EXERCISE IN WINTER During the winter months, there is, in our country, more illness than there is during the other seasons of the year. There are several factors which contribute to this increase. One of the chief of these, and one whose correction lies within the con- trol of each individual, is the giving up of exercise or play when the cold weather comes. A certain amount of physical ex- ercise is necessary to keep the body fit Whether it is taken in the form of setting-up exercises or in play, or, again, simply as part of the daily routine of life, such as by walking to and from work. Most people, during the warmer months of the year, do secure a considerable a- mouht of exercise, because they take part in some form of outdoar life which necessitates the use of their big muscles. Unfortunately, many people, once the cold weather comes, lead an indoor life and seldom bring the big muscles of their body into play. In addition, they continue to eat as much if not more than they did when they were active; they also starve themselves of fresh air, and live and work, most of the time, in an overheated atmosphere which, in' itself, is debilitating. Questions concerning Health, adâ€" dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter. we shall be more healthy and there will be less sickness. It may be im- possible to continue the same exer- cise in winter as in summer, but there are many ways in which the necessary amount of exercise can be secured in Winter. The result of this abuse of the bodyâ€"for it may be fairly called abuseâ€"is that there is a loss of tone; :1 state of comparative unfitneSS de- velops, with the result that there is more ill-health and more actual disease than during the months when the body is given reasonable care. Cold weather itself is not responsible for disease; in fact, there is much to be said for the stimulating effect of cold fresh air. The illnesses that come with Winter are the penalty of our neglect of our own bodieS. Just as soon as we put into practice what We know about exercise and fresh air, and about living and working in rooms that are not overheated, THURSDAY, JANUARY 13th, 1938. SHEPPARD & GILL LUMBER CO.

But if the readers have found ’these articles of some interest, we ; are satisfied and shall feel that love’s ‘labours have not been lost. We 1 should, however, be glad! to hear di- rectly from editors or readers wheth- er they wish us to continue these dissertations or not. If the editors do not wish to use them or the read- ers to read --them, we shall gladly turn to some more remunerative form of enterprise. But if they'have found them stimulating- or even in- teresting, they might communicate directly with the reviewer whose adâ€" dress is 37 Bloor Street West, Tor- lonto.‘ Criticisms and suggestiOns ' would also be appreciated.

A Personal Word ‘ We are entering the third and last month of this experiment of off- erinug in the columns of the papers associated in the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association these week- ly reviews of some or the signifiâ€" cant new books dealing with inter- national and social problems. We have as yet little reas0n to knew how widely these revieWS have been- used by the member-newspapers, or whether they have beem ravourably received or not. Some editors have written with gratifying enthusiasm; others have demurred on the ground that it seemed like free advertising for the publishers. But it w0uld have been strange if we had reviewed these books and» kept the names of the publishers a dark secret! We have also been often esoteric in our choice of books, deliberately selecting books for mention which, we felt sure, would not probably, be reviewed in other journals and because they fitt- ed into the exposition of the general situation we were treating, although we knew perfectly well that few of the books would ever be sold just because we mentioned them. A re- viewer can take his job seriOusly or he can act primarily as a sales-agent. We have tried to take our job seriâ€" ously. So much by way of defence! Why' Edward “'ent The Duke of WindSOr may well pray to be saved from his friends. An Englishman, a former Lox-don staff correspondent of the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, has written a book for publication in the United .Statesâ€"he could- [not publish it in Englandâ€"in the hope‘that the information .he offers may find its way back to his own country. He comes to the defence of ex‘â€"King Ed- waryd‘ VIII against the combination of clique and church which seems to have forced the abdication, and he gets quite nasty about the whole situation at times. Frankly, we see no reason! for raking- over the episode of December, 1936, once again, aml We have promised ourselves that