They are there- fore representative of a. national ideal which has slowly unfolded itself and been colored by the duties and power of nineteenth-century England. Is it because we have gotten away from British ideals and tradition in educational methods that we are "lacking in prophesy, cursed with divided loyalty and quibbllng in the ranks. badgered with routine, and harboring a sense of futility," as fir.

Prrlaier King's claim that the Can- adian national debt has been "enor- mously reduced" will not bear exam- ination. It rests upon the absurd na- tion that the National Railway debt is not a part of the debt of Canada. The railway debt is truly "enormous," but it is endorsed by the Government of Canada and the Government of Canada is liable f0r it all. In like manner the Premier's claim that his Government has largely re- duced taxation is unfounded. In the tariff changes made since the King Government came into power there have been both increases and reduc- tions. The reductions have mainly, like those in the sales tax. a lowering of taxes laid on by his own Govern- ment. Of the additions made by his Government the Premier takes no account.

urns complied with that the 81ml‘- nativc of Government Control should also be made clear on the ballot form. Their idea seems to have been that the average voter would be less likely to vole for the repeal of the N. s. T. A. if it were known that the result would be the enactment of a. (xmtrol law. In this the event shows that they were mistaken. The vote polled for CW1- trol was more than double that polled against Prohibition."

This swelling. or oedema as it is called. is due to a poor or sluggish circulation in the capillaries or small vessels that lie between the arteries and veins. and also due to poor cir- culation in the veins themselves. The swelling may also be due to the fact that the tissues do not ab- sorb the fluids fast enough. As you know the kidneys do the most work in so far as getting rid of fluids frxl the body in the form of urine. Physioloflisis tell us that the kid- rreys should throw out not less than 60 percent of the fluids that are tak- en into the body. ~ iWhen swelling occurrs rest in bed is the first and most important form of treatment. This immediately helps the circulation and the kidneys get rid of an increased amount of water. If the kidneys continue to do this it is considered s. favorable sign. whereas whore the output of urine docs not equal 60 percent of the in- lake of fluids. it is unfavorable, and strict diet and medical treatment mustbe undertaken. _ In regard to diet. the chief points to watch are the intake of fluids and salts .'I‘he_ patient must take as little water as possible and do' without salt. In reaard to drugs that of. course will rest with your physician. The usual drug, as you know. is digitalis which not only slows and strengthens the heart. but it is one of the best drug! known for stimulating the heart, kidneys to action. However this is up to your doctor not to you. ' So don't ignore swollen feet or legs. If not due to tight shoes go to bed and send for your doctor.’

One of the conditions which may make you feel a little nervous is to have some swelling of the feet and

States for at least a million years. We are also told that the drift of electrons around the earth's axis of rotation constitutes an electric cur- rent powerful enough to melt the great cables of Brooklyn bridge in a thousandth of a second. Again we are informed, in connec- tion with a recent experiment at Schenectady involving the separa- tion of helium atoms from a portion of the radioactive metal uranium no larger than a five-cent piece. that it would take five trillion years to use up one-half that amount of ur- anium and that the atoms are so small that more than a quadrillion of them could rest on the head of a pin. _ Astronomers, however, are partic- ularly free with their proceasio of numerals. Measuring apaoe in light years or in miles is to the ordinary experimenter with the multipication table a breath-taking proceeding. He is quite ready to accept the astron- omers‘ word for anything over, say. a billion miles or a hundred million light years. . Our ancestors did not think on such a scale. Earth and the heavens were a veritable cozy corner to them in comparison with our enlarged conception of the cosmos. Yet learned men in ages past had some ides of both the infinitely great and infin- itely little. The schoolmen, it will be recalled. had a memorable argu- ment concerning the number of an- gels that could stand on the point of a needle. Lest, however. we be tempted ufsmile at the simplicity of those sevants it is well to know that modern mathematicians likewise use celestial beings in their calculations. Prof. Cassius J. Kayser in his "Math- ematlcal Philosophy" has a charm- ing discussion of what he calls “the infinite group of Abelian angel flights." But the mathematicians‘ angel. sad to say, can fly only in straight lines. Shorn of its imagery, such an "angel flight" is really what is nown in mathematics and physics as a vector."

Q. When and where did Sir Alex- ander MacKensie have his first sight. of the Pacific.

A. A mem iui tablet erected on a rock wall near Bells, Cools, B. C. answers these questions with the following inscription: "This rock is the western terminus of the first journey across the Continent of North America. It was made by Alexander MacKenzie of the North- v west Company who, with his nine l companions, arrived at this spot on the 21st, of July i783. MacKenaie by observations, ascertained his posi- tion, spent the night here, and if- ter writing on the southeast face the words now out therein, retraced his course to Lake Athablsks. This transcontinental journey preceded
