Thcy speak aif 'good rick blood" as if this were the trade mark ai robuat hcalth. The blood is an important part ai the body. There arc variaus dtiseases and certain disorders ai the blaod, but the mosi remark- able thing about the blood is how little it changea in certain respects despite a variety ai changing con- ditions. There are salts and minerals in the blood ai which sodium chlar- ide or table sait is the largest con- stituent. Under ordinary condi- tions the concentration ai these salis in the bload ta kept at the same level. Thcy are losi i rom the body in the urine and swcat. but a rcserv.e ta stored in the skin whencc il is callcd forth as re- quircd. The concentration in the blood is contralicd by the kidneys. The blaod is slîghtly alkaline. Those who spcak ai their blaad's bcing too acid arc cvidently ig- raorant ai the iact that if their blood wcmc ta became even barely iacid. lhcy would die. and if it wcrc ta swing a fraction more ta the alkaline side. convulsions would occur. The_«e uhings arc mentioned ta remind aur readers that the human body, as cvidcnced by the h1-1 . iitý % rmirk, ani.uqbilit ta keep on running smaathly be- cause afita capaciiy ta adjust ta changing conditions. But jusi because ai this. there is no excuse ta abuse