Powers and Stone, Inc,, New York and Chicago, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1928 TE A GOOD RULE 'The Chamber of Commerce in Washing- ton, D.C., has embarked upon a campaign to influence greater home buying. Through the schools, the banks, advertising and every other available agency it intends to popular- ize the slogan "Buy in Washington." It is a creditable movement, and charges that it is provincial and selfish will not stand, - Buying at home takes nothing from national business but it aids in many ways the home town and its commercial enter- prises. Buy away from home and you bene- fit only the out-of-town merchant and his town, Every community should be as self-suffi- cient as possible. By making their pur- chases through Oshawa stores the people of this community can keep their money at home, where it will be used over and over for the benefit of the people and the com- munity itself. Instinctively, every one is a bargainer, 4nd he buys shrewdly and carefully, taking into consideration every element of advan- tage and disadvantage in the transaction. He makes his purchases where he believes he can obtain the greatest value. Price is not always the paramount consideration, al- though in most cases it has the greatest bearing on the choice of a place in which to 'buy. The average shopper, however, is also interested in style, and in having a consid- erable variety of goods from which to make his" selection. Oshawa merchants and business men are competent - and progressive, and Oshawa shops are of the best. There is no valid rea- son for shopping elsewhere. It is well for citizens to make it a hard and fast rule to patronize home institutions, which help to make the community what they would have it be. PROTECTION OF YOUNG GIRLS The following from the Jersey City Journ- al, reveals a state of disgusting immorality that may be more prevalent than has been suspected elsewhere: "The Morris County Grand Jury was noti- fied in its plea that the press of America take some note of the conditions revealed in the investigation that led to the handing up of two hundred and twenty-three indict- ments against nine men accused by the par- ents of girls ranging in age from eight to fourteen years. "The Grand Jury says: **The testimony of witnesses in these cases has indicated to us that inasmuch as revolting social conditions have been permit- ied to exist in certain localities, motwith- standing rumors so persistent as to become common falk, and continuing over a period of time, it is reasonable to infer that simi- lar conditions may be more general than it was heretofore believed. "The Morris Grand Jury is right It is astounding to learn that in the heart of a decent community there should have been a pesthole into which innocent girls were enticed to be abused in the most shocking manner. The great number of charges made indicates as vividly as anything could the extent and viciousness of this Dover social evil. » #fover's sad experience proves that nc de- eration to remove the evil conditions which havi grown up in its midst--and even then a full ease vannot be effected because it is {vc late to save the girls. "Such indecency as was revealed is 2 con- 'tagious kind of crime and grows quickly to unbelievable proportions unless it is nipped in the bud. Dover has learned that guar- dians of the public are derelict in their duty whenever they permit to go uninvestigated rumors of evil such as circulated about the candy store in Dover that was the centre' of the rottenness. "Dover's sad experience proves that no de- sire to give the modern girl the freedom that -she wants excuses neglect which lays traps and pitfalls in her path. The suggestion is "made by the Morris County Grand Jury that curfew law enforcement should be resorted to. A better answer would be twenty-year terms in jail for the men who are guilty of the viciousness. Put the blame and punish- ment where it belongs." The protection of young girls is a serious and difficult problem' everywhere. CHILDREN'S RIGHTS The rights of children. How strangely those words would have sounded a century ago. In that day a par- ent, under the law, had a right to the child and to the services and earnings of the child, but little was said about the rights of the child and less still was said about the en-, forcement of such rights as might have ex- isted in the unwritten code of the times. Among the most encouraging signs of the present era are society's increasing interest in the child, the protection thrown about the child and the definition of the rights of chil- dren, The change in public attitude toward the child followed the