Means Much to Canada Utilization of Canadian iron ore in IXx". Caradian Iron and steel industry w;"3 one of the interesting topics at tliij raeelin:: addressed by Hon. Earl Rowe. Ontario Conservative leader, and Mr. Rowe promised to interest himself in endeavoring to secure an increase in t.he bounty in order to de- velop iron mining in Canada. This Is a subject in which Algoma Is very much interested, for in this district there are billions of tons of iron ore waiting to be mined. The Helen Mine with its 100.000.000 tons of ore proved up is only one of many deposits fn this district and in other parts of Northern Ontario. Should this industry be set in mo- tion It .vould mean work for thou- Band.4 of Canadians, a new market for the produce of the farmer and the output of our manufa.cturing plants, new business for Canadian railwayj. It would mean the reten- tion in this country of large sums of money now sent elsewhere.

Services were maintained at the same standard while revenues were falling and, too' often reserves built up during pres- perous years had to be seriously de- pleted to meet expenditures. Prob- ably in no other business a-ore wages interfered with as little. In many instances, too' it has been invest- ments outside the newspaper busi- ness which have helped to keep newspapers going. There is today among newspaper- men- however, as there is among other business men- a feeling of op- timism. Canada is once again on the upgrade, and during the ne.xt twelve months there undoubtedly will be a decided improvement in business. This will be reflected in many direct- ions, and the hope will be that it will result in a decided increase in em- ployment. â€" Kingston Whig Stand- ard. A Course in Marriage Should a modem university give a course on marriage? This ques- tion was raised in Syracuse some time ago; and when 613 students signed a petition asking for it the university decided to provide the course, and last year it met with reasonable success. Five different departments of the university were concerned in it: psychology, biology, sociology' home economics and re- ligion, ar.d they all contr-buted their quotas. But the question is can this sub- ject be taught in such a way as to be of real benefit? The professor may be a successful married man him- self, but can he tell others just v/hat has made his marriage a success? In some cases, the true answer would be that the wife was the chief author of such success as had been attained. She had learned how to make the best of what was perhaps' most unpromising materia! â€" and the husband may never have discovered tl-.e fact. â€" Now Outlook.

Eat Correctly For Health and Beauty Modern Science Shows That Many of Our "Combina- tions" \rc Erroneous . . the ash can be determined. Some foods after being digested and util- ized by the body have an acid re- action in the blood and others ar« alkaline. But you can't tell by the taste. Thus although lemons aro sour because of the organic acids they contain, their effect is alkaline. Apples, musknielons, oranges and potatoes have been found experi- mentally to be very efficient in re- ducing body acidity. The practice of eating acid foods in the same meal with milk or of sing milk or cream on fruits has been condemned. However, the acid is actually a help rather than a hindrance to milk in digestion. It is a common practice to beat orange or lemon juice or tomato juice into milk or to sour irfk artificially for persons with weak digestion. Pancakes, waffles, raiitfin.-; anl liot breads of all varieties are not in themselves unwholesome focd, but they have a bad reputation with many people. In the first place ihey usually are eaten without prope: mastication on account of tlieir soft- ness. Then tliey often are served with much butter and syrup and the tendency is to eat largely to '.he ex elusion of more essentia' roods Finally, they are so inviving that they cause most of us to overeat Eaten in no larger amouai.-i tlian r'air cold bread, with n« greater amounts of fat and iw«tt, and chewed thoroughly, tiny «! ould be a: easy to .digest as '.'old ^read.
