JACK was earning $75 a week. They had a fine apartment, lots of friends. Life was one continuous party. Then Jack took sick. Firstan appendix; then, as he was getting over that, "flu" set in and pneumonia developed. Jack was laid up for 15 weeks. Of course, he hadn‘t a penny saved, so his friends and his wife‘s parents had tocome to their financial assistance. But that wasn‘t all. If Jack had died he would have had to be buried at somebody else‘s expense. Why? Because he and his wife were both living for today and spen every penny that he earned. His illness taught him a lesson. He now owns $20,000of Confederation Life Insurance. It only costs him $12.50 a weekâ€"but it insures a life competence to Mary. 151 Head O : TORONTO onfederation Life They were living in a Fool‘s Paradise c. macponaLo Inc. _ , ZJGâ€"~ZAG Bookattached to every‘ package If you are married and are earning $75 a week, or more, you should own at least $20,000 of life insurance.

Now from proâ€" vincial headquarters come further parâ€" ticulars of the selections made for the big trip. l i l |.* 4 "A 446 Ah Ssome months ago, in order to fairly apportion the Willingdon trips amongst the Scouts of Ontario, the Provincial Jamboree Committee divided Ontario | into fifteen special "Jamboree" districts. The first fourteen of these contained approximately 500 Scouts each and the fifteenth (the District of Toronto) | about 4,000 Scouts. From each of t.het first 14 it was announced that one sScout would be selected for a free trip to the Jamboree and that eight wouldl be chosen from the District of Toronto. | Selections have now been completed in all districts except that of Toronto and the names of the lucky Scouts chosen to make the Jamboree trip are now made public for the first time. In the list sent out by the provincial headquarters the first named Scout in each of the first fourteen Jamboree disâ€" tricts will go to England with all exâ€" penses paid from Viscount Willingâ€" don‘s Fund. In districts where more than one Scout is listed, the additionâ€" al Scout or Scouts are to go to Engâ€" land with expenses paid by their local Scout organizations or from other sources. In all cases, however, the same high standards have been applied in making the final selections. The list shows the Boy Scouts for each of the fifteen districts (including Toronto}. For Jamboree district No. 6, the following are listed: King‘s Scout J. Hodder Stovel, Jr., 1st Dome Mines Troop, South Poreuâ€" pine. PB Sas t a i e * _ _ _ l King‘s Scout Alex Stewart, 3rd.

