lustily "the young fel- BIBBY'S -- 29.50 Suit Sale We're taking no half-way steps toward mak- ing this sale a real money-saving event for you.
