"Maybe not killing," said the proud owner, "but it certainly crip pled one of them." RESEARCH NEEDED (Toronto Telegram) The research work that Canada most needs is a research for a tariff that will enable 200,000 Canadians to earn $40 per week in their own coun- try in the manufacture of products for the Canadian market, The pre- sent Canadian tariff enables 200,000 American workers to earn $40 per week of Canadian money in the man- ufacture of products for Canada made in the United States, NO MENTION NECESSARY (Border Cities Star) Describirig a fire in a young ladies boarding school, the reporter says, "The occupants of the building es- caped in scanty attire"--but he neg- lects to mention whether the fire took place at night or in the day- time, ASTIGMATISM (Judge) A young woman stepped into a department store, and asked to look at a "skirt" behind the counter, "My Gawd, madame," gasped the saleslady, "that ain't a skirt; it's a lamp shade." FIFTY YEARS AGO (From the Financial Post) All the way from the laboratory of Thomas A, Edison, at Orange, New Jersey, came a letter to a Winnipeg citizen, The letter, which was from Mr. Edison's office, stated that the fa- mous inventor of the phonograph, the motion picture, the incandescent light, and other devices now familiar to everyone, but unknown before Edison came, had been much amus- ed and interested in reading a news: paper clipping sent him by the Win- nipeger. The newspaper clipping had been taken from the Free Press "Looking Backward" column of November 22. Under the heading, "Fifty Years Ago Today" the following item had been reprinted from the Manitoba Press of Uovember 22, 1877, "A Uew Jersey electrician by the name of Edison is said to have in- vented an instrument by which the cound of the human voice can he impressed on a record and the tones reproduced at any subsequent. period; people, however, regard this extra- ordinary rumor as the veriest bosh." ---- GERMAN TOYS (Brantford Expositor) A Brantford veteran of the Great War, former patient in Christie St. hospital, Toronto, now engaged in Vetcraft work, contributes the fol- lowing terse reminder: Buy a little German toy, Red and Blue and Green; Cleverly constructed, and The nicest ever seen.

TEXAS NATIVE SONG (New York Eveninz World) Miss Maizie Vaughn Parish, yocth ful coloratura soprano, and a native of Texas, sang recently at a Rotary Club dinner at the Waldorf. She has been in New York long enough to lose much of her Southern drawl, but addressing the Rotarians, who comphmented her after her final number, she reverted completely to "Taixian" saying: "Yo'-all have been mah-ty kahnd.

In observing the amenities of in- ternational relations, the govern ment cannot possi part from the accepted standards. Neither can it take into consideration the pre judices or convictions of any section of the ulation, Canada desires to reserve friendly relations with Mex co, inasmuch as trade activities are on, and Canadian commercial and financial institutions are doing business in Mexico, Apart, however, from any material considerations, the Government of Canada could not pre sume to interfere, or judge in any way, in regard to the domestic con cerns of the Mexican Government and its people, more particularly as the controversy is a religious one. No matter what opinions the peo le of Canada may hold on such issues, the Government cannot pos sibly take them into account in de termining its international rela- tions, The wisit of Sir Henry is re garded as an expression of friendli- ness on the part of Canada to Mex: ico, just in the same way as the famous aviator, Colonel Charles Lind bergh, who flew from Washington to the Mexican capital, was described as an ambassador of goodwill from the people of the United States to the cople of Mexico. Simple incidents, ike the visit of Sir Henry Thornton and the flight of Colonel Lindbergh, often exert more influence in the creation of a better understanding, and of goodwill between nations than even the diplomatic acts of gov- ernments, HEARD ON NEW YORK TRIP (Carnegie Tech Puppet) Bride: Won't oos "ittle umpsie dumpsie kiss oos 'ittle ottsie wootsie} Sleepy Peggy Morrison (in next berth)--Won't those damned foreign ers ever shut up?

