Hard o= the heels of the statement
made by E. W. Beatty, president of
the Canacian Pacific Railway, that
the greatest help the United States
could g#ve Canada would be to con-
sume all 3f the wheat it raises, comes
the report oy the United States De-
partment of Agriculture that white
bread #s a wholesome nutritious food,
and sould be eaten as part of a bal-
anced dint.
During the past five years the|
United States Department of Agri- |
culture har found that there has|
grown up in the United States a dis-|
tict fear of white bread, a sentiment
create? largely by propagandists of |
wheat substitutes. So the amount of |
white bread consumed has been)
gradually diminishing. |
~ But jive rationally known matnorted
ties on atetetics announce that white
and whole wheat bread should be
eaten as part of a balanced diet. *
__ Economisés and farmers looking to
the business side of the picture, see
dire disaster facing wheat farmers
; anti-wheat bread propagandists
have their way. The diminishing
demand for white bread spells fur-
a demoralization of the American
wheat farmer.
_ The American people today con-
sume three bushels of wheat out of
“every four raised in the United

try Has Been d By
Use Of Electrical Appliances |
According to the Detroit News, an |
electric thrill is quickening agricul-
ture. There are 150,000 miles of
electric lines now in service furnish-
ing current for farm uses. These ru-
ral extensions have occurred so rap>
idly that the number of electricity |
users added to the rural group during
the past eight years is about equal |
to the total number of buyers of cur-
rent at the end of the first quarter
century of the history of the electric |

|

| light and power industry in this) jessness.

country.

This rush order for more “juice’’ |
may have its influence in providing |
more jobs in the cities. The intro-|
duction of electricity at first means |
only better lights. But with the new]
light turned on, all sorts of desira- |
ble helpers begin to offer iene
selves. }

There are few processes on the]
farm that can not be quickened by

| the use of electricity. In Sweden,
ywhere rural electrification has
|reached remarkable development,

plows are drawn across the fields by
portable motor tractors taking their
current from trolleys.

But the greatest use of electricity
on the farm is as chore boy. It
pumps water, turns the feed grinder
and onsilage cutter, hoists the hay,
hatches chicks and prepares their
feed, milks the cows, refrigerates
the milk and operates the churn.

The demand prompted by these
new rural wires will be for ma-
chines and more machines. The
pessimist should get a thrill out of
such contemplation.

Doctor and Chef Disagree

As To Whether Food Should Be
Served In Regular Order

Is there a good and sufficient rea-
son why the soup should come before
the fish or the sweet and savory at
the end and not at the beginning of
dinner?

_ Sir Arbuthnot Lane, president of |
the New Health Society, said to a
London Daily Mail reporter:

‘In my opinion we could very well |
do without such dishes as soup and |
hors d'oeuvres, and there is no rea- |
son in the world why the rest of
the dishes which make up the or-
dinary dinner should not be trans-

It is nonsense to say that dishes
are placed in their, present order to
stimulate appetite and aid diges-
tion.” :

M. Latry, chef of the Savoy Res-
that
the conventional order was the re- |
sult of centuries of thought and
study on the part of the world's
best cooks.

“It has been worked out scientific-
ally,” he said. “It has been found
that the gastric juices are stimulat-
ed by hors d'oeuvres, and that soup,
containing meat juices, aids diges-
tion.”

Adults and Children Haye Developed
Very Bad Habit

Dr. Donald Fraser, the © school
Medical Officer in Stratford, Ont.,
says some children are underweight
because they do not go to bed early.
They get up in the morning late and
tired, and are not ready for a good
breakfast.

It might be possible to say the
same thing about a good many
adults. There is a tendency to stay
out late at nights, and it is a habit
that produces a lot of; silly -rest-

Almost any night in the week
young people can be seen prowling
around; they have nothing particu-
lar to do, and yet it does not seem
to occur to them to go home. They
don’t read; they do not pursue any
particular hobby; they specialize
largely in staying out late at night
and keeping the folk at home awake
wondering if they are coming in at
all. <
They must have something to eat
down town at night when they do
not need it. If they were actually
hungry they could do their eating at
home.

