RAIL WA Y COlilllll-SSIQV Canada! Board of Railway (‘omxllisrlollcrs has just passed its 30th birthday. lt was on March 20, i003, that the bill to create a ruli- way commission was introduced ln the House of Commons by ihe late lion. A. G. Blah", ‘Vlmistcr of Iallwsg-u in the Government of Sir Wilfrid Raurlcr. Up to that time dispulcs lxftwccn the railways and the publlt: as to rates and other matters had been deal‘. with by a. committee of the Dominion Cub- lnet. As lrufhc dcvclqpcd and plaulis inulcasecl there an nn independ- ent body, free from partisan, poll- tlcal and private influence, whose: duty it zvuulzl be in adjudicnic such Railway Board came into being. Mr. Blair became the first cllalrlnau of the new body. A numbcr of (llstlngulshed Calladuns have sericzl as c-lm- deal crcdli, lo lhvnlselvcs. These include the late Judge J. S.

He vrarned Lauricr, but his warning was not heeded. and from that time succeeding governments have multiplied the evils result- ant. until the Duff Commission's investigation forced the legisla- tion which ls now under consider- atlon, and in which the Railway Commission will play its part." A MAFEKING SIIILLING A scrip shilling issued during the siege of Mafeklng in 1900i was nuc- tioned at a ‘Ibmnto scout Fund campaign dinner, and brought $35. This recalls with new interest the way in which Colonel Baden-You'- ell solved the problem of tho town's currency shortage. The later orig- inator of the Boy Scouts had printed and signed by his army puymastcr a. voucher “good for the sum of 1s," and ‘backed by the pro- misc to exchange it for coin "on the resumption of the civil lavr." At the top of the voucher appeared the Lion and the Unicorn of the British coat of anus. The voucher sold in Toronto reads: “January 1900. N0. A 3266. Issued by the authority of Colonel R. s. s. Baden- Powell (Commanding the Rhod- esian forces.) This voucher is good for the sum of ls. and u-tll be ex- changed for coin at the Msfeking Branch of the Standard Bank on the resumption of civil law. (Sign- ed) H. Greener, Capt, Psymaster." CUB/PS FOREIGN TRADE Mr. 2.1.. M00011, Trade Commissioner Canadian at Havana, writes in the Commercial Intelli- gence Journal that the foreign trade of Cuba. in 1932, though u- nlouhtlug to the considerable sum of $131,686,000, was only about onc- fourth of what it. was in 1929. 1m. ports last year were valued at $57,014,000 snd exports st. $80,672,- 000. The welfare of the island is completely bound up ln sugar, and in the mam this must continue. m. present '70 per oent of her exports are of this product. Prices are so low that s large number of mills have been forced to close dawn, while those which have kept going have only done so by adopting the most drastic measures of economy. The industry, prodigal in its afflu- ent years, has through necessity become keen, intense, and frugal. Owing i0 the shrinkage in buying powers, imports have been affected very adversely. But the Cuban is very partial to certain food pro- ducts which are only obtainable abroad. One of the results of the depression is that he is growing more at home. Wheat. flour, po- tatoes, dried codfish, malt and hay are the principal imports 1mm Canada. EDITORIAL NOTES During a sitting of the Ontario Legislature last week there was not a solitary member of the Opposi- tion in his seat, so o. couple of Government supporters "crossed the floor of the House" just to make things look a little less deso- late. The local Opposition was flt-‘lfly in a similar predicament yesterday morning when Mr. Mc- Intyre moved an amendment to the the mnlorltv report of the Public Accounts Committee. There were so few Opposition members in their seats that a member of the press gallery had to go into the hall to sound the toscin and drum them back to their places.

It seems lronlcal that a. deed that might have been award- battlc, should prove the very in- strument of punishment in civil life. the toll that ls taken by public life, of the terrific tax upon energy and health imposed by nlodern government. There are people who think, or who seem to think, that govelnmcut is a sinecure, that it is mostly pomp and pageantry, with those engaging in it thriving on the exhilaration of applause. N0 con- ception of anything could possibly be more false. For the truth is that government, as carried on ln these days, is a crushing burden and a heartbreak. so throllged wlth wor- ries and anxieties, and failures and broken hopes, that. it is too much for human endurance. It wasn't. much of an earth- quake—lhat disturbance cl‘ March 10 in Southern California. The Los Angelcs Charmer of Commerce is authority for the statement that it was not to be classed “as n major earthquake," therefore it must have been but a minor earthquake. a ‘minor quake is nothing more than an incident, and what is an incident in the life of a great statc° The Chamber of Conlmcrce is rc- assuring. The ‘quake originated in the Pacific, it is said, and there is no‘ likelihood of a. recurrence for many years. “Only” a small area. of Southern California was afzect- ed. "Only" one life was lost. in Los Angeles, “due to collapse of a building." The shock was "only sufficiently great “lo destroy"this is a nice touch-“those buildings which arc unsuited to resist earthquake shook." Borrowing trouble-that is the last extreme of soul-torturing folly. And, strange to say, it is the com. nlonest of all practices, even among well-balanced, normal, sensible, wholesome human beings. There are some loans that are difficult to make, but this is not one of them. The loan brokers who deal in troub- le are always ready to accommo. date us: they are open for busin- ess night and day, sluldays and hfilidays, and at all other times. No collateral or other form of se- curity, or even good credit, is re- quired; we can borrow all the troubTe we want and no questions asked.

