EATlNG EVERYTHING

Someone has said that there is only one thing worse than eating anything ant] everything, and that is not to eat anything or every thing- in other words this business oi‘ picking and choosing (file's foodi cult be so overdone, that the person: plactislng ii becomes almostl “pecuiial” to his iricnds.

Now is there anything wrong or’ peculiar about using n little judg- ment hrthe matter oi choosing the food?

Not at all, but when an fittdivl-l dual. a normal healthy individual‘ decides to "measure" out his food; according to the requirements oi‘ his particular body. counts the cal- ories of each kind of food, keeps his meal hours the exact number of hours nnd minutes apart, then what should be u joy and a comfort in iiie becomes a regular task master.‘ For witer all. man was made to eat almost everything. l

You see food in the ordinal y‘ state cannot be absorbed into the; blood, but by the time the teeth‘ chews and saliva in the mouthj softens and acts chemically upotr the food, it arrives in the stonlacltl where the muscular coats cllurn ill up well with the acid juice there.

‘in the utrucilure of Confederation. the parliament oi’ Canada. was tho keystone. It was the one creation of the lBritish ‘North America Aot about which the -walla of the nation were erected. The Act passed the British Il-louss o mmoneln "the early spring of 1 7. On March 29, 11867, it W85 given Royal Assent in the lilouse of Lords. tBy proclama- tion it came into effect on July 1. and on November 6, of that year, the first session of the first parlia- ment was opened by tilt. 1H0“. Vis- count Monck, the first Governor General of the Dominion.

The first session of the first par- lianletrt lasted until May. 1868. The parliament ultder the prentierslllD of lSir John A. Macdonuld, lived through five sessions, dissolution being granted by the lEarl of Duf- ferin, the Governor General, in 18- 72. Fifteen parliaments have been summoned and dissolved since July 1, 11867, and 1927 "finds Catiadu be- tween the first and -second sessions of the sixteenth parliament. lFourteon ministers ltave held 0f- fice under the Crown. ‘Of these sight have been Conservative, two have been tUltlonist attd four ‘have been Liberal. Te_n citizens of Can- ada ‘have held the high office of Prime Minister and thirteen Gover- nors General ‘have ' represented three reigning sovereigns in -this Dominion since July, 1867.

Il-‘our titties d-uring these sixty years lCnlifldlnllS have stood to arms and on two of these occasions troops have fought abroad. These occasions were tlte Fetiinn Raids.
