Maritime Provinces Associations are ‘ becoming powerful magnets in the Central Provinces, attracting the pro- ducts of the provinces by the sea to the inland markets. As has been pointed out so dbly by

halde Commissioner Burnaby and!

Professor MacPhee during the past lew days. there is a. practically un- limited market in the growing cen- tral and western provinces, particul- ariyior food products grown on Mari- time farms ‘and in Maritime waters. The Central Provinces are expanding It a tremendous rabe inimetallurgio- aland coal mining as well as indus- tfial activities. Thus vast areas, com- prising the richest mining districts in the world, will attract million} of peo- pla who must be fed by the agricultur- a.l provinces. and in this the Maritime Provinces cannot iail to be partici- pant.“

Also they seized upon the northlands adjoining them, which belonged as much to us u to them. and made Ontario iive times as big as it was be- fore and Quebec seven times as bil as it had been when we entered the Union.

Did they think of paying the Mari- times for their share? Nor, at all. In good Roosevelt fashion, they wanted the territory and, having the power they took it. The entire area oi the Marltimes, some 50,000 square miles, is insignificant in siu compared with the territory thus ravished, and less rich in mineral and forest weath.

Under these conditions the Mari- times stagnated for half a century.‘ Warned by our fate Newfoundland has steadily refused to Join the !Canadian Union and has prospered by her refusal.

BTABOIIY FOOD

You are the ordinary healthy indi- viduai at work every day, and have nothing to complain oi from a. health standpoint.

However you rind that you have frequently a pain in the abdomen which while distressing at times, is ‘hardly worth a visit to your doctor.

metlmes the pain seems to be “under the heart," at other times it is at the same point on the other side oi the body under the liver.

1t may also be down on the lower right side of abdomen in the region oi the appendix and you quite natur- ally have a little suspicion that it may be appendicitis.

Again it may be on the lower left side of abdomen, or it may even be lust uhder the middle part oi ab- domen.

There is one outstanding point about the pain however and that is that it seems to shift about to and from these different points in the abdomen.

Your abdomen feels greatly dis- tended and there is a considerable amount of "gurgling" which you rightly attribute to gas.

Perhaps you will be constipated for a few days and then there will be diarrhoea following this. You are thus unable to figure out whether or not you need a purgative medicine, for just about the time you determine to take a purgative, the diarrhoea com- mences.

Now what is the matter’!

Dr. Ii. S. lmnery, Jr., tells us that it is the failure of the digestive appara- tus to pro, digest the starches in the food thairbrings about the above symptoms.

Perhaps a few, general rules about eating would be oi help here, such as: -Eat slowly, chew your food thor- oughly. Do not hurry your meals, nor be in a hurry before and after meals. Do not eat when hot or excited. kt only at regulartimes and just three times a day.

Five to six hours between meals, and the particular treatmentis to cut down on your starches such as bread and potatoes and avoid hot rolls, hot biscuits, muffins, wafiles, and cakes.

If [the symptoms are at all severe Dr. Emery suggests that you do with- out starchy foods entirely for s. few days. This resultsin complete relief of the symptoms.

Remember then that much oi the pain in the lower abdomen is due to too much starch ln so far as your par-

and Central Canada. that the devel-i ance. oprdent of the Maritime Provinces de- pends- solely upon our own people and that the present improved conditions are eitamples merely of the benefits that come to those who help them- selvaa, This is but a partial truth. The Msrltimes have suflersd. through no fault on their part. by the industrial and economic changes brought about by Confederation. As the St. John Tel- egraph-‘Jotnnal pertlnently says: How. could a people help them- selves when they lay under such burdens as the Duncan Commis- sionfrevcsled? It is quit/e true there isa new spirit and a new energy in those. provinces. It is due to the improved conditions made possible by the Duncan Commission and by the ‘new expressed dcslre of the Central Provinces to buy where ior so long. they have sold to the in- _iury,_oi_ Maritime Provinces indus- tries.

ThefTree As An Invention

Condensed from the Atlantic

Monthly-Charles n. Stewart i

In any tree, however alive, the . substance mposlng trunk and fibrshch-thc solid part oi the tree-is ‘inert and lifeless matter. The heart- twood oi atree is dead in every sense. ‘its tubas no longer convey sap up- lv/ard. From the heartwood outward ito a point very near the surfact- we flnd the water-conveying struc- ture consisting oi long» tubes; and these tubes are mere conduits, inert land lifeless. At first, when they {were Ileing built, there were live cells working inside of them, little bags of protoplum: but, once they were completed, the live tenants disap- peered.

l The only part oi a tree that is ireeliy alive Ls a thin sheath of cells Sat the surface oi the wood called the cambium layer. It is this lilvc part that kecps building and aking the tree larger.

Ii we cut through a tree, we can count the rings of its annual growth. A cut acrom a tree near the ground may show 300 annual rings, while cuts at. higher points will disclose but 100, or 50, or 40. The rings become fewer and fewer. Ii we take a par- ticular rlng and follow it up we find that it grows email-er and smaller till it diminishes. a ring near the cen- ter of the stump coming to an end at no .great distance from the ground. And each of these rings, ac- cording as it is the 40th or 100th from the center, will show s. height as well as the thickness that the tree has attained in that number of years. Just as a tree grows smaller upward, so likewise do these inner sheaths o! annual growth. All the successive surfaces oi the tree are enclosed here.

Thus we see that a tree is resly a sheath of life spread over the dead trees of other years. Generation stands within generation. successive- ly wrapped about. The outer life of cambium and leaf and bud uses this trellis to go up and- reach out sun- ward and skyward. Instead oi throw- irlg its old skeleton aside each year and starting anew, it clings,to its dead bones, profits by their stature. and makes tubes in them to provide a supply oi water for a. larger growth. when we compare this way oi growth with other methods. both animal and vegetable, it must strike us as a. most interesting invention.

As the inner or lifeless part of a tree is incapable of growth a nail driven into a. young tree at any par- ticular height will remain at that distance from the ground through- oit the life of the tree. And a branch coming out at any point will not be carried upward as time goes on.

A tree, like other forms oi life, is engaged in the constant circulation oi fiuid through its tissues. Life pro- cesses. animal or vegetable, can go on only so long as each individual cell is surrounded by a fluid con- teinihg nutrimcnt. To meet this de- mand and to provide for a large amount oi evaporation, a tree passes up a great deal of water. A fairly
