' Delivered by carrier: ¥0c a week, By mall (out MONDAY, MARCH 11, 1929 TIER A WONDERFUL RECORD One of the most amazing phases of Canadian lite in the last two or three years has been the increase in the amount of life insurance being bought by the people of Canada, The figures of the various companies are such as to give cause for wonder, and yet they show the natural and logical development of well-planned campaigns of 'educational advertising, The policies issued by Canadian companies in 19028 represented a paid-up business of $1,082, 580, an increase of twenty per cent, over the pre- vious year. Including the insurance issued by fraternal societies, the total net business in force at the end of 1928 was over six billion dollars, This wonderful development is largely due to the advertising policies of the insurance com- panies, They have a definite service to sell, and they are selling it by the most effective method known to modern business, by the use of news- paper advertising, That this advertising is bring- ing results is shown beyond the shadow of a doubt by the splendid record of 1928, and there is every reason to believe that 1929 will show an equally good response, TREASURING CHILD LIFE It is an interesting feature of present day life in this country that more and more attention is being paid by child welfare organizations in cities and towns to the conservation of infant life, That a movement of this kind is needed, and is doing good work, is proven by vital statistics, For instance, in the city of Montreal alone, five thousand infant children die every year, Britain long ago took special action to solve this pressing problem of infant mortality, and British vital statistics show that today that in many cities and towns deaths among children un- der five years of age have been reduced by thirty per cent, The steps taken to achieve this result were the engaging of a number of nurses to visit the homes of the poor in order to instruct young mothers regarding the necessity of keeping their little ones perfectly clean, the removal of very weak infants with their mothers to homes in the country, and free medical attention, These steps have been more than justified by the results, and might be worth trying by some of the communities in this country where they are not yet in effect, The public health nurses of Ontario are doing a splendid work in this same direction, but there is not, as yet, as full a recognition of the value of their services in the saving of child life as there should be. HELPING MIGRANTS One of the most forward steps yet taken by the British government in helping British people to mi- grate to other parts of the Empire is the extension of the unemployment: insurance payments, mistakenly zalled the "dole" to those who go to other parts of the Empire to live. The provision is that those who src in good standing will be eligible for payments for wo years after going to some part of the overseas dominions, It has been true that immigration from Britain has been retarded by the unemployment insurance scheme in Britain, The man out of work in the old land, and receiving these payments, was not anxious to give them up and go to another country where he alight find it difficult to secure employment. He had, at least, a bare subsistence in the old country, and be was loath to part with this for the uncertainty of work thousands of miles away. The new regulation, however, gives him an oppor- tunity of trying his Juck in some other coumtry in the Empire, and, at the same time, of receiving the insurance payments to which he would be entitled if in the old land while seeking employment. It may be that the whole system can be criticized, but it should be remembered that the workers of Britain themselves create this fund by their contributions to it while employed, and that it is, in no way, an act of charity to pay them sufficient to give them an existence while unemployed. And by extending it to those who migrate to the dominions, those who are genuinely anxious to make headway in the world will be given encouragement to try. their fortunes in new lands under the British flag. HOW CAN IT BE DONE? Plasterers in Toronto arc demanding a wage of $1.50 an hour. Up to the present they have been receiving $1.25, and they have a feeling that this is not cnougi. There is the other side of the picture, however, to be considered. The work of the plasterers is de- pendent upon the amount of building to be done, i and in many cases, the costs of building are impor- tant comsiderations for the average person who is - thinking 'of erecting a home or other structure. So long as the costs keep increasing, as they would un~ doubtedly do should the increase be granted, it will .become more and more difficult for the average man to undertake home-building, especially when he him. self is in receipt of a less salary than the plasterer whom he has to pay $1.50 an hour. . One might well ask how the plasterers expect a man who is earning $25 to $35 a week, and who is anxious to build a home for himself, to pay $1.50 an hour for having an important part of the work done, GERMANY"S CHANGE OF HEART There is a special significance in the announce-' ment made by the German delegate to the League of Nations Council to the effect that his country wished to subscribe to a ban on the use of poison gas in warfare, Canadians particularly will remember the first 'occasion on which poison gas was first used in war, and will remember that the Germans them- selves were the first to take advantage of this diabolical method of taking human life, Had it not been sent over the trenches in front of Ypres on that April morning nearly fourteen years ago, it is hardly likely that