E. Wood, Kingston sportsman. The dogs were following hunt- ers through the woods. They came upon a six-foot snake. It was shot, The body was cut in two. The hounds ran up to investigate the part including the head, and about 12 inches of the body. They were bitten in rapid succes- sion, Wood said. The head struck ite dogs with machine gun rapid- ty. ' All of the,dogs were dead within 30 minutes. The first bitten was the last to die, the last bitten the first. 'WISCONSIN'S RICHEST GIRL TO WED CLERK Chicago.--~--~The « engagement. - of David P.

Land "After Complaining of Living Conditions Last July some miners from Gel- senkirchen, in the Ruhr district, formed part of a group who entered into contract to go to Russia to work in the mines. The contract called for six-hour shifts with pay at the rate 'of about $70 to $75 per month, and the Germans thought that they were getting rather a good thing. But they grew so dissatisfied that they quit work in August, and after some trouble they are now back in the Rubr and are warning all German miners not to try the experiment which they tried. "Their story is, in part, as follows: "The food was bad. There was no meat and we had rice soup and a dish which cannot be described by any words in our lan- guage. It had fish. and meat sub- stances in it and was mostly left un- caten. Nevertheless the Russians gazed longingly upon our 'good' food. Then we received our equipment, consisting of boots, trousers and coats--but no shirts--chisels, crow- bars, primitive shipper hammers and hatchets. The Russians had no boots, On paper the six-hour day was de- finitely specified, But each miner re- ceived so large a task that seven or eight hours was needed tg finish it. Most of us became ill #firough not getting sufficient food. We had meat once a week and then only a small portion. Some of us decided to re- turn to the homeland at any cost. It was impossible for German miners to continue working there. The inade- quate washing facilities were charac- teristic and there were no shower boths. Generally we returned to our quarters dirty. Washing facilities had been planned but they had not been installed, though the mine was three years old. We sold what cloth- ing we could spare in order to get money and one of us received 210 rubles ($105) for a good suit." They solemnly warn all others that Rus- sian conditions cannot satisfy Ger- man workers. There seems to be no reason to question the accuracy of this report, but it might be interest- ing to get the verdict of those of the miners who still remain in Russia. Pleasant Weather One great advantage that our Can- adian climate has lies in the fact that cach season has its own very decid- ed individuality and character. For instance, autumn isn't just a kind of nondescript time' after summer has gone: it 1s a season in itself, and a marked one at that, with its own very special features and attractions. Sometimes we have Indian summer in the autumn, but no one ever makes the mistake of thinking that*it is just summer come back to use again, for it is something in itself, something markedly different from the summer as we have it ordinarily. It is true that when the first intimation comes to us that summer is over we are likely to be touched just a little with sadness and regret; but if we are sensible it does not take us long to realize that with the passing of sum- mer there has been the coming in of a season that offers its own very real attractions and satisfactions. For instance, the sharp nip in the air of an autumn morning is some- thing to thank heaven for most de- voutly, though, of course, we are often feeling soft and enervated and luxurious, and are not much in the mood for doing it. But if we will put ourselves in the proper mood and attitude there is freshness and exhilaration and tonic in the autumn air that we cannot get from any other source. But like very many of the blessings that are most worth hay- ing, we have to win them by some effort and activity on our part. A brisk walk before breakfast in the fresh air of a Canadian autumn morn- ing will not only set the blood ating- ling and make for health and vigor of body but will often prove to be very good for a man's soul as well, and put him in condition for a day of honest, hopeful toil and courag- eous usefulness. But autumn as we know it in Can- ada has not only its satisfactions and pleasures without: it has them as well within, . As the days grow short- er the nights grow longer, and the coming of the cold suggests the fire. Have we not all felt sorry for the people who lived in a country where fires in the home were not necessary to comfort, 'For there is nothing in all the world that can be thought of that suggests genuine comfort as does a wood fire in the grate of a cool autumn evening. The