By a weakness of the system the monthly allolvance of certificates is somctlnes exhausied and, there- fore the next method of securing liquor is to buy from the bootleg- gcrs. who flourish ill the Island as they seem to flourish in all com- pulsorily’ dry countries. The liquor laws in fact are almost the only outs broken in a Province, which is singularly frog from crime.

Mr. Jenkln refers to the lack of signs of poverty ln the Island and to the substantial farm houses and well kept farms. His article is racily written and, on the whole accurately portrays the salient features of our province and. char- acteristics as they appeal" to a cas-

Today's selection for the Poet's Comer is from the pen o.’ Prllcc Fxhvdrd Island's finest poet. Lt.- Col. John Hunter Duvar was born an Flfcsliirc. Scitlalld, in 1830.

It is based on the story that DeRoberval, after his recall to France in i543, made an attempt some years after to rc- turn to Canada and perished by shipwreck off the coast, of Nerv- founclland.

“A philosopher is a. man with a good constitution, a good position, and a good bank account."

This witty item in Current Wit and Wisdom has a. great deal of truth in it, llfld_ ll; puts the first thing first, that is a good constitu- tion.

I often wonder if those who have inherited a good strong body fully realize just what it means to them in life's battle.

A good digestion, strong heart and lungs, and an active regular in- testine can help a man to overcome the difficulties that confront him. Take the individual who has a poor appetite, who tires easily, with slug- gish liver and always constipated. He doesn't get the ‘good’ of the food he eat/s ,and the ‘slowness’ of

pcct to gain is far from clear, un- lcls they believe that punishing the Clrnesc will brcnk up the antl- Japanese boycott. ll: is by no

means certain that this result will follow, and the Japanese are slowly but surely forfeiting the confidence and sympathy of the rest of the world. If they are unaware of this fact now, they will find it out when ihe inevitable day of reckonng COMCS. t

the liver circulation preventing the removal of wastes from the blood, keeps him tired all the time. He hasn't the ambition or the strength to tackle things. He ls ready to quit about the middle of the afternoon if he is on his own time, and fre. quently does it.

The individual with a good can. stltution — strong heart, good cit. culation. and good appetite -- not only gets the full value of food eaten but gets rid of the wastes of his body, before their poisons get into the blood and tire him.

Of course there are thousands of individuals who have not good con- stitutions who have illllblflon and brains, work very hard, and accom- plish-much in life despite their poor constitution.

There is no question also but that the individual yvith the good posi- tion and the good bank account, should have a. peaceful mind that will help him in the digestion of