RICE KRISPIES JUsT pour milk or cream in a bowl of golden brown Rice Krispies and your own ears will tell you how crunchy every toasted bubâ€" ble is. So crisp it actually ecrackles out loud! "Talkies" Apparently Are Not So New After All It was a wise man who said, "There is nothing new under the sun." â€"A couple of years ago letter in The Advance from reader bore the nom de plume of "Thirty Years a Motorist," and some auto drivers raised howl that motor cars had not been invented for thirty years, but The Advance was able to show that the motor idea was many times that old and that the corâ€" respondent had actually worked in sort of motor factory some thirty years before. Now, a reader who noted reâ€" ferences in The Advance to the idea that the "talkie" movie to be produced here would be the first "talkie" proâ€" eE tE ECC the following clipping from The Manâ€" chester Guardian, of Manchester, Eng. to show that the "talkie" idea is not so young as some young fellows think. There are many young lads who are inclined to think that the sun never started to shine so strong nor the rain to come down so hard before they were born. Against this theory is the story, centuries old, about Joshua, and the gentleman called Noah. As one more sample of "nothing new under the sun," read this from a correspondent in The Manchester Guardian: Try the recipes on the package. Rice Krispies are delicious in dozens of ways. At your grocer‘s. Made by Kellogg in London, Ontario. "I was very much interested to read in your Manchester notes of the 16th of a correspondent remembering talkie films in Manchester 16 or 17 years ago. I remember them well. They included such items as dogs and the breaking of plates, and were as he states shown at the Oxford Picture House. I, however, can go farther back than that time. ‘ Nearly thirty years ago, before picture palaces were built all over England la.nd the pictures were shown as part of a music hallturn, I remember seeing at the old Palace Theatre a film deâ€" picting the return of the:C., I. V. from the South African War. The train was shown entering the station, and the noise of the train could be heard and the cheering of the crowds. The other film was a turnout of the fire brigade, ‘when the clatter of the horses and the tclanging of the bells could be heard. ‘The next film of this sort I saw in \Manchester was the one shown at the Oxford Picture House 12 or 13 years Mater." + JAPAN USES NEW OLD IDEA REGARDING TYPE OF PRISON Recently there have been many disâ€" cussions of new forms of prison reâ€" form looking to the idea of making priâ€" soners earn money while serving terms so that their familiee may be kept othewise than at the expense of the community. Japan has revamped an old idea to new uses in this respect. The Pathfinder refers to the matter in the following paragraph: "By converting an old warâ€"ship into a prison ship, Japan has taken a moâ€" dern step toward an ancient custom. This prison ship, however, is different. Only youthful delinquents are ACccomâ€" modated, and they are taught navigaâ€" tion, fishing and other occupations of the sea so that at the end of their prison terms they will be more useful to society and will increase the marine power of Japan." l So-me'ext.racts from the address are interesting. One paragraph, for in â€" stance, clearly indicates that the reâ€" markable personality of Sir John A. endeared him, as a man, even to those who disagreed with him on political grounds. The paragraph reads: "Many of us have fought under the same political banner with yourself for a lifetime; others in our ranks have not seen eye to eye with you politically, but here, we meet on a common level, to do honour to one in whose integrity of purpose we have the fullest confiâ€" i dence." RELIC OF THE LATE SIR JOHN FOUND IN LIBRARY OF SON John an interesting memento of his illusâ€" trious father. It is an Hluminated adâ€" dress presented to Sir John A. Macdonâ€" ald by the officers and agents of The Manufacturers Life Insurance Comâ€" pany on January 17th, 1888. Sir John ;was' the first president of The Manuâ€" facturers Life. The address is bound in red moroceo leather and is beautifully hand illuâ€" minated . throughoutâ€"reminiscent . of the monks of mediaeval times. It is now in the possession of The Manuâ€" facturers Life Insurance Company and will have an honoured place in the company‘s library. Still another paragraph expresses a hope which never was realized. "It is not, we venture to hope, beyond the bounds of probability, that Her Most Gracious Majesty, whom you have so faithfully served, may at no distant day, confer on you even greater favyâ€" ours than those ‘you now wear, and should the result be your promotion to a position nearer the throne, we would all feel that the honours have been well deserved and gallantly won." SUDBURY CHILD DIES FROM EATING NUMBER OF PILLS After suffering for some hours from convulsions caused by eating a number of iron pills Aina Orrenmaa, threeâ€" yearâ€"old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Orrenmaa, 21 Dufferin street, Sudbury, died shortly before midnight on Monâ€" day last week in the hospital. Invesâ€" tigation was made by the coroner. Acâ€" cording to what could be learned by the officials, the child found the pills in the room of a boarder at the OrrenmAA home. When she became ill it was not thought that she had taken many of them and her condition was not conâ€" sidered serious. However, when she beâ€" gan to have convulsions and bleed at the mouth, she was removed to St. Joseph‘s hospital where she died withâ€" in a-few hours. The little girl was the only child and was born in Finland.

CORNELL PROFESSOR MAKES REFERENCE TO THE DOMINION "Canada is a country of vast virgin resources," states James E. Boyle, Proâ€" fessor of Agricultural Economics, Corâ€" nell University. "The United States is sometimes spoken of as the richest country in the world, due to the imâ€" mense progress of both agriculture and industry in that country. The fact is, however, that Canada, is a country of large area and of far greater wealth in natural resources per capita. wWith a balanced development of Canadian resources, coupled with an equally balâ€" anced growth of those two great arterâ€" ies of economic lifeâ€"transportation and bankingâ€"Canada is destined to be the wealthiest country in the world.
