Advertising rates on application, OUR SINCERE WISH In this our first issue of this New Year, we extend to our readers the wish that, 19§7 will be one of peace and contentment for you all, also that you, may enjoy a full measure of prosperity; 1930 in many ways has been a troublesome year, The continued threat of war in Europe and,, in the East has been the cause of much un­ easiness. We in Canada should be thankful that we live beside peaceful neighbors and that it is not necessary to maintain large armies to protect our boundaries or our homes, The business index of the past year has shown improvement. No,thing of a boom type but a gradual increase that appears to have a solid founda­ tion. Our hope is that in this year of 1937 the people of this district will continue to enjoy better business. The Agriculturists, during the past few years, have not enjoyed the pros­ perity that one would wish them. Prices have been low and in some cases rock bottom. According to .re­ ports 1937 should be a bright one for them and it is, our earnest hope that such will be the case. The fact that our farmers continued to carry on courageously during those trying times is proof that they are deserving of better luck. To forecast what will take place in 1937 would be fully on our part, but we do sincerely hope that you all en­ joy a successful year. * * sir * NOMINATIONS During the past few years it has been our pleasant duty to attend many nomination meetings in this district. On the whole these meetings have been conducted in a very bus­ iness-like manner and those who have held office have given good reports of the business for which they have been responsible. The ratepayers in the townships, according to our observations, have displayed a keener interest in the af­ fairs of their municipalities than those of town. It seems to be if there- is no election in sight that the town folks more or less take things for granted. Not so in the townships. Despite the fact that acclamations have been given those in office the electors burn out to hear first hand what is going on and what is propos­ ed for the following year. The absence of the women folk at such meetings was noted. In the townships we have not yet seen any of the fair ' sex at these meetings. The reason may be that they are sat­ isfied that the men folk can carry on without their assistance or perhaps they feel the duties of the home are too important to leave. It is a good thing to have plenty of interest in municipal affairs among the ratepayers then no such thing as not a sufficient number qualifying will happen as was the case this year at Palmerston and Exeter. ; -k -I* *;* TOXOID , Several times through this column we have advocated a “Toxoid” free clinic for Wingham. So far our sug­ gestion has not met with much suc­ cess but wc believe now early in 1937 would be a good time to consider this idea. > Many municipalities have carried out toxoid treatment for a number of years and any person who has looked into the matter knows that it lias been a marked success. The medical profession in other places have co-operated with thf au­ thorities in giving this treatment that prevents diphtheria and we are quite sure the same measure of co-operation would be forthcoming litre. We would suggest that our Board of Health take this matter into con­ sideration at once so that the child­ ren of Wingham may benefit by this valuable discovery and treatment. * & * * Will there now be a race for war cqmpment on the sea?

Golden Text: Verily, verily I say unto thee, Ex­ cept a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.—(John 3:3) Of one of the great military lead­ ers in Old. Testament times, com­ mander-in-chief of the armies of a powerful nation, we read: “Now Naa- man . . , was a great man ... and honorable , . but he was a leper” (2 Kings 5:1). Earthly greatness did not count for much over against that dread, and. deadly disease. We have another great man in this week’s lesson, whose name also be­ gan With N. We could say truly: “Now Nicodemus was a great man, and honorable, but he was a leper.” But his leprosy was not of the body. But of the spirit. Naaman’s leprosy meant only physical death, the “sec­ ond death” which is eternal separa­ tion from God in “the lake of fire” (Rev. 20:14). Naatnan was only a great military leader. Nicodemus was a great re­ ligious leader of God’s chosen people Israel. He was “a ruler of the Jews,” and Christ called him “the teacher,” TO APPEAR IN FILM Princess Souka of Soudan recently travelled from her native country to London to take part in an English film about the Sahara. The princess speaks only French besides her native dialect. Maitland Creamery Buyers Of THE UNITED FARMERS’ CO-OPERATIVE COMPANY, LIMITED. Whigham, - - Ontario. Phone 291 or “the master” of Israel (the literal meaning of verse 10). Yet this great religious leader and teacher was a lost soul when he came to Christ one night, secretly, fearing lest his reputation might be injured if it were known he visited Jesus. Nicodemus was a Pharisee, the proudest, most orthodox and highly trained class of the Jews, and was a member of the Jewish sanhedrin or council. He began by complimenting the Son of God: “Rabbi, we know that Thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can .do thesef miracles that Thou doest, except God be with Him.” This compliment was not on­ ly a tribute to Jesus, but also to Nic­ odemus. It implied that Nicodemus was competent to pass judgment on Christ: to discern spiritual things, and to recognize the presence and work­ ing of God. The Lord’s reply was utterly un­ expected.