TRAIN SERVICE

In connection with the curtail- lnent of our train service with the Mainland, the Board of ‘lrade has

. decided to approach our Govern- ment with a view to an appeal be- ing made to the Railway Commis- sioners. As already maintained by The Guardian. this Pro- vince is in entire sympathy with the Railway management's desire to economize in every way possible. but wsdonot consider we should be particularly discriminated against. lo 10nd as the Ocean Limited and the Maritime Express are run for the benefit of the Maritime Provin- ces, this Province should share by direct connection with them.

As an alternative to the restora- tion of the double service, it was suggested by several members oi the Board that the late train should be substituted for the early one. 1f only the Fall months were concern- ed thls might be all right, but when we take into conside atioh the snow storms, blocked lines and hold-ups in Winter and early

Spring, it is doubtful whether the change would be so desirable as claimed. By the present arrange- ment, an occasional passenger may be delayed for a few hours in a

comfortable hotel or home in Char-

lottetown or elsewhere, whereas, by the proposed change, a whole train- ful of assengers, and express mail may be delayed under much less favourable conditions overnight. Is it not better to bear the ills we have than fly to those we know

ing their rubbish, old cans, etc., out, and dumping them at the side of ‘ the country roads. This is not to be tolerated,

God's co-operation. The laws labour on the land are plain. It man will not work neither shall he eat, yet let him work never so hard and be he never so lucky he will never receive a fantastic return. Hc does not behave as if he had the purse of Fortunatus, the rhythm of nature keeps him within sober bounds. '

The laws of high finance are dif-

ferent They allow men and na- tions to live by false and illusory standards, to hope to get rich quickly and without effort, to ac- quire an ideal of life where lux- uries come to be looked on as ne- cessities, and the relation between what we desire and what we can afford becomes obscured. Divine laws are also laws of Nature, and it is a dangerous fril- lacy to suppose that a man or na- tion ihat sows sparingly can for ever reap plenteously.

DUMP WANTED

a free dump for the City. The new Hygienic organization has leased from Councillor Blanchard the sole right to use the erstwhile public dump, and now no one may cart rubbish there without paying a fee. The consequence is, The Guardian is informed, that citizens are tak-

KEEP TO THE LEFT

cenny acommamed a cm’ bank should not the City Council make manager over the Province in his car, expressed surprise that pedes- trians should be allowed to “keep to the right." In Ontario pedes- trians must “keepto the left," and vehicular traffic‘ "to the right." The reason for this is obvious. By observing such a. rule, the pedestri- ans and drivers of vehicular traffic are always facing each other, mak- ing the risk of accidents very much less. In the old days, when the rule of the road was for vehicular traffic “to keep to the left", pedes is.» were made to "keep to the right." But when the law was changed for vehicular traffic, nothing was done to bring about a correspond- ing change with regard to pedestri- ans.

i THE GREAT FACTOR Appropriate to the Thanksgiving mason is the reminder in the (London) Church Times that we not only say grace when the lar- der is full and our balance at the bank is a matter of quiet self-con- gratulation. The lean years and the anxious times send men to God Iith no lac, but rather a deeper. sense of the reality of their de- pendence than the lost years of -plenty. In this Province, despite low prices resulting from world wide de-

pressioh, the harvesthasbeeri excel- lent and there is reason for abund-

ant thankfulness One thing above

material resources our people have been blessed with, and that is re-

ligious faith. The stability of c1, civilization (to quote again from the English publication above men- tioned) depends in the long run upon religion, for nothing else can enable man to trust‘ in something more solid and enduring than the flux of material fcrcm beyond his individual control. If religion diu, the springs of vitality which keep society alive dry up, and decad- ence sets in.

CHANGE IN CAPITAL

The capital of one of the oldest and at the same time one of the newest lands in the British Empire has Just been transferred. The land is Northern Rhodesia, lone of the great stretches of territory which takes its name from one of the great figures of British Imper- ial expansiorn-Cecli John Rhodes. An agitation for the re-uniting of Ncrthem and Southern Rhodesia, was carried on for a time, but it has been decided that the time is not ripe for the reunion to be ac- complished just at present.