it would ever have come into use by the other combatants in the war, But for all time Germany will be branded as the first country to adopt the most inhuman methods of waging war, That there has been a change in the heart of Germany is apparent by the new determination to subscribe to the agreement abolishing the use of poison gas, German chemists are acknowledged to be the world's leaders in this branch of science, and to have them repudiate the use of gas, is a striking proof of the desire of the new leaders in Germany to live in harmony with the rest of the world, EDITORIAL NOTES Trotsky has been refused a refuge in Czecho- Slovakia, as well as in Germany, Truly, he is now more than ever a man without a country, The Seven Sisters power deal is causing a great deal more fuss than even the Seven Sutherland Sisters used to cause with their big crops of hair, Bald-headed barbers are not wanted in Chicago shops, But they would not be any worse than bald-headed drug store proprietors who sell hair tonics, | The United States has increased its quota for British immigrants, Another recognition of the fact that the United States knows where to pick its best quality citizens, The fact that there was no reduction in the income tax this year is a safe indication that there will be another Robb budget hefore there is an appeal to the electors, Appeals are heing made to the government to take action to stop chicken thefts, The best preventative we can think of is an unfriendly dog, with a good set of teeth, The time may come when a scarcity of pulp- wood will make necessary the re-manufacture of old newspapers, Some of them can already stand a good deal of re-manufacturing. ~ Other Editors' Comment ~ THE ST. LAWRENCE WATERWAY i (London Advertiser) Mr, Ferguson and other politicians who talk of an all-Canadian channel in the stretch of the St. Law- rence between Ontario and New York State assume that the Canadian people are ignorant of the fact that the United States Built and even today maintain deep channels on the Canadian side of the line, PETTING IN PUBLIC : (Guelph Mercury) Antiquarians have discovered from the records of the ages that petting is not new, but is as old as the human race. Thus another ideal is smashed. The only difference that whereas it was privately prac- tised, it is now done openly for the whole world to see, and therein lies its vulgarity, CANADIAN STATUS (Quebec Soleil) The possession of a national flag is not merely in. order, it is a necessity, Other dominions, like South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, understood this before we did, But their loyalty has remained un- impaired. And since our national status, from cer- tain points of view, is more developed in practice than that of the two countries mentioned, we should be logical and choose our own emblem, ECONOMY--FOR THE OTHER MAN : (Ottawa Journal) We all want retrenchment--for somewhere else, For every Chamber of Commerce that passes a reso- lution about economy, for every bank manager that pontificates about it, for cvery newspaper that writes in the abstract about it, for every politician that talks with his tongue in his cheek about it, probably more than one hundred deputations and resolutions come to Ottawa clamoring for expenditures, Those with the deputations and resolutions have the votes. They are the real voice of the people. - +» Bits of Verse - - TWELVE GOOD MEN AND TRUE Lord, God in Heaven, attend; We are here to judge a man.

Barton, M.D. WHY THE SPRING TONIC SEEMS NECESSARY As the Spring arrives you begin to sce advertised in the drug store windows all kinds of Spring tonics, There is no question but that at this particular time a great many individuals have that "don't care" feeling, very much like the after affects of the flu, tonsillitis, or any other depressing ailment, Perhaps you feel that way your- self as the early spring weather arrives, One of the reasons is that you have been living indoors without much exercising during the cold weather, and have likely accumulated the usual five pounds or more of weight that the normal man or wo- man takes on between Fall and Spring, Now the fact that you put on this weight is not a bad sign at all, in fact it shows that your tissues re- spond well, However, in addition to accumu- lating the weight, you have been living the inactive indoor life, and when Spring comes you feel "log- gy," not because of this extra weight but for two other reasons also. First, this extra weight acts as a sort of insulator to the body and you retain more heat, This may be valuable in cold weather but is cer- tainly most uncomfortable when the warm Spring days are at hand, You have little desire to work or cxcr- cise and when you do you feel very "stuffy." Second, whether or not you put on much extra weight, if you've lived the indoor life, you have put too much work on one particular organ and the feeling of depression in the Spring in th majority of cases is duc to this overwork. The more food you eat the more work the body should do to use up that food. The tissue that was put on that body of yours to do work is muscle tissue, Your whole body is covered with it, large masses of it. However, you eat the food and don't use the muscle, or at least use it very little. What happens? The organs of the body have not only to take care of that food but get rid of its wastes, The liver, big as it is, and it is the biggest organ in the body, gets so much food material to work on that it can't do a complete job, and some of the poisons that should be washed out of the blood, are left in, and this partly poisoned blood goes all over the body. Do you wonder that you feel "heavy as a log" in the Spring. "TODAY'S LIST OF _ AUTO.
