For rhose Who Wish to Reduce.

Do you always take every opportu-
nifty to walk when you can? If it
is matter of several blocks, do you
take car when it is possible? Take
every opportunity to walk, but walk
as If you really enjoyed it; put some
energy in to this exercise. Really make
it an exercise. Do not eat more than
one starchy food at a meal, drink
plenty of water, but between meals,
and, above all, eat enough to allay
hunger, but stop there; do not con-
tinue as if you were never going to
get another meal instead of one quite
as heavy in another four or five hours.
Another thing, sleep with plenty of
fresh air circulating in your sleeping
room and if you are very stout do
with just sugcient sleep, and above
all omit the nap in the middle Of the
day.

TOOK POSSESSION OF HOUSE
crowning Eccentricity of Englishwom-
ans Life, That Was Filled With
Eccentrictes.

In an old book published N Paris un-
der the title of lie Journal dun Voy-
age au Levant," there is an amusing
account of the way il which Lady
Hester Lucy Stanhope, the eccentric
English traveller, took possession of
the house at Djoun, where eventually
she made her permanent home.
She was pleased with the house and
it's surrounding gardens, and accepted
an invitation to dinner. AS she sat af-
ter dinner, with the owner, a Christian
merchant, he said to her that if she
liked the place, he should be glad if
she would stay the night. When she
said that she liked it SO much that
she would stay there the rest of her
days, he took it as polite figure Of
speech; but fortnight later, as she
still prolonged her visit, he suggested
that Europe might be expecting her
return.
81 do not intend to return" she re-
piled, carelessly.
"Ah, then you intend to build a pal
ace in the neighborhood?" said he.
NO, this house suits me very WELL"
But / cannot let it or sell it, mi
lady"
Il do not wish to hire it or buy it,
but intend to keep it," was the start
ling reply.
In this dilemma the merchant dis
patched a messenger posthaste to
Emir Beshyr, who sent word to Lady
Hester that she must give up the
house Lady Hester, however, wrote
to Constantinople, whence a courier
came to the emir, bearing the order,
"Obey the princess Of Europe in ev-
erything."
So the disgusted merchant fed, leav-
ing her ladyship in possession. There
for 20 years she lived the life of a
recluse, growing more and more with
drawn from the world, and more ac-
customed to dwell in mental and
spiritual realm of her own creation,
until she died, and was buried in the
garden of the house that she had
usurped.

SUCCESS MUST BE EARNED
Earnest, Intelligent Effort, With In
dustry, Will Set One Well on the
Path to the Goal.

Most men who have amounted to
anything started with nothing but abil-
ity and determinations combination
which recognizes no man-made limita-
tions.
Any kind of work is better than idle
ness, which is directly responsible for
most of the unhappiness in this world.
Idleness is a dangerous thing; it
may grow into habit that might stick
to you after you get back in harness,
and the man who loafs on his job is
only fooling himself.
Eternal, intelligent effort is the price
of commercial growth, and where
there is no progression there is bound
to be retrogression. Business is some
thing like aeroplaning;. to stop is to
drop and to drop is generally to bust.
Pin your faith to the law of CON-
pensation, but don't take any stock in
the law of chance; there's no such
thing. Waiting for something to turn
up in the belief that things are bound
to come your way eventually is throw
ing dice with fate. Many a good dog
never got decent bone until his teeth
were gone.

DR. PARKER'S TWO SERMONS

A Characteristic story of DR.. Parker
was told by a minister who had it
from an old minister who was much
interested in Joseph Parker's early
work as a local preacher, says the
British Weekly. One Saturday he met
Parker and asked him whether he had
an engagement for Sunday. Yes"
was the reply.
Are your sermons ready, Joseph?"
asked the minister.
II have the morning sermon" was
the reply but l am not sure about
the evening"
Wv ell, Joseph, what is your text for
the morning and how do you treat it?"
Parker went over his text and the
outline Of his sermon.
But, Joseph said the minister,
that is very clever, but It is not the
real meaning of the text If you will
look at the commentaries you will see
that You are wrong"
Parker thanked him and went his
way. On the Monday the minister
again met his friend.
wv ell, Joseph, how did you get on
yesterday"
Very we'll" was the reply.
How did you manager"

If the country is to prosper, it must

of the City Urbanitis in the minis
try, and urbanitis in the schools is one
great cause of this present exodus.
Plans for counteracting this urbanitis
and it's effect on our young life will be
presented for discussion at the Coun'
try Life Conference as part OF the
rural problem in the solving of which
the country church and it's ministers
should take a vital part.
In truth, the Rural Minister has
difficult condition of affairs to meet.
Country Life has changed and is still
changing. Although some churchmen
vaguely realize this, many do not make
a study of the problem, nor attempt to
analyze it. So there is a complaint
that the Church is not fulfilling its
obligations to the community, and for
that reason is losing ground. Old or.
ganizations and customs have died out,
and new ones which seem to supplant
the Church have taken their place;
with the result. that the Church to an
alarming extent has lost its hold upon
the people.

A certain English butcher, who sold

said his loss was formerly 40 per
cent and now only 20 per cent in
the electric oven, or a clear saving
of IS per cent. After deducting the
cost Of the current at two cents per
unit, his Saving amounted to 80 cents
per leg of pork, or SIS per week extra

only saved water, he answered: per
