The defeat of the luuéiom dov- ernment seems to have been deci- sive and puts the Liberal dirty there out of control oi provincial affairs for years to come. It isjlso a severe reverse to the Liberal Gov- ernment at Ottawa, who have no longer a supporting Government on‘ the Pacific Coast. The Govemments- oi the Prairie Provinces are no longer supporting props of the King Government as they have been in the past when both Manitoba and Saskatchewan were under Liberal Governments. The question oi con- trol and possession of their natural resources is still a bone oi conten- tion. So that between the Ottawa and the Pacific Coast. there is not a single provincial Government that can be relied upon for a thick-and- thin support of the Liberal mach- ine at Ottawa.

And with this defeat in the For Wcst has come the alarming out- break of hostility to the King Gov- ernment by The Toronto Globe. In the meantime, Mr. Bennett, the Conservative leader who mauled the Ministers and aroused their fears during the session of Parliament, is winning fresh laurels as he mingles _with the Canadian people from day to day. The chariot wheels of Lib- eralism rcll heavily these clays, pres- aging further troubles yet to come in the near future.

Governor Smith, Democratic call- didate for the Presidency, has not disguised his personal conviction against prohibition and the Vol- stead lawf He has pledged himself to support these measures while they remain the law of the land, and also to work for important amend- ments thereto. By so much he ap- pears to be an anti-prohibitionist, yand must bear the odium which at- |taches to that attitude. The fact

er tends to strengthen the belief that he is an anti-prohibition candidate. In common parlance he is a “wet", just as Hoover is “dry."

Presidents do not make laws, that being the function of Congress. Co-l incident with the election of the Prtl-udent many members of the Senate and the House of Represent- atives will also be chosen at the same time.

There are also differences in »the way food is ‘handled by the bouy machinery in different individuals.

As mentioned before three indivi- duals may eat the same kind and amount oi food. do the same amount 0f "Wk. and 8st the same amount of rest, and yet within a certain de- finite time one will have gained 31W bounds, one lost five pounds, and the other remained at the same weight.

Why?

Because the manner in which the food is broken up, absorbed into the bifwd. or used up by work or exer- cise, or stored in the body as fat. varies in different individuals ow- ing to the speed or lack of speed of Ihe processes. and these processes are affected by the ductless glands. However this does not mean that you have no control over the way food is absorbed into the blood.

If you allow yourself to become lllzy. never stir up the liver, nor bend the body by exercise, then the sluggislincss or slowness of move. mentsof large intestine permits little organisms to go up into small intestine and interfere with the ab- Wfllticn of food stuffs into the blood.

What is my thought? _

That you may not be getting the full benefit oi’ your food if there is this interference with absorption. This does not mearf that you, should take medicines to clear out the intestines so as to get rid oi these organisms.

By having o. certain bulk of mal- erial going through the intestines at a normal rate, the muscular walla: of the intestines have something lo grip or take hold of, which is the natural condition of things. A strong purgative interferes with this natur- al action.

There is Just one point then and that is that if you will eat the or- dinary foods including some fruits, and vegetables to give bulk, and will take exercise to stimulate liver, bile flow, and intestinal movement, you will get the full benefit of the food eaten.
