Us Asing Canada and South Africa tie action of the South african government in withdrawing in Stantial part of the preference previously to British following upon the policy adopted by Australia of higher lion even great Britain shows the difficulty of closer Trade relations As a Means of binding the British together. A South african policy is one of Protection for Home ferries first of a11 am then pc frences to great Britain and dominions on a quid pro quo basis. Just How Canada will be cited will not be definitely known until the new schedules Are Trade Between Canada and South Africa has consider off Al t increased in the last fifteen years but it is a very one sided f de from which Canada has been getting practically All the la in 1911 our exports to South Africa amounted to they increased to in 1921, and then de Ted to for the year ending March 1924, partly due the Faw in or Ces our from South Africa on the other f d were 817 in 1911, they increased to in 1919, fell away again to for the fiscal year 1923-24. Motor cars newsprint and farm implements Are among our Jinn exports to South Africa. Finance minister Havenga Ted in pc cult budget speech that the slight duty on farm implements from other parts of Tho Commonwealth would be moved entirely but that the duty on motor cars would be i creased. Canada will also receive preferential rates on wheat i Vantage. Twine White Lead and newsprint. On the whole How Over the manufacturing industries of this country will hardly Benefit from the More protective policy of South Africa. The Oliv of further protecting Home industries by reducing in preference Serra ivc party to Grout Britain is also advocated by the con in Canada. In some cases they would probably Jpe out the. Preference. Into yet the economic unsoundness of a policy on the part of tace dominions of shutting off imports from great Britain is apparent to anyone who considers that the dominions All desire to Market their natural products in great Britain but that Shea not pay for them if she cannot do so largely with goods and in that Case she will buy wherever she can do so to advantage Canadian producers at least certainly believe that the British Market is Worth holding and Worth cultivating in Everyway possible. And while there Are limitations to the extent to which Fisca policies can be Vised to bind the British nations together it i certainly True that the erection of higher Tariff Walls within the c Immo wealth is liable to have a contrary make each on one Page. This seems reasonable of the British nations More self centred and to put them farther of have a sports Page and a to t i i Man s Pace and a Cable Page so Why apart. The party in Canada however which is supposed to be Ultra Loyal to British connection and which raises such an alarm St even the suggestion of better Trade relations with the United states now urges the adoption of a policy that would shut out British imports and impede the marketing of Canadian products is policy which certainly does not make for better off Linz and co operation within the Commonwealth.

Conservation of health great Britain has gone on Daylight saving time for the summer by act of parliament. But no doubt not times about it. This is save the Forest week. It is Good business to save the forests. We require the Wood everywhere except in parliament. When we All come to take our last drop let us Hope that Tho Parachute does not fail to open. Chauncey Depew says that Over eating is the curse of the american continent. Well there Are portions of the world where there in t much Over eating. Is it just possible that the propaganda being used in Europe to Knock Canada is being taken from the columns of the Montreal Star California is to build trunk motor Highway lines Between the principal cities. They will be through routes and no local traffic will be permitted on them. Crossroads will either go Over or under the main lines and the Speed limit will be not less than thirty Miles an hour. The world is sweeping where the editor of the Des Molnes Register puzzled Over charges that newspapers Are responsible for crime decided co Experiment for a week by putting All. The crime news the past Twenty years. The pres ent government of great Britain though it has behind it All the protectionist sentiment of the country shows no disposition to tamper with Mere is the objection the fact that Premier King last session and again this session has taken a Short Holiday in the United great Britain s fiscal system while steles is criticized by some conservative politicians who seem to in hard up for party capital. If the prime minister needs a rest from the Vury exacting duties of his Osice the Best thing to do is to get entirely away from them and from the people who constantly wish to interview him. And Why not secure lilt immunity by visiting the United states quite Friendly relations exist Between Canada and the United states. We should be pleased to have any prominent american panic men visit we Ere when the late president hard lag tis Teci Vancouver and when or. Hoover came to Toronto not too ago. Where then is there anything inappropriate in the Cana Dian prime minister taking a holi Day to the United states especially in the Early Spring when the weather is Milder in the South y objection to the King of England visiting Italy to rest and recuperate or is there any reason tk7 British statesmen when in s de of a rest should not take it a he South of France tie complaint about Premier King exhibition of pettiness and is Anada will certainly not submit herself to any self denying Ordi Nance in the matter of Industrial development. Canadians Are very