No one can quarrel while there's a smile in his heart as well as on his countenance. To' smile awhile makes all smile with you. It makes for happiness and contentment, and also makes the world to glow with brightness, When you smile you're thinking good things for others as well as for yourself. To smile makes for health, and is better than medicine any time. It makes for perpeual spring and summer time all the time, and even wants to make you feel like doing good to oth- ers before doling so for yourself. Keep smiling. Make it your regular dally dozen.

"The transportation of liquor is illegal; the quantity so transported does not matter," says Attorney-Gen- eral Nickle, who, comments the St. Thomas Times-Journal, apparently, never had to help home a friend who had tried out that theory. The Toronto Globe is alarmed that if Mr. Meighen does not quit the Conservative leadership, as the Mont- real Star insists, "the Star may throw up its hands and refuse to be Con- servative any longer. And if by any twist of fate it should try to do a somersault into the ranks of the Liberal party, the result would be serious for the Liberals."
