What wouldn’t a whole lot of us not give to hear John A. or

"Punch,” Britain’s famous journal of jokes, excluded liquor
advertising a few years ago. Its friends prophesied that it would
bankrupt the publication. A report showed that it has gained 254
new advertising accounts and has the largest circulation in its
history—and that in the face of depression.
********
LET’S BE WATCHFUL
Yes, our children are our greatest asset. Yet parents prove
their greatest foes and that inadvertently and with the best of
intentions. We have been reading of the wonderful work done for
the youth of England through the Borsal system of treating the
youth of the Old Land who may have stepped so far aside as to
become menaces to society. These wonderful Borsal workers take
the hard cases of these youthful errors and succeed wonderfully in
getting them back into the ranks of useful citizenship. These
people warn civilization against coddling children. The ideal is to
have every youth hardy and aggressive, but controlled by a sound
mind and a high sense of honour. At almost any -cost the Borsal
workers aim to have every child in their institutions capable of
■working hard at stiff work for at least eight hours every working
day. Softness of mind Oi" muscle or will or conscience is regarded
as a real foe to the youth.
We have just listened to an eminent specialist in mental cases
who told his highly critical audience that the coddling of children,
is one of the sources, a very profific source, of mental or emotional
disturbance, resulting in mental derangement. Parents will 'do well
to look to their children in this respect. This does not mean
maybe. A child from waking to’ sleeping should be busy, playing
hard or attending to such duties as his parents assign him or at
his lessons. Work and -play, plenty of both, are a child’s vital air.
********
A VERY GREAT LOSS
Little remains to be said concerning the shock to American
emotions delivered by the death Of Will Rogers in the accident
which cost him and Wiley Post their liVes. Now that the blow has
fallen, one wonders whether the sudden death of any other Ameri
can could have affected the public in quite the intimate and shat
tering fashion that this has. There are others whose deaths might
be chronicled with equally large headlines—or even larger—but one
doubts whether anything would be felt analogous to this deep sense
that a personal friend, a boon companion of those off-hours when
one $its slippered and relaxed before one’s own hearthfire, has gone.
Yet with all the expressions of sorrow which fill the press, it is
doubtful whether the country has as yet awakened to the manner
in which the passing of Will Rogers <may eventually be most deeply
felt. He may soon come to be missed for the contribution which he
made to the cause of wholesome movies. Will Rogers never did
much preaching qn decency in the motion picture world; occasional
ly he loosed a shaft of satire against some of the foibles of
.his Hollywood neighbors, and once or twice we can remember hie
having gently chided some of the injudicious activities of poorly
advised reformers. But Will Rogers in his own character was the
strongest bulwark tor decency in the .motion picture studios. It was
not only that he was clean himself; he was a living demonstration
to the Hollywood moguls that nothing pays so well as cleanliness.
Will Rogers could be healthy-minded in the fetid Hollywood atmos
phere without being sentimental or saccharine or stupid. And he
commanded an unequalod box office response. America will be the
loser if, now that he has gone, Hollywood forgets what he had to
teach.-—The 'Christian Century

Diarrhoea Is Weakening
Dysentery Is Dangerous
Diarrhcea and Dysentery do not need to run for
any length of time until the system is weakened and
debilitated. Few other diseases so quickly under
mine the strength and bring about a condition of
prostration and often collapse.
Never be without a bottle of Dr. Fowler’s Extract
of Wild Strawberry. It is not only prompt and
effective in cheeking the looseness of the bowels, but
at the same time it strengthens, stimulates and braces

You do not experiment when you get “Dr.
Fowler’s”. It has been on the market for the past
90 years. Do not accept a substitute.
LEADING PAINT MANUFACTURERS
ANNOUNCE
PRICE REDUCTION
First. Quality House Paint
Now
per gallon
$1 per quart
The Quality Remains Exactly The Same. Only The Price Is Changed.
Dating from to-day, the price of first quality
house paints manufactured and sold by the
undersigned companies is reduced from $4.65
to $3.75 per gallon.
There has been no change in market condi
tions or manufacturing costs to justify this
step. We feel, however, there is urgent need
for action that will make it possible for house
holders to obtain the highest quality paints at
the lowest price consistent with strict main
tenance of quality.
Thousands of people all over the country have
been forced to put off much needed paint
ing. Thousands more have been misled by
“ bargain ” prices into using inferior paint of
little or no value. We want to make it easier
for you to enjoy the advantages of painting
with first quality paint only, and are confident
that the generous reduction in price now
announced Sb the best way to accomplish this.
