argument advanced by Prem-

E Saunders in his speech yes-

terday on the Draft Address that increased payments to the

Michel's would only mean in- crpssed taxation, and that this in

till-h would mean political suicide for the Government, deserves (Qreful an- alysis. Is it true that the Govern- mom did everything ln its power to secure increased Federal subsidies? ‘Hie leader of the Opposition, and lat- er Dr. MacMlllan who followed Prem- ier Saunders in the debate, showed very clearly that such was not the case. Hon. Mr. Stewart, in the course of his speech on Wednesday after- noon, pointed out that under the rec- ommendations of tlzc Duncan Com- mission no Province can expect any further increase in subsidies until the whole matter of Provincial subsidies has been readjusted. The interim subsidy already received by this Pro- vince was given for _the specific pur- pose of tlding us over untilthis final adjustment with all the Provinces was ldade. The Premier's contention that Iii pressed our claims “vigorously" at (itftaws during the year, is therefore qiiito beside the mark

fThe question, as Mr. Stewart point-

out, is whether the Premier made ,

_ ‘ally move to bring about a final’ set- tleiment between all the Provinces and the Dominion Government, as rec- olnmended in the Duncan report. The Ilulswer is given in Hansard of Feb.

15th. During the discussion in Par- liament on the return oi natural re- lb-burces to the Western Provinces, Mr. "riiurray McLarcn, (St. John-Albert), ,§-ged the claims of the original prov- dices and suggested that before the ‘Election was finally dealt with the 'I‘f'rinle Minister should call a confer- ence oi the premiers of the various

‘ Qovinces, and have their views put

forward. The reply is given verbatim:

He stated that the Gov- ernment will not be able to balance the budget, and further, that “owing to the limited revenue at the dispos- al of the Government and to the fact that he has been disappointed in not receiving any increase in Federal sub- sidy this year," it will not be pos- sible at present to grant the teachers’ requests for increased salaries.

STAY AT HOME

Reports from Boston and other cities in the New England States are to the effect that labor conditions are anything but attractive to Canad- ians. An effort is being made to induce the government of Massa- chusetts to inaugurate a system of public works to provide employment for the thousands of American-born or naturalized citizens who are -in want. This means that if and when such public works are begun employment will be given only to Americans, to the exclusion of Can- adians and other foreigners. There are many Canadians at present among the unemployed in those States, and already a number of them are returning to Canada. At thisseason of the year it has been customary for Canadians seeking a betterment of conditions to turn their faces towards the United States. They should heed the warning im- plied in the conditions above refer- red to. Canada with all its unem- ployment and low wages offers a more promising prospect, at present at least, to our young people. It has always been true that wages in the United States have been on a higher level than in Canada due to the fact that there is less industrial activity here, than in the American cities. There has beena slight im- provement in Canada during the past few years, in spite of the fact that industry which should be car- ried on here has been handed over, raw material and all, to United States factories. The remedy for Canadian unemployment, as has been so frequently pointed out, lies in the exclusion of foreign products by a sane Canadian tariff policy. Then. and not till then, will our young people find work enough, at remun- erative wages, to induce them to re- main at home.

It will no doubt be urged by low tariff advocates that, notwithstand- ing the protective policy of our neighbours to the South, there is more unemployment there, relatively, than in Canada. The reason, how- ever, for the unemployment in the Republic lies in the fact that in re- cent years our southern cousins had worked up a world-trade, and en- couraged by the rapidity 01' "4 d9‘ velopment, they assumed its further increase and produced accordingly. They did not take into account the lessened requirements of a world im- poverished by the Great War. Eur- ope, which was one of their KW" markets has fallen oif tremendousll’ in its importation of American goods. The British Empire has taken to trading within -itself. Germany. France, Italy and other QOHIIMBS. once profitable customers, are now producing largely for themstlvcs, and the United States finds itself with a. surplus of manufactured goods on its hands.

This coupled with ‘the flct thll the industrial activity of those 76$" attracted millions of foreigners from tha ends of the earth. account-n M’ the present sevmi-stesmtion in the United States. There has been over- population as well as liver-WWW- tion.

~Notes yTYie Way

In tho Canadian Cabinet are six men under 60 years of ago. Those are. Mr. Qmnon, 12; Mr. Dunning, 48; Mr. Rlnfret, 45; Col. Ralston. 47; Mr. Malcolm, 4B; and Mr. Cardin, 48.

Six more are in their fifties-Mr. lsipqintc, b2; Mk. Euler, b3; Premier King and Mr. Heeuau, s4; Mr. slum, 58; and Dr. J. ‘H. King. 57.

