Plrlllment are now in full swing at Ottawa although‘ some of them are rather belated. Among these is the preparation of the estimates of the federal revenue and expendi- ture for the coming year, a most important task, The estimates for the several departments have in a general way been consldere-‘P by the Cabinet as a whole, but are now submitted to a sub-committee of the body. the Treasury Board. which includes the Auditor Gen- eral, seven in all. of whom it is said only four or five usually at- tend,

Following the ravieion by the Treasury Board the estimates again come before the Cabinet and are finally agreed to and sub- mitted to Parliament. But this does not conclude the week of making up the estimates. When the sup- porters oi the government get to- gether in Parliament some oi them always have new demands for pub- lic works or buildings or subsidies nn other services that are too strong to be resisted. This has been usual under past govern- ments and the present one so that first, second and even third and fourth supplementary estlmatos may come before the House during the session and covering an ex-

The British delegation appointed to obtain iniorrnation regarding the‘ system oi child migration and set- tlement in Canada has reported its findings to Parliament. The total number oi children who had gone to Canada under this system had been about 78,000, the highest nllm- ber in any one year having been 3.264 in 1905. In 1923, the latest year for which the Rdport gives in- formation, there were 1,407 sent to Canada, oi which number 407 came from Dr. Barnardds Homes. 207 from the Salvation Army, 213 from Catholic Emigration Association.

A OONTRADICTION ' FROM SCOTLAND

Sun-A leaflet entitled "The Fate of Anti-Unionism" is lacing circu- latcd all over Canada by authority oi the Church Union Committee of the Presbyterian Church. it refers in an utterly misleading and slan- derous fashion to the Free Church of Scotland, oi which l am a minia- ter. 1 crave the courtesy of your columns to reply-w I have travelled in your great Do- minion and been impressed with

and 1 atn astonished that of all people- a Committee oi the Presby- terian Church of Canada should transgress in grossly misrepresent. ing the position oi a sister church —and that a church thousands of mlics away which might. conceiv- ably, never have heard of the mis- neprersentation.

Reference is made to" "corailing the whole property and trusts of the Free Church by means of a lawsuit." The Free Church took no property or trusts which did not belong to them. The ainl of the majority in 1900 was to crush tbs-m out of existence and the minority were compelled to appeal to the law courts in defence of their sacred trust. The highest court. in the realm decided that they. who had adhere-d t othe old constitu- tion of their church, wcrethe true Free Church of Scotland and tho rightful owners of the property and endowments; and_ that the nlajor.ty' who had forsaken the old con-stitut-Eon to form a new United Church had no r gilt or t-itle to the property. ifflrlilllllnlll; however, giv- ing wzly to the climor of the dia- appointed and angry majority, set up a commission which finally awarded to the Flee Church only a small portion oi the property de-

WAIST LINE AND LIFE LINE

‘up,

You have heard the expression that the waist lino is the life line. 1 have mentioned how much the insurance companies prefer the thin man to tho fat man, when the ago ls past forty, in other words a little extra weight while you are younger, is rather a good sign. because it shows that _y_our system is getting plenty oi nourishment. can take care oi all the food you eat, and puts just a few pounds, not too many, in reserve.

But this tendency toward extra weight seems to increase as we get older. and thus the insurance- peoplc tell us that it becomes a liabilitrto us.

A mull or woman getting heav- ier, is not going to be as active as the weight increases, . which of course adds further to the weight. lnfortunateiy the appetite is an ' acquired habit by this time, and it continues at its regular job of wanting plenty of the solid food. and the dainties. that cnn now be obtained practically nil the year round.

Thus the decrease of exercise, with no decrease in uppotito, puts the weight on twice as rapidly. “"1111. is the danger from excess weight‘!
