The arguments put forth in favor of the vegetable diet or the meat diet all have their logical point: and Likewise their illogical points, but the outstanding nutrition ewerta of today all advise a mind diet which iricludaa both rneata and vegetables.

The ideal diet for man 1a now be- lleved to be in the proportion of 1 part of meat and cgga to 2 parts fats, to 4 parts etarchea and vege- tables. Where hard phyaieal work is done the amount of meat and eggs may be increased

After all, it is the equipment the body has to handle food that really e. factor in determining the proper amounts of the various food stuffs should be eaten.

The stomach is a good else and when fully distended by food will hold three pints of fcod. rr nothing i but green stuffs like spinach, cab- bage. nr lettuce were eaten, the stomach would hardly be large enough.

Similarly with the intestine. 1f man were to eat nothing but the vegetables or green foods eaten by animals, his lntertlne would not be long enough to properly abeofb the food into the blood. Thua we find that animals that live on a vege- table diet have an intestine that 1s fifteen times the length of the body. whereas animals that live on meats have an intestine that in onlythrce

' times the length of the body.

0n our side of the llne the Prime Minister has made it clear that be is ready to consider nothing less than a. trade treaty with the neigh- boring country that will be fair to Canada. He has added that he will not sacrifice Canadian agricultur- ists to unbridled competition from the cheaper farm products of the United States. But even with such a necessary restriction there i! ample room outside the agreements for a new and mutually profitable commercial treaty with our friends to the south of the in- ternational border.

. You can thus see that as meat is more concentrated, doesn't take up. so much room, it is quickly absorbed into the blood.

What about man?

The length of the intestine in man is about 5 to 6 times the length of his body.

What does this, or what should this mean?

This means that as his intestine is much shorter than the herb or vegetable eating animal and much longer than the meat eating animal, he should eat less of the green stufl and less ofthe meat than these two ldnds of animals.

In fact it simply means that man should do what he ls already doing, that is living on a mixed diet of meats and eggs, fats, vegetables and

If man just eats this mixed diet daily, making sure of a little raw fruit or vegetables daily, he may. rest named that hil dict is cor- rect. ,

Christianity And Patriotism

(Lord Hugh Cecil in the London Spectator)

The quutlon how far war can be justified on Christian prlnclplu is, to be sure, a very old one. But un- til the late war made the question urgent. 1t was more or leea avoided and not brought thoroughly w an lane. It bu generally seemed suf- ficient to lnelat that war can only be justified if it be delenllve; and it baa been reasonably argued that a defensive war 1a nicely the use of force to defend other: from wrong. But this, though true. eo far

Ior this iustlflcatlonit must be ahown that all these acts are truly defensive or, more generally. neces- sary to hinder the comrniaaion of acme grave wrong. We went to war in 1914 in defence of Belgium and trance against a wrongful IIINI- aion, and in defence of our own people against the danger of that aggression succeeding. But the war continued for four years, and on locking back on ft, it eeems diffi~ cult to deny I dld not

The nearest example akin t0 it 1n modern times 1e probably furnished in the life of Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, and even e0. with all her many excellenciee, it can hardly be said that Mrs. Gladstone was as prominent 1n benenclent work for the public at large as: was the Marchlonesa of Aberdeen. The service oi’ the Aberdeens was es- sentially founded on a complete sense of self-effacemerrt. The Earl of Aberdeen‘; invincible modest-y, krdecd, was inclined to lead the less discerning into estimating his intellectual attainments under their real value. But there was never any student of hLs career who could fail to realize that throughout his 1cm: life he was guided by nothing bu; a humble aspiration to do good in ivhatever lphere he might be :;.l.:l unto.

Lord Aberdeen came to Canada at a dimcuit point tn the Domin- iculw liulvry. 1893. The Conserva- tive party had been in power_'o:" years under Sir John A. Macden- aid. But this statesman had died two years before and the ruling lpflfty was weakened and disorgan- ized. sir John Abbott's brief term as prime minister was followed by the premiership of Bu‘ John Thompson. who ln turn was suc- ceeded after two years by Sir Mhc- kenzle Bowell in 1894. The party remained without strong leadership until 1t turned to Sir Charles Tup- per on his return in 189d from a term. as high commissioner in 1m- dcn. In 1896 Dominion politica were again stormy with the Maul- toba separate school question. Bir Wilfrid Laurier. holding the view that the province: should have

Ivlay. 10rd Aberdeen’: selection for the governor-general- shlp came as no surprise, for both Lady Aberdeen and himself had long displayed the keencst inter- est ln the development, especially by way of colonimtion. of the oversees parts of the Empire.

In 1905 Lord Aberdeen entered upon a second term as Lord Lieu- tenant of Ireland, a term which was to extend to the "v lcug priiid of 10 years. He was rwmmcndcd for appoint t by Bl: Henry Qampbell-Barinermau, who had only lust come to the Premiership after the great- vic- tory of the Liberal party at the pclls, Lord Aberdeen. in his pure- ly political outlook, had always taken Gladstone as hie great ex- ample. His appointment to the Irish vlceroyalty was a reasonable one. n, wee 1n their constant en- deavor to ameliorate the social conditions of the Irish pepole that Lord and lAdy Aberdeen showed their qualltlu in their moet graci- ous stage during their long stay 1n Ireland. Lady Aberdeen worked de- votedly for such organizations as the Irish Induatriea Association. the Women’; National Health Ae- aociatiou. and on behalf of organ- inatlune for combating the ravages of tuberculosis. Lord Aberdecns gentle influce was of immense service in aseuaglng passion at such times of domqtlc crisis as the Dub- lin railway strike. When his term of emu closed there were petitions from public bodies all over Ireland. particularly Southern Ireland, that he should remain. This was not pos- slble on many accounts but Lord Aberdeen never lcet his regard for the Irish and their welfare. on leaving Ireland Lord Aberdeen was created a Marquis, the honor being conferred 1n recognition of his long term as Viceroy.
