The answer is simple, The sources of information, which are now so willing to keep the public in touch through the press, would cease to be news sources out of self-preservation, Where mountebanks might gain something the public would lose everything, But there is no cause for anxiety, With few exceptions the courts have stood watch pver this sacred prerogative of the reporter pnd in those exceptional cases where the guard has been withdrawn the reporter has sacrificed his own liberty that he might not break faith with his news source and with his readers, AVOIRDUPOIS AND HONESTY In its dealings with fat men and slim men, ghort men and tall men, and the happy me» dium sort of man an insurance company has arrived at the conclusion that fat men are more honest than the "lean and hungry." Was it a similar 'discovery made long ago that caused Shakespeare to make Caesar say, "Let me have men about me that are fat?" The fat man is noted for his ready wit and hearty laugh, and that may explain some of his honesty, It is hard to picture a good- humored, open-faced, jolly man as anything but fair and square and straight; and good- humored, open-faced, jolly men usually wear suspenders to hold up a 48 belt. 'Of course, "'a man may smile and smile and be a villain," but that sort of mirth never issues from a fat man, A smile is often associated with wick- edness, but a free, belly-shaking laugh be- tokens a guileless genius. Whether fact or fallacy, it is good to hear 8 kind word for the rotund boys. They have suffered long under the old heartless saying that "nobody loves a fat man." Even in af- fairs of the heart they have not been taken seriously, but like the clown, whose life is filled with woe, must grin broadly. i WHISTLERS Whistling is a boy's own music. It is as natural for him to whistle as it is for g bird to sing--although the music is not always 8s melodious, It is as instinctive with boys gs throwing stones and raiding orchards and corn fields, And not even when he becomes boy" does he forget how, Like the charm of music that soothes the savage beast, whistling has a magic charm that stills the fears and instills courage in the youthful breast. A boy is never alone 2s long as he ean whistle. At day he whistles out of sheer joy and enthusiasm, and abroad slone at night he finds comfort and protection fin his shrillest whistle. A boy reprimanded, 8 servant dismissed, Roes away whistling, if he dares, He wishes to express contempt, and he succeeds, at least, in enraging the object of his scorn. A hobbledelioy who commits some breach of the proprieties commonly bursts into a whistle. Dr, Johnson considered it a "nice trait of character" if one could avoid the appearance of servility by whistling as he went about carrying out the order of another. Why is whistling, like so many other hu- man practices, restrained in society by un- written rules of etiquette? Is it because melodious whistlers are rare or because to give vent to one's innermost feelings is con- sidered evidence of bad breeding? In this connection it will be remembered that one of the first laws of etiquette forbids the man acting like a boy. ne \ THIRTY-SECOND MEALS. a Pneumonia, rheumatism, arthritis and re. lated diseases are being treated by a type of diathermic electrical apparatus. It develops an intense internal heat, and some one not long ago conceived the idea that it might also prove useful in cooking, Tests were ar- ranged, and it developed that diathermic electrical heat could bake a potato in 60 seconds, roast a steak in 80 seconds and fry an egg in two seconds, Further experimen- tdtion is under way in the hope that a sys- tem can be devised which will reduce con- siderably the time now consumed in prepar- ing a meal, ; Those who have watched an able cook work lovingly and leisurely in the preparation of a tasty dish will shudder at the mere thought of a three-minute meal, What has the world come to that gastronomic satisfaction no longer is considered' worthy of effort? What pleasure would there be in the most appetizing dish if those partaking of it knew it was prepared in a few seconds? What sat- isfaction would a talented cook gain from preparing a choice viand if he had to admit it represented but ten seconds of effort? That is putting the noble art of cooking in a .class with mesmarism, The world has little need of three-minute dinners. It does need a return to the old days in which cooking was an art, and when food preparation was a matter of days rather than hours. Though . modern kitchenette wives pray for foods that can be prepared in less time than it takes to boil a four-minute egg, their dyspeptic husbands moan and hope for a return to that brand of cookery that made kitchen slaves of housewives and heal- thy stomachs and good appetites for their husbands. - EDITORIAL NOTES -- Those who dance must pay the corn doc- tor, Very few women are as old as their ene- mies say they are.

