TORONTO OFFICE 407 Bond Building, oa Temperance Street, Tele phono Adelaido. 0107, H. D. 'Tresiddev, repre sentative. REPRESENTATIVES IN U.8. Powers and Stone, Inc, New Tork and Chicago. Ba THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1929 mm THE FIRE HALL SITE The decision of the fire protection and property committees to abandon the idea .of building a new fire hall and police station on a site on Bagot street should not be allowed to interfere with the general plan of providing these much-needed im- provements, The committees having decided that the four churches which objected to the Bagot street site had justice in their plea, the next step should be to discover an alternate site which will be in keeping with the needs of the two depart- ments to be housed in the new building. There can be no gainsaying the need for the new fire hall and police quarters, and it would be unfortunate if the dispute over the site should hold up the work indefinitely, The project should be pushed forward just as energetically as if noth- ing had occurred to interrupt the plans. THE HIT AND RUN MOTORIST The slaying of a thirteen year old Harmony lad bas brought home vividly to the people of this community the menace of the hit-and-run mo- torist, the car driver who, after striking down a victim, puts on all possible speed to get away from the scene of the tragedy, without a thought ag to the possible fate of the innocent person struck down. When a motorist fails to stop at the scene of an accident of this kind, it is no easy task to trace him, particularly when, as was the case in the Harmony accident, it occurs at night, and with no eye-witnesses. But police officials of Ontario have had considerable experience in hunt- ing this particular type of criminal, and nothing should be left undone in the effort to locate the driver who snuffed out the life of this innocent little paper boy, For absolute callousness, it would be hard to find any erime to equal this. The motorist must have known that he struck this lad, and the nature of the accident should have given him some idea that he was seriously injured, Yet there was no effort to stop and. give assistance, no thought of the fate of the poor little fellow, only a burning desire to get as far away from the scene as quickly as possible. Apart altogether from the breaking of the pro- vincial law, there is the law of humanity which was ignored. Whatever chance the boy had of recovery as a result of immediate care was ban- ished when the car sped on its way, carrying in it one who, if not legally, is at least morally a murderer. DEFENDING me Ligvor CONTROL It is almost amusing to hear the defenders of the Liquor Control Act in their frenzied efforts to tell the people of Ontario of the benefits it has conferred on them, In the provincial legislature only this week, a member tried to defend the act ' by claiming that it had brought about a decrease If that assertion could be substantiated in any serious way, then it might be heard wiih satisfac- tion, but it does not meet the situation in the smallest detail. And it is also quite impossible to make comparisons.of crime under the O.T.A. and crime under the Liquor Control Act. The latter measure is, at least, being enforced with a reasonable amount of efficiency, and it is safe to say that if the same energy and efficiency had been shown in enforcing the O.T.A, when it was in force, there would have been no desire for a change. In the face of the police records of the Oshawa courts, and courts of many other cities of the province, it is ridiculous to say that crime has de- creased under the Liquor Control Act. The Osha- wa records show a substantial increase in offences, and very large increases in offences which can be attributed directly to the liguor traffic. No act, no matter how commendable the motives of its sponsors, can be a good act when it multiplies the number of police court convictions. And an act which places liquor so easily in the hands of people who would be far better off without it, can- mot confer any benefits whatsoever upon the pro- vince. This was voiced very plainly by a Liberal member of the legislature when he said: "You capnot manufacture more liguor and drick more liguor without having more drinks." There is logic and sound reasoning, and ove might go further and say that the province can- mot have liguor flowing as freely as it is today : n THE. OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY zi, 1929 without having an increase in nearly all kinds of crime, QUALIFYING FOR ELECTION Toronto is having a second board of control election for this year because one of the men elected on New Year's Day was found, after the election, to be in arrears with his taxes, To people who do a little thinking for themselves, it will seem absurd that such a thing could be pos- sible, although there have been cases of fhe same kind in other communities, Apart from the disorganization of the city's 3 trol, the expense of a new election means a sum of '$30,000 has to be spent because one of the candidates who not sufficiently well versed in his own affairs, nor in the laws governing elections, to make sure that he could qualify. It 1s said that legislation will be passed in the legislature at the present session to make such a situation impossible in future. Yet it would not be hard to avoid it if a little common sense were applied to the subject. It shuld be quite a simple matter for the city clerk who receives nomina- tions to check up the nominees' tax payments be- fore he accepts the declarations of qualification. He would then be in a position to' prevent any man from signing the papers who could not legal- ly do so. That simple expedient would prevent any trouble of the kind which has arisen in To- ronto, It is already done in some municipalities, but apparently it is so simple that a number of clerks have not bothered to have it done, ADVERTISING THE DOMINION H. Napier Moore, the editor of MacLean's Mag- azine, struck a strong note in his recent address to the Canadian Progress Club when he stressed the necessity of advertising Canada in other coun- tries as an essential towards the building up of the dominion, One sentence, in particular, stood out in his address when he sald: J "We cannot expect other countries to realize our progress if we do not learn the facts ourselves and bring them to the atten- tion of the rest of the world." It is true that the other countries of the world know far too little about Canada, even the people of Great Britain having some great misconcep- tions of conditions in this country, The reason, of course, is that Canada has been too prone to take it for granted that these people know all about her, and are well versed on the various phases of Canadian life, This, of course, is a mistake, Canada has, in characteristically British fashion--for the British people are notoriously poor advertisers of their own accomplishments--by no means used the best methods of placing her story before the peoples of the world. Just as it pays a business man to ad- vertise in order to make his business grow, so it pays a nation to advertise, to tell the world about itself, so that there may be definite knowledge of what Canada has done in the past and can do in the future, And the only way to tell the world about anything is to advertise, EDITORIAL NOTES A good steering wheel and a perfect brake are 'much more useful than a loud horn, Tag Coroner had an easy time in the old days.

