Man is a reasoning animal who forgets to reason when the situation most demands it. The trust and faith which the average person places in heresay statements regarding patent medicine advertisements, get~richâ€"qui'ck Specialists and others of their ilk, is one of the paradoxes of human intelligence. This latter paradox is suggested by government statis- tics showing that the diseases which cause the greatest amount of sickness rank relatively low as causes of death. Thus respiratory disorders are responsible for 60 per cent of the illness in the typical city, but only 20 per cent of the deaths. On the other hand, diseases of the heart and blood vessels cause only 2 per cent of the illness, but 24 per cent of the deaths. Traffic accidents, industrial accidents and the many other hazards the person in full health and vigor encoun- ters in the course of a day lend force to the argument that the sick bed with its protecting barriers of expert medical and nursing care is a relatively safe place to be. Being sick toâ€"day is a less serious thing than it was when medi- cine and surgery were in the experimental stage and the hospital death rate fluctuated between 60 and 90 per cent of all patients. Public health authorities and reputable physicians are performing a worth while service by their warnings of the dangers of quacks, patent medicines and get-rich-quick specialists. These warnings cannot be given too often nor too\loud1y. It was Oscar Wilde who once said “the only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it.” Its fault as a paradox is that long before it ever was put into words it was be- liexed by a majority of people. For that reason 'the follewing is more surprising: The best way to stave off death is to be sick. That, hOWever, is from another wildâ€"the abyss of nature. Of course, one must remember that all epigrams, and even nature’s, are tricks and half-truths. Then “they say,” no two words when applied to the heal- ing art do more damage. “They say” prescribes more med- icine than all the doctors in the country; and, incidentally, kills_in01’e people. Schools in Richmond Hill and throughout the district opened for the fall term on Tuesday and students after the long summer holiday are now settled down to the more serious business of securing an education. It is to be hoped the present day school generation will make the best use of the wonderful opportunities which have been provided for them. Keen attention to the opportunities offered in school days will repay rich dividends in the days that are to come when the boys and girls who are in school to-day step out into the rough and tumble of life. To teachers and scholars The Liberal extends the sincere wish for much happiness and success in the coming school year. Take these few extracts from the biography of men who won their halo of prestige in the earlier years of their life-time: Alexander conquered the world at 26. Napoleon made all Europe tremble at 2.5. Charlemagne was master of France and Germany at 26. , Cortez conquered Mexico at 26. Pitt was Premier of England at 26. Bolingbroke went to Parliament 3t 23, became Secretary _ V-__o , 'The world is young, and always will be. But new records are most often turned in by the younger men with fresh ideas of accomplishment. The young man, fresh from graduation at school, need have no worry even if the world is at pause. It is no crime to be young. The man who is young and full of energy and the man who stays young and retains his cheery outlook on life are the men to bank on in re- construction. “Manhood” means the vigorous prime of life which can only be retained to the allotted span by variety and through experience. Tarrying too long or getting in a rut does not make up for broad experience. a man With the vigor, energy and Vision of youth to lead the Way out. Mr. Hepburn who recently celebrated his thirty-seventh birthday is just the type of young man who appeals to the people toâ€"day 'who are sick and tired of the king of administration which has featured the Henry regime. Speaking at a political rally recently Premier Henry took occasion to refer to Mitchell F. Hepburn M.P. as my “juvâ€" enile” friend. The same type of small criticism was direct against Premier~elect Angus McDonald who as a young man occupied a position as leader of Nova Scotia Liberals very much like the position occupied in Ontario by Mr. Hepburn. The sweeping victory of liberalism in Nova Scotia under Mr. McDonald was a decisive answer to this kind of criticism. The people have no fear of a young man, in fact, in these difficult times are rather looking to of War at 26, and Premier of England at 36. Daniel Webster was without a peer at 30. Goethe was a literary giant at 24. Schiller was in the forefront of literature at 22. Burns wrote his best poetry at 24. Byron’s first work appeared at 19. Dickens brought out “Pickwick Papers" at 24. Raphael ravished the world at 20. Michaelangelo made stone to live at 24. Galileo’s great discovery was at 19. Newton was at his zenith when only 25. Edison harnessed lightning when only 25. Martin Luther shook the Vatican at 20. Calvin wrote his “Institutes” at 21. John Wesley was organizer of ‘Methodism at 35.

