When our young men distinguish themselves in athletics, for ln- stance, we make the welklng ring with jubilation over the honour they have brought to ‘their native province.

“ The newiot Iiory of all concerns

The improvements about town are often remarked upon in these days. Pardons who lived here, or visited this city fifty or forty qr even twenty years ago are delight- ed to find it ‘so greatly improved" Streets. sidewalks, squares. houses lawns, premises, large and small,

have been changed "greatly for the now counted “one of the attractive

little places" in which Canadians live. if the city debt is soluowhat increased, the value ' of property has gone up; if taxes are some- what heavier, citizens see value for their money and so don't grout- ly complain.

in recent yours, the city author- ities and their officials have done well. They have generally ilccn prudent and careful us well as fair-

ly economical. Much-crctllt is due cat-Mayor Paton and those who

have succeeded him, to the public spirited City Councillors and the City Surveyor for the trees planted in residential sections of the streets, for the permanent side- walks und the comparatively dust- less streets which contribute to the "general effect" remarked up-

on by strangers and enjoyed by citizens. But e “gcileral effect"

has been greatly heightened by the individual effect of the citizens themselves many of them have ris- en early and worked late to trim the hedges and mow the lawns and work in the gardens about their premises. By degrees a spirit of emulation in improvement has been engendered. The poor an well as the well-to-do have vletl with each other, the young as well as the elders. The general result is creditable to all.

That much remains to he done towards further improvements is still true. There is in the north of the town the course of the ill-oak leading front Spring Park into which citizens have been accus- tomed to dump their dirt; there is in the east of this town the marshy ground near Hillsborough Bridge

and the Railway Station; there is in the west Government Pond and

the dilapidated fences which bor- der and intersect Government House Farm; there are in the south several neglected wharves and old warehouses-all more or less disgraceful to the city at large and to those who own them, some

THE STRENGTH OF WEAKN-ESS

Many men make the‘ follow- lng boast, “I've been turu- cd down for life insur- nnco a half dozentimes. ‘U19

doctors told ma that I had heart disease, or kld-neydisease. and. yfll bore I am still living and some of these doctors awidead."

Now is this time?

Why certainly it is tr-ue, and al- though that nlian is boasting, ii he be anything of a thinker he should be thanking those doctors ever)“ day of his life.

‘Why? . Well they pointed out ito him his weak point.

If there were a stomach condi- tion, perhaps an ulcer, he was ad- vised to chew his food well, keep on a liquid diet on - the slightest distress. to eat less ‘but oftener and so forth.

If it were n hart condition he Wad advised to take things easily. to walk some every day or do some form of exercise, to avoid in- digestion, and never to do heavy lifting of any kind. i

lf it were a kidney condition his diet was laid out for him in a gen- eral way.

Do you see my point?

I-lis very weakness becomes a source of strength to him, because he lives the kind of life that hygienic science advises him to live. You and I have often wond- cred why strong robust men and women have "been cut down, and other people, ailing always, have lived to a ripe old age.

it really isn't hard to understand is it? '

And so while weakness or an nf- fliction of any kind is certainly not to be desired, you can readily see that it has enabled many people to live to a rl-pe old age.

It does seem strange that intel- ligent human beings have to have a club swinging over them to make them live simple lives.

Nor is it likely that the good ex- ample set by Charlottetown will not be followed by other towns and villages of the Province and
