It is the itinerant peddler, the house to house door bell ringer and those of his kind who travel from place to place plying their trade and imposâ€" ing on the credulity of the unthinking, offering bargains in this and that which most always turn out to be inferior merchandise sold at higher prices or in short measure. It is well to beware of these fell- ows and the plausible stories that they tell to engage the interest and confidence of their prospects. They are of many varieties and with as many kinds of merchan- dise to sell. Inferior articles of many kinds are peddled about hither and yon during the summer months. The automobile has been a great aid to this kind of chicanery for after he has landed a few gullible prospects a day’s journey will take him far away and beyond the reach of the buyer who discovers that he has been victimized. ~ What better insurance can there be than buying from the home .town merchant? If for any reason the article proves unsatisfactory he is ready and willing to correct the trouble and satisfy his customer. Not so with the peddlerâ€"he is gone to-morrow or yet today if the chase gets too hot. He is, not seeking to satisfy his customerâ€"he is after the money alone. The home town merchant stakes his reputâ€" ation and his success on his record for fair and honest dealing. He may be found at his place of business day in and day out, year in and year out. There is nothing elusive about him. When folks want support and contributions for this and that, they know where to find him and he gives willingly and generously. Did anyone ever hear of the itinerant merchant contributing a single cent for the advancement of a local causfl There is one real way of in- suring good goods at reasonable prices, one way of getting good value for the dollar expended and that is to buy of the reputable home gown merchant. ~-.,,, AS A MAN THINKETH What is true of nations is true of individuals. A few years ago Canada was thinking of itself in terms of blue ruin and poverty. Reâ€" sult: poverty. To-day it is thinking of itself as prosperous. Result: Prosperity. The poverty was not real; neither, perhaps, is the feeling of prosperity is here. Can anybody doubt that it is best and wisest for a people to feel prosperous rather than povertyâ€"stricken? What is said here is not said to point a political argument. No political party has any monopoly of prosperity. It is the personal apâ€" plication that is intended. There can be no doubt that the surest way to prosperity for a man is to see himself prosperous. By so doing he attracts things to himself; friends, business, success, and all the stuff of life worth having. It is not really the possession of money that makes us prosperous. Money is but a symbol, after all. It is the thought of prosperity “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he.” Even the good Lord can not make a man prosperous who is always thinking poverty. 1. If you want to be prosperous, think prosperity; talk prosperity; act prosperity. Live like the king you are. Be generous; don’t be a- fraid to give. Spend freely; money in circulation helps everybody. Money hoarded helps nobody. John Smith owed his grocer ten dollars and paid it. The grocer owed his tailor ten dollars and paid him with John Smith’s ten dollars. The tailor owed ten dollars to the butcher, who owed John Smith ten dollars. So When the tailor paid the butch- er, the butcher paid John Smith, and everybody was paid and pros- perous. Get the idea of prosperity in your mind and you will soon have the reality of prosperity on your affairs. '1‘! NAMES ON MAIL BOXES Complaint is made that some residents along the rural mail routes do not keep their names on the mail boxes in a legible condition, which is their duty. The farmer‘s name on a mail box serves a good purpose providing the person passing along the road is not driving too fast, otherwise not many names are printed large enough to read. From an advertising standpoint a name painted large on the barn is prefer- able. We might easily take a leaf out of the book of the Michigan farmer in this respect. One can drive for miles and miles in that state and see every barn painted, invariably red, with the owner’s name in white letters nearly two feet long. It may be that the name of the farm is painted on also, and if some particular breed of horses, cattle or sheep are specialized in this is mentioned likewise. The mer- chant in the town has his name on the window to advertise his place of business; why shouldn’t the farmer advertise his place of business also? ‘ THE TITLE QUESTION AGAIN A despatch from Ottawa states that the question Of the conferr- ing of title by His Majesty the King upon Canadians is likely to be re- vived at the next session of the house of commons. The question has been raised by the formal investitute of Mr. Justice Rinfret, of the Supreme Court of Canada. as a Knight of the Legion of Honor of France. The giving of this title to the distinguished Canadian jurist creates a rather peculiar situation. Under the present understanding between the Canadian and British government, no British titles can be conferred on Canadians. But, on the other hand, there is nothingito prevent the government Of a foreign country giving as many titles to Canadians as they like. Thus it comes about that Canadians who have distinguished themselves in the service of their country. or of humanity' can accept honors from foreign countries. but are debarred from being honored by their own sovereign. There is a certain amount of feeling in favor of the rescinding of the resolution of parliament whereby Canadians are barred from be- ing honored by the King. It has not. as yet. reached the stage which would entitle it to be given serious consideration by parliament. but it could be productive of a very interesting discussion should it come be- fore the house. country in tlic world. and lhcrc is a strong antipathy tmvnrds ltcredi- tary titlcs which pass from father :0 son.

Typhus fever which was also known as Jail or Ship fever is spread by the body louse and personal cleanliness. Yellow fever and Malaria are spread by certain kinds of mosquitoes. In Canada, our chief insect problem .from the standpoint amongst human beings, is the common house fly. Beâ€" cause the fly is covered with minute hairs; and because of its habit of lighting and feeding on all sorts of filth, the fly filth from one place to another. Flies feed on anything, body waste and secretions When they light on such matter, it sticks to them and they carry it to their ‘ next point of rest, which may be the milk jug, the sugar-bowl, or the food on the table. If the filth in which they have been contained disease germs, they carry these along with the filth. carries and transfers SUTTON AND GEORGINA VET- ERANS MEET A joint meeting of the Sutton and Georgina Veterans Associations was held in the Council Chambers at Sut- 'ton on the 7th instant.

If the food is dry, the insect discharges fluid from its stomach to moisten it, and thus it passes out some of the filth it has previously fed upon to whatever it now seeks to eat. Flies breed in any collection of waste organic matter, such as garb- age, but preferably on horse manure. Such breeding should be prevented by proper covers and regular removal. Outside privies should be screened to prevent entrance of flies. Houses (should be screened. Flies should nev- er be allowed to light on the baby or his food; they are frequently respon- sible for the spread of summer diarrâ€" dangerous. They do spread disease and so, should be destrOyed.