Six are in their sixties-Mr. Stew- art, 60; Mr. Venlot M: Senator Dan- durand, 67; m. Forks, B8; Mr. Robb and Mr. Motherwell, 89. The aver- age of those ages is a. small fraction under 55 years. I

Tho Cabinet of the United States is older, the ages of its members ranging upward from 51 to ‘l4 with an average of $9 years. This leads the New York Sun in remark that in the new Cabinet “youth will be served-by its elders."

Under the Australian treaty 1B million pounds of butter came into Canada last year-enough to supply every man, woman and child in the Dominion with two pounds each. or every household of five with ten pounds of imported butter. The authors of the treaty would have us believe that this is a good thing for Canada, but they are having a rath- er discouraging experience in trying to make Canadian farmers believe it.

Since the Inst general election in Great Britain, there have already been 5B bye-elections and five more 8T6 b91118 held this week. When these are over no more will be held owing to the near approach of the coming general election. The big majority of members gained by the government at the last election was much in excess of proportion to the popular vote in its favor, and as al- Wflyfl happens in such cases, the Baldwin government has lost seats in the by-clections to both the Labor and Liberal parties-ten to Labor and four to the Liberals-but is still very strongly supported in Parliament. Ten members of the House of Com- mons have died within the past three months.

“Nothing is more important," said Hon. James Malcolm, Minister of Trade and Commerce the other day, "than to assist Canadian industrial- ists to find new markets." The Mail and Empire admits that this is im- portant, but finds that the King Gov- ernmenifs practice is the opposite of its professions. It has assisted Amer- ican industrialists amazingly to find new markets in Canada. The total value of United States exports to this country in 1928 was $918,156,506 as against $836,582,373 in 1927.

“That gain of $80,000 in a single year was a. handsome one upon which the United States may well pride it- self. It is the crowning one of a long seri of such gains here at Canadian producers‘ expense and the United States would be an ingrate if it did not feel under deep obliga- tion toits friend, the King- Govern- ment therefor. Its own Govem- ment has labored for the promotion of United States trade and industry, but its own Government could not bestow the favors United States trade enjoys in Canada's home markets."

King Gove- propagsnds. in and out of Parliament would have us believe that everything is pros- Pfiring and to prosper in Canada. There are notes of dissent from this. Agnes MacPhail, the only lady mem- ber of the House of Commons and who usually votes with the Govern- ment told the House the other day "the agricultural industry in Canada is s sick industry."

Hon. H. H. Stevens. Conservative from Vancouver. told the House that "Canada is faccd with a shrinkage of population that is appalling. From i921 to 1928 we ‘lost in numbers, all the immigrants who came to Canada in addition to 240.000 of our native born. 1t is l. challense to the Gov- us meat and to Parliament." he said. These voices from opposite sides of the House-and there are others of like import-have not the ring of prosperity. If agriculture is sick- and farmers from coast to coast are protesting-sud population is shrink- ing as statistics show, is not our pros- perity somewhat clouded?

The consumption of cigarettes in Canada has assumed alarming pro- portions. During the fiscal. your ending with March. 192B, they paid $23,600,603 in excise duties. ‘Ibis means the duties paid on cigarettes made in Canada. "The number in accurately known," says ‘rho Times- Giobe, "because before any manu- facturer can market his products he must place the entire revenue stamps upon thrpsckllllconthinins the cigarettes.“ 111m were more than four bflllMll-ldlll thousand millions —of cigarettes made and duty paid in Canada. in that one nu. nearly nix times as may ll were produced mania."

As you know that body of your; is kept at a certain weight and in nor- mal condition by means of the food and drink taken into the mouth, and the oxygen from the air which is taken into the lungs. ,

Regularly about 6 pound; o; 19°41

and water is taken into the mouth, and about lit pounds of oxygen goes into the lungs in 24 hours. . This food and oxygen keep all the tissues built up, thus maintaining the weight of the body, supply all the juices for digestion, and givo the blood the materials to curry around to all parts ‘of the body.

The cells all over the body use these materials supplied by the blood, and give out to the blood as it passes through, the wastes that have ro- sulted from their work.

Now these wastes must gab out; o1 the body or trouble comes, because these wastes are poisons.

The blood‘ carries these wastes to the four places where they can be thrown out of the body, the akin, the kidneys, the lungs, and ihe largo in- testine, and they are thrown outas perspiration ,explred‘air, urine and fseces.

