However, the chap that forgets his change doesn’t lose as much as he used to.â€"â€"Kincardine Review Reporter. Two million people came over the Niagara frontier last vear as tourists. That constitutes a mighty big business. â€"St. Catharines Standard. Isn’t it strange, when you come to think of it, that one never hears a country editor losing $25,000 when some lawâ€" yer or banker clears out ?â€"Fergus News Record. And after all the‘world does think a lot of his breed. The man who pays is the bulwark of Society. He is the bal- ance wheel of civilization. He is the mainspring of cornm- erce.

Sometimes he feels sore at the rest of us. He does not see that he gets on any better than the fellow who skins as he goes. Still he goes on and on', pays and pays, simply be- cause it is in the breed. A new Spanish cabinet has been sworn in and already it is being sworn at.â€"-B1'antford Expositor. The man who pays is the man who thinks in advance. Tie never flashes a roll; he does not drive a car and carry a mortgage at the same time; he does not hang up the butcher or the grocer for food that he cannot afford to eat; he never lights the fire without wondering where the coal man gets off. He never throws the Bull, nor pitches the Bluff, nor gives notes, nor writes cheques dated to-morrow, but when the bills come in he is there with the coin of the realm, Go bless him. ° A medal is due any writer who can use the phrase “All auiet” without adding “on the western front”.â€"Woodstock Sentinel-Review. On the other hand, the poor fellow without a visible dollar â€"you know himâ€"Who is Johnny on the invoice. Money has little to do with either case. It is the breed of the man. THE MAN WHO PAYS The will to pay is hereditary, just as much as red hair or buck teeth. It is a common fallacy that a man pays his debts because he has money. This is not necessarily true. On the contrary the matter of paying has only a remote re- lation to money. ' On the one hand is your friend With/abundance of mon- ey, who cannot be cajoled, threatened, beaten or gassed into paying the most ordinary debt. H A woman must have some changeâ€"If it’s only moving he davenportâ€"Port Arthur News-Chronicle. The will of the people cannot be lightly disregarded, even though the Toronto Transportation Commission were anxious to ride rough shod over the people and substi- tute a bus service for the radials. The County Council has faken a determined stand and we have no doubt that where- ver or by whatever tribunal of law or arbitration it is settlea that the rights and wishes of the people will have some con- sideration. County Council held the longest session in history, but it will be worth it if they succeed in retaining the radials. York County is not seeking litigation and it is hoped that the Toronto Board of Control, City Council and Toronto Transportation Commission will see the error of their ways and that what is sure to be a long drawn out action in the courts thus averted. Whatever the City decides to do the course of York County is clear and justified. The County Council as representatives of the people had no mandate other than to fight to the last for the Radials. The people have spoken in no unmistakeable voice that they want a rad- : u “ . ial serVICe and do not want a bus serv1ce. General satisfaction is felt throughout the North Yonge Street district and the municipalities served by the Metroâ€" politan Radial with the unanimous decision of the York County Council to protect the rights of the people in the matter of a transportation service even to the length of tak- ing action in the courts.

During the winter months, there is, in our country, more illness than there is during the other seasons of the year There are several factors which conâ€" tribute to this increase. One of the chief of these, and one whose correcn- ion lies within the control of each in- dividual, is the giving up of exercise or play when the cold weather comes. Mr. and Mrs._ N. Brodie were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Doane, of Toronto on Sunday. Miss R. Barker visited with friends at Richmond Hill on Sunday. A certain amount of physical exerâ€" cise is necessary to keep the body fit whether it is taken in the form of set- tingâ€"up exercises or in play, or, again, sxlnply as part of the daily routine of life, such as by walking to and from ‘work. Most people, during the war.” ‘mer months of the year, do secure a considerable amount of exercise, De- lcause they take part in some form of ioutdoor life which necessitates the use The Y. P. S. are holding a social this week at the church. A good pro- gramme is being prepared by those left in charge. To-day is St. Valentines day and I forgot to send you all a Valentine. A week ago to-day I rented four acres of land just outside Orlando and starâ€" ted to board with a grand old couple from Pine Bush, N. Y. He is 76 and she is past 19 anyway. I have half my farm planted to corn and beans and the rest is being plowed now for tomatoes, potatoes and peas I expect. 1 sowed some radish seed on the 11th and I see it is up today. I am a far- mer and not a journalist so kindly ac-l ccpt my letters as coming from such a source. A week and a month ago toâ€"day I arrived in Orlando and spent a very enjoyable month looking in all directions for a small acreage of pro- ductive soil in a good locality. I hope I have found it and will make enough revenue to carry me back to good old Richmond Hill about June 1, be able to pay my taXes and get en- ough for us all to eat and nearly en- cugh to wear. Polar bears cannot adopt themselves to Florida nor can alligators adapt themselves to Labraâ€" dor. Since coming here I find I am of the alligator type. It takes about ‘two weeks for the average immigrant to get acclimatized and then its up to you to keep from getting homesick. While listening to the Georgia Indus. trial School Boys Band in EolalPark last Sunday afternoon I talked with a man who came from the north in 1920 and spends the winterslhere. The doctors at home gave him but a short time to live with nerVous trouble and he is still going strong. I talked with a man a few days ago whose wife while north weighed 252 pounds; aft- er she was here a season she lost 50 pounds and on going north for a sea- son gained- 15 pounds.

MALLORY Orlando February 14, 1930 HEALTH SERVICE live and work, most of the time, in an overheated atmosphere which, in itself is debilitating. The result of this abuse of the body -â€"for it may be fairly ca‘fiea abuseâ€" is that there is a loss of tone; a state of comparative runfitness develops, with the result that there is more ill- health and more actual disease than during the months when the body is given reasonable care. Cold weather itself is not responsible for disease; in fact,\there is much to be said for the stimulating effect of cold fresh air. The illnesses that come with winter are the penalty of our neglect rf our own bodies. Just as soon as we put into practice what we know a- bout exercise and fresh atr, and about living and working; in rooms that are not overheated, we shall be more heal- thy and there will be less sickness.

And With bandaged head and walking stick Pat wandered out in style Burning all who passed him, with his famous Irish smile; Begging cards he had in plenty, dress, ed up fit to kill, ’ He looked a perfect picture, when he got upon the Hill.

'TO THE MEN OF CANADA When the coal dealer points out that the fire pot should be filled up to the feed door some people think he is trying to use up their coal pile quickly. However that is the economical way. The larger the quantity of coal the more slowly it burns, the more ox- ygen you can burn with it, and the easier it is to regu- late the firing. Air.will be drawn through a thin fire rapidly, even though you try to check it and the coal is consumed faster, making it necessary to shovel coal frequently.
