REPRESENTATIVES IN US. Powers and Stone, New York and Chicago. H . SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1927 a ali Ob VOTING ON MONDAY gov -------- .. On Monday next the electors of three of ithe wards in the City will have an oppor tunity of selecting from the candidates in 'the field the aldermen to represent them on the 1928 Council, It ig to be sincerely re- gretted that similar opportunity is not-being given in the other two wards, and for the position of Mayor, The same is true of the other offices that have w cn filled by acclama tion, In the opinion oi this newspaper ac- elamations for civic offices do not as a rule indicate a healthy condition with respect to | public affairs, v In the wiirds where there are contests for aldermen selection of the best candidates is b.mot an - easy -matter and we: believe many ectors will experience~the same difficulty | we. fecl in making a selection of all three candidates for whom they are entitled to vote. ' ) In the South-West ward two members of L the 1927 Council are seeking re-election and & will probably be returned on the ground that they have had experience in municipal. af- fairs," The choice fodthird place will likely fall between the two new men who are run- \ ning, though Dan Douglas, who is an aggres- sive worker, may surprise both his friends I" and opponents, However, we are not seeking 'to specially favor any of the candidates in J this ward, : ! : "In the South-East Ward, while 'the field is ] equally limited, al} four men have had prev- _jous municipal experience, and any three of them should render useful' service, Each has some special qualifications to commend himself to the electors and perhaps it is not "unfair to say that each also has some traits "'that make for unsuitability for public office. § Of the four men running we believe the elec: tors: should: make sure of 'A. J. Graves, who "js a sincere and honest eandidate and a true friend of the workingman, : .. In the North-east Ward, aside from the % Alderman who is seeking re-election, Peter "MacDonald; the seleétion is most difficult, This is not hecause of lack of numbers, as there are five other ea there are not among them any outstanding , men' that electors can select with, full as- 'surance of obtaining efficient A ,.

Work brings joy to more people than any other form of human eflort, Poor deluded souls lament that they musi work, while they know deep down in their consciousness that they are getting more fun out of their work than out of their automobile, golf or radio, To scold and complain is human, Because tnose denied the benevolence of an inheritance must work for a living, it is their duty to themselves to take for their life work that which is productive of the greatest pleasure as well as of the greatest profit, Parents and tutors should advise and guide, but should never drive and coerce young men and women into a vocation which holds forth no appeal to them or for which they show no aptitude, Where there is love there will be success, because love creates eagerness to go and work and think for the thing loved, |, THE BRAIN IS SUPREME Remember now on the night of May 24 or July first you used to take a little fire- works stick called a sparkler, and whirl it about?

What Others Say A PASSING FANCY (Toronto Globe) Kissing the bride is out of fash- ion in this vicinity. When a guest at a recent wedding was asked if he had kissed the bride, he replied: "Not lately." SOUNDS PRETTY GOOD (Ottawa Journal) It has a prett sound that Canadian National incident of paying off a little item of thir. teen million lars of bonded debt before the debt is due. NOTHING SERIOUS (The Passing Show) "Well, what is wrong with your dear husband?*" "I think, doctor, that he is worry- ing about money." : - "Well, I can relieve him of that. GIFTS FROM THE HEART (Brantford Expositor) For every gift that is made with- out a kindly thought, "a duty gift," there are a million that caiwy the heart with them. They have been planned with care, and very often they represent sacrifice and deprivation so that the giver might buy or make them, and for ue most part they are quite suitable and acceptable. A WOLF AS A PET (Edmonton Journal H. A. Chapman, of Mirror, states that in 1906, a tailor named Up ton, in Pincher Creek, got a tim- ber wolf puppy while it was still too young to leave the den, and tamed it until it was MHke a dog. The animal was given the run of the town, going through the stores at will, and playing with p:ssers- by in the most approved puppy style, Word of the taming spread through the country and many motorists made special trips to Pincher Creek to see it. Mr, Chap- man, however, does not state what eventually happened to the wolf, THE ESCAPE OF MR, DRURY (Ottawa Journal) Tried hefore the U.F.O.,, on a charge of political heresy, or, to he more exact, on a charge of politi- cal bigamy, and with Miss Agnes Macphail as chief counsel for the prosecution, B. C. Drury, whom some people will reiuemoer as uav- ing one been premier of Ontario has es aped through a disagree ment of the jury. A motion of censure against him which. had it been adopted, worl have