Durham THE DURHAM CHRONICLE 2.10 KEEP YOUR EYES HALF'SHU'L A wise old Quaker told his son when he was going courting to keep his eyes wide open. After his marriage he altered this coun- sel and bade him keep them half shut There is nothing cynical in this advice, though to the super- ficial thinker it may seem so. _ Keennesss of vision’is a bless- ing which may easily become a disadvantage. A young housekeep- er acknowledged to an older one that in her own home she never had a moment’s peace. Hardly had she seated herself after her morning’s work was finished. as she supposed, when her attention would be attracted by sotrxethinfi.P not quite right. ‘ ‘ Perhaps she would see a speck of dust in the corner, or discover that a picture on the wall was not hanging exactly straight, or that a piece of furniture needed to be set at a slightly different angle. She became weary and Wor- ried. She tn'o longer had time for outside Work or recreation. Her Ilife was Wasting itself in the ef- :fort to have everything exactlv as I it should be. In the home circle an over-keen vision is disastrous. The proverb says that love is blind, but as a matter of fact love is frequently not as blind as it needs to be. i There is no more uncomfortable member of a family than the per- son who sees every little flaw in all the others. It is true that blindness to our friends’ faults may be carried to an absurd ex- tent. but a little of it is a won- derful 'help to home comfort. There are times when we need to keep our eyes wide open. in making an important decision which will have a strong influ- ence on our future life we need to see every factor inn olved fax or- able or otherwise. But after the die is cast it does not pay to be looking for flaws. Eyes half-open are open widely enough. Sunburn, blistering and irrita- tion are the commonest form of summer skin troubles, and Zam- Buk ends these very quickly. It works in two ways. As soon as applied, its antiseptic powers get to work [and kill .all the poison in a wound, a sting or a sore. This generally ends the smarting and the pain. Then Zam-Buk begins the healing process, and fresh, healthy tissue is built up. For sore, blistered feet,‘ sore hands, heat rashes, baby’s heat spots, sore places due to perspiration, etc.. you can’t equal Zam-Buk. It also cures cuts, ulcers, abscesses, piles and all inflamed and diseased conditions of skin and subiacent tissue. Druggists and stores every- where sell Zam-Buk, 50c. box.

Mr. H’enkle of North Brant, recently. Mr. 'H‘enkle is the Lutheran minister who made him- self offensive to Prof. Riethdorf a few weeks ago, when. addressing a patriotic meeting. When Officer Craig was pre- sented with the facts and Mr. Hemkle had to admit expressing his views, Craig served him with a paper notifying him that he would have to report once a month to Crown Attorney Dixon and to guard his speech in future. He refused to. agree to report as requested. Craig simply inquired of Briggs if his buggy would carry three back to Walkerto'n, as he Wished to take Mr. H'enkle to Kingston for internment until after the war. This had more effect than an hour’s argument and Henkle was then Willing to agree to anything and will report until the end of the war to the crown attorney or take the alternative of being in- terned. The officers then visited Ches- ley and interviewed H. Hannan- ran, who has been offensive with his views. On ascertaining the business of Mr. Craig, he wilted at once and agreed to report monthâ€" ly to the chief constable of Ches- ley. UNKIND SILENCE.

Human life has been destroyed in wholesale quantities in Toron- The statement means that at least 100 babes are destroyed each year in Toronto. The police, how- ever, hawe nothing to work upon and the chief coroner can do nothing. The present average number found shows little de- crease from any time during the two years. The birds eat millions of insects that, if left alone, would destroy millions of dollars’ worth of fruit and grain. Of course, some kinds of birds are pests, but you need. not have many of those kinds on your farm if you will spend a little time studying birds. Study their habits of feeding and nesting Prepare homes-for only the help- ful kinds, the ones that feed chief- ly on insects and worms. Meetings will be held in the Public Library every Monday ev- ening .at 8 13.11:. until the 6th of September. Members and friends cordially invited. An exhibition will be held in the Town Hall on September 9th, of which particulars will be given later. MRS. J.S. MCILRAITH, President. CHRIS FIRTH, Secretary.
