Indoient Genius.

Incidence has produced good many
works of genius. James Thomson not
only wrote his famous Seasons" but
also very characteristic poem called
'"The Castle of Incidence" He was
himself one Of the most indOlent of
men. It is said that he was too lazy
to stretch out hand to pick a peach
from the wall, but simply stopped anc
pecked at it where it hung. But Wheth-
err that is q libel or the truth, it is
certain that most of his poetry was
composed in q recumbent position. He
always wrote best in bed!

Can Only Be Sure OF Today.

Today is your day and mine; the
only day we have; the day in which
we play our part. What our part
may si&aify in the great whole we
may not understand but we are here
to play it, and now is our time.
1t is part Of love, not cynicism. 1t
is for us to express love in terms Of
human helpfulness. This we know, for
we have learned from sad experience
that any other source Of life leads to-
ward decay and Waste.-David Starr

FOOD REGULATION A SUCCESS
AND A BENEFIT.

When the British Food Controller
in hotels and restaurants last April,
and to reduce the costs of meals to
customers, the British hosts limited
darkly at the ruinatiOn Of their bust
nesses, and declared that the keeping
of a food register involved accounting
detail which was an inSuperable task.
Now, ten months later, it is shown
that regulation has been a success.
Where 10 to II ounces of uncooked
meat were formerly allowed per meal
for each customer, the quantity has
been cut down to 6 ounces each at
lunch and dinner, with 2 ounces for
breakfast and even less meat would
involve no hardship. Accounting was
troublesome at first, but the hotel and
restaurant men now admit that lnfOr.
nation secured has been of great ben
eft to them in O. systematic conduct
of their business. Where they for
merly ran in haphazard fashion, it is
now possible to adjust supplies to
probable consumption and effect great
economies Waste has been almost
entirely eliminated and the wider cost
of food counterbalanced, thus ena-
bling hotels to maintain old prices
and hold their customers. If the Pub
lie Meals Register required in war
times were abolished most proprietors
would continue something of the kind.