Bit of Verse APRIL April is a saucy jade, Petulant and bossy maid, Full of flippant whims and wiles, But she's lovely when she smiles.

Whomsoever he secretly takes advice irom causes him not only to Llunder but to blunder in the worst fashion, The way he has mismanaged the rubber question has caused a loss to the British voters of two hundred mil- lion sterling. It is proverbial that politicians eat their words; but be- cause he could not digest some random phrase in his electioneering address, he has handed over the majority-force of the' electorate to young women.Javing been return- ed with a vast majority, half of which is now disguntled he is sending his party into the wilder- ness after the next election, and it is certain they will have to find another Moses to guide them again into the promised land of office." CHARMING NURSES (From the New York Sun) At first the announcement that a class has been established at St. Mark's Hospital to teach nurses how to become more charming than they\are seems to hint at a work of supererogation. Nearly any per- son whose misfortune it has been to remain for a long time a patient in a hospital will testify that al- though some nurses m.y be more attractive than others, all nurses are charming. Even that woman of firm visage and resolute eye who insists to the peevish convalescent that orders are orders and rules are rules and there positively shall be no kicking oft of covers--even her efficiency is not devoid of a certain grace, Part of the curriculum at St. Mark's has to do with instruction in proper diction, The young wo- men are taught not to chop some words and not to slur others, as well as to modulate their voices to agreeable pitch, So far as the pro- nunciation of words is concerned, supersensitive persons will hope the instructors may not go too far, at the same time admitting that for the sake of the patient's men- tal serenity it is just as well that frequenters of the sick bed shall not say "noice" for "nurse" or "wat" for "what." TAKING TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED (Fromy the Ottawa Journal) In their interpretations of ths St. Lawgence Waterways corres- pondence between the Governments of the United States and Canada, American newspaperds appear to believe that all that is necessary now is to begin negotiating a treaty and to get on with the canal, They are taking too much for granted. In the first place, Canada can and will do nothing until the Sup- reme Court decides whether the Dominion or the provinces have jurisdiction over power. The ver. dict of the Supreme Court given, the case will be taken to the Privy Council, and no decision from that body will be available before the beginning of next year. After that, in the very likely event of the provinces winning their point, there will be very com- plex and almost necessarily pro- longed conferences between the Do- minion and Quebec and Ontario. Canada, by that time, will be ap- proaching a general election, when beyond any question the St. Lawr- ence project will be a major issue. There will be many points to be determined. One of them, not stressed by Mr. King, will be the question of the diversion of water from the Great Lakes by the city of Chicago. In this connection it is interesting to note that this is the view of one of the most influential members of the United States Senate. Senator George Norris of Nebraska is reported to have said that "Canada would be justified in demanding the settle- ment of the Chicago water-diver- sion question as a necessary condi- tion of any St. Lawrence water- way treaty." There will be other questions, all calling for long negotiations; ques- tions of cost, of engineering, of the division of power, of the method of international control, and so forth, The truth is, indeed, that CHRIST FOR ALL~ALL FOR CHRIS? 7 i £5 By Tak. aut 6 Rt A WISE SON--A wise son mak- eth a glad father; but a "oolish son is the heaviness of his mwoth- er.--Prov. 10:1.

Now my point is this, that if the movement in the stomach and in- testine is the important factor, then anything that interferes with move- ment, such as emotions of fear, an- ger, worry, and so forth, should be avoided, if at all possible, dur- ing digestion. As digestion takes three to six hours in the stomach, and six to twelve in the small in- testine, with another twelve to twenty-four for waste matter to pass along, there is no time left in which you can worry, be angry, or afraid. On the other hand, movement in intestine can be actually helped by a little thought. If you are willing to bend from side to side a few times, with "knees straight", and then lie on back, and slowly raise legs to a right angle, with knees straight, a few times, you can actually stimu- late. movement in intestinal walls, and movement in the right direc- tion.