A person who works hard all day
needs rest at night and plenty of it;
a child who is growing needs the
same thing, and there is no substitute
for it. =

We do not wonder that Dr. Fraser
has found children who need rest in
order to get up ip the morning in
shape for a good hearty breakfast.
There cre a good many youths and
adults setting them a very poor ex-

The World’s Greatest Travellers

England Leads Nations In Proportion
To Population

It is sometimes said that Ameri-
cans are given to travel more than
the people of any other country.
The official French statistics, how-
ever, do not indicate that they pre-
dominate among the visitors to
France. Last year 870,000 English
tourists ‘crossed the Channel and
534,000 Spanish visited the neigh-
boring country, while only 220,000
Americans landed at French ports.
No one can tell how many Ameri-
cans would visit France if it were as
easy for them to get there as it is
for the Span‘sh and the English
Considering the expense and the
length of the journey, the number of
Americans who make the trip is sur-
prisingly large. The money they
spend, including the fare paid to the

French Steamship companies, in- |
creases the annual income of the
country and compensates it to

some extent for what it may lose |
because of the effect of the Ameri-
can tariff on its exports. But the}
English, in proportion to their popu- |
lation, doubtless do more pero eg
than the people of any other nation. |

Higher Than Everest

Mountain In Asia May Take First |
Place If Accurately Measured |
There has been much discussion |
lately of the possibility that Mount |
Everest may lose its pride of place |
as the highest of the world’s moun-
3.
Dr. Rock has just returned to the
United States after a three year's
expedition in Asia, during the
course of which he reached the}
headwaters of the Yellow River and |
the Amnyi Machen Mountain range.
This unexplored range of moun-
tains is one of the greatest in all
Asia. While actual measurements
were not taken, as Dr. Rock had no
theodolite, he estimated the high- |
est peak to be over 28,000 feet.
Everest is just over 29,000 feet, and
it is possibe that more exact meas-
urement may reveal that the Amnyl
Machen can go a few feet better.
One British explorer is said to con-
sider this likely, but we won't know
for certain until the surveyors get
busy.

Clean Farm

Eternal Vigilance Necessary In Order
To Control Weed Menace

Things are never so bad but what
they might be worse and, while in
the case of the weed problem on
some faru.s this inight be a matter
for doubt, it is nevertheless true
that there is always growing room
for a few more if they be allowed
to go unchecked.

Aside from the common ordinary
routines of rotation, hoeing, smother
crops and so forth, there are a
few factors which are somewhat
neglected in common control prac-
tice and which are of prime impor-
tance to the individual as means of
control. In the first place a keen
weather eye should be kept for new
appearances. All of our common
weeds were introduced at some time
or other, and at some time or other
in their career on any one farm they
could have been attacked with com-
parative ease. A new weed in nine
cases out of ten gets its first start in
a community or farm because there
is only a small amount of it and,
since it is an unknown quantity, it is
lightly regarded.

Another case to the same point is
the checking up on the possible
sources of new weeds. The sowing
of clean seed has been pretty thor-
oughly stressed and at any rate “it
is too late now to do anything about
it, other than to make resolutions
for this fall and next year, but there
is another source of weed seeds
which can still be checked up on
and that is the threshing machine.
That the grain separator has been
a serious offender in past years can-
not be denied, and everybody should
insist that it have a thorough clean-
ing before it comes on the farm.

However, the thresherman is not
the only one to blame in connec-
tion with the threshing factor of
weed seed distribution and he is pro-
bably a good deal more innocent than
the man who cheerfully shovels all
the refuse from the machine out the
back barn doors into the barnyard.
There is no excuse for any other
treatment of the screenings from the
separator than a good bon-fire im-
mediately the machine has left and
the small amount of chicken-feed
which is lost will be amply made up
for in weed reduction.

There are many points involved
in the business of weed control and
the smaller ones outlined. above are
quite as important as those which in-
volve a great deal more labor and
sweat. Mternal vigilance is the price
ot a clean farm.

