As It Should Be.

Lord Robert Cecil stated in the British house
Of commons that the Germans had levied
trfbutions to a total of $46600O,OOO upon Belgium,
besides enormous fines upon localities, firms and
individuals These monstrous exactions, added the
British minister, must certainly be taken into
count when peace terms are being arranged.
The question in every mind is whether Belgium
has not paid in the awful devastation of its country
and the unmerciful treatment of its people" heavy
enough toll already. This is good example of Ger
man rule, nay tyranny, over conquered territory.

Canning DOn'tS.
Don't use artificial pTeserYativCs
or canning compounds" They
are not only harmful to health, but
unnecessary when using the cold

Don't use anything dirty-inside

and securing to make things clean.
Don't ignore directions in any de-
tail. If you haven't time to can

The sentiments expressed by Bishop Thomas

conference yesterday cannot be too often reiter-
ated. The danger he referred 70 is that Of bring
ing about an fnconclusive peace. Haven't we had
enough Of war to lead some to favor what may on
the surface appear TO be d means to an end is
the propaganda OF the Stacker and pacifist. but
which in reality would leave the great issue of the
war still unsetted?"
The bishop puts the case wisely and well when
he says: The greatest danger which threatens the
world today is that some fool peace propaganda Will

A War Time Vacation.
NOTED R

Just because l am not quite old
enough yet to play golf or retire
from active life l do not condemn
golf as a pastime for Father and
Uncle Joe and the Older Girls. In
these parlous times, however,
young fellows of 35 or 60 really
need a little exercise to balance the
metabolism, as well as pleasant rec
reation. For such young men l
urge the plan which is now being
adopted by various bar associations
and business mems clubs-spend-
ing the summer vacation working
en- the farm.
Of course as oft, Overpadded, ov-
ernourished, auto-intoxicated pro-
fessional or business man cannot
go out and earn a hired mans pay
on the farm. Farmers naturally
won't pay any such wages for half
time help. But for such men as
can persuade needy farmers to take
them in and give them their keep
in return for a few weeks of ANA
teur labor, here is an ideal plan in
deed
To work and sweat and get tuck
cred completely out and have your
neck sunburned and your hands
hlistered and sleep like log and
eat like a horse and slough off sew
eral pounds of Stacker flesh and be
lame and muscle-sore and get over
it and feel like a fighting cock, that
IS what I should call an ideal vaca-
ton. And no expense at all, And,
by gosh, doing your little bit to
help Hoover, tool To pitch hay,
and drink gallons Sf water and
train for threshing day, and come
back home dee-li2hted.
For men around middle age one
of the gravest dangers is the &C
quirement of drug habituation-al-
cOhOl or tobacco Men acquiring
drug habituation loudly declare
that they use their favorite drug
temporarily or moderately and are
not at all enslaved to it's use. But
let them prove it. Let them voIun-
tarily struggle through a day or
two occasionally without the sus-
tenance Of the usual indulgence
They soon learn whether they are
dependent on the. drug if they try
this little self-deniaI test.

The gain in national efficiency as the result of
the time liquor restrictions, is great that it
is certain Great Britain will never return to the old
ways The regulations limiting the hours of sale
have resulted in remarkable decreases in drunken
ness; and crime incidental TO excessive drinking;
there has also been general decrease of about So
