“PERSONS NOT FAT
LIVE LONGEST”EDITORIAL
.................................................................. —.......... . f----------------B
(Sordid policies on the part of men oi’ nations, invite ruin.
There ist no better .tonic for mind .and body than, plenty of
hard, tiring working at a real job.

The worst thing about this election is its futility. What’s it
all about anyway?

Eminent Physician Declares
In a recent lecture before the
American Academy of Medicine, a
prominent physician stated that per
sons who aren’t fat live the longest.
'Common sense confirms this. In
surance companies often reject over
weight folks, or charge higher prem
iums on account of the risk. Fat
crowds and weakens body ‘organs—
it slows you down and puts unneces
sary strain on the heart. A host of
ailments (even rheumatism, acidity,
shortness of breath and lassiture)
are often associated with fat.
So get rich of this dangerous, un
healthy fat. /There's n'o reason why
you shouldn't when science has giv
en you this safe, effective treatment
—a half teaspoonful of Kruschen
Salts in a glass of hot water 'first
thing every morning.
This healthful “little daily dose'
of Kruschen keeps the system free
from harmful toxins, it helps to re
establish normal and proper body
functioning—it k'eeps you feeling
fine all the time. (Energetic activity
takes the place of sluggish indolence
all while you lose excess fat gradual
ly and without discomfort.

Paddy McGraw does not attend the political meetings1. For the

The rain fall continues to be. decidedly scanty. It is still true
that 90 per cent, of the conditions ‘for successful crop production
are beyond humon control.

Haye you ever figured out how long an umbrella would protect

Forest fires are still raging. There is1 need of a few stiff jail

likely to owrk public damage.

When relieving your feelings and expressing your mind in
regard to the. present election, remember that the campaign will
last for but a few days longer while friendship should last for a
lifetime. 'Somq people forget this.
A SUGGESTION
We suggest that all Sunday visitors form the habit of taking
their Sunday meals; with them. We urge this practice upon those
who visit out farm homes. The reason for visitors doing their own
cooking is that farmers’ wives work hard alii the week) and require
the portion of Sunday not required for church and Sunday School
for rest and quietness.
But would it not be better for Sunday visitors to make a change
in their habits and to spend the day quietly at home or at church.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Where Iras our money gone? That’s easy: We spent it—and
got precious little for it.
What happened to us in the bad 1920’s? We got financially
drunk contracted spiritual anaemia and got a splendid black eye in
1929.
What have, a great many people, been dioing ever since 1929.
They have been mistaking galvanizing a corpse for vitalizing the
social body, mistaking jazz for music, thinking that rushing about
is getting things done, and paying their debts by mortgaging their
homes.
What is the most encouraging sign of the times? It is that
people are asking where we are heading, that a few wise folks are
stepping on the brakes rather than on the accelerator. In the case
of the wisest the key is in dad’s pocket and mother has hid the
trousers.

These are the times' of the big meetings of the various churches.
And what problems they have to face! There is the big storm cloud
of the- labour strikes- in the country south of us>. There is the fact
that the financial depression is anything but over, There is the
crop shortage 'and the general hard times of the western provinces.
Added to this is the lack of vital interest in many of the things the
church stands, for.
The church's duty under these circumstances? Mainly her
duty is to establish and to sustain the morale of the country. Her
last duty is to be an agitator and' a creator of frothy unrest. She
seiwes well when she gets- men to- working, to studying what they
may do and1 do- well, when she leads all who know her to work in
faith andi to realize that most thingy yield to patience, to good will,
to industry, to enlightened faith and to the steady pursuit of a
worth while aim.

A HERO
On the 24th we met a lad of eight years. It was 3 p.m.
“Where have you been?" we inquired.
“Fishin’!”
“How many d-id you catch?”
“I didn't get none!"
“Had your dinner?"
“Nope!”
“What are you going to do?”
/"‘I’m goin’ to get my dinner?”
“And then?"
“I’m goin’ fishin’!”
Foch at his best and Wellington at his- highest never were
better of finer than this: yioungstem We have hopes1 of the bov or

PLEASE STUDY THIS
We hear a good deal about scholastic attainments in regard to
what we sometimes call the practical affairs of life. In this con
nection we are glad to pass on to our readers- the Reasoned1 judgment
-of Selfridges:’ big departmental store in London, England, as set
fourth by “Calistlienes” in the weekly edition of the London Times:
“In the legendary d'ays “before the War” the young man pre
paring for a profession was taught to rely much on text books.
In the text book were the authoritative, rules for all emergen
cies. The railway engineer knew precisely how much freight and
■passenger traffic a set of rails couldi carry. The architect could learn
the rules governing the planning of churchs and town halls. The
young economist could’ learn about the exchanges and foreign trade
and rent as precisely as if they were the ten commandments.
But these days have passed. The more -precise the instructions
Were, the more they are out of date now. Text books assume that
the practice of the profession is stabilized and the practice of every
profession is now changing so fast that ten years1 puts almost all the
detailed calculations out -of date.
The architect who was brought up to think in terms of brick
and stone has to thimk' in terms of steel and Concrete and glass—
and hasi to be prepared for the fact that all these are changing in
their strength and- in their properties; The economists who in 1929
used the text -books to forecast the immediate future of America
made a sorry mess of the job, as their predecessors had dione over
the effects of the War and the future of Russia.
This all means' that the need in business in these days- is for young
men of strong and Independent judigment. A man may cram him
self to the scalp with text books- and be no good at all to the World
in general or to the firm which employs him. He never would have
been much use if he were short of judigment and the courage to use
it, for business whs never so slow-changing as: to enable all its pro
blems to be s-'olved by tradition and text book. But he is of less use
than ever now at a time when the current of -change has become a
mill-race, when a man has no sooner got a rule by heart than he has
to take it out of practice and put it into history.
Hard work among books is still one of the best approaches to
a career. .If for nothing else it is a training in discipline and con
eantration, and there is a termendloUS amount in the past that has
not only historical but practical value. Often the young man must
understand a tradition before he can safely dispense with it.
But all the value of that training is cancelled out if it weakens
judgment instead of strengthening it, if it causes’ a man to quote a
text-book when he should! make a decision. If text-books give a man
self-reliance they are a god-send; if they paralyse his self-reliance
they are pernicious. ,we welcome to this1 Stoire young men who has shown enough inter
est enough in his career to master the text booikte on it, (We take it
as a .good1 omen if he lias done all that he can to prepare himself.
But the first thing wO do is to persuade him that he is serving the
future and not the past, that judigment is more to be desired than
knowledge, and we net ourselves to train him in that direction in or*
dor to. make him of maximum value t’o the commerce of this coun
try,”

STRATFORD BEES WIN
FROM HENSALL NINE
Stratford “Bees" assumed the
driver’s seat in the Eastern section
of the intermediate “B” intercounty
league in Stratford on Wednesday
last when they defeated Hensail 12-8
in one of the most peculiar games
ever played in Stratford. Sidwell, the
starting Stratford pitcher, looked
like a million dollars and for seven
innings allowed the visitors but one
scratch hit, which Brown was unable
to get to first in time to retire the
batter. But in the eighth Sidwell
weakened due entirely to a lame
back and before he was yanked in
favor of Feibeg. Henstall had, nicked
him for five hits and five runs and
before the third out had been made
they had counted eight times, the
only innings in the game in, which
they were able to dent the platter.
McLean faired little better in dish
ing them up for Hensail, being der-
ricked in the fifth frame after Strat
ford had scored six runs off his de
livery. Brintnell was some better
but was forced to yield nine hits and
six runs, the “Bees" scoring in every
frame but the eighth, their last turn
at bat.
