Pussyfoot’s Real Field

Liquor is said by official figures
from Washington to have caused
2467 deaths in the United States
during 1923.

It is a terrible toll, And had
the American government not
spent millions to prevent the
drinking of harmful liquor it
would have been stil] more ter-
rible. -

But for every 10 persons that
died from over-drinking during
19%3, 100 died from over-eating.

If it is worth while to spend a
million dollars to cut down the
death rate caused ‘by injudicious
drinking, it would be just as
worth while to spend ten million
dollars to eut down the death
rate caused by injudicious eating.

Before another century is past,
one of the prime functions of
government will be to see that
the people are properly educated
in the science of living and that
at least as much money is spent
on keeping people from eating
themselves to death’ as is spent
on préventing them from. drink-
ing themselves to death. - —Van-
couver Sun.

What applies to the U.S. ap-
plies eqally to Canada, and the

funny part of it is that most of

the food hogs are loudest in their
condemnation of over-drinking.
For the preservation of the human
race and the maintenance of com-
mon decency it-is tithe laws were
passed prohibiting the food hogs
feeding themselves. ”

_ Vancouver—the city of snow,
ice and rain. Who would want
to live in such a hick town?
Never know what clothes to put
on ‘to insure’ a safe return at
night.

Col. C. W. Peck is being boost-
ed on the Islands 9s leader of the
Conservative party, to succeed
W. J. Bowser when that old war
horse decides to retire. But Cy.
says there’s nothing to it.

The business man’s curse—
January, This month means:
Dominion. income tax returns,
provincial income tax returns,
departments .of labor statistics
(Dominion and provincial) , Work-
men’s Compensation statistics,
and statistical returns to every
Tom, Dick and Harry who gets a
job in the civil service. No two
forms:are alike and each depart-
ment endeavors to get the most

complicated form,

Some Italians in Vancouver
have been caught putting real
labels on bogus booze. and the
Attorney- general’s department is

the government stores get some
of the vile stuff being sold to the
unsuspecting public.

This is the license and permit
month. It is hardly safe to go
outside the house without first
arming oneself with a sheaf of
such documents. Among others
there are business license, auto
license, booze permit, gun license,
trap license, fish license, gas
license, besides all the ordinary
and extraordinary taxes, It costs
monéy to live nowadays.

Peter McArthur gets off some
good ones now and then. His
statement that the government
would not permit him to pack! a
lot of rotten apples in a barrrel
which was to be sold’ as good
grade, but does not prevent pack-
ing a lot of rotten securities in
the bank purchased with the
money of the people who deposit:
ed thelr savings there, has truth
to back it up.— Petrolia Topic.
