l The story is told of a certain physician that he never lost a case ui pneumonia. According to his patients and neighbours he cer- tainly had a. large number of pneu- monia patients during the course of a year. According to his fellow practitioners, every case of simple cold, every case of simple bronchi- ltis, was called "double pneumonia," ‘and by his “skill" he was able to pull them away from the Jaws of death.

As a mutter of fact the story is not. likely true, but it might not be a bad idea. if physicians were to ad- vise each patient with a severe 001d that if he were not careful pneu-

lmonis might readily follow the

present illness, and deaths from pneumonia run about 10 per cent of the cases.

which never thought of Ntaliating when our people were struck, we were struck with impunity and with an almost thoughtless carelessness. Our big neighbor to the South hard- ly knew when we were hit by his actions. There was nothing to call his attention to the circumstances. We never did anything to showthat we felt it necessary m take defen- ive measures. If we did not mind. why should he? If his politicians could curry favour with a section by barring out our copper or our lum- ber, why not do it? They would never hear fmvm Canada about it. But now that Canada has adopted what the Americans call a "retel- iiory" tariff and‘ now that the Ottawa agreements threaten to cut down American imports by many millions, Uncle Sam is taking not'ce. He is not angry, for well he knows that we are only following his example. He freely admits the justice of our course. But he also realizes that he can no longer destroy a

In both instances things are not what they seem.

"Under the connecting feeling of tropical heat and vertical sun- llghts, I brought together all creatures, birds, beasts, reptiles, trees, plants, usages and appear- ances found in the tropical reg- ions. I brought EEyPt and all her gods under the same law. I was stared at, hooted at, grinned at, by monkeys, paroquets and cocka- toos. I ran into pugodas and was fixed for centuries in secret rooms. I was buriedfor a thou- sand years in stone coffins, with mummies and sphinxcs in narrow chambers at. the heart of the eternal pyramids. I wns kissed by crocodiles, and laid confoundedly with all unutterable, slimy things amongst the reeds and Nilotlc mud.”

Tact In The Army

(Banffshire Journal)

We all know what tact is. One who found it difficult, to define ft briefly enlarged his explanations 01 the term by declaring that it cer- tainly would not be tactful t0 start s. conversation with St. Peter on the subject of poultry- T119 M9‘ jor in the club the other night also found it necessary to give at some length an explanation of what he meant:

too much of the stuff that fired into such monstrous visions some secret i filament of his brain. We do not! commend the experiment. We are content to point out that when chest-nuts crackle on the fire-bars, or a sooty flake quavers there amid the dancing lights and shadows in this twilight world of ours, when the wind croons and sobs in the hollows of the chimney, then some- thing is going to happen. And in this conclusion we are perfectly safe unless the cosmic clock suddenly stops altogether. But; if any Hal- loween votary should wish to con. suit the candle-flicker or the tea.- lcavcs for some sign as to what po- tion the fairies have in reserve for love-lorn mortals, let them go to it. It is as good a. guide as any other in such a crisis. And in love affairs, argument is of no more use than re- charging o. battery to nfl the sunrise. If the greatest, love is also the spookiest thing in the universe. i

Labor group of seven members, may make a fresh appeal to the electors in the hope of securing a clear majority in the Dell Eiresnn.

The peo- ple of the Free state must be pretty thoroughly “fed up" by now with Mr. de Valera! trade war with Britain and the general unsatisfac- tory condition of Ireland's affairs. And Mr. Cosgrave, the moderate who made such an excellent Job of straightening out the Irish muddle and giving the people good govern- ment, is right on hand to answer the call in case it is extended to him again.
