thursday november 2bth 1934 the acton free press paoe seven a short sermqn the moderate drinfcej eeems to think because he does not often drink that folks of sense of comse will not regard him as a drunken sot a drunkard why the very thought shocks and disgusts him surely not a drunkjgd be will never be as all rutalends who live will see indeed nobody needs to think he cannotlotalone the drink hell let them know his minds his own rum he cart drink or let alone a moderate drinker only he need sign no pledge to keep ihun free from that which will intoxicate hes not a low inebriate of course he drinks just now and then a social glass with other men he knows just when to stop and so he never takes too much you know and thus the moderate drinker drinks while every day he lower sinks nor sees the danger all are in who thus the drunkards course begin thus gradually the habit grows and that more quickly than he knows the love for liquor weak at first at length becomes a craving thirst at first a single glass would do but later on it changed to two and as his appetite grows stronger he was a little pig no longer the change alas though no surprise to those who saw with open eyes surprised himself who bad not seen the danger he was really in but now he finds alas too late he shares the wretched drunkards fate a moderate drinker he is not- first pig then hog a drunken sot but wtho would dare attempt to say just at what hour or on what day the little pig a hog became and moderation turned to shame text it is as haird to tell when a moderate drinker becomes a drunkard as to tell when a pig becomes a hog orlllla expositor july 3rd 1873 chronicles of ginger farm written specially for the free press by gwendoline p clarke now i wonder why i ever told you in last weeks

not going to be a teport of the convention that is a job for each branch delegate7but rather a wander ing account of my own experiences in cidental to attending the convention first of all i had to get there and since the optimist had been behaving j me have no shrimp sallad then that so badly of late i dare not trust to her nite both of them got indljestlan also for safe transportation so i went by ant emmy bus and on the way delegates from other j teusday pa was reading where branches came aboard and by the tune crime costed the u s all most ten we reached toronto we were quite a

worrying is done uselessly an intelligent mental survey of your problems will avoid it separate the real from the false prob lems and stop worrying t5vr every trouble under the sun theres a remedy or theres none if there is one try to find it if there if none never mind it in thinking of your problems always keep this in -mind- today is the to morrow you worried about yesterday this is an excellent guide for present troubles in the light of past experiences intelligent thoughts solve problems worry only muddles the issue f an old man looking back over his life said tve had a lot of trouble in my life but the most of it never happened face the issues when they are issues or about to become so and stop worry ing youll live longer be happier and be a better citizen better able to take your fair sjiare in the moral social and religious problems of your town if you stop worrying go ahead golden corn syrup a great energy food jhk1fr farmers are still doing fall plough ing another

subject of peace a number of artistic works were submitted comprising a variety of quiet restful scenes some of these depicted mirrorlike waters with their beautiful reflections one painting however represented the dis turbed waters of a precipitous river rushing apparently in every direction crowding furiously among huge rocks and dashing relentlessly over others on the banks wore tallbushes whose branches extended over the stream in one of tiese branches and directly over the most turbulent part of the river sat a bird in her securely fastened nest as tranquilly ita though the menacing noise below were music provided especially for her pleasure and to this picture the prize was awarded socalled material man believes in material disturbances of all sorts while spiritual man knows with experiences only that peace which passeth all human understanding he who believes that abundance is money that employment is labor that health is a condition of matter is not enjoying that peace which comes to one who as a consequence of his constantly using the qualities of mind god that health tea condition of wholesome thinking that supply is influx of divine ideas acknowledge ment and

every street car in the city of toronto went past the hotel that night and in the wee sma hours there were other noises which sounded as if a gang of wreckers were at work on the hotel there was an incessant clang of iron oh cement like wrecking bars being thrown about and i expected every minute to see the royal york collapse like a house of cards with the dawning of day i drop- ped off to sleep and awoke to find the hotol was still intact the next night i slept like a top i was of course dimly conscious of noises in the street but neither wrecking bars nor street cars bad any real power to disturb my slumber they coud wreck the hotel if they had to bill as one burro after checking his goods carefully the agent made his report short one bureau over one jackass tlon you are supposed to be here at the beginning of every session and to stay until the end you arc not here to meet your friends in the city or to go shopping however attractive the stores may be well of course that fixed me no one could possibly sneak out after thu so i sat there and sat there until by 1130 i felt the price of a cup of tei would be cheap at a hundred dollars and yet i was glad to be there i would not have missed hearing miss modermand for anything not even for a cup of tea and that if youll believe me is saying a lot that day we were given complunen- but i was taiv tlcket3 he royal

daily wanter of many things most of which have to be bought from some retailer but to sell the seller must go to the market it is sadly wrongs if and when the seller waits for buyers to go to him this means that the retailer who wants to supply many buyers must take his merchandise in a figurative sense to where buyers are as sembled and theassembly place of buyers men women and children is their news paper in the form of advertisements retailers display their wares every ad vertisement can be likened to a stall these retailers stalls get a close inspec tion of buyers they are scanned to see if they show things of necessity or desire and when the offerings of these stalls are in accord with buyers wants and needs then sales are made the retailer who loses out is he who has no stall no advertisement at this place of assembly his absence from the marketplace represented by the news paper and its advertisements is advantage ous to those who have advertisements in the newspaper the buying public wants its buying transactions made as easy as possible it wants its time and its steps saved it likes to find in the comfort and peace of the- home what sellers have to offer in the home
