OId-Tin1e Press Censor
of Reacfionary Mind

The first Englishman of any distinc-
tion to take up journalism as pro-
fession was Sir Roger I'Estrange, who
died 221 years ago.
He was an ardent pamphleteer on
the epoch of the Restoration, and in
1862 was made surveyor of the
press" the censor of all books and
pamphlets and the editor of a mo-
nopolistic newspaper, called the In
telligencer.
The reactionaries and die-hards of
today would certainly welcome Sir
Roger with open arms, for he wrote
that the publication of any but the
most carefully edited news ''makes
the multitude too familiar with the
actions and counse1s of their superb
ors, too pragmatical and censorious,
and gives them not only wish, but
kind of colorado light and license
to the meddling with the government"
He failed miserably in his attempt
to stamp out the freedom of the press
or its early ideal-and when de-
prived Of his monopoly, he himself
turned to the publication of an un-
official "catchpenny" sheet, called the
Observer.-Chicago Journal.

Food for Thought

Three meals a day, or possibly even
two, are all that brain worker should
indulge in. according to Mr.. Charles
E. Hecht, secretary of the British
Food Education society.
Mr. Hecht delivered a lecture on the
diet Of educationists recently, in which
he said that the commonest error Of
the individual teacher was indulgence
in ''those denominations, sweet and
sloppy milk puddings," and in bread
and milk Milk was food for babies
and not for men.
One point Mr.. Hecht emphasized.
He said that a man who was working
specially hard should take less food
rather than more, and that If he were
overtired it might be advisable to skip
a meal.