As you know the perspiration is thrown out without your knowledge, and likewise the carbon dioxide from the lungs. The urine passes from kidneys to bladder and is passed out with your knowledge for if retained "i Causes Dain and discomfort. You must get rid of it at least two or three times in 24 hours.

Unfortunately however, because man has changed his habits of life, it is possible for him to retain the wasilcs in the intestine for days, some- times weeks, because there may be no pain or acute discomfort arise.

Why?

Because man doesn't eat the kind of food that Nature intended him to eat.

If he did CM; this kind of food, the wasiie from the intestine would move along and out of the body just as do the other wastes. Man would have to remove it lust as he does the urine.

And as you know the right kinds of food as fruits, vegetables, whole wheat bread, butter, coarse cereals, onions, spinach, figs, raisins, prunes, and. so‘ forth. These foods have a subsJancci like straw and this rough straw like substance Very slightly irritates the walls of the intestine and makes them move. .

"Tlckllns" the body anywhere makes the muscles want to move,

The point than is that Nature ex- pected us to eat some of this food daily. and if we do the wastes should move out from the intestine two or three times a day.

HOW SWEET THE MOONLIGHT SLEEPS

How sweet the moonlight sleepgi upon this bank! '

Here will we sit, and let the sounds of music

Creep in our ears; soft stillness and the night

Become the touches of sweet har- mony.

Sit, Jessica; look, how the floor of heaven

Is thick inlaid with patincs of bright gold;

There's not the smallest orb which thou beholgrit

But in his motion like an angel sings,

Still quiring to the young-eyed cher- ubims;

Suchbarmony is in immortal souls;

But, whilst this muddy vuturs of decay

Doth grossly close it in, we can not hear it.

The man that hath no music in him- self, Nor is not moved with ‘concord of sweet sounds, , Is fit for tlsasons, stritsgems, and spoils. Tlie motions of his spirit are dull as Illlht. And his affections dark as lrsbul: not no such mun be trusted. —W. Bhakflbllfl. (The Merchant of VenicmAct vseai)

‘I like the scientist who assumes that I am. in the matters of which he writeaamuttandtsikstomson that assumption, which happens to be pcrfectily correct, "and inevitably correct; for what can they know of science who only logic know? The layman, ringed round with s flame of odd 'symbols. stands muttish and mute: a boob. a pin-head, a hay-seed, a dumbell. He will bear anything, and believe anything, if only they will not try to explain it to him. "I cannot attempt o, popular explanation," says Professor Eddington, in The Times. "because the substructure-has never been popularly explained." Thai; is tho stuff to give us! We know our place, and it isoutsido the smctury.

flames aspire: the pale priests move rhythmically in the ritual dance; the mystery remains wrapped in mist. All this is as it should be; I would suggest merely, for embellishment. that fifty scientific virgins should be sacrificed each year-decked with wreaths of vine-leaves in their hair. and burned alive. Fillcted. in fact, and fried. _

There is no harm in science. It is the popular explanations that do the mischief. I once read one (and, con- sidering what I am going to say about it, I am too kindly and too cowardly to name the author) which purposed to make relativity clear to the mutts. Al! it made clear was that the author, an eminent man of science, was incapable of logical thought. It engendered in the reader a frightful suspicion that perhaps all one needed, in order to be an emin- ent man of science, was an incapac- ity for logical thought. If this was the stuff they were trying to put across, said the mutt, let them be happy playing among themselves! Bu; that, oi course, is no ense. Tile reaction, though involuntary and venlal, is nevertheless absurd. The acutcness of the scientific mind, the vastness of scientific achievement, no mutt must question. The whole vis- ible world has been changed about us in a few years; the compass and amenity of our lives have been ii.- cornprehcnsibly enlarged; if we seek the monuments of science, we need scarcely look around. We touch, wear, use them: are harried and healed hi‘ them: recognize and praise them alcud. But the mind that is acute in science is not necessarily acute in anything else, and it is in science that scientific achivements are made. That world isa special one. They can- not introduce us rlor can we 111- vadc.

Why should We ask to, or want to? It is obvious that advanced physics is something not to be grasped save aft-er Tong years of special applica- tion. It is difficult, it, is abstruse, it is abstract. On what conceivable grounds should we expect those wno have acquired their expert knowledge by-the dedication of time and brains, to render the substance oi that know- ledge to us in easy words? ff the ex- planation were easy, the matter to be explained would not be hard, and eminent men would not have dedicat- ed time and brains to it. We do not ask this irrational ease in any other technical connexion. The mutt who i5 baffled by the symphony does 110% suppose its meaning can be written out for him in simple language.
