Ontai-jo's Fish and Game The province cannot be too particu- lar about th( enforcement of its game and fishing laws. Both fish and game are of enormou:) importance, and every effort (iue,lu to be made to con- Bervo them. Nothing in he nature of sliughtcr should be allowed, such as baa been the case with partriiige In recent years. Ontario, with its large are.id of natiouil parks, should be a paritdise for game and fish, and the gororament will find that public op- iuk>n will aupptirt it in every effort It makes towards their conservation. â€" Brantford Expositor.

The 3ilent Tpaat A few days ago a well-known pub- lic man in On'ai-io, chief guest at a luncheon of directors of an agricul- tural organization, responi'ed to the toast to the King.

There is only one man in the Do- minion who "an reply to the toast '^ the King, and that is the Governor- General., who is the King's '.ersonal representative. But the fact is. the toast to the King it nev?i- -eplied i) anvwhere. Strictly speaking, only His Majesty cr.n do so.

Its jpell upon men is the deep sleep of material thinking and this spell mrst ind Can be broken. It is this belief in the dust theory of man's origin which denies the brotherhood of man. It is the reality of mar's spir- itual origin which demonstrates the lirotherhoiid of maii here and now. Tho responsibility for I^urope's crisis rests upon no one statesman and no one people.

When he goes to extract one tooth, two or any num- ber of them he knows his patient will not cry out and alarm tliose who are in the waiting room. TTie Individual who is losing the tooth or the teeth can with a degree of indifference watch the man at work; can notice tliat he tries one sot of instruments and then another. Can see too when he lifts the offending tooth from tho jaw. The reason for al! this is tl-.e freezing or numbing of the nerves and tissue and all el.-^c in the vicinity of the tooth. The dentist uses novocain. But just what is novocain? We asked the dentist because the name seemed unsatisfactory When one says "onion'' it means something be- cause the object referred to is known; it looks like an onion and tastes like an onion, but novocain is dift'eront. By the way of reply tlie denti.st produced a technical diction- ary, from which the following word was taken to tell just what novocain is Here it is: Paraniidobenzoyldethylaminoethe- nolhydrochlorid.

At Its Peak The Citizens' Research Institute of Canada has been making a study of income tax and conies to tho conclu- sion that revenues from this source would not be iucrea.sed by higher rates in the upper brackets. They think the rich are being soaked about to their capacity for bearing punishment, that if govcramcni try to take any more money from them, governments wi'.l d''fea: their own purpose.

Dorothy was delighted and, standing on her toes, she picket the biggest r.nd ripest box she could find. Inside she found, nicely wrapped in white paper, a ham sandwich, a piece of sponge cake, a pickle, a slice of cheese and an apple. Kach thing had a separate stem, an<l had to be picked off tho sides of the box, but Dorothy found them all delicious and she ate every bit of lunch before she had finished.
