Proper IIiustraticn.

It is mistake ayers the IlluIninat- ing Engineer Society, to use d bright light against dark background, and while an artistic fixture is well enough as decora tion, yet lamps which ill themselves are good and suitable will not be satisfactory from a hygienic standpoint unless the fixtures are in the right position. In planning the il. lumination of room it is only collf- mon sense to determine just what yor are going t0 use that room for. ans' then to arrange the lighting. By do- ing this it should be possible for pet,- pie of middle age to add years of eX- cellent eyesight which otherwise would soon diminish. Where children of various ages are in family the matter Of artificial light is of great inn portance. The general health of a growing boy or girl may be seriously affected by careless lighting. especial ly in rooms where they read or study their lessons.

This morning a woman was here browsing around. She looked over the entire stock. 1 thought 1 had a customer. After she finished the rounds she remarked: oh. I nearly forgot. Have you any post age stamps?' I said yes and asked her how many she wanted. She hai.ded me wrapped newspaper and asked how much I thought it ought to have to carry it to it's destination. l weighed the darned thing and told her a cent would be sufficient.

Rich Man Knows Not What lie Wants

The Woman's Home Companion has an article in which this passage oc- CUTS: "The nuisance for the man who has acquired great financial resources usually is that he doesn't know what he wants. Possessing the resources and feeling the moral necessity to have recourse to them, he looks about for something to want, and he selects the most costly thing. The acquisl- tion of this most costly thing always involves, in practice. the separation of the rich man from society. Thus, he will acquire a large estate, or sev- eral large estates, and cut himself off from the world by gates, doors, miles of drive, iodgekeepers. menials and secretaries. Or he will acquire g. O00-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic privately, though less quickly, less comfortably and even less privately than on great liner. Or he will keep private orchestra, instead of being seen at concerts. All which. though magnificent, is antisocial and silly, and is secretly felt to be so by the rich man when he happens to wake up in the middle of the night and can't go to sleep again."

up. but never succeeds in doing SO. Therefore, the pleasures which he buys with the excessive expenditure of money are more than counter balanced by the worries that come from being continually hard up.
 These thoughts are pertinent at this Christmas time, because of all the holidays Of the year this is the one when all men and all women should enjoy the blessings of mental peace. There should be no clouds in the sky of their own making. Each day, therefore, some of us find ourselves worried over debts which are the penalty of past extravagances. Let us resolve that we shall cease these thriftless habits.
 First, take paper and pencil and add up all the moneys you have re- ceived during the year 1916. Then, as far as possible, add up your ex- penditures, iternized with as great accuracy as you can command. If you are too thriftless to even do this, you are in bad way. IT you do take hold of yourself sufficiently to bravely look facts in the face, you have made a start and have won the first fight.
 Now. you will find that your ex- penditu-es are possibly greater thar your income and that is why you are in debt. You know pretty we'll what your income will be for the year 197 Make out definite budget for that
