DEATH AND fortune o' i n t tl '
DESTRUCTION
No wader so many people who
read t1ieir daily newspapers at or
after breakfast ]rave indigestion
when one considers the lurid tales
of dearth and destruction that are
served up on the front pages of the
dailies. No wit, wisdom or whim-
sically but a whole tiheet of gloomy
tales that speak of tragedy, sorrow
and estrangements. Here are a few
heads picked from a front page of
a city paper last Friday: Eight
minutes to spell baby's life or death;
Sued by wife; Aird^tile heiress dine;
Boy 13, died a elicrin

Plymouth riot keeping ea

ad infinitum, :That's a oheely lite•
racy bleu to mix with the porridge,
iau't 11? Surely there could be
room on a dally front page for one
ihumorous story or a story of good
a s rare anything to
Ieu$'Ih about in the city any more?
Readers have to turn to ithe week-
lies for the cheery news, items ap-
parently, The weeklies want stories

Poi' instance, some years ago The
Weekly decided to move obituaries
to inside pages, except In the case
of a citizen who ih'as been prominent
in community life; or in case of a
death that occurred just before
press time. That's just the Ole
ference 'between the impersonal
and personal attitude of tbe dailies
and weeklies respectively,

the College of Arts, a Medical
School Building and a building for
the Faculty and Institute of Public
Health.
There are between six and seven
thousand students in the secondary
schools of Western Ontario who
are qualifying for university mat-
riculation. A larger proportion
of these students should seek the
advantages of a higher education.
The courses range in length from
three to six years. The degrees are
B.A., B.Sc., LLB., M.A., M.Sc.,
M D., D.P.H-, C.P.H.N.
In 1936.37 there were 2614
regular students enrolled
Applications for registration
should be submitted as early as
possible. Students should come to
the University prepared to pay
their tuition and living expenses in
full and should not depend on
getting work during their spare
time.
"The minimum standard of edu-
cation for the young man who
would make his life count in
the service of his country is a

WHY DON'T THEY
MOVE OUT
(that's the question we often heal'
asked regarding the farmers in the
dried -out areas of the West, "These
people," Ye hear it said, 'have been
dried out six, seven, eight years,
i why don't they move out?"
Imagine seven or eight years of
drought in the 'best townships
in this region. Think of every
spear of grass as dead and of not a
decent pasture field in all that
period—sof cows, two -year -n -ids and
calves as all dead or marketed!
Crud on these things and you will
see that these westerners cannot
move. They have no money to
move with; they have no place to
i go to and no cash wherewith to pay
for a new 'home,
"Why don't they go to west?
We'd net be stuck!" True, friend,

BREAD DIET PLAN
This Diet Plan gives about 1600
Calories n day—the reducing allow-
ance of the average woman.
• BREAKFAST

Small serving meat, flab or eggs
2 SLICES TOAST, 1 sq. butter
1 cup coffee (clear) 1 tsp. sugar

Average serving 2 vegetables,

2 SLICES-I11CUAD, 1 sq. butter
1 cup coffee or tea (elour) 1 tsp.

THIS diet is based on
three years of re-
search at leading uni-
versities.
You are allowed two
slices of bread at every
meal. Bread helps spare
your muscles and keep up
your energy. You won't be
weak and irritable on this
new reducing diet.
The Bread Diet is unlike
the extreme diets, which
often break down vital tis-
sues, and should never be
taken without a doctor's
advice.
Bread itself is not fat-
tening. It is a combination
of carbohydrates and a
special form of ,protein
that; helps burn up fat
while you are reducing.
Reduce safely on the
Bread Diet with the
main part of your energy
food in bread.

Are the Brewers sincere?
Overheard in a street car
1st Passenger: Do you think the brewers are sincere in this propaganda for
temperance?
2nd Passenger: I don't see why not. Look at the facts. The professional
prohibitionists claim to represent temperance in this province. For
them it is just as wicked to drink a glass of beer as to make a beast
of oneself. The brewers want to point out that true temperance
consists in being able to distinguish between the two.
lst Passenger: Just the same, the brewers are not in business for their health!
2nd Passenger: Oh, granted! Neither are the butchers, the bakers, the candy
makers, the tobacconists!
1st Passenger: But surely there is a difference. Beer—if it is taken in excess
—is not so good.
2nci Passenger: And that is true of all the other trades I mentioned .:
as Health Commissioner Lt. Colonel Francis E. Fronzak testified
before a United States Senate committee, more people die from
over eating than from over drinking!
lst Passenger: And you believe that the brewers are sincerely opposed
to drunkenness.
2nd Passenger: Absolutely! Aren't they urging the temperance people to
get back to their real jobs of temperance education? The real
temperance job is to show people—and especially young people
that it is not drink itself that is wicked, but the way drink is used!
1st Passenger; In other words, the problem is the drinker, not the drink, eh?

A Baby's Smile
The man who has not a kindly
word and a smile for a baby as it
passes him on the street lacks some-
thing in his mental and spiritual
makeup, observes the Port Rowan
News Long before civilization be-
gan its march to glory land, the
baby yas regarded as t.be most beau-
tiful and lovely of all living things.
What will that baby be?
When the mother's imagination
begins to work she can see the boy
not a king, petihaps, but as a success-
ful business man, or a prefessi mal
man. A drunkard or a failure in life
she does not think it possible for
him to be. As the little lad str,och-
es his arms at the bidding of ill;' in-
visible spirit of growth, 11»' nnn•laor's