—a swift, sudden puncturing of Nicodemus’ pose, of his standing, his supposed .spiritual discernment on matters pertaining to God. “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Did Nicodemus really think the Lord was .speaking of physical birth, or was he only evading the issue when he said, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?” Then the Lord patiently and won­ derfully explained the second birth, the new birth from above. We arc born into this world, physically, of out- human parents; our spiritual birth can come only from God. “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is. born of the Spirit is spirit.” And how can a human being, after the natural or physical birth, be “born of the Spirit”? We had the an­ swer in last week’s lesson, where wc read, concerning Christ, that “as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” (John 1:12, 13). The instant any lost sinner (and all men arc lost sinners until they are saved) believes on Jesus Christ as his Saviour, that instant the Holy Spirit brings to pass the miracle of the new birth in that ones’ life. He is then- “born again” in the spiritual birth that makes him a child of God, and this second birth is just as real and literal an event and fact as was the firth or natural birth. Moody used to say: “If a man is born only once he will die twice; if he is born twice he will die only once.” Now we understand why the Lord said to Nicodemus; “Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again.” The Lord went on and explained -the tragic mystery, yet glorious tri­ umph, of the substitutionary atone­ ment by which alone lost sinners can be saved; ♦ “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted tip: that whoso­ ever bclievcth in him should not per- ish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life,” The serpent stands for sin;, brass standi for divine1 judgment, as seen in the brazen altar (Exod. 27:2). “Thp brazen serpent is a type of Christ ‘made sin for us’ (2 Cor. 5:21) in bearing, our judgment.” There is no such love, and no such sacrifice, in time or eternity as that of the Father and the Son for lost sinners, that they might be saved. “DONE TO A TURN” By Barbara B. Brooks Pancakes, griddle, cakes, flap-jacks, wheat cakes, hot cakes, crepes Suz- ette — many are the names and am­ azing the varieties in which these cul­ inary creations appear. Buckwheat or plain with syrup or with honey, or even with butter and steak gravy, large or very small and crisp around the edges — any way they come, they still must be done-to-a-turn, Brown and lovely in color, they stimulate our appetites and appeal to our love of beauty in food. Pale griddle cakes just aren’t griddle cakes, so do them to a turn. Griddle cakes, as we shall call them, are favbrites of long standing with everyone, but somehow the men have a special weakness for them. Just let a man suspect that you, my lovely lady, can whip up a batch of griddle cakes in one-two-three order and there would never be any need of leap year. You would have him eating out of your hand at the first sight of those bard-to-get and easy- to-take griddle cakes — or if not out of your hand, tit least off your grid­ dle. And if you can only equal the golden-brown pancakes which his mo­ ther made for him, but as well can put a twist into the recipe and give your griddle cakes a new crispness and a new flavor, then your success is assured.. Here are some suggestions for .making and baking that put a new flip into your flapjacks. Bring your electric griddle to the table. Have the. batter in a colorful pitcher, and as each person is ready for his cakes, pour them onto the griddle in the size he wishes and bake them to the brownness he likes. This, of course, is merely copying the restaurants who entice their cus­ tomers by having somoeone in the window who dexterously makes and bakes cakes all day. If it works for them, it certainly should work for you. • For that special party during the holidays, when you want to have something that is particularly nice, try a1- pancake breakfast. Serve lots of done-to-a-turn griddle cakes with sausage, steak,, or juicy broiled ham, and see if you don’t achieve some­ thing that will go down in the an­ nals of your community as the best party of the year. This will be the time, also, to introduce the latest style hot-c'ake, which has bran added and it particularly crisp and nutty in flavor. Here is how it .is made.

