Civilization, and civilized coun- tries, to use an old expression, are “digging their graves with their teeth.” Modern foods and modern modes of living are fast undermin- ing not only the health of individ- uals but are as well working havoc with the generations to come. Ac- cording to _Sir_ Arbuthnot Lane, Bart., the food we eat today is what we are tomorrow, and nations of the past which have gone down and under owed their fall to wrong eating. Barbarian races that stuck to primitive menus conquered and ofttimes wiped out their so-called more modern brethren. The prim- itive races of today, according to this same authority, are almost entirely free of many of the dis- eases which afflict the peoples of civilized countries.

Modern housewives judge their breads and cakes by their lightness of color and appeal to the palate rather than by their health-giving attributes, and in order to satisfy customers, modern millers must grind white flour rather than health flour or lose their trade. Take for instance the present craze for health brans. Modern civilization is pay- ing exorbitant prices for this ar- ticle in different forms, put up in prettily pictured packages, when it should never have been milled from the wheat in the first place. Whole- wheat flour bread is taken today as a “tonic” by many people when it should be the mainstay at every meal. But we don’t want it. It doesn't tickle our palate, and if our taste be not satisfied, we refuse to eat it. Over-refined floor, the prepon- derance of pastry in our modern bills of fare and the turning of night into day, due to our modern lighting congeniengeg, may appeal tg'theioeye, the palate and the so- cial senses, but they work havoc and are proving disastrous to ra- cial health and strength. Modern civilization knows how to feed cattle, sheep and other stock, dogs, cats and other domestic animals to the best advantage, but falls down when it comes to feed- ing itself. PAGE 4. Primitive peOples, milling their grains in a primitive manner, are never troubled to any extent with catarrh, tonsilitis, adenoids, etc., and the two great diseases of civil- ization, indigestion and constipa- tion, are almost unknown among savages. Farmers today know that to get best results with their stock, a certain amount of “roughage” must be included in their feed. 80 it is with manâ€"really just an animal on a higher planeâ€"he, too, must have “roughage” in his food or suf- fer for it. But what’s the use. We will all refuse to eat anything but bread made from over-manipulated and pseudo-scientific flour, and continue to gorge ourselves on rich pastry. We know it isn’t right, but what tastes good must be good, and we let it go at that. A There are none so blind as those who will not see, but had civiliza- tion stuck to the flours and food of forty years ago, it would have been more rugged and with less ailments than at present. And you can’t blame the millers. Like oth- er businesses, they must give the public what they demand or some- body else will. Whether or not Mars is inhabit- ed was a topic under discussion in Toronto Saturday. Still, this is not as important a subject to most of us as where we are going to get our next load of coal.

Ont., and published in The Globe. regarding Premier Fergu- son's stand on the O. '1'.

In renewing my subscnptnon for 1926, l_would gsk you to_all_o_w me vvâ€"vv' a short space in your valuable pa- pare. When I read over the corres- pondence which appears in The Chronicle every week, it makes me feel so pleased that I thought per- haps the people of Durham might like to hear from our town in con- nection with what is going on at present. ‘ ___ I c A I. I.-- A- -v' â€"' We have had one of the finest winters we have enjoyed in the past seventeen years and so far have had only three inches of snow with no dri ts whatever up to date of writ- ing. The railways in this section are certainly having a snap this season,and our highways have been a pleasure to drive on ever since the first of November, with cars, trucks, bicycles, buggies wagons, sleighs and cutters all being used. There have been no storms of any kind so far this season, and the wea- ther today is _ver_y. fine. Last year the Tisdale section en-g joyed excellent creps, the oats sur- passing all former records in qual- ity and quantity. while the barley, rye, flax, wheat and vegetables were a pleasure to harvest, though the wheat ot slightly damaged in July. Our so 0015. too. are running “full speed" under one superintendent a-.d nine lady teachers. On account of this country being cleared up so fast, the wild animals hit the trail about two years ago and have not returned since, so there will be a deliciency of that kind of life around here from now on. Hon. Dr. Jamieson of Durham. the Provincial member for South Grey. passed through Tisdale about two weeks ago. but I did not meet. him. I certainly would have enjoyed see- ing him and had the pleasure of congratulating him and Mrs. Jamie- son upon being able to enjoy an- other new_ year. ‘7’- 5“; v v"â€" In conclusion; I would ask you to extoml my best, WlShOS and con- gratulatlons to the people of Dur- ham and vicinity.

When I arrived on December 18 by Japanese steam- er from Kobe, I got into the thick of the trouble. There had been no trains in or out of the city since December 6. All cables were cut~ but there was still the ar wire- less and the boats which rought in sup lies of food. For days, the battle ad kept up with heavy gun bombardment a few miles from this city.
