But when the two ladies had gone up he did not read his book. He went to the piano and began to play over the song that Elsie. Monteith had sung to him, 2 If I were a blossom blown On the summer wind, forlorn-- He played it over several times, letting the music sink into his soul, and singing it in a low voice as he played. It was a haunting air, with a touch of melancholy and a wine gsomeness that was impossible to for- get. When he had played it he walked up and down the apartment, hands in pockets, head bowed,-a smile on his lips. : 4 If I were a blosom blown On the summer wind, forlorn-- She had sung it for him, he divin- ed. Not until that moment had the singing of that song received its proper place in the scheme of things; but now he glowed inwardly at what he had suddenly realized. She had sung it for him. 'i He sat down and played it again, imagining that she stood by his side. - He remembered every little gesture, ~every breath she took, every move- ment of her head. The clock struck half-past ten. He rose, closed the piano, and turned out the lights. He went upstairs without making a sound on the heavy carpet. The idea came to him that he might have awakened Elsie with his. playing.

In speaking as he did he undoubtedly pointed out the great weakness in the educational system of this prov- ince. It is, of course, impossible Lo impart the same quality of instruc- tion in isolated rural schools with poor equipment as is given in the towns and cities, Perhaps in some 'nstances the people of those dis- tricts are themselves to blame be- cause of their desire to procure cheap teachers.' This is unquestion- @smuch as the boys and girls in the country, because of their meagre op- portunities, deserve to have the very Lest teachers that can be had. The remedy for this state of af- 'airs is the establishment of consol- 'dated schools. It is not reasonable hat these individual schools, with ¢nly a small number of pupils, should be maintained to the detri- ment of the instruction offered. In these days of good roads and motor luses it would be a simple matter to collect the children and convey them to larger schools supplied with sary equipment, It is not a suffic- jent answer to say that many of the brightest students in the universities started in these isolated schools. If the advantages were greater, the number would be vastly increased. Some years ago the Hon. G.

A -- During Year Deposits Liquid Assets at $423,673, to the Public. .- Presents Strong Statement Total Assets Have Crossed the 'Eight Hundred : Increased Over $50,000,000 -- 287 and Are Equal to 58 Per Cent. of Total Liabilities Million Mark 881 Are Up From $382,172,- Reflecting the definite improve ment in financial conditions through- out the large field it serves, The Royal Bank of Canada is issuing to its shareholders a statement that shows very substantial growth dur- ing the year. As a result, total assets have crossed the eight hundred million mark, Deposits have again duplicat- ed the remarkable gain. of the pre- vious year by increasing more than $50,000,000. At the same time, hold- ings of high grade Government bonds have increased: to $209,463,208, up from $1650,708,386. Of special im- portance is the tendency of current loans to move upward, as a result of the gains that have been evident in many lines of business, Sharehdlders will mote with sa- tisfaction the high esteem in which the Bank is held as reflected by an increase of more than a hundred million in-deposits over the last two years. y Strong Liquid Position The general statement, which is for the year to November 80, shows total assets of $800,919,700, up from $768,428,904 in the previous year. Of this large total, liquid assets have reached® $423,673,881, as com- pared with $382,172,287 and are equal to 68% of total liabilities to year, Of this large total, fiquid as- loans of banks are still decreasing. Call loans in Canada also show a movement in an upward direction and are- reported at $26,328,679, up from $23,430,645, a gain of close to $3,000,000. Call Loans outside of Canada at $19,216,857 are down $10,690,196. ; This is likely due to the very low rates, of interest obtainable in the leading financial centres of the world, mainly London and New York. Large Gain In Deposits Of interest to the general public, as well: as to the shareholders, is the showing made in deposits. These now stand at $688,366,612 and are up $51,000,000 during the year, This follows on an increase in the previous year of over fifty millions, which makes the gain for the two years over 17 per cent. As was to be ex- pected, Saving deposits in Canada have continued to gain and the de: crease in .interest-bearing - deposils is understood to be due to a policy of cutting out of the payment of in- terest. on a large proportin of the bank's deposits, outside of Canada. Profit and Loss Account With lower interest rates pre- vailing, profits show a slight de- créase, but were sufficient to provide for dividends and the usual charges and make a contribution to Profit vegetables popular. If they are that kind, cut"them invitingly and serve raw like Tadishes. In this list come carrots, turnips," cauliflower hearts, koblrabi and beets. ADD CELERY AND NUTS "Shredded and mixed with celery end nuts or even with fruits for salad, you may use many vegeta- bles that would be refused if serv- ed straight. . Careless cooking is often the rea- eon for the unpopularity of vegeta- bles. Boiled just right, according to the kind of vegetable and served hot with plenty of butter, almost all ve- getables are palatable. A good sauce helps. An unpopular vegetable served .in combination with one that every- body likes is a good plan--carrots and peas, for instance. irr Appetizingly browned in butter or French fried in deep fat, even pars- nips could go to the top of the class --and baking is another aid. Also you may disguise them in meat stews, pot roasts, and soups. Souffles, scallops and casseroles offer unlimited possibilities. J So do gelatin dishes and loaves. * USED IN DESSERTS, TOO Then, of course, there are marm- alade and butters where you use carrots and tomatoes, and vegetable sandwiches with peanut butter or mayonnaise. Garnishes and cocktails you have already thought of, no doubt. But how about puddings, cookies, cakes and breads made with vegetable juice or finely chopped vegetables? y How To Be Happy Though Married aut 1 sige i) voices.

