ness was well maintained. Employment has been increasing and the relief rolls have been further reduced. Production in almost every- thing except when: was substantially larger this summer than last and carloatliiigs, again exclud- ing wheat, have recorded appreciable gains. Eix- ports have continued to rise, albeit at a slower rate, and the tourist trade has been considerably greater than a year ago. The value of imports has been increasing at an accelerating pace, part- ly through higher prices and partly in response to improving living standards and greater activ- ity in heavy industries.

This favorable situation is qualified by one or two disturbing (lcvclopniciits with important implications for tltc future. For one thing, the market outlook for lunibcr has become less fav- ourable as a. result of the high rates for ocean shipping and of weakness in British demand. Another development has been the increase in newsprint stocks, which though easily con- trollable has demonstrated that the much-discuss- cd potential shortage of capacity is not yet itrgciit. In addition, tltc sharp declines in the prices of base ittctals will reduce anticipated profits of certain iniiics and may lcad to some contrnctioii- itt copper otttpiit.

Into this picture is now injected the more im- portant question, ls American business due for a substantial recession? If so, business in Can- ada will decrease, though such a decline would tend to be less drastic than across the border so long as business remains active iti Britain. If there should bc nicrcly a pause or a moderate setback in a rising trend. which from present indications appears more liltcly. tlit-ti, it is point- ed out, the otttlook-for business remains reason- ably good.

No person with n reuonnhle share of intelligence and human sympathy will flnd anything either to deplore or to laugh at; tn the suggestion of a speaker at the New Education Fellowship conference tn Adelaide that adolescent girls should be al- loweo a period for day-dreaming. Frequent. relaxation ts as necessary for the mtnd as for the muscles. Just as the eyes fnstrictfvely seek the reatfulneas of the beauty of out- doors as a relfef from indoor con- centration, so the soul seeks to wander idly in the realm of imagin- ation. Nor should the boon be res- meted to schoolgirls. Everyone would be the better for giving the mind brief but frequent periods of ireedom from reglmentatton. Hum- anity la not. yet free from the old inhibition that it ts an intellectual sin to permit, the mind to wander.- Melbourne Angus.

Japan wnnts to reestablish co- operation with China. It. has ad- opted n curious means of doing 50.; C-in the Japanese war loivls rcnllyl expect that. their actions in bomb- t’ tng cities to pieces, slaughtering j non-combatants and overruniiingj large areas of the country will flii the Chinese wth an eager spirit, of} co-operation? A curious sidelight on the Chinese sense of honor mean- while has appeared. Despite all the

outrages and indignities being suf- , feted at Japanese hands, the Cliin- i ese government is continuing pay- ment of fLs debt to Tokyo, for re- demption of loaigs and Boxer re- belfon fndemnties. That. so peace- ful and scrupulous a people has at last been roused to fierce resistance show how enormous and unbearable the invaders aggravation has be- come.—5t. Louis Past, Dispatch.

A: one way to peace, Sir Edward Beatty, chairman of the Canadian Pacific Railway, recommends the adoption of “saner economic policies and the resumption of immigra- tion." His prescription is a wise one ,for there can be no doubt that lntematfonal friction tins been in- creased by the raising of notional barriers against. trade and the clos- ing of national frontiers against immigration. Many of these res- trictions on the free movement of goods and persons are reeictaons from the last war. It fomerited the passions of narrow nationalism and ttiere are bearing shrtvelled and barren fruit in many lands today. Thus the War has poisoned the peace; the Armistic ended the mill- bary war, but; the economic war was intensified, producing the conditions leading on to further mlttary hos- tlZities.—Auck1end News.

Lord Tweedsmui hands out. the dlctum-—aiid far be it from us to contradict. hfml-thal; the future of the Northwest Territories is vested in the aeroplane. Recently he drew a picture of the Canadian north- land as a region of comparatively small industrial centres, of stretches of land wh'ch are seasonably high- ly fertile; of small commiuitttes, un- connected by roads or railway with the outside world, yet. by no means isolated. He predicted, as others have done, of course, that. in a short. time aerial transportation would become cheaper, and no less efficient. Lord Tweedsmuir, most modern of His Majesty's representa- tives to Canada, can sec more clear- ly than most the straws ‘n the wind. -ffamilton Spectator.

What Japan can hope to get. out of this war is still a question un- answered. Thus fur the results have" been negative and detrimental to her national prestige and trade. It. has, for instance, been estimated, and we think somewhat conserve.- tively, that the commercial losses swilained by Japan in China alone amount to $5,000,000 per day. As favourable trade agreements are based on goodwill as between con- tracting nations, the Japanese commercial losses throughout the world must by now have reached a. fabulous total. We know, for in- stance. from personal information that in Australia there is virtually a boycott of all Japanese goods. In Britain and America. where feel- ing is mounting against Japan as never before. it ls not: to be prcsiim- ed that. trade with Japan will be stimulated by a continuation of‘ her present. policy. By setting the world lose. Surely she can see the writing against rier she has everything to on the walll-Hong Kong News.

Italy has won her enripire. The League cannot take ft. from her. nor

empire and enjoying it are two dif- ferent things-as Italy is find ng. S0 far, the Italians have no more than scratched the surface of Abys- sinia. Beyond the parts they occupy lie vast tracts of hills and forests which have still to be penetrated against hosilie trlbcs. Military pent-- trailon or conciliation vtill take years: Commeroal exploitation miiv - take generations. To make Abysslnla. a home for Italy's surplus millions. a source of raw materials for Italian industry, and ii market for Italian manufacture is a task that. must tib- sorb Italian energy and wealth for a long time to come. If Italy is to do ft she would be wise to still the Mediterranean storm and to stii- bilze. by the "Rome-Benin axis" or otherwise, the peace of her part of Europe-Glasgow Herald.

with you, nourish you, and keep the bowel regular.

'I'hat is, the average healthy normal individual can eat iiill kind: of foods to his benefit. Hewett: there are different types o! tn- dividuals-tlie sluggish. the normal or active, and the overalert or overactive.

The digestive apparatus of these three types so differ from one another that. a food that. 1n one type of individual ls just. rough enough to “stlmulatae" the mus- cular coat of the large intestine and cause it; to squeeze the wastes downward and out. of the body. may be so rough to the intestine in another individual that the muscular coat is greatly "irrltated“ and closes the bowel so tightly. creating a spasm or spastic condi- tion of the muscles so that at certain places the wastes cannot pass thus cntising what tvknown as “spustic" constipation.

You can thus see tital: fruits and vegetables with their seeds and hard fibrous ]')fiI‘lS——])NllligS, ccrcs. liiirrl parts of cabbage and cauli- floiver-nre excellent foods for the sluggish bowel. iii that. they stim- ulate and also irritate the muscular part of the bowel just; enough tn cause it to move the wastes along and prevent. constipation.

A certain amount. of these rough foods should tilso be eaten daily by normal healthy tn- ritvlduitl. But. the high strung, | nervous type, in whose bowel rough . foods cause spasms, should ovoid z these f00(ls or eat them in very small quantities.

In other words, constipation may be due to a. lazy liver and gall bladder, to a. lazy bowel. or to an ovcractivity of the lower bowel (spasm) which causes the bowel to resemble the inner tube of an automobile tit-e where some parts l are small (spasms) and other parts enlarged.

The spastic type of individual or individual with spastic type of bowel should therefore eat. more oily foods and liquids. and not much rough foods,
