‘ Eastertide

_ The Easter anniversary is rightfully re- garded with special reverence by the Christian world, commemorating as it does the resurrec- tion of our Saviour, a fact of such importance to mankind that all other facts are dwarfed to comparative insignificance. To us in these nor- thern clinics. the season typifies also another resurrection, that of Nature from its wintry grave, the return of life and the joy of health after the winter‘s sleep.

From the early days of Christianity the Easter festival has been observed with thank- offerings and hymns of praise. No finer expres- sion of this prevailing sentiment is to be found in liiiglish literature than in the following sel- doin-quoted poem by GERARD l;Ioi'i<iNs, which lIl‘C£llll(‘5 the very spirit of the season : Break the box and shed the riard; stop not now to count the cost; Hither bring pearl, opal. sard;

Rock not what. the poor have lost: Upon Christ throw them all away: Know ye, this is Easter Day. .

Build His church and deck His shrine. Empty though it be on earth;

Ye have kept your choicest wine-

Let it flow for heavenly mirth;

Pluck the harp and breathe the horn: Know ye not 'tls Easter morn?

Gather gladness from the skies;

Take El. lesson from the ground; Flowers do ope their heavenward eyes And a Spring-time Joy have found; Earth throws Winter's robes away, Decks herself for Easter Day.

t Brewery Stallion Arrives

It is to be hoped that when the House meets next week a full and frank explanation of the (im~ernment'| brewery stallion deal will he made, ei'lier by Premier CAMrai:i.L or the l\liiiister of Agriculture. The animal lias now l'€ElCllCtl the Prluvince, and will remain for the season in Mr. l)l.:.NIs’ district, at O'Le;ir_v. This horse is one of several animals, purchased and loaned out on easy terms by the brewery interests for the purpose of advertising their wares. VVhere no advertisements can be displayed (as in this Pro- vince, where beer and liquor advertising is illeg- al) other arraiigeiiieiits must he made.

PREVENTING SPINAL CUIIVATUIIE

One of the difficulties school medical examiners meet. is the re- fusal of some parents to have their child stripped to the waist. Theyare usually willing to have the under- shirt opened in front or have it pulled down sufficiently for the ex- aminer to listen to the heart, and. as best can be, the lungs also. However the spine. the very back- bone of the youngster cannot be ex- amined unless the clothing is re- nioved to the waist, and many "curved" spines are overlooked. when we remember that more girls than boys develop curvature of the spine, mothers should be glad of the opportunity of finding whe- tlicr or not the spine is curved, be- cause 9. curve during the school age can usually be corrected by exer- cise and stretching, whereas if left

John Mnlefleld, England’: pool. laureate. has attracted attention in England's literary circles by his reply to queries as to whether or not he would write an ode for the coronation of King Edward VIII. He feels that it would not be right to harnmer out a poem on order. on the occasion of birthday anniver- sarles for kings in the past. other laureates have written poems every year. Few. if any, of these poems have attained anything more than passing attention. With the soul of the true poet, Mr. Masefleld does not believe in folclng his Muse. If he does write 9. coronation ode it will be one of excellence.

So far, the League of Nations has prevented war. And what a deal has been said in that one sentence! Hot. heads have been kept to words. Sane mm have been given time to make their suggestions heard. Little by little the people get to the heart of the problem and are seeking the great thing the world needs—a just and lasting peace. Nations are al- lowed to say the thing they will and have found relief by so doing. All is not well with the nations, but they are it great. deal better than they were in 1914 when precipitate actlon plunged the race into war.

Hitler has chosen not to wall for a judicial settlement of the status of the new treaty. Again, as in the case of reparations and rearmani- ent, Germany has resorted to unilateral action in plain disregard of existing commitments. No one can mistake the significance of this latest. move. For months Hitler has apparently been hesitating between two policies. one was to attempt to strengthen German relations with Great Britain. by refraining from any action which might still further jeopardize the peace of Europe during the critical situation created by Italy's invasion of Ethiopia. The other was to use this critical period for a hold stroke on another front. He has now chosen the second of thugs alternatives. and his action adds to the grave /problems with which the European democm.,:.. are oonfronted.—New York Times.

what happens in spinal curvature is that; there is first a slight curve in ‘the spine and then to overcome this and bring the spine as straight as possible to maintain balance, an- other curve occurs. By straightening the llrst or original curve the sec- ond curve straightens itself.

The usual treatment in early cases is to try to straighten the spine by hanging by the neck from any simple apparatus which fits around the chin and back of the head. Any youngster can do this the first, time and can hang for many minutes after a few weeks’ treat- ment. Some start with their feet 'on a chair or the floor and simply lift their feet up by bending the knees.

A second step or other method is to have the youngster hang on two rings, one hand on each ring, with one ring higher than the other so that the spine is brought into a straight line. Hanging 8 to 10 times for about a half minute or more morning and evening is necessary.

This brings the spine straight. To hold it straight have the youngster lie on abdomen and try and bring head and heels together with knees straight, the arms being ad- Justed (right up beside head and left down by body or. vice versa) to bring spine into a straight line. This should be done six to twelve times, then a short rest and six to twelve more times. morning and ev- ening.

Thou art laid Deep in Thy darksome bed: All still and cold beneath yon

Thy sacred form is gone;

Around those lips where power and mercy hung,

The dews of death have clung;

The dull earth o'er Thee, and Thy foes around,

Thou sleep'st a, silent corse, in fun- eral fetters wound

Slecp‘st Thou indeed? or is Thy spirit fled_

At large among the dead?

Wliel.liei' in Eden bowers Thy wel- come voice

Wake Abraham to rejoice.

The thronginiz band of souls:

That. as ’Ili_v blood won earth. Thine agony

Mlght_set the shadows realm from sin and sorrow free.

Where'er 'I'liou roai'n‘sl., one happy soul we know

Seen at Thy side in woe,

Waits on Thy trlumph—even as all the blest

With him and Thee shall rest.

Each on his cross, by Thee we hand a. while,

Watching Thy patient smile,

Till we have lcli.rn‘d to say, ""I‘ls justly done,

only in glory. Lord, Thy sinful ser- vant own." . . .

Earth shall resign her part.

When in the grave with Thee my limbs shall rest. .
