He told listeners the union did not try hard necugh for co-operation between farmers o’ the province and the Dominion and Provincial Governments. The minister also said rural credits would be abused if the system was established by the province. m.

The tradition was reasonable enough before there was any science of meteorology, and especi- ally before meteorologists had begun to draw daily weather maps, from which it is possible to see Just where and to what extent stormy weather prevails at any particular time. These maps show that universal storminess never happens. Despite this fact, the tradition of the equi- noctisl storm might still hold good in certain localities if the storms that always occur somewhere on the equinoctial dates were usually found in the same places on these dates; but this is not the case.

the warmer months in Canada and northern United States, most of the strong winds and hard rains come in the ‘form of brief thunderstorms and squalls, but a change comes inthe Fall.

Because of the southward shift of the main storm tracts crossing the continents the spells of bad weather then begin to be of longer duration, because they are due to the passage of widespread storms, They often begin with protracted rains and end with p!" ‘ ‘ high nus . ay winds. The first of these cold-sea- son tempcsts frequently occurs near enough to the equinox to be popu- larly identified as the "equinoctial."

In some cases this storm is the "tail-end" of a West Indian hurri- cane. One of the most memorable storms in the histo of New Eng- land arrived here rom the West Indies exactly on the date of the equinox in the year 1815. Besides wrecking thousands of buildings and taking vast toll of woods and forests, it carried off a pair of breeches belonging to a six-year- cid boy named Oliver Wendell Holmes. as he related later in "The September Gale." -

That good nourishing food is nec- QBIHY t0 ltrwlflien the patient so that he can fight the ailment is now so well known that in some hospi- tals considerable time is spent in tewhira nurses how to prepare the tray oi food in such an attractive way that it will appeal to the pat- ients eye, and then to his appetite. This is called the “brain appetite" because the sight and smell of the food act upon the brain and cause it to send word to the mouth, stomach, and pancreas to pour out their dig- estive Juices before a single morsei of food enters the mouth. And these digestive Juices pour out in these increased amounts for a full forty- flve minutes.

Following Dr. Mclestsrb sug- gesticn then it would be well fcr those in charge of patients in the home or hospital to study the food likes and dislikes of the patient, be- cause the development of a good ap- petite not only means that more food will be eaten but that it will be more thoroughly digested and ab- sorbed into the blood.

This idea of "feeding up" the pat- ient is certainly a change from the old days when food was cut down so as not to givethe body processes too much to do while they were fighting of! the ailment.

It is only good sense to give the body good nourishment so, as Dr. McLester says, "to enable it to make a more adequate fight against dis- ease."

The air is calm. or gentle breezes blow from a sout‘ l, quar- ter. The landscape is veiled in a soft hase ,and asmell of smoke and leaf-dust prevades the air. Some years we have little or ncne of this wonderful Indian Summer weather, while in other years it oc- curs at intervals through the Autumn and even in the early Win- ter. A familiar criterion for settl- ing the question cf which is the "true" Indian summer is furnished by the belief that a mild ‘utumnal period is not really Indian Slimmer unless it is immediately proceeded by a brief “squaw Winter," with cold, grey skies and snowfiurries. The authorities have not yet been able to decide how th word "In- dian" came to be used connection with a period of mild weather in Autumn, whether it was because this period was a favorite hunting season with the redskins, or a time propitious for their attacks on the whites. or the season when Indian corn was harvested: or whether it was because the smoke in the air during.