G'S EXAGGERATION (Ottawa Journal) In a bye election message Mr, Lloyd George predicts the certain defeat of the C vatives in the coming British general election. The predic- tion would carry more weight if "L.G." did not £0 on to say that "The Liberal party alone stands ready and equipped to tackle 'efficiently the vast problems which beset the country." That fs simply one of those electioneering extravagances that sensible people have learned mot to take seriously. BACK TO THE LAND (Sherbrooke Tribune) . Many back to the land enthusiasts recognize that it is now becoming impossible to interest people in farming by just descanting on the beauties of the country side to them. Emphasis will have to be laid in the future on the profits of farming, and some attempt will have to be made to point out to those who do not succeed, wherein their mistakes lie. There can be no doubt that the farmer who has had a good meal, is wearing good clothes, and has all the equip- ment for his work, is in a better position to appreciate the delights of 2 country life than the man from Yeu A year sees himself sliding down into the abyss of debt, - - Bits of Verse - - THE BREAKING OF NATIONS Only 2 man i In a slow silent walk With an old horse that stumbles and nods Half asleep as they stalk.

Counce! of the Churches of Christ in Verse for Thursday "Verily I say unto yau, They (al ready) have their reward" (Mat- they j:16), Read: Matthew 6:16 MEDITATION: The principle of reward is a sound one, I must work for something, not merely to be occupied. What am I working for? Is it money to lay up treasure on earth? Is it some little or grest honor among men? Am I working for the means to gratify myself in pleasure? Or am I just working for a living? Whatever it is, I will work while there is ezpecta- tation; after that thers fis only dreariness. The plight of the hypo- crites was pathetic because tuey bad their reward already. There was nothing coming to them. Now I want to be a creditor with life; I want an eternal hope to sustain me. So I must work for something that cannot be paid off to-day or to-mor- row; something that will satisfy, and yet be forever incomplete.

INAL AILMENTS ® om When we read that in nine years '| practice in the Himalaya Mountains, a British army surgeon, McCarrison, performed major operations, and did not see a case of stomach or intestinal ulcer, appendicitis, or inflammation of large intestine, and compare that with the fact' that 25 per cent of the patients in the hos- pitals in the United States are ad- mitted because of abdominal infec- tions (appendicitis, gall bladder disease, ulcer of stomach and intes- tine, and inflammation of large in- testine) we must pause in astonish ment, Why are these natives free, from these stomach and intestinal ail« ments whilst our "enlightened" folks are so sadly afflicted? There is only one answer, Too many of us are eating the wrong kinds of food. We are eating foods which are deficient in valuable vitamins, As Dr. Searle Harris says "Even casual observations of the eating habits of le in cafe's, hotels, din- ing ar their homes, will re- sugars and : : void of vitamins, make: up a large proportion of the diet of all classes of people, and that fruits and vege- Yyples and milk, which are wich in vitamins, are caten sparingly by the masses." 3 } The prevention of stomach or in- testinal ulcer is really a matter of diet and the vitamins are the im- rtant factors, Vitamin A_stimu- tes nutrition and is found in milk, cream, and butter, and green vege- tables. These ulcer patients are us- nally nervous so that vitamin B should likewise form a part of the daily diet; that is whole wheat bread, vegetables and fruits, Vitamin C seems to protect against infections of the intestinal tract so that strained orange juice, strained tomato juice, or the strained juice of other uncooked vegetables, should be used. I have spoken before of Mc- Collum's suggestion of a daily diet for all of us "a pint to a quart of milk a day, one raw fruif] one raw vegetable, "and two cooked leafy vegetables, In addition we should eat a reasonably amount of meat or eggs, one piece of bread, liberal quantities of butter." These foods, well chewed, with meals six hours apart, should pre- vent ulcer, Remember also that most of these ulcers get their start from infection from bad teeth, tonsile, gall bladder, sinuses, and so forth, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) veal the fact that the starches and meats, which are de- « Bits of Humor - 'TWOULD BF TERRIBLE Mrs.: "Oh, Harry, I'm very wor- ried about the car."