shift from hand manu- facture to machine manufacture. The day is past when children could be worked from ° twelve to fourteen hours a. day under de- plorable conditions at poor wages. That day is past because civilized man has learned to subsist without the help of little hands. Certain rights of the child are today re- cognized as inalienable. The extra legal rights are the right to be well born, the right to a healthful environ- ment and the right to a home. Then there are the legal rights to an education, to play and to be protected from exploitation. Most children find the proper environment in their own homes, but some must look for it in schools, at playgrounds and in the Sun- day schools and such organizations as the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides. And society, through governmental and other agencies, is making up for home deficiencies where they exist. EDITORIAL NOTES A very curious feature of the ordinary amnesia case is that the victim is invariably identified by the creditors. The uncomfortable feature of being one of these "What-are-you-going-to-do-about-it ?" persons is that eventually somebody does. Bit of Verse THE WITCHERY OF RAIN All day the frolic rain had played Amid the branches green; Each leaf its silver fingers made A twinkling tambourine. And listening to the elfin tune Rain-tinkled in the boughs. My raptured senses seemed to swoon, Straightway I fell a-drowse. O where was I? I knew not where! I dreamed a blithe romance Of Italy or Spain, or fair And sunny-storied France; "Twas distant, all that sought mine ear, In feudal days afar; Yet, could it be?--it seemed so near-- Was that a gay guitar? Whose fingers spanned its strings and frets? I did not know or care; It was a girl with castanets That won my glances there, But soon a white plume waved betweer And flashing lances bright ; Then swiftly changed again the scene, And 'twas a moonlit night. : ,And I--a troubadour was I Somewhere in old Provence: I wished that Time might never fly, *Twould always be the nonce; No lady fair could kinder be Than she who heard my strain-- Then from my dream I wakened me, For it had ceased, the rain. And oh! the East Wind blew so chill I would I'd stayed awake, For. I began to sneeze, and still All down to. my back I ache; And now 'tis nearly done, my lay, Its burden, pray you, note-- Don't drowse upon a rainy day, Or else--keep on your coat! --Samuel Minturn Peck, in Boston Transit -} London." That Body of Bours By James W. Barton, M.D. THE OLDEST AILMENT, If you were asked what was the oldest ailment known, you might have to think for a time, and then simply make a guess, What you have always known as rheumatism, now Shay arthritis, is the oldest ailment of which we. have historical record; joint disorders af- fected men in the stone age and even the animals previous to that, says Dr, D, L. Tabern, It is pretty definitely believed now that the majority of cases of arthritis are due to an infection of some kind, . In Great Britain, where rheumatism is so prevalent and causes so much distress and loss of time from em- ployment, most intensive study of the cause of rheumatism is being made, , It is agreed that about 80 per cent is due to infected teeth and tonsils, 15 4) cent to the intestine including gal bladder, and the other 5 per cent rom other points in the body, However after the infected testh and tonsils are removed there are often further attacks of rheumatism, much to the distress of patient ard physician; his simply means that although the factory that is manufacturing the poison has been destroyed, the pro- duct of the factory, the poisons, are still in the body, and set up trouble in the joints and in the heart itself, The natural treatment therefore would be, after the infectious part has been removed, to use any and every means to hurry the circulation and so remove these poisons. from the system, Aczordingly heat in various forms, electricity, and drugs which increase the circulation (especially of the lymphatic system from which the joints receive their nourishment and give up their wastes) are being used. Another point, and it is most im- portant, is that. once the infected teeth, tonsils, or gall bladder have been removed, that in addition to the heat or drugs used, every effort should be used to move the affected parts and thus prgvent stiffness; that is in cases where the X ray shows that it would be safe to do so, The idea then is that although rheumatism is the oldest ailment known, it is only in the last thirty years that we have learned some- thing of its cause and how to treat it intelligently.

