Cultured, educated women, taught by tutors whoxn they shared with their brothers, existed ln China prior to the 12tb century and be- fore the western world had attain- ed any high degree of civilization. Dr. T. Catherine Woo, principal of the St. Paul's Girls College Sc'hool Oxford, declared when interviewed an board S.S. Empress of Asia re- rently. She broadcast a message to women o! aIl countries, statlng that Chinese women are no less 1,ntellectual than their European sisters, if given a chance to learn.

Three more articles of similar nature were also enclosed which will be published in future issues. "Jonah" who signs these articles was a very familiar and prominent citizen who used ta delight in writlng such paragrapits about public afiairs and leading citi- zens of his day which caused con- siderable amusement as well as con- sternation amang those acquainted with the circuinstances. The woes pronounced by Janait against the town and public of Baw- manville follow: 1. 0 Bowmanville, thou are ex- cellent among the towns of the land; thy name is exalted; 2. Thy lines are fallen in pleas- ant places; thou hast a goadly heri- tage; thou art set upon a hi!!; 3. Thy fame has gane out ta the ends of the earth: 4. Thou are ambawered in graves of trees and hast living springs and streams of water; 5. But thou hast farsaken the aId ways and hast became praoud and lofty and haughty. 6. Thou hast remaved the ancient landmarks and built stately palaces and temples and parka. 7. Instead of the volce of the ev-i ening psalm and the morning sang. thou hast fllled thy hausas and thy streets with the blare of instruments of music; 8. mhou hast departed from the simplicity of thy fathers and lauded thyself. 9. Verily thy pride shaît be hum- bled; thou shaît be brought down ta the dust. 10. Woe unta ye eiders af the people, for ye pravoke ane another ta, wrath; the good of the people is not before your eyes. il. Ye contend wth one another and your babblings are not ta edi- fication. 12. Ye conspire one agalnst an- other ta, the hurt of the people;* 13. Ye despltefuilly use and deal subtily with your chief ruler; 14. Ye turn a deaf ear ta, the peti- tions of the people and regard flot the cry of the poor and the needy. 15. Now therefare unless ye re- pent and walk in the ways of your f athers of the trnes af aid, your 10f ty looks shall be braught low and your hautiness shahl be humbled. came.upnu; adeepiulasornwshal ca6e.

But if ye f orsake your evil ways and do that which la good in the sight of the peaple, peradventure the people may forgive your iniqul- ties and remeniber flot your great wickeclness ta punisit yau. 19. Woe unta yau, ye magistrates, for ye wrest the law to the lnjury of the poor and lowly: ye regard the rlch and the noble. 20. Ye err in judgment and stum- ble in vision; ye confaund knowledge and the way of understanding ye1 have not known; ye are respector of' persons and f ram the patits of Justice ye have turned aside. 21. Woe unto you ye priests and preachers, ye toil not neither do ye spin; yet where the fatted calf, the raast goose and the barlded turkey is, there are ye gathered together. 22. Ye say, Blessed are poor, yet ye hanker after larger stipends. 23. Ye say, Render unto Caesar the things that be Caesar's, yet ye pay no taxes in the treasury, and the paor and need of your congregation psy for the teaching of your child- ren. 24. Ye preacit meekness and charity, yet ye speak evil of dignities; ye rebuke and revile the rulers of the people; 25. Ye are meddlesame. busy- bodies and stirrers Up a! strif e among the people. 26. Woe ta the sheep when the shepherd goeth astray; 27. Woe unto ye Salvationists, for ye are vain and puffed up. Ye are boastful and self-rigitteous; 28. Ye have zeal which is not ac- cording ta, knowledge; ye are very irrevent and use vain and meaning- less repetitions; 29. Ye are prouder of your red shirts and stripes and shields and scoop-bonnets than the sinner of rlbbons and rings; 30. Ye laud your goodness and vaunt your purity. 31. One night ye are sanctified. and the next night ye are standing in the way of sinners. 32. Verily there is but a step be- tween the platf orm. and the seat of the scornful. 33. Nevertheless, ye have done some good and a remnant of ye shah! be saved. 34. Woe unto ye publicans, for ye contemn the law unta yaurselves. 35. Ye do that which la evil i the slght of the people; 36. Ye despise all autharlty and will llsten ta no reproof; 37. Ye rise early and stay up late ta mingle strong drink; 38. Ye mlix water wlth yaur wlne and yaur glasses of beer are haif f rotit; 39. Ye are haughty and proud, and ye deck yourselves wlth Jewelry and fine ratinent. 40. Ye are scornful and deflant, ye have made a covenant wlth death and helI; 41. Ye have been often reproved, yet ye harden your hearts; 42. Take heed lest ye be suddenly cut off and that without remedy. 43. Ye shall ha brought befara the Judgment seat, ye shah! be scourged, ye shaîl tribute ta the traasury, ye shail be placed In the stocks and the prison doar shaîl be locked upan you; 44. mhen shaîl ya hawl and maurn and know that indeed the sinner shaîl nat escape and the way of the transgressor is hard. 45. mhe woes spoken of the law- yers, dactars, merchants and athers, shahl they flot be wrltten by the Prophet .Ionah.

IN BOWMANVILLE STANDARD QUALJTY Seils for 9c per 24 ounce Loaf Biiwmanville Bakers Have Decided to Maintain the Quality of Their Bread Bread wars, like other wars, are unnatural. They are not started because of altruistic motives. Wars -are inspired by a. desire to seize the possessions of other&--territorial, trade or. offierwise- BREAD IS TUE S«'TAFF 0-U LIFE lt is well to remember, however ,that ail bread is ne alike' in quality. It can be made to meet a cut rate price. Severail Toronto bakers participating in the bread war there admit the making of a Standard Loaf at 10 cents per loaf, though making a cheaper loaf to sell at a lower price. This must involve omit- ting essentials necessary to palatable and wholesome bread. ALL MAY BE FAIR IN WAR AND LOVE-But below standard bread may play bob with the lines of alimentation. BOWMANVILLE BAKERS EMPLOY ABOUT THIRTY WORKERS in tbe making and distributing of bread. If the cheaper Toronto bread is imported and these workers are made to join the ranks of the unemployed, where is the gain ? The situation becomes more confused. It is worth remembering that your bread requires special care in the making. The best grades of flour must be used. Other ingredients must be equally good - milk, sugar, malt, shortening - wheat alone does flot make bread, but wheat is the only item that bas fallen in price. Toronto is stili paying 10 cents per loaf for unwrappýed standard quality bread. Montreal is paying 12 cents because it can't be made cheaper.