REAL EXERCISE NEEDED 1'0 REDUCE WEIGHT One of the things that would be amusing if it were not tragic about weight reduction is the manner in which some individuals take what they call their "daily strenuous ex- ercise." This exercise consists of bending the body from side to side 'or forward and back during which they allow their knees to bend Evidence is frequently given of lmuch may give the leg’ a “me exercise but has no effect upon the nllcldle thlrd of the body-the ab- clomen—where most of the excess weight really lles. Perhaps in addition b0 the bend- ing exercise they will take a leisure- ly walk of one or two miles. Now this much exercise will take off a. little weight but u. very little, as nearly 80 per cent of all tho food you cat is used up by the needs of the body itself. Thus if you ate 3000 calories of food each day 2400 would be used by the body for its ordinary needs. If after a. breakfast of cereal, bacon, toast and coffee st 8 o'clock, you weighed yourself and sat on s chair until 1 o'clock doing absolute- ly nothing, you‘d find that from 8 dclock until 1 o'clock your weight would llkely be at least three quar- ters of a pound lcss. Similarly from lunch time until your evening meal, s loss o1’ two pounds which means waste from the skin, kidneys, bowel, and lllngs. What would be the loss lf you walked around and dld the ordinary duties of the household or office? You might reasonably ex- pect to take off another two pounds. Thus every day you take into your system water and food by the lungs and stomach to the extent of 5 or 6 pounds and the body throws lt off again as waste. If you continue to eat more than you throw off naturally your weight will increase. If you continue eating this much and wish to decrease your weight you must do real hard work and pcrspire freely; To take off a. hnlf a pound a day means not less than one or two hours of exer- clse. You have thus the choice of de- nying yourself s. little food every day, or if you do not deny yourself, then exercise must be taken. Both ways mean sacrifice but for most overweight individuals cutting down on the food intake is the sim- plest. It is easier on the system not to put the weight on than it: ls to work hard to get it off. ' Cold Comfort (The Manchester Guardian) ’I‘hosc who are in search of a lit- tle seasons-bio reading may like to be lnfonned of a new volume of 738 pages which costs three gul- ness and which presents (accord- ing to the “Lancctb “in an orderly form the contents of 2.000 papers on the common oold, which appear to include everything of conse- quence which has ever been writ- ten on this subject." That seems to exclude various notes and verses which have appeared in this hum- ble oolumn from time to time on that perennial ‘topic: but never mind—you can't expect everything (not even for three guineas), and two thousand papers from medical men on the common cold ought to last even the most rapid reader through the best part of a well- estubiishcd cutarrh. It ls, of course, doubtful whether the work in question will do anything to alle- viate, remedy or prevent the dis- order w which it is devoted, but lt will be nice for the sufferer t0 know that at least I‘ his condition has been under consideration. Somebody has been thinking about him-two thousand times over- and that, surely, is evidence of dis- tinguished attention which ought not to be sneezed at Anglo-American friendship, which we rejoice to see that he described as "the cornerstone of America's foreign policy," on the most solid of all international foundations, which is something even stronger ‘than tommou interest on its more material side. Immediate interests may at times interrupt this sense of solidarity, put always the strong "common-scr-efl” to which Mr. Mel- lon alluded as charucterstlc of the two peoples, has kept breaking in, and recalled responsible statesmen to abiding realities and s remem- brance of the overriding magnitude of the Cause.

I cannot do better to enlighten those of my readers who have ne- ver visited this far-famed beauty spot. of moi-ids and its attractive- ness, than to quote descriptions in summary from various sources: "Created to provide a-retreat of natural beauty for the human, a refuge for birds, a study of South- ern planting and a harmohlfllls setting for the Singing Tower . . . are some of the attributes of the Mountain Lake Sanctuary. In its several purposes, as in all its tradi- tlons, the Sanctuary differs from a. public park." "Beauty personified describes this sanctuary with its rsreflow- ers and peaceful surrounding walks. There are gsrdenlss, roses, magnolias, acaclas, azaleas, DWI" settias, thousands of blooming trees, lines, and beautiful stretches of green sod, always ln harmony with the purpose of the Sanctuary."

"Mr. Anton Brecs is bell-mas- ter, and is generally accepted ls i the foremost carilloneur of the world." Our party had the. great good fortune to reach the sanctuary in time to listen to the regular pm- gramme of the bells, the silvery tones d! which could be heard from far sway and lasted, with in- termisslons, for an hour.
