"ORONTO OFFICE: SW How Bula ¢ 66 Temperance Street, Telephone Adelaide wv7. {. D., Tresidder, representative. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1927 I COWARDLY SENTENCE a One of the things which accounted for hos- tility to the late Ontario Temperance Act amongst people holding sincere temperance | drinciples was the fact that, under it, mere . children were occasionally convicted and sen- + tenced either as bootleggers or for "having in . possession," ~ Port Burwell, however, shows that under the Liquor Control Act similar criminalizing of children can be carried out anc. probably with nore effectiveness. A boy 13 years of age has been convicted . of bootlegging in that town and sentenzed to . serve an indeterminate period in the Mimico Industrial School, Just as in such cases under the O.T.A,, a child is made the victim while the men actually responsible are not brought to justice. The reason is not far to seek. The sentencing of a 18-year-old child for such a crime is merely public admission of police inefficiency ; lack of interest by the Gov- ernment concerned; and a condition of public 'conscience that is hardly short of alarming. No child of 13 is a criminal. Such may be either sick or incorrigible, but there can be no criminality before character is fully formed. Sentencing of this child at Port Burwell in -his manner is a reproach to Ontario. UP TO HIS STANDARD Bernarr Macfadden, United States publisher of magazines that might well be termed "Amal- rnmated Trash" is now bombarding newspapers , vith stories of his triumphs in England. His ndvertising "space buyer," no less, is inform- 'no Canadian journals that Mr, Macfadden "has oly been asked by the British Government 0 give a lecture in the House of Commons and e House of Lords." A report of that speech Wik and somewhat contogted event follows. Macfadden, we are informed, urged world peace in his remarks, and his alleged host, Sir Nicholas Grattan-Doyle of Newcastle-on-Tyne is quoted as saying that "I want to say in the presence of our guest that never at any time has there ever been any anti-American feeling in England." In the pause ascribed to Dr. Samuel John- son's turning ¢ ~r in his grave, Mr. Macfadden arose to reply. He did not, however, follow his *host's lead and tell one also. He went directly to the heart of his mission and lectured Eng- land thus: "Every boy and girl should indulge in some sort of athletics, such as running, wrestling, boxing and swimming. Thus your people could not only retain their athletic ability to 25 or 30, but to middle age and even far beyond." The speaker also urged the creation of a Ministry of Athletics in England just as in Germany. The League of Nations should take action 2nd order the lecturers of any given nation to do their stuff at home. MORE LIVER COMPLAINT Freshmen of the 0.A.C. at Guelph picked an unfortunate season of the year for their hazing escapade. Livers of numbers in the Province have not yet recovered from Thanks- giving tables, and that is probably the real rea- son why such a hue-and-cry is being raised in Toronto with respect to the hazing of that young but over six-foot tall Englishman. The affair, admittedly, was deplorable, but, like most other deplorable things, chiefly be- cause it got into the day's news and with ad- mitted exaggeration. There is, also, the un- fortunate fact that Beddoes was ome of the Government's proteges in the wholly commend- able scheme of trying to break English young- sters into Canadian life. But, be fair! Beddoes had a chance. He was elected president Of his class, the same one that The OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1927 duty to ey but a {uat people can very easily tire of being hag-ridden merely because they are supposed to do thus and so as evidence of their "right thinking." Toronto papers, for instance, have a wide circulation in Oshawa without any particular good to this city. Yet no Toronto paper design- ed to devote even an editorial paragraph to the need of bringing the recent abductors of an Oshawa school boy to justice. These men gg 'their way to perpetrate what- ever deviltry their next period of drunkenness may suggest. But Guelph is another matter. Youth has broken out and created a "situation." The liver brigade, in consequence, is out for blood. It sees its own dignity threatened by this incident, and its pillows are haunted by visions of a whole Province demanding consistency which would be bad indeed for{allwho ean strain at gnats but who can and do swallow camels, CODIFYING HUMAN RACE A situation cxists today which the primitive founders of th: English language could not possibly have {>rcseen. The makers could not have fore.oid the English colonization of America and .