SATIJRDAY,

Mommy's HOLIDAY‘

"About half a century ago," writes m. Toni More. President the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada in a timely message in the Canadian Labor P:ess, "labor in Canada and the United States be» gan to observe the first Monday in September as a holiday of its own, a day for the celebration of past achievements and for the public declaration of its policies. Following similar action taken by the Government of the United States, the Parliament of Canada h 1894 enacted legislation estab- lishing this day as a. public holi- day, since which time it has been known as Labor Day. Its obser- vance SCYVCS as a. continual re- minder oi the indispensable part that the workers play iu the for- ward march of progress and em- phasizes the constructive inﬂuence that can be wielded through organ- ized activity and unity of purpose.”

Referring particularly to the present world-wide economic de- pression, Mr. More suggests that every effort should be exerted t0 secure immediate relief and that the time calls for courageous ex- pending and not timid retrench- ment; all possible public_ works should be initiated both by federal, provincial and municipal authorit- ies and the utmost advantage tak- en of the lull in private industrial activity to develop Canada's heri- tage to the full. '

This is a. policy which the Feder- al Government has already initiat- ed and which will be carried out extensively during the coming months. A delegation from the Pro-q vincial Government, headed by Pre- mier Stewart has had consultation with the authorities at Ottawa on this subject. and the result is being awaited with great interest.

While this Province has been less affected by the depression than other larger centres of population. it is still necessary to provide for unemployment, especially during the coming winter. No worthier re- cipients of assistance unemployment

under the grant exist than our laboring closes, who, like our

‘ farmers, may truly be said to be the

backbone of the community.

Monday has been set apart as a public holiday to commemorate the achievements of Labor in the life of the Dominion. With the local labor organization in mind, wg cannot do better than conclude these remarks with another quota- tion from the current issue of the Canadian Labor Press—a quotation which Expresses a truth too import- \nt to be ignored:

"WOFMHB DCODIc regard labor and service as a. most valuable and sacred thing. It cannot be classed as a commodity compar- ed with tangible. perishable pro- ducts manufactured and created by industry. Labor is life because workers give their lives and their minds when they work with their hands. . . . The ultimate object- ive oi labor is the realization and enjoyment of a higher and bﬁtter life. . . . The aims of lBbor are s0 noble and its motives are so lofty as to invite and se- cure the support of all those who believe that it is the inalienable right of men and women to enjoy life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness.“

A REAL HOOK

I ____ ’ To love books, it has been said, is

“to lovc them for ever beyond time

Ind change." The clnss of readers

to whom this statement applies are IPB-ifllkeli! to require newspaper advice on what to read. Yet there is one book recently published in England which we cannot refrain from commending to those of hm- readers who have been born with, or have acquired, that passionate attachment to "the noble dust of libraries" which is the distinguish. lng trait of all genuine book-worms. The book is by Holhrook Jackson and is entitled "The Anatomy of Bibliomanla." It is in two volumes- Slx months ago the first volume ap-

peared and was hailed with delight. Mr. Jackson took Burton's "Ana- tpmy of Melancholy" as the model of his work, and he ocmPleqy succeeded, not only in calltuflﬂ! but m retaining throughout the style and spirit of his Elizabethan model. The reading that went to the first volume must have been prodigious; it is filled from cover to cover with literary anecdotes and allusions, culled from all the cen- turies-an inexhaustible cornuco- pia, capable of being opened at ran- dom with the certainty of ﬂndin! delightful reading on every page. It see —' im- ossible that Mr. Jackson could repeat his success in the promised second volume. But this is precisely what he has done. The new volume, according to the reviewers is as satisfying as the first. It is divided into thirty-two parts, and without the least suspic- ion of repetition the author, with unfailing ingenuity, finds in each of them some new aspect of his subject. Among other matters he writes of "The Misfortunes of Boo ," of "Bookworms,” "Book Hunting,” “Grangeritisﬂ and asks and answers the question, "Do Bib- liomaniacs Read their Books?" Quotations from such a work can afford no adequate idea of the var- iety and eittent of the whole. Nev- ertheless, as typical of hundreds of delightful passages, take the ‘fol- lowing:

“fn this business of'the choice of books I am with the Earl of Balfour when he confesses that at times he is tempted somewhat to vary the prayer of the poet. and to ask whether Heaven has not reserved in pity to this ‘much educated generation, some peace- ful desert of literature as yet un- claimed by the crammer or the coach; where it might be pos- sible for the student to wander, even perhaps to stray, at his own pleasure; without ﬁnding every beauty labelled, every difficulty engineered, every nook surveyed, and a professional clcerone standing at every corner to guide each succeeding traveller along the same well-worn road.’