POWER OF SAVING (Chicago Evening Post) A Michigan man put a dollar in the bank the other day with instruc- tions that it be allowed to draw in- terest for 500 years, The fund in the year 2427 is to be divided among his heirs. It will amount to $2900, 000. By that time the heirs will pro- bably spend most of it in the courts finding out who's who, But it's a fascinating idea, It shows the aston- ishing power of saving, DECIDING FACTOR (London Sunday Pictorial) A novelist observes that when a man proposes to a girl he never knows what the outcome will be, It usually depends on the income, a DRY AMERICA SURVEYED (From the Buffalo Courier-Express) When the Anti-Saloon League re cently announced plans for raising $5,000,000, and later increased it to twice that, to carry on its fight for prohibision in the next five years, a good many observers assumed, as it seemed fair to do, that all was not well with the dry law. That assumption, it appears, was well founded. At any rate, the Mod eration League's third national sur- vey of conditions under prohibition shows: An increase in arrests for drunk enness in 602 places reporting from 650,961 in 1924 to 687,812 in 1925 and to 711,889 in 1926, An increase of 136 per cent in drunkenness in 534 of the 602 places reporting from 1920 to 1926. More arrests for drunkenness in 1926 than in any other year except 1916 since 1914 in 403 places report ing for the 1914-26 period. That conditions in states called "dry" before prohibition "are very much worse today compared with 1914, than are conditions in the so called 'wet' states." MAGISTRATE ALLOWS CONVICTED MAN BAIL When he peladed guilty this morning before Magistrate Hind to a charge of stealing dry goods from General Motors, Fred Barton of Prescott was rmeanded until Dec. 29 for sentence. The accus ed wa salso convicted of havinz liquor in other than a private dwelling. With the consent of Crown At- torpey J. A. McGibbon, Fred Bar ton will be allowed out on $2000 bail, if he can raise the ey. This was allowed by Magistrate Hind that the young man might be at home with his wife and fam- 'ly over the Christmas holiday. Barton was arrested at ome o'- Jock this morning by Constables McGee and Flintoff, near the Gen- eral Motors plant. DOCTOR DOCTOR DOCTOR of. Oakland, Calif., Dee. 24.--The ody of Mrs. Betty Buckles, 25, of Oakland, was found Wednes day on the operating table in tne offices of Irvine A. Cole. The phy sician was gone, as were his di ploma and all identifying papers both fromr his office and his home. Inspectors Bodie A Wellman declared Dr. Cole a fugl tive from justice. Mrs. Buckles, victim of an fl legal operation, the police declar ed, had left her husband, C. K Buckles, Wednesday with the an nounced intention of visiting Dr. Cole. Buckles, accompanied by po lice, found the body when they en tered the offices to ascertain wh- the young woman had mot re turped. "feed a cold, but starve a fever, and have perhaps wondered how much sense there was in it. As a matter of fact a "cold," as we ve cognize it mow, is really an infec tion, and infection of course nearly always means a fever or tempera- ture, Therefore, instead of using the old time expression of feeding a cold and starving a fever we should say, "always starve the patient when the first sign of a cold is noticed." In fact with a cold at hand, one of the first symtoms you'll notice will be your lack of desire for food. You lose your appetite. A lost ap petite is really a serious matter, Some one has been outlining the difference between appetite and hun- ger. Hunger is due to the movements or contractions of the empty stom ach which remind you that you need food. Appetite however is dependent on your memories of the taste, smell, and sight of food, Appetite then is really the desire to eat to gratify these memories, A few mouthfuls of food satisfies your hunger, but only a real meal satisfies your appetite. Thus from a health standpoint you can see that a good appetite is mos timportant. If you stuff a pa tient at this time, he may lose his natural appetite, Because appetite is thus really a matter of the brain, Pavlov, Boldyreff, and other re- search men, Lave been able to show that just the memory of good food actually stimulates the stomach juice before food ever enters it, What 18 my point? Where there is a lack of appetite after recovering from an illness, or a lack of appetite any time, then every means should be taken to build up, to create a natural appetite, How? By remembering that the brain must be stimulated to desire food. Thus foods that are good foods, that the patient likes, must be supplied. The meals should be well spread apart, The serving should be made attractive, Now this is all common sense, be- cause the patient gets all his strength from his food, and the development of a good appetite is the most effec- tive way of making sure that he will get the food, ROME 1S ROCKED BY EARTHQUAKE Damage in Populous Section as Fissure Opens and Ceilings Fall Rome, Italy, Dec. 26--Rome was shaken today by an earthquake of unusual violence, lasting about four minutes. The first shock was at 4.07 p.m. A fissure was opened up in the populous quarter of the city, the ceilings in several houses fell and the cornice of a church broke off, injuring a priest who was passing by. The priest was removed to a hospital, The tremors were distinctly felt at the Vatican, The Pope was in his private study and was not a little surprised to see books and papers moving perceptibly and the furniture wabble in the room. The shock varied from five to six degrees, according to different locali- ties in Rome itself, increasing to seven or eight degrees at the towns of Rocca Di Papa and Velletri. The spectators at a football game in the Appian Velodrome felt the shock distinctly and a stampede was threatened in the stands, but officials quicted the half panic-stricken foot- ball fans, Reports from Naples, Avezzano, Florence and Milan indicate that there was no shock at those centres. The central point of the disturb- ance