The young love war books still, and thus the upshot of the present tendency is gravely perilous. Such books, per- haps, were meant to wean men from war. They finish by deflllng children's minds."

The effect of such literature is as noticeable in Canada as in the Old Country. For this reason alone the

Notes Bilze Way‘

Reading the address of Rev. Mr. J-Iarding on the failure to enforce prohibition, even in the Jail in Sum- merside, where the prohibition offi- cers have their quarters, must con- vince any one-with an open mind of the futility c! making people total abstalners by‘ act of the legislature. 1t cannot be dbne. Why not then face the fact and seek other means oi minimizing the drink evil, and shattering the whole system oi hypo- crisy and pretense which has dcvel- oped round our Prohibition legislat- ion? Today there is absolutely noth- ing to prevent a man being a boot- legger and Prohibitionist at one and the same time. People have come to look upon it merely as "slick" busi- ness to evade the law, to pose as apostles of temperance and make money oil’ the degrading traffic of making alcoholic victims of boys and girls. .

Everyone, except the most pre- judiced prohlbltionist, will agree that education and training arc neces- sary to warn the rising generation against the danger of strong drink. The greatest and most effective act of prohibition ls to guard ones own mouth. In the old temperance pledge the signatory. undertook not to taste, touch, nor handle intoxicating liquor until he or she had attained the age of twenty-one. It was usually found if the pledge was kept till then- the youth became a llfo long abstainer. Under present conditions boys and girls are thrown on the world at ten- der age, attending dances, bridges, and social gatherings with practically no previous intensive training in self-control or in the advantages oi abstinence. What happens all who come in contact witlicur young peo- ple and have their eyes open know t_o their sorrow.

According to Rev. Mr. Harding there is widespread ignorance oi the

request of the Canadian Legion for

.an authoritative history of Canada's

part in the war deserves prompt recognition and support.

Cost of Living

A pamphlet entitled “Prices in Canada. and Other Countries," issued by the Department of Labor at_Ot- tawa, proves statistically that while wholesale prices were lower in Cana- da, the United States, Great Britain and nearly all European countries in 1929 than in 192B, retail prices and

' cost of living were slightly higher in

most countries. In Canada, for ex- ample, wholesale prices were lower in 1929 than in any year since 1910 but they reached the low point dur-

efficacy and advantages of the Government Control System. The following from "The Handbook of In- formation" concerning the Intoxicat- ingLiquor Act as administered by the New Brunswick Liquor Control Board should therefore be of inter- est and value;

Quantity Procurable

In the regular stores established by the Board spirituous liquors may be purchased one bottle at a sale; winc and beer in quantities to suit thc| purchaser. All goods bear the Seal of the ‘Board. spirituous liquors are wrapped in a special paper bearing the private mark of the Board. Li- quor can only be purchased legally at the Government Stores under the administration of the Board. Drug- gists are not permitted to sell liquor.

Where Liquor May Be Consumed

Liquor may be consumed legally only in the residence of the purchas- er. The Act defines Residence as

ing the Summer and the year closed

with the level higher than at the bc- I ginning. Taking 10:) as the basis of, the cost of living in 1913, this rose to

loo during the last quarter of iszofl which was higher than in any year‘ since 1921. 1n Great Britain the

trend of prices was distinctly down-

ward and at the end of November,

i929 was lower than at any time since

1915. But in contrast the cost of liv-

ing index number was practically the

same on Dec. 1, 1929, as at the same

date in 192B. In the United States, while the trend of wholesale prices

has been downward since 1927. the cost oi living was practically the

same in June, 1920. as in June 1928.

On’ the other hand. in New zealand wholesale prices were slightly higher

for one month but on the whole were

comparatively stable and the cost of

living declined slightly.

Editorial Notes

A slight earth tremor was record- ed in Ottawa the other day. An ex- change suggests that perhaps it was a preliminary to the heavy vibration experienced when the big guns of Parliament Hill lay down a barrage. On the other hand, it may be the prelude to the heavier bombardment which the Government may expect when the election date is nnounccd.

0F WEIGHT JND

REDUCTIO$ c IE HEAR-T

Foi- years health writers have been advising readers that overweight is a. serious matter. '

Insurance physicians and statistic- ians have likewise been pointing’ out that overweight individuals were not as good insurance risks as those of normal weight, and they were also poor surgical risks.

Just why overweight folk were not as good risks is because of the extra WOTK Put 1111011 the Organs by this sur- plus weight.

Dr. _W. Scharpff reports the result of the X ray study and examination of the heart in fifteen overweight persons before and after a reducing CUTE.

l-ie found that in those who were normal as to heart and uiocd vessels that the heart actually decreased in size after the loss of weight.

In those whose heart muscle was not normal, although the blood pres- sure was normal, there was no de- crease in the size of the heart by loss cf weight, whereas in those with the

heart muscle aflectcd and tne blood a

pressure high, there w“ a dam-ease in the size of the heart with the loss in weight. ‘

Dr. scharfi’ is of the opinion mat "19 devrease in the size of the heart after the reducing of the weight is du"e not so much to the loss of fat in and about the heart, itself, but be- cause the heart muscle flbrcs get back to their normal size. This might be Ikenecl to a piece of elastic that is on a slight stretch all the time in- stead of being in its natural condi- tion with no stretch on it.

This stretching or dilation of the heart in overweight adults is not found in overweight children, in whom the heart seems to remain of normal size despite their weight.

Now what is my thought?

That reducing the weight grad- Hilly ls a good idea for adults, not only because they can get around more readily, can take more exercise, do not overload the system liver, in-

testine, kidneys and so forth with ,

unnecessary food to be. cared for, but

l

because they get the heart back, d‘ -

near to its normal size, and it can dc its work more efficiently. ‘

And after all the’ heart is what you depend on in health, and even more in illness. A strong muscular heart will carry you through where a dil- ated deficient heart might not be

THE VACANT SENATOBSHIP

Sin-You have suggested several names loathe vacant Senatorship- all "deserving democrats," no doubt. I notice none were King's County men. I would remedy this omission. I would mention Mr. Wade Hughes who has won a place of prominence in the party by his untiring efforts and organizing ability. Whether at party conventions or in the heat of an election he has been a tower o1 strength w the cause. Then there is Mr. Bruce Butler a tried and true veteran. He has served his party IOng and well. His wide experience and undoubted ability should prove an acquisition to the Upper House. I would also mention Mr. M. J. Pow- er, Somerville, another party stal- wart. By party service _hc has carn- ed. and by ability is wen fitted to adorn a seat in the Red Chamber. This does not b_y any means ex- hsust the list of eligible gentlemen who deserve mention. Should the occasion arise I would advance the claims of some others. I am Sir, etc.
