If there were the slightest element x of truth in the oft-repeated allega- tion in the Liberal press that the Bennett policies are detrimental to Canada's economic interests, one would expect to see it reflected in the above quoted figures. On the contrary, however, it ls evident that improvement of conditions in this country in the past year has been little short of amazing.

CUT FEDERAL COSTS

Undler the direction of Hon. W. A. Gordon, Acting Minister of Immigration and Coloniza- tion, recent years have seen a sharp contraction in respect to the search for settlers outside the Dominion, but a correspondingly notable in- crease 1r; efforts to provide for nativeborn Canadians and others who had made this their adopted country during better clays.

Some interesting figures are published by the Ottawa Journal with respect to immigration and colonization. When the economic situation demanded that easy im- migration cease the attention of the department was turned to colonization. with the cooperation of the C. P. R. and C. N. R. and other organized bodies, the de- partment and railways, between October 1, 1930, and June 30 I934, placed 31,199 single men on farm Jobs and 14,029 families on the land, and also cal-operated under the relief settlement scheme in the locating of another 3,107 families

CUTTING DOWN ON FOOD DOESN'T CURE ALL CASES OF OVERWEIGIIT

“It is going too far to maintain, as some do, that all cases of abesity (overweight) can be cured by diet alone, since the word “cure" implies that the patient ls left in normal health, whereas starvation of a pat- ient with some forms of endocrine (gland) overweight leaves ium weak but still possessing much watery fat."

The point of course is that to try to reduce weight by diet alone in a case where the thyroid gland in the neck or the pituitary gland in the bass of the skull are not doing their work properly and so allowing fat to accumulate, is wrong. The patient loses some weight but becomes so weak that there ls great risk to health and to life itself.

These gland cases. though few in number, definitely need the gland extract ll the patient is to be re- duccd satisfactorily and safely.

This doesn't mean that these "gland" cases should not have the starchy foods and liquids somewhat rcduccd, but it docs mean that re- ductioQ-‘in foods and liquids only will

not br‘ g results.

Wha about the use of gland ex- tracts inthe ordinary cases of over- weight where the excess fat is due to overeating and underexercising? Cases have been reported in Boston,

Philadelphia and other cities, where the use of the thyroid gland extract in these cases has brought about chronic ill health-rapid heart, slccplcssness, nervousness and indig- cstlon.

Where dict alone should be used, that is in the usual cases of over- weight, just a. little less food than ls needed should bc given. This means that some of the fat on and in the body will get used to supply this need, and so weight will be gradually lost.

In a general way meat, eggs and fish should be eaten in the usual amounts; butter, cream, fat meats, potatoes, bread, sugar, salt and all liquids should be reduced by one- half ;and plenty of fruit and vege- tablcs-particularly green vegetables -should be eaten to supply minerals and vitamins and to give enough "bulk" to the diet that constipation is avoided.

Meat gives a "satisfied" feeling and prevents overeating; bulky foods —-cabbaizc, celery, lettuce, spinach- make the stomach feel that it has “oi-tough" food, and so less heavy food with high food value is eaten.
