In Time of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia-Japan
war we had a striking example of the
necessity for preparation and the early
advantage of those who, so to speak,
''have shingled their roofs in dry
weather" The virtue of preparation
has made history and given to US our
greatest men. The individual as well
as the nation should be prepared for
any emergency. Are you prepared to
take? A cold can be cured much more
quickly when treated as soon as it has
been contracted and before it has be-
fore it has become settled in the system.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is famous
for its cures of colds and it should be
kept at hand ready for instant use.

The students of the high school have
.organized society and formulated
rules, under which they will conduct
their social entertainments during the
winter The society has assumed the
name of "The Dancing club of Students

the time of dancing is limited to the

given on Saturday night nor on any

order to establish feeling of equality
among those attending, all the students
must refrain from unnecessary ex-
penses as the hiring of hacks and in
dulging in lunches or midnight suppers.
No dance will be given without a
chaperon, who shall have power to
close the dance at any time. No pro-
grams are to be issued except by the
secretary of the society. No smoking
nor using of tobacco in any form will
be tolerated within the hall, cloak
room, or corridors, during the time of
dancing or intermission The parents
Of students are at all times welcome.
Any person violating these rules or not
conducting himself with propriety shall
be excluded from future dances given
by this society. These rules were
drawn up by the following committee:

Last Wednesday afternoon, Fred S.
Goodman, of New York, who is direct
ing the religious work of the Young
Mems Christian association, gave us a
most excellent talk on character. He
said it is more important to make life
than a living. The great method of
making character is to have an ideal in
mind. A man is that which he thinks.
The second method is discipline. Self
restraint and self-control makes a
strong man. Home, school and COM
radship influence the character and
we should be choice of our friends.
We are continually scratching deeper
and deeper into the engraving which is
going to make our character. The
three motives for having character are,
to succeed in life in the best way, to
please our parents and friends, and the
third and greatest motive is to please
the Creator.