When the Bolshevik Scored

No Come-Back For Either Doctor Or
Architect

We all must agree that when it
comes to the question of occupation
or profession, the character of either
should be of far greater importance
than consideration of priority.

A doctor, an architect and a bol-
shevik were discussing the priority
of their occupations.

The doctor said: “When Adam's;
side was opened and a rib removed
to make woman there was a surgical
operation—medicine was the oldest
profession.”

The architect said: “Yes, but when
the earth was made out of chaos,
there was the buliding process, the
use of materials according to plan.
The architect is therefore the oldest.”

The bolshevik smiled and said:
“But who supplied the chaos?”

For one invention alone — a new
electric light—Edison made notes ex-
tending to 40,000 pages.

Study Of Matters Pertaining To Good
Health Is Of Paramount
Importance

Around the great exhibit of the
Department of Health, of Great Bri-
tain, at the famous Wembly Exhibi-
tion of 1924, one read the words
“There is no wealth but life.” The
meaning was well illustrated by the
many marvellous inventions which
were devised by the skill of man to
preserve this wealth that the race
might be rich.

Unfortunately it does not always
follow that health is purchasable, else
many a millionaire would be the pos-
sessor of that strength of body and
mind which the rich often find so
elusive. Like the rain which falls up-
on the just and the unjust, the divine
laws which govern the quality of
health a man enjoys, are as impar-
tial as the sunshine.

One of the commonest of tragedies
of this age of rush and hurry is the
fact that health has somehow eluded
one’s grasp. In the multitudes of pos-
sessions one has failed to possess
one’s soul in patience, and the re-
sult is sleepless nights and restless
days. Or again, there is the irony
of being able to provide in abundance
all the bounties of the table, and yet
to lack the one thing needful — a
good digestion.

Rayon and Real Silk

Shopper Can Tell Difference By Few
Easy Tests _

It is obviously important to be able
to distinguish between rayon and silk.
A few easy tests, made with samples,
will give the shopper this knowledge.

Rayon is more lustrous than silk
and looks even more silky than silk
itself. Silk burns slowly with a smell
like burning hair, while rayon burns
with a flash. Wet silk threads are
virtually as strong as dry silk, as the
shopper can tell by trying to break
the wet fhread; but wet rayon
threads are weak, and the fibres can
be pulled apart like the fibres in a
wet blotter. _ FS ake

Rayon threads slip very easily. If
the end of a piece of rayon is pulled
apart, the threads will come apart

without “diriculty. Silk threads do/

not ‘slip so easily. ~

The Atlantic

Nova Scotia Coast Has Always
Figured In the News Regarding
Missit Ships
Sable Island, that “wraveyard of
the Atlantic,” off the Nova Scotia
coast, has etemys figured in the
news. Art item répemduced by the
Halifax Chronicle from an old news-
paper file of June, 1826, tells how
the British Government granted an
allowance of 400 pounds sterling for
the support of the lighthouse on the
island, provided a similar sum was

by the of
Nova Scotia. The grant was regard-
ed “as a fresh instance, if indeed
any were wanted, of that liberality
which distinguished the gifts of our
maternal government.” The vwriter
felt that Canada (now Ontario and
Quebec), and New Brunswick should
contribute to the upkeep of the
lighthouse. The item read as follows:
“By the last packet, advices have
been received from the British Gov-
ernment allowing 400 pounds ster-
ling per annum towards the support
of the establishment on the Island
of Sable, provided @ like sum be cor
tributed by the legislature of the
province. This grant we consider
amply sufficient for the purpose, and
as a fresh instance, if indeed any
were wanted, of that liberality which
distinguishes the gifts of our mater-
nal government. While upon this
subject, we would beg to remark that
we cannot see on what principle of
justice Canada and New Brunswick
can refuse to furnish a certain quota
of the exp for this
ment. They reap the benefit as well _
as we do. For example, there have
been five vessels cast away upon
the island this season—two of these,

are much inclined to hope that the
correspondence which has been open-
ed by His Excellency with the neigh-

sequence of an address by the assem-
bly during the late session, will end
by making such an arrangement as
will be due to our claims of justice.”
