Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago | TUESDAY, MARCH 10, 1930 THE WOMEN'S WELFARE LEAGUE "The Women's Welfare Leagué of Oshawa has done a splendid work in the last Tew months. Organized in Novembex because of the urgent need of relief in the city, the organization has, "since 'its inception "dis- bursed a sum of over $2,300 in clothing and other relief for the poor and needy families of Oshawa. Without this munificent effort on the part of these publicespirited women, many children in Oshawa would have gone cold and uncomfortable during the bitter months. ber ¢ Je League has done well in its initial venture. It will do even more in the future as it applies the lessons of it$ past experi- ence, and devotes its energies to other forms of welfare work that are much needed. A step in the right direction is the decision to engage a permanent social service worker to direct the work of the organization. An of- ficial of this kind can perform much use- al service in the city, and could make: the voluntary efforts of the Welfare League even more effective than they have been. 'The women of this organization Rave an excellent start. They have made a definite and worth-while contribution to the welfare of the people of Oshawa during a trying period, and they have been fully deserving of recognition as one of the per- .manent forces for good in the community.

These cities, in 1929, had a combined total of 143 fatalities in 1929, compared with 106 in 1928 and 116 in 1927. It is interesting, too, that Toronto is credited with having only 82 fatal accidents in 1929, whereas the newspapers of that city, last fall, reported the 100th fatal accident for the year. As- suredly there must be something wrong with somebody's figures. But taking the figures as they are, they show, on the one hand a decrease of 24 fa- talities 'as' compared with 1928 and 30 as compared with 1927. On the other hand, there is an increase of 87 over 1928 and 28 over 1927. These figures are hardly justi- fication for the statement that substantial progress ' has been made in the last two years in 'traffic accident prevention, but then the use of figures depends entirely on what one is trying to prove. AN APPLE A DAY The apple growers of Ontario are in a puzzling situation. According to a state- ment made to the agricultural legislature, they are the people of today who seem to have forsaken the old slogan, "An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away," and have for- saken the humble apple for the more seduc- tive flavors of orange juice. The orange juice fad, according to the member of the legislature who put forward this argument, has killed the taste for apples. Now if oranges could be grown in On- 'tario, this would be all right. Everyone would hold up both hands for the orange juice fad. But oranges have to come from Florida and California, so that it is not a very good thing for the province. or the ap- ple growers. people simply must be An excha that the average life of pin is 25 yearsy One knows, of course, 'Scotemen 1ive'a good deal longer than Life is what & man makes 1s fa unless, of course, he happens to NMA... ep otvs Cog ERE 'Flattery is different from poison that "|" those who swallo§/ "never turn sick. | Ph + |'that | world.

Barton, M.D. REDUCTION OF WEIGHT AND THE HEART For years health writers have been advising readers that overweight is a serious matter, Insurance physicians and statisti- cians have likewise been pointing out that owerweight individuals were not as good insurance risks as those of normal weight, and they were also poor surgical risks. Just -why overweight folks were not as good risks is because of the extra work put upon the organs by this surplus weight, Dr. W. Scharff reports the result of the X ray study and examination of the heart in fifty-one overweight persons before and after a reducing cure, He found that in those who were normal as to heart and blood vessels that the heart actually decreased in size after the loss of weight, In those whose heart muscle was not normal, although the blood pres- sure was normal, there was no' de- crease in the size of the heart by loss of weight, whereas in those with the heart muscle affected and the blood pressure high, there was a decrease in the size of the heart with the loss in weight, Dr. Scharff is of the opinion that the decrease in the size of the heart after the reducing of the weight is due not so much to the loss of fat in and about the heart itself, but be- causefthe heart muscle fibres get back to their norm: size. This might be likened to a piece of elastic that is on a slight stretch all the time instead of being in its natural condition with no stretch on it. This stretghing or dilatation of the heart in overweight adults is not found in overweight children, in whom the heart seems to refain of normal size despite their weight. Now what is my thought? That reducing the weight gradually '|is a good idea' for adults, not only because they can gel around more readily, can take more exercise, do not overload the system liver--intes- tine, kidneys and so forth with un- necessary food to be cared for, but because they get the heart back, or near to its normal size, and it can do its work more efficiently. And after all the heart is what you depend on in health, and even more in illness. A strong muscular will carry you through where a dilat- ed deficient heart might not be able to do sol But remember the reducing must be done gradually. Many cases of col- lapse and death are mow definitely | caused by unsupervised reduction in weight.

