1 REPRESENTATIVES IN US. Powers and Stone, lnc, New York and Chicago. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1926 THE GOOD LOSER It i said that Indian never cracks a smile .c things which amuse "palefaces" but when misfortune befalls, he laughs. The In- + dian's way toward the lighter side may not bis « be the better but in refusing to be cast down _ by misfortune he sets a commendable exam- ple. : It may not be necessary to laugh about it.. It may be no laughing matter, but to meet reverses standing up and with face to them is the wiser way, Losing money is the excuse for some to go out and kill them- pelves, Defeat in an undertaking on which - one has set one's heart is not pleasant but " there is something worse than losing money or meeting defeat. To'lose courage to face conditions is worse. Some are spoken of as good losers, That does not mean that they enjoy losing. Nobody does, but in life there are losses and if they come. they test the character's genuineness, The Indian may not be a perfect model in all ways but if he does not stop to mourn pver what he cannot help he practices a philosophy that is correct under the circum- stances, It's useless to cry over spilt milk, is an old maxim, Far better to hustle around and find some other milk and that is what the individual of resource, the good loser and possessor of courage, does. Few if any great undertakings came to fruition without ' 'the promoters meeting with repeated fail ures while on the way to success. Had they stopped to bewall their ll Juck, success never would have been gained. : It takes strength of gharacter, courage, to persist when results are altogether adverse. . What is in a person may not be revealed until misfortune befalls, When reverses come one may judge quickly' whether cour- page or weakness is dominant. The world's admiration and sympathy go out to the good Joser, FROM CALAIS TO CALCUTTA * That picturesque monarch, the king of Afghanistan, now in Europe on a tour of the principal capitals of the continent, is under- stood to have in contemplation the construc- tion of a railway that will link his country with the European systems. At the present time, no line of steel exists in Afghanistan, although this was a live matter of diplo- ~+ + matic exchange a quarter cf a century ago when the attitude and policy of Czarist Rus- sia was watched with acute interest in Eur- ope, and particulary in Great Britain, al- ways keenly conscious of movements that might affect or imperil the security of In- dia. Russian state railways end on the north- ern border of King Amanullah's territory and steel rails laid on the sandy upiands for a distance of five hundred miles, joining the + Russian lines with the Indian system on its southern frontier would close the last gap in direct rail communication between the Enyush Channel and the Bay of Bengal. Amir of Afghanistan were proposed toward the end of the last century, the scheme was looked upon as a vision of an idealist. Af- ghanistan was then a pawn in the central Asian diplomatic game between the British and the Russian empires. To the British, Russia was an aggressor striving to project its imperial line down to the Indian west; to the Russians, Grest i k ; if i IHE OSHAWA LALLY |IMES.W as outside its sphere of influence, the matter of the missing railroad link was not. revived. It comes up in the present instance as a reminder of the bitterness of the strug- .| gle of two great empires for a hold in central Asia and an indication of the changes that have come in the last quarter of a century. This, however, is not the only missing } . link in the railroad projects of last century. Turkey before the great war was interested with steam roads charted for development by foreign capital. Gaps have still to be: filled in the Bagdad road, the once much- discussed German project that the Nation. alist government of Turkey is carrying to completion. Last summer Angora officials visited this continent for the purpose of buy- ing material for the building of lines plan- ned twenty years ago, but now to be laid by and for Turkey herself. Turkey today is not the moribund and effete nation of the last century, incapable of doing anything in the way of development except through con- cessions and grants to western governments and syndicates. Shorn of the alien peoples it misgoverned, and with its own population now homogeneous and professing the same western faith, the Turks are inspired by a new spirit of nationalism and self-determina- tion. In Africa the dream of Cecil Rhodes, em- bracing an unbroken line of steel from Cairo to Capetown under the Union Jack, had been rudely broken by the German intrusion into East Africa and refusal to sanction the leasing to Britain of a strip of land within the Belgian Congo. So the position remained till the close of the war, when the Rhodes proposal was represented in tropical Africa by. a succession of broken stretches. A bridge recently constructed over the Zambesi river has brought into being a new railroad to- wards the east coast that will be a strong feeder of the main line, The road through Uganda has been completed, and Belgium is building a railway through Angola that may . act as a feeder from the west, The Cape- to-Cairo road may not exactly fulfil the Rhodes plan, but, when all the gaps are closed and the feeders built, it will rank as a great continental railway and be a valuable factor in the future development of the con- tinent. ; EDITORIAL NOTES Chief requisite of a modern magazine story is that it be long enough to run over to three or four advertising pages.

