A NATION OF OVEREATERS U.Ş. MEDICAL MAN'S CRITICISM OF
LS COUNTRYMEN,
Since the repeal of the law in New York State enforcing Prohibition, bootleggers' prices have been reduced 30 to 40 per cent., "and" to-day in Now York you can buy real Scotch at 248, a bottle and ayn- thetic gin guaranteed not to "blind" the consumer at 9s. Apparently the supply is equal to the deninad in other words, booze" flows as merrily by sea and land as was predicted. Nevertheless, the opin- ion of all the impartial critich is that, with the disappearance of public drinking- places, the younger generatim hep is growing up without the taste for strong liquor, and this represents a great vie fory for temperance advocates. Accord ing to investigators here Americans are now becoming "food drunkards," and there is no nation in the world where people eat so much meat at breakfast, luncheon, and dinner, topped off with woets and ice-cream. Dr. Alfred Glas cock, speaking at the Medical Convention in New York on July 6th, gave a public warning that heavy eating is hardly less injurious to the average sedentary person than heavy drinking. He says that, (10.000.000 little Americans are suffering prematurely from dreayed teeth, and 13.000.000 others are afficted with some other ailment due to the consumption of evormous quantities of sugary foods. Americans he described a nation of overeaters. "Many of us are dead on our fret." Overenting he described as "the greatest cause of disease in America, and suggested that men should wear corsets and diet strictly to combat the danger of overweight..
THE UNIVERSITY OF LATER LIFE.
It had been said that the best educa tion was that which a man provided for himself. It was what he taught himself that mattered. Now in the public library, which might be enlied the free, school of the people, the student was no longe spoon-fed,'"' said Mr. John Minto the chairman of the Scottish Library Associates, the other day: "He was free" to exercise his own choice of reading, and the public library became for him the best school of the huwag. ities."
"One foresaw for the public library," continued Mr. Minto, "a widening horizon, an increasing purpost, since to it alone of all institutions which had the things of the mind for their province no limity were prescribed. Unrestricted by any conservative principies, It could not fall behind.. fate that might even for a time overtake a University. Thus the "turation acquired through the mediam of the public library might be regarded as supplementary, as even corrective, to that provided by sebool or college.
The library was the University of Inter life. University which, while admitting all and sundry within its portals, imposed upon them one of the trammels of authority. Such was the University to which they were called do he, the professors, and for the librarian Lof the future he could foresee respon- [sibilities as yet but imperfectly realized.”
EXEMPLARS OF EMPIRE. DUKE OF YORK ON THE
· TEACHER'S INFLUENCE. `·
The Imperial value of the personal in- frence of the school teacher was emphasised by the Duke of York in welcoming delegates from all parts of the Empire to the Imperial Education Conference, which he opened at the Board of Education last month."
The Duke said: Education, provided we take a wide view of the subject, is more vital than anything else to-day. To my mind, and in my recollection, its most important sapect is the personal influence of the teacher. Even the injunctions of Bourds of Education can never be so potent

the teacher" indeed must be subsidiary to
personality and example. His
er her example in school and out of school can point the
the way to that healthy developi ment of body and mind which can teach the
or girl
to esteem the playing of the than the winning of the game

prize and to put the honour and safety of the Community before the succesa the in dividual. Events conspire to
to make us all Imperialists, to-day. It is well therefore, that the children who are growing up in should
this and other nations of the realise the full meaning of the Imperial and should be reminded that partnership they are destined to inherit a great trust.
In addition to two delegates from the Irish Free State, two representatives from Nor thern Ireland were also present
HOLIDAYS IN GERMANY. "EVEN AUSTRIANS NOW FIND THEM CHEAP.
The Vienna correspondent of a London Paper writes:
The extent to which the mark has fallen even below the lowly Austrian krone is illustrated by the fact that Austrians are now flocking to Germany for cheap holidays. It is calculated by Austriang that they can now enjoy their holidays in Germany for abouy a third of tho amount they would require anywhere in Austria
So great is the rush to Germany that unemployed men and women take their places in the queues which form over night at the passport office in Vienna for the purpose of selling their positions in the morning to newcomer, and from 3. tos, is gladly paid for such a place, which means that the applicant may, bo able to get into the passport office after waiting only an hour or two..
The rush of Austrians to Germany this 1.summer is even greater than that of Gør-
