It was the expression “where we ordinarily live" that I thought was worth a second- thought,

Now the condition of our stom- ach, liver, intestine, circulation, can all have a. tremendous bearing upon our outlook on life because the cells of the brain, and. the brain gives us our outlook on life, must be nourished, and wastes removed, hy- the blood that circulates throughout the body. And this blood will be just what a. goodl liver, a good intestine, good teeth, and good heart will make it, or it can be the reverse if these organs are not doing their work properly.

A healthy individual is usually a hopeful individual.

This writer says "Most of us do not laugh enough; do not play enough; do not see enough visions.”

How can anyone laugh, play, ‘or see visions if his or her body is not doing its work lproperly?

And yet it is only too true that when an individual gets a real hold

the improvements already made, such as ‘lengthening the side-track ‘from five to twelve cars capacity; putting in the twocnd switch: building a loading ramp for the convenience or produce shippers; raising the present station to bring the floor on a level with waggons and motor trucks for convenience in handling hezwy freight. These are improvements which are of no small value, oven to the speakers. True. the railway has not granted every request made by some ship- rpers and factions. but we must bear in mind that the officials judg- ment as railroad men has placed them in their present responsible positions. and although they are over open for suggestions re. im- provements, it is not in order for their patrons to dictate to them, it is impossible for them to grant every demand made of them; Santa Claus can‘l. do that.

I agree that present conditions in regard to the station building at Carleton Siding are bad. and as Hon. A. E. MacLean remarked, we have been a long suffering people, and i think it only right and pro- per that we should protest and en- deaivor to our utmost ‘to have the conditions improved. ‘but at the same time. why not give credit where credit is due, and show a little gratitude for the improve- ments we already enjoy.

country, need them to infuse new blood in our veins, for in too many sections of the province stagnation has set in. We have followed the customs of our grandfathers; we have not changed with the change of the times and we have worn out a groove for ourselves out of which it is extremely difficult to extricate

ourselves.

To the immigrant. whether an employee or the purchaser of n farm, we must learn to extend not only neighborly hospitality but sympathy and kindly assistance. we must learn to regard them as acquisitions to our communty and province. Their ways, naturally, are not our ways. They have been trained in a different environment and under different methods. Many of them may ilnd it difllcult to adapt themselves to the new condi- tlons but tactful and sympathetic help will eventually overcome their prejudices against the new ways.

We must not forget that every

immigrant who has come or shall’

come to this province has been in- duced to come. He has been per- suaded by our representations and by our Immigrant Agents, often perhaps by over-colored pictures of the possibilities here, to invest in a farm or to take up employment on a farm in the prospect of event-

University oi Alberta. told the Wo- men's Canadian Club at Ottawa this week. Commenting on this the Sydney Post says: The idea is an excellent one; The difficulty is that right here we are faced with one of those circular puzzles which are constantly confronting us. One of our real problems is to keep Cana- da's brains at home to solve Cana- da's problems. Too great a propor- tion of them, at present, drift south- ward across the international boun- dary where they engage themselves in solving the problems of a busi- ness rival. Detroit. one of the most rapidly developing of American cities, is said to have more Cana- dlans in its population than any Canadian city outside Montreal and Toronto; and it is reported about Boston that there are more Nova Scotlans in the New England States than there are in Nova Sco- tla. Quite evidently the Canadian brains that remain at home will have to work overtime if they are to accomplish the task President Tory would set them.

abolition of titles in Canada which was shared by some newspapers was that on-ly hereditary titles were placed under the ban. The Ottawa Journal corrects this mis- take and quotes the resolution passed by Parliament at Ottawa in i918. The resolution in brief prays that His Majesty may be gracious- ly pleased:-

(a) To refrain hereafter from conferring any title of honor or titular distinction upon any of your subjects domiciled, or ordln~ arlly resident in Canada. .

'(b) To provide . . . by legislation or otherwise to en- sure the extinction of an heredi- tary 'tltle of honor, or titular dis- tinction, and of a dignity or title as a. ‘Peer of the realm, and that thereafter n0 such title . . shall be used by any person or be recognised.

Upon the resolution of the Cans- dlan Parliament the King has act- ed since 1918 and has refrained from conferring either hereditary or non-hereditary titles upon Cana- dians who are residents within the Dominion. llt is quite clear that all classes of titles above referred to are practically prohibited. There are some persons prominent in Canadian public life who favor the restoration of the former order of things, owing to changed conditions since 1918. These include those who first moved for the restriction. and also such noteworthy person- ages as iPremler Ferguson oi 0r.- tario and Premier Rhodes of Nova Scotia.

in 1727 a 20 per'cen't income tax was imposed on those deriving their income in ‘Ireland and living in iEngland. In 1782 the tax was I0 per cent, and produced $315,000, which shows that the income with- drawn zmust have been reckoned at $3,150,000 per annum. This situat- ion was considered so serious that nations and their Parliaments have been wrought up about it. The storm lasted twvo hundred and fifty years. until the British Parliament recently introduced remedial mea- sures. Canada's absentee Landlords withdraw about $350,000,000 from Canada every year and some of our leading men are asking them to in- crease it. Economists have agreed that i_t was a detriment to Ireland. Have economic Iprlnclples been made to bend to our supposed nec- cesslty? Were economists right in saying that the withdrawal of $3.- 150,000 was a detriment? And are they still right if they say that to withdraw one hundred and eleven times as much from Canada is a blessing? Were John Stuart. Mill
