[AGE Fe The follOwing timely article is re- produced fsom the Kingston Stan- dard, one of the brightest exchanges coming to our desk. The truisms which are emphasized should be tak- en to heart by our young men:â€" Why are young men in these times so much more extravagant than in the old days ? Why is it that ever so often we hear of the disappear- ance of this or that young man who has been spending money more freely than his means justified and who has finally felt obliged to depart for unknown quarters ? Is it the fault of the young men themselves, or is it the fault of their associates ? The answer is that it is probably a com- binations of the two reasons. The fact is the youth of today is, all in all a. much less respon- sible person than the youth of a de- cade or two ago. Then, too, he seems to be more easily led by the example of others; .while, beyoud this, it is an undeniable fact that if he seeks to hold his end up socially he finds him- self outdistanced in the race“ unless he is prepared to buy flowers . and candies for his lady friends, and n Sporting Goods, shot Guns, Loaded Shells A good Single Bar- m UbuvL-r’- vv â€".-v, .v., -__. , undeniable fact that if he seeks to It is all so ridiculous!

The fact is real friendship he is prepared to buy flowers ' and and real respect are not to be bought candies for his lady friends, and by favors, nor yet by. showiness or Spend money upon them for this, vain display.

We none of us seem to be satisfied either with the simple life or with the simple things of life. In our dress, in our amusements, in our general habits. we are inclining more and more to more or less lavish expenditures, and seem largely lacking in the spirit of self denial which at one time was: felt to be a characteristic of real manli‘ness and of genuine woman- hood.' We are losing, indeed, the power to say no; losing also, the courage to refuse to follow in the footsteps of those who lead neither wisely nor well; and for the reason that :did we reiuse we fear we should lose the admiration and the friend- ship of those whose friendship we seek to holdâ€"by purchase or by ia- another way we find that 'the tenden- cy of the times throughout, not only X'OI'. ml'y, size 81-2, I .1 ............. 23c é ; seconds, with Lisle m ’fii.

It is better far to have a. few friends and a good name than by the dis- play of moral cowardice to make false friends and lose one’s good name into the bargain. All SMALL DEBTS The following article, which ap- peared in a recent issue of a, church paper ought to be read by everybody. Every honest man is supposed to pay his debts if he is able to do so, and yet there would seem to be not yafew who for Some reason orvother, while claiming to be honest men, do not Show any verz geat anxiety to pay their small debts. They probabd 1y intend to pay, but they see no reason why their creditors should be in any hurry, and possibly in the end they forget to pay. A certain paper commenting upon; this, declares that during the past! ten years it has lost enough on sub-‘ scriptions of good people to pay 05 every dollar of its indebtedness on building and printing plant. And ,no doubt many a retail merchant and many a poor man and woman re- flects bitterly upon the fact that they find it hard, and in some cases im- lpossib-le to collect small debts ow- ing- them by presumably honest peoc ple. One strange fact in the case is the peculiar attitude, assumed by' many, ‘ that it is the creditor’ s business to' collect ,-the debts due him, and if he does not bother about it the debtor; has “"110 reason to trouble himself in? the matter. It is hard to reconcile? such an attitude with any , proper: conceptiOn‘of honesty, and yet all§ these debtors claim to be strictly honest' men. Their attitude is simply ithat every’ man must look after his? {OWE business, and collecting debts is' part of every man’ s, business. Just why the payment of debts is not we cannot see, and yet we venture totl say that there are thousands of men. in Canada who would hever voluntar-i! \ l i i 1 ily, '55. e., on their own initia hive, pay a small debt. i Avoid all the White-gilled and yel- lowâ€"gilled mushrooms. Avoid all old or spoiled specimens of any kind. The pink, black or.brownÂ¥gilled are Esafe, though the pink is most deli- cious. Pufi balls are not poisonous. Motels, are all good. Hydmens are all good. ‘ ' s-. We think that every man should make the prompt payment of small debts an item of his religion. What kind of honesty is it which.£ails to pay for a pair of shoes, 3 pound of butter, a year‘s subscription to the local or the church paper, or for work done by, some poor washer wo- man or laboring man ? Forgetfulness cannot excuse the non-payment of debts. And if the poor creditor dares to ask for payment of the debt, in not a. few .cases he is treated as an ofienâ€" der, and the debtor takes such re- quest as a positive insult. We won- der who is to blame for such a state of affairs? Surely it is possible to tone up the conscience of every com- munity to at least feel that small debts ought to be promptly paid. Deaths occur in this country every year owing to the fact that many people who use mushrooms as table food are unable to distinguish with certainty the poisonous from the others. Cool, damp weather is fav- orable to the growth of such fungi. consequently they are usually most abundant ‘in the fall. These magi. so-called mushrooms, or uoadstools, or whatever else, may be roughly. in view of their use as food, classed into three groupsâ€"(1) those which are edible and goodâ€"(2) those which are poisonousâ€"(3) those which are indifierent, neither poison- ous or good. The chief thing to be kept in mind are the characters of the poisonous torms. These all, practically all, be- long to one genus and have these points of distinction which may eas- ily be recognized by everyone. They have white “gills,” i. e., they are white under the cap, not pink, black or brown. They have a ring around the stalk. This is nearly always ap- parent. They have a sort of cup of flaky material round the base of the stalk. At times this is not easily disâ€" tinguished. These three characters distinguish the Amonita or Death’s Cup. No amateur should meddle with the white-gilled fungi, though many of these forms are among the best. None of the pink, black or brown gilled forms are deadly. Few of, the yellow-gilled fungi are good. Avoid them. MUSHROOMS SHOULD BE PAID BRIDGE SURVEYED T0 CRDSS SEUGOG The Port Perry Star contains the following item re a bridge which there has been some talk of building across the Scugog near Janetvill-e to give the farmers access to both sides of the river: Surveys are being maderby the Do- minion surveyors for a; bridge to give the farmers of'Mariposa outlet into Cartwright township near Janetville. The stakes have been planted. Two routes have been ‘proposed â€"- one along the town line between Man- vers and Cartwright across the Scu- gog into Mariposa, and a second from the first concession north of the town line of Janetville to a point in Mariposa township oppoâ€" site. This latter route is saigl to be about 280 feet shorter than the route along the town line into Jane-tville. The survey is being made preparat- ory to a report to be submitted to the. Dominion Government. If the bridge is built it will likely cost a. good many thousand dollars.â€" Port Perry Star. ANOTHER PARTY Another party of twelve me-m'bers of parliament are expected within the next week to make a trip over the Trent Valley Canal from Peterboro to Orillia, with stopovers at various points. Practically the same route as that fpllowcd by the party that went up, from Peterboro to Orillia and back to Lindsay, will be covered. Mr. f Mr..McClelland has also received a Elctter from the Civil Engineers? of ,Toronto, who desired to make a trip Fover the canal. They will. be afiorded :an opportunity of a day’s trip in the inear future, from Bobcaygeon to zJackson's Point. The upper reaches got the canal, especially where it {broadens out in the Kawartha chain I{are beautiful under the early autumn 'sun, when it shines, and those who gwill have the opportunity of seeing Ethe canal at this season, should be limpressed with its natural beauty. J. H. McClelland stated that he thought the Hon. J. D. Reid, Minis- ter of Customs, would be included‘in the party. He was expected last Fri- day, but was not present, although he may be with the next part? of parliamentarians who visit the ca- nal and the beauties of the Kawartha chain, which forms a part of it. The Ross Memorial Hospital has had very few cases of typhoid during the past month, which fact points to a. good state of sanitation in Lindsay. HOSPITAL PATIENTS PROGRESSING WELL At present there are a total of twenty-seven patients in the wards, all of whom are progressing favor- ably. During the month there» have been twenty-two operations, all of which have proven highly successful. A son of Mr. Kennedy of Dunsford was brought in yesterday suffering from appendicitis, and was operated upon. He is doing nicely this morning. A reliable '- rench regulator: never fails.