Pater- son, Agincourt. is being added a 100- year-old log cabin, in perfect state of preservation, that was cut from the Scarboro bush bv William Elliott, a native of Westerkirk, Dumfrieshire Scotlland, who came to Canada at the close of the 18th century. The house was built of pine logs hewn from trees which grew on his farm. They measured eight by twenty inch- es, thirty-seven feet long and twenty two feet long for the ends. Can’t we have another ten cent tournament before husking bees, are done? Mr. Patrick L. Larking of London, England, who studied under Sir John Lavery at the Royal Academy, Lon- d70n, also at Juliens Academy in Par- is is now painting portraits in Agin- court. He has just finished a por- trait of Miss Marjorie Latter, daugh- ter of Henry Latter, landscape paint- er and grand daughter of Henry Birks, Montreal, also one of Master Billy Paterson, son of Mr. Frank G. Paterson. Mr. Arthur Wood’s fine bank barn, one and a quarter mile north of Agincourt, was burnt to the ground on Tuesday afternoon. This season’s crop was lost, also 3 horses and 2 calves. A few implements were saved. The surest way for a man to get away from inferior \I‘J‘k is to show himself a. superior workman. The successful man relies upon his own merits. He does not seek special favours or concessions, nor try to win gov- ernment help for his industry, for he knows that work, courage and Vision, backed by quality, efficient merchan- dising and judicious advertising will lay the corner stone of many mansions. . Even our greater philosophers have adopted the opinions of some who have gone before them, and have in the light of new developments been able to elaborate the thoughts to the point of practicability. “Employ on the commercial side the best character and brains that money can buy; recruit from amongst the soundly educated; give them attractive prospects; and then educate and train them for the skilful conduct of your business.’ Thinking is not a diversion, yet it is the price one pays for success, and we are all gradually overcoming an averâ€" sion to intellectual labour by finding more enjoyment in it. “Make the fullest use of the help they can give you, but do your own thinking and your own work for yourself to the utmost of your capacity, power and courage. “Do not rely for your prosperity or your progress or your salvatlon upon any chamber of commerce, internationâ€" al or local. Thought in the early morning is clear because it has been clarified by physical rest. Hence the truism about early to bed and early to rise making a man healthy, weal- thy and wise. Sir Francis Goodenogh, chairman of the International Distribution Commission, which held its an- nual meeting in Vienna this year, emphasized the need for deep individual thought: The wise person will seek for a more solid foundation for his health condition than “they say.” When something goes wrong with his physical machinery he will consult a thoroughly competent physician. tised medicine in the ornate package will cure twenty difâ€" ferent diseases; “they say" that the widely advertised doc- tor can cure any disease in any stage. “They say” and “they say.” And millions of otherwise sensible men and women, without asking other proof, look up the sorceress, patent medicine or quack and spend their money to be cur- ed of a disease they probably were never afflicted with. WEEKLY NEWSY NOTES FROM THE AGINCOURT DISTRICT THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO DO YOUR OWN THINKING Selected It is, especially fitting that Mrs. T. A. Paterson, a great granddaughâ€" ter of David Thomson. pioneer Scar- boro settler, should become the owner of this historical cabin. She is deep- ly interested in Scarboro’s early his- tory, and has been collecting relics for over 15 years. Log by log she is having the cabin moved from its original site, now the farm of Guy Walton. She engaged George Woolhead, Agincourt, to take it apart and rebuild it in the bush close to her home here. Since Mr. Elliott’s time the fol- lowing lived in this log house: Mr. Thowthen till 1859, Daniel Johnston till 1864, Guy Walton to 1889, then William Haycraft to 1894, when Mr. Wlalton re-occupied the farm. The house has been vacant since 1894. For many years the century-old cabin was covered with clapboards and its historical connection forgot- ten. Recently when Mr. WaltOn commenced to demolish the building, he found sturdy pine timbers under the rickety boarding. The possibility of cutting the timbers for lumber was considered. Mr. Woolhead, assisted by his broâ€" thers, Percy‘and Sydney, made plans and measurments before the building was torn down. Each timber will be fitted into its; original position. On its new site the cabin will face south instead of east as formerly. Six rare chairs With seats woven from bullrush reeds gathered in the Don Valley and a rocking chair a century old will be there. The col- lection of china. will include two mugs and a plate that belonged to the builders of the log house and a large variety of chinaware used by the decendanvts of the pioneers. Scores of trinkets, ornaments and other bricâ€"aâ€"brac will be displayed. 01d iron kettles, wooden hay rakes a spinning wheel, clocks, kitchen utensils and other implements of the early settlers will find a typical place in this century-old log cabin home. Among other implements will be a barley rake made a century ago at Gormley and a hay fork carved from one piece of wood. Small triangle blocks are Wedng between the prongs. This fork belonged to the family of W. A. Kennedy. The original patching of the chinks was done Wit‘n mud. It will be completely furnished with: relics, some of which were brought to Canada from England by the pioneers of Scarboro. The bed will be a “tester-top” which was made by hand in Scarboro 137 years ago and used by the mother of Scar- boro, Mary Thomspn, wife of David Thomson. After the structure was built, the doors and windows were cut, auger holes having- been bored through the logs; to admit, a cross-cut saw. The joists were cut by what was known as a whip saw, the log having been hewn to ten inches in thickness, then raised up so that one man could stand under the log and another on top to operate the saw.