PICK NORSEMAN FOR CHALLENGER Nova : Scotians Pin Their Faith on Roue Designed Sloop Halifax, March 11 -- (Written for the Canadian Press by-H. W. Jones)--Nove Scotia yachtsmen are keenly interested in a bit of boat building now xoing on at the yards of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, the Island, Toronto. At these yards, William Ogle, master builder of the R.C.Y.C. is construc- ting the S8-metre Norseman, one of three candidates for selection as challenger for the famous Can- ada's Cup, now held by the Roches- ter Yacht Club, of Rochester, N.Y. Nova Scotia's interest is due to the fact that the Norseman = has been designed by W. J. Roue, Hal- {fax naval architect. Mr. Roue won honor for himself and his Province when the Lunenburg schooner, Bluenose, built to his design. first captured the Internutional Fishev- men's Trophy back in 1921, Blde- nose still retains the title of un- defeated champion fAshing schoon- er of the North Atlantic. Nova Scotians hope that what Rous has done in international racing with a fishing schooner, he will repeat with a yacht, Norseman will compete at Tor- onto this summer with two other S-metre boats, built from the blue prints of two famous Old Coun- try designers--Fife and Nicholson --for the right to challenge for the Canada's Cup, which has not been raced for in some years but which 1s recognizeq as the blue- ribbon trophy of yucht racing on the Great Lakes, and in interna- tional racing, ranks next in im- portance to the America's Cup and the Seawanake Cup. Norseman, designed in Halifax, and building fn Toronto, is the all Canadian boat of the trio. "Quest" partly built at the Fife works in Fairlie, Scotland, is now being completed at "the Oakville Yacht Works, Oakville, Ont, Her keel back-bope, deck-beams and some of her frames came over from Fair- le. board of Nicholson, Shamrock V, Sir Thomas Lipton"s latest challenger for the America's Cup, is now being built at Gosport, England, and will be shipped as a complete yacht to Canada early this - summer.

Topic for the Week "COMING TO TERMS WITH THE UNIVERSE" Memory Verse: "Thy righteous. ness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep (Psalm 36:6.) Read: Psalm 36: 5-10, MEDITATION God's ways are often as mys- terious and unfathomable as the sea, into whose dark depths we cannot peer. But His righteous- ness, said the Psalmist, is "like the mountains." We can see the mountains, They do not change or pass away. They stand fast in all storms. To be on living jor} with the world, we must believé thet there is integrity at the heart of it. That hlone makes life worth living and ideals worth striving for, Qur righteousness is grounde « in the HShteousnem is groun§ed in the A "But nothing can be good in Him Which evil is in me," We can bravely trust the juds- ments of God, if His righteousness is like the mountains, PRAYER Lord, Thou art our light and our salvation. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so Thon art round about Thy people, In Thy surrounding righteousness we find comfort and security and peace, Amen, NAN WHO SOLD WIFE TOO CHEAP SENT T0 PRISON Discovers He Could Have Got More Than. $50 Paris, March 11---Mikkil Leppik faced a sorry prospect the other day because he sold his wife too cheaply. When he leaves jail--he is nearing the end of a month's sentence--he will have neither wife or money, and his hope of going to America must be deferred. Leppik, an Esthonian fur dealer, found business slack here and sold his wife, Irma Ivanoff, to Alexandre Minckh, a Ukranian, for 2,101 francs (about $80). x Minckh thought he had a bargain and boasted of his good fortune to friends, .. The friends told Leppik. Leppik was cofisumed with regrets at having been out-bargained. He wrote, letters to MincRh. He said if he did not receive an addi- tional come a "savage beast" and go prowl ing after Minckh and Irma Ivanoff. Min took fright and appealed to the ¥Welfth correctional court. The court sentenced Leppik to jail, not for selling his wife, which he had a right to do, but for threatening hu- man life, Legion Will Hold Tag Day Belleville--On Saturday of this a tag day, The money from this drive will be used for relief and maintenance work.