THE LINDSAY POST, TO VISET CANAL J. :xcu LLJL' SUGGESTS THAT FEAT BE USED _ lS MGRE ECQNGMICAL THAN COAEM " ‘” The use of peat, of which there is an immense supply in Ontario, to replace soft coal and anthracite is suggested by U. S. Consul Johnson in his report to the American Gov- ernment. Mr. Johnson points out the scarcity of coal, the prices having al- ready advanced in Montreal from $7 to $8 per ton, with every indication of further and more drastic changes at the apprOach\pf winter. It is estimated that if the available peat deposits of Ontario were utilized the cost of fuel consumption would de- crease fully 50 per cent. Peat is best used in open grates and cook stoves and heaters, al- though if properly looked after it will prove satisfactory in furnaces as well. The illustration is given of one gentleman» who saved $34 by using peat last winter. He had formerly burned eleven tons of hard coal at $7.50. Last winter be burned 15 tons of peat at $3.50, a saving of $34. It costs about $2.25 per ton to ma- nufacture peat into a form suitable for combustion. The bogs of this product at Alfred Ontario, are the only ones that have been worked extensively as yet, and they have turned out to be a huge success. The bogs are situated about forty miles from Ottawa, which city uses a large portion of the product. 1 The plant at Alfred is making mo- ney and there is no reason why an- otlnr, more centrally located, should not pay. The move would at least be appreciated by the householder up- on whom the burden of the increased cost of living is falling heavily. APPLES WILL NOT and the coat is less proportionately. There are large bodies of peat still untouched. The Simcoe bogs near Toâ€" ronto containr fully 9,000,000 tons, and extensive areas within a few miles of Lindsay have yet to bee}:- Plored. It has been proven by the actual test of Ottawa manufacturers that 2% pounds of peat will produce as much heat as 1-} pounds of soft coal, sation with the Post on Fl‘hursday stated that the reports published re- garding the) bumper yield were mis- leading insofar as this district .was tified with the handling of apples for a number of years, and speaks with authority when he stains that the yield in this section this year will qe small. In sections, Mr. Connolly states, where be secured 1500 barrels he will not be able to get 500 barrels this year. Mr. Thos. Connolly, the well known local authority on apples, in conver- v Mr. Connolly stated it was'a great pity that people did not take greater care» of their orchards, more especial- ly in regard to. the spraying of trees. There was more money in apples, than in a great many other crops the farmers raised, and if they only,r went into it in a business like manner, and paid more attention to their or- chards, the results would be profita- ble to them.
