The Malthusiau doctrine that the pop- ulation of the world Is increasing nioie rapidly than human capacity to feed and clothe the race is discredited by actual facts," writes th« llight lion. Philip Snowden In tho 'â- Windsor Magazine." ' Tiie world could never be over- populated unless the resources of na- ture when fully exploited by sclentlllc knowledge and human labour wore Inadequate to provide all tho people with a reasonable standard of life. 'Since the beginning of the Indus- trial revolution the power to i)roduce wealth has advanced more rapidly than the Increase of tlio world popu- lation. That Is likely to continue, a. id BO long as it does) there can bo no problem of world overpopulation In the aggregate. "Hut there Is a problem of seoprahl- cal congestion of population. In a relative neiiRe, soma countries are ovor-populated and otliers nro â-  parsely populated.

"There Is no more important ques- tion demanding International co-op- iratlon and organisation tlian that of ipreadliig llin population more evenly over the fare of the earlli. . . ."

Handling Gladlolut It will now be safa to put in the first of the gladiolus. This popular flower will come Into bloom In from fifty to ninety days, depending an variety and, hence If a loijj; season of flowering is desired, plai^ng of tho quicker bloomln gsorts should be spread over a montli. The gladiolus will grow In nlinost any soil, but does best In a rich open loam, proper- ly drained. Plenty of moisture and sunshine is necessary though It Is best to pfaiit in a position where the bed will be shaded a little by light tree growth during the middle of tl:e day. The sight of the gladiolus bed should bo changed from season to season to avoid Injury from fungus diseases.

Porridge Problem* | All very well, but recently a num- 1 her of people have been looking for a substitute for bacon, owing to its high price. Sausages make quite a good one â€" and another Interesting variation Is fried bananas instead of eggs. Hut bananas want bacon as a table companion. The biggest breakfasts of all are eaten by Americans, in whose morn- ing meal ham and eggs is only one apart In a row like onions. They' will attain full size in a year or two.

Dahlia Culture The best time to plant dahlias In most of Kastern Canada Is from the last week In May until the middle of Juno. Tho most suitable soil is sandy, well drained, deeply tilled and generously fertilized loam. If the soil Is heavy clay, loo.sen up by dig- ging in well rotted luimrms, or even a little coal ashes.

WINTER COVERING NEEDED. By planting pieces of the rootstock i even in ordinary g'arden soil one can have a worth-while white flov.-er in tha shady spot. It is desirable to cover them with leaves over winter and leave a few of these to mix with the soil in the spring. Hepatica, the blue, pink or white spring wild flower familiar to most of us. has also leaves which last over winter. Ifepaticas will even grow in a 3 they prefer shade them for planting hady for ordinary garden flowers. It is possible to help them along by giving them a good rich loam to grow in. By dividing the roots new plants are obtained. WILD GINGER SPREADS FAST Anelegait mass of richo foliage for tho shade is the wild ginger. Its leaves aro heart-shaped and its flowers are rich brown purple cups, hidden under the leaves. The wild ginger spreads rapidly by ginger-scented, creeping rootstocks, a few poeces of which, planted in ordonary soil, will soon cov- er broad spaces. Indeed, it is spe- cifically reconiended by horticulturists for carpeting under trees. The trillium. or wake robins, othei wild friends of childhood days, ara showy flowers in white, pink or deep re<L They come from a moist rich woods soil, so it is best to make soma leaf soil for them, and as the narrow bulb-like roots are naturally deeply sunk they shauld be so planted. They can ba so planted in midsummer or later. Other flowers are adder's tongue, cranesbill, bellwort, sweet pepperbush ! and viburnum. .5 Naval Agreement Truth (London): You cannot get It into Nie Krench mind that security does not depend on armaments. But whatever the French and tha Italians may go, we ought to seize this oppor- tunity of sealing a lasting pact of friendship with the Vnited States. Good will will not be enough. Before deadlock of the armed peace, to which Ambassador (iibson referred, can be broken, before the unhappy taxpayer can hope for relief, the air will ba filled with tha clamour of Jingoes oa both sides of the water. These gentle- mc'i havo got to be faced and told plainly that now that tha German navy Is at the bottom of the sea, and no othor navy is threatening our In- terests, there is no earthly reason why a common-sense agreement for rela- tive reductions la naval strength should not ba made between Great Britain and the United States. •> Canada's Foreign Trade lAjndou Free Press (Cons.): It th« United States does not want to tradt with Canad.i except on unequal terms, then let us look to the rest of th« world, and particularly the rest of tU« Empire. .5 . â€" , More than 6,000 text-books printeil In several languages In Brailta typ« are now available for sightless stud MUTT AND JEFFâ€" â€"By Bud Fisher.
