Mr. S. F.

Masqueradeis in The‘ Tariii Issue

Hon, Manning Doherty, minister of “Agriculture in the Farmers’ Government of Ontario has made in the Legislature some remarks about the tariff. "l am not a free- zi-uder," he said. He even went on to intimate that nobody should ac- cuse the farmers ofhelng free- traders. "l don't think that the majority of members on this aide of the House (tho farmers) want otvsee the tariff completely torn out in- a month or a year or many years." He then proceeded to pro- tect himself from outraged free- iruders by denouncing the present turizl‘ ils "most unscientific, most unjusl and [lie most iniquitous any country evcr had." Mr. Doherty ought to be able to cite facts about this, but he doesn't.

WHY DOEiS THE HEART BEAT-_ WHEN THE BRAIN IS ASLEEP

Under ordinary _ conditions the‘ heart beats are conirolled by cor< lain nerve cells which are located within ihc heart itself, and these cause the heart to beat, while the brain is zisleep. This explains why the heart beats when the brain is zislcep, and the fact that tho brain when zisleep does not exercise its functions shows how necessary this zirrnngeinent and the control of ordinary heart beats is. if this were not so, we should not he able to live while asleep. lt is just. like the management of a great business in this sense. The gen- eral manager of a izreai business has conirol of the entire works, but there are occasions when he, must be thinking o fonly one thing‘ in connection with the business. and so he must have his organiza- ilon so Cfllllifllﬁlf: that the parts which h.- can nol he ihinking about at ihc tlnio \v‘ill do their work just llioi same. So he surrounds him- self with contement assistants, who look sitter certain departments while he is busy or away or asleep, and if anything goes wrong while llf‘. is invny, he culls on special for- (r4 lo si-l things right. Now tho brain is ilic general manager of the whole body and has those nerve cells ln the heart as sort of as- sistant munnger to look after the heart bouts in ordinary conditions, and to keep the heart. going while lie is asleep. liul, by reason of his oillce as general manager, the brain has n special way of sending orders lo the heart through special nerves which rim from the brain down cnch aide of the neck to the licnrl. 'l‘lu-rc lire lwn pairs of those spiccial nerves. Om- pair, if sol in motion. will make ilie hear» beat faster, and the other pair will inruke tho heart beat more slowly.
