To combat this view, there were suggestions that a subscription list be established, and the figures suggested ranged all the way from one dollar to a final offer by Alderman H. D.

During the same period 37,831 men lizid been placed on farms for the winter, receiving $7.50 a month per man, with another $5 going to the farmer to help pay for his board.

The Idea ls abroad that. marriage as a profession ls somehow inferior 1° B 10b; that: the mere wlfe Ls a parasite compared to the busy worker. It ls esteemed more honor- able to labour at a typewriter for a. than to cook and mend for a husband. and the measure of self- i-espect. ls the pay-envelope which gives "independence." Wlves com- pare themselves to the "career woman" whose prestige ls so great, and tlilnk that they, too, might have earned money and been free and envied as a stenograplier, a teacher, or a newspaper woman. Thus I often lieai- married women say apologet- lvﬂlll’.

The whole tipping system comes down to us from less democratic days. It has its roots lii the crumb- ling stones of merllnevallsm when servants had few rights and lived by the favor of their masters. It is quite out of keeping with tlils day and age of organized labor and gen- eral recognition of the prlncipfe that the laborer ls wortliv of his lilre and should be paid according- ly.—Wlnn1peg Tribune.

It is the advent of air power which has most affected the Medl- terranean situation. Its inﬂuence did not develop early after the war, although its shadow began to stretch across the inland sea. Italy had no serious air force untll Mus- solini rebuilt the force. Spain has never had one. France herself was too remote from the truffle "oute, and although her African . 1ii1es bordered it, they were separated by a. wide expanse of sen from their sources of aircraft supply. Even lf a war between Bi-Lain mid France had been poltlcally conceivable, the Brlttsli ﬂeet and its aircraft car- rlers might: have had a powerful effect on the lattei-‘s sh-atcglc 51t- uatlon by interrupting the tiassage of trade and reinforcemcn-s be- tween France and Frciicli North Africa.

A few days hence-on the even-

Slr.—Under the above heading Mr. J. W. Mitchell of New Domin- lon cHGOYSES strongly the proposed Wood Island Ferry, mainly because of the attraction that the around the Island route would be to tour- ists from the mainland, all of which ls very good.

Let ll; not, however, be forgotten that; there are tourists and tour- ists. One class of tourists wlll come 1n by one ferry, riwe over our 1 liard surfaced wads and help to ivear them out, rush through the future national park, buy some cheap food at a lunch counter and a. few gallons of gueollne at a aer- vloe station and hasten back tothc mainland by the other ferry, all 1n a day or at most two days. Such visitors are an expense rather than a source of revenue to the prov- ince. '

The other class of tourists will come leisurely to pay a. vlslt to this beautiful Island, not for a day or two but: for a, few weeks and some- times for months. They wlll enjoy n, our oool summer, splendid scenery and unequalled sea-bathing. 'I‘l_iey wlll spend of their means gener- ously and return to their homes to tell their friends that: nowhere else on the continent can such perfect h summer condltlonsbe found. These are the tourlsts that we should beckon to our shores. B But, and here comes the rub, how can we ask them to come when we are not: in a. position to give them the klrid of accommodation they expect and are willing to pay for? Pmslbly, having purchased Dal- vay, the National Park Commis- sion has plans for an up-to-date tourist. seashore hotel.

THE “INSUFFICIENT” LIVER

If I dld not keep a. clmse watch onmyself I believe I would be writing about. the liver not less than once or twlce a week, as this “king” of the organs means so much to the health and happtnens of us all. To our health 1t. means much because ll: does so many things-filters out poisons or ham- ful substances from the blood, stores away starch in the form of glycogen for future use—always a supply on hand should our starchy food supply fall for a time; manu- facturers blle which breaks up fats and fits them for digestion; ls a natural purgatlve and a. natural antiseptic; manufactures substances used 1n the maktng of blood; and recently 1t has been found that it. actually stores up a little of the proteld foods-meat, fl:h. eggs,- USCCI 1n lL-e structure of building of the body.

It Ls because of tlteze important, points that I have written about the liver so much and so often, but henceforward I will not, need to make any excuses for writing much and often.

Why?

A recent, "foreign letter” from Paris to the American Medical Association states:-