“I will not quarrel with those who think otherwise. They can do no harm, and catalogues of what one ought toread are an entertainment and a. warning. Every reader worth his salt will choose his own hundred best books. A liltary, whether small or large, is a sec. which we must chart for ourselves and explore for ourselves, our own intelli- gence for compass, and with a. fair wind behind us or full steam ahead, we need not fear to reach the Islands of the Blast."

STABILITY

There is one thing for which, in the midst of the present prolonged economic depression Canadians sliouid be thankful, says a Brant- ford exhcange; and that is the sta- bility of our ﬁnancial institutions. So far there has not been a col- lapse of any bank in Canada, or of any ﬁnancial institution that would disturb the country's ixedit or shake the conﬁdence of the people in business enterprises. On the other hand, it is said that during the past decade there have been more than. 6,000.bank failures in the United States.

EDITORIAL NOTES

“There is general rejoicing,“ says the Toronto Globe, (Liberal) "that the Canadian National Exhibition again is on the upswing, and that therefore things generally cannot be so black as they have been painted."

“Canadlansﬁ sighs a Toronto ex- change, "are not as different ‘from Americans as they were c genera- tion ago. Can one imagine a. gen- eration ago that a Canadian amusement ager would accur- ately have gauged the - leuure-iov- ing pccjfﬁarities of the people of Toronto by providing them "with the spectacle of Shipwreck Kelly? But today there are apparently enough empty-headed people in this city to make the stupid and vulgar spectacle provided by a pole sitter c valuable attraction to an amuse- ment park."

In nineteen months hrthe QM of July says an exchange fort-l’- three spectators, four of whom died, were hit by stray-bullet fired__by criminals on New York streets. The wounded who survived

wmnen and twenty-five men.‘ 1n the same period fourteen ,. licemeri were killed and twenty-seven wounded. In the first seven months of this year nineteen bystanders were wounded. ' .

The police havg been warned to shoot fast and straight, to shoot above the waist, and they are to be given radio-equipped motor cars as an Aid to mobility. They arc to have the assistance of the federal authorities, who have had some succes in eliminating gangsters by sending them to jail for evasion of income-tax laws or violation of-lhc liquor laws. But the wise New Yorker, when he hears the shooting start, still will take to the subway.

On one occasion a. pupil of Whistler, the great impressionist artist, said to her master, rather impatiently, “But, Mr. Whistler, why can't I paint things just us I see them?" "My dear young lady," was his reply, "there is no statute to prevent you from painting things just as you see them. but it will be h-l when you see them just as you paint them.” The authenticity of the story might be doubted were it told about any other man than the author of “The Gentle Art of Making Enemies.”

No system of Indian self-govern-

ment can work unless Mbslem and Hindu are both willing to acquiesce in it. It is not merely a matter of the signing of a paper pact,by dis- tinguished leaders on either side. There are, says the Manchester Guardian, two questions to be con- sidered-first, whether we can get the degree or initial assent which will make it possible to bring thé new system into operation; second- ly, we have to ‘make as sure as we can that the new system is so con- trived that when lt has been brought into operation it will work so as to allay rather than inflame mutual suspicions or hatreds. It seems says a Cairo , p" that the Egyptians are not to be surpassed in their trade efforts by the activities of‘ ‘the British, at least where Anglo-Egyptian re- lotions are concerned, for there has been considerable satisfaction ex- pressed at home with the good, quiet business methods of Abdul Wahmb Pasha. The financial under. secretary his just_ concluded ar~ rangements at Livenpool for the storage in bond at that port of large consignments of Egyptian cotton for sale. Stores will always be kept full, incidentally giving Lancashire the advantage of a ready supply.

