It was hot this summer, in the country, too, but you have the soft valleys, the mountain .tops, the cooling, cooling, waters,, the forest shade for those of simple heart. Those, who had to remain in cities sizzled and at night, says a city writer, one could see night after night, thousands of men, Women and children lying prone on the earth on Fletcher?s Field, lying heads and tails--all . in heaps ; inert, limp, asking only one thing rest and surcease from the furnace blasts of the niill, the cessaryr to recruit a,battalion. . r . .. .. . . . . . do not fit young m<m ea|kt?

Fortunately such cases diers right now. Men Can not be ore more, the èxception than the rule, trained: fast enough to make up the yet at the same time there are many wasteage at the front. Several young other persons who, while not going to men, good and worthy, have skid-they such extremes in the. blindness of would go. when, needed; Surely they thehr personal antipathies, are still must see that the need is very great unfair enough to nurse their grouches right now.

Why themselves. m * m + do riot more men see their prescrit Disturbers of the peace are. ever with us, and prie or. two agitators duty arid sign up ?

Are not the young men about town willing to do their share? or will they let the sacrifices made by their friends be lost? - *'**♦ Furthermore, what excuse will the. young: men. offer ; to the returned wounded soldier for not- standing by him and backing up his efforts. If the war is not a complete victory for the allies, but has to be settled by arbitration, arbitration, influenced largely by Germany, Germany, will not the finger of Scorn be pointed. .to the ÿoungmen, arid will J not the now faint murriiuriugs of ' "yellow streak" and "White feather" grow into a veritable hurricane ? Many young men have npt even considered enlisting, and, moreover, their names are not to be found on the patriotic or Red Cross - lists, although although their wages have been doubled, doubled, due to the war. Young men of Ontario, may this Canada of ours not prove ah uncomfortable uncomfortable place for those who do not aid her in her need ? Much to be preferred, is it not, to have one's name engraved on a. soldier's monument monument than to have. failed one's motherland motherland ? Why should the riien who have been through fierce battles and. been wounded, some of them three and four times, lain for weeks in hospitals hospitals and then as soon as recovered are serit back, again to the front, while thousands of men just as able are enjoying all the comforts of home and plenty ? There is no adequate adequate answer. Every riian Pf fighting age owes it to his country to fight/for it when the call , for men comes. That call is very loud in Caflada now. V * * * s' * wages have been directly responsible for lessened efficiency on the part of labor. : Instead of taking advantage of the ratés to . save money or better tlieir conditions, a large portion of the workingmen take holidays after they have earned a sum equal to their ; usual weekly wage, and even While 'at Work, according to the employers, they are becoming lazy and independent." independent." The present industrial situation situation is fraught with menace and danger, and the present conditions of unrest and agitation threaten the welfare welfare of industry and commerce." . : - - i The easiest thing to do is to ber a- grouch. Any person can qualify in a day. The state of the liver often rules the. temper and a bad condition of the temper often makes a grbuch. The Guardian last week told of a newspaper, in Ontario that is evidently evidently edited by a real grouch. Evidence was found in the! editorials that the editor was dissatisfied with conditions all round hirii. Hé evidently saw the world through blue goggles. It is not easy to believe that muchf of our happiness in life is" sèlf-inflicted, yet a careful study of conditions as they exist to-day force us to'such a conclusion. conclusion. It may be our present manner manner of living, or it riiay be soriie phase of dissatisfaction inflate in the human heart and which has developed gradually from generation to generation, generation, or it may be even pure contrariness contrariness of spirit which accounts for our -discontent, but whatever the cause we cannot help knowing tjiat as a whole the human race is not as happy nor as light-hearted as it might be. So many persons go through life with a chip, on their shoulders, so many have a grouch of their own creation! either against a féllQW.-bè : mg. or a condition • which, does riot, please them, Many péo^e suffer the.toitures of lame baeinvàdedthé WÜôle To arrest rtiemnatiam it ik quite aa r important important to improve you): geneï^tl héaïth as to purify your' blood, ' ffnd ! the cod llver 1 oilm Stott's Emulsion is nature's_great J>lpod-maker, while its medicinal nourish- ment strengthens the.Prgans to ékpel the impurities ' arid upbuild 1 yotir strength; .

Place your or$£r at once with m That; the above charge is true is the more regrettable when we find by thé reports on the. state of labor in the same country similar conditions being found in Canada that during thé past year an increase in wages amounting to from three hundred to four hundred hundred millions . of dollars has been made. Most large establishments and many small ones give a half holiday on Saturday. At no time in history has there been so much care to make the shops sanitary and pleasant for the eiriployëes. Many factories employ employ a trained nurse who has an oversight oversight of all employées. Also a physician physician is always on call, for the employe employe and his family, at the company's company's expense. A hospital is maintained maintained in thé factory building of many plants. Where women are employed employed there are ample rest rooms and facilities - for recreaton. Provision is made for warm meals at nominal cost arid apparently eveiything possible possible is being done to make labor conditions conditions healthful arid pleasant. Some large concerns have the profit-sharing profit-sharing plan. * . * * * All can, but rejoice that the welfare departments of great industrial concerns concerns are so active for the benefit of helpers, and" one would naturally infer infer that such outlay of money and care for workers would be attended with the greatest loyalty arid harmony harmony on the part of the beneficiaries; but what are the records again? Statistics of Labor Bureaus show that there were 1,432 labor strikes in the first six months of 1916, which was 39 more than for the whole year 1915. At the present writing 40,000 railroad employes are demanding concessions which if granted will increase thèir wages one hundred _ million dollars a year. These men represent only 38 per cent, of the total railroad em ployes. No doubt there is a call for increased wages to meet the increased increased cost of living and less strenuous hours of toil, in order that the moral, social and physical conditions of labor should be bettered. But in the face of all that employers are doing for the betterment of all classes of workers ii it not surprising that the number of strikes are increasirig so terribly ? It has often been said that the more you do for children the more they want. The same rule seems to apply to others thari children. * * * * In a large spruce, tree on thé lawn of a neighbor we have for some years watchéd in summer time the activities of a comriiuriity of ants that in spite of the owner's efforts to exterminate the busy arid determined workers they still bring the sawdust out of an aperture and dump it over "the edge. Wè do not know if they have an order of "shifts" or not but the work goes, on night and day. The Scripture -says to us, "Go to the ant, thou sluggiafd;" Truly these busy little little ants have preached us many a ser mon, for. they V are . hustlers.
