Time was when human cuss-

affair.
Were you lazy, cowardly,
quarrelsome, conceited? Sensi-

SAYS Police Use Informers,
Despite Ukase Against Them

Editor, Times:
In spite Of the many blatant
statements coming from the OF.
flee of the liquor prosecutor at
Police Court, David Hart. infor.
nations are being filed and at
tempts made to make cases
based on information obtained
by police informers OF the
vilest character. No later than
the past week a number Of cases
appeared in the office of the
prosecutor at Police Court in
which the informer used not
only had served time in the
penitentiary. but had been con-
victed of the offense Of per.
jury, the very thing that would
not only destroy his credibility
but would tend to invalidate the
whole proceeding.
Why is there an attempt on
the part of this office to fool
the public by blowing hot and
cold out of the same mouth?
No decent jury would want to
convict anybody on the testi'
mony of such an informer.
Nevertheless, these cases were
filed in court and the defen-
dants therein were compelled to
either plead guilty" or demand
jury trials on the strength Of
warrants procured by the police
on the affidavits Of former peni.
tentiary birds, men to whom an
oath means nothing and who
stand ready, for the small sum
of $3.50, to swear away not only
the liberty but even the very
life of anyone who happens to
fall under their vicious eye.
If cases are to be made on
such testimony then no one in
the community is safe from
prosecution, whether they are
engaged in the liquor racket or
not. It makes no difference
and the innocent must be raid.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

It is an astonishing fact
when you come to think of it
that the human being is able
to keep his body heat at 98.6
degrees Fahrenheit no matter
what kind of climate he hap
pens to be in.
To maintain such an even
temperature preSupposes, OF
course, that he be in good
health. Occasionally, Of course,
even good health cannot re
sist extremes of heat and cold.
People have been known to
freeze to death and heat pros
tration is not so very uncom-
mon after all.
What controls the reactions
of the body to changes in tenn
perature is a most complicated
and marvellous nerve structure
known as the heat-regulating
mechanism in the lower part Of
the brain, known as the me-
dulla oblongata.
Heat within the body is pro-
duced by the chemical changes
taking place within the various
organs and tissues as part Of
their normal functioning, the
oxidation of food products, con.
traction of the muscles, etc.
Heat is also lost continu.
ously from the body. Eighty.
eight per cent is lost from the
skin surface. Nine per cent is
lost in the process of warming
the air breathed in. Three per
cent is lost by warming the ex.
creta Of the body.

A Scientific Truth
BIZ Archibald Henderson

Three years ago, when the
British Association for the Ad-
ancement of Science met in
Leeds, the Bishop of Ripon sug-
gested in a sermon that it
might be we'll for the world if
science were to take a scientific
holiday for 10 years. Although
at the time the suggestion was
regarded as semi-jocular, the
idea has since cropped up again
and again in public discussion.
To scientists generally the Sug-
geStion seemed fantastic, and
was greeted with a patronizing
smile. But is it so fantastic.
after all? Science has been and
continues to be a pacemaker
for the thought and action Of
the world. r.: the question
which naturally arises is: Hasn't
science forced the pace. Aren't
we being driven too fast for
comfort by that relentless
master, science?
In one respect, certainly,
public opinion and public action
might we'll call a halt upon the
steady progress Of science in
the production of death-deal-
ing weapons, lethal instru-
mentS, poison gases. We have
international conferences point
ing toward general reduction
and limitation of armaments.
These conferences, thus far,
have accomplished little in ac-
tual reduction. At least they
are putting a temporary stop
to competition. They point
along a highway which leads
toward peace.
Scientists might have inter.
national conferences designed
to study world problems, and
agree upon uniform programs
OF action in place of cut-throat
competition. Population prob.
