Here is good news for hostesses who serve their guests with sandwiches: Dr. Iamcs A. Tobey, prominent health authority. explained re- cently why a “sandwich is better than its filling." The results of scientific studies, show-ed that cer- tain elements in modern bread actually aid in the body's utilization of minerals contained in other foods. Recent laboratory experiments disclose that a greater percentage of iron contained in meats, eggs, vegetables and fruits is used by the body when bread is eaten along with these foods. Hence the custom of serving bread at every meal has a sound scientific basis. Bread itself, as it is made in North America today, contains valuable food minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, as well as carbo-lrvdrates for energy, proteins for building muscle, and certain vitamins that pro- mote vitality. The vitamin BI content of white bread is equal to that of most vegetables, while whole wheat bread contains even more. When bread or sandwiches are well-buttered, n liberal supply of vitamin A is added. A number of biit- ter substitutes include this vitamin as well. Questioned about whether a slice of bread and butter could be considered a "fattening food," Dr. Tobey said no.

On all sides people in Britain still are ponder- ing the chances of invasion and of greatly in- tcnsified air attacks. but no satisfviiig conclus- ions are arrived at cxccpt that, with every day that passes. the prospect of a successful invasion. if it cvcr existed, becomes steadily dimmer, and that Britairfs resistance to air attack is increas- ing by leaps and bounds. These are heartening facts, but they don't remove the probability that much material damage may be suffered before (icriiiatiws offensive power finally is broken. At lli" saint‘ little the financial situation is such that there clearly is only one channel for the flow of investment funds, and that is into the war loans. The stock exchange? experience indicates that all oibi-r lilllll‘l< for invcstmcuti funds stead- ilv are closing. Host investors. too. have dccidcrl

‘NOTES BY TNE WAY

It la said that expecting unn- teur soloieis to save England is like BSEJHK amateur doctors to operate for appendicitis. But a doctor continually exercises his skill. A professional soldier has had no chance to practise his pro-

fession during the last twenty years. And his memories of the oid-iasluoried wars of his youth

are a handicap, not an advantage. The most Junior officer from Dunkerque is more experienced now in modern warfare than the most venerable Brassliat at. the War Office. Some of the great- est, military geniuses have been amateurs who took up soldering in the time oi’ their nation's ril. Cromwell, Washington, Ge eral Monash. In i914 Lloyd George and Churchill thought out means of fighting the new trench war- fare, while a professional soldier like Kitchener could only ex- clalm: "I don't know what's to be done-this isn't war." And most great soldiers have been young. Alexander died at. thirty-two. At Waterloo Wellington was forty- five, Napoleon forty-six — and Napoleon was then past. his prime. Hitler is fifty-one — (alpd therefore, we hope, beyond is best.) - London Express.

The demand for adequate remuneration for wives has been made often, and has always melt with ctmternpt — especially fro husbands. Perhaps at first glen‘ it does seem illogical to ask lor more money for women who al- ready have too much. But, apart! from the vague idea of "personal freedom.” it is the idea of self- earned money which fascinates wo- nien. Why not? This country has made money its yardstick of per- sonal ivortli, and why should wives be the only people excluded from trying lo measure their value by it? A woman should be paid by her liusliaiiti in (roporiioii in llPl" eotiipctciice, and lo tlit- aiiiotitit of work and res-ponsibility she as- sumes. In most cases 25 percent. of tier husband's income WOlllCl be fair. This arrangement would offer a fair chance to all those misun- derstood women who feel that early marriage and lack of self- cxpre&ion have denied them busi- ness career. It would -also give them a chance to decide how much they wanted to pay for taeir .)\\'.] lfiZilKkS, or their desire for ex- cessive entertainment, They would certainly not Le forced to clo work for which they gInuiiiely had no talent. -- Sibyl Peech, in the At- lantic Monthly.

, it is heartening to know that mere are people the Unified state: who see with perfect clear- nesg the m r the conflict in Europe and who would place 1w limit. on the assistance given to the British Commonwealth v the Uni- ted Slates. The able and Spirited address of Col. Henry Breckenridge, broadcast by CBC on Sunday even- iris, excellently maintained the quality of these weekly addressee on "racing the Facts."

Col. Breckenridge was de- claring at Ottawa that there could be no real peace until Hltierism was destroyed, it was fitting that Herbert Morrison, Minister of Sup- piv in the British Government, was iiubliclv stating that the production of war simples was planned with a view to a world offensive when the moment came Once the immediate peril was passed, he said they would look forward "to a s eadily

Eleeforal Dissent

(Exchange)

The result of the polling in the Federal by-elections which took place on Monday must. surely be construed by the King Ministry as clear evidence of widespread dis- satisfaction wlth the manner in which Canada's war effort is being administered. In Carleton, Ontario, the Government entered no candl- date. learinz the contest to the Conservatives and the New Democ- racy movement. The outcome was the election cf the Conservative candidate, G. Russell Boucher. with a 4 to i advantage over his oppon- ent. In Waterloo North, a Liberal fortress of long standing, which re- turned Hon. W. D. Euler last March bv a 4 to 1 and an 8.000 maioritv, the vote stood 8.8400 for L. O. Brett- liaupt, the Liberal candidate. and 5,415 for Di‘. Leavine. his Conser- vative opponent. This is the best

Conservative showing in over 20 years. In Saskatoon, A‘derman A. H. Bence carried the sea, for the Conservatives in a six-handed con- test. Miss Agnes Macphail being the nearest runner-up, and M.P. Hayes, Liberal. a poor third, the balance of the vote being scattered among three Independents of various de- siunations.

_It._is bareiv a year since the be- Elllliiiil! of the war. and less than five months since Mr. King sud- rleniv dissolved Parliament and a - pealed to the countrv under condi- tions which suggested to a majority of the electors that a Ministerial defeat. would be interpreted in Ger- many as an anti-war declaration by the Canadian people, At such a relatively early stage in the crest conflict. in which Canada is in- volved one would naturaliy expect the lair-elections t.) register increas- inz confidence in the Government. Especially so soon after the general election sweep. A Ministerial defeat in anv by-electlon in the first two vcars of‘ the last Great War was never once registered. Every anneal ma.e_ in the earlv staizes of that conflict showed mounting strength in the Borden Government's grip of the constituencies. The reverse is now happening.

This contrast is not without its significance. The messa e from these Canadian cons! tuencles, widespread as thev are across the Dcminlori, is that the people of Can- nda are not satisfied with the war record of the Administration led by Mr. Mackenzie King. There can be no room for doubt or debate on that point. The decline in "the Govern-

orphans and leavimz out tiic next- of-kin. It is some excuse, but. not a complete one, to argue that Can- ada. does not expect them to be orphaned and ls very busy seeing to it that; they shall not be — which none of the neighbours are doing But seriously, it will not be possible for Canada to stay out of thzse New World confabs much longer, and she should be trying even now to work out a line of policy to be pursued in them. — Toronto Sat.- urday Night.