meant his '"excommuniea- ton" (Mr, Drury's description) was watered down 'until, as Mies Macphail sadly confessea, It "meanty nothine." CHARACTEL AS AN ASSET (Ottawa Journal) After the recent floods in Ver- mont, which caused much com- mercial disaster as well as con- siderable loss of life and great dis- tress, a number of Massachusetts bankers agreed to lend money to husiness men, farmers and others without security, except as to character, This is helping a lot of good men. It recalls what John Pierpont Morgan used to say, that charue- ter -was the first collateral he wanted, He loaned millions on that, and is said never to have lost any of it, Moral for the boy entering busi- ness life--be straight--straight with money, straight in decency and thoughtfulness and kindness with family and friends, straight in doing an honest day's work. straight in every duty a man should recognize. JUST RIDING ALONG (Stratford Beacon-Herald) Motorcycle officers who work around Toronto have been told that they must not use speed traps, nor must they hide up around corners waiting for some driver who appears to be breaking the law. They must work out in the open and keep on their machines as much as possible. All of which will be fairly good news for drivers who want to go ahead and break the speed limits. Practically every car on the road to- day is equipped with a mirror, so he can see the traffic officer com- ing behind. It may be that the offi- cer out on the road has a good ef- fect on the gas foot on the car drivers, and traffic is likely to pro- ceed along very nicely on that par- ticular stretch of road where the of- ficer happens to be. If the depart- ment 1s satisfied with that, instead of looking all the time for court cases and the revenue from result ing fines, the traffic officer is going to have a much more pleasant oc- cupation, ANCHOR FAILS TO HOLD (From the London Free Press) Farquhar Oliver, M. L. A. for South Grey, declared at Strathroy recently that the U.F.O. could not die out, as had the Grange and Patrons of Industry, because the co- operative i organization would keep it alive. This view-point is not borne out by that of certain speakers at the U. F. O. annual meetings in Toronto. Membership of U. F. O. clubs in the province has dropped to little better than one- quarter of its former total, and one of the chief reasons ascribed was this very fact of the co-operatives success. The point seems to be that farmers take a lively interest in the and eggs, and are rallying port of the new wheat pool, bu more attention hey give to cal co-operative organi s they are likely to attend the U 0. clubs, formed for social and litical purposes. Many of these it was pointed out at Toromto, wer. p ted at the l meet ing. The co-operative, of course, include many bers who are mot interested in U. F. O. political acti- vities, and probably many who dis- approve them. The U. F. O. Co-op- erative Company, Limited, has had a most successful year, as the annual statement shows. The United Farm- Accomplish All Neces- sary Work 34 YEARS A MEMBER . Claims Funds Should Be Diverted to More Use- ful Purposes London, Dec. 31.--Rt. Hon. Philip Snowden, who has resigned from the Independent Labor party, after 34 years' membership, gives his ex- planation as follows: "The Independ. ent Labor party can only continue by making futile excuses because its work is done. The Labor party is competent to do all the work which the Independent Labor party. was created to do. It will be more use- ful to the Socialist cause if the acti- vities now wasted in the Independent Labor party were given to local La- bor parties." Suggests Merger Londen, Dec. 31.--Because he feels that the need for the Independent Labor party--Socialistic wing of the Labor movement--no longer exists, Rt. Hon, Philip Snowden, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, has resigned from the party. Mr. Snow- den, who has been a member of the party for 34 years, said that since the Labor party permitted individual membership and adopted a definite Socialistic basis it adequately ful- filled all the purposes for which the Independent Labor party originally existed, He added that there is also a feel- ing in the country that the Inde- pendent Labor party is unnecessary and He thinks it will be for the ad- vantage of all concerned for the La- bor party and the Independent La- bor party te merge their funds and efforts generally, ers of Ontario, on the other hand, has gone back and, if failure to reach agreement on vital matters has atiything like the effect predicted by prominent spea'sers at. the conven- tion, the prospect for the future is at least no better. R. H. Halbert said the coffin lacked only one nail, Mr. Oliver scems to have sized up wrongly the binding effect of the marketing organization in relation to the U. F. O, itself. Third parties have never lived long in the Cana dian political field, and history seems likely to be repeated, THEY SPECIALIZE ON QUALITY (Detroit News) Switzerland hasn't coal, copper or oil, .nd its iron weposits are not available. It has to go away from home for wool, cotton and foodstuffs, but it conyerts the raw material it buys into so many clever and in- geniously constructed devices that it never has any trouble to find ready markets. Swiss watches, embroideries, silk, carvings, music, boxes, and milk chocolates are known the world over. The Swiss have harncssed the riv ers that tumble from their moun- tains and have cheaper and make more use of it than can be boasted by their neighbors. 