During the fifty years there .were many times when only the cour age and persistence of the sponsors of the paper kept it going, for news gathering a half century ago was a laborious task compared with the sys- tems in vogue to-day, A photographic reproduction of the entiré first issue of the Daily News was presented to' the guests of the jubilee banquet and a representative of that first issue was present and de- scribed some of the difficuities en- countered in financing the proposi- tion, Since that day the paper grew and others followed "it, which later were absorbed in. what is now the Kitch- ener Record; one of the best of the small daflies of Ontario, carefully edited and splendidly arranged It covers a field of prosperous towns and rural districts in which reside and sturdy people of the province, The present 'owners of The Record, Hon. W. D. Euler, President, and Mr. W. J. Motz Managing Director, are to be congratulated on the pub- lication of a newspaper that so com- pletely serves the district and meets the necessities of so many readers in furnishing all the important mews of the day. The celebration of the an- niversary was one that will not soon be forgotten by those present. BUSINESS EVOLUTION (From the Brantford Expositor) Edward A. Filene, one of the big merchants of Boston bug more widely known as a writer on busi- ness methods, told the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce recently that the successful commercial leaders of the future would base their decisions on facts rather than on opinions and emotions. In other words, business will borrow from science. "Business has pass- ed through and out of the pioneer stage," he declared. - 'While this had had dreferenmce to the -- more populous centres of America. its application to conditions generally may be taken for granted. "A new kind of leadership is required," was 8 further observation. The Boston mierchant is dlso a profound believer in the continued sweep of the merger movement which- bas been under way during the past 20 yesrs, snd during the past five years in particular. "Re- tailing," he said," "will soon be dominated by chains larger than those we mow have." In this pro- cess of evolution he sees a vast EDNESD.

MENT BY PATIENT'S BEHAVIOR 1 have spoken before about the three types of physique that you will see on the beach, ip a gymna- stun, or in fact anywhere. = 'There is the type with the short body and long legs, that with the long body and short legs, and the third type with body and legs that appear to be about in the proper proportion, : I mentioned the illnesses 'that were most likely to attack each extreme type; the short body, lung and stomach ailments; the long, wide body, heart, bloodvessel, and kidney ailments. However, Dra. G. Draper and R. B. McGraw, of New York, have been studying types from another angle, and have discovered what they call the gall bladder type, and the stomach and intestinal ul- cer type. They distinguish them not so much by the appearance of their bodies, but by the way they behave mentally. They have been able to demon- strate that he gall bladder type, the type wtih the sluggish liver, 1s not usually very excitable, shows little fearfulness, and reacts slow- ly to mental and physical sugges- tions. " The ulcer type, on the other hand, shows a mood that is away up or away down, he is very ex- citable, shows more fearfulness, hut ean adjust himself more quickly to circumstances than ean the gall bladder type. They think and act more quickly also, hut have really less endurance than the gall bladder type. They respond more quickly, however, to food ana rest, and come back more quickly after periods of anxiety or depres- sion. Now, this is very interesting, and for the most part physicians will be inclined to agree with their findinrs in reference to these two conditions. However, ourselves is "Why do these types behave in this manner?" Gall bladder trouble is practical- Iv always due to inactivity of the liver, that permits congestion in the gall bladder, The bile from the gall bladder doesn't do its work of stimulating the intestine to ac- doi breaking up the fats, and ren- the question to ask ering organisms harmless. It is e poisoning of the systenr due to this and also to the liver not sepa- rating poisons from the blood, that makes the gall bladder patients sluggish and depressed. Your ulcer case is often a 'ner- vous case", He {is high strung, emotional, indiscreet and {irregvlar in his dietary habits. This nervous- ness interferes with the impulses that "go down from the braip to mus~les of stomach and intestine which cause them to move regular- ly. This stoppage or stasis is a big factor in the eausation of ulcer of «tomach and intestine. Thus systematic exercise would Help both these types. The gall bladder type by stimulating the liv- er and the .gall bladder, and the uleér type by strengthening sue entire body and developing muscu- lar and mental control.

SOVIET DISCOVERS Many Red Army Officers Ready to Support Former Chief London, Jan. 80. -- The Trotzky supporters in the Red Army are plotting for the downfall of the Stalin regime, according to the Cen- tral News dispatch from Warsaw last night, The existence of the conspiracy among the adherents of Lenin's exiled assoclate was bared when the secret police seized a large number of letters written by officers holding high commands in the Soviet Army. The Soviet Gov- ernment is most concerned with the unearthing of this latest plot, the object of which was to bring about Trotzky's reinstatement to power, The ranking officers in their let- ers expressed the belief that the Communistic policy which Trotz- ky advocates is the most sound and offered him their support in over- throwing the present dictatorship.
