The selection of tin title of lord Tweedsmuir by Mr John Buohan, Canada's new Governor-General, brings into prominence the psi-uh in Peeblesshire wish-o m. auohnn-s family had long -been settled. The Tweed, according to Chamber's m- cyclopaediu, is the noblest of Scot- tish rivers; it rises for up in reebicssfilrc at Tweed‘: Well, 1.250 feet above rea-lenfl, and flows 87 miles northward, throughpr along the boundaries of Peebleuhire. Selk- lrkshire, Rnxbmghshire, Jierwick- shire, and Northumbcrland, tlil it fails into the North Sea. at Berjwick- on-Tweed. It receives Ettrick Water (itself fed by Yarrow) Galc- Water, the Leader, the Tcvict, the Till, the Whitadder, and a number of lesser tributaries; is tidal for 10 miles, but almost quite unnavigable; and traces the English border for only about 1'1 miles, so that "North of the Tweed" is a none too accurate phrase. It is famous for its salmon fisheries, but more famous far for its memo ins. "Which of the world's streams." asks George Borrow, "can Tweed envy, wtih its beauty and renown?" It flows by Neidpath, Pecbles, ‘Iraquair, Ashiesfcel, Ab- botsford, Mclrose, the Eildons, Bein- ersyde, Dryburgh, Kelao, Cold- stream. and Norham Castle; nor are these a tithe of- Tweedsldes L‘ ‘ ‘c scenes.

Of course sometlmx the indivi- dual with an active thyroid and who would naturally lose weight eats so much food that notwithstanding the active thyroid there is some left to store as fat. And it is possible for an individual whose thyroid is not very active and who should thus gain weight, to eat such a small quantity of food that not enough is eaten to supply the body's needs and he actually loses weight.

This means then that where there is extreme overweight or extreme underweight it is notalways because the thyroid is slow o: inactive caus- ing the overweight. or very active causing the underweight.

Phus in these "extreme" cases, the metabolism test should be made | which shows the rate at which the

body processes are working, and es- timates the amount of food needed to keep the body processes going. This of course depends upon the height, weight, age, and sex of the individual. - »

The Farmer's HardshiJn-Out of the estimated annual income of about $5,l60,000.000 in lilaofor the 10,000,000 people of Canada. only about $500,000,000 came to the 8.- 000.000 people on the farms. 30 per- cent of the population received only l0 percent of the income. Surely there ought to be a mighty lgitation on the part of our rulers to remedy so great an injustice. Contrast this income with that of the financial, commercial. and industrial mag- nates. “The 62,212 persons getting more than 83,700 had an aggregate income equal to that of the three million persons on farms," (J. S. Woodsworth, M.P.)
