Young Britons
"War Babies"' Show Ren-tark-I
able Stamina and Set ''Re-
cord in England for
"Super" Qualities
Loudon,—A quarter of tt million of
the sturdiest youngsters ever born in
Mrdlain have left school to start the
battle of life in earnest,
They are those despised "war
babies" who, because they have not
been coddled end overfed, are taller
and heavier than their parents Were
at their age,
This quarter of a million of young
boys and girls might be termed the
second batch or "war babies, All the
gloomy prophecies and pessimistic die-
Iaragement levelled against the "war
baby" in recent years have beep'dis-
persed by the statement of a high
County Council health officer.
"They are the finest rearedin the
history of the nation. They are an
inch taller and four pounds heavier
than their parents at the correspond-
ing age, Their posture and carriage,
too, are better, There is no cempari,
on between the modern boy and girl
and their counterpart of twenty years
ago."
Medical and educational authorities
are enthusiastic about the now genera-
tion, and there is every Sign that the.
.1929 baby will surpass the 250,000
stalwart yonngsteis now Ealing the
field,
.Reports from infant death °entree,,
the National Baby Week tiouncil, eclu-
eational and child welfare Officials
form one long -panegyric of the 1929
baby,
Phey are super -babies," said an in-
fant welfare centre 'official, "sturdy,
bright and intelligent to a .degree
which would stagger their forefathers.
The modern baby is more advanced at
three months than the prewar baby at
twelve months, Before the war the
average baby ted and slept, until he
was two years: old:"
"Wily is It?" said a nurse at an in-
fant hospital, "Simply because .we
leave the modern baby alone and do
not coddle It, (Jive it Tight, airy
•clothes, proper food, plenty of sun,
and then leave It alone,"
Besides schoolrooms nurseries, kin-
dergartens are better planned nowa-
:days. As a matter of fact, the only
adterse criticism against the modern
baby is that modern children are more
"nervy.,.
Fat babies have gone out of fashion.
The baby experts look upon the fat
baby as a coddled and overfed child,
and bright eyes and agility count more
than avoirdupois In the 1929 Babyland.
"Every statistic and report submit-
ted during the last few years prove
that the talk. about 'race degeneration
is so much humbug," was how a
schoolmaster summed up the case.

"No Smoking"
Whattver may be the reaction of
passengers to the Graf Zeppelin to the
"no smoking" rule, at least it will meet
with the approval of members of the
United States Forestry Service. They
recently have sl own conclusively that
cigarettes and cigars thrown from
airplanesmay cause serious forest
fires, "To prewar() some dependable
information, experiments with a forest
patrol plane were conducted at the
Spokane airport," says the report.,
"Lighted cigars and plain `.ipped cig-
arettes of brands commonly in use
were dropped from altitudes of ap-
proximately 500 and 1,000 feet above
the ground. At the time of the tests
the temperature was about 75 degrees
Fahrenheit, relative humidity 34 per
cent, and wind movement about seven
miles an hour. Of six cigarettes re-
covered four were still burning when
picked up.
"All five cigars recovered were still
burning. t did not appear that in-
creasing the height of fall from 500 to
1,000 feet was an important factor."

At the present time the expedition

whether the industrialists and bust.
nese men would have agreed to return

Protection Which Means Much
:)iphtheria is disease which' is
particularly dangerous in childhood.
There are very few deaths from this
disease among grown-aps; it talfes
its greatest toll from among young
children, in Ontario to -day there is
no excuse for any "child starting
school without proteetionl against
diphtheria, for the reason that science
has perfected a preventive which is
supplied free of charge to physiolaos
for the use of all children within the
province, Toxoid is the name of
this preventive; is given in three
doses three weeks apart injected into
the skin of the forearm.
Mothers and Lathers would be will-
ing to risk their lives to save a baby
even if it meant pulling him from the
railway track in face of an approach-
ing train or dashing in front of a rac-
ing motor car. Yet the danger of
diphtheria is an ever-present one for
the unprotected child from one to ten
Years of age. Toxoid is a proven
protection against this danger or
childhood; it is insurance for the
child and the parent—and is supplied
free by the Department of Health of
Ontario,

No soul can be healthy without the

must climb the mount of the revealed
purpose of God. It must take a turn
up the slopes of some outstanding pro-
mise, Get thee up into the high

where thou canst see the land that is

GETTING ON 1N THE WORLD
There are many different ways of
getting on in the world. It does not
always mean making a great deal of
money, or being a great man, whom
people look up to with wonder, Leav-
ing off a bad habit for a good one is
getting on in the world; to be clean
and tidy, instead of dirty and disorder-
ly, is getting on; to be careful and
saving, instead of thoughtless, and
wasteful is getting on; to be active
and industrious, instead of idle and
lazy, is getting on; to be hind and for-
bearing, instead of ill-natured and
quarrelsome is getting on; in short,
when we see anyone properly atten-
tive to his duties we may be sure that
he is getting on in the world,
