The Duty of Jurors The statement of the foreman of a jury that he would never have brought in a verdict of murder had he known that the prisoner would be sentenced to be hanged indicates that the func- tion of a jury is not appreciated by the foreman or that he is not fit for jury .duty. At trials, jurors are sworn to a true verdict given according to the evidence”. The prisoner is charged with an ofience. The evidence either substantiates the accusation to thel satisfaction of the jury or fails to do so. If the evidence substantiates the charge. the jury is bound by its oath to return a verdict of guilty. With the consequences of the verdict, the jury is not concerned. The penalty is a matter for parliament, not for the jury. A juror who refuses to give a true verdict according to the evidence is false to his oath and a menace to the administration of justiceâ€"Toronto Telegram. | our and if dog owners would co-oper- ate and keep their wandering dogs at home (or shoot them) the ratepayer would have considerably more money in his pocket.

Of course, to give this advice may be like advising Colds are Dangerous It is only lately that there has come a general recognition of the tremend- ous monetary losses created by what is called the common cold, but it is not generally realized that the common cold is in itself a weakening ailment and may easily reduce the system to a Point where germs of the flu and other diseases can find easy ingress. Therefore it is the course of wisdom to treat a common cold with some care, if not apprehension. The best way to cope with it is not to fight it off on one’s feet under the very com- mon delusion that something plucky is being done. The place for a man with a troublesome cold is in bed.

Sleep at least seven hours. 6. Do not use napkins, towels, spoons, forks, knives and drinking cups unless they are clean. 5. Wash your hands before eating, and do not put your fingers in your mouth. 1. Avoid needless crowding. Walk to work when possible. 2. Take advantage of sunshine. 3. Sleep with windows open. 4. Avoid people who are coughing, sneezing or snufiling. in street cars and are directly exposed, and in theatres, movies, hotels, res~ taurants and other places where people congregate it is almost impos- sible to escape the germs when an epidemic is on. It is quite probable that a person who feels well today can communicate flu germs to some- body else without knowing that he is a source of distribution. The disease develops two days after contact with a carrier. To talk of avoiding the ’germs, therefore, is idle. It is best to assume that our throats contain flu germs as well as some millions of other germs, all waiting for a chance to become active when the general health is lowered. Influenza itself is a weak~ ening rather than a fatal disease. It reduces resistance to other germs and when death occurs it is as a rule the result of pneumonia or some other disease that has seized upon an im~ paired vitality. Here are some gen~ era! rules: why in some parts of the United States, theatres and schools have been closed. There are objections voiced to closing schools for it is argued that in the schools the children are under strict supervision and incipient cases may be noted more certainly than if the victims were at home or playing about the streets. , ' . Infection Inevitable In large communities contact with other people who are carriers or vic- tims is almost inescapable. We ride itself is not a fatal disease could be checked, but there has been no pro- gress reported. All that. doctors can do is to issue sound rules for avoiding the germs, which after all are merely sound rules for the general mainten- ance of health, and when- the epidemic comes treat it as best they can. Every- body knows that the disease is highly infectious, and therefore the advisa- bility of keeping away from the vic- tim‘ is manifest. This . explains the warnings against public meetings, and in the process a good many hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was ex- conquered by science the flu, which in the bug comes by accident. After the scourge of 1918, commissions were ap- pointed and doctors pondered long and learnedly on the problem, consuming epidemic is a major calamity which kills people by the thousand. In 1923 there was a flu epidemic, but the last major epidemic, which was indeed a pandemic occurred in 1918. So those of us ‘who live through the compara- tively mild invasions of the next twen- ty years may expect to see another real battle . between the flu and medi- cal science at the end of that period. . Science Not Much Help - Perhaps by that time science may have won out, though the prospect is not hopeful unless the discovery of every five years on this continent there is _ a_n_ ‘ppldemic of flu, and every sixth every 300,,000000 years, no more, and no less, but when it comes to inform- ing us in matters of greater urgency like influenza our science is dumb.

Among the books raries, civic, provincial and federal. In this way you can frequently have a chance to read a book before buying it. This is a great aid in choosing the right one for the farm library. Librarians can, as well, suggest maga- zines that contain reviews of books worth having. Publishers are glad to send their catalogues to interested people; through these you may locate books that are worth while, books that seem like old friends, as you go back to them from time to time. The home library that is most cher- ished is the one that is slowly built up by getting a book 'at a time that really fills a need in life. We all know the place that a few treasured books have taken in our own lives. The characters in these formed our ideals they taught us how others have lived, 'loved, toiled, striven against odds that formed character, and de- ,veloped men and women honored not Eonly in their day and generation but throughout all time. We. know from the biographies of great men how: books helped turn their lives into; paths that led to honor and distinc- tion.

Honey may be used in many ways, the most common way being as a spread or for dessert. Tons of honey :are now being used in the manufact- Lure of bread, cakes, cookies, etc., and .many a housewife has found that when honey is used instead of sugar in the making of such articles, a better flavor is produced, and that the pro- duct will keep fresh and moist for a much longer period. Honey mixed with‘ peanut butter or cheese also makes an excellent filling for sand- wiches, and as a sweetener for cereals, fruit drinks, ice cream, etc., it is un- surpassed. Honey can also be used instead of sugar for preserving fruit and in the making of candies, and will impart a flavor all its own. In almost any recipe that calls for the use of sugar, honey may be wholly or partial- é sweets and also supplies the necessary energy for their play or work. Honey is the nectar of flowers, ga- thered and modified by the honey bee. Approximately it consists of 85 per cent invert sugars, 18 per cent water, small quantities of mineral matter and volatile oils. Honey varies in color and flavor, according to its source, but all is of equal value as a sweet or food. All Canadian honey granulates sooner or later, depending upon the proportions of the invert sugars pre- sent), Unfortunately, granulation is often taken as a sign of adult'eration; this, however, is not the case, as gran- ulation indicates purity and does not in any way affect the quality of the honey. a sweet, but it is- also a valuable energy .ptoducing food; and as such, deserves a place 'on the daily menu 01: every Canadian home.
