Our Water Supply

' It must have come as a surprise to i most of our citizens that the in- adequacy of our water supply had bqon qigaging ths attention of the City Council. Oi recent months there has been too much secrecy about the transactions of the City Councillors. Hols and corner meetings are held, "gagged" debates take place, and de- - cisions arrived at about which tho ratepayers know, little or nothing whatever, and still have to foot the bills. 'I‘hs City Council is a public body and its transactions ought to be discussed in the open, and no special meetings should be held without the press - the guardians oi the public intcrests—bein8 advised of them, the public thus being given an opportun- ity of being represented. What the City Council needs most oi all is a. little opposition in its ranks. It is not good for the Council or ior the ratc- paysrs, that the Council should tran- sact its business in camera. without . free and open discussions so that the’ electors may know where their rep- resentatives stand, and what care is being exercised over public funds. In the matter oi this proposed new expenditure on water works involving a capital outlay oi at least $125,000.

and an additional annual taxation oi $8,000, there is diflerence of opin-

ions about its ecessit . ‘rho Water Commissioners claim that the domestic consumption of water is in-i creasing at such a rate that unless’ additional supply is obtained, there

will be serious danger in the event of

outbfeaks oi lire. It is ths Water! Commissioners’ duty to for-see this’ andlto provide ior it, aha they us‘

doing so in ths manner suggested. But responsible men. consider that our shortage is largely due to gross wasto ofour

domestic supply, and that if comer-s vation measures were resorted to.‘

there would be no need for this ad-‘ ditionai incubus. It is suggested that a far more economt and effective m would be to introduce metcrs for domestic and manufacturers sup- plies and that would compel consum- ers to economize in their own inter- ests. This is an important matter and deserves-the serious considera- tion and v ' oi all , citizens, and should not be rushed through without the adequate weigh- ing oi the pros and cons.

An Old Peoples’ Home

Legislation is being sought for the incorporation of a body oi represen- titive citizens to establish and carry

' on a Home for aged ladies who are § abls to pay in whois or in part for i their board. This is a very necessary institution for Protestants and will

correspond with the Sacred Heart

too far out from the centre of the city; on the other hand it must be borne in mind that the corporation. would be building for the future as well as the present, and before very long there will be buildings right out to the lower St. Petcr’: Road, as the centre of the City ls steadily going north-east.

It will not be many years before St. Avards and all the territory between that and the River will be included within the city limits. If the gentle- ment about to be incorporated are men oi vision, as undoubtedly they are, they will give this aspect of the project their careful consideration, and no doubt invite the opinions of others regarding the best plan and policy to pursue.

Mr. K ingfs Couelsm.

0n the completion of the agree- ment for the surrender of its natural resources to Saskatchewan a couple of weeks ago, Premier King made this astounding t:

“The four Western Provinces now have their resources, and the Maritime Provinces have had their difficulties adjusted, so that the whole country has had its problems aired and attention giveri to them."

Mr. King's faith in auto-suggestion is supreme, ii heiimagines that these reitrations of the unreal will make it real. The most important oi the Maritime claims still remain unad- justed, three and a half years after the report of ths nova! Commission that translated them into adjudicat- ed rights. The reassessment of Mari- time subsidies recommended in ths Duncan Report has not yet been

Liberals and dclcits go hand in hand. Tho Saunders Government have gone behind approximately a quarter of a million dollars in one year; and the late Liberal Govern- ment of Saskatchewan were respons- ible for a deficit there of $400,000. In reporting the deficit, the Saskatche- wan Provincial ‘Pleasures said unsatisiac‘ y crop conditions last season wis partly ths rwan, but the deficit was caused "mainly byithe policy oi the former govern- ment in allowing political consider- ations to influence ts policy affect- ing expenditures to too great a de-

Such a riot of unauthorized expen- diture has never heretofore been heard tell. In almost every depart- ment the estimates have beeneir- ceeded, and it looks as though oflic- ials and ministers had a free hand to spend what they liked without let or hindrance on the part of the Government.

