Not only does the motorist who complies with these re- quirements earn a 10 per cent. reduction from the insurance people, but he has saved himself considerable sums of money in repairs, perhaps considerable cost in patching up injuries to himself or others, and he has the satisfaction of knowing that he has injured no one else and is a considerate and safe citizen. It is called a merit rating plan. A bonus upon one’s insurancé would of course go a little way toward paying the increased cost of gasoline which now has a 5 cent per gallon tax upon it in Ontario. The owner of an’ automobile would be delighted to have a reduction of 10 per cent. in his insurance costs. To earn this 10 per cent. it is required that for a period of two years the license must have been neither suspended nor revoked, that the owner has not been convicted of driv- ing while intoxicated, has not run away or evaded responsiâ€" bility after an accident, that he has not been a reckless drivâ€" er, that he has kept the brakes and steering gear of his car in good working condition and had them inspected at least semi-annually. ' To award a premium to automobile drivers or car ownâ€" ers who have had no accident involving an insurance comp- any for two years prior to renewing a policy is almost certain to increase care, and this plan has been adopted by some of the companies'across the border. Thereis always some counterfeit money in circulation. Recently there has been a considerable volume of this, and while the detection of an extensive gang of counterfeiters has recently been accomplished, it is possible and probable that other gangs are in existence. As to the phoney checkâ€"well, there’s no rule. \ Any- body whe accepts an unverified check from a stranger, and gives him ,qood money or valuables in exchange, deserves to be swindled. In one city not long ago a young man applied to seVeraI houses in a neighborhood and asked for change, saying that he wanted to pay an account that had just been presented him and didn’t have the change. He is known to have gain- ed $30 in the flimâ€"flam game and not to have been more than a half hour in doing it. But he disappeared without de- tection. The fjrst and safest rule is not to deal hurriedly with strangers. ’ Take time to count the change and to know that it is right. Don’t hurry to accommodate the people Who want money changed either into small bills or large ones, unâ€" less you know who they are. It is a common thing for flim-fiammers to walk into a store or shop where there are but one or two persons in char- ge, get change for a $10 or $20 bill, and in the counting and sorting of the change walk away with the larger bill and all the change with the exception of one of small denomination which has been shuffled into the pile. They are skilful pal- mers and they do their work successfully. . Spring is bringing back the annual crop of flim-flamm- ers or phoney check artists. These fly-by-nights are poor specimens and are really nothing but parisites, preying upon humanity. And it is not always the weak that fall for the solicitations of those who would rather steal than work. In these remarks, Mr. Martin gave an insight into the real work of horticultural societies, that of community beau- tification. Nothing makes a community so attractive to its own people and to visitors as to find it a place Where flowers, shrubs and trees abound. Divine Providence has been good enough to make it possible for towns in this climate to be beautified beyond description in this way, and any communâ€" ity which fails to support a strong and virile horticultural society is failing to do its duty to the Creator of all beautiful things.

You have no motives except the beautification of Ontario through your love of flowers and the province is reaping the benefit of your work, partic- ularly through tourist traffic.” The Hon. J. S. Martin paid a deserved tribute to the work of the Horticultural Societies of Ontario in his address at their annual convention recently. Expressing the sat- isfaction of his department with the growth of the horticul- tural movement, Mr. Martin said: PAGE TWO J. Eachern Smith, Manager Member Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association.

It is into the mouth, however, rather than into the ear, that so many things go which certainly do not belong there. Food, drink and tooth-brush are the only objects which should go into the mouth, although fingers, carâ€"tickets and money are often placed there. The simple reason why the latter should not happen is that it is through the mouth most disease germs enter the body. Anything which may be soiled with human secretions should be kept out of the mouth, because such secretions may carry disease germs. The carâ€"ticket given by the conductor, frequently with fingers moistened with saliva, and then handled by our hands or gloves which have touched many things that might be soiled by saliva or other secretions, should not go into the mouth. It is through the consistent practice of such habits that each one of us can do much to ensure protection from di- sease; It may seem to be a small thing, but it is one of the small things which have an effect beyond what one who did not see their importance would expect. Keep things where they belong, and so, keep disease germs out of the In most cases, there is no actual danger because disease germs in gen- eral. die quickly outside of the human body by drying. However, to avoid the very‘ real danger that does lie in this habit, it is necessary to develop the opposite habit of never placing 1n the mouth things which are out of place there. mouth Questions concerning health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toronto, will be answered by letter. Questions as to diagnosis and treatment will not be answered. Having been asked frequently as to the removal of wax from the ears, we are prompted to write that there is considerable truth in the old sayingâ€"â€" “Never put anything into your ear smaller than your elbow.” It is a mistake which many mothers make, that of trying to remove wax from deep in the ear. If wax does collect there, and it not infrequently does to the extent of interfering with hearing, it should be removed by a doctor. Im- proper means of removal may do sonâ€" siderable permanent harm. It is now time to clear away all the Winter’s accumulation of rubbish and make the home surroundings sanitary and attractive. A wild goose which visited Jack Miner’s bird sanctuary in 1918 and a- gain in 1928, stopped off again last week on its way north.