When you are in Carnac In France. and you go out to see the mysterious Druid menhirs, which are among the most impressive in the world, you will, of course, be told, as you were at Stonehenge, in England, that they mark warriors‘ graves or are stones connected with sun worshippers and so on. It is well to recall that we. know very little of the religion of the Druids; in fact, one of their laws was, "Do not discuss religion among your- selves." Other laws were: “Women may become judges," “No child shall be reared in a city, but only in a village," and Caesar has left the testimony that "it is a 18W of the Druids that no man shall be richer than his neighbor."

n is not the abulltlon of private property, but the abolition of the private life which is so repulsive in the Bolshevik experiment. To be herded together, as the Russians seem to be, and to be at the mercy of propagandists who 56g in you nothing but raw material for the current Five--Year Plan-this is what repels a. man brought up in the ordinary human way.

Three is every sign that a trem- endous storm ls brewing, in Great Britain. This is likely to be the more furious because, so far as parliament is concerned, the op~ ponents of the government know that they are impotent. They can- not prevent the cut-aiid-drled pro- gram of the new ministry going in- to effect While they sit by power- les in modify it. ‘There will be "soenes” in the House of Commons when the session is resumed.

It may be taken as certain "Ill- sooner or later a tariff will be- come inevitable, in Great Britain. That conclusion was reached five months ago by Profssor Keynes the most eminent of advanced Lib- eral economists. Everything that has happened since-has tended to prove thdt he was right. The only way to salvation in financial mat- ters is,by the application of a tar~ iff. combined with drastic re-

trenchment.

When schcoi- opens and the youngster gets hi! ﬁrst physical el- aminationthe parents may receive a card suggesting that the young- ster's tonsils or adenoid: be remov- ed. ‘ It ls usually suggested that the parent consult the family physician regarding it. .

It is only natural that parents sliouid feel a. little backward about ‘having ‘the youngster * an operation, not from the expense standpoint, although that must be considered. but the tonsils might be

would seem unwise to disturb them.

What about this? Does the re- moval of tonsils help or injure a. youngsters chances regarding the various ailments?

Dr. A. H. Kaiser, Rochester, N. Y., who has done a great amount of rc- search wcrk along this line, gives us the record of his study of 4400 child-

‘ren over a. ten year period.

He tells us that certain infections have a. close relationship to the presence or absence of tonsils and adenoids. Other infections are not inﬂuenced favorably or unfavorabiy by the presence or absence of tonsils and. adenolds. A few infections act- ually occur moie often after tonsils are removed.

Removing the tonsils and ade- noids helps to prevent or to make attacks less severe in colds in the head, sore throats, enlarged glands in the neck, inflammation of the middle ear, rheumatism, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and infections of the teeth. Measles, tuberculosis. St. Vitus Dance, (chores) were very slightly helped, if at all, by the re- moval of tonsils and adcnoids.

Undernourishment or loss of weight occurred in nearly as many children whose tonsils and adenoid:- had been removed as in those who had not undergone operation.

There were more cases of bron- chitls, n- 1e and un- fiammation of the sinuses or caverns adjoining the nose) in those who had the tonsils removed than in those withtonsils; in fact first at- tacks of sinusitis occurred more often in the children whose tonsils and adenoids had been removed. t

Now, with the above facts, just what should parents do?

They should be guided by the family physician who knows all the circumstances of the case.

There is always this one point to be remembered. Infected tonsils cause most cases of rheumatism, and rheumatism causes most cases of heart disease. (

The. soft, tender colors in nature predominate in all Gainmoroug’: portrait studies; in his landscapes only he applies warmer, richer tones. In this class of painting he was really at his best although his landscapes were not appreciated during his lifetime. Some biograiphers say they were painted for his own pleasure and were never offered for sale, others tell us that they were unsslcible: they are highly valued at the pres- ent time. _ Fcinsborough was only ten when he began to draw ﬂowers and trees. His mother painted ﬂowers and bcbly taught him to use a neu- cil. Until he was fifteen ho lived and sketched in the open. Sent to school he spent his time drawing carricatures of the teacher. ‘There was one thing only that he wanted to do and when his parents realiz- ed this he was allowed to Bo to London to study art.

The artistic side of Canldl‘! great annual Fair is well illustrat- ed by the offences o: the splendid jlxhibltion Chorus, under the 411F945‘ tion of Dr. H. A.
