Editorial Correspondence VICTORIA, B. C, August 17. No one up here seems to be expecting war. And yet if England declared war on Germany tomorrow, we doubt if anyone would be surprised. That's the temper of the place at least, as we see it, after visiting the two newspapers, and talking with various people along the way. What is itf a sort of fatalistic apathy, a kind of hard, weary cynicism. On the surface hoping for the best, far down beneath fearing the worst, but determined not to throw a fit, if the worst suddenly should drop like a thunderbolt from the sky. - Chatted with a private soldier sitting on a bench along the quai, a young chap who had enlisted because he couldn't find work. He wasn't in the world war, but his oldest brother was the latter enlisted when he was 15 and was captured by the Germans at Vimy ridge. It was hard to get anything out of the lad, he wasn't unpleasant, but he had the Anglo-Saxon aversion to talking with a stranger. But he did say he hoped, and all the lads in his outfit hoped there wouldn't be a war in Europe. "I erd enough about what war's like from my brother, and this one would be wurse. He says he wouldn't go for nobody, he. says he's done his bit, and if they tried to draft him ee would resist. He climes all the boys who been over there feels the same way 'bout it. I dunno I guess if Germany hopped on the home country he and everyone round here would pick up a gun and fight. But fightin' the Hun jest because of some other country like Spain or this Czecho-Slovakia, guess that would be different. Oh I haint stayin' up worrin' bout it, if there's trouble I'll do me bit, but I like it round IIERK and hope they keep on over THERE as they have for so long a time now growellin' a lot, but lettin' it go at that." . . . . The newspaper view is, whether there will be war in the near future or not, is ANYBODY'S guess. It has been expected for so long, and has been avoided so long, that the general feeling rs that somehow it will be avoided a considerable time LONGER. The city editor of one of the papers, he is a war veteran himself confirmed the report of the soldier boy's brother, namely that the Canadian veterans of the last war would be solidly against taking any part of self defense, "No more fighting in Europe ernment has practically pledged itself that in case iingland gets drawn into war, Canada will not go in, unless the repre sentatives of the people, in special session VOTE for it. As you know we are entirely independent, a self-governing unit, ana there is no legal obligation to take part in war even though the mother country becomes involved. But if Japan should get rambunctious and start something in the Pacific off this coast, we would hop to it so fast you couldn't see us for the smoke. And we would work hand in hand with your country, too. In fact I have a pretty strong feeling there is an under standing between Canada and the United States regarding trouble in the Pacific. Maybe not. But I do know England is building the strongest forts in the world right here on Vancouver Island, and in ease of trouble with Japan those forts would not only' protect Vancouver and Victoria, they would protect Seattle, and they were built that way, I know that too. The newspaper boys all wanted to know why it is that all the Americans they see up here, are against Roosevelt and have been for Beveral ynrs and yet "whenever they have an election of any sort down here Roosevelt We gave our explanation, familiar to readers of tins column, that the Americans who come of the property owning, proprietary class, and Roosevelt s sup port doesn't come from them. If they (the newspaper bids) would hop over to Sealtlo and talk to the longshoremen and taxi 'drivers, and attend a union labor mass meeting or two they, would find the answer to You moan, then, it's b class one of the editorial staff 1 Yes, that's it, that is the by and large and those who are generally satisfied with things as they are, arc against him, and those who aren't arc for him. As everyone knows, particularly in the present state of the world, the latter outnumber the former, approximately ten to one." Well that 'a the same situation over here of course. It's particularly true over in Alberta, whero Premier Eberhart is in control. Ho hasn't been able to put over his scheme of giving every one $30 a month, he has worked hard and is still fairer division of wealth, help the masses of his province, in every way he can.. About all he has accomplished to date has been to reduce tho price of money, he forced the banks to lower thoir interest charges, but he still claims if the people will stick to him he will bring them a sort of earthly Paradise like this man Townsend promises down your way. Well, I was over in Alberta a while back and I didn't find, a newspaper man who was for Eberhart, nor a banker, nor a business man but ho won tho lust election and 1 am betting on him to win the next one. And lie is entirely honest about it, just deluded that's all. The people are quick to sense that, his sincerity I mean. They haven't got what they were promised, but. they figure ut least the majority of them, that they would rather have a man in control they KNEW to be working FOR them even if he ean't deliver all he promised, than to take a chance on anyone else. I guess it's a problem in every democracy in creation today and I am not so sure it hasn't been, since the days of Homo and Greece."

