FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1927 WHER TIPPING'S NOT AN EVIL Be ---- Oshawa can boast of many things, and one is that it might easily be called the *Tipless City." There is a rumor around of # Celestial waiter in one of the local res- ., taurants being under medical treatment since * 'Thanksgiving day from shock. He found, "' {t is said, a nickle under the plate of a re- cent diner. The shock consisted in his find- _ ing, later, that the nickel had a hole in it. e travelled admit that tipping is a widespread and growing evil. It puts a pre- mium on service, undermines economic val- ues, and adds another temptation to the . many which confront the young to live be- "+ yond their means. For these and other ex- cellent reasons it should be generally frown- "ed upon, Yet there are two faithful friends that should be remembered at this season of the year by those that can afford it. The one is the Letter Carrier; the other is the News Boy, Both are good citizens, the latter is in the making and the other, very frequently, is * 'one of those who gave their youth in the gervice of Canada in the years between 1914 and 1918. The news boy is an ambitious chap. He goes his way with the pride of men who are making- their way in the world. Without him the greatest newspapers would face in- superable circulation problems. It would be hard on the newspapers, but, at t' : .ame time, it would leave a void in many homes that no radio could fill. Remembering him and his elder brother "of the Postal Service at Christmas is not, in a strict sense, "tipping." It's merely recog- nizing the services of friends. REVIVAL OR SURVIVAL In the face of police evidence that Elno Kuusela, Canada's cave boy, had been bru- tally beaten before he took to the woods where he maintained himself in a self-made cave, Supt. J. J, Kelso of the Children's Aid Society of Ontario hastens to explain the lad's action 8s "a revival of primitive in. , stincts."® The meaning one takes from Mr. Kelso's explanation is that he is a supporter of the k ; +. evolutionary theory which he sees confirmed 5 oof EL in the abused youngster's return to sav- agery. So far, one is inclined to disagree "1 with him, The primitive instinct which really awoke in young Elno's breast was probably a more ancient thing than his inheritance from probable cave-dwelling ancestors. That is to «8ay, self-preservation. A beating that can leave marks on a child's body two months after it was inflicted shows that Canadian nature, at its bitterest winter malignity, can be more kind than a man who can wreak a hell-born passion upon a defenceless boy. . * Mr. Kelso, in common with too many other 'Government officials in Toronto, seems af- flicted with the executive complex. They sit yack in their offices arid explain life by form- nlas, If life doesn't conform to their pre- . conceptions, so much the worse for life. "To say that this "Cave Boy" could have complained to his district inspector is mere. ly officialdom begging the question, Of course he could have complained and all he might have got for his pains would have beén another brutal beating and a lecture on Grown-ups can play the fool in an infinite number of ways, but never with more ab- ject witlessness than when dealing with chil- DOCTORS AND LIQUOR Members of the Medical Association of .

That was the reference to 'modern ethical standards," There aren't any. The only standards that endure are religi- ous because standards without religion are sterile. Plato was a great philosopher. His "New Republic" is much cherished by a few great minds of each generation. But St. John's New Jerusalem continues to be the goal of all who seek a city rot made with hands. Modern ethical standards, which do not exist, are really modern ethical compro- mises. A man without conviction about the elementals of life is the victim of his own un- inspired generosity. Take the'theater. There has been a grad- ual letting ddwn in that department of cul- ture since the days when to say "Darn" be- hind the footlights was considereo the heighth of audacity. "Darn" was foistea on the "ethical" as being art; so was "flamn"-- an expletive long since grown stale amongst the Thespans. Today,: the lower theaters carry gutter proianity as a part of their business. -- HUMBLING A TEMPORARY PEER i we---- The late war has its "temporary, lieuten- ants" who were ragged by permanent force snobs as being, also, "temporary gentlemen," Hungary, however, has creatéd an order of, Temporary Peers since the partition of Eur- MMED, FIMUATY, ULC -- Need for Fixing Germany's Payments on Reparations Meets With Denial Paris, Dec. 23.--Further indica- tions of disagreement by toe 'French with the 'recommendations of Seymour Parker Gilbert, the agent-general for reparations pay- ments, in his annual report that the total of Germany's reparations obligations be fixed wag given in a vigorous attack Tuesday by Vie. tor Henri Berenger, former Am- bassador to the United States. In an article appearing in "Le Jour nal" under the caption "The Ac tualities of Tomorrow' the cor author of the Mellon-Berenge: agreement for funding the Frencn war debt to the United States reiterates the French contention that a revision of the Dawes plan t be idered separately from a revision of the inter-allied war debts and asserts that even it all external war debts were can celled France should still be reim bursed by Germany about $5.000, 000,000 for the interior debt con- nected with reparations. M. Berenger credits Mr. Gilbert with making a sensational au- nouncement because he sees an obh- stacle and what he thinks Is a way out. The former ambassador dis agrees strongly and says thai tae Dawes plan experts themselves recor nized that they had no auth- ority to fix the total of German's debt. M. Beranger cites the facts that German reparations are at at $33,000,000,000 and Europe's war debts to the United States a' $23.000,000,000 leaving 41 margin of $10,000,000000 he said, These $10,000,000,000--o0f which France has a right to $6,000,000, 000 remain for France her supreme guarantee that evem with ll the exterior war debts annulled the part of her interior debt which concerns repar. tions will he reim- bursed to her by Germany, This ope at Versailles, and tHereby hangs the tale of one Szijj, a peasant, and his downfall. Szijj was elected to the Hungarian House of Magnates, which automatically confers the dignity of nobility upon its new mem- bers. Szijj took it very much to heart. The villagers were in awe of him; the old wives pointed, a few of the less stronz-of-will dof- fed hats in his presence. All this was gratifying. Great was Szijj! But, in due course the village beadle came to "Lord" Szijj's house with a summons stat- ir , "hat the Muagnate was on picket duty for the night. Szijj boiled. *"This to me!" one fancies his gad roaring, "me, 8zijj! Heaven for- bid} Now 8zijj is under indictment and will be tried for shirking duty. It is to 'be feared that he will find a critical court and an un. sympathetic jury, He has committed the ancient ofience oi preiending to be some- thing he is not. Poor Szijj!

