McGhie, superintendent of the Ontario Hospital at Orillia to organize and carry on mental clin- ies throughout the province of Ontario is an indication of the changed attitude, which is now held toward mental disease. There was a time when mental disease was looked upon as a terrible ction, for which nothing could be done save to place the sufferer in an institution for the rest of his or her days. It was looked upon as something like a skele- ton in the family closet, something of which to be ashamed, and to hide from the outside world. To-day, science has progressed to the point where there is an entirely ngw idea as to mental disease. It is now realized that the mind is just as liable to disease as any other part of the body, and that disease of this kind will submit to preventative and cura- five measures just the same as physical ail- | il ments. "The war had a great.deai to do with the |. 'progress of treatment of mental diseases. "Thousands 'of men who cracked, mentally, ".. under the strain of the war, provided psy- chiatrists with their opportunity, and they made wonderful use of it. And out of their experiments came methods by which new hope was given to the mentally afflicted. The ypesult is that nowadays, when.a pat-: ient enters a mental institution, it is not for. life-long incarceration. It is with a view to . a cure being made, and it is astonishing to find how many are actually renewed in ment- al strength and health, and are able to re- turn to their homes and their occupations. The institution of mental clinics is anoth- *er step towards the elimination.of mental diseases. Their purpose is to be largely pre- ventative, to study cases of subnormalcy or abnormalcy in their early stages, and to pre- scribe methods whereby these cases may pe brought back to normal. It is a wonderful work, and it could not have been placed in better hands than those of Dr. McGhie, who is recognized'as one of the outstanding spec- ialists in Canada in this line of study. In the war years he studied it intensively, and fruits of his study to the heal thousands of men who were' broken, in that struggle. 'And in the years been doing a wonderful. tas 3 perintendent of the institution at . Now he is entering an éven wider nowadays all too common. 3 a alll s- |. importa on the list, it is the duty of all voters to use sary articles of food, even if it did mean that the farmers would receive a more pro- I fitable return for his labor and' investment, DEFECTIVE BRAKES One out of every four automobiles recent- 'ly examined in Toronto was found to: have defective brakes. This means that one out ! pt ovary four cars was being driven in a con- on" in which' it' was a diréct menace to public safety. | 214 Ui 1t is interesting to note, however, that the proportion of cars with defective brakes was only one out of every four. We can recall that when the system of compulsory inspec- tion was started about two years ago, there were some reports showing-as high as sixty to seventy per cent. of the cars with their brakes in unsafe'condition. Much progress has been made in that time, and it is safe to ° * gay that progress is due to the educational work done by the periodical inspections. Still, even twenty-five per cent. is too high a proportion of defective brakes. There is no excuse for any motorist driving a car on which the brakes are not in a proper condi- tion to do their work effectively. For his own safety, as well as that of the general ° public, every car-owner should make sure that the brakes of his car are in perfect con- dition beefre he even ventures on the streets. It is easy to find out whether they are or / not, for the police officials of Oshawa are only too willing to make the necessary tests. And as a measure of safety, it is worth all the time, trouble of expense which may be entailed in securing perfect brakes. NOT ONLY AT WEEK-ENDS The record of deaths by accident in On- tario is becoming more than serious. It has become quite customary to have long lists, of deaths over each week-end. But now there are lists at other times as well. The hand of death is spreading out, and taking more and more lives into its clutch. For instance, Friday's newspapers record- ed ten deaths in Ontario by accident, five being drowned, one a victim of the heat wave, and four killed in automobile acci- dents; In the United States, accidental deaths have become so ordinary and every- day that they arouse little comment. May Ontarlo never reach that stage. Every list of accidental deaths should be a solemn warning; a warning that human life is sac- red:and should be safeguarded by every pos- " sible means. It seems like slow work, but it is worth keeping at it. Newspapers, by their I donafant appeals for greater safety on the 'highways, and the elimination of unneces- . sary risks by those venturing on the lakes and rivers, will, in time, succeed in their ob- jective of keeping accidental deaths down to a minimum. The cumulative effect of these warnings is bound to be felt, so that, even although it seems hopeless to try to teach people to he careful, yet the effort is worth while and-will in the end bring the desired results. ' COMPILING THE LISTS In every election for the last few years there has. been an insistent appeal to those . entitled to vote to see that their names are on the lists. The various political parties "have maintained: offices and staffs of work- "ers for the sole purpose of seeing that every available name is listed. Even with this or ganization available, however, there were al- ways some who, by reason of oversight or neglect, found their names left off the list, In the coniing eléction, there should be no complaints of that kind, The system that is being used been devised with a view to Having every persen entitled to vote listed. The enumerators who are going from door to door are representative of the two main pol- itical parties, and are naturally interested in | 'sceing that the lists are complete. The door- to-door canvass system should result in a full list of voters, and that is one essential to e | a complete expression of the will of the The other essential, however, is even more nt. 'Having had their names placed their franchise on election day, so that the '| vote wiil bea truely representative one. A scheme has apparently been devised for hav- - hr | ing tHe voters' lists complete. What would be even better would .be a scheme which .would include one huudred per cent. of those on the lists to vote. : ; EDITORIAL NOTES If the election battle gets as hot as the dverage July weather it will be a battle long | to be remembered. could hardly be ex- Aday is th | The trees and fields.