pleased to see industries of All kind develop provided they do not ask for too much coddling in the Way of Tariff Protection. Toe to a constant desire to create a prejudice against any kind at relations with the United sates. An Echo there is an Echo of the old fiscal waged by Chamberlain in suggestion of the chairman of As reported by Cable that great Britain should give Canada a reference in foodstuffs and in re 111111 Canada should abandon her t the re of steel and Iron and o great Britain for these pro far suggestion was or ten made that Campaign that Canada limit her manufacturing is in various lines for the of British factories Ana take her Reward in the form preferential treatment for her of natural products to the Market proposition did not get very w either Side of the Atlantic. The British people declined to Taj food products for the Benefit Dominion producers and can a showed no inclination to forego ambition to develop into an in _ r Al country. There i3 Little indication of any change in popular not a crime Page the first Day of he new policy the editor had nine Een crime stories for his crime Page which was t so bad for a Start. Once the Public becomes better acquainted with the objective of the editor they Wilt see no doubt that Here is enough crime to keep the Page going nicely. It would be in Brt Unate to see a new idea killed owing to a Lack of local support. Portugal has been having a sort of revolution. Portugal used to be a monarchy now it is a Republic. At one time the people rebelled against the monarchy now they rebel against the Republic. Forms of government Are not really Asim portent As forms of Heads. Education. Expecting a Good Deal while there is reason to hat a great Deal of Public Money could be saved by a better organization of tha government depart ments at Ottawa Tho trouble is More with overlapping of depart ments and with retaining too Large staffs than with the salaries that Are paid to civil servants. There Are some cases at least where the government seems to expect a Good Deal of service for a comparatively Small remuneration. The civil ser vice commission recently advertised for applications for a position the salary for which began at and Rose with annual increase s to in five years. It was stated that the appointee would have to be a University graduate in science. He would be required to perform and. Highly specialized and he would have to possess the following qualifications experience in metallurgical or Industrial chemical work supervisory ability considerable knowledge of modern office methods. There May be difficulties in classifying the government employees but when men with Good qualifications Are engaged for special and responsible work it would seem advisable to give them commensurate remuneration. As it is the Cana Dian civil service has lost a Largo number of. Its specialists and tech Nical men to the United states. It would be unfortunate if Young canadians of training and ability Radho leave the country because of the unwillingness the government to fairly recognize their. Services. Meaningful fact that the the lowly Penny from the Portland oregonian it 13 a Maxim of i of our Wii heir theme in the lowly Penny or its such sayings born of Sharp experience and though standards of living have everywhere changed and for the better the Pru of the Penny Are yet we observe with interest that or. Wayne Munn Lias lost the heavy weight wrestling championship of the world. Or. Munn who is nearly seven feet High and weighs 260 pounds arrived on the scene As a Champion when he picked up strangled Lewis and threw him out among the audience. The Strangler. However landed on the Cement in Stead of on the customers and was unable to continue with any Success. Munn then to came Champion. The new Champion struck by the Success of this method continued it. Wrestling is a. Science it has grips and holds and catches which a Wres tier is to understand but or. Munn did not bother about the old methods. When he wrestled he simplified things he stepped up to his opponent seized him quickly by tie legs and neck and up into the Back gallery those of his opponents who survived the first throw and were handed Back into tha ring Svere promptly picked up Fry or. Munn and tossed out of the building. Two throws were Aln Rayo enough. Or. Munn it was supposed had passed beyond the need of As a wrestler he waa a Green hand but As a. Donkey engine he was a bad boy for the wrestlers to embrace so or. Munn was wearing his laurels High and handsome but also wide open. On april 15 he encountered old or. Zbyszko aged fifty three and this old wrestler Lias restored our Faith in the benefits of education. Biscuits declined to be picked up by the legs and Hung around the Gas lights and before or. Munn. Had re. Covered from his Surprise biscuits has stretched him out and was sit Ting on his head. This happened twice and or. Munn is now an sex Champion. This All goes to prove once again that while main strength May carry by or. T. C. Routley general Secre tary of the Canadian medical association insect bootleggers of disease from the Arctic Circle to the tropics from Montreal to Mandalay a swarm of living creature s lie in wait for Man and beast. From the beginning of history these pests have known though people did not understand their dangers. They merely endured their discomforts. Parts of the world Are still Unin habitable by human beings because of deadly insects which Fly through the air or crawl on the Earth in search of blood. Central America was one such Region until the pan Ama canal had to be built. Then Man with his new knowledge of the. Deadly Mosquito