problem of heating our homes seems at times a quite serious one, but in a way it is not so serious as the problem of how we are going to get back that which used to be such a charming feature 'of our homes in the good old days--=a fire of wood in an open grate. What memories the thought of it brings back to 'us, memories that mingle everything in life that .seems most 'wholesome, and 'full 'of simple charm! Tt was so a thing from so many pohits of view that we must not let it pass away, even in a day when utility has become the great watchword, and sentiment has so many to' decry it, i It is estimated that milk from about 1,333,333 dairy cows is requir- ed to meet the ice cream require- ments of the United States, The cost of Toning, She New York ty government in will reach $60,000,000, joy. ourselves under circumstances that do not allow of much ostenta- tious display so long as we have good health, But life becomes a burden, if health departs from us. Broken health not only robs us of our plea- sures and happiness, but bars the road to prosperity and to the achieve- ment of many of our ambitions, Health P: 8 How necessary it is therefore, to guard this priceless possession, to so regulate our lives that we may cn- joy to the utmost this most valuable gift. Disraeli once said, "Public health is the foundation on which reposes the happiness of the people and the power of a country. The care of public health is the first duty of a statesman." Most of us, unfor- tunately, give little or no thought to the retaining of health. We live too fast, we eat too much. We abuse our bodies in a multitude of ways. Greatest Dissipator A study of modern science demon- strates hat alcohol is the greatest dissipator of health with which mo- dern civilization has to deal. Thirty years ago the alcohol bill in most of the large hospitals far exceeded the cost of milk. Today, the reverse is the case, and the money expended on milk is many times the small amount paid for alcohol. Thirty years ago alcohol was freely pre- scribed by physicians and as a cure- all. During the early influenza epi- demics, whisky was recorhmended as the great panacea. Not Done Today Today, very few successful physi- cians prescribe alcohol as a medi- cine. The consensus of opinion among medical men is summed up in the resolution passed a few years ago by the house of delegates of the American Medical association : "Whereas, we believe that the use of alcohol is detrimental to the hu- man economy, and whereas its use in therapeutics as a tonic, or. stim- ulant, or for food, has no scientific value, therefore, be it resolved, that the American Medical association is opposed to the use of alcohol as a beverage; and be it further resolved, that the use of alcohol as a thera- peutic agent should be further dis- couraged." In twelve states of the United States, the prescribing of any kind of intoxicating liquor as a medicine is prohibited by law. Lowers Resistance We know that alcohol always low- ers resistance to disease and in- creases the period of convalescence. In one of our hospitals two young men were admitted about the same time with fractured legs. One was an abstainer. In two weeks he was able to leave the hospital with his leg in a cast. The other was what we generally term a moderate drink- er, a user of wine daily. He was confined to the hospital for nine weeks before being able to return to his home, Bleed the Patient Dr, Howard A. Kelly puts the mat- ter in a very striking way. He says, "That past generation that so freely prescribed whisky had another prac- tice--that of bleeding the patient-- which has now been abandoned. The reverse operation--blood transfusion ~has taken its place. That genera- tion puts 'whisky into the patient, and took blood out of him. Modern practice, reversing the process, takes the whisky out of him and puts blood into him.' Injures the Blood Let us recognize then that alcohol fn any quantity is injurious to our a -------------------------------- bodies, affecting adversely every vi- "Who Drinks Holland's Alone and In a Churchyard." tal organ. Expert medical opinion could be quoted, if space permitted, showing that alcohol inflames the delicate lining of the stomach, mak- ing it unfit to digest food properly; that it affects the heart, increasing the heart beat and through long continued use causing fatty degen- eration. Sir Victor Horsley says that "Diseases of the liver occur fre- quently as the result of the habit ual use of small doses of alcohol." Creates Havoc Venereal disease, which creates such havoc and blights the lives of so many people, is a close friend of alcohol, and is usually contracted while the passions are inflamed and the higher faculties dulled by alco- hol. There 1s only a slight difference in the estimates of the best