THIRD PRIZE ESSAY

Why "I Would Choose a Total Ab-
stainer Rather Than a Moderate
Drinker as the Driver of
My Automobile
What a happy carefree manner in
'which to spend the afternoon! Spin-
ning along over a smooth, wide scen-
ic country road, with all the glories
of spring unfolding around you. With
not a trouble in the world, every re-
volution of the wheels brings some
new panorama of spring before your
eyes. Nothing could be more jolly,'
.out look outl Watch that car careen-
ing towards you! Another drink -
crazed driver. Suddenly your thought,
i, terminated by a crash. Then silen
ce .
How many similar accidents have
occurred? How many lives have been ;
suddenly terminated, and a peaceful
afternoon outing been turned into a
catastrophe?
In these supposedly enlightened ,
days of Christianity and civilization
I have a desire to know why one 1
cannot pick up a newspaper without
being confronted by glaring black
headlines describing the latest auto-
mobile accident duo to the fact, that
the driver :was under the influence
of liquor.
A famous philusophcr once said;
"Wealth is the source of all evil." I
disagree with him, In my opinion,
,john Barleycorn has been the cause
of more disastrous events than
wealth ever attempted to be. The
greatest peril there is nowadays is
to find yourself in the same locality.
with an intuaieated driver in the pos-
eession of a weapon of destruction
it the shape of a modern high-power-
ed automobile. It has been found
that a modern automobile travelling
at the velocity of forty-five miles per
hour has the striking force to move
a solid mass weighing two tons some
eighty feet! Irnagine such an instru-
ment in the hands of a dipsomaniac
(drunkard).
You may argue that the man who
only takes a glass now and then is
equally as able physically and men-
tally as the total abstainer. But in
a critical moment the moderate
drinker would lose just that addition-
al ability mentally and physically
that is possessed by the man who
does not drink and his inability
would probably end in disaster. In
an old fable there was mentioned a
magnetic mountain that would draw
the bolts out of passing ships and
leave them a wreck. So it is with
liquor. It takes all the good qualities
out of a man and leaves him a wreck
on the shoals of failure. Take Major
Seagrave, the British speed champ-
ion. He's a total abstainer and does
not take alcohol in any forma Hurtl-
ing down Daytona Beach at a speed
never imagined by our fore -fathers
he needed all his strength of mind
and body to control the intricate
maze of machinery under him. One
twist of the wrist and nothing would
remain but a twisted, smoking rem-
nant of this god of speed. and his
chariot. Take the country of Ger-
many. There everyone drinks beer
from the scholars to the old men in
the chimney -corners. Is it due to
this fact that the Germans are the de-
bauched, sluggish and legarthic race
that they are?
If at some future date my Castles
in Spain should be realized and I be-
come a roan of means, there would
be no matter to which I would ex-
ercise so much attention as to . the
choosing of my chauffeur. The .first
consideration would be to know
whether he was a total abstainer or
the proverbial drunkard. If he were
the former I would have no doubts
as to keeping hen in my employment.
If the latter I would discharge him
at once. Why, you ask, all these pre
cautions? The answer is simple,
Does not your chauffeur have your
life entrusted to his keeping? And
it is essential that if a man has a
human life entrusted to his care, be
be capable of filling that responsibil-

SPOTTON'S MEETING
I went to Spotton's meeting to hear
our Hired Man's tale,
Of how he'd used his trusty tools,
and just to what avail;
How he had plied his hammer, how
driven home his nail,
What kind of seving he had employed

Grains of Wheat and Rice
Sh.;t from Huge
To make them twice as delicious .
How exploding 125 million food
cells makes Puffed Wheat and
Puffed Rice as nourishing as
hot cooked cereals.
WAVE you tasted this utterly different kind of
cereal ... Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice . . , the
crispest, crunchiest cereal on the market today?
Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice ate different because
they're made differently. Choice full -.flavored grains of
wheat and rice are sealed in huge bronze guns. Thein
revolved in fiery ovens. This expands the natural mois-
ture in the .millions of tiny food cells. Then the guns
are fired. Causing 125 million explosions in every grain.
Every tiny food cell is blasted open. The grains are
made as completely digestible as though they had been
cooked for hours. Hence Puffed Wheat and Puffed
Rice ate virtually as nourishing as hot cooked cereals.
These grains "'shot from guns" become 8 times
normal size. They have all the buttery crispness of
fresh. toast. They taste like sweet new nutmeats.
Fever before was rich grain nourishment made so.
delectably good to eat, Order Puffed Wheat and,
Puffed Rice from your grocer today, The Quaker Oats
Company.

