by experience in toronto a sixtyyearold couple were arrested and charged witjtjmllfng beer illegally to an eleven- yearold girl last week two men went to jail for terms for supplying liquor to a fourteenyear old boy has it come to the time whcn the men and women are the legitimate consumers of the govern ment supplies pnd the bootlegger trade is being directed on the children we have spoken previous ly regarding the sale of tobacco to minors surely the children can be given adequate protection from these habits and protected until the years when they have developed judgment these years of experimentation withensy access- to liquor are indeed years that this country will pay for dearly some of our relief problems and high way fatalities would be solved by a direct hit at the root but then the way of man has always been learning by experience it seems no matter how bitter the experience still some sunshine the ontario budget shows another surplus al though not as large as the one last year with the distribution of amounts directfy to the benefit of the taxpayer it would of course be expected that the surplus would be decreased it is always welcome news when the announcement is made there will be no increase in taxation nor any new forms of taxa tion for the coming year and such tias been the pronouncement of premier hepburn the collection of succession duties has been the largest source of revenue for the province and it is interesting to learn that this source has not been dried up entirely this year but still may be a fruitful field of revenue another feature of interest to ratepayers gener ally and school boards in particular is the intimation that substantial increases will be made in grants to secondary schools in view of the drastic cut in county grants the increase will require substantial proportions to enable boards to budget nearly even taken altogether the budget is one that shows real progress in the financing of the province the atti tude of giving direct benefit to the small taxpayer has been carried on this ear as well as previously newspapermen set precedent the following is tht viewpoint of thtttnamial tost regarding the visit of ihe

newspapers interview was handled j last week such meetings tan be widelv benehcial to governed and governors alike conveniences cast money those about our own age will recall readily the old travelling medicine troupe that held fourth for a week or so every year in the town hall the length of the visit usually depended upon the amount of sick and run down folks there were in town at that particular time of course you will also recall the programs usually some lively numbers to get the crowd warmed up and then about midway through the program the harangue on tape worms and all the ills to which human flesh is prone the crowd was always held through this and the medicine selling talk by the anticipation of seeing a startling one act comedy such ns over the river charlie or napoleon s mule or something with plenty of kick to it we never see these troupes any more but we hear therrpregularly on the radio we suppose it saves travelling expenses we don t get the full number now between medicine talks the old time medicine man would have been howled down if he had interrupted a selection after the first strain and butted in with his sales talk he had to face his audience the show used to be free and depended solely on the revenue from green mountain oil and tape worm remover its different now its the machine age and for an investment of a hundred or so dollars and an annual fee of 2 50 you can get the old free medicine show in your own home if you don t like it you don t have to leave home but by the turn of a knob go to another show in another town it s more con venient than in days of boyhood but you have to pay for the show whether you buy medicine or not the sunday school lesson fob sunday march i7ui editorial notes all things come to those who wait water

nealacttod the prescribed ceremonial washings before they ate this appeared very outrageous to them as it varied from the almost universal practice of strict jews the washings omitted by the disciples had not been commanded by the law of moses but by the tradition of the elders it was not ordinary dirt of which they wore afraid but possible ceremonial defilement the washing was not for hygienic
