in the recent election there was one main issue, na/mely, the fiscal policy. the Conservative policy oi protection and theyLlberal policy of a tariff for revenue only, a tariff which would afford no protection to our agricultural or industrial pro ducts.

Men and women voted, no doubt consistently. for each of these. There are- those among us who, like certain members of parlia- ment. rejoiced after some sweep- ing reductions had been made 1n the tariff by the late government, -—that they had "beard the death knell oi protection."

mi EDITORIAL NOTES

‘llwo general election campaigns within six mon-iihe is a somewhat strenuous chapter in our political ‘life.

Curious that, to a certain type of mind. all the argument on the other aide is "misrepresentation"

or "albuse" or "scurri-lity."

A partial ‘blanket of snow fell on Tuesday night. just enough to give a gentle hint as to what is coming.

Some people consider it always the right thing to blame the fel-

low on the other aids. This is es- pecially true of the political game.

The enterprise of our sport-lov- log youth was abundantly evid- enced yesterday by a number of children. mere tots. who carried enough of the meagre snow blan- ket to a favorite hill by ‘the street side and made a tobaggan slide which enabled them to coast. Surely this love of coasting should some how be gratified by erect-

perience in finance been available it might have been of great value to the country. l-ils address at the Winnipeg Conference on Canada's present national and economic p0- sition covered a wide range of sub-

gxwpflml‘ Quebecf“ "he" mher-‘jects and showed that he had kept‘

abreast of the national progress 9f Canada in all its lines oi‘ activity. and had lost none of his patriotic interest therein. '

“l have always had faith in Can-

principle of protection. a tarifffida." said Sir Thomas. "and it‘

would be difficult indeed for me to be other than confident as to Can- ada's future. That is because i be- lieve that Canadian ability, Cana- dian energy and Canadian patriot- ism will always prove adequate to the solution of Canada's national problems.” was supported by n review 0f the growth oi‘ Canada in wealth, in the expansion of trade and industry, pointing out that while our national indebtedness‘ is large, u prlflvlillll part of the interest thereon is bc- ing paid lo our own people as bold- ers of Victory and other Wur Loan bonds.

The most serious of our present national problems. all of which were brought

under review -by Sir Thomas uud treated impartially, is the yearly recurring‘ railway deficit. We need a million more people to put our National Railway system on a pay-

conducted on an elevated and pat.- riotic plane. which ii followed in the later deliberation and crystal- lized in the resolutions and recom- mendations adopted will give pro- mise oi‘ beneficial results.

There la to be a recount of the votes cast in the late election In Queen's County, beginning on lFri- day next. This is-a judicial proce- dure and is usually allowed when asked for by a candidate who is personally concerned in the result. Nobody will complain that it has been asked for in this case, and no one will doubt that it will be con- ducted with the utmost care and impartiality. At the same time the recount will necessarily delay the ofllcial return oi the members who have received the majority of votes and will prolong in some measure the uncertainty as to who have been lawfully elected. Had capable and well-instructed officials been pla cod in all the polls the result of the election would have -been known at the close of the voting nearly three weeks ago and the official re- count now pending would probably not have bepu asked for.

The Toronto Globe seems to think the people of the Maritime: did not vote mainly on the tariff in the re- cent election. it may be admitted that other considerations were also in their minds at the time. There was. at least a strong determination to get rid of the ‘King Government. But the Globe is wrong in its as- sumption that the Maritime people are, or have ‘been strongly oppose-i to a protective policy. in the elec- tion of 1878 on the National Policy the three Maritime Provinces re- turned 24 Conservative ‘members and only 19 Liberals. Again in 1911 when baurier was at the height of his popularity and reciprocity was the issuethe -Maritimes returned to

19 Liberals. Since then there is no doubt that a protective policy is more highly apreciated and regard ed as a necessity for Canada than it-was before. The higher Ameri- can tariff in recent years has pow- erfully contributed to that result.

The three eleotlone of 1s1s, i911 and i928 in the Maritime Provinces in all of which the tarlii‘ was a main issue. emphatically establish our

contention. Here is the record: Conservative. Liberal l878............24 19 1911 .... 1e ‘"10 1925 . . . . . . . . . . .. l3 Total........ 68 H

MORE THAN CALORIES

In a very worthy effortto cut down the food intake. thus save food and keep down the weight, some folks are forgetting that food is used ior other, purposes than just as fuel to supply the nee essary energy for the body. lt must in addition to supplying this food for energy,’ supply also the materials to manufacture the act- ual cells of the body itself.

You have likely seen little tab- ,les showing the iood value in cal- ories (heat) oi the various kinds of foods. This is of course of value and the restaurants doing this are doing a real service in getting people interested in the idea of a mixed diet. But that something more than just so many calories jwas essential in the daily diet. has i-been proven by our research men, iwho have been able to show that Lthose mysterious things we call vit- ‘amius are very important factors. They are known as i'at soluble. ‘A found in animal fats. fat solu- vble B found in certain cereals and leggs. and water soluble C found ‘in certain fruits and vegetables.

4 And what are the particular pro- lperties of these vitamins insofar ‘us that body of yours is concerned?

The fat. soluble A found in ani- mal fats has been shown to in- crease the resistance oi'the body against inflections diseases. Ani- muls oi" the same family have been infected und one group ‘given foods containing this A vitamin. and the other food free from vitamin A. The animals fed with vitamin A invariably did better than the oth-

b. Put soluble B found in'cerenls and eggs likewise strengthens the

resistance powers oi‘ the body and is essential to the growth of thel cells of tho body. And the water soluble C found in fresh fruits and vegetables is the: essential element that prevents that dread ailment, scurvy, whit-bl bus worked havoc on shipboard ori other glint-es, where fruits and veg-‘ ctublcs were not obtainable. ‘ l know that there are many fads iu foods these days, and it is nn-. fortunate tbnt some folks find it‘ necessary to actually weight their‘ daily intake. This kind of thing can |be carried to such nu extreme that? (the individual may crenté u reul lirervnils condition therefrom. ‘ i However food is really you, be-

o+oo BU_Y AT HOME.

_8ir.—<As a. reader of your paper ‘I notice in your issue of the liillh. inst. an article entitled “Buy at Home" which says that our ‘home merchants are paying their share of the taxes of the oauutry. I cau- not see any argument there. Has not every one to pay an equal share of the taxes? Again l wish to ask how patronizing our home stores will reduce taxation, as there- are little or no goods manufactured l-n this province. This puts us in a position that We have to buy all our goods outside our province. ‘In that case wiho has the better right to order them, the menchaln-t or the consumer?

Any reasonable mam or woman will admit that they can lbuy ‘from the ‘ma! order houses at ‘least twenty to twenty rfive per cent lcss than from ‘the home merchants.

Again they say we‘ send our mone-y out of the province. Does the merchant no; send our money outside of our province to pur- chase- his ‘goods? Do they not send a portion of it to United ‘States manufactorles?

Again they tc-li ‘us that we are

spending a mgillllon dollars that ought to ibe gpent at home. if so it would cost at least a million and a ha-lf dollars to purchase the same goods flrom our local merchanm. Now, there is only one way ‘for our local merchants to stop us from trading wit‘h the catalogue ‘houses and that is to com-pate with them on- prices, othelrwlsc we w-lll ta/ke the merchant's own advice and practice economy. which means 'i/J buy our goods where we can buy them the cheapest.
