John Keble. MANY CHILDREN DIE IN TRAFFIC PERILS The slaughter of children in traffic in California is frightful. Seventeen children under the age of 15, on the average, are killed monthly in California by automobiles. During the first eight months of this calendar year 136 children were killed in traffic. In the same period, the total number of deaths in traffic, in the state, was 853. Reckless driving accounts for the startling number of children slain. It doubtless is true that parents are to blame, in some instances, in permitting children of tender age to go unattended on the streets and highways—or to play on thoroughfares where there is much traffic. Many a child has perished unnecessarily because of this laxity on the part of parents. This, however, does not excuse careless driving. The great majority of drivers, of course, are careful. It is the reckless minority that creates the menace. Against this peril to children and to adults all the restraining power of legal authority and rigorous regulation must be exercised.

It is increasing hugely in produced riches. It is on the threshold of even greater development. CALLING NAMES One of the easiest things to do, albeit the most childish, is to call names. It is so much simpler to let passion and prejudice hold sway rather than reason, so much easier to malign your opponent than to disprove his argument, so much less trouble to impute base motives to him than to contradict his facts. The man who is quick to descend, in an argument, to vituperation and to questioning the motives of one who does not agree with him, is not thinking in terms of facts and principles. Personal interest is uppermost. In this connection an exchange says, "The most difficult thing to do is to think. If anyone should doubt it, let him try it some time. Our fears, our hopes, our avarice, our ingrained prejudices, our hatreds determine our opinions and convictions more often than our reason." Make the Golden Rule the common rule of life. Let it not rust from disuse. There is no politics in heaven. Then what becomes of the politicians? The closer one lives to Nature the greater measure of health and happiness one has. 4 TRIP DAILY To meet the demands of our Anaheim patrons we have arranged for a four trip daily freight schedule between Anaheim and Los Angeles.

ABE MARTIN It happened in the old Metropole hotel, Dublin, which was blown up in the Easter rebellion. W. B. Yeats, the poet, a frequenter of the hotel, walked in one dreary morning and sat down at a table. The waiter approached several times, but failed to attract the poet's attention, he being in a deep reverie. Finally, Yeats awoke. "Waiter, bring me my bill," he called. "But you haven't had anything, Mr. Yeats," said the waiter. "That's extraordinary," replied Yeats. "I feel full. Anyhow, here's a tip. Say when." Yeats thereupon pulled out a handful of change and dropped coins into the waiter's hand, stopping only when that worthy said "When."

Smith does not dispute ancestors' the palm of which they may or may not superiors, but the perience in which it is they can be our superior. "We cannot of course posed to maintain that tors wanted wisdom, or were necessarily mistaken institutions, because that of information were more than ours. But we do maintain that when we pedient to change anything our ancestors have en are the experienced person not they." Tradition is a great block in inan's progress as beginning to move far cause it is quitting the old practice of worshiping tors. It no longer bind feet just because the fettle is learning that the things like that not because wise, but because they know any better.

