Shadows. 1Aght and shade; we need them both; without them we would have 20 contrasts--no shadows. Life would be a monotonous proposition. Light and shade--how they set off a painting--and give it depth, per- spective, color. In music how light and ghade help interpret the mood of the composer. It is the same with poetry. They give beauty to the distant mountain range, grandeur to the sea, and majesty to the high-piled clouds of summer. Light and shade--they go togeth- er. But don't forget if you leave the light on BE SURE TO DRAW THE SHADE. ~--Maxine Udell. Strange though it may be, every family tree must have its sap. Wally the Mystic.

Much heat is wasted by allowing soot to accum- ulate on these parts of the furnace. Keep them clean and you will have more warmth from 'the coal you burn. There are scores and scores of furnaces in houses in Kingston which are given a bad name hecause they do not heat the houses. But to get heat you must burn fuel, and many householders are burning only six tons of coal in 'their furnaces when probably nine tons are requir- ed to heat them properly. There are people who boast of burning ouly a few tons of coal dur- ing a winter, but the atmosphere in some homes is found to be about fif- teen degrees above the freezing point, "Smile and speak first" is a good motto all. right, but some of the girls would give you a freezing look if you tried fit. in the west it is declared to be' illegal to sell gasoline on Sun- day.
