Most of your thoughts of the past are vain regrets. But why not centre on making op- portunities for yourself now? "Too old to make a _ start.' Is your opinion so firmly entrenched in your sub-conscious mind that you can) not limber up your thoughts enough | to see a good opportunity now when |} you get it? You have passed up as good oppor- | tunities as you will have, just in the} past two or three years, because you} are past the prime of life. | You always say, now, "if I were a! little younger." : Get out of the habit of thinking | backward. Do not waste time looking behind | . or waste precious moments given you} to see the great things you might ac-) complish in the future if you were | really. awake to the fact that it 'S| not age that counts so much as at- titude. There are many ways in which you could better your position. If you have your faculties and can eat three meals a day, you ought to have brains enough to take your op- portunities as fast as they are pre- sented. £ PRINTING FRATERNITY LOST ONE OF ITS PIONEERS The printing fraternity has lost one of its pioneers in the death of Jo- seph Carlin, which occurred this past week. "Joe' as he was familiarly known had been employed as a print- er in Stratford for better than 40 years in the Stratford Herald, Strat- ford Beacon and Stratford Beacon- Herald. He was one of the most popular members of the craft and was one whose genial personality made him a general favorite with all who ness way. His death came as a great shock to his friends as while he had been ill there was no intima- tion that his-illness was likely to prove serious. His remains were fol- lowed by a large concourse of friends to the little cemetery at St. Colum- ban where the other members of his family lie at rest. It is just such straightforward hard working men that form the bulwark of the nation and the death of any of them before their time is a cause of mourning.

Boy: "Show 'im yer tooth, Al- bert." As the joke was heard at a neigh- boring town hall: "There's something wrong with these rabbits you sold me. They have the hiccoughs." Electric Refrigeration It is a well known fact that the ordinary ice box does not provide satisfactory solution of the problem of keeping foods fresh. Bacteria multiply very rapidly in temperatures over 50 degrees Fahrenheit and a simple test will convince you that ice is not sufficient to keep your refrigerator below this danger line. The Kelvinator is the last word in scientific refrigeration. Temperatures are kept well below 50 degrees by an automatic heat control. Built too, of the very finest materials, it re- quires no attention from the time you have it installed. The surprisingly low price of a Kelvinator has been brought about by enormous production and this saving is now passed on to the customer. We have in stock models to suit every household both in complete cabinets and in sizes to fit your own refrigerator. HYDRO SHOP Phone 1278 The People's Store.

Selecting a Color. Bedroom decorative schemes usual- ly take rose, blue, mauve or gold as the basic color, with another color as secondary. So it is that bed spreads, comforters, towels, rugs and window hangings are designed in sympathetic tones. Care and discrimination in se- lection of the various requirements will produce a very excellent effect at small cost. Always, it is necessary to keep in mind the finish of the bed- room suite, as it has a decided influ- ence upon complimentary fittings. Walunt the Favorite Wood. --How It Is Finished After a piece of furniture has been constructed in the "white," as $16 called, it is then sent to the finish- ing department where it is stained to the required tone. After being thoroughly dried, a filler coat is ap plied to ciose the pores and produce a perfectly smooth surface. An appli- cation of shellac is then given which forms a base for the 'several coats of varnish or lacquer, whichever, in the judgment of the maker, is the bet- ter. High grade varnish has been, and still is, the most commonly used material] for this purpose on bedroom furniture. It is not the varnish which produces the tone of a piece of fur- niture, but the stain beneath the var- nish or lacquer. Varnish is made from wood gums, jJargely imported from a aye and which is prepared in liqu orm * for application to wood or other sur- 80 Ontario Street. faces.
