There are tough and easy cows to milk, and anyone who has struggled with a few of the former variety has some knowledge of how tired the hands and wrists can become. Incidentally, milking of cows is one of the best ways to develop a strong grip, strong wrists and forearms. One cham- pion university wrestler used to attribute the strength of his grip to milking days on the farm. There might be some merit in having con- gressmen and members of Parliament engage in removing the fluid from the udders of cows if ottly it were not done as a burlesque. If leaders in political life——and industrial and busi- ness life also—had to get 11p and milk half a dozen each before breakfast for a few wccks. they would have a keener appreciation of thc work the farmer docs for his somewhat meagre financial returns. Thcy might be inclined :0 regard the problems of those engaged in agri- culture in :1 more sympathetic manner. 1 Editorial Notes r The llattle of B-‘lllllOCklJllFll was won by the Scots this date. 1314.

The United Church conference took a good deal for granted when it passed a resolution condemning the use of cigarettes by young wo- men. and counselled its ministers to expose "the evils of the use of tobacco" and to discourage its use "in all its forms." Men of rare niety tn the cloth from Charles Kingsley to some of the members of the recent United Church con- ference have found solace to the nerves and an aid to calm reflec- tion by making a. burnt offering to My Lady Nicotine. It's one thing to deride Junior attempting his first. whiff behind the woodshed by picturing his cigarette as "a little tobacco rolled in a small piece of paper. with a little llizht at one end and a little fool at the other." It's quite another thing to list cigarette smrklng among the sins. and to divide the sexes over its use. After all. a. woman is either a human being or she ls not a human belniz. ff she ls a human belnt: she is entitled to all the rights and privileges of a human being-including the right to smoke a cigarette without being farmed with a scarlet letter.

Because the London County Council does not. know the exact site of the shop of Thomas Chip- pendale, the great 18th century craftsman in wood, it has stud- iedly refrained from affixing one of its descriptive plaques lo any of the buildings in st. Martin's Lane in the neighborhood in which he lived and worked. It is known that Chippendale rented three houses in the lane and that his workshop, then described as being "near St. Martin's Lane", was destroyed by fire in 1755. The three houses at G0, 61 and 62 which Chippendale occupied were demolished almost 50 years ago. It. has accordingly seemed inap- propriate to mark any of the ex- lstlng buildings on these sites.

This situation is not a new thing in the world. for kings of old were autocrats whose lightest whim was 111w; but one must go far back in history to find such rulers who made them- selves great. The kings of modern times were ordinary men, guided by their ministers. Moreover, they were restrained by certain codes of behavior and unwritten laws, for their first duty was to be gentlemen. And ‘Clirlatlin gentle“- men are not likely to be a men- ace to the world. The new strong men are a different breed. They are not hampered by precedent or ethical standards or codes of morality. They never learned that certain things "simply aren't done" by gentlemen.

Llghtninl aa well aa Monti!!! Unfortunately some "u. have stated that. there should be a bowel movement after every meal, because Nature meant that; every five or alx hours (by which time the stomach is completely empty) food should be eaten and as the food leaves the stomach and enters the small bowel. tlie_ impulse to send it dOWIW/flffl should be continued to the large bowel and thus in time the large bowel would in tum cast the wastes from the body. Most physicians however are of the opinion that n. bowel move- ment once a day is sufficient. On the other hand, Dr . Walter Alvarez. Mayo Clinic, states that the regularity of the bowel move- merit; is the important point and that many individuals with a bowl movement every two or three days enjoy excellent health-no head- aches and no digestive disturb- ances. However. there la no question but that constipation with irreg- ularity of bowel movement not only affects the individual phy- sically but also greatly upsets him mentally as he feels that all the poisons in the wastes of the large bowel are being absorbed into his blood and that; this poisoned blood is being carried to all parts of the body, including the brain. Dr. Alvarez tells us that. the "weight." of the wastes affects the nerves and causes some of the "tired" symptoms. I have spoken before of the two kinds of constipation, (a) the spastic type due to nervousness and emotional disturbances which, by causing a spasm of jhe large intestine, makes the circular mus- cles tighten down on the wast-es thus preventing them passing downward and out of the body, and (b) the ordinary constipation due to laziness or lack of enough tightening or squeeziri; of the 1n- tiestlnal muscles to push the wastes onward and downward. The first or spastic type ls help- ed by trylng to have the individ- ual relax more, not get upset or excited easly, and also to avoid rough foods; the second type (lazy bowel) is helped by exercise. coarse foods, and sometimes a. simple laxative such as senria, cascara, or magnesia. Establishing a. daily bowel habit -on arising or immediately after breakfast-ls a good mental and physical tonic.