author- ities the world over as to the rela- tion between alcohol and venereal discase. Dr. Douglas White, of England, says cighty per cent and Dr. Haven Emerson, the best au- thority in America, says seventy-five per cent, is the proportion of the victims acquiring this disease under the. influence of alcohol. Myriads of men and women have been denied the full enjoyment of their mental and physical faculties through the poisoning effect of alcohol. Improved Health N To bring about a condition of total abstinence among our people would reduce venereal disease and immor- ality to a very small fraction of what is = experienced today, and 'would bring about a great improvement in the general health of the community. So let us give heed to the state- ment of the late Sir William Osler the noted professor of medicine in Oxford university: "Throw all the beer into the Irish channel, the Eng- lish chafinel, and the North Sea for a year and the people of England would be infinitely better, It would certainly solve all the problems with which the philanthropists, the physici- ans and the politicians have to deal." Millions of abstainers echo these sentiments. In A Cemetery In a cemetery of a town not far distant from Hamilton, the superin- tendent recently gathered up with- in the cemetery 41 liquor bottles as shown in our illustration. ctery scems a queer place to go to drink, and. jci no other place is quite so suited for the bibulous citi- zen, Upton Sinclair, in his book, "Money Writes," makes this impor- tant prorouncement, "All my life | have lived in the presence of fine and beautiful - men going to their death because of alcohol. I call it the greatest trap that life has set for the feet of genius." A Problem Which Must Be Faced and Solved One of 'our contemporaries in its last week's issue carries "A Prayer for the Unemployed." And a very excellent prayer it is, It asks that the familes that are destitute and dis- couraged through want of work be kept from despair and be encouraged Hivough fellowship with Him who had His own days of poverty on the earth, It asks that the hearts of men and women might be touched to feel the burden of the distresses of these unfortunate ones, and that their minds and imaginations might be worked upon that they might be able to discover ways of real relief and helpfulness. . Avery excellent prayer, we doubt not--so. far as it goes. But we won- der if it goes far enough, and if there is not another petition at least that should be added to these? Does it not begin to appear that the problem of unemployment, so wide-spread over the world, and so difficult and distressing, must have its root in certain very fundamental conditions that call for serious and radical changes, not only in industry, but, perchance, in our whole social order? It may, indeed, help some in the present distress to have our hearts touched with sympathy for the unfortunate unemployed, and our minds and imaginations worked upon that we may see and understand and help, but will we get very far in solv- ing 'such a tremendous problem as this short of something more down- right and tragic in conviction and Jecling than this prayer seems to ask or Might it not be well to add some such petition as this to the prayer described above--"0 Lord, help us to be honest enough, and courageous enough, if we discover that the effort to make this a kindlier and friend- lier world to a multitude of troubled and distressed people demands that we give up some of the privileges in it that are ours an¥ accept certain philosophies that are quite obnox- : \ ious to us to do it out and out and with no reserve?" Of course, in all its implications, that is a tremendous prayer to make, but it is difficult to see how we an pray about the matter at all in any really sincere way unless we are will ing to add some such thought to our supplications. One thing is very certain: the healing of this great and tragic sore spot in the life of our time will not be done, by mere pious wishing or, the propounding of fine sentiment. It goes down very deep into the or- ganized life of the modern world and only heroic treatment and alto- gether stern measures will have any result at all. If we are going to pray about it at all we must do so with the full realization that real praying makes tremendous demands on one sometimes. AIR TRAFFIC GROWS The regular air lines of the world carried 600,000 passengers and 14,000 tons of mail in 1929, In the same ear 48,000 people (flew across the inglish channel. These figures are from the research committee of the League of Nations, And there is no doubt that they will be multiplied by hundreds and even thousands in a few short years. Men have only just begun to fly and many strange things are likely to happen when they real- ly get the habit, .
