The causes which produce gale! stlhis time of year, for August gales appear to be periodic pheno menu. are not explained h! our scientists and meteorologists. So far as we can ascertain there is nb astronomical or meteorological cause for them, which reminds B6 that there are movements and laws in this universe of ours of which little is known even by those who profess to know much. Duulnoc- tlal disturbances, for example, has! have some justification for their actions as the sun equator. a feat which lt performs only twice a yearfon March 22nd and September 22nd, but What causes exist in August to bring about, almost yearly. those August gsles which have no connection with any known planetary or solar movements is yet to be ascertain- ed.

The Saxby gale which occufrcd in the sixties of the last century had been predicted some months previously and arrived promptly on the date fixed. it was attributed to the unusual conjunction of sev- eral planets which being in a dir- ect. line with the sun and conse-

quently added their combined i111" to that of the sun. caused the at-

The lest official act of the Bell government. the discontinuance of work on the roads, work begun in panic and ‘ for political purposes immediately before the election, was oiie of the most uncreditable ‘acts of their whole regime and will probably cost the PWYWCG more than any of their many cost- ly acts, Men in a position to know declare that the restoration of the roads from the condition in which they were left when work was discontinued the day after the election will cost es much as the whole "Bell government monu- ment" cost originally. The Sum- iriprside Journal commenting edi- torially on the general msladminis- lrstion of the government says:

And so it was the day after the election ‘foundlths roads in many places very badly cut up and in a well- nigh impossible pzondition in oth- ers. Such a ridiculous proced- ure on the part of the Government nierelyvlndicstes the calibre of that wonderful aggregation who guided-l-or rather misguided the destinies of this lfrovince during the past four years and ltep; it under n continuous handicap. i ,

WHICH REMINDS US

fWhile the welcome accorded to Their Excellencies Governor Gen- eral and Lady iByng was as warm and as hearty as could have been wished, we sre again reminded oi the "quiet dignity" with which we usually welcome our distinguished guests. Evidently we are not given to vociferous cheering. ‘The crowds which line our streets to view the passing royal or vice royal pageant, look on with undoubted interest and apprecia- tion but in stolid wordless, cheer- lcss silence. Nothing hearlenis i.he crowd like that enthusiasm which becomes contagious by giving united voice to our welcome by rousing and hearty‘ cheers. The arrival of Their iExcellencies at "19 YHlIWB-Y 68ml was greeted by thousands who came to join 1n the welcome but the welcome was not expressed in cheens as it well might have been. We realize that We fllflfllhi; of a cheer must be a concerted action and when a group finds itself by a street side or at a railway depot awaiting the arrival of some one worth cheering for, a read)’ rdmfldy for our habitual sil- ence would be found in some one proposing before hand “let us give him a cheer when he appears." The invitation will be heartily ac- CBPNG; all will gladly join in; what they need la a starter and a good, rousing, hearty cheer will at once inform the visitor that he is welcome. The efficacy of ii Pre-flrrlnxcd cheer was well dem- onstrated at the Scottish Gathering on Wednesday. The iiriansh-‘al of the Clledollian IClub according to Previous arrangements proposed three cheers ss His Excellency; was mounting the steps and u" "three cheers and a tiger" which followed and in which all joined. made a fitting and no doubt sppre elated welcome. Cheering crowds in the street sides. cheering crowds wherever the opportunity offers adds much to the welcoming of out distinguished visitors. Let us not forget to cheer. _ _ i

Millions of new voters in the Dominion and throughout the

Empire took up the new study of

public affairs as time and opportun- ity enabled them to do so. But the women voted in almost as large numbers as their bus- bands, fathers and brothers. and more or less under some guidance from those better informed lind more experienced relatives.

On the other hand ‘although wo- men are now entitled to be elected to sit in parliament and the legis- latures, but the merest hand-iul of their number have offered them- selves as candidates for election. This is s. striking fact, whether it is due to feminine modesty, or cau- tion, or whether it is due to the want oi’ gallantry on the part of men, or because the age-long cus-

ytom of nominating conventions has

been to nominate men only. Three- fourths of the provincial legislat- ures have not a single feminine member and~the Dominion ‘Pllfllii-

tented lady candidates are almost as few.

in the British Parliament there are almost so few women in pro- portion to the total number of members as in the lDominion Par- liament. 1n the United States it, is much the same, although in the Mother Country many women of rank and wealth have long made themselves active in politicnlcam- paigns. in our own province, among somc sixty masculine candi- dates at the recent election there was no woman, although in the wo- men's party clubs considerable el- foctive political activity was dis- played in the city and towns.

Our Impression is that with in-, creasing experience the number of women aspiring to representative positions will increase somewhat,_ but not rapidly. lSome question of moral reform, or some reactionary movement such as the repeal of liquor prohibition, or other mens- ures touching upon ihome life or morals may supply -the necessary stimulant for more rapid develop - ment of political aspirations among the gentler sex. ISo far, and hap pily as we think, there has ariscii

no movement to establish a separ- ate women's party. it is not nced- 0d. it will probably be long before the number of women in the legis- latures is more than n modest miti- ority. An impression still prevails among both women and men that politics. like professional and com- mcrclsl lifc is mainly the Iiuslncss

of men. ‘

Some little ripple upon the pre- sent still surfsoe of the political waters may be raised by the com- ‘lng fed bye-elections in Plctou and South Renfrew. At this writing the date of those events has not been announced. Nor has any in- dicatlon been given as to whether both or either of the two seats will or will not be contested by the Op- position. in government circles there is evidently an impression that both seats are entirely sufc for the new minlsteri. Their maj- orities at the general election oi December, 192i, were large.

WEAKNEES AND OLD AGE

Did you ever see a young man or young woman who was recovering from a severe illness?

Did you ever realize that they be- have just like people who sire g-row- ing old‘! There is the same ‘general weakness, perhaps lack of appetite and some irritalbili-ty and a com- pletely tlred out feeling. And prac- tically the same tiring is happening. When you are ill or rundown ev- fatlgu-ss you. You see ybur blood carries around to sill parts of the body worn out substances and so aill the tissues get poorly nourished. These prod- ucts are of an acid Natuir-e while your blood is alkaline.

Thus you see it is your inability

repeated illnesses or perhaps or perhaps periods of loweredvl-taiity and gradually wear out—no more fighting power.

And how does the young person getting over an illness get strong

Well, as you know, he gets his weakness from the poor quality of tlic blood.

And how is the blood improved in quality?

Only in one way. By common good nourishing food. ' You know when the sick mun starts to eat the victory is ususflly won, And so if just a. little more thought were given to this in the home, in instrltutiions, rind the- camp hospital, the recoveries would be infinitely more rapid.
