President Editor dnd' $6.00 | OUT-OF-TOWN REPREPENTATIVES: FIXING OF EASTER. This year Easter Sunday falls on the 20th of April, about the best time this great event in Christendom could be commemo- { rated. An Easter in March, when winter is still with us, is not like an Easter in April | come and buds are bursting forth. | For the past few years there has been a strong agitation in England in favor of fixing a definite date for | and the second Sunday in This would bring not earlier than Easter, { April is favored | Been Sunday April 8th and not later than April 14th. | Easter is anything but gatisfactory. | Christmas is fixed definitely.

"SPRING FEVER." | Fever" ever since infancy, and, like many a lazy afternoon on fit. | do you know what causes it? { In an article on "What to Rat in Dr. | of Physical Cluture Magazine, | Mathias D. Nicoll, Jr., wirtes: | "In the winter too many people shut themselves up in overheated | and ill-ventilated houses and offices. {| At the same time they are apt to | {eat too much, and bathe less, than | in warm weather, fire leaves ashes of combustion, the process of chemical reaction in | the body leaves waste materials, or | fatigue produpts." To cleanse the body of thesé win- | {ter ashes in the shortest possible | ttme, according to Dr. Nicoll, foods | containing "Vitamin B" should be | eaten. These include fresh fruits, green vegetables, coarse cereals, and | | "greens" of all sorts. The quantities of meat, pastries, sweets and greasy | | tood should be reduced at this sea- i#om, he says. HARD FIGHT TO "STICK." To the members of the Canadian | National Newspapers and Periodicals | Association, an inspiring message was given recently by the Hon. J. S. | Martin, minister of agriculture in | the Ontario government, when he pointed out that the biggest fight in life was not to reach the top but rather to stay here. "People tell me that I have arriv- ed, that now my reputation is made I shouldn't have to advertise," sald the Hon. Mr. Martin, adding: "But that's where they mike a mistake. It is usually a hard fight to reach the top, but it is even harder to stay there. The man who is a success is hammered at on all sides and he has to work and fight even harder than before to keep the advantage he has won." { In the foregoing statement is a | message for every man in the food- stuff business--manufacturer, whole- saler and retailer, says the Canadian Grocer. a growing bank account may tempt a man to quit to rest on his oars. But, as Mr. Martin points out, thi3 is a dangerous poliey. The struggle to '"'get there" must be succeeded by the struggle to "stay." WRITES ° BEST SELLER. Wholesale booksellers in twenty- five large cities report that the best- selling new novel for the month dot February was the '"Coast of Folly," by Cgningshy Dawson. Dawson will be remembered by many readers as the young author who, after achieving fame with a romantic novel entitled "The Garden Without Walls," enlisted with the Canadian forces in the early part of the war, and who found time be- tween bombardments to write sev- eral of the most popular of the many war books. The Whig well remem- bers meeting Dawson one night at the British-American hotel in thé early days of the war and shortly after the publication of the book that brought him almost instant fame. He had come to Kingston to join a Canadian battery, and qualified here as a lieutenant. He was quartered for some months with his unit at the <1 Cohen building, Cataraqui street. His *'Ooast of Folly," which was published in January, is the first | novel he has written exclusively | about American characters and with an American setting for most of the chapters. Dawson himself wat born in England, but came out to this con- tinent after being graduated from Oxford. » FORCE AND KINDNESS, According to the Darwinian the- ory the fit survive and the unfit go to the wall.

But, strange to say, side by side with the operation of this law, there rups another, its very opposite.

As a matter of fact there are many projects of a productive character which could be undertaken at home, and which would doubtless result in | a considerable alleviation of unem- | ployment. A comprehensive scheme Of electrification is one of the press- ing needs of the day. Harbours and ports require reconsidering, and the whole canal system of the country is hopelessly inadequate and ought to be developed. All these and similar enterprises, besides finding work for many thousands, would lower the cost of production and lead to vast increase in its volume. America, France and Belgium have not walted for the International . situation to right itself before embarking upon such undertakings.

In| fact when he stayed away a day or. {two on account of his Y'nerves * they | | were very sympathetic in the matter | | and advised him that perhaps he was | working too hard. "Now doctor," he said, "as a mat- | ter of fact I don't think I'm working | too hard, do you?" The doctor said "Yes, you are | working too hard, but not for your firm.' | | "What do you mean?" | | "Well, you are a na%™ral born | worrier. You are over conscientious | | about anything. You'd go back to | the office at midnight if you thought ! you had made one little slip. You worry ahout your wife's health, your | | own health, the possibility of your | | losing your position. Am I right?" "Yes," answered the patient. | "Well you can't work day and | | night and expect to do justice to your | work at the office. All this intense | thought, worry, imaginings, are | wearing out your nervous system, | Just the same as if you were doing | | hard mental work. You are an ac- | countant. You have to concentrate | lon your work at the office because you can't afford to make mistakes. | Perhaps during your work in the' office your mind will go off on some [of these things .that are worrying you. Your office work is not so efficiently, or so quickly done under such circumstances. ' Then when you come home there is no mental rest, because your mind goes off and works just as hard on these "self" problems as it does at your work, perhaps even harder, So you see you are really working harder than some of your fellow em- ployees, but it doesn't turn out as much "office work." "What shall I do?" , "You don't need medicine. Just summon your common gense to your hell. It'will show you what a mis- take you are making in trying to do "mental work" day and night. ------ MONEY AT WORK Brief but Imporrant Lessons in Finance, Markets, Stocks, Bonds and Investments /] SEXPERT JUDGES VALUES A- OF LAND B-OF EARNING POWER OF BUILDING A-LAND B-BUILDING A INTEREST _ PAYMENTS " B-SINKING FUND "ie OPERATION OF PROPERTY The réal estate mortgage enjoys one of the best records of any class of investment. .

BROOKS Secretary, American Meteorological Society, Tells How, Wintér Weather and Health. A recent statistical study made by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company shows a clear correlation between low temperatures and the frequency of colds among {ts em- ployees in New York City. The colder the weather, the greater the number incapacitated. Similarly, a committee of the National Research Council, studying the atmosphere and man, found the coldest days in New York followed by a distinct in- crease in the death rate of the city. Leonard Hill, an English investi- gator, has pointed out that cold, dry, windy weather is much more whole- some than chilly, foggy, calm weath- er. "In 1909 Glasgow experienged fogs which appear to demonstrate clearly their effect in increasing the death-rate from respiratory disease; the death rate for that period com- paring unfavorably with seven other towns in Scotland where the condi- tions of life were similar and where the témperature was the same, bi where, owing to' their geographl positions, they had not fog when Glasgow had it."
