All having to do with production, whether the individuals who toil with their hands or those who labor solely with their brains, are to be considered as workers, Production requires them all; each has his place in it; each is eu- titled to a just share of the proceeds. Plainly all must suffer when there is lack of harmony in any branch of industry. The entire machine is affected eventually, and "hard times" are tnevitable.

The population of Australia is less than two thirds than that of Canada, yet its national debt is about the same as that of the Dominion. Great DBri- tain with a population nine times that of Canada, has a national debl nearly twenty-five times that of ours. For generations those words have stirred conflicting 1mpulses in the chests of boys and girls throughout the world. No, not throughout the world either, for in many parts of the glgbe school never opens and education is unknown. But, happily, throughout <Canada those words, "school opens next week," aro famil- jar to the ears of every boy aud girl. To the majority of young Cana dians, the words are not weicomed. Youth is always ready for a change. After a summer without schoul, most youngsters are ready to give it an- other, trial. The boy thinks of the fun He is going to have amd' of the néw pranks he is going to piay. The girl thinks of new surroundings, new acquaintances and the renewal of friendships of last year. Then tc both it will be interesting to get ac- guainted with the new teacher and there are new books, new studies and interesting things to learn. Again there is the chance to get a new start and a determination lo keep ahead or at least abreast of lie rest of the class this year. But unfortunately, the call to the reopening of school is repuisive to some boys and girls. Some feel that 2 they have all the education that is necessary. One boy hes as much schooling as his father had and "Dad" has gotten along pretty well, Another hss a job that is paying, quite well, so what is the use to waste time and lose money by going to school! This girl secs no use to | go to school and more s0 long as she doesn't have to work for a living. and another just doagn't want to go because she can't &@ve the clothes and automobiles 'that other gicls have. Maybe she has an opportunity at least the pretty clothes. A sad mistake they are making Drop those ideas and go back to school.

So the sustenance is different. Because of the distinctive charac- teristics of his creed, and because of ! its fitness for him, he resents out- side interference. son about it; he becomes as St. said are many people creeds that have with from outside, all those who cherish these points emulate St. Faul as he was before he wrestled with the angel. They are all exceedingly mad. Therefore, unless one be seeking trouble, one must go about on tiptoe among the creeds. He will not de- nounce any of them. He will not pick out one creed to extol it above others. that annoys. He will talk of a creed as in itself a fact, and will state' what its words mean as those who hold to the creed themselves explain it. He on tiptoe all the time, however, and watching himself lest he venture to comment. His utterances will be safeguarded by quotlation marks from the beginning to the end. It is true that by pursuing this method dexterously, he can bring considerable analysis to light. He can present items of the same creed to the reader, each time with a com- pany of quotations behind it, exhibit ing what believers in the creed de- clare'it means, and can let the reader see that the statements contradict the common knowledge of mankind, and are, besides, out of harmony with each other. A writer must be rather neat to do this without offending. He must have much control of his own tend- encies, must have himself 'well in hand, must have poise to escape put- ting himself into what he writes. If he can use language so adroitly and make his- selections with such dis- crimination that any opinion that is obviously his own does not appear, he will make his point and will not offend, although as the colloguial phrase has it, he may "start some- thing." Individuals, churches, communi- ties, political parties and nations, races and peoples are sensitive about creeds, are ill-disposed to argue dn open court about them, and are prone to quarrel about them. This, as above stated, is partly because a creed is a personal treasure. It is also because argument. has for its basis logic, while the basis of most creeds is faith. Faith comes first. It is pure as- sumption. It may be faith in tradi- tion, faith in the teaching of par- 'ents, faith in ancient manuscripts, faith in the authenticity of the manu- scripts, faith in the accuracy of the translators of the manuscripts. faith in one's own mental powers, in one's infallibility to determine what texts are and which arc not inspired, or just plain, simple, complete, un- doubted confidence in one's own in- tellect and instinets. This last is the faith that is most general, though not the most genérally realized and recognized faith. Upon this faith rest all the creeds. The rest is easy. Having once laid down the foundation as absolute and dogmatic, logic comes on and the superstructure rises gracefully. It is reasonable; it is logical once the foundation is accepted, and the foua- dation being a matter of faith is be- yond reason. Reason is to let that alone. Assaulting a creed then is a good thing not to do. Reason is not the weapon that ever destroys a creed. Creeds do die, of course, though like Charles II. they are, as that mon- arch apologetically, "an uncon- scionable time a-dyivg." When they do pass away, it is through inaui- tion. They starve. No creed dics as long as tne particular nourish- ment it needs is sufficiently abund- ant. If the pourishment is plenti- ful, the creed will live forever. Logic cannot touch it. It is well to hold this in mind when discussing the many ciceds into which each religion is divided and subdivided. There arc more than 300 creeds existing legally in United States. Logic will never hinder any of them. If any perishes it will be through starvation, through having no nourishment. Each wil! be precious to someone as long as it has life, and he who would not of- fend will do well to tread softly and restrain his self-expression.

Barton, M.D, After Vacation--What? You are back from vacation and have startad the routine of work again. You say that you have "lost" so much time that you'll have to get down to steady work and make i. up. Did it ever occur to you that such an idea is really foolish? You have been in the great out- doors. You have accustomed your heart and lungs to the rare air and sunshine that has rejuvenated your whole being. You have been feciing unusually good. Back from this you come, and breathe the close stuffy air of the in- doors. You find the first few nights after returning that you can hardly breathe, as the house seems so close. Now why did you feel so good dur- ing the vacation? Why did even the canned goods you were forced to eat seem like a real treat? Why did you sleep sc soundly that you were often a bit late for break- fast? All just because of the outdoor air. You see you take so many ounces of air into your tissues every day in order to burn up thesa tissues. is this burning up of your tissues that mantfactures the heai to keep all parts of your body alive. That is, your various juices with their various ° purpcses, and tbe maintenance of the tissues them- selves. Further, this air burned up you: waste material for you, and that is the reason you felt so good. The outdoor air, because of its purity, makes a better job of burning up the waste. So when you come back to your indoor work---all day inside--and then to bed again--indoors, the wastes that spould be burned up by exercise and by the ouiside air, re- main as wastes in the body. Do you wonder that you fstuffy"' and that the room "stuffy." Now what am you?? Simply that you should not con- sider vacation as time lost, and try to make it up by extra work. Further, that you should remem- ber what the outdoor air did for you, and do your best to get some of it everyday combined with cxercise, like walking. And still (further, to keep your bedroom windows open and thus during the night, the outside air may come in and bless you, by removing some of the wastes of the body. These wastes are really poisons and should not be retained. it feel feels I trying to show I Henry Ford keeps on dabbling in politics, Ford garages may yet supplant the country postoffice as headquarters . for the dissemina- tion of political wisdom.