made War on the bootleggers of disease and through science conquered these terrors of the Jungle sufficiently to do the work in comparative safety. Entomologists today Tell us. How Ever that tha menace of insect life to human life is very real and that our worst Battles lie before us if we Are to finally conquer these myriad enemies. Ancient Man oiled and anointed himself in order 10 discourage crawl ing biting things. Being without soap or disinfectants he was compelled to Oil his body or suffer Tor Tures. In the to Scuito infested wild places of Canada where men go fishing canoeing or Hunting they still anoint themselves with evil smelling drugs in order to keep a whole up to about fifty years ago people tried to avoid insect pests merely because they caused annoyance. Then came a great Awakening. Pasteur with other devoted medical scientists discovered that Many Dis eases were caused by Micro Organ isms which could be. Seen under the Microscope. Once these germs were recognized As the vampires they Are research turned in another direction. As germs had neither wings nor legs How did they get about winged infection widespread epidemics of deadly diseases occurred it was apparent that the germs did not go from person to person. Among such diseases Are bubonic plague malaria typhoid fever yellow fever Antl typhus All of which May spread with out Contact Between the infected and the . For More than a Hundred years doctors were suspicious of such in sects As files fleas mosquitoes and ticks before these were actually Dis covered to be the Man killing Dis ease carriers we now know that they Are. In 1878 a doctor called Manson resident in Africa established the fact that a certain kind of Mosquito transmitted a disease of the tropics called elephantiasis. This affliction causes the limbs to swell enormously and usually ends in a distressing death from general poisoning. Or. Manson by experimentation pinned the crime of carrying elephantiasis to the Mosci Ulto. Hon Dis covery caused quite a but people said How interesting Only it s in Africa and anything can Hap pen ten years later Hor Vever. In the eighteen eighties Texas cattle fever began to sweep the continent. It threatened to wipe out the whole cattle Industry. Business men be up a howl. Scientists became act Lvi and even governments moved. It was not Long before proof was Forth coming that cattle fever was Spreat by a certain tick. It was shown too that Young ticks inherited the infection so that it was not even Neces sary for ticks which had Beon on sick cattle to bite healthy animals to Weir numerous progeny securely Laid on the suffering animals at tended to All that. Thus the lesson of insect transmitted diseases came Home to us on this continent. It was found necessary to dip All affected herds in Strong disinfectants to kill the devastating ticks and the whole Texas fever problem was thereafter solved. The scientists by their efforts had saved the country tens of millions of dollars and one More insect having been discovered was lost. Preventing malaria then or. Ross an eminent British medical Man proved that malaria is carried by the Mosquito with the result that malaria has never been be the nature and size of the task ahead. If bubonic plague is Ever a terminated rats must go first but meantime through knowledge of heir habits and those of their fleas be partially control bubonic plague. Typhoid fever germs May be car led by the common House Fly. If human filth is not properly disposed files alighting on it May carry disease germs to milk or other food and these later reach the human Mouth. A Fly soiled with infected waste May introduce into a can of milk the seeds of infection for an extensive epidemic of typhoid fever. Hence our nation wide War today on he far too common House Fly tul Aremia or Deer Fly fever a disease affecting Many wild animals in some sections of the Rocky mountains is carried to Man by the horse Fly. All five doctors who demonstrated this fact took the disease but All happily recovered. From the work of Stu dents and martyrs to science we have Learned to look with suspicion on most of the insects which Fly crawl or Burrow. So numerous and so deadly Are the diseases insects carry that the responsibility for waging an unrelenting merciless War on them heavily on us All. Protect the Birds which feed on insects. Screen even door and window. Swat the Fly. Never Trust an insect even so far As you can see it. Areader solotes politics of the be the easy argument of thru less. Great is the Penny the r. This country of will never be nig Ard of purse and none would if we the have it so. But upon this question during Penny is entitled to respect who finally takes the highest honors. The daily of Sam Slough Jav Utec pc in feature by n tree press stuff Tvr iter. It is now easier to get a Young Man to fill a saxophone than a pair of so prevalent since. Soon after that a group of four heroic medical men in the United states under or. Walter Reed began to search for the insect causing the spread of yellow fever one of the most deadly diseases known. They conducted a number of Haz ardous experiments on themselves first and later on Volunteer workers. Mosquitoes fed on yellow fever patients were allowed to bite the Doc tors. Or. Carrol came Down with the disease and almost lost his life. Or. Seager took it next and decl after a few Days Deler Lum and Black vomit. More than 80 per cent of the volunteers also took the disease and an army nurse Clara Maas died of it. 4.gain the Mosquito was proven a destroying Angel but through Sacri fice of human life the Way was shown to prevent a death dealing Scourge. A most