ENLGAND's SAD PLIGHT

POOR England must be in a sad
plight if the evidence of Sir James
Crichton-Browne can be believed. In
a recent address he deserted the
spread Of vegetarianism and said it
had gone SO far in his country as to
become more of fad of deprivation.
Warming up to mis- address he hint
ed that semi-starvation' and physical
and mental degeneracy existed in
England because Of bad and insuffici-
ent food
$50 fierce in some quarters is the
propaganda Of dietetic asceticism,"
he said, that. in dread Of being sus.
pected of gluttony, we can only in
dulge healthy appetite in secret"
England's plight must be sad, in
deed, when the Britisher approaches
the state of semi-starvation rather
than defy some of the prevailing food
fads. But there is relief in sight If
the advice Of Sir James Is followed,
for he pluckly charged his hearers to
eat all they want whenever they want
it, even If they are changed with be-
ing gluttons.

BRAVERY VS.. COMMON SENSE

rrea 3. Ballou, cashier of a Water
100 manufacturing plant, was held up
Mhlls carving a large sum of money
e. one OF the outlying shops of his
firm in paying off the hands WHEN
stopped at lonely place in the road
by two masked men he was told to
throw up your hands and don't say
a word or we'll blow your head Off"
ballou was looking into muzzle of
two guns, but he did not hold up his
hands. Instead he cut mis- horse with
the whip and as he escaped received
what may prove to be fatal wound.
Ballou demonstrated his bravery
and proved his trustworthines when
ne turned the large sum of money ne
was carrying over to another employe.
But did he display common sense?
And. after all, is there not more of
bravado than bravery in an attempt
10 resist an attack by armed desper-
ADDE'S?
