ised that there would be no further reduction of duties, every Liberal newspaper and every Liberal ora- tor hailed the promise as the salva- tiolllof-Canada. it. was the one thing needed; tariff stability was new assured. l, Today almost every Liberal newspaper and almost every Lib- eral orator is scclaiming the new tariff tinkering and the new re- ductions with all their promise of continued Instability as the great- eat achievement in the political history of Canada. What are tho ﬁsople to think of it? _ Where do Canada and the Inter- ests of Canada come in in this poi-

" itical game that is being played

before their eyes’! if similar dis-

_ honour and similar trickery were

shown In a hockey match or a game of football. the actors would be booted off the ice or off the field.‘ But such is the political game at present belng'played in Canada. A minority party is hold- lug office by exchanging its prfa- ciples for the support of a. party whose interests are largely sec- tiohal ‘and at variance with those offthe great majority of Canadians.

NOTES BY THE WAY

Whore are wo at as regards Im- migration‘! The question forces itself upon the minds of all thoughtful Csnadlans- On the onc-

hand we are told that Canada must have more people. We havﬂ abundance of land on which to sct- tlo them, great natural resources which they are expected to assist. in developing. We need immigr- ants to make more traffic for our railways, to help lighten the bur- den of debt and taxation, already grown too heavy for our scant mil- lion to carry. Leaders oi all par- ties are agreed on political grounds that Canada needs more people. Sir Henry Thornton and his Board of Directors are agreed that more people must be bad to make the National Railways pay and so solve the National Railway pro- blem-

ln the past Canada has _spsnt many millions of dollars to bring immigrants to her shores. Much of that aggregate was unwisely spent to bring in Doukhobors, who went crazy on our hands, and Mennonites and other foreign tribes who would not stay with us. There

are not a few undcsirablcs among’ those who have come and have

stayed, but fortunately these have been comparatively few when off- set by the many who have come‘ and stayed and made good cli- izens. But nlost unfortunately

Canada has been through several

decades past afflicted with an ex- odlls that has in frequent years ex-

ceeded the number of settlers which the Dominion has obtained from abroad. ‘This is the gravest problem of all. It cannot be ignor- ed when the question of gaining and retaining people for our vast areas of vacant lands is being con- sidered. '

A THOUGHT 0F CANCER

that dread disease cancer.

least one death in seven after tlhe age of thirty is due to cancer.

As mentioned in a previous ar- ticle. millions of dollars are spent annually in searching for the cause.

lit is admitted that injury of some kind often starts the cells t0 multipply, and yet a severe injury to the part is seldom the cﬂusc.

It would appear as if some slight irritation. continued for s. 1W5 time, is really t-he cause.

And yet, as a celebrated British surgeon has stated, “no cancer can start i-f the cells of the body are healthy. .

He maintains that something gets into the aysten. that poisons the blood. "lllle blood as it circulates throughout tlhe tissues carries this poison with it. As it. reaches the delicate C8lls covering the gland or lining of an organ, it lowers the tone of these cells. T-hese cells are then irrlfated lby some sub- stance, or by pressure, and imme- diately start to multiply. thus form- ing a cancer.

And where does he think tlllis comes from?

tinny, from tile large intestine. the corllan that is conveying U! waste matter of the intestine out of the body. v

He states tlllat our manner-of liv. ing is such that this llitBBlllli? 15 not encouraged to move its con-_ tents along. and the waste matter remains in the system long enough for the lblood to absorb tile pol-ions of the waste matter into itself. ‘Now this Idea of the stasis -— stopp.1ge-or laziness of the intes- tine, as being responsible for a 10l- 01 qroublo in the body, has been ileld by many physicians for years. ‘We now have this famous sur- lgeon, Sir Armlltlbnot Lane’ attribut- ing cancer t0 this cause. | 1n tlhe absence oi‘ any other lknoﬁvn cause, this is worth think. illg about. -

They are, still under the Stars and Stripes, just as those who have gone from our Eastern and Central Provinces to the Prairie Provinces and British Col- umbia are still under the Union Jack. The exodlans from Canada have migrated to a foreign land.

For six years Frau Ebert has |malntained her position as first lady of Germany with quiet dis- tinction. Neither Monarchists nor Liberals have been able to under- mine tlle presidential family.

They always have lived in great simpli- city and so they continue to live- They have neither the means nor the desire to take on any of the glitter which formerly character- ized the palace 0n Wilhedmstrasse. which now serves as the president- ial home, and the sober-minded German public apparently respects them very generally for the sane example they set forapubllc which is going through bitter trials.