OLD CHURCH INCLUDED IN SOURCES FROM WHICH DICKENS WROTE London,' Dec. 15. -- To the many queer sources from which Charles Dickens drew inspiration for his no- vels must be added the registers of the Edgbaston parish church. In Vol. 1 of the registers published by the Dugdale Society appears among a bundle of transcripts the following receipt: "Transcripts of the Edgbas- ton Registers taken to London by Sinckler Chinn, 17 April, 1836." Over the signature of Chinn is an amplified statement, "The above reg- isters taken from the Dean and Chapter's Registry of Lichfield by me to be produced at the hearing of the cause in Hood v. Beauchamp and Bagot before the Vice-Chancellor in This, it is stated, is one of the series of suits on which Dick- ens is said to have based the case of "Jarndyce v. Jarndyce" in Bleak House. English Actress Is Now London Idol London, Dec. 15. -- Gracie Fields, idol of the music halls in the "pro- vinces" for some time, recently was induced to come to London and has won a triumph here. Her first ap- pearance here was at the Gaiety where she immediately scored. "This clever girl," says the Daily News, "was _born in Rochdale, where she served in a shop. She began her stage career in an obscure 'sisters' act and when she was 15 joined a revue company. There she met her husband--the principal comedian, Archie Pitt. He wrote a revue, 'Mr. Tower of London,' which with him- self and three Fields sisters in it, ran for over mine years from 1918. Tremendous Values Are Represented in Stamp Exhibition London, Dee. 15. -- The Stamp Exhibition formally opened by the Lord Mayor the other day tells the story of British and Irish postage stamps from their introduction. It is the first large exhibition of British postage stamps ever held within the City of London of a public and com- petitive nature and although it has been tried as an experiment the value of the stamps on view is said to exceed $2,500,000. The point on which all philate- lists are agreed is A British stamps surpass those tries in that the gum used is of the highest quality and, as Waterlow remarked, no been known to die of the licking British postage stam; AX INSPIRING INVITATION Ho, every ome that thirsteth, come ve to the waters, and he that hath uo money; come ye, and buy, and cat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price-- Isa. §5:1. PRAYER--Lord, grant us Thy Spirit that we receiving freely, may sive freely. What Others Say THE DOMINANT CRY (Listowel Banner) Human nature .is the same at all ages, A baby's first yell means "Gimme." SAD THOUGHTS (Renfrew Mercury) 'Some women," says a doctor, "simply cannot reduce their weight, Women have always been poor losers' TWO-THREE--FOUR (Kitchener Record) Leniency was recommended in the case of a Buffalo woman con- victed of having killed her hus- band as she was a "first offend- er," One wonders offhand just how many husbands a woman is privileged to kill before she pays the maximum penalty, IMPETUS TO TRADE (Milverton Sun) The people of Ontario spend more than a million dollars per week for liquor through legitimate channels alone. What an impetus could be given to, trade were ths vast amount spent on shoes, ¢loth- ing, groceries and the other com- forts of life, NOT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE (Ottawa Journal) Suggestions come from Parlla- ment Hill to the effect that Mr, Hoover may not increase duties on Canada's farm products. Perhaps not, But if he doesn't it will be simply because he feels that such action would not be to his own people's advantage. That is the principle upon which Washington works; and it is a mighty good one. MINER-HARVESTERS (Willisons Mghthly) The attempt of extremsits to mis- represent Canada because of al- leged mistreatment of miner-har- vesters in the interesting experi- ment of the early fall have*borne little, if any, of the fruit, The few malcontents who returned tov Great Britain disgruntled were given little time to spread thelr anti-emigration poison before of- ficial opinion corrected their extrav- agant views. nr THE GIFT AND THE GIVER (Toledo Blade) Wealth does not always spoil a family. The Rockefellers are a a living denial of any such cynical assumption. Beyond bringing him the modest comforts of life, John D. Rockefeller's money is of little use to him now. So, by his own hands and through the hands of his son, he pours out his bounty where it will reach the most peo- ple, in the best way, for periods that are indefinite. As his days approach a close, the elder Rocke- feller must often consider the un- importance of wealth as a person- al possession, compared with the pricelesss consciousness of a son who has inherited a