The world has been charged with electricity for millions of years, but until we applied that electricity to our everyday business life, we had no electric lights, no street cars, no telephones, no telegraph, and were without the countless advantages we have today. Just so, our ethical standards will bear no fruit without practical application. Every business man, however, is appreciating more and more that it means something to be a Rotarian and that there is an obligation which every Rotarian assumes. Rotary is making an impression upon the whole world, because it strives to practice what it preaches.

If the Rotary Code of Ethics were actually practiced by governors and governed alike, the world over, all our armaments and battleships could be junked.

We first make acquaintances in Rotary, and out of these acquaintances come pure friendships that end not but with life. The fundamental principles and ideals of Rotary teach one the priceless value of true friendship. Friendship means hand-in-hand and shoulder-to-shoulder in sunshine as well as rain.

Many friendships are born in mutual adversity. It is a wonderful thing to have a friendto rely on when the days are cloudy and the nights are long. A true friend will fight for a true friend, no matter what the odds. Is it not worth while to make friends and to live and strive to keep friends? Friendship means inspiration and encouragement to one, a comfort in time of trouble, a joy in time of prosperity and a helpful influence from day to day. The bond that cements the warm heart to a friend the bond of friendship is the most valuable bond in all the world.

When we come to the final analysis of our business or profession we find that no matter what our occupation is, we have always one thing better to offer the public and society in general than our competitors, and that is better service. -Rotarian Charles H. Beaumont, Portland, "He was as nervous," we heard a girl say, "as a man trying to avoid tipping a waiter." New York Evening. World.

Whereas, once upon a time it was confined to the so-called public dining-rooms, it has now extended to even the private dining salon. For instance, as soon as the new manager, John Thiessen, took charge of the Bracebridge Hall dining-room, he cleared part of the floor and installed a snappy orchestra so that the guests of the Hall might enjoy themselves to the full.

Although the dining-room is in Brace-bridge Hall, 416 Ocean Avenue, it is open to visitors from other quarters. It is a charmingly appointed salon that lends itself ideally to afternoon card parties and dinner dances at night. A special dining-room may. be reserved for particular casions." After a morning of shopping, you're probably too tired to rush home and prepare yourself a luncheon. And, really, one becomes quite lazy after being introduced to the tempting meal that the Bracebridge Hall management serves you.

Your family, too, will enjoy the novelty of occasionally dining out together, and the young folks will be thrilled at the thought of being able to dance between the most appetizing courses you ever tasted. You won't mind their dancing, either, for you'll be sure that they are in the company of people you know, whosare, in fact, your own neighbors.

Some men wish that they had been born in the rough and tumble Middle Ages, when the badge of a man was his sword. And the old lawless frontier is missed in America.

By the same token, there are buyers and sellers who rejoice in business disorder and complication, in which to fight, and bargain and gamble. Seekers for thrills in trade are not given to thinking it over. For, looked at thoughtfully, the verdict of logic is that they collect 'for disservice. Those who want flexible, complicated discounts, double invoices, as a means to their ends, are seekers for profit at the expense of others. "The devil take the hindmost," is a maxim of a business era passing out.

True business demands law and order in trade.