THE MAN WITHOUT TEETH In the "vertlcle mile" running race up Pike's Peak road from Crystal Creek to the summit 13 miles distance, Just one mile higher than the start- lng point ten out of fifteen runnors who started were able to finish the race. The man who finished sev enth was 40 years old. Pew men of forty-flvs can run a mile on the level, alL much less up grade. Most men or women forty or sven thirty-five yesrs old would become completely wlndei and have to stop running be fore they ha4 covered one-half mile even at an easy Jog. But there was something still more remarkable about the achievement ot this man, for besides finishing the gruelling 12 '3 -mile uphill race It ap pears that he ran without teeth. Not that teeth are of rnuch use when one is running a race. This man appar ently regarded his teeth as a handi cap, for he removed them and left them In the keeping of a cop at the start of the race. When the man had crossed the finish line well ahead ot three other runners who carrlad their own teeth he was cheered by the spectators, and of course Invited by the broadcasters to say a few words to the radio audience. But the cop who had his teeth was far down the mountain somewhere. Must have been an embarrassing moment. If a man without teeth of his own could retain such marvellous physical efficiency or vlte. what a great cham pion he might have been had his nu trition and health been properly con trolled in his youth. ' Still, his performance speaks well Indeed for the dentor who. made and fitted the artificial teeth, for the man must have put his store teeth to good everyday use, else he could never have withstood such a strain. I hspa no dentifrice or brush man ufacturer will try to get the runner who won the race to tell the world how he brushes his teeth with so and so. No doubt the 45-year-old runner who committed himself so well formerly brushed his teeth with some highly recommended dentrlflco It does seem that the more faith one has In the efficacy of tooth brushing for the prevention of da cay, end the less thought or atten tion one gives the subject of nutri tion, the more likely one Is to suf fer from dental carles, cavities and the loss of teeth. Not because brush ing or the favorite dentrlfice does any harm, but merely because plac ing confidence In the efficacy of that rite tends to encourage the practice of Ignoring or neglecting nutrition. The loss of one or several teeth is not of great Importance, so far ai health Is concerned, provided one does not try to limp along without suitable dentures or artificial teeth to replace them. Bight here Is where too many Individuals nvike a serious mistake - they compromise with health by false economy, attempting to save a few dollars by having cheapjohn dentistry, mskeshlft den tures, poorly designed and poorly fit ted artificial teeth which they cannot use for the mastication of food. Ql'BSTIONS & ANSWERS Finns I) rink Milk There la less mystery In the out standing abilities of the Finns, says Sir Edward Mellanby, English nutri tionist, when It is remembered that the dally milk consumption per head of population Is three times as great In Finland as It Is in England. (Na tional Dairy Council) Answer There are now more than thousand milk bars In England. Ought to be fifty thousand such places In U.S.A. milk, cream, butter, cheese of all kinds are as beneficial to the health of Americans as they are to Finns. Alternative for Major Operation I have much reason to be thankfin to you. For six years I suffered with kind of neuritis In arm. Doctors said my tonsils-were badly Infected, but that I could not have them re moved on account of my chronic bronchitis. Then I saw your articlos about diathermy, wrote you, went to Is a restaurant In Second avenue known as The Palm, yet there Isnt a single palm In It. . . , There ara no banks on Bank street, and broo.-s aren't sold on Broome street, . But you can get fifths on Fifth avenue pints, quarts, fifths or any thing you want.

Brady, M P. the doctor you recommended, and my tonsils are cleaned up and so Is the neuritis or whatever it was. (Mrs. A. D.) Answer The doctors who told you you had to keep the Infected tonsils because your bronchitis made gener al anesthesia too great a risk were probably right about that, but they were incompetent in falling to in from you that diathermy extirpation of Infected tonsils Is a well estab lished alternative for the major oper ation of tonsillectomy especially n handicapped cases. It would do no harm to tell them I said so and I'd be willing to say so under oath in court, no matter how famous the "clinic" where the old-timers are em ployed. B. B. B. B. B.