interesting Point about the Mosquito is the fact that the female is in truth More deadly than the male for she Only trans mits the disease. This phenomenon is explained by the fact that the male Mosquito is a vegetarian. He feeds on fruit juices and has no hankering for Man s blood. Typhus was once a terrible Scourge through the it still remains a Scourge in Russia where thousands of ill fed ill housed unclean people have died of it since the War. For Long Ages no one knew How it was transmitted. Then a group of doctors got Busy who proved beyond a doubt that typhus was carried by the body Louse. No body Louse no typhus. Nice simple Little truth to discover but of the six Young doctors who went to Mexico to study typhus three took it and two died so that the names of Ricketts of. Chicago and Cornell of Columbus were added to. The list of science soldiers who have fallen in the fight against disease carrying insects. In certain parts of British. Columbia a tick resides whose bite causes a disease similar in Tomc respects to Cerbaro spinal meningitis but i which is Liot meningitis be cause when tick is located and it has caused May Clear up in .24 hours. It is Well to beware of the whole tick family. Fleas carry bubonic plague bubonic plague too once threat ened it is now in control in most countries because research has shown that it is car ried by the fleas which live on rats. Rats infest wharves Ware houses granaries old houses. They Are tremendously prolific. They Breed throughout the year beginning when they Are Only three or four Rno hts old. In year a pair of rats May produce Over. Progeny and in three years under favourable conditions their May number Over with an approx Douk Hollors and the schools. Judging from Ali appearances the Oliver government of British Colum Bia is in end of trouble with the Douk Scibor communities located in the Nelson and grand Forks districts according to a correspondent of the free press. Since the tragic death of Peter Jefe Iii in a train Accident last autumn the Soukho Bors have been getting More and More out of hand. All the schools used exclusively for the teaching f Dou Hobor children remaining at the time of Veregin s death have been destroyed by fire and neither Blan Dishmen nor threats will induce the Dou Kobors to Send their children to occupy the few remaining mixed schools which were formerly attended by Dou Hobor children. The attitude of the Dou Kobors the Cor respondent states is due in a measure to their belief that Veregin As they put it lost his life because of Canadian Laws. Just what they mean by that claim the average a Nadlman finds it difficult to under stand but they make it reasonably Clear that they have very Little use for the Laws of British Columbia and that they do not intend to obey them. As a consequence of the refusal of the Dou Kobors in the grand Forks District to take advantage of the school accommodation provided by the authorities fines aggregating More than Forir thousand dollars were imposed upon forty eight parents of Dou Hobor children in a sentia. The grand Forks authorities having imposed the fines proceeded with the assistance of a Large Force of provincial police to seize the goods and chattels of the offend ing Dou Kobors. Such a display of determination on the part of the authorities of grand Forks the Cor respondent avers May be attended by a considerable degree of Success but in the More isolated Brilliant District near Nelson where Tho Dou Hobor settlement does not 1m nine upon the Borders of an eng in municipality the problem will he even More difficult and the people if British Columbia Are wondering ust How Premier Oliver is going to Good his assertion that the Dou Kobors must either obey the a or leave British Columbia. Since the recent demonstrations of on the part of these people or Oliver has hedged to the extent saying that it is impossible to Iccomb Plush a task of such magnitude a a Day or two. He has hinted that May be necessary to wait until he legislature meets late in the year and passes some additional Legisla Ion before the government will be in a position to accomplish its Pur of making the Dou Kobors obey the Law. Protests reduction of Rural constituencies the Ferguson government by its redistribution Bill passed at the end of the recent session of the Ontario legislature reduced considerably the.

But is that not so in the novel or the or the Mere article we read a Good Many Dull and stodgy Short stories for our sins. An article of interest to canadians is about sir William Osier As regius professor of Medicine at Oxford and his work there As master of an ancient almshouse at Ewel Nie and its thirteen pensioners a work carried on by lady Osier. The almshouse was founded in 1437. A a Duchess Alice who was Chaucer s grand daughter and lived in a magnificent in Ewelme Park. The lady s Tomb of Alabaster is in the Church built by herself and her second husband. The Beautiful Tomb has an inscription beseeching Peren Nial prayers for Princess Alice Duchess of Suffolk founder of the almshouse. The institution is of great historic interest. The name Ewelme Means Spring or source of a and there pm by the Church the Clear water gushes Forth and flows in River held Bounds by a Stone curbing. The first master of the almshouse was a certain sir John Keynes Bury but it was not until 1603 that King James i. Wedded the master ship to the regius professorship of Oxford.

The Sun also protests against a fifty per cent increase in Toronto a representation while the great coun try North of the lakes with in crease of 20 per cent in population in ten years receives no additional representation.