Livingstone, in the valley of the Zambezi River, heretofore was the capital of the Northern State. Its name is one to stir the heart of every British subject, for it com- memorates David Livingstone, niis- sionary and explorer, who as long ago as I055 discovered and traced the Zambezi. Lusaka is to be the new capital, situated in the uplands where the tremendous mineral wealth of the country lies. Near

suorrrnv COOKED Foons MOST EASILY DIGESTED

The controversy as to whether foods should be eaten raw or cooked goes on apparently without any sign of ending, but it would seem that the cocking ‘enthusiasts were now having a little more proof t9 show that a certain amount of cooking at least, makes food more digestible.

Civilized people prefer cooking perhaps because they have in mind the organisms crmlcrcbes that may be in raw foods, or because cooked foods look, smell, and taste better.‘

However since it has become known that valuable minerals and, vitamins may be lost in certain types of cooking, there has been a return to the idea that raw foods may be best after all. I What about this?

There is not much argument about the cooking of starches. It is generally admitted that cooked starches are easier to digest than when raw.

Lord lni-lii-zipc says in the London Daily Mull: l have been all my life a believer iii iiie commercial and cconoiliic value of Free Trade. But I clo not hcshuie, in the conditions iii which Great Britain finds hor- scif today. to admit the financial cxiniiiency ofa tariff for tile protec- tion of British industry and agri- culture. Undcr a tariff internal pric s lllight, niicl prrbnbiy would, rise slightly, but fills ivouid be off- Wm“ about‘ eggs?

sci by illcronsczi ciripioyment and‘ Fcr years it was believed that a the fiscal advantage of rdcuced im- ihard boned egg was very hard m digest, and so raw eggs or eggs slightly cocked, were always used. Yet it has been found that if the white of the egg is cooked so that it thickens or coagulates it is much easier to digest.

What about meat?

I have spoken before of Dr. W.M.‘ Clifford's cxpevimcilts at King's Col- lcgt of Household Science, London. These show that meat when raw is in tile least digestible condition. The ‘most rapidly digested meat is that l which is roasted or grilled until it is ijust red inside with a moist surface when cut. It would seem that meat cooked in this manner is cooked suf- ficiently to destroy harmful proper- ties, and yet not cooked so that the fibres are made too hard for diges- tion. The kind of meat that takes longest tc digest is meat that has been boiled for a long time and then minced or put through a grinder. The most rapidly digested is an underdone roast.

It would seem therefore that. for people with weak digestive powers or for young children, the ideal form in which to serve meat is an under- done roast, minced or chopped up after cooking.

The whole point then is that slight cooking does not destroy the vit- amins, and yet makes meat more easily digested.

Then go out and re- peat the process as your pocket book permits.

For this world-wide condition no government can be held responsible. Administrative wisdom may amel- iorate distress. Great Britain is in the throes of an heroic effort to this end.

We are on the eve of a return to better times, but that will not last forever-depres- sion will come again, perhaps when least expected.

Why evaggerate and paint the pictures blacker than they are? 1n- stead of encouraging commerce and industry to get busy and pick up lost ground, those magnified untruths, like graveyard ghosts amongst children, act upon a. ner- vous public to scare them into hid- ing themselves and their money in buried seclusion from their proper place in the world's economy.

I have availed myself of mater- ial opportunity to investigate some

There are as many mouths to feed, as many bodies to clothe, as many houses to build, repair and furnish and as many services to be performed today as in the P911011 of prosperity.

Premier Bennett's advice V’ spend and spend liberally has been scoffed at as ironic to thosevwho have nothing to spend. It is how- ever soundly economic, for there are billions of dolars available for investment, tied up in many cases in the hiding places of the timid. In our own Province this advice is not needed. Our farmers, the main- stay of commerce, are generous spenders. And they spend judicious- ly. As part of their burden in this wave of depression, they are un- fortunately limited by low prices for their products, and their spend- ing powers curtailed. And every business interest, regardless of sin or character, is feeling the pres- sure. To "spend, and spend liber- ally," in nation-wide optimism. yet with Judgment, would contribute much more towards removing de- pression and restoring confidence than all the meanings of wet- blariket pessimists and prejudiced critics-
