Circulation over 1100, | Price in Canada $2.00 per year, j when paid in advance fl.60. In I U. S. A. $2.50 per year when paid in advance $2.00 (Members of Canadian Weekly News- paper Association) W. H. THURSTON, - - Editor F. J. THURSTON - Aseoc. Editor PHOFITIXC; TIIKOl (JH SERVICE When merchants build new stores, add additional sales space, install new fixtures, improve their show windows, augment their sale forces, replenish their stocks with the host and newest, it is for the public. Of cource they are in business for the purpose of making a living, but to make that living they must first jjive service, no their first objective is always "to serve and please." "Fair exchange is no robbery" is a boaiaeu nhrase which hps been hand- ed iliwn f'om generation to genera- tion and now seems to have r>cpuired immortality. The laborer exchanges In labor for his wage. The capital- ist exchanges his money for his inter- est. The manufacturer exchanges his products for his cost of production plus profit, the professional man e-;- changes hits services for his fees or riis salary, the storekeeper exchange.-, riis goods for cost plus service charge. Everybody is in business for himself by doing business for somebody else. Like the public official, the merchant is in business for society and there fore every member of that society is riin employer, his bos. One of the compensations of bus- iness in that public recognition and appreciation come to some sooner than to the businessman who really serves. A flourishing trade is syn- onymous with public trust and con- fidence. Service must ever precede success 'i business. you have- to aim ahead in order to score a hit, even where his tail is sup- ;<"sod to bo located. i This March set-back to winter i* rather discouraging on the nutomo- l)ile owner who desires to get the most for his license money. It "s also a little hard on the early spring weather prophet and Globe robin, to say nothing of the poor man's wood- pile. It is not without compensa- tion.*, however, and tho most import- ant of these is the assurance of the usual spring supply of moisture to revivify mother earth for the spring planting. The Dominion Parliament will open tomorrow at Ottawa. An unusual condition of affairs exists. I'arlia- ment, on this occasion, will have to be opened without the aid of a Governor- General, as the newly-appointed ex- ecutive has not yet arrived on Canad- ian soil. Such a very serious condi- tion might be avoided by pressing radio into service for the occasion. Someone should have thought of such a solution before this late date. We are not taking enough advantage of our modern inventions. * We passed a market place in a near by citv *he "tliT dy and were at- tracted by the beautiful display of vegetables offered for sale. Carrots, boots, nar.nins, r>tc., looked as fresh am 1 anpeti/.im; "s the day they were harvested. On inoiiiry we learned (hit these vf"*nliblR h-ul been stored i" 'iiH lat fall. T(l thy WPP? so attractive that customers could not resist them. Pit storage is tho old fashioned wv of wi-t^rintj fruits and vegetables, and we know of no method th- will hi at it. It is wonder that this system ever went out of fashion. Aylmer Express. "Jfcalt It 5o%ice t OF TUB (gattabteut ifflebiral Aaiwnatunt Kdilcd'liy GRANT FLEMING, M.D. ~ ASSOCIATE SECRETARY WHAT TO WEAR Dress according to the weather, j not according to the time of year. j The amount of clothing required dc- | pends upon the temperature, not upon the month or day of the year. In- dividuals differ; some require to wear more clothing than others in order to keep warm. The amount of clothing required al.io depends upon occupation /and upon working conditions. In a heated room, no more clothing is required i than is worn out doors in summer. ' Too much clothing causes the body to i perspire excessively and then, almost si rely, chilling occurs when the in-. dividual goes out into the cold. The habit of not removing out-door clothing when sitting indoors causes perspiration with subsequent chilling, and sometimes this is followed by a cold or some other infection. Chill- ing of the body should be avoided, and I it is pointed out that, as we have said chilling usually results from tor) much clothing rather than from an insuf- i ficiency. j The feet should be kept dry. If we I get our feet wet and then sit at home, or at school, or at work, our feet are ' chilled while the rest of the body re- ' mains \vaim. In some way, this favours the occurrence of colds. If Ihc feet do become wet, shoes and stockings should bo changed and the feet given a brisk rub with a towel. Underclothing is required to protect the outer garments from the per- spiration of the body. It also serves as a covering which may be changed as tho temperature changes. The outdoor worker in winter usually needs to wear woollen underwear in order that he may keep warm. Wool has the advantage of absorbing per- spiration and not allowing rapid evaporation; in this way, the wearing of woollen garments prevents chilling. Underclothing should be changed as often as it is required to do so to kocn it clean. Soiled underwear is offen- sive, and, besides, it favors the occur- once of skin diseases. Much discomfort and actual disease may be avoided by giving some at- tention to clothing from a health point of view. The body coverings should be clean. Clothing should be sufficient to keep the body warm. Too much clothing, which causes perspiration, leads to the chilling of the body, sit- ting with wet feet predisposes to colds so the feet should be kept dry. Re- move out-door clothing when indoors, and put on additional clothing before going out. Auction Sale FAKM STOCK, IMPLEMENTS, ETC. J. A.

If such a thin-; is true the lion must have had his Voice removed in this locality. The jack rabbit is a new citizen of this district and our nimrods have wrnrcely yet discovered just how far Ontario through the new market- ing council, provided for in the Somerset report, will embark with- out delay i;i>on sweeping new noli- <'- to promote new markets, rccan- tut" old ones, and restore to prosner- ity the fruit and vegetable '"dustry of the province. Announcements of th-ir new nolicies in a speech bv Hon. T. L.

C. J. BELLAMY ai)4 F. W. DUNCAN, Auditors We often wonder how many of our "old-timers" can recall when we put our shirts on over our heads: when anybody could hitchup a horse; when there were no such things as wrist i n-atches; and a hired girl was lucky i to get $2.50 a week. Or how many remember when boys collected cigar- : 3! to paitc.ro; when everybody !had . tonsils and kept 'em; when nobody hid appendicitis and most everybody kept the Sabbath. Surely there ! must be a lot of folks around bor* who can remember when they carried a lantern on the dashboard of the spring wagon and drove it through mud, and dirt most of the time; when! they slept on a straw tick and took I a bath in the wash tub in the kitchen) only on Saturday night; when women wore Mother Hubbards :ind when a brick covered with a carpet served as a door-stop; and when congress gaiters were the most stylish shoes. This isn't a sign that you are getting old. It's a sure sign of a good memory. Mitchell Advocate. CREDIT AUCTION SALE of 34 Reg.
