' Powers and btone, Inc, New Xork and Chicago, te el TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1929 TITLES FOR CANADIANS . e-- George H, Cahan, Conservative M.,P, for. a Montreal constituency, has breught to the fore the guesiion of. whether or not the way should be opened up for the conferring of titles on Can- adians by giving notice of a resolution which would rescind the former one asking the king to i gonfer no titles on citizens of this country, Titles for Canadians were thrown into the dis- _ eard in 1919, when, on a motion of W, F, Nickle, st that time federal member for Kingston, it was | decided that Canadians should not be included In © any list of titles given by His Majesty the King, At that time, there were many people with severe heart-burnings, because their aspirations to be- [come titled were cut off rudely by the Canadian parliament, At that time, too, there was general approval : on the part of the people of Canada with the . perliamentary action, It was felt that in a new "democracy like Canada, there was Do real place for a titled aristocracy, and particularly for a hereditary line of titles, Thus it was that there was very little disagreement with the resolution of Mr. Nickle. ' The condition of affairs in Canada today has' not changed greatly in that respect since 1919, + Mr. Caban may have some particular reason for ' having a desire to see Canadians again included , im the list of title honors, but the great mass of . the people of Canada are simply indifferent, They have given mo person any mandate to advocate « the return of titles for Canadians, nor have they . in Bny wey expressed themselves as being dfs. patisfied with the present condition, . Tit today do not mean nearly as much as they used to do, and in this country particularly, there does not seem to be any sense in again cre- JX ating a system which lends itself se openly to t | yank abuses, for, after all, the titles may be * gonferred by the king, but they are really the ' gift of the political party in power to those who . happen to be its friends for the time being. For . that reason, the people as 8 whole will have little yeason to support the resolution put forward' by Mr. Cahan. A REFORESTATION Ontario is at last taking seriously the great problem of reforestation, of creating vast forest peserves to take the place of the rapidly diminish- timber supplies of the province. too soon for a step of this kind. re Bave been strong warnings that the timber flo was being cut down and destroyed at | | ® much greater rate than it was being remewed, i i R that something would have to be done to keep supply from runping out entirely, steps being taken by the Ontario govern- IE dhe HH i } This je true not only in the tule of dicta gonntries, but, as has been shown in the Story I ---- of centuries, it is also true ia all phases of dite § in which there are suggestions of tyranmy. Of course, it is easy to point to Mussolini as a dictator who has made a success of dictating to Hla fellow-men. But it is only by the intervention of divine providence that he is alive today, for he has escaped from more attempts at tion than any other living man at the present time, He is successful now because. he has his force of men cowed and submissive, but the time may come, and at no very distant date, when even the Italian worm may turn, and Mussolini will find that men cannot be expected to act as abject slaves for too long a period without revolt, OLD RAZOR BLADES "A chemist has discovered 60 products which may be obtained from peanuts. Science is surely wonderful, but it" has not - yet disclosed what to do with old razor blades.' --Woodstock Sentinel-Review, "But does the Woodstock editor not know what to do with old razor blades? Now that's strange, We don't know our ourselves, but thought for sure he'd have worked it out," --Stratford Beacon-Herald, Perhaps the comment of the Stratford editor: may stimulate his colleague of Woodstock to work out some plan for using these little bits of steel, and when he achieves success, he. will be bestowing a kindness on the rest of his fellow- editors by passing along the solution, They may find it useful, too, EDITORIAL NOTES Mussolini has at least established the truth of the old saying that the king ean do no wrong. Another dry activity schedule for the year. will consist in squeezing water out of stocks, "Liver and lettyce are strength builders, But if you wish to be a real he-man, add onions." A hick town is a place where the police force would lose his job if he arrested a prominent citizen, To be considered' well constructed, the new house should stand up at least as long as the initial mort- gage, As to the much-praised ant, he doesn't produce. Anybody could enjoy industry if it consisted in taking, Automatic trafic signals are hardly a success. They cannot express an opinion of the driver who disre- gards them. If one borrows money it is better to be a nation than an individual. A nation is given more time in which to pay. Along with the announcement that the West Indics people are well pleased with the new Canadian steam- er service, comes a despatch that Jamaica is going in for the growing of bananas, We wonder if that will make them any cheaper in Canada, Now that the politicians have started their work at Ottawa, the man interested in politics will have a busy time keeping one eye on the legislature at To- ronto and the other on the federal parliament at the dominion's capital, Some newspapers have been making derogatory re- marks regarding the opening speech of Mr, Sinclair in the legislature, but there can be no mistaking the fact that he is far from being satisfied with the pro- vincial government. He at least made himself clear on that point. | - Oke Editors' Comment | = A dy THE FAMILY (Sault Dally Star) There is no certain record of any tribe or com- munity of human beings in which the family in one form or another does not exist, FAMILY BOONOMICS (Halifax Herald) Many a family man has discovered that it is easier to get a daughter off his hands them to keep a son-in-law on his feet. i Het i Hi HH i BREE; 3 A nibh Your friends you about your faults, your enemies 'about them a, others, If Mount Etna were 3 country, there would be a Federal Board to control J .

