They seem healthy enough. get out-l doors to nlnv. and certainly eat.‘ enough‘ food, and yet there seems to‘ be an early decay of the teeth. , In former days it was taken for ' iyranted that the teeth in some fam- ilies decayed early anyway and there‘ was nothing really that could be done‘ about. n. i But. now our physicians not only telli us that the food eaten affects the,‘ tooth but they are able to prove it. ‘ Drs. M. lVIellanby and C. L. ,Pat.- twenty-one to their diet checked the beginning of decay at new points. , Simply adding cod liver oil to the food intake gave these results. f Milk and egg yolk are also rich in,‘ vitamin D. i Now what foods cause early dental decay? . ‘ Diets that ‘have too‘ much sugar,’ white bread. potatoes. and other; starchy foods. Dr. Harvey J.

Eating the right food is the only way to do this. If the youngster rebels at vegetables and fruit and wants to eat starchyi foods-and candy. see that he gets a! once a day.

IN CUBA Six-rive have been requested Lo makc some suggestions regarding the foiniution of a plan whereby the Prince Edward Island potato grow- crs, in retum for producing an article which is wanted by every family in Cuba. may secure the very best, prices ; possible. During the past few weeks we have given Qonsiderable thought to the formation of a plan which would be simple and practical. which could be operated with efficienty and safety. which would arrange for deliveries as required and secure the best prices which an exclusive demand would warrant; a plan which would have nocbjcctionablc features. but would give promise of such beneficial re- sults that it would be favored not only by the people of Prince Edward Island but. on account of the sta- bilizing cffcct it would have on the market, by the ‘Cuban dealers as well. The main features of the plan we have in mind ‘are as follows: (1) The formation 0f a marketing board to have full control of mar- keting Prince Edward Island potato- es in Cuba. _ <2) A regulation that all inspection and health certificates for potato shipments to Cuba be delivered only to tlie marketing board. This would enable the marketing board to control all Prince Edward Island shipments to Cuba as potatoes are allowed cn- trance to Cuba only when accompani- ed by these certificates vised by the Cuban consul at point of shipment. <3) A regulation that all potatoes for SlllpmBnL to Cuba be packed in new branded sacks. This would prevent mixing whcn ships are loaded at ports outside the Island. f4) The marketing board to ap- point a selling agent to look after the selling and distribution in all the principal towns in Cuba, such selling agent to furnish a bank guarantee that all drafts for potatoes sold will be paid in full upon arrival of the goods. \Vc are now working on ihe details which would be necessary in carry- ing out such a plan, always keeping in mind that the real purpose of the scheme is to secure greater returns for the potato growers. to climinale all profits in handling and to give to the growers everything other than actual expenses of marketing. The following suggcstlrns might be worthy of consideration; New branded sacls might be secur- ed in large quantities by the Prince Edward Island government and de- livered to the marketing board at cost. The marketing board could then distribute them to dealers. who in turn would distribute to growers to be filled. A brand to be used for Cuban shipments only might be something as indicated below. A dia- forming the diameter of a circle with the words "Prince Edward Island grade A potaioss for Cuba." above The marketing board could arrange with the rcgular potato dealers throughout. the Island, on a par sack basis, to gather the potatoes from the growers. load them in cars and forward them to port of shipment for Cuba. Steamers could be chartered and shipments made weekly in accordance with orders received which, during the period of low duties. should amount to two cargoes weekly (from 45,000 to 50,000 sacks of 00 pounds) for the whole Island. As payments of Cuban drafts would be guaranteed there would be no difficulty with regard to Pay- ments of rail and ocean freight; as well as other, expenses beceusn the bank, u soon ls the lhlpplng docu- ments were deposited, would give the marketing board credit. for the a- mount of the drafts, and cheques could himedlataly be issued u; my- er the expo and cheques for the balance could be forwarded 0o the denier who supplied the c: . The dealers in turn could distrib to the‘ proper amounts. to the grower: who contributed to that particular ship- ment. It would therefore be only e matter of a few days between the time of loading the car and‘ receipt of full payment.

Sales would be made by the sales. agent to the reliable dealers in each of these towns and distribution all? over the Island of Cuba. would be. made by these dealers. The orders‘ from the different towns would be, forwarded to the marketing boardi weekly and two steamers could bu: shipped out each week billcd to the} merchants in the different towns in‘ accordance with orders sent in. In; this way the demand for Prince Ed-l ivard Island potatoes all over the Is-i land could be supplied at regular in-, tervals as required. Sales would oei made each week st the bestpprice on, exclusive demand would warrant andi we believe this demand would enable, an average margin of l5 cents per‘ sack to be maintained above the prlcc i at which potatoes from other placesi were being offered. i We think that the people shouidi be kept constantly informed through? thedally and weekly pres regard-i ing shipments forwarded to Cuba and notices regarding each shipmenté could be given to the press somewhat t as follows: Steamer "Brookfleld" sailed this} morning for Havana with fifty carsl of potatoes as follows: Car No 27854 with 500 sacks. Car No 27250 with 500 sacks. Car No 28222 with 500 sacks i‘ Car No 2666B with 500 sacks. Car No 26667 with 500 sacks. And so on up to fifty cars. Total 25.000 sacks sold at $1.50 $37,500.00.

I .I~". Havana. that the ex- 5 pcnses amounted to ‘l0 cents pcr sack, so he would know that he should re- ceive 80 cents per‘ sack 0r $80.00- for his 100 sacks. , Although we realize that the plan as outlined is very crude yet it. of-l fers something tangible upon which to build and as it is growers who would receive the grcatcst bcncfit from such a scheme we would like‘ '.'.':"'y much to have an expression of, cpinicn from them regarding this? plan suggesting improvements or ad- j dlticnal features which might give‘ ‘octler results.

All philosophy starts‘ ‘ from and comes back to personality) The light inside a lantern flings its‘ beams upon all objects inside. Only! through scif can we know the out- side world. The tcemlng landscape‘ becomes a picture only within the seeing cyc, and as nature is God's thought addressed i0 our sensible! gaze, so ccnsziencc has been dcs- cribed as the law of God addressed to our moral faculty. In some pro- found and awesome sense human life is a strangely lonesome tiling. It is on adventure ‘to solitude. Wo are born indivldiials. What oilicr soul can penetrate the secret recesses of a life known only to self and to God? The real force of life lies in the verb “to be," and its grammar everywhere and, throughout, centres in the personal; pronoun. Mr. Wells says somewhere that the bane of modern science 1s a generalization that tends to rub down things smooth and fiat. into a form- ula, whereas the very chairs turned out from thc factory have been in- dividual monomarks. We are familiar with the thought that no two stars, leaves, flowers. faces are exactly alike; and though a vast multitude of authors and of musicians must needs use the some fixed alphabet and the same notation scale, art never consists in ihclr imitating each other. What we look for in n. book or in a symphony is some special and unique touch which in effect is re- cognizable as a private signature. Art ascends into beauty only when it is the suffusion of passive material by the ghostly and creative touch of the soul. Sclicliiiag voiced a deep truth whcn he said.’ that “there is nothing in outer cvcnts but what first has imprints in the human consciousness." From the religious \'l(‘W]l0llll, the world exists for the growing oi a soul; and herein lies the whole distinction between culture and anarchy. or, in the widest sweep of human activities, bctwccn social barbarlsm and tho establish- ment of a genuine conunonvvcalth.