In a little over three decades the deaths from tuberculosis in Ontario havo been reduced from about 160 for each 100,000 living persons to 37 at the present time. In fact, your chances and mino of dying of tuberculosis are less than one-third of what they were at the turn of tile present century. More than 4,400 mon, women and children will colebrato Christmas with you and me this year who would havo died of tuberculosis in 1936 if this disease wore killing to-day at the same rate as in 1900, when the work of the National • Sanitarium Association was just nicely getting under way. .But in spite of all that has been dono and in spito of the continued decline in deaths from, tuberculosis, it is sad to note that 1,303 people died of this disoaso in Ontario last year. It is doubly sad to learn too that thcro aro about 6,500 actlvo cases of tuberculosis in this Province right now. And what is more to the point, moro than half of the people who died of tuberculosis last year and of those who aro now sick, are young pcoplo In tlio prime, productive ages of life, between fifteen and forty-five, Sixty out of overy ono hundred deaths from tuberculosis occur in those ages.Burly youth, the years between fifteen and twenty-five, is an especially danger­ ous timo for tlio development of tubercu­losis. It is at tills time, when young pcoplo arc in high school, college or just entering into industry, that tuberculosis takes its greatest toll. Because it is not discovered and treated in time, the disease gets a foothold and becomes fatal in as many as eighty young people out of every 100,000 living at ages twonty- fivo to 'twenty-nine, jf all young moil and wonion between fifteen and thirty could bo given a proper, chest X-ray examination, if those found to nave the disease, could bo given proper caro, and if all-the sources froth which they were infected could bo found, tuberculosis could easily bo brought t under control.

At six to nine months a small portion of well-cooked cereal may be advantageously allowed and from the tenth to the twelfth month some ciear soup. In both these per­ iods soft, or hard-boiled yolk of egg may be given. What is/the rationale of this feed­ ing? Meat and fish are body build­ ers. Milk and eggs are also body builders and the latter contains the fat that fills up the wrinkles and aids in maintaining the heat of the body. Vegetables along with fruits supply the mineral elements and the latter contain sugar, a source of energy. The character and quantities of food vary in .the presence of disease. Thus for -example, the difabetic must cut his sugars and starches; the person with anaemia, especially of the pernicious type, must take liver, kidney, the lin­ ing of stomach or live extract. Your .doctor will be able to designate the diet suited to your-needs. The pregnant woman is Dest on a normal diet suited to her condition in life. In addition, she should have, cod- liver oil and seafish, the latter, twice a week. If she is anaemic as many pregnant women are, she will require appropriate medicine from her doctor. The tuberculous need a very nu- tritious diet, The oyerweight person should gradually cut his diqt in sug­ ars, starches and fats, take more ex­ ercise and avoid alcohol. A very good line of food for the ordinary man is as .follows: A glass of wat&r on rising, at 11.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. B'reafcfast — Cereal or eggs. Cocoa, weak tea or coffee or chocolate. Toast or bread and butter. Fruit. Luncheon — Meat ( steak, chops, chicken, fish). Green vegetable or po­ tato. Bread and butter. Light dessert (fruit or plain cake). Dinner -— Meat or fish, Potato. Vegetable. Salad. Bread and Butter. Light dessert as above. Macaroni or spaghetti may be substituted for po­ tato'. Alcoholic liquors do not properly, enter into the diet of the average man. Usually there is no objection to the use of weak tea or coffe at meals. Your doctor can guide you in mat­ ters of diet and you should let hiin "do so especially if you are not get­ ting the best results from the food, you eat. ’ Questions concerning Helath, ad­ dressed to the Canadian Medical As­ sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. DEDICATED TO WILL ROGERS A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ANO LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT A WELL-BALANCED DIET • 5 i Beware of fads and fancies. Eat the essential foods. Chew your food; Eat slowly; don’t bolt your victuals. Leave the table without being com­ pletely satisfied. Don’t try to brace yourself against the daily task by means of stimulants. A well-balanced diet comprises a reasonable amount of the essential foods. These are meat, eggs, milk, fish, vegetables and fruit. If in health you follow this direction, you may ignore all the talk about vitamins, carbohydrates, proteins and the like. In infancy, the best food is moth­ er’s milk. Next to this is cow’s milk modified by the addition of boiled water and granulated white sugar ac­ cording to age. The milk invariably should be pasteurized. If the milk­ man does not pasteurize his supply, drop him and buy from someone who can be trusted to do this properly or, in the small town or country where pasteurized milk is unobtainable, pas­ teurize the milk in a double boiler by heating it to 145 degrees F., keeping it at this temperature for. half an hour and then cooling to which temperature it until used.
