Arthur Meighen in reply to repeat- ed Opposition misstatements to this effect.

Germany's refusal to accept the ‘League of Nations vote of censure did not worry Great Britain where the Easter holiday was enjoyed as usual.

CToll, Minister of Welfare and Municipal Affairs, warned the Ontario Legislature that the time would ultimately arrive when rclill administration would have to be taken out of the hands of the municipalities and the two Governments, Provincial and Rd- ernl would assume the burden.

THE . i err-e- W- , WHY YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO REMAIN IN BI D AFTER AN ILLNESS You mly obiect co you doctor's in- struction to remain in bod for a few days after you have really recovered from some ailment. Even when the illness has not been severe moat physicians advise that after the temperature is normal a, not of one day for each degree above normal the temperature reached during the illness should be taken. Thus if the temperature rose to 102%, that is 4 ‘degrees above normal, you should remain in bed four days after the temperature has returned to normal again. - Naturally it is hard for anyone whose illness has been brief to 1!:- maln in, bed, bub it must. be rem- embered that during an illness, the heart has been doing a. great - amount of extra work and the heart pmisclc, though not under the con- ‘ irol of the will, can become tired if it does itoo much work. The heart muscle has what is called "reserve" strength which it uses during an ill- ness, but when the illness is past the heart muscle needs to recover or "catch up" some of this reserve strength it used in fighting the ill- ness. You can readily see that if you rest in bed you do not use the heart's strength to move you around on your feet and so the heart gets a real chance to recover some of its strength. When the heart has not fully re- covered its strength‘ after an illness. the patient finds that after he stands for a while he feels weak and has to sit down, whereas before his illness this amount of quiet stand- ing dld not bother him at all. I Dr's. E. C. Schneider and C. B. Crampton, Middletown, Conn, in American Journal of Physiology, record their results in determining the output of the heart in several individuals in both the standing and reclining or lying down position. Without exception, the individuals showed an increase in the amount o; blood pumped by the 1198-11 81W lying down for fifteen minutes, as compared with the amount pumped while standing. Ordinarily on prolonged quiet standing the output (amount of blood pumped) remains unchanged in individuals who show no distress as a result of long standing. How- ever the output of the heart de- creased in those, who, on long quiet standing, show poor or weak heart power. So don't be unwilling to remain in bed after an illness. Your hen-t will pump more blood and will get back some of its "reserve" strength in a shorter time. . SPECULA More than anything else the per- sistent dust storms in the central United States are raising wheat prices everywhere. In Winnipeg futures have gone to 90 cents a bushel for the first time in months. But Canada still has a. reserve of about 230,000,000 bushels, and ex- ports during the crop year begin- ning August l, i934, have been be- low those of last year. The Canad- ian wheat czar, Mr. McFarland. has predicted that Canada will have a carry-over of only 80,000,000 bush- els on August 1 next. If his proph- ecy is to be fulfilled the export movement must soon m speeded up.

The latter possibility is I. bit disconcert- ing. because life on 'the earth- not survive such a catas- trophe. Thc earth itself probably would be consumed. lit is therefore. assuring in learn that in, the few cases‘ where stars later ex- ploded were observed before the outburst it was found that they showed fairly large fluctuations in brightness for several years. The nova which appeared "in the con- stellation of Aquila in 191.8 for cz- ample, had been known for thirty years to be a variable star fluctuat- ing between the tenth and eleventh magnitudes. The sun has maintain- ed s gratifying equianimity through- out the period in which man has profited from its, ministrations. An increase of one stellar magni- tude is no small matter. It means that the Itas- at maximum was two and a half times as bright as at minimum. Although changes have been observed in solar variation, they are relatively minute. The sun showsno sign of serious instability. Its steady outpouring of just the amount of light and heat the earth requires is likely to continue for an indefinite number of millions of years. The interesting suggestion is made‘ by Dr. Gustaf Stromberg of the Mount Wilson Obmrvatory that explosive outbursts in stars may re- sult in the formation of ‘ ‘cry systems. If‘ that. is the case the sun surely has passed through the novastlge at least once. The idea is as Dr. Strombe ,, expresses it, that matter ejected from a star during an explosion "gradually settles down into the planets and satel- lites." Every so-called new star that appears in the firms-merit may be a signal that a great planetary con- struction job has been started. It is not unlikely that the now popular tidal theory of the orlln of planetary systems will go way of its predecessor, Laplecefls a tremendous strain on the laws. of probability to believe that a pess- ing star had such a close encounter with the sun that it drew out of the sun great streams of- matter which later con‘ ’ into planet's. Stars in general are so far apart that such close brushes must be ax» tremely rare. Dr. Strombergs idea makes a stronger appeal to com- mon sense. It also revives the pleas- ant picture of a universe filled with possible abodes of life. ‘The tidal theory, as expounded by Jean; and his followers. made man a lonely creature in an almost lifeless cosmos.