'I'hrough all the 'roublous times resulting from the Great War, they kept their currency at par and sometimes at premium. Their standard of living is ahove the average and as good as any, and their school system is world renowned. All of which seems to demonstrate that good sense and a peaceful dis- position are worth more than wide territory and natural resources to a people. SAYS MEN DO NOT SEEK BEAUTY (Lady Kitty Vincent, in London Daily Mail) Since the beginning of time wo- men have frequented beauty establishments and sought eagerly for strange lotions and oint- ments. Even 'n the early days of the great Empire of Crete we read of the various aids to beauty employed by the women of that day. Yet why? Beauty has never yet helped a woman to gain her ends or to enjoy her life one fraction more. I have talked to many men on the subject, and they all agree that a lovely face means nothing to them. It is just that odd, indefin able something which has nothing to do with beauty. In the abstract a man may admire a slim pair of ankles or a wonderful skin. He may even no tice and be impressed by them when he meets them in the street. But further than that they do mot lead him. Most of the beauty attributed to the famous women of history is purely legendary. Mary Queen of Scots was not lovely. Cleopatra was no dark, flashing-eyed siren; she was a slim blue-eyed Jittle thing: One of the most fascinating wo- men I have ever met was stout, had a bad skin and legs like champagne bottles; vet men simply fell down and worshipped her. No one knows what causes 2a woman to attract men, but it is certainly not her looks. It is true that knowing she is lovely may give a woman confi- dence, and the confidence in herself will increase her magnetism. But it cannot give her that strange elu- sive charm which is a gift of the gods. In the majority of cases she might as well put away her creams and her lotions. Either she was blessed by the gods at birth and given the power to charm or she - {was left undowered. in ome of those very small cars. They started off through the streets of London. ° Suddenly the light of day vanished to reappear ow seconds later. "Hallo," said surprised passenger, "was that a tunnel we went under? "No," nonchalantly, "that was a General Omnibus." INDEPET LcNT BODY Declares Labor Party Can) Registered in Accordance with the Copyright Act IS YOUR CHILD TOO THIN? It is disheartening to a mother as she watches the physical pro- gress of her child to find thay de- spite her efforts to have the young- ster eat good food, get outdoors daily, and get sufficient rest, that he still looks pale and "skinny." Of course, there is only one ex- planation for it, and that is that insofar as that particular youngster is concerned his blood is not get- ting the food materials in the right amount and proportion to make it really efficient in building up all the tissues of the body. And ft is just here that so many mothers make a mistake. They think that plenty of milk, potatoes, starchy foods, that good treatment, Now, these foods are all right at times, because they give heat |' and energy and are therefore very useful, but for blood building pur- | |B poses these are not the essential foods. Dr. H. Aron of Berlin has been investizuting anaemia, thin blood, in children and aou'ts, and shows tnat anaemia Is like seursv in that it 18 a lack of ce-tain kinds of anality of foods, rather toan a lach quantity that anaemia, These children, as mentioned above, get too much of the starchy foods, He is in favor, therefore, of giving large amounts of raw fruits, kefic (fermented milk), and raw meat juice, Two or three to- matoes, the julee form three or. anges, one lemon, and frome half a pound upwards of raw meat, three or four raw carrots or their Juice should he eaten daily, This addition to the diet also prevents constipation which of course has a most unfavorable influence in ancemia, You can see that meat juice from beef, and particularly liver, Is now kown to be the best method of enr'ching the blood. In institutions for the cere and eure of tuberculosis patients, meat and meat juices with eggs and fruits are ev tensively used to build un the blood to fi ht the tissue destroving effets of tuberculosis. Parents should therefore select the foo's above mentioned and see that their children get a certain amount o" them daily. It is certainly more sensible than dosing them with fron or other prenarations which cannot hat affect the stomaeh and intes- tines, REFORMATORY CROWDED Guelph, Ont., Dec, 30.--The electricity ' i the A man was having a trial run' replied the demonstration | population at the Ontario Reforma- tory has grown considerably in the past few weeks, and a total of 624 inmates are now confined in the institution.
