IMPORTING OUR THINKERS
Europeans still labor under the
impression that the people of the
United States are unable to think for
themselves on international issues.
Since the league issue failed with the
defeat of President Wilson, we have
been visited almost continuously by
some propagandist of the Allied na
il ions, who have pointed out how happy
this country should be to be allowed
to join the warring factions of Europe
provided, of course, we pay our share
of the freight.
The United States was not only the
first country to stabilize itself follow,
ing the war, but it also helped sta-j
bi’ize most of the European coun
tries, by pouring supplies and money ,
into the devastated districts. Had
the nations helped used these re-!
sources to develop their countries and
take care of their inhabitants, all
would have been well, but this help
was used to build up a war chest for
the purpose of grabbing smaller na
tions during the chaos existing, and
as a consequence, their peoples are
in a worse condition than ever, and
their eyes turn longingly to the im
mense sums in the treasury of the
United States.
Meanwhile the nations that seem
ingly cannot meet their own situations \
are finding tf«re to tell us how to
conduct our affairs. European propa
gandists are given a reception here
that almost turn their heads, but we
get no reports of Americans being
cheered in England, France or else
where for enlightening those coun
tdies on their inherent weaknesses.
We may be filled with conceit, but re
gardless of that we have not reached
a point where we want to hire inter
national thinkers from abroad.
HOOVER is advocating a boycott
on sugar to bring the price down. We
remember a boycott of a few years
ago to save sugar for the “boys in
the trenches.” Did they get it? They
did! In the neck! This one would
probably turn out the same way.

THE OUTDOORS AS A HEALTH
BUILDER
(A Prize-Winning Essay on Health, l>\
Miss Lucille Byrne.)
Ages ago. in the Caveman days, peo
ple were outdoors all the time. They
lived In caves; what cooking they did
was done in the open and they were
the strongest and healthiest people the
world has ever known. We are now
more advanced in our methods and
style, perhaps, but the caveman’s
health and strength far excelled ours.
That we are physically below par was
shown during the late war when many
of the men were refused enlistment
because of their numerous body de
fects. They could have prevented this
by giving more time to outdoor exer
cises. The knowledge of this fact has
led to the introduction of outdoor ath
letics in schools all over the nation.
The Caveman had to be strong and
have a belligerent attitude towards
everyone in order to ward off unex
pected blows dealt by his enemies.
Poor health is one of the most dread
ed foes we have to meet and it is a
good idea for everyone to be prepared
to grapple with and conquer this un
merciful antagonist before he gets a
foothold. The old saying, <‘An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure,” is very good advice and the best
way to cure a disease is to prevent it.
We can do this only by building up a
resistance so as to be able to throw
off any disease that may attack us.
Some will say, ‘‘Oh. if you are going
to have poor health you are going to
have it,” or "we are too far gone to
be helped now.” Others have fought
against the demon of poor health and
won out, why can’t everyone. They
can, if they will but try. Doris Dos

cher tells In the Physical Culture
Magazine how she made a winning
fight. When a child her shoulders
were rounded, her posture very un
gainly and her health correspondingly
poor, but she worked herself into be
ing one of the most perfectly shaped
women of the world—all through ex
ercises—and she has been a kind phil
anthropist with her exercises which
any man, woman or child can easily
follow if they try. Miss Droscher is
but one of the many who through
tireless efforts and natural methods
have conquered the physical disabili
ties which were once though invin-i
cible.
John Burroughs, the naturalist, has
lived out-of-doors since childhood. He
says no matter how much work a man
or woman has, he or she can find time
to get into the great outdoors which
is so beneficial to the health and indi.
rectly to our work. A man who does
office wrork or any other work which
keeps him indoors can at least have a
sleeping porch and make the most ol
Nature’s priceless gift, fresh air. Pure
nocturnal air is one of the greatest
assets in health building. When peo
pple acquire the habit of sleeping out
doors, it soon follows that the out
doors appeals to them more and more
and they plan to have their meals in
the open air and to be outdoors as
much as possible during their waking
hours.
People are not beginning to sleep
and eat in the open, but are doing a
thing which once would have been
thought a dangerous experiment. They
are curing the sick out-of-doors. The
old fashioned idea of wrapping a per
son up from head to foot and keeping
him guarded from every breath of
cool, fresh air, when he is sick is be
ing discarded. Some of course, still
do it to a certain extent, but they will
soon be modernized and give the sick
a chance to be cured by the air.
Country children used to be health
ier than those who lived in the city,
but since the introduction of parks in
cities, the children of the city have
improved^ greatly, for the reason that
they spend more of their time out-of
doors.
Everyone knows that a person of
itinerant habits is usually very heal
thy. Also, any one who does much
garden work, or spend a great deal of
his time in outdoor spirts is always
well.
Tennis, golf, cricket, swimming,
baseball and open air dancing are
great health builders and are becom
ing more universally popular.
If the people of (today will devote at
least a part of their spare time to out
door athletics they will build up a
strength equal to that of the old-time
Caveman.
SEVEN STEAMERS IN PORT
Seven steamers were in port yes
terday, giving the waterfront a lively
appearance. They were the "V ictoria,
the Oduna, the Starr, the Algonquin,
ithe Zapora, and the Kingfisher.
