The Presbyterian, Toronto :-- The Canadian Pacific Railway an- nounces an innovafion in its dining car service to be called 'dietetic blended menus." The claim made _|that most passengers eat entirely too much while making transcontin- ental journeys, cannot be gainsaid. Three-fourths of the complaints of passengers, it is claimed, are due to indigestion. The Canadian Pacific proposes so to concoct its food as to satisfy the oppetite apon as small an outlay as possible." Barring the reduction in table 'expense, which in itself is an item, the adopting of such a dietet:e: program will un. doubtedly p.oW2 a distinct benefit to prisoners ot passage.

The Referce, Clifford Jackson, fe thoroughly posted on the rulgs of the game, his decisions were regdily and gracefully acquiesced in, and ave the utmost satisfaction. |The mpites were Miss Sutcliffe, Lind- say and Miss L. Munro, Port Perry. As an annex to the program and it elicited great interest, was a matched race. Dr. Berry, with a gentigman weighing over 160 pounds, on his back, undertook to run so yards quicker than Mr. James Ward, po= of the fastest runners in the County, couldrun 1ooysrd. The Dr. me | hat this Council agree to stagdiby out victorious, beating his opponent any action they determine to taki ) ten yards. We question if there i another man in the County that can accomplish such a feat.
