Communism would have hailed the outcome as & victory for its cause, as indeed it would have been, and the reorganization of both coun- not have been long delayed. But both elections showed that the high tide of radical influence has been reached and passed in the two great Pnglish-speaking nations. The strength it had attained was due chiefly to the war and the ab- normal conditions that followed the armistice, declares the Oswego Times. The decline .of radicalism should henceforth proceed steadily. Prosperity will come as a result. of greater stability under the RQawes plan and a rapid development of in- dustrial enterprise. i | | SHOP EARLY IN KINGSTON. It is perhaps a little too early to governing per- gonal conduct for 1925, but it is most timely to resolve to do your Christmas shopping early and to do it {in Kingston. There is no better time to get into the habit of buying at home than during the Christmas shopping season, for in no other sea- son of the year are the stores more attractive, so well and completely : so humanly interesting. This-time of the year the men folks don't walt outside while the wife is inside do- It has never been proved that the stores have more merchandise and lower mrices to offer than. the home-town stores, and there is rea- son to believe that now, as the Christma opping period begins, the home-town stores are equipped with everything desirable and ob- talnable for gifits. There is one privilege and con- venience offered to the public by the earlier Chrigimas shopping season which has been overlooked. With the Christmas stocks on dis- play six weeks before Christmas, home-town buyers are afforded the opportunity of supplying their wants from the home-town stores as early as they would make their selections from the mail-order catalogue. The public 1s now buying at home for Christmas, resorting to the mail- order houses and out-of-town stores only in emengency. Buy at home this Christmas and avoid the worry of delayed ship- ments and the disappointment which comes from paying for things un- seen. THE LIBRARY 'BY-LAW. Must Kingston continue to grub along with the meangst excuse for a public library to be found in any Ontario city, or will it accept as a gift a bufldng uncomparably bet- ter? That, in its simplest aspect, is the question which the property holders must decide on December first. The suggested alternative of a lfbrary In the Clarence Street Park can scarcely be taken serious- iy, for if the citizens refuse to grant $55,000 to fit wp the Chown Build- ing, and buy the land, they would be doubly opposed to paying the $75,000 waich the library architect estimates as the minimum cost of the Clarence Street proposal. The public library cannot go on in the choked bandbox where it now {s---though if the by-law is not supported that is exactly what it will have to do. The needs of the com- m' nity have so outgrown the buiid- ing that the mental development and relish of thousands is being put un- der restraint by its insufficiencles. Five thousand books have to be packed away because 'there _ is neither shelf-room mor room - for: more shelves. Escape to more suit- able quarters fs mevitable. The ques- tion before the electors is that escape shall come now, when will have to shoulder the entire bur- I* The British officially accuse the COMMUNITY SERVICE. In 'their embryonic form the chambers of commerce, board of | trade, Dusinessman's luncheon clubs | and other related community organ- | izations were looked upon with sus- picion and distrust by those who be- | longed to mone of them. Because they did not know what they were for, the non-members believed them for selfish gain. Within recent years community clubs and associations have experienced an amazing growth in numbers and membership. At the same time they have earned the public confidence. Both the growth and the public approval were the frufts of service to the cemmuhity. In winning the confidence of the public the civic bodies have gained a viotory for the community in that their programmes for civic improve- ment are no longer obstructed by forces alien to them. But the vie- tory has created a mew obstacle, one that is perhaps more formid- able than|the first. This new bar- rier to community progress is the feeling that the community is safe in the hands of the civic organiza- | tions, so the public needs no long- | er to concern itself with community | problems. The public's lack of con- | fidence has been transformed into over-confidence. | This was the inevitable outcome | of the effective service that civic | organizations have given the com- | munity. The public confidente they | hold is deserved, but it is neither | fair nor desirable that the several | associations should bear the whole | burden of civie betterment. They | ghould work with the public, not for | it. It may be easier for the mnon- member class to allow the member class to do all the "building" and give all the "service," but it is nol the best thing for the non-member class nor for the community. Let group and individual work hand in hand with but a single purpose-- community service. Tenth Anniversary Of the Great War -- November 18th, 1914. There are terrible encounters along the line, between Dixmude and Ypres." The warships along the Bel- gian coast bombarded the coast towns held by the Germans. Ger- man troop train was destroyed by the Allies. Turkish forts fired on an Ameri- can launch, belonging to the cruiser Tennessee, at Smyrna, The captain of the boat had Washington orders to enter the harbor. The Allied troops continue to hold their lines at all points, with slight gains in the vicinity of Ypres. Germans of using dum-dum bullets. A letter received in Ottawa from a prominent officer with the Canadian contingent says the whole contingent may be ordered to Egypt.

On a boisterous, winter morning, on this day in November, 1878, Father Hemnepin and the explorer, La Motte, left Fort Frontenac, now Kingston, in a ten-ton vessel, tn route to Niagara. They were travel- ling under the direction of La Salle, and were to form part of his party of adventurers on his long-dreamed- of journey into the southwest. The journey was then an adventure whigh called for rare courage and endurance. After eight days the travellers had got only as far as the site of Toronto, and so severe had the storms now become that they were forced to run their ship dp the Humber river for shelter. There they remained until December 5th. On that day they made an attémpt to complete the journey, and 'were storm-tossed until next day when, to their intense relief they turned the | prow of. their ship into the Niagara river, and ascended to within sight | from their estimates of how the dis- | | tribution of weather will change in| odd reporting stations.

The forecasters' estimates of the movement and de- velopment of the weather are issued twice dally for all sections of the country. When the forecast reads, "Rain and warmer, followed by fair and colder," a look at the weather table will usually show that it is raining and warmer with southerly winds at cities a few hundred miles to the west and southwest, while be- yond it may be partly cloudy or clear and colder, with a northwest wind blowing. Tenth p | By James W. Barton. M.D, ' The HBlcod Carries Life and Death. Did you ever realize that that wonderful life giving stream, your blood, carries life and death within it at the same time? You know in a general way that it is flowing around inside your body, and that with any little cut or in- jury, somé of it pours out on the surface. You think of it always as the won- dertul life giver. You remember that it keeps the tissues always built up, by bring- | ing materials for this buliding, to all your tissues. You may remember that all the juices in digestion, the saliva in the mouth, the gastric juice in stomach, | bile in liver, and so forth, get all | their materials from the blood alsd.| But how often do you think about | the other side of the blood's work? | I mean that just as it carries these life giving materiale--yes really tite | itself --to all the tissues of your | body, so also does it carry death giv- ing materials--yes death itself-- within itself. Just think of that for a moment. In the one stream death, - And just as faithfully as it carries life, se likewise does it carry death, because the waste matter within it is really dead, is really poisonous, and 'is being carried along until the blood can reach the places - where this poison--this ' death--cath be thrown out of your body. Now Nature has arranged all this go well that the simple act of breath- dng gets rid of the most poisonous material. our kidneys separate out from thé blood other materials equally poisonous, The intestine itself likewise does its share, and the skin by perspir- ing gets rid of the rest. What does this knowledge mean to you? It may mean nothing because you live a sane life, by eating wisely and getting some exercise in the fresh air. This is really all that Nature ex- pects you to do, because the food builds up everything, and that little bit of outdoor exercise, burns up the wastes inside, and stimulates these waste removing organs to work as much as is needed, to re- move these poisonous wastes. is life and VERY MARKED SORROW.