But, I was disappointed, for other
"Lights" were there,
Who took a .mean advantage of a
most indulgent chair,
They did not seem to think the 'meet'
was Spotton's big affair,
And of the brief, and .precious time,
they stole the Lion's share.
While Spotton, vexed itinerant, .paced
o'er the platform floor,
The Simcoe and the Renfrew guilt
maintained their awful roar,
And spat their bullets far and wide,
till I, at least got sere;
And kept repeating to myself, the
"Ravens," "Nevermore."
Of the Liberal party's many cringes,
the audience knew enough,
It had watched it, o'er and o'er again,
dish up its trashy stuff;
Had been inoculated, too, with its
clarifying? snuff,
And confused beyond endurance by
its tantalizing bluff.
But I think that party feeling is 'a
thing to be tabooed,
Especially in times like these, it
should not be renewed;
I'm sure Canadian interests, would be
better, truer, viewed,
:If. those bitter party feelings could
be utterly eschewed.
We should not send our hired man
like a focman to a fight,
But to end all sorts of evils, and set
every covering aright,
To trim the . torch of justice, so it
may show the light;.
And testify . abundantly, that ever
Right is Might.
Reviewing Spotton's conduct, in the
Session just gone by,
It did not show him humble, .11 did
not show him: shy;
It did not show always stick, quite
close to Tory fry;
But where his conscience led hint,
right 'thither did he hie.
I know he gloried in his work, and
valued high his spade.
An implement designed for use, and
wonderfully made;
Which dug immense incisions, about
a ton it weighed,
.And, oh, its excavations—just wait till
they're 'assayed,
True, George is but a young man,
unskilled as yet, although,
He's shown some real ability in hand -

His fork, he uses forcefully, his rake

His tools, 'tis true, are made for use,

He isn't fond of patching, inserts he

And silly kinds of makeshifts, he'll

So we are going to trust him, quite
sure he'll do his best,
To serve ars faithfully and well, with

He's not the least concerned about

HEART DISEASE
The heart is a muscle organ which
acts as a pump, sending the blood to
all parts of the body, The blood must
reach all parts because it carries the
nutrition upon which depends the
very life of each part.. If the heart
is damaged, the result is heart . dis-
ease. Depending upon the nature and
extent of the damage, the heart is
correspondingly unable to carry out
its work.
The heart muscle may be damaged
as the result of infection. The pois-
ons given off by germs are very apt
to cause injuries to the heart muscle.
Rheumatic fever, syphilis, diphtheria
and scarlet fever are the principal dis-
eases in which the heart is damaged
by the poisons of the germs which
cause them,
.Another form of infection which is
frequently responsible for heart dis-
ease is that which is caused by ton-
sillitis and diseased teeth. to such
cases,' there is a focus of infection
in. tonsils or teeth where poisons are
produced by the germs living at the
focus, and such poisons, when carried
in the blood stream, may damage the
heart,
Acute rheumatism is the chief
cause of Heart disease in early life.
The specific cause of rheumatism is
not known. It should be understood
that growing pains, tonsillitis, chorea
and St. Vitus' Dance are evidence of
rheumatism in children. '
Theprevention of heart disease be-
gins with the maintenance of physi-
cal fitness by proper food, fresh air,
sunshine, rest and play. A clean
mouth, which means regular dental
care, and the treatment or removal
of diseased teeth; the treatment,'`or
removal, if necessary, of diseased ton
•sils; prompt attention to tonsillitis
or sore throat, growing pains; or
painful joints, chorea or St. Vitus'
Dance, are all essential, as are the
prevention' of diphtheria by immuni-
zation at an early age, protection
against the communicable diseases
and proper care of these, if Contract-
ed, with particular supervision during
the convalescence.
As the individual grows older, care
should, be taken to avoid those con-
ditions which, although not direct:
causes, do predispose the heart to
0
damage or to the breakdown of a
heart already somewhat damaged,
Such conditions are excesses of any.
kind, whether in food or drink, or in
the manner of life. Too little or too
much exercise, lack of rest, over -eat-
ing and worry are some of the factors
which contribute to the incidence of
heart disease.
When heart disease is detected ear-
ly, and the individual is able and' will-
ing to adjust his life to the capacity
of a. weakened' organ, lie very fre-
quently outlives his friends because
of the reasonable care which he gives
himself.

Senator Wilson
It seems that for once a politician
has done something, of which every-
one approves. I have not seen a dis-
seating voice, in the Press, on Mrs.
Wilson's appointment to the Senate,
but there have been none, to my
knowledge, who have questioned the
wise choice; of Mrs. Wilson. Itis
an unusual state of affairs and quite
flattering to Mrs. Wilson, and a re-
cognition of her unquestioned ability.
Mrs. Wilson admonishes the wo-
men to vote. It is a wise admoni-
tion. It doesnot matter which side
you vote for, but be interested, and
else your franchise to, the best of your
0l
ability. The organization of the
young people, of both parties, is an
encouraging note. 'They tell us that
we Canadian women are not as in-
terested in politics as the English wo-
men. One reason has been, that we
did not start early enough. If you
want to. arouse interest and enthus-
iast., you Must catch them young.
Women are accused of not having
clone very much with their franchise,
but there has been a considerable
amount of social legislation passed
since women had the franchise. But
whether it was because the women
had the vote or not; it is hard to say,
but the fact remains that we have
the new laws. Such Acts .as The
Adoption Act, The Maintenance of
Parents Act, The Venereal Registra-
tion Act, and legislation favoring wo-
men, in cases where men die intestate,
are .examples.
.A merry party was going on in one
of the rooms of a•large hotel when
the festivities were interrupted by an
attendant, who said: "Gentlemen, I've
been sent to ask you to make less
noise. The gentleman in the next
room says he can't read."
"Can't read," replied the host,
"Weil, tell him he ought to be ash-
amed of himself. Why, I could read
when I was five."
