More recently folks were offered long life and perfect health in twelve easy exercise taken to the rhythm of a pho- nograph record. Diet courses are likewise svailable and find a ready market due to the present trend toward the svelte figure, A correspondence school accountant has figured that the number of culture mail courses now being advertised in current indicates that one person must have been the author of two or three courses, Buy why not education, health and cul- ture in synthetic form, if synthetis food is to be the future diet? PHYSICAL PROGRESS It is 8 good thing for a nation to improve as moran to improve that they fis too plain to support even 3 doubt. One fllustration will suffice to bear out the latter assertion.

Just as men and women of peculiar mental calibre will not 'permit themselves to be taken to a hospital until the angel of death is virtually tapping at the door, there was a time when the dentist's major performance was on the teeth of humans racked with torturing pains. classes telligently guard the teeth of their children nl div, 4 and physically: THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDA., «=3RUARY 29, 1928 in- from infancy, taking measures to guide them into their proper position and preventing de- cay. The toothbrush is in almost universal use, In the schools th is taught den- tal cleanliness and is sWbjected to frequent dental examinations, And countless adults no longer postpone visiting the dentist until a sharp pain sounds the alarm of dental trouble, The nation's reward is that toothache is becoming rare and clean, even teeth are be- coming a national characteristic, LEADERS IN NAME ONLY There is a continuous obligation owed by every, individual to the community and es- phe, by those favored by fortune, En- lightened self-interest should quicken ac- ceptance of the obligation, There is hardly room for arugment that what is good for the community is, broadly considered, good for the individual in his work, Conversely, what is good for the individual in the best sense is good for évery other man, woman and child in the community, Too much must not be expected from poli- ticians and parties, too often approached from both sides 'on the basis of a horse trade, governmental agents must be sup- plemented by the efforts of private persons who can envision things as they ought to be, and at long range, Politicians and of. ficeholders, regardless of what they may say in their campaigns, are mostly concerned with getting into office and staying in, That is why they are in politics, They are in politics to get into office or to have a hand in putting others in office, as other men and women are in business or professions to make money or a career, or both, But the politician and officeholder is usual- ly wise enough to know that that which is beneficial to the community or state or na- tion will best react to his benefit, His mo- tives for serving the public may be selfish but the service is no poorer for that, No man can long remain in public office or in political control who consistently re- gards the will and welfare of the voters, Public service is the foundation upon which he must build his political power, Failure 'to give satisfactory service has wrecked more political careers than anything else, Convince the majority the voters that those in office are not gaving a fair return, in service, on the dollaf, in taxes, and it will take more than a slush fund and politi- cal machine to keep them in office ERRORS IN ECONOMICS One by one the pet schemes of Russia's communistic 'government are breaking down. Each failure brings the soviet dreamers near- er the inevitable awakening, They are learn- ing, as many other political experimenters have,Ythat human perfection must precede political and social perfection, When the soviet government was formed, one of the first planks in its platform was abolition of capital, What private capital the state could not confiscate it refused to accept for the development of Russian natur- al resources, industries and agriculture, The workers were to give and get everything. It was a beautiful idea until the govern- ment discovered it needed capital to put the factory wheels in motion and that the neces- sary capital could not be collected from the workers in the form of taxes until the fac. tories were opened to give them employment, So the government conceded capital was a necessary evil and went begging for it. The latest soviet scheme to collapse re- lates to agriculture, The peasant farmer was to produce a certain quantity of grain at a price fixed by a government controlled by the city workers. Now Russias faces 8 food famine because the farmers are raising only enough for. their own needs, the government peices being too low to make marketing pro- Ba digit. dRhe al ave the torts ent weakness of attempting to provide for consumption without taking proper account of production and distribution.

MARMED PEOPLE'S LETTERS. (By Lady Kitty Vincent, in the London Dally Mail) "I'm so sorry," said newly mar- ried Jill and Jack. "I thought this was a bill and I opened it, but I see it's a private letter." Jack put it in his pocket without saying anything, and Jill, who had seen just enough of the letter to make her feel curious, was left a prey to curiosity and also feeling tee re 1: a A TERRIBLE CONTRAST --The Lord will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish; but he ecast- eth away the substance of the wicked. upon us for Thou are righteous and dost love righteousness and hate iniquity. PRAYER--O God, have mercy at she had amnoyed her hus Should husbands and wives ever open each other's letters? Never! is the only satisfactory answer. It cannot do any good and it may do incaluclable harm. I knew a couple who opened each other's letters, and one day the wife discovered that her hus- band had lent an old friend a cer- tain sum of money. That sum was repaid to the last penny, but the woman never felt the same agaln towards the man who had borrow- ed it, and in the end the friend- ship languished and died between the two men owing to the wife's Whtonsclova attitude of disapprov- al. In another case the wife had a woman friend who had a silly flir- tation with a married man. The former helped her friend as best she could with advice and her greater knowledge of the world, and in the end the friend broke with the man entirely, but not be- fore, through reading one of her letters, the husband had discover- ed what was happening. Ever af- terwards he insisted that he friend was not a godd companion for his wife, and another friendship was dropped. At the bottom it is suspicion that causes a married couple to wish to see each other's correspondence, because if one of the mhas a letter that will interest the other he or she will naturally share it. And if by any chance a letter is the means of arousing suspicions that all is not as it should be wha. good has been done? A man or a woman may have a foolish infat- uation for a member of the oppo- site sex, which if left to itself will die a natural death, If it is dls- covered there are recriminations and reproaches and a breach has been mrade which can never be quite healed. "EYE CARE and © FYE STRAIN" By C, 1X0 i, Deh, SNS Elicina . a pb to Success Part "14" Accidents are sometimes un- avoidable because one or other of those concerned has imperfect vi- sion. Make sure of your condition and you will know that you are! doing your best. It would seem ! from reports that death and in- juries: due to Automobile accidents from year to year are on the in- crease. A little thought on our part and we must feel that this is true because when ecivilization's advance demands the expending of more energy and effort it is a na- tural sequence that with the ex- pansion of industry and produc- tion accidents and injuries must proportionately increase. Safety first rules if made for a good purpose should be enforced, If the eyesight is going to be corrected as a safety first measure and the one who possesses the defective oyesight fails to heed the advice and admonitions offered for his own sake, the laws should be en- forced not for his good but for the prevention of the injuries that may affect others through his neglect. If a driver's eyes are defective and he fails to get a license to drive, his vision is just as much a menace to hiny at any other work. He is not as capable of avoiding danger as would be the case if he were more fully corrected. The value of any correction fis noticeably appreciated and sume orly need to lay aside their cor- rection for a short time to realize | its true value.