this will be the last Edward book we shall read for some time. Indeed, there; are elements in tho book which are perilously close to sedition, and which will not help the cause of the Wind- BOOKS THAT MATTER a realignment of Europe and creat- ed» the Triple Entente contrary to the existing British policy, so his grandson was opposed to the policy of his government and sought to establish better relations with Gen:- tral European countries. In this, he gave the clique that supported Eden an opportunity to force him out. This may or may not have been an important factor in the case, but we do not need to dig so deep in: political inurigue to uncover facts which lie on the surface. And if so, then there is only one answer need- ful. The policy of the British govern- ,ment at this time was so desperately ‘tortuous and consisted in such dex- terous efforts to ride several horses {at once that it seems almost incredâ€" ible that they should be opposed to any monarch who tried to make friends with any; country! We dare say that Edward VIII was trying to conciliate certain European countries Which had grown disti'ustful of Brit- ain, and‘we gravely doubt if such a step w0uld have been criticized by 1 his ministers. What might have hapâ€" !pened had his abdication not have _been necessary, no one can tell and ithe less said about it, the better. But we do not believe that Edward VIII was so foolish as to believe that l he could defy his ministers and estab- llish a dictatorial rule on the basis of ihisi own personal hold on the popular Iinmg‘lmtiun. He probably did not intend to be a mere figurehead, he -Germanic‘us is resolutely opposed to “the constant stream of propa- ganda in favour of credits for Ger- many”. He says that “the notion that English money would stem the tide of Communism from flowing in- to Germany is inherenetly ridiculous. iEng‘lish money is far more likely to be used for the creation of poison gas and other delectable munitions”. iFrom the standpoint of the investor, “Germany is a bottomless pit”; it is difficult for most Eninshmen to dis- cover any fundamental differences ‘between the “principles” of Commun- ism and Naziisvm”; and he concludes that Herr Hitler must reap what he has shown and his nuisance value’ must be discounted in his own dis- a rare elevation of nobility and sinâ€" cerity, and to him no disservice by attacking those who had equal re- sponsibilities to fulfil and who ful- filled them. We ignore Mr. Wells’ attack on the church because his quotations from the book on “Marriage” by Leon Blumn for the translation of which into English he is responsible, and his geingeral discussion on mar- riage reveal a man whose standards of marriage are, it must be said, somewhat ‘fluid’, and because his views on the relation Of religion to the state are, despite their vehem- emce, not characterized by any re- markable spiritual insight into the meaning of ‘culture’. We mention only. his defence ofi the former King against the charge 3 that he was a fascist. This charge ' is, in our opinion, of no importance whatever and might never have gain- ed headway had it not been for the , behaviour of men like Sir Oswald} Moseley who can always be trusted i to do the wrong thing, and the viru- lence of certain English journalists who were desperately opposed to the “fatuous” foreign policies of Anthony Eden and in favour of a rapproche- ment with Germany and Italy. Mr.‘ Wells implies that just as Edward VII, the soâ€"called Peacemaker, sought 1‘6 5‘ Germany: The Last Four Years . THE BANKER in its issue of Febâ€" ruary, 1937, published an analysis of the economic and social situation in Germany by one who calls him Germanicus. He claimed that Ger- many had not achieved what she claimed to have achieved, and ‘that the internal condition of the country, especially her agricultural produc- tion, was menacing. He also sub- mitted the alleged budgets of Herr Schtacht to some‘ very incisive ana- lysis. The publication led to a re- buttal hour the German Institute of Business Research, and now in this volume we have the original ana- lysis, the rebuttal of the German In- stitute, and' the counter-reply of Gerâ€" manicus. It is all very stimulating, especially to an economist, and the present uncertain status of Herr Schacht lends some weight to the strictures of Germanicus. tio, SBI‘ 11C riousl a nature pact for n' that h‘ usical th OHS ient hew that and but THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO ily ‘arlia sought 1: he m as need ;tren g ment. 11111 ‘asrcis his: xst not royal render have 1 of The popular did not ead, he 11 tasks? 31' them accusa knl Bri D nonâ€" taken awn tish Sunday the la‘ber Monday : Pa sprang 1 on Ma ’that I think from he way she lookt " at him she diddent like so good.