reverence for the spiritual beauties of life. 4 BLACK CAT OMEN (London Evening Standard) Most fashionable weddings are like other fashionable weddings, so that they do mot stick in the memory, but the expected arrival of the Comte and Comtesse de Cramayel in London recalls a wed- ding ceremony which London ean never forget. They were married at St James's, Spanish-place, in 1924, and throughout the service a black cat stood in the church en- trance, purring a benediction. The Comtesse was Miss Mary Latta, daughter of Sir John Latta, the shipping magnate, and Lady Latta, and the present visit to England from the Continent will be spent with the Comtesse's parents at Portman-square. SMALLEST CLUB (London Star) At the Three Arts Club, I heard Lieutenant-Colonel Mackenzie Ro- gan--whose name used to be in- separable from the music of the Guards' bands--telling about "the smallest club in the world." There are four members only. They are: Colonel Rogan himself, aged 73; Sir Alexander Mackenzie, formerly principal of the Royal Academy of Music, aged 81; Her- man Finck, the composer, conduc- tor of light orchestras, aged 56; and Sir Edward Germam, aged 66, who listened last night to a pro- gram of his own music. The club meets once a month and dines. Col. Mackenzie Rogan told =a good story about a party of Lan- cashire folk wisiting a Northern art gallery. They halted before a fine full-length picture of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. "What's that, mother?" inquir- ed one of the gentlemen of the party. "I'll lookin t'book," said she, consulting the catalogue. "Why," she burst out 2a moment later, "it's Queen Elizabeth receiv- ing the Spanish Ambassador!" CANADIANS TURN TO FLORIDA FOR A CAREFREE WINTER sacw SEASON Semi-tropical Florida fis again drawing large numbers of Cana- dians for the winter season. It is becoming more popular every year --principally because it is so mear its climate is so inviting, and it offers such an array of interesting sports and pastimes peculiar to that part of the country. Where else but Florida can one enjoy better such an no- velty of Tarpon fishing--or agua- planing-- or speed-boating -- or polo. Where else can one motor for miles through avenues shaded by graceful palms -- by great citrus groves of ripening oranges and le- mons--or along the shore of the Atlantic. There's golf tpo--all win- ter long. A Arrange now to spend your win- ter months in Florida. Any Cana- dian National Railways Agents will gladly supply you with information about rates, routes and its resorts. HELP IS NEEDED BY GERMAN FARMERS Growing Indebtedness of Agriculture is Causing Anxiety Berlin, Dec. 15.--American far- mers' troubles are reflected here, where the growing indebtedness of agriculture, especially as ree gards big estates, is causing anx- fety in official and economic quar- ters. Repeated governmental aid, in|' the form of granting farmers cheap credits, has checked the de- pression only temporarily, and ac- tion on a big scale is regarded as essential, The eastern provinces are suf- fering most acutely, According to recent figures in eastern Prussia alone, 4564 estates, of more than 200 acres each, are indebted to more than 60 per cent, of their estimated values, * Similar conditions are reported in the provinces of Pommerania, Mechlenburg ang Silesia, and in portions of Brandenburg, It is estimated tha. a total of 2,000 big estates in the eastern provinces are indebted to 50 per cent, of their value, Agrarian leaders blamed the Dawes repargtions plan' for the development of the depression, and say that though the plan does not burden agriculture directly it affects farmers strongly because the reparations payments cauge a scarcity of capital, Tonis in turn, it is said, leads to high interest rates; and the agricul ursts a. + feeling the hardship more than men in other industries because of the slow turnover of their capital, An additional handicap in the eastern provinces is their remote- ness from markets, Court's Verdict Is Retracted When Couple Amend Ways London, Dec. 15. -- A pretty Syr- | ian girl who had married a British soldier in the East and who a few days ago was separated from him at Willesden Court, returned to the court with her husband and they promised to make a fresh start. All smiles, she explained, "Separation he all right at first, no good after- wards." The husband, also smiling, promised to amend his ways. "She's a good wife, and her only fault is that she nags," he said. "You prom- ise to be a good boy and no staying out late at night without explanation, and I know she will promise not to nag," the magistrate remarked. A.L. HUDSON & Co.
