Did some tradesman eall you up the other day and ask you, a little ee | BTUITlY, perhaps, when you were go- ing to make another payment? And were you hurt and aggrieved? And did' you think he might make a little more distinction between sound people and unsound? You needn't feel that way. You were a little careless, and a .bit behind, but you are fundamentally honest and you own -property. He needs money and he knew he could count on you if The matter were brought to your uttention. Pay what you can cheerfully, help him and keep your credit. It's the old story of the just mak- ing up the losses caused by the un- Just, remarks the Oswego, N.Y. Palladium-Times. The Accountants' Institute is working on a campaign to reduce credit losses, which reach an enormous sum every year: If they succeed in pulling down the annual total to any great extent they will benefit not only merchants and wholesalérs, but every consumer in the land. Some years ago a woman Suyia a few bobbins happened to be told that the company which made her sowing machine maintained in one large city 12 men who did nothing but trace people who bad' bought machines on 'time and departed, | leaving no address. - When one considers that as mere- iy ome item in the credit dbsin of the unjust, it makes one a little more edger to keep one's affairs in one may not only be, but may show Platnly that one is on the side of the just. 1a CITIES OAN AID IN THE WAR AGAINST HAY FEVER: As has been shown, hay fever is the plants pollinating in those portions And may be relieved by determination of the specitic plant, and in some instances by de- sensitisdtion of the patient. In many large cities attemipts are now being made to relieve hay fever by systematically cleaning out all wacant lofts in which there are weeds that pollinate. Persons with hay fever and asth- ma Will probably do well to keep: their windows closed while asleep to keep out as much of the pollen as possible. ¢ Naturally persons with hay g)tutter unusually severely with a | conditions 4nd are anxious to al olds. This they should do by kee- i! ne that they are kept = properly | warm and dry, and not too greatly exposed to the weather. .

It bfings into play every muscle in the body and~produces a perfect figure and complexion. That's why King- ston's youths and maids are so superb. The' motorists will bless Thomas Midkelly for having discovered tet- raethyl lead, for, as a speaker told the American Chemical Socluty at Phitadelphia -the other day, it will not only take the knogk out of auto engines but add thirty-three and a half per cent. to the mileage power of gasoline. That's good news. The mother of Charlie Chaplin was interviewed and asked about the early struggles of her distin. guished son. She thought hard and then said: 'Charlie had no early struggles that I can recollect, except that he always made a good deal of fuss about having his face washed." There are others! It would be profitable for Eure peans to consider why the United States have prospered. Among the [main causes are' pedce --and free trade between the States, creating the largest and richest home market in the world. The . nearer the '| Burdpean countries approach to this condition, the more they will pros. per. The latest scare is that Ameri cans are obtaining financial control of Canadian industries. The more Canadian industries prosper, the more they will attract capital from all sources, The Americans have plenty of capital to spare, and they have the advantage of being near neighbors of Canada. We. cannot keep the American aapital out, but we need not allow it to influence out national sentiment, What should be done witly voters who neglect casting their ballots?

Far from cherishing any feeling Sir Wilfrid proceeded to defeni the | conduct of Prank Carvell, of" animosity, Michael Clark, Arthur L.

"They bad joined the Conservative party for base mo- tives. They would stay with the Tor- < ies long after the war emergency had ceased to exist. They could ne- ver be forgiven. . "That is just wheres you are mis taken," Bir Wilfrid gently replied. "The men who left me sincerely, honestly impelled, have done noth- ing which calls for my forgiveness. They are still my friends. It is to- wards the others, those who may have behaved dishonorably, that [I need most to exercise charitableness and forgiveness."

Stratford Beacon-Herald: Jack Dempsey makes as much as $850,- 000 out of one prize fight, and the total gate receipts are expected to be $1,760,000, If 875 men were paid a wage of $2,000 a year, the gate receipts would mest their en- tire payroll. And 875 men working at $3,000 a year is certainly more fo the point than two men galloping | off with the pay sheet for punéhing each other, trunk and jaw, for a few minutes. i LL T---- Safety First and Westminster Gasette: Many men have owed their success to mar riages which to the outsider may have seemed imprudent to the point of folly.: With the economic inde- pendence of women one important barrier to early marriages is remov- ed, since it is often possible tor the wifé to earn a living as well as the husband.
