He shuffled across the stage in that peculiar gait which has so amused movie fans, and the i-nmonse throng fairly yelled themselves hoarse.

victory won, now let the law do its work-that seemed to be the at- titude. not of all, but of many. Never was a greater mistake than this.

Once these Maritime Provinces were dotted with temperance halls. They were located in the towns Villages and settlements. Every one of them radiated an influence for temperance and for good. What has become of those te-inlperancc halls? iSold, or turned to other uses. Once tlfere were several weekly journals devoted exclusiv- ely to theuidvocacy of temperance in the Maritime fields, all of which have disappeared. Once there were frequent temperance sermons in the churches. and frequent public temperance meetings, both of which are very rare today.

No law will enforce Itself. Natur- ally in political circles the “outs" are always blaming the “ins" for not enforcing prohibition. But all must nd-mlt that the moral impulse which ivns behind the law at the hetgimilng was the result of earlier and valuable educational work which has since ‘been largely abandoned. It was for neglect oi’ this educational work that the Can- adian Bapiisthstnted at the time the Ontario Tomlperance Act was defeated.

The League of iNatlone le now eeven yearn old. The fifth annual meeting of its Canadian Society of the league will be held at Ottawa, beginning on February 11. The lilioynl Edward Chapter of the 11m- ‘perlnl Order of the Daughters of the Empire, Charlottetown. and the Abegweit Chapter of that Order, Summeraide are corporate mem- bers of the above Society and have shown active work and sympathy for the lLeag-ue of Nations since its formation.

WHAT IS YOUR CATEGORYI

You will remember that during the war soldiers were placed In certain categories according to their physical fitness.

An A man was tit for service any- wheie. A “B" man was fit for over- seas service but not in front line trenches. A “~C“ man was fitdor home service. A "D" man ivas tem- porarily unfit, and so might be ad- vanced to A. B. or C.

An "E" man was totally noflt. The president of the British Medical Association tells us that "physical inefficiency is at once the most permanent and f-iuitful cause of individual unhappiness and dis- content-" '

He says that a B or iC man will be oftener on the sick list; be will make more mistakes; he will pro- duce less; he will lose his job sooner; and at any moment of em- ergency he will be less trustworthy and reliable-

His physical deficiencies will in- crease with the passing years; he will be unable to ‘protect himself and family. ‘ This is certainly a gloomy picture but the individual with ipoor health cannot be at his ibest mentally, phy- sically, and even morally,

What is his suggestion’!

That the State should take an in- ventury-of the health of all its citizens, just as it does of its other possessions. '

This would mean that an effort be made to raise individuals of a low category up to a high one "thus rendering them more efficient citi- zens, more valuable producers of wealth, parents of‘ a healthier stock and themselves more contented with their lot."

This looks like a big proposition and will not presently come to pass, but if every individual were to take stock of himself, his health equipment, and see his doctor and dentist every year, remembering that not by medicine, but by fresh air, good food, and exercise is the body built up to its possible best, then the efficiency and the happi- ness spoken of above will be "his portion.

In other words for the present at least it is up to you and not t0 the State to put yourself into your best psssible physical condition.

"Bestowal Of Titles

( w. L. Cotton)

Several judicious writers are urging that those who by exception ally good service for the States and by the exertion of great ability

of Nations. have earned the right to be distinguished among their ‘fellow Canadians should receive titles from the King, the fountain of the Empire honour. in all thG other Dominlons titles are obtain-

exceptlon. There is nothing im- moral ln a title-nothing essential- ly wrong- in being distinguished among the peopl if the wearer of the title is deserving of it! The best inen like to be known among the1r fellows as worthy; like to be look- ed up to and to have favored places in society. To this end, many men will exert all their ability and do great things for their country and the world at large. The desire for recognition and distincflon may be

of human nature; but why should it not be gratified, seeing that its gratification tends to benefit the country? To be honoured by the King is certainly an honour to be prized. ls it not right tba_t it should ibe given to Canadians, as to Ans- tralians and others

Great Britain has established the greatest Empire that the world has known. ‘She has done so ‘by means of nien—men of exceptional a-bility—\vho have devoted their liven to the performance of acts that have inured to the good of the nation. It has been the de- liberate policy of the government of Great "Britain to recognize and reward those who have performed exceptional services in politics and war, in-coniinerce, science and art, and other directions by which the success, the prosperity and the grandeur of the British Empire have been promoted. Great Britain has encouraged her sons to d0 great acts in her behalf; and one of the methods of encouragement was the giving oi' titles to those who, distinguished themselves,—~of ministering to the weakness of good men for distinction among their fellows. is not the example set by Great ‘Britain worthy of im1- tation by Canada? ‘

Titles should iio't be_giveu to those who are not deserving of t-hem. (‘are anti discrimination should, undoubtedly, be used by those who advise the king In that regard. ‘The mun who wants to ‘be distinguished by u title should not ‘be gratified in his desire merely because he liutl accumulated a store of money and was iu a posi- tion to “co-me down handsomely" when subscriptions were needed for the election friend of the polit- ical party wh1ch had gained 011109 and power. ‘He should have done some act or acts distinctly benefi- cial to the nation before the foun- tain of honour should be opened to him.
