FROM AN OLID McKILLOI'
CORRESPONDENT
195 Munro St., Toronto.
lira, Expositor:
There have been all kinds of things
happening since I came here two
weeks ago.
Parliament opened at Queen's Park
with the same fuss and feathers as
of yore. Mr. Hartley Dewart has
strayed away from the leadership of
the Liberal party and sits on the cross
benches with a leaning to the Con-
servatives. McBride, of Brantford,
has left the Government side, and al-
so sits on the cross benches. He is
a Labor man and one of the best
speakers in the House. Wellington
Hay. the Leader of the Liberal party,
is a mild sort.of mart and stili wears
his red carnation. This is the last
session until an election, and many
newspapers and individuals predict
that it will be the finish of the U.F.O.
Government. But those who are pre-
dicting don't know a thing about it;
they should recollect that elections
arc very uncertain.
A new bridge is in course of con-
struction over the Don River on Ger-
rard Street. It will be a magnificent
structure and will cost nearly a mil-
lion dollars. They were at work on
it all last summer and expect to have
it completed this year. It will be
four feet higher than the old bridge,
which will make the approaches a
big undertaking.
Mr. George Lawrence, an old hand
at the baking business, died last week.
He made good bread and his inclina-
tion was to bring down the price.
There is an unfortunate woman in
jail here now who must stand her
trial for murdering her husband,
They did not get along very well and
she got a revolver one morning. When
he saw her with the gun he got into
bed and covered his head with the
bed clothes. She fired at where his
head ought to be and aimed true. He
tried to get out of bed when she put
a ball in his body. After this who
will dare say that a woman cannot
hit what she aims at.
At the last municipal election
Mayor McGuire was elected by near-
ly a thousand of a majority. Some
of the friends of R. J. Fleming, the
defeated candidate, demanded a re-
count, which ,has been going on for
two weeks, each of the men having
lest about an equal number of votes
so far.
Many of the large concerns, such
as wholesale establishments, etc.,
have failed and become insolvent. The
latest I have heard of is the Davies'
Wholesale Boot and Shoe concern,
said to he one of the largest in Can-
ada. A number of dealers in men's
clothing have also failed with heavy
liabilities. These failures ( always
brings pain and suffering to a num-
her of penult..
The weather here has been very
changeable and many persons are
sufTering from colds and the flu, which
medical men say is again back, and
it appears to he the aged and very
ycung who are dying this time from
the malady. There is more snow up
in Huron County than here, and
automobiles and carts are most in
evidence.

HOW TO BE HEALTHY
Editor, Expositor:
The birthright of childhood is an
education that will not only enable
them to manipulate their own way
among their fellows, but to' live
healthy and happy lives. Our bodies
protest in all the variations from the
normal against the treatment meas-
ured out to them. Of course, if peo.
ple wish to have the "flu" and all the
rest of the catalogue of human ail-
ments, they are entitled to the same,
but the road to Wellville is so simple
and easy that all who will may walk
therein. Cleanliness, abstinence and
cheerfulness are among the household
virtues that make for a healthy body
and a sound mind. GSod health is
net entirely but still very largely a
matter of eating. The primitive in-
junction of God to man at the crea-
tion was: Behold T have given you
every herb henring seed, which in
upon the face of all the enrth, and
every tree in which is the fruit of a
tree yielding seed. To you it shall
be for meat. And neither the Bible
nor any other authority shows the
ninth -my of the hnmsn body to be
different now from what it was when
the Creatnr pronounced it good. This
is, then, the hest menu everres t -
p en
ed to the hnmsn niers end although
mer have been trying with all the
perverted ingenuity that clever peo-
ple can devise to Undo the work of
Nature and substitute other things,
such ris minerals, the flesh of an-
imals, white flour Instead of graham,

all they have gained thereby is an
additional knowledge of evil. All
animal life came primiraly from the
vegetables, the fruits, nuts and
grains and when we eat these things
in the form of flesh, we get it all
animalized and much of it diseased
and poisonous, and we get no neces-
sary element that is not found in the
vegetable world. People who die of
cancers are pork or ham eaters, or
they get it in pies and pastry. Now
this is too big a subject to enter into
in all its details in a short newspaper
article, but certain it is that flesh
eating is responsible for 90 per cent.
of the common diseases that are
prevalent among us. One cannot
help but wonder what kind of a
creature of a man it was who first
took to the gruesome habit of eat-
ing flesh. Taste is no guide, as any
habit makes its own taste. Tea, cof-
fee, tobacco, beer and all the refit;
of the artificial home-brew have no
place in the economy of Nature;
.on the other' hand they are nerve
destroyers. Besides the bad selec-
tion of foodstuff is the habit of tak-
ing too much, irregularity in eating
and not sufficiently chewing it.
All intelligent medical men will
agree that drug medicines are poisons
and all persgns will agree that poisons
are causes of disease. Now, why
should the cause of disease be ad-
ministered to cure those who are al-
ready diseased? Can a living body
discard two poisons easier than one?
All drug medical schools teach that
certain drugs have the power or
capacity inherent in themselves to act
upon certain organs or structures of
the vital organism, and that some
of them, termed blood food, cod liver
oil, preparations of iron and so on,
supply certain elements to the sys-
tem which its tissues need and can
use. Neither position is correct.

Health is the first condition of hu-
man happiness. its importance to a
nation or individual cannot be ex-
aggerated. Men become diseased by
uncleanness, sloth, gluttony, by
breathing bad air, by unnatural meth-
ods of living. Do people try to cure
by cleanliness, pure air, and diet?
No, they use horrible drugs, hideous
surgery and bungling remedies and
/IS a result lack of development and
beauty, falling hair, rotting teeth,
failing sight and hearing. Is this the
natural condition of mankind? Have
we no responsibility in the matter?
Is it useless to appeal to the case-
hardened, dogged -indifference of hu-
manity?

wecks. Deceased was burn on the

being the eldest son of the late John
and Mrs, Whitfield, pioneer settlers.
Thirty-one years ago he was marries

to the grooin's farm, where they con-
tinued to reside until four years ago
when, through failure of health, the
fine property was sold and the family
cam„ to Brussels South to take things
a little easier. Mrs. Whitfield, n

since going to Brussels. Wm. Whit-
field, Gorrie, is a brother of deceased
and Mrs. James Thomson, Henfryn,
and Mrs. W. P. Fraser, Stratford, are
sisters. Mr. Whitfield measured up
well to the standard of genuine man-
hood and set before the community an
example worthy of emulation and
that won for him the good -will of
hundreds of friends. In church rela-
tionship he was a Methodist.