Liberal) The contract let. by the Canadian Government to the q John mglrs Company of Toronto ror the manu- facture of 7.000 Bren machine guns raises certain important questions, which can best be introduced by sunurmrlziniz the conditions whicn apparently surround the transac- tion. Shortly after the war the Government expro riated the Ross Rifle works at uebec, and its machinery was stored away. This machinery. or part. of is now helm: loaned to the John Inglis Company. to assist: it 1n the manu- facture of t-he machine guns. The contract is on a 00st plus 10 cent. profit; basis, which means t the John Inglis Company cannot lose money, ut. is sure of get-ting a l0 per cent profit on the arranged 00st of the guns. The Department. of National De- fence makes the claim that. by let.- Ltmz this contract on these terms the public treasury will save $250- 000. whlch works out at. a llttte more than $35 a gun. This is a very substantial saving, so large indeed one betziris to ask questions about. what: the cost. per gun is. If the John Inglis contrac involves such actual savings. the total amount. of the contract must. be very large indeed, and the total profit. oorres g large also. The Free Press claims no expert knowledge about, the cost. of Bren machine guns; but anyone with military experience in the Last war knows that its predecessor. the Lewis gun. was a simply construct.- ed weapon: and it. is hardly likely that. any new standard model for general use in armies ls going to be a difficult, complex weapon to operate. Under conditions of mass Droductlon. the cost. of machine guns should be fairly small, and it ls imforturmtely true that we muam now look forward to the mass pro- dulctzion of every kind of war mater- 1a Another question that arises in connection with this contract. is the fact. that. the same John Inglis Company also has a. contract. for the production o; 5.000 Bren nu for the British Government. - sumably the total of 12.000 Elm-B Wm be run off at. the same time 1n me John Inglis plant. Presumably. also. the Ross rifle, Canadian Govern- ment-owned equipment loaned to the John Inglis Company will be used for the production of the Brit- ish iruns as well as the Canadian weapons. Presumably, also, t-he cost oer unit. will be reduced- by the 1818- er sire of the total order the John Inglis Company has on its books. This raises the question of the recent statement oi the Hon. Ian MacKenzle. lVlinlster 0t.’ NB-l-lwlll Defence, in the House of Commons, that the Canadian Government were playing no part, directlgor indirect.- lv. in the letting of rmsh Gov- ernment munitions contracts in this country. One may venture the suggestion that the conditions in the John Inal-lsuplant. during the manufacture of ese 12,000 mach- ine nuns, will approximate some form o1 supervision; and it ls hard to believe that. the two contracts, the Canadian and the British, were let. to the John Inglis pony quite separately and dependently; and it: ls still harder to believe that Government machinery loaned to the John Inglis Company will not. be used for the production of the British Runs. N0 suggestion ls being made that there ts anything sinister in this transaction; but it, is worth while calling the attention of the C adian public to this situation. which is only one of many which will develop during the next. few years. Two considerations force this upon us. The first. is that. willy- ntlly. there is going to be the great.- esl; difficulty 1h keeping the re- armament nrommmes of the Brit- ish and Canadian Governments smart: and that it will be a miracle if. in the process, relationships are not, built up which in one way or another will become indirect com- mfttmenls of the Canadian Govern- ment to the British Government, in unite of the official lsolwtlonlsm of the Ottawa administration. The sec- ond consideration is that. the super- vision of war profile must shortly become a major problem for th e Degent of National Difence. ING EFFECT 01-‘ lung“ Solicitor: .