PUBLIC'S GULLIBILITY Ag an illustration of the gullibility of the public the speaker instanced salmon, declaring that the psycholo- gical effect of advertising was that people thought salmon to be good had to be pink. "White salmon is just as good as pink salmon, but the difficulty as to get people to think of salmon in any other terms than pink salmon until an advertising a- gent thought up the phrase "This salmon is guaranteed not to turn pink." . Dr. Rabinowitch gave some examples of tests made in his labor- atory at the General Hospital of soaps that contained from 28 to 51 per cent, of soap, of butter suppose- dly 1 1-8 cents cheaper that con- tained sufficient salt and water to make the actual butter cost 4 1-2 cents a pound more, of cleaning ag- ents for floors that contained 18 per cent water, 2 per cent. sand and 80 per cent, sawdust with a little color- ing. i Then he came on to the question of nutrition and dieting, .and warned his audience about following any general dieting plan without con- sulting physicians, declaring that no two people were alike in the effect that certain foods had on them, and that those women who went in for indiscriminate dieting and perhaps lost 20 or 30 pounds found them- selves within a year or so In the sanitarium suffering from tuber- culosis. HARMFUL EFFECTS "Notwithstanding the advice which is given by apparently ethical med- ical men and which we read almost daily in the newspapers, I am going to point out the harmful effects of this- system," declared Dr. Rabino- witch, "1 want to speak against the dis- semination of medical knowledge a- mongst those who have not the pro- per training to fully appreciate <qat knowledge. The medical profession has not and we hope never will hesi- tate to spread, that knowledge which by preventing disease will lessen in- dividual suffering and tend to the promotion of national welfare, but I doubt if this has not led to prac- tices not only of no benefit to the public but actual impairment in health. Amongst those who are "giv- ing such advice there are individual men whose ability to deal with this phase of the health problem cannot There are probably about 110,000, 000 smidgets running loose in those five states, and it's getting to be quite a problem. : ~The principal function of "midget money" seems to have been to put the pain back in what used to be doubt of their sincerity, but there is no doubt in my mind that this high and laudable practice has led to dis- aster." SCIENCE OF NUTRITION through the demands made on it, Dr. Rabinowitch said that in order to keep healthy this breaking down and building up of constituents must be kept balanced -- if the breaking down exceeded the building up a per son lost weight and if the building up exceeded the breaking down a person gained weight, and the science that dealt with that was. known as nutrition, Thwe were other factors besides energy, and even if two people of the same age, weight and sex were given the same food and the same number of callor- ies they would differ, for callories, were not the only consideration mn construction of diet.

It was designed to help the buyer see that he did not pay more than his true percentage .of tax. For instance, suppose your sales gre tax is 2 percent, You buy a gadget ~ for 10 cents Tax. two-tenths of a cent. But if there is no coin worth two-tenths of a cent the only thing you can do is leave a whole cent be- hind you as tax.