\ustralia and the carrying of the language intc the four corners of the earth, nor could they have accurately calculated the future growth of the world's population. Their lack of foresight resulted in a woeful dearth of proper and surnames. In the early days of the language the cata- log of clan names kept pace with the growth of population, but even if it hadn't each Smith, Jones and Johnson moved only in the orbit of his little village, so no confusion of names and identities arose. But today in England alone there are 530,000 people named Smith, and' of these 204,000 are J. Smith, 41,000 are John Smith, 30,000 are J. W. Smith and 5,000 John William Smith, An English inventor has conceived a plan which, if universally adopted, would eliminate all the confusion, annoyance and loss now re- sulting from the similarity in names. His scheme is to supplement personal names by a code designation, to which he has given the name '"monomark.," Each person would be given a monomark and would be registered under that mark at a central headquarters. Use of the mark on jewelry, baggage, stationery, mail and other articles and property would make it as simple to find the owner of a lost article as to locate the owner of an automobile, The Englishman's system is ingenious and eventually be found indispensable, but a great- er exercise of ingenuity and originality on the part of parents would make the codification of human beings necessary. NO STEADFAST RULE A critic once said that "an educated poet is almost always a bad poet; that scholarship produces critics, not creators, and encourages pedantry rather than passion." The facts are .convincing that the author of the criticism was a poor judge of good' poetry. Among the university poets were Spencer, Marlowe, Milton, Dryden, Donne, Gray, Gold- smith, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Scott, Byron, Shelley, Tennyson and Swinburne. Among the non-university poets were Shakespeare, Pope, Cowper, Burns, Blake, Keats and Browning. It is cvident, therefore, that university train- ing is not essential to poesy. But the fact that such poets as Pope and Keats never attended a university does not prove them uneducated. Mr. G. K. Chatterton describes Browning as "the most educated man that ever lived," but Brewning never 'attended an institution of higher learning. The man who said "an educated poet is al- most always a bad poet" is no more in error than the fellows who believe that one must go to college to be educated and that every col- lege man is an educated man. EDITORIAL NOTES A fanatic habitually substitutes belief for thought. Conservatives are but men who have learned to love the new order forced upon them by radicals. People who spend their time talking about hats women wear have mighty little to occupy their minds.

W. Bartom, M.D.) (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) THE "COMMON COLD." I am wondering if as sensible hu- man beings we are paying enough | attention to what we call "the eom- | mon cold". } | It is true that some of our health i writers are certainly doing their du- ty in warning their readers that the common "cold" is not really a "cold" but an infection of the nose, throat, or bronchial tubes brought on from bad hygienic habits. As mentioned before, the fact | that these colds are as common in! California as they are in Canada, | should be sufficient proof to us that | something besides the weather is | the big factor in the causation of | colds. It has been shown by health or- ganizations that the number of days' absence from work due to 'colds', costs the country million: ! of dollars yearly, Dr. V. 8. Cheney, no medical subject which has a greater interest for civilized man- kind than the common cold. 1 say | civilized mankind purposely for my experience of many years with the | native Indians of the Southwest con { vinces me that colds, as we know them, are a product of civilization'. Now, as almost half the time lost from work in all industries is due | to this comomn cold, it is certainly | true that this saying "Oh it's only | a litle cold" should be changed to "somehing is irritating my npper ai, , passages, and I must try out what is causing it, hefore it takes too much out of me, and leaves me in a condition to 'get anothe one in a short time." Naturally, it has always thought that a cold was an infec- tion that could be passed from one member of the family to the oth- ers. But Dr. Cheney tells us that more colds are found on holidays and days following holidays, and also days following hanquets or par- ties, where there is an of good things to eat including too much meat, than at other times. Therefore, an acute cold is likely due to eating too much acid food, | meats, eggs, and cereals, thus low ering the alkaline reserve in the blood. This means that colds ean he pre vented hy cutting down on the acid foods and taking some alkali, such as baking soda. says 'there is | When a cold has started, omit- | ting a meal, and cleansing intestine and taking a little soda, is log ical | tre: atment, | And why | Log wie Because we eat more, | | ; | f stay in- 100 S more, and exercise less in cold weather, It is, then, the same old story, a [ little daily exercise will prevent most of these colds, because it will take care of the extra food eaten.
