It may sound like a. somewhat cynical philosophy. but we believe that it is almost as bad to have W: muchofagoodthingasnotto have enough of it. And many of us are in as much danger of the for- mer as of the later. We have known some D¢°Dle who have had. so far as we could make things out, quite too much money. We never expect to come to such a state olneelves, or if by some strange chance we should come to it. we probably would be like many others and not have the wisdom and clear vision to see it. But looking at those others with what we think to be s fairly intelligent view, we are convinced that they might be both happier and better if they didn't have so much. A lot of money does seem to have a remarkablye facility for cluttering up and spoiling real living. Leisure is a most excellent and useful thing, but have you nev- er s:\n people who seemed to have quite too much of it. and succeed- ed only in putting it to a very poor and stupid uses? And have you not often seen poeple whose leisure could only be taken in brief, hur- ried snatches and yet, who, appar- ently for that very reason. got out of it unique delight and pleasure, "IdDutittothevei-ybestand wisest uses?

The committee found that the majority of the wortingmenh famil- ies were eating about the right quantities of the various foodstuffs except that where the money was insuificient for food the housewife was giving a little less meat and butter than was really necessary and fllling the stomachs on the cheaper starchy foods-potatoes and bread. The common fault if any was not giving the youngsters enough meat or eggs. Similarly the Bureau of Home Dc- onomlcs cf the United States De- partment of Agr maintains that the family should have a food budget and balance the daily food intake properly; this is very neces- sary where the available funds are low. They suggest that a market list, made up weekly and made up wise- ly, canbe usedtomske suroofa balanced diet, as well as a balanced budget. Thus in a very practical way they put the food irlto five groups. These are milk and milk products; vege- tables and fruits; bread and cereals: fats and sugars; meats, ilsh and

“One should mend of every dollar thirty-three cents for milk and cheese; twenty-five for vegetables and fruits; twenty for cereals, bread and beans; twelve for fats. sugar, and molasses; and tkn 101’ meat, fish and one!’

This is an ekcellent diet arrange- ment. Perhaps about three to ﬁve cents more of each dollar-thirteen to fifteen cents-might well be spent on meat, eggs and fish-animal plv teln-whero the children are in their teens. .

lome facts are in doubt. but so farascanbediscovercdinthesong first appeared in print in Black- wood's magasi , September, 1320. It was there in a department cal- led Noctes Ambroslanae, which we might fairly transllte a5 "drinking nights" to which Christopher North and Inckhart were notable contri- butora. Lockhart said it had been sent by a "friend now in Upper Canada." in the same issue of the magazine was an article on Upper Canada by John Gait. and it seem- ed to have been taken for granted that Gait was the author oi’ the verses. He was one of the directors of the Canada Company which was so active in Western Ontario and is l mbered chiefly as the founder oi’ Guelph. though he wrote “The Annals of the Parish," a, popular book of his time. ‘rwenty yea-n later the verses, slightly changed, ap- peared in another magazine and were said to have been found among the papers of the late Bari of hlinton. One might infer that the earl was the author or merely that from having been impressed by their beauty he had copied them.