Some years ago I wrote a littl article siking the ques eo on ws a crutch he thought was that if you had & stomach ache and used a dyspep- sia tablet, a headache and used a headache tablet, a pain in stomach and usec some morphine, and so forth, that it was like using a crutch to carry you along, The idea was that while a crutch Was necessary at times or emergen- cies, where you had to get work even if you had a headache or stomach ache, that you should re- member that you were using a crutch should try to do away with it, and walk unaided, I often think that when you get 8 headache, stomach ache, or any other ache and take some medi- cine to stop it, it is simply masking or hiding the cause of the trouble and you are preventing the , cause from being found, As someone has well said "When the fire bell rings the fireman does not pour water on the fire bell; he recognizes the signal and goes where the fire is." And so when a pain or ache comes your first thought should not be to try to "kill" the pain but to find out what is causing the pain, and have the' cause removed if at all possible, As you know a headache may he ue to eyestrain, indigestion, and many other. things, Pain in chest may he due to an actual inflammation. of lining of chest wall--pleurisy,--or it may be due to cold, injury, or infection in the muscular covering of the chest, Pain in abdomen is usually due to gas formation, which in turn is caused mostly by misuse of veget- ables and fruit, both excellent fcods of themselves, Pain-in lower back and hips may he due to sprain, or to infection in hip joints from some infected spot somewhere in the body, What is the thought? That when pain appears don't try to "kill" it with drugs, but try to remember what you had heen doing or eating a little previously. If before you learn its cause some pain killing drug is used, you will make it hard for your doctor to learn the eause, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) | THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1929 Eye Care and ye Strain The Relation of Defective Eyes Health, Part 12" 'Copyright 1928 / BY 0.

The prison surgeon gave evi- dence that death was {instantan- eous, and that everything was car- ried out with despatch, The bodies of Conlin's grand- mother, Emily Frances Kirby, and her second husband, Thomas Kir- by were found buried in a shal- low grave at Norton-on-Tees last September, The man had been struck on the head and the woman strangled, but the medical evidence was that death was due to asphyxia, the bodies having been buried before life was extinct, Robbery was alleged as the mo- tive for the crime, LOADING RECORD MADE AT HALIFAX Over 9,000 Tons of Grain Put on Vessel in 34 Hours Halifax, N. 8., Feb, 12,--A rec. ord for any port from New Or- leans to Montreal to shoot at was established on the Halifax water. front recently, when the 7,435 ton steamer, Lord Strathcona, ' was loaded with 9,743 tons of grain in the elapsed Joading time of 34 hours for 39 minutes, "This is a record for loading any ship of this size with grain on "the Atlantic seaboard," said Deputy Grain In- spector Thomas Fillion, who add- ed that the three days and three hours the Lord Strathcona spent from the taking on of the first to the final bushel beat Montreal time for loading the same ship by 36 | hours, [ Srome Forioncs Q Office: Reford ma + 8 F.
