REPRESENTATIVES; i be no less accessible than now when REROUTING THE TOURIST, In spite of present opposition, provincial * and trans-continental highways will eventually skirt the larger towns and cities. Many cen- tres of population have already pro- vided roads for the detouring of through traffic away from busy city thoroughfares. They have estab- lished a precedent which will un- doubtedly be followed by other municipalities and state highway de- partments. Diverting through traffic around congested districts will relieve con- gestion im the cities and towns, thereby diminishing the possibility of accident. The dangerous inter- section is doubly hazardous where the automobile driver is unacquaift- ed with conditions. Where overnight stops are to be made or shopping done by the through traveler the city centres will the main highways are routed around the city or over little 'travel- ed streets. The same will be true of the motor tourist who fs out to make a "collection" of "cities seen." The city will be there for those who for the city-shy Whether all want it or - this brutal legalized lash. The whip- ping post belongs to the barbarous age of the Spanish inquisition and to the period of Puritan intolerance. It is a severe and perhaps effective method of punishment, but modern man is convinced that society's pre- rogative extends no further than the imprisonment of those who sin against it. This t of public opinion is reflected in the growing opposition to capital punishment. There are members of soclety who cease to prey upon their fellow men only when behind prison bars. For them soclety maintains prisons and policemen. Modern penal laws are less for punishment than for the restraint of criminals and the deter- ring of others from becoming ecri- minals. Society knows that the seasoned criminal is not amenable to punishment and no longer sends him to prison to convert him. Every community has undesirable citizens who undoubtedly deserve the lash, but this fact wiil not swerve public opinion in the community from its abhorence of the Jegalized whipping That had warning to prepare for attack. In the fighting which followed the loyalists were commanded by Col. Fitzgibbon to whom, in 1813, Laura Secord carried her famous warning, and the rebels were commanded by an officer named Van Egmond who had served as a colenel under Na- poleon. 0DD FACTS ABOUT | YOURSELF By YALE 8.

Advertisements are beginning to appear with decorations of holly and To the observant these ad portant business from which none is barred and in which sooner or later everybody will be engaged. In other words, Christmas shop- ping. The holiday is less than a month ahead, fewer shopping days than thirty by a good deal. In no time these days will pass. The na- tural procrastinator will wait until Christmas Eve when store aisles will be jammed by other procrastinators. stocks picked out, clerks weary, cus- tomers in a flutter, clocks ticking time's rapid pace, all because the re- minders of to-day have been ne- glected. Every year more sensible persons do their Christmas shopping early, They reap all the advantages in var- fety of pelection and leisure of choice and when Ohristmas Eve comes they can proceed about their last-minute holiday tasks orderly, while the others tume and sputter. The postmaster has urged early posting of Ohristmas mail, but the last days will prob- ably be bigger than ever. The train leaves at 5.16 but the ears do no{ fill until 5.14. We get there even if we are a last-minute nation, but it is at a tremendous cost of physical and mental upsets.

The roadside signboard has a cer- tain advertising value and the pub- lic neither envies the advertiser for hig profit from it nor does it desire to deprive the advertisér of any busi- ness advantage, but the highways are primarily for the benefit and pleasure of the people and the ad- vertising sign detracts from those benefits and pleasures. Motorists find the poster-board obnoxious for the three reasons that it mars the landscape, obstructs the view of the scenery and creates a traffic hazard by interference with the vision of the driver. All are sufficiently valid reasons why the ad- vertising sign should be prohibited along main highways. In the early days of the automo- bile the roadside postér-board was limited to circus posters om barn Pours By James W. Barton, M.D, | The Heart and Exercise, In a former article } spoke about two physicians differing on a case of so called tuberculosis of the lungs. The one who pronounced it tuber- culosis won his argument by saying "Well if I'm wrong and he hasn't tubercéulosis of the lungs, the treat- ment in the open air with good food will only be of help whereas if I'm right and he doesn't get this treat- ment, what about it? Now the lungs are made of very soft tissue and trouble can spread rapidly unless extreme care is taken. For this reason there can be mo question that. in cases of suspected trouble, it is better to treat the case as if it were really a lung condi- tion than to take a chance upon waiting for a long standing "cold" or "cough" to get better. This may mean some hardships, but time is a big factor, and the sooner the healing influences of fresh air and good food are secured, the more likely is the case to re- cover, But what about so called "heart disease?" I believe we should take the other view of things so as not to cause alarm, f One of the mistakes we have heen making in the past is in speaking of heart disease, or a heart murmur, as if it meant. sudden death at any time, The number of men who have had a heart murmur perhaps all their lives, or following some childish complaint, and who have never even suspected it, would total many thousands. But when they were. being ex- amined for life insurance, the phy- siclan detected it, and according to the rules of the company had to re- ject them. What was the result? Many of them have been quite philosophical about it and sald "Well 1 seem to be able to walk, run, play games, or work as well as anyone else, 80 I.guess 1'll get along all right. Others, however, take the matter very much to heart, and begin to worry about it. Worry kills just as surely as any- thing else, and so these chaps be- gin to have indigestion and sleepless nights. They try to take all strain off the heart, by resting whenever possible. What js the result? That the heart muscle becomes weaker than before, because of this very lack of exercise. Your family doctor will tell you that a heart murmur, a leaky valve, never kills anyone just as long as the heart muscles keep strong enough to do its work. And the way to keep it strong is not by resting or trying to save it, but by walking, and other light forms of exercise. the image just as if the object were standing before him. Some musi fans can memorize an entire musi- cal selection by remembering each note as it stands sn the written page. An actor recently told a psycholo- gist that when he memorized a play he was so distinctly eye-minded that later, when acting his part, he could actually see the page and mentally turned each page as he finished it. If you are eye-minded, the only economical and satisfactory way to learn is through the eye, and it therefore pays to develop this par- ticular systém of study. Eye-mindednéss may be of two kinds--the concrete and the verbal type. If some ome should say the word "house," what do you see? Do you see a red brick building or do you see the letters written h-o-u-s-e? If you see the "house" itself, le. the building, you have concrete vis- foon, while if you see the word In- stead you have verbal vision. Many people think they are eye-mindéd when they are not. Here is a method to make a sure test: Draw a four- inch square, divide it into sixteen little blocks and then put a letter in each little square. Look at the squares for a minute or two. Then close your eyes. Can you reproduce from memory # the letters as they appear frontward, backward, diagonally or In any other scheme in the figure? If you can do this you are truly eye-minded. 'While the shape of the head does not necessarily prove anything conclusively, nevertheless, people who are strongly eye-minded usualy ly have a well-formed development evident in the back of the head. It is in this region of the brain that the seat of visual memory is sup- posed to be located. Next--Are You Ear-Minded? Tenth Anniversary Of the Great War Dec. 4th, 1914.
