Editorial Comment
Winnipeg View of St. Lawrence Canal
(Winnine0 Trihunel

The st. Lawrence seaway is more than Can
adam question. The American people, at least
forty million of them, have quite as deep an in
terest in every aspect of it as the people of
Canada.
It is more than Is years since the Canadian
government first approached the Washing
ton authorities in connection with the improve
ment OF the st. Lawrence. The American gov
eminent was lukewarm in the beginning. Grad
ually, as the significance of the deep water
channel on the st. Lawrence caught the imag-
ination of the people of the states bordering
on the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes, a
strong sentiment grew up in favor of it. AL
most half the people of the United States be-
gan to see in deep water channel on the St.
Lawrence q new and highly attractive channel
OF transportation.
1t represented to them the freedom of ocean
shipment as against railways. Hydro-electric
power concerned the United States little if at
all. 1t was, at most a question concerning New
York state. For the rest it was project to
appeal to the imagination-the opening up, by
human endeavor of an immense area of land
locked water to all the shipping of the seven
seas.
The advisory committee on the project. SEEM
ingly forgetful of the national and international
aspects OF the project referred to it, has recon-
mended proceeding with the scheme on the
basis OF first developing by private enterprise
the maximum power possibilities on that section
Of the st. Lawrence lying altogether within
Quebec, and later taking up the deep water
canal from the other point of view.
II the ST. Lawrence project is advantageous
to Canada, as the report of the advisory COM
mlttee admits, what justification can be offered
Tor refusing to proceed with it as a complete
plan? What justification can be offered for
letting down the United States, with which
country our good faith is surely involved?

INCREASING THE CIRCULATION
Oxygen is taken into the body
through the lungs, and food through
the alimentary canal. The blood
takes up the food elements and the
oxygen and distributes them to
every cell Of the body, returning
poisonous wastes to be eliminated
through the lungs, kidneys, skin, and
bowels.
The blood also regulates the TEN.
perature Of the body, and distributes
the internal heat Of the organs to the
outer part of the body where there is
not enough heat. The muscles play
an important part in this circulation
through the blood and Emphatic YES
sells.
There are more than five hun.
dred muscles in the body, and these
comprise more than two-fifths of the
body's weight. The heart, itself, is
composed almost entirely of muscu-
lar tissue and muscular fibres. They
are also important parts of the struc-
lures Of the walls of the arteries and
veins.
Without muscular action in the
body there could be no circulation OF
the blood.
In all circulatory disturbances,
whether it be functional disorders Of
the heart, hardening Of the arteries
varicose veins, or just sluggish cir
culation, the treatment Of any OF
these disorders is influenced more by
the proper kind of physical culture
exercising than by any other single
factor. Either light or heavier exer-
cises as the case demands will i'm
mediately increase the flow Of flu
ids in the body, and such muscular
activity will always produce perm
anent effect through the increased
strengthening of the muscle fibres
all over the body.
Everyone knows that any kind OF
exercise increases the general circu-
lation, that the heart beats faster
and respiration is increased. While
occasional light exercise may dc
some good and no harm, a sudden
ambitious spell of violent exercise
usually does great deal more harm
than good.

Publicity and Crime

Newspapers are often blamed for printing
100 much crime news. They are even accused
If fomenting crime through some suggestive
sorce of such news upon those Of weak and sub
FORMAL minds. The Tribune believes publicity
IF crime aids more in it's detection than in
promoting acts against the peace, health and
,afety of community.
There are rules of propriety that all sef-re-
specting newspapers observe. Hardly a day
passes but some salacious item is consigned to
the waste basket in the editorial offices Of the
leading newspapers; reams of morbid features
submitted to editors for purchase meet the
same treatment daily.
Dress is probably the cleanest of all. Gener-
ally speaking, policies adopted in most ed-
torial offices are constructive, not destructive,
out newspapers have but two commodities to
sell-white space to the advertisers and news
to the readers.
A newspaper is not run primarily to direct,
reform or dictate the tastes or habits of its
prints daily the slogan, "All the news that is
fit to print" That general restriction gov
erns most daily newspapers in America today.
Critics who deplore the printing Of crime news
and items touching on domestic relations, for
get the columns and columns of news devoted
churches, science and to the more normal
Kings that motivate community.
Suppression of crime news might actually
danger society. The publicity in the Hick-
dian case undoubtedly aided in the capture of
the murderer. Public opinion, shocked by the
terrible nature of the crime, aroused every
agency Of law and order. 1t is doubtful
whether the actual printing of the details pro-
volked crimes of like nature in other sections
of the country. Crimes of the type commit
ted by Hickman are not unusual in the annals
of police circles. The manner in which Hick-
man accomplished his foul deed was unusual
and naturally attracted great attention in the
newspapers of the United States and Canada.
1T was not to be wondered that some weaklins
caught in crime sought to blame the Hick-
man episode for his murderous act.
Suppression of crime news will not prevent
lcrime or lessen it, but such policy might fur
|nish very nice cover for the protection of
acriminals.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Although
Herbert Hoover will not personally

The best part of the Hoover-Willis
struggle in Ohio is that, as often
happens in this sort Of fight, the
people of the state will have excel

The reason the Ohio primary cam

because any politicians are deeply
in love with either Hoover or Willis.
The struggle for control Of the state
is the dominant factor.
The Willis machine is fighting
with its back to the wall. The COM
bination of deserters from its ranks,
Republicans who have been on the
outside Of things and want to get in
and the prestige Of Hoover, presents
a challenge which seriously threatens
its safety.
On the other hand, the Hoover

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Curious writes: "Will
you please explain how bacteria can
produce diseases if the fault is really
as you say: caused by our bad habits
Of living?"
Answer: Bacteria are microscopic
fungous growths and are really Of
vegetable origin. They grow in much
1.-The same way as yeast cells or mold.
They increase in numbers by divid.
ing so that they actually multiply
by dividing" Bacteria cannot grow
except in suitable soil, and the per-
son with bad habits provides this
soil, usually on some Of the mucous
membranes, such as in the nose and
throat. Bacteria grow rapidly and
often produce poisons of their own,
some being more violent than 9TH
ers. There are good bacteria and bad
ones, but each must have suitable soil
for growth. Bad habits cultivate the
growth of the injurious bacteria,
while good habits promote the
growth of friendly bacteria.
| Question: Mrs. E. writes: my
husband is troubled with eczema. He
always eats oatmeal for his break
fast, and have heard that it is bad
for eczema. Should he stop eating
oatmeal?"
Answer: Those troubled with
eczema should avoid all starches and
sugars until the tendency to such
skin eruptions is entirely overcome.
Question: Annie b. writes: "For
