sanest bit Of comment on 1t we have seen comes from
Z. W. Beatty, president OF the Canadian Pacific rail-
way. He says:
1T Is not . penetration to which Canadians object.
because it only helps to accomplish that which they all
desire to see accomplished, namely, safe, sound and
orderly Development Of its resources and expansion Of its
industries. We cannot very wen object II you share our
opinion Of Canadas future, and - We are ourselves con-
tributing to II in . larger measure from year to year we

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Wrinkles

Question: A. M. Y. asks: do you
recommend the use of q vibrator for
wrinkles and saggy muscles on the
face and neck? If so, how should 1t
be used and how often?"
Answer: I have prepared some spe.
ctal articles on how to remove
wrinkles which I will be glad to send
you II you will send me your name
and address. The electric vibrator is
often helpful in restoring a good cir
culation to the muscles and skin of
the face and neck. # you have on
OF these vibrators I would advise you
to take q few treatments from q
beauty specialist who can show you
how to use the vibrator for home
treatments.
Question: M. G. Il. asks: "Wlll vol
please tell me II bananas are fatten-
Ing? VIII they cause indigestion?"
Answer: Bananas are very high in
calortc value and therefore may be
said to be fattening. Bananas If used
with the proper food combinations
should not cause Indigestion.
Thin Tooth Enamel
Question: A. G.. w. asks: "What
causes the enamel of the teeth to be-
come thin, and is there any special
class OF foods which will restore the
enamel Of the teeth?"
Answer: The absence Of vitamim q
IN the diet and also q deficiency Of
silicon Is believed at the present time
to be the cause Of thin tooth enamel
ana therefore an important cause
which permits the teeth to decay
more easily. Most Of the uon.starchy
vegetables contain q large amount Of
silica and also Of the vitamin Q. All
raw vegetables are rich In tooth
building material.

Murder at 16

AxXNXO y OV AZ
The officials OF . certain middle-western city are in
something Of a ~quandary these days. They have caught
and convicted q murderer. but they do not know what
to do with him.
The murderers name happens to be Robert Ross. He
killed a gasoline station attendant during a hold up and
pleaded guilty when taken In custody. He is Just 10 years
old: and it is his youth that Is causing all the trouble.
Under the law-or under one section Of 1t. at any rate
he must be confined in the state reformatory, where
all criminals under 81 are supposed to be lodged. But
under another section Of the law, which rules that no
murderer can be sent to the reformatory, he must go TO
the penitentiary. Since he cannot obey both sections Of
the law. he is at present waiting. in the county jail. for
the officials to learn what they are to do with him.
It's all very pulling. and the authorities have our
sympathy. Eut 1t seems odd that 1t should be this red
tape conflict in laws which has them guessing and not
the simple, appalling fact that they have on their hands,
in the first place, a confessed murderer who Is only l6.
That fact, when you stop to think about 1t. Is rather
disturbing. There Is enough in 1t to keep our best social
research workers busy for quite a while.
One need not 60 all the way with the In
order to see. in the mere fact Of this young ~culprit's e-
istencc, a damaging indictment Of the kind Of civtiza-
ton we have put together for ourselves. It may be. Of
course. that young Robert Ross had more than his share
Of original sin In his makeup: yet even the most con-
servative Judge must admit that the fault cannot be
altogether his.
Somewhere, In the childhood and adolescence which his
middle western city forced upon him, there must have
been forces over which he had no c~ontrol-forces that
pushed him along a path that ended. at the age Of IL. in
murder.
There isn't any use in getting sentimental about 1t,
Of course. His life has gone to pot. irretrievably. and
that's that. Life isn't sacred In this country. It's cheap.
We kill 10000 people q year with our automobiles and It
never worries US. The fate Of one more. or less. product
Of our metropolitan back-alleys won't make US lose
much sleep.
But Rober. RoS, after all. is q SYMBOL; q symbol Of the
sort Of thing that the modern American city turns out.
A murderer at IS! There is q problem there that viii
not be solved In q hurry.

plan to use q short fast Of five to ten
days, then use q well balanced diet
for about q month in which the
starches and sugars are practically
excluded, and then take another short
fast, repeating this regime for an al.
most indefinite period until there
seems to be an Improvement. Moder-
ate exercise such a walking should
be regularly included, not too stren-
uous at first, but gradually increased
with time. The use Of cold showers
and gentle massage is also Of great
benefit in improving the circulation.
I have seen many patients. who

this regime. They frequently appear
and feel much younger, which is quite
natural. for II the saying is true that

The Mail Pilots Courage

AN 49, -
Consider the things that keep life from being dull for
the air mail pilot.
Pilot H. A. SEWERS flies the night mail from Cleveland
to Pittsburgh. The other night he was flying over war
rem, O, when ice began to form on the wings Of his plane
weighing him down badly. Then came . hard snowstorm
His plane became unmanageable at = 2.0oo-foot altitude
and went into q spin.
SEWERS wore . parachute, and he tried to Jump. The
centrifugal force Of the spin kept hin from doing so.
He and the helpless plane shot down together. Finally,
200 feet from the ground, he got out. His parachute
barely opened. He landed with . thud and was knocked
unconscious. but was not seriously hurt.
Thrilling? Undoubtedly: but every air mail pilot Is
always prepared to face something similar. You might

Autos and Railroads

Although the automobile has hit the railroad 4 severe
blow by taking away q big slice OF the passenger traffic,
1t has furnished enough additional freight traffic to
offset 1t.
Figures released by the Alexander Hamilton Institute
show that the number Of miles Travelled by passengers on
Class One railroads In the United States dropped from
3sOo0.0oo.Ooo In 1923 to 81, ooo.Ooo.Oo In 1923. while pas.
senger revenue fell In the same period from g. 1000
to $S74l0 100000
On the other hand revenues from freight, mail and
express have risen, so that total operating revenues for
the railroads in 1870 were Se,Ss2.oooyooo As compared
with Il, SEQ 100000 In 1923.
Just another illustration Of the old truth; the rail-
roads need not fear any form Of competition II 1t serves