Nelson BUENA PARK Phone Anaheim 762J.J Fullerton Phone 173R$ Health and Diet Advice By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" SOME CAUSES OF DISEASE (Continued) My experience and observation have convinced me that the most potent causes in the interference with health are the following: FIRST: Foremost in the cause of disease is the congestion of blood containing morbid material in organs and tissues of the body. In simple language, this thickened blood, surcharged with the products of imperfect metabolism, finds itself unable to pass as freely through certain parts of the body as is necessary for perfect health, and, becoming gradually dammed up in organs and tissues, produces an engorgement, which interferes with the free and natural functioning of that part. There are few of the disorders from which mankind suffers where this condition is not present and mostly the principal cause of the disease. This condition of the blood stream is brought about by: The use of more food than the body actually requires for its repair and growth; Improper kinds of food elements used in excess; Insufficient exercise of the muscles so that the nourishment assimilated may be completely used up. This is one of the main causes of growths such as tumor and cancer, and likewise of those diseases which manifest themselves by copious discharges from the mucous membranes, such as tuberculosis, bronchitis, ovarian and womb disorders and leucorrhea. In consequence the cure depends upon the elimination of this congestion and a readjustment of the habits governing eating, exercising, etc., so that the body may be freed from the incumbrance. (To be continued) THE BEST OF ADVICE A FALLACY ABOUT WISDOM Wisdom is usually associated with age. We hear such phrases as "The wisdom of our ancestors," "Venerable Antiquity," "The wisdom of the ages," over and over. A wise man is invariably represented as an aged man with flowing beard. Experience is the mother of wisdom, and the old have, of course, more experience than the young. There is no doubting it. The question is who are the old? and who are the young? Sydney Smith, the wittiest man of his time (1771-1845) in England, had this question in mind when he observed that of individuals living at the same period, the oldest has, of course, the generations of men the reverse of greatest experience, but among generations of men the reverse of this is true. Thus those who come first—our ancestors—are the young people, and have the least experience. We of today have added to their experience the experience of many years or of many centuries; and, therefore, as far as experience goes, are wiser. It seemed to Smith that the real feeling should be, not can we be so presumptuous as to put our opinions in opposition to those of our ancestors? but can such young, ignorant, inexperienced persons as our ancestors necessarily were, be expected to have understood a subject as well as those who have seen so much more, lived so much longer, and enjoyed the experience of so many centuries? Smith does not dispute with our ancestors the palm of talent, in which they may or may not be our superiors, but the palm of experience in which it is impossible COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying CO-OPERATE IN SCHOOL WORK—Riverside (Cal.) Press When Riverside schools opened some parents breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated themselves that for the next few months they will be free from responsibility regarding their children. That responsibility which has been theirs during the vacation they now propose to shift onto the schools. Any father or mother, however, who takes that view is not meeting the measure of responsibility that properly falls on the parent. The child in school is not going to function properly in his studies, in his sports, or in matters of discipline unless there is co-operation between the parents and the teachers, between the home and the school. That view of the situation is well stated by the following editorial in Collier's Weekly and the Press commends it to the thoughtful consideration of Riverside parents: "With your children once more on the threshold of school, all the way from primary to high school, we again make our annual suggestion, plea, request, demand—call it what you will. That is: Check yourself up with regard to what you are really doing—or going to do—to co-operate in your children's schooling. Do you know just what they are going to study? Do you know their teachers other than by name, if that? How many of these teachers have you met, and talked with about your children? How do you know the teachers would consider this a bore or imposition, if you've never tried? How many teachers have you encouraged to talk with you, in case they find your children difficult? If you find fault with the school methods in your community, what have you ever done to improve them? What are you going to do? In short, as regards the education of your children, are you a fault-finder, a drifter, or a co-operator?" GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE WITH CHRAFT AND NIGHT FEARS We are too hasty when we set down our ancestors in the gross for fools, for the monstrous inconsistencies (as they seem to us) involved in their creed of witcraft, it seemed to Charles Lamb. In the relations of this visible world we find them to have been as rational, and shrewd to detect an historic anomaly, as ourselves. But when once the invisible work was supposed to be opened, and the lawless agency of bad spirits assumed, what measures of probability, of decency, or fitness, or proportion—of that which distinguishes the likely from the palpable absurd—could they have to guide them in the rejection or admission of any particular testimony?—that maledens plined away, wasting inwardly as their waxen images consumed before a fire—that corn was lodged, and cattle lamed—that whirlwinds uptored in diabolic revelry of the forest—or that spits and kettles only dance a fearful-innocent vagary about some rustic's kitchen when no wind was stirring—were all equally probable where no law of agency was understood. That the prince of the powers of darkness, passing by the be so presumptuous as to put our opinions in opposition to those of our ancestors? but can such young, ignorant, inexperienced persons as our ancestors necessarily were, be expected to have understood a subject as well as those who have seen so much more, lived so much longer, and enjoyed the experience of so many centuries? Smith does not dispute with our ancestors the palm of talent, in which they may or may not be our superiors, but the palm of experience in which it is impossible they can be our superiors. "We cannot of course be supposed to maintain that our ancestors wanted wisdom, or that they were necessarily mistaken in their institutions, because their means of information were more limited than ours. But we do confidently maintain that when we find it expedient to change anything which our ancestors have enacted, we are the experienced persons, and not they." Tradition is a great stumbling block in man's progress. China is beginning to move forward because it is quitting the centuries-old practice of worshipping ancestors. It no longer binds women's feet just because the fathers did. It is learning that the fathers did things like that not because it was wise, but because they didn't know any better. For appendicitis, that manifests itself in the form of "billiousness," calomel is mighty poor treatment. "In the relations of this visible world we find them to have been as rational, and shrewd to detect an historic anomaly, as ourselves. But when once the invisible work was supposed to be opened, and the lawless agency of bad spirits assumed, what measures of probability, of decency, of fitness, or proportion—of that which distinguishes the likely from the palpable absurd—could they have to guide them in the rejection or admission of any particular testimony?—that maidens plined away, wasting Inwardly as their waxen images consumed before a fire—that corn was lodged, and cattle lamed—that whirlwinds uptore in diabolic revelry of the forest—or that spits and kettles only dance a fearful-innocent vagary about some rustic's kitchen when no wind was stirring—were all equally probable where no law of agency was understood. That the prince of the powers of darkness, passing by the flower and pomp of the earth, should lay preposterous siege to the weak fanstasy of indigent old—has neither likelihood not unlikelihood a priori to us, who have no measure to guess at his policy, or standard to estimate what rate those snile souls may fetch in the devil's market. Nor, when the wicked are expressly symbolized by a goat, was it to be wondered at so much, that he should come sometimes in that body, and assert his metaphor. That the intercourse was opened at all between both worlds was perhaps the mistake—but that once assumed, I see no reason for disbelieving one attested story of this nature more than another on the score of absurdity. "I have sometimes thought that I could not have existed in the days of received witchercraft that I could not have slept in a village where one of those reputed hags dwelt. "Our ancestors were bolder or more obfuse. Amidst the universal belief that these wretches were in league with the author of all evil, holding hell tributary to their muttering, no simple justice of the peace seems to have scrupled upon issuing, or silly headborough serving, a warrant upon them—as if they could subpoena Satin—Prospero in his boat, with his books and wand about him, suffers himself to be conveyed away at the mercy of his enemies to an unknown island. He might have raised a storm or two, we think, on the passage. His acquiescence is in exact analogy to the non-resistance of the witches to the constituted powers. What stops the Flend in Spenser (Lamb refers to "The Fuerie Queen") from tearing Guyon to pieces—or who had made it a condition of his prey; that Guyon must take essay of the glorious bait, we have no guess. We do not know the laws of that country."
