Those who take what in not theirs -by right can be listed in three clauses: Outlaws by profession, who risk the full penalty when they ply their V trade, the burglar, the cracksman, the highwayman. Accidental thievevs who, through weakness or the pressure of need, abuse a trust. ' , ; . The deliberate white handed, smooth-spoken, "respectable" pillar ; ' of society, who plans his operations with consummate care, and is con fident that he is keeping his misdeeds under cover, his frauds within the law. , ' For which of these can be enter tained the most sympathy, the least : contempt? I The burglar goes at his business courageously, at any rate. He does not pose in his daily life, among Ms intirlAtAR. na axivthintr Hut n hnrcrlni. I ' o m " He does not first attempt to win the confidence of his victims that he may despoil them. liie trusted employe who goes wrong by taking what he vainly hopes to replace deserves pity and, in the great majority of instances, pity is given him, together with an op portunity for re-establishing himself. . The man, who exploits his own high standing among Ms fellows to exact dishonest gains, who hides behind smug pretensions of exceptional vir tue while he coaxes money from the pockets of those who can ill afford its loss he cannot plead the lack of op portunity for goodness, the excuse of poor environment, the defense of necessity. : Of all wrongdoers, this last type of aystematicj professional hypocrite in spires the minimum of humane consideration. 1 1 If t Here V a Clothing Sale You've got to Take Your Hat off to:-r-It's One of the Biggest and Best Things in our July Clean-Up Sale Your Unrestricted Choice of Any Man's Suit in Our Entire Stock at 206ff UNQUESTIONABLY THE BEST MEN'S SUIT OPPORTUNITY IN TOWN.

Germany is demonstrating to the world the fact that every nation over eats. Part of the liberty of civiliza tion is an unduly large consumption of food with proportionate waste. The most wastoful country in thte world even on the basis of peace con sumption is the United States. The only food dictator we recognize is the doctor !nd with eating as with drinking,; when the doctor interposes his prohibition it is usually too late. There are many individuals, pressed to the experiment of retrenchment at the trenches for reason of health or finance, who can testify that one's food allowance can be cut down one half, and that meat can be banished altogether, without injury indeed, with definite benefit. ' If this country should ever be so unfortunate as to be embroiled in a war, it is not likely we should ever come to so narrow a margin of sub sistence as Germany has been forced to observe, but whatever the econ. omies we should be obliged to make, they would be sura to be regarded as part of the "horrors' of war.

And they coma away from the "cure" benefited. i Our prosperity has had one bad ef fect on us it has deprived us of a proper sense of proportion in the use of the earth's products. The pleas ures of the table are not to be disre garded nor condemned; they are a contribution to the general value of life. But when, they are made alto- for the most part. It is true that the destruction is on a hitherto unpar alleled scale, but this is offset by the fact that production is also on a hitherto unexampled scale. Outside of the increase in the na tional debt by foreign loans, easily made up by so young and so rich a nation as Canada, and the loss of able-bodied men, easily made up by immigration, Canada is paying her way as she goes.

"The normal man is made out of the abnormal criminal by ethical, educa tional, physical and spiritual methods at Great Meadow. "If a man is physically defective he cannot reform until his weakness has been obviated." Therefore Warden Homer deals with each man as an individual. One man may need to be placed where he can live in close touch with nature, so he is given work on the prison farm, while another man may be ob sessed with a desire for knowledge, he is placed at work in the prison library, or is given some sort of cleri cal work that will help him meet his desires. , f Common sense, love and charity are combined at Great Meadow and that is why 100 per cent of its men are making parole and 971 per cent of its graduates are making good..
