Postponement, the British Gov- ernment announces, docs not signify that the Lousanne confer- ence has been abandoned. Least of all does it mean abandonment of hope of an early understanding being reached amongst the powers. which will restore financhl con- fidence and sct the international credit machine working again.

During the past week or so four youths were sent from this 91'0" vince to serve a term in the P911‘ itentiory. While criminality can- not bc wholly eliminated from 0111‘ civilization our record in this rc- gpcct 50 far has not been creditable. We have some hundreds of boys in this province; what are we doing to take them off the road to jail or penitentiary? The great majority of them are being sic-guarded by the homes into which they were fortunate enough to enter. The less fortunate ones and they are those who are on their way to crimnaiity are or ought to be the wards of our churches or schools and our Christian people. Are we doing our full duty by those un- fortunates? Homes there are that are no homes but civilization and Christianity if wide-awake should be able to prevent these unfortun- ates from going to the bad? This appears at present to be nobodys business but responsibility cannot be shirked. We are all responsible to a large extent for those who go astray.

Nothing so eloquently reveals character as the hand-clasp. On". may train his voice to express courage and a cordiality unposses- ed; one may acquire a poker-face; one may feign pleasure nt meeting and displeasure at parting; but thc offered hand neither conceals nor deceives. A blind man, deaf and dumb from birth, can read this

"Let the debtor nations, therefore, do as it is probable they will now do, namely, confer together without the participation of the United States, and assume the onus of in- itiative ln a settlement of the dcbts -—both those owed to the Unitcrl States and those owing them by Germany, and the United States will take the consequences."

The issue is thus vividly brought before us. The European llfllioilg mil upon the United States fpir can- collation, while the Unite: rllstes replies: "Not at all, sign u trust dccd on behalf of your Creditor, mp1] we shall see how much we can rc:\_ lize on the estate before giving you

such as Charles H. Mayo, and Geo, W. Crilc, tell us that the reason middle aged folks do not have any better expectation of life than did men and women a hundred years ago, it should make us do some ser- ious thlnking._

The reason that the span of lifc for middle aged folks has not been lengthened is not because more l5 not known about the care of the body, but because we have allowed our minds, our brains, to file-COMO up- set by cures, anxieties, worries or other emotional disturbances. It is emotional disturbances that inter- fere with digestion, with the action ol the heart, with the circulation of the blood, and cvcn the condition of the blood vessels.

Dr. Louis J. Karnosli, Western Reserve University, says that ner- vousness, next to the ordinary cold, is the most common affliction of man. Ncrvousness is on the in- ercasc. It is just as frequent in the uuschonlcrl as in the educated, less frequent in children and among savage people, and vcry rare in the animal world

It would ‘em that the disap- pointments of life, having to do things every duy that we do not like doing, and not being able to do muny of the things we like to do, all seem to strike the nervous sys- tem such a blow‘ or series of blown-z that practically every part of the body is affected-heart, lungs, intes- tine, the various glands which regu- Iilie the speed of ccrtain processes. and so forth. The cause of nervous cxhnusiioir or ncxvous breakdowns in middle life is not so much the hard work, but often the monotony oi‘ the work, with not enough time used in work we like or in actual play.

In truth most of us have many cares and ailxicties, and‘ it is not of course easy, to shift these oil our minds. However if we can just re- mind ourselvcs during the day and every; day that a worried, anxious, or discontented mind can interfere with n11 the functions of the body, it might help us to tackle our tasks more cheerfully, and turn our thought toward some of the more pleasant things of life, or to the doing of more of life's helpful things.

It is just here that religion, of whatever kind, can often give the mind calmness or poise. message of ihc hand.

Many years ago with the assist- ance of the lute Sir Louis Davies. then Minister c-‘j hiiirhc, n warden ‘was placed on the Ilforeli River. 'I‘his warden was 5|, fearless fellow quits prepared to cope with any- cnc that he found breaking the law.

His third trip re- sulted_in bullets flying around his head, to. which he promptly re- sponded from h's own gun, and that year old fishermen whc had fished the Morcll for Sears, and who complained they found it hard to get n decent catch, got the best catches they had had for twenty years.

And he WAS removed, and such catches as were made at that time have never been repeated. And in th's one instance can be found the crux of the whole history of fishing trout on Prince Edward Island.