MERCHANT TO WORK UP A sher GOOD TRAD E* AND ANOTHER TO HOLD IT. * The modern way to hold" trade is by advertising, quality and service. B Some merchants improve their involving principles, and stich mat- ters of minbr importance as will ad- just themselves with the paSsing of time. The newspaper critic ought not to expect the newspaper man to ad- vance or attack any proposition which he himself hasn't the courage to support or' assail over his owh signature. The editor is willing, even | eager, to push any project in the pub lic interest. But he is not willing to pull chestnuts out of the fire for in- dividuals or minorities. A WELCOME PREFERENCE (Aberdeen' Préss and Journal) Canada's tariff concession comes as a welcome offset to the recent deci- sion of the Australian Government to prohibit almost entirely the im- portation of. goods arbitrarily. class- ed as luxuries. This prohibition hits the: British export trade hard; Cane ada's further opening of the door may doften the'blow.

"Cavalry forces ride upon Sholapur," he cables, and ex- lains that "the famous Duke of Vellington's West Riding Regiment clanked its way from Ahmed-Nagar." One of the New York papers headed this with a streamer, "British rush cavalry to city." An Englishman liv- ing in New York has sent me ex- tracts from the letter he sent to the editor concerned explaining that the West Rilling Regiment is a plain foot-slogging regiment of infantry, and congratulating the American public on the accuracy with which it is informed of British events, MIXED IN GEOGRAPHY (Hamilton Herald) In the endeavour to make out a bad case for Britain in India the United States despatches mixed up the tréuble in Rangoon with Gand- hi's 'worries in Bombay. Rangoon is in Burma and the trouble there was over a strike and had nothing at all to do with Gandhi or his salt. The United States ideas of geography outside the great Republic itself are delightfully yague.

DANGER OF REDUCING IF NOT OVERWEIGHT In the first little health talk I ever wrote which is some years #0 now, I spoke of an overweight woman coming to me for advice as to the re- duction' of her weight, Before I could say anything she told me frankly that I must not in- terfere with her dict as she loved to eat: I must not advise exercise as she hated exercise; and I must not lessen the number of hours of her sleep, as she liked to lic in bed until noon everyday, I told her that there were three ways of reducing safely, cutting down in food, increasing the exercise, and cutting down, on hours of sleeping, and as she had refused to do any of the three, I could not help her. And ever since I have been talk- ing about the dangers and penalties of overweight, However, I've been thinking, lately, as I see the great interest in the different reducing methods, that many of my readers who are not really overweight, but who would like to lose weight, are making a great mistake in using some of the popu- lar methods of weight reduction, The big reduction is made of course by reducing the amount of starchy foods caten--bread, potatoes, amount of starches to supply ilie en- ergy 'needs of the body, and it must have a certain amount to keep 'its own structure strong because it is the largest organ in the It gets its immediate supply for it- self from the sugar that it has stor- ed up within its walls, When this gets all used vu», and there is not enough starchy foods be- ing eaten to keep up this supply of sugar, then the liver itself begins to liver will. have very important jobs going to be miserable and depressed.
