During the try out, when 20 young men rushed down the take-off, swished through the air and met the earth with a resounding zip of skis, 600 spectators thrilled to the sight even though .an icy blast of wind endeavored to dampen" their enthusiasm, Merrit G. (Puddy) Putnam, 1028 Olympic * representative came first with perfectly ~ execut-- ed leaps of 113 and 110 feet. Nordic Cecuil Skavaas, came sec- ond. While Toronto's. own Ross Wilson, also a 1928 Olympic competitor, took third place in the jumps, but in the clubs cross country race at Caledon, Ross Wilson led the field over a torturous 10-mile course thus earning the combined chanipionship.

It is reported that he argues there is no excuse for any- one to have a cold, and according te rumours colds have been banned from the White House. i 1 We cannot vouch for the truth of the following, but it.is said President Roosevelt has issued an order that anyone.in the White House who takes a cold is taken off food, ordered im- mediately to bed, and given a small "dose of ordinary baking soda and all the lemon juice they can drink. "This is in liné with modern think-| ing among many dietitians and food' experts that fasting is the soundest method. of eradicating poisons which are lowering the resistance and caus- ing diseases of all kinds, Certainly at this season of the year, when the weather is severe and colds prevalent, the simplest care is to stop eating and go on a frult juice diet for twenty-four or forty-eight hours, Feed- ing a cold is undoubtedly wrong, and filling up' with cough and eold cures is a useless expense and of:very dottbt- ful value, 3 : In addition to curing a cold fruit juices are very valuable in preventing cold, Two or more glasses taken daily are an esgential to a balanced diet. ee Old Town Btill stands the sohoolhougse by the road, = : : The wee white church is still A slender finger pointing toward God's acre on, the hill, : The country store is all untouched, The blue lake takes deep rest Among the pines, and shady boats | Are lulled against its 'breast, It is not changed, the little town The years have passed it by; The sung and storms have left no trace Upon its heart--but I, Whose feet have wandered far away, Look at it with new eyes With wonder and surprise, --Margaret Sangster) . 1] . ] A He who bears fallure with patience is as much a philosopher, as he who succeeds; for to put up with the world needs as much wisdom as to control Solitary Old Woman Leaves Large Estate {Fortune Started from Pennies Charged to Enter Garden Maze at' Hampton Court Palace ~.

But very few of these fur headplecés were to be seen exceut on policemen, There is a remarkable change In this matter since 25 yéars ago. At that time nearly everybody in Toronto wore fur caps, fur gauntlets, and, per- haps, fur coats. Curlously enough one sees more fur coats than fur caps in Toronto nowadays, possibly because the coats were too expensive to be dis- carded or stored away llke the caps in cotton bags and hung in forgotten places. . : There used to be caps. of sealskin, otter, beaver, mink, Persian Lamb and several others and how proud a young fellow could be of his fur cap and gaunt - lets and the fur collar on his over ~ coat as he drove the prancing livery horse up to the door to take his best girl for a cutter ride. " Even after the motor car came in and grew popular furs flourished, be- * cause all cars were open and the first closed cars were scoffed at as stuffy and one had to stoop and fold oneself up to enter them. They held one, ft and the feeling of being shut in with so much breakable glass all about was disquieting. Many experienced motorists predict-- _ ed that the open car would attend the funeral of the sedan. It has not been so and most cars nowadays are closed ones. , People used to put up thelr cars for the Winter and get out their furs. Now few, city motorists put their cars away in Winter and few get out their furs. It is quite probable that the motor car has, in Toronto, done much to diminish the use of furs by men, as it has done away with the use of large hats, with ostrich feath ers, by women, The motor car has re-made the city and the province in many ways, in how many it would be interesting for some laborious historian to trace in detail and set down.
