Albert Faulkner, M. A., Fox- boro, who was a patient for several weeks thé past Summer in Bowmanville Hospital, addressed The- Hastings Liberal Club> Belleville, on December 15th, the address being scholarly and well thought out, says The Daily Ontario. The speaker based his address upon NormanAngell's epoch- making work "The Great Illusion" a book that promises to do more to change and shape world opinions* and policies more than any work that has appeared in the last hundred years. Referring editorially to the address The Ontario said in its Wednesday's issue t Liberalism is fortunate in having In this district so capable, earnest, and eloquent an exponent as Dr. Faulkner, It is no dead or dying force that attracts to its service the cultured and enthusiastic young men of the community the young men who are not looking for the loaves or fishes, but who hope for no further reward tlian to see the high" principles they represent represent put into effective practice in the government of the country. Politics is too often a sordid game, but to make it cleaner and more wholesome we need in it the presence of more men of principles and ideals. Dr. Faulkner's address was a non-partisan presentation of a subject that is just now arousing universal interest among the nations and a.subject that does not concern party politics in Canada. War is hell. It is à relic of savagery Depend upo'n it, civilization and Christianity Christianity will find a better way to settle disputes than by international murder and wholesale wholesale destruction of property. And the end of war may come sooner than many of us think. Your Heart is Weak--Prevents i *' Tendency to Hurry. ... Walking upstairs backward was urged by a London physician as a useful practice in case of heart weakness and os helping in a more equal distribution of muscular wear and tear. fif Firstly and most important," he said, "walking upstairs backwards backwards would prevent any tendency tb hurry. No matter how inveterate inveterate a /stair-rush' a man might be, he would have to moderate his pace if going backwards. This enforced deliberation would, of course, be of great value in heart disease. ! "The second effect would be to relieve the strain.-from the ordinary ordinary walking and climbing muscles (those on the front of the thigh), and to press into service those on the back of the leg, which ordinarily ordinarily d 0 no work in climbing stairs. The total result, therefore, might be a saving, in muscular wear and tear through a more economical distribution of effort. This, of course, would also be of value in cases of heart weakness." -, - "--*- ---- Miller's Worm Powders will 1 NO*i We unhesitatingly recommend Magic Baking Powder as being the best, purest and most healthful baking powder powder that it is possible to produce.
