TO BE NEIGHBORLY |" Modern Hurry and Whirl Eliminating Much That Is Worth While. . * -------- »~ No longer do we find neighbors ( and friends paying each other fre- quent frieadly calls. The day of such vikits appears to be over. Peo- ple living adjacent to each other often go weeks, even months at a time, without seeing each other until they meet by chance on the street. Then a conversation similar to this ensués, "Why, Nell, I haven't seen you in ages. Why don't you run in some time? So much has happened since I saw you last," and a recita- tion of all the social activities for the past month, the household cares and housecleaning worries are then re- counted at length. The friends part, each promising to "run in" some day real soon. Yes, she will bring the baby and spend the afternoon chatting, just like the good old days. But does the visit ever materialize. Scarcely ever, says "Janet." How , do you account for the change? Are friends less cordial or can people live without thé society of a largé circle quaintances? The answer is prob- ably due to the growth of tities and towns and {increased number of amuseménts and sports afforded the present generation. Not many yéars ago each little community was isolated from the rest of the world, more or less. The sphere of the inhabitants was nar- row and limited. Church was a place where young and old alike congre- gated on Bunday, lingering after the | service to exchange ideas, to gleam the latest néws in the village and to learh of the few happenings from the outside world that drifted in. Evenings were long, monotonous and often unbearable if neighbors did j mot congregate at various homes, whiling away, the peacétul hours in i chatting, playiig cards and singing. | Lite then was simple, and it did not také much /to make people happy. | Not being aware of the great oppor- | tunities afforded the residents of the eities, no oné coveted what his neigh- bor had and few lived beyond their , means. If adyone was taken sick, the neighbérs were called in to nurse the patient, to care for the rest of the family dnd all sent dainties and galled to learn of the progress being made toward his recovery and to ofter their services. But the cry to-day Is that no one has time to be neighborly. The spirit is willing and the intentions of all are the best ever, but time is never available to treat friends and neighbors with the attention and re- spect due them. Women find their mornings more than filled with household duties, the afternoons with shopping, clubs, parties and matineés, while the evenings are por- tioned off a few minutes to lectures, i of friends and ac-| S.S.RICHELIEU RE once Cartier's adven- turous barque bore the Lilies of France, in the quest for far Cath- ay, now plough the magnificent ships of the Canada Steamship Lines.

The whirl continues, day after day, with no relsxation, until nem are at the 'breaking + point health ebbs away. The doctor is called, the patient is hur- od to a quiet saditarium or health- resort 'and even the residents door aré unaware that anyone + yA nn was {ll or that the busy routine is not going on just as it did the day before. If one is unable to keep up the pace and is forced to drop out, others are still continuing with the grind and the vacancy is not noticed. : There are apparently no isolated districts any more. Most villages are near a city or connected to a real live wideawake town by excel- lent roads, by fast express, by air- mail service, by telephone, by radio and by newspapers. The theatres, Jeys, men's clubs, gymnasiums and i {swimming tafk of the village are just small editions of the same faeill- { | ties afforded the city dwellers. It people have more ways than {enough to fill their time, to amuse themselves and to claim their at- tention, it is no wonder. that it is turn, fo the society of friends aed friends who are neglected. It a re-i1 i neighbors is desired, then clubs, amusements and outside, demands will have to be done away.

Is Said To Be A Cure for Catarrh and Colds. If; during the next few days, you should see a man place his Hand near his nose and snuff a fine white powder, it will not be a sure sign that he is what is known as a "snow- bird," or morphine addict. It is more than likely that he has been consulting an osteopathic physician and has decided to take the "sugar cure" for catarrh. : Dr: J. D. BEdwarcs, St. Louis, told the American Osteopathic Associa- tion 4t/Toronto that powdered sugar is very good, both for meutes head . | emerald bracelets valued at $87,000, use in preserving fruits.
