BENNETT? WAY BEST

The ‘msonto Saturday ‘ Night— anything but partial to the Bennett Gavel-amen‘ has come in the cou-

elusion that in certain reform

measures the methods adopted by asr. ..Ba'nnett for ucertsinins what scope the courts can be induced to assign to the federal power is greatly “ to the method which is being advocated by the

Liberal perty.

"The courts," says the Toronto paper, “are exceedingly, andright- ly, reluctant to give answers to stated questions of e general char- acter, where no specific issue has been joined between contending litigants. To~ ask them to give an opinion on the constitutionality oi en entire statute, as was done in the aeronautics case, and as it is proposed by Mr. King to do in the case of the present legislation, is to impose upon them an impossible task, and to seek to employ them as if they were a supplementary force of law officers of the Crown. The questions put to them are usually badly stated, and the ans- wers are usually incomplete and indete mate, and if they were not so there would be a distinct risk oi prejudicing the right‘ of future liti- gants who might easily, by the cir- cumstances oi their special case. influence the courts to a different view if they were not lettered by their own decisions as rendered when no smcific case was under

- consideration.

“In other words the value of an opinion of the Supreme Court or oi the Privy Council seems to us to be likely to be much greater when it is rendered upon a specific issue arising out oi real lit‘ ‘ concerning legislation which has been actually adopted and which the enacting! ' ‘ is prepared to ddcnd with all its legal abilit- ies, than when it is given in ropLv ioeaetoiquestionspoaedbye legislature hesitating between two courses. A legislature which really considers it to be in the interests oi its people-whether nation or Pro- vince-thet certain legisletim should be adopted, docs well to pug that legislation even in isce oi some doubt as to its validity; it is far more likely to‘ commend that legislation effectively to the courts marl if it nlows no resolu- tion. no eornest desire to ewrcise power.”

The successive winters of 1H4 and 1085 have been such that time is no one who has much oi l. chance of comparison with those which were more severe. ‘rile tem- peratures have been low. The changes have been sudden. The aslows have been deep. with snow falling early in the autumn as it did in 1933 and remaining late. even the professional "oldtimer" had to hesitate when he began t0 talk of a winter which had more snow. And now Nature has produc- ed. a second wlntpr which bids fair’ to rival its predecessor. The ther- mometer has taken the proverbial "nose-dive" s0 often that it has ceased to b: remarkable. The snow although not in the depth of a. year ago, nevertheless ls deep and with some weeks of winter still to come the total depth may be as greet. -

Tire probability is that weather conditions in any area follow cycles and a selected pal-t of a cycle close- ly resembles the corresponding pert of another cycle. The veteran who compares the winters of these days with those of his youth. makes his comparison without remembering that. There have been winters in recent years which were unusually mild. But thsl-ewsrs similar mild winters many years ago.

One wollls llarcly realise it. but Jspeh has become Canada's fourth best customer. The United Kingdom is first, the United States second, Australia third and Japan fourth.

Correspondingiy in the past year imports from that country have increased from s3,- lassis u. 06.04.51, although slight- ly lower than in i932.

One glorious thing about all the many treasures and creations oi nature is that no one can really own them, even though some of them may be bought. But anyone who can appreciate, even what an- other has given for, really owns it in his heart. Every woman loves to go "shopping." She likes the idea oi being slnprla-d at "bargains." it's a sort oi play-game-and a rather troublesome one at times! Yet it's educational. Buying makes boosters of- us all tco often, however, “I bought a car, a suit, a. book. a house, a piece oi land.” So it gms. And yct buying is what make. the world go Hound.

Vfhen there is no possibility of ulcer, cancer. appendiciti , or m- flemed gall bladder, then certain general rules which should help ell other cases of indigestion might well be ‘oilcwed.

Dr. Sanford Blum. Ban Francisco. the dietetic research physician out- lines thwe rules.

1. Food should be taken slowly, liquids as well as solids.

2. Food which experience has shown does not agree should not be taken. (me person may digest with ease a kind of food which another finds i. “gcstible.

3. In digestive ilisorders the dig- estive powers should not be over- worked. Overeatlng does not permit the digestive apparatus enough time to "rest" between meals.

4. It is unwise to drink much fluid at the same time as solid foods are taken. A small quantity of liquid

to soften and mix the food ln the stomach, thus making it easier for the stomach digestive juice to do its work. Water is absolutely necessary to good "gestion and should be taken between meals: its value in‘ preventing constipation ls consid- erable, Water- taken an hour before meals washes the stomach and sets it ready to receive food.

5. Hard foods, foods with husks or kernels, should not be eaten when there is indigestion.

6. There should be long periods between meals.

'1. Milk may be used freely ii it agrees.

8. Onions, garlic, condiments. irritate the lining of the intestine and should not be used.

9. ‘Iilewsbbege group of vege- tables cause too much gas and should be avoided in indigestion.

Pol- close orl a hundred years the firm of Burnpus has occupied its present premises in Oxford Street; but the Old Watch House has stood, as it stands to-dsy. ifor twice that period. Upon its site once stood the Church of Old Tllblifil, and later the House of Harley, whose coat of arms is still albove the doorway. it is believed that the Harlaian Library started here; it is certain that, 200 years ago, it was the rallying point of the night watchmen, whom Row- landson drew. with their flickering lanterns, setting out upon their beat; and that Dick Turpin and Jack Sheppard knew the hospitality of iu cellars. Adjoining it is the Old Court House. which Bumpus fads over a few years back. filling it with wonderful exhibitions of rare books, and with the inter- mittent oratory of boolunen o! varied degrees of eloquence and wit. 1t is a shrine of memories; a ‘