In speaking to a service club one noon hour, I dwelt for a few minutes upon the effects oi constipation. 1 tried to point out that a constipatcd individual was tired before he startod out in the morning; in fact he was tired all the time. ‘

This meant that before the day was over he wanted to quit work. If a traveller he would amit the last cou- ple of calls ahd use the telephone in- stead.

Because absorption into the blood

of wastes oi intestines, is practically the same as wastes from hard work.

They are poisons.

My idea was to show the handicap under which the most willing indivi- dual lived, if he were constipated. I told them that I believed that half of those who consulted me gave a his- tory of constipation.

A voiumsbsasing this titis,_from the pen o! lit-Col. W. G. MacKend- rick, D. S. 0., (Commonwealth Pub- lishers, Toronto) is to hani- 111s publication actually deals with three subjects. a project for the co-oper- ative policing of the seas, a consid- eration oi the war debts to the Unit- edStates, and a presentation of the fascinating Anglo-Israel theory. Ne- cessarily then it is somewhat discurs- ivs, but against this we can put the factthatthereisnctadulllinein the whole book. The author, whose iine profile, (instinct with soldisrly qualities temps by a genial dispo- sition lnd a sense of humor that not seldom creeps into his writings) adorns ths frontispieca oi this work, has already achieved s. literary rs- putaticn u an exponent oi the Anglo Israel theory, which by the way was a strong point with the late Queen Victoria. That sovereign believed she was of lineal descent from David the son of Jesse. and the chart in our book reveals David, Prince pf wales, as the hundredth in line from that Monarch.

Briefly, the theory is as an equa- tion: what nation fulfils all the con- ditions as to the existence oi Israel

At the close of my talk a physic- ian oi a large city clinic, where a number oi physicians were grouped , together, came over and said. "You ‘didn't stress the harm of constipa-

tion euough, and as a matter of fact we find in our clinic that 70 per cent of the patients are constipated."

And all over the civilised world constipation is prevalent.

And yet just a little thought, and

constipation would be limited to those ' who are bedridden. Ii you are constipated and have no

They were to be planted in an Island home, somewhere N. W. of Palestine (Isa. xxiv, xii, xlix ct al). ,'i‘hey would so increase that the land would be too small for them (Isa. xiix). They would colonize the deso- late heritages, causing the deserts to "blossom as the rose" (Isa. xxvii.) and develop into a nation and a ‘company oi nations" (Gen. xxxv.) They were to possess the gate oi their enemies (Gen. xxii.) and a glance at the map oi the world will tell us what nation fulfils this condi- ‘ion. They were to be a blessing to .111 the families of the earth (Micah 5) and one oi their special duties was the suppression oi slavery and tyr

With a party in power holding such lax views, and exercising such loose control over the nuances nothing but

made.’ _ In his complacent announcement

the Sydney Post, the Premier adds misrepresentation- to neglected duty and insult to the denial of justice.

A correspondent in the Publ‘ ‘Por- um the other day raised the legal query whether a drunk man was a

law and liable to conviction for having liquor in his possession. Cur- iously encugh the question has been decided in the United States. Ac- cording to ths New York Herald-Tri- bune: A gentleman was convicted in Tennessee recently of the unlawful possession of liquor. He had drunk the liquor before his arrest and therefore had it inside him. or so the evidence against him was construed. In any case, the judge held that this constituted possession within ths meaning of ths law, though why he did not also consider it transportation is not altogether clear. Perhaps transportation under the circum- stances bad been automatically in- hibited.

The defendant appealed his con- visilon to tbs supremo Court oi the mo; which has 11M reversed it: lmndiag down a learned decision that possedcn when it is’ wholly "inter- nal" dose not come within the stat- ute. ‘nislupresao Court seems to have tabla ccgnisaaco at the iamcu precedent sstabiisbsd many years ago in the following manner: ' ' com» (csiiiru upstairs to the been: "Is llr.