WELSH DINNER AT AUTHOR'S GLUT T. P. Q'Conner Lauds Eng- lish Indifference to Criticism London--A Welsh dinner took place at the Authors' Club -- the first event of its kind for thirty-six years T. Huws Davies was the guest of honor, and Sir John Danle! presided. T. P, O'Connor sald: "The Welsh and the Irish repreent two branches of the Celtic race. Among other qualities which we have is, I think, that we are a little tnd sensitive of criticism, I admire many things in Englishmen, but there is one quality above all I admire, and that is their indiffer- ence to criticism, Just imagine what the state of America would be if we had a lunatic mayor like Masor Thompson of Chicago. t Laughter.) He is a man who said he was determined to keep the King George '"snoot" out of Chi- cago. And when I think of that shy, high-minded, modest King we have, when I think of his "snoot" endeavoring to effect an entrance to the great city of Chicago, I was delighted to find my English fel- low-countrymen take the proper view--laugh consumedly. (Cheers ) "But there is no reason in any- thing that this gentleman has said that would delay for one hour the greatest of all consummations in the word today, and that is the co- operation between the English- speaking races, which will be abie to say to the world, 'There shall be no more war'." (Cheers.) T. Huws Davies claimed for Wales that it stood out as a na- tion in which mucic, literature, and art were (its very fabric. "Where else in the whole world," he said, "would you find a nation that year in, year put centres its whole intrest upon an institution such as the National Eisteddfod, where high and low will sit for a whole week to listen to good mu- sic and engage in literary gym- nastics?"

Barton, M.D.) Suppo:ting Abdominal Organs If you were to go into some hospitals you would find cases that did not appear to be very sick. The temperature is mormal, pulse normal, and they appear '0 be pretty comfortable generally. However you would see that some of them are lying face down- wards with a couple of pillows un- der the abdomen, others with pil- lows or supports under the shoul- ders, the small of back, under knees, and so forth. What is the idea? . There are cases where the ab- dominal organs have "dropped" due to various causes; and these "supporting" methods, with rest of mind and body, is the treatment advised. As you know, any of the abdom- inal organs may drop. The stom- ach of ten swings from the position of nearly erossways in the body, until it is in a perpendicular, straight, or up nnd down position. You can readily see that this means some climb for food 10 reach the intestine. In fact it is in these cases that we recommend !y- ing on right side for fifteen min- utes, before the next meal is taken. so that anything lying undigested in stomach may sypbon into the small intestine, and thus have stomach clear to receive the mext meal. Also loops of intestine that should be held up by a support from the spinal! column drop down- ward, and food a waste remain at the V port the loop for tne lonz a period, causing delay in 1i- restion. and distress from gas formation. Now what is the cause of this dropping of the contests of the ab- domen? either hereditary or acquired. The fact that It ig found in girls and young women, and is not eommon ip men till toward middle age, would lead us to heliéve thay wo- men are paturally weaker, However | believe It is because boys play more than girls. A boy is elimbing a fence. and playing It is usually due to weakness, games with the other boys, when | Ba he dis thre» or four years old. A girl plays "'aoll" or 'jacks,' some- timeg "tag." The running and bending that games demand, build up the ab- dominal museles of the boy, and these stand him in stead for years after he stops taking exercise. Then from forty years onward, if he neglects exercise entirely, ue may have trouble with this "drop- ping" of the organs of the abdo- men,' i» ' Surgery has been used success- fully in some of these cases but the supportive treatment -escrib- ed above should first be 'tried. For some of these cases, in the early stages, a simple abdominal belt, and the development of the abdominal muscles by bending exercise, touching toes with the knees straight, will be effective treatment.