seems to have been in the Rocco Di Papa district, about 20 miles from. Rome. At that place and Velletri, as well as several ther small towns, fissures were opened, both in the strects and in a number of houses aud the inhabitants were for a time in a panic. A few walls fell. In Rome firemen were quickly summoned and took measures to prevent accidents through the cracks caused by the quake, and they also cleared away much of the debris. Rome was visited by a slight earth- quake on October 11 last. The cen- tre of the quake at that time was Avezzano, No damage was done in the Eternal City, although houses were rocked and the streets quiver- ed under foot. STOLEN STAR CAR IS FOUND IN MUCH BATTERED CONDITION The Star coach owned by Nelson S. Baird, 58 Drew street which was reported to the local police as being stolen while parked beside the King street Church on Friday evening last, was recovered Saturday night in a rather battered up condition in the ditch beside the Kingston road mear Grafton east of Cobourg. No trace has yet been found of those responsible for the theft. The two front wheels, radiator. windshield and right front fender are reported as being the greatest damage sufferers. A Chicago paper says that 90 per cent. of the city's population is re- ligious. With the other 10 per cent. cutting and shooting up, the scared 90 per cent. just have to be religious. ~Kitchener Record. HOUSE OF DAVID ABANDONS HOPE Benjamin's Body iies Inert Benton Harbor, Mich. Dec. 26. --The work of the House of David religious colony founded by "Kiug" of the leader's death, it was an nounced Wednesday, A former California judge will become the prophet of the 'Israelites.' "Benjamin's" successor is flarry T. Dewhirst, who was a Superior Court judge in San Beraardino, county, California, more than ten years ago. He was regarded as one of the most able young law- yers in the state until he "heard Benjamin's message," in 1020, and brought his family to live at the colony. The colony has seen fallure of fulfillment of its prophecies before, and Benjamin's failure to arise from the dead has caused no v.. ible change in the conduct of the bearded cult, What attitude they may take In discussing the situa tion with each other is not known but their doctrines have proved elastic in the past. Benjamin pre dicted the coming of the millenium several times and when it failed to arrive he was not appreciably disturbed, BRIDGE BUILT IN ONLY 26 HOURS Relays of Men Moved Giant Girders in Dark Maidstone, England, Dec. 26-- Large gangs of expert bridge erec- tors, working in short lifts, laid the 130 ton steel floor of a new 125 foot long railway bridge across the River Medway, near here, during Wednesday night and Thursday. It was a twenty-six hours' race against time, to prevent train ser- vices being interrupted more than necessary on' the alternative route for the heavy continental hoat ex- presses running between Victoria and Folkestone and Dover. The men sorted order out or ¢ seeming chaos of steel plates, girders, heavy bhaulks of timber, railway lines, and the parapherna- lia of their trade as they sweated in the yellow, spluttering light of acetylene flares high up above the river in a fashion which must re main a mystery. The preliminary work of adding to the brick piers, so that the tem- porary wooden staging of the bridge could be removed, had been done, The old bow-shape girders had heen replaced by two nev lattice steel girders, shapely and strong. A reporter carried away from the scene before December's rain: substitute for a dawn broke a vi sion of tired-eyed, hroad-shoulder ed human machines caught in the toils of a fantastic dream, the ac companiment to which was thr flicker of crude lights, the stead: hiss of blue flamed oxey-acetylenc blow lamps burning their we through thik metal, and the si! ence of the workers. Supports Cnt Away The old iron supports were Theold iron supports were away after hours of work; the white hot chips fell towards the river below like showers of silver falling in the sun, A five-ton crane snorted Into place with the daylicht on a spe- cially made railway track, The man ranged themselves ready. The crane delicately low- ered a twenty-five feet long and three feet wide steel beam, One squad placed it in position as easi ly as if it had been a toy. The crane backed away. Moulders and riveters clanzed the steel safe The crane came back. Steel plates swayed into position on the floor and were bolted down in tne wi- der painted on them, One section of the floor was laid, Platelayers followed from the opposite side of the bridge, and sleepers, chairs, and rails were laid. A monotonous succession of efficient workers followed hour after hour, while the men kept silent. REFUSE PAYMENT IN AEROPLANE HUNT New York, Dec. 26--Mrs. Brice Goldsborough's $500 Christmas cheque, which she received by mail after her husband took off in the amphibian plane Dawn for Harbor Grace, Nfld., was refused today fn payment for the aeroplane seareh made by a Curtiss amphibian plane yesterday. M. M. Merrill, head of the Cur- tiss Flying Service, announced to- day that C. M. Keyes, President. and Frank H. Russell, Vice-Presi- dent, of the Curtiss Company, had informed Mrs. Goldsborough that they could accept no money from her under the circumstances. The wife of the Dawn's naviga- tor had offered the cheque in pay- ment of the fruitless eight hour search made by William Winston, pilot, and Steve Parkinson, me- chapnie, for the Dawn, yesterday. They flew as far as Cape Cod. She also announced that the expendi- ture left her virtually at the end of her personal resources to continue the search. d EE ---------------------------- The hardest job a youngster faces cut cut Fourth Day Passes and King | the 12TH BATTERY EASILY DEFEATS EAST TEAM rm London, Ont, Dec. 24.--London East were no match for the Ben Purnell, will continue in spite | ners Alphonse Langelier in this city was worth $10,000 is much too high, Mr. Langelier stated today He sald it was worth $1,500 at the outside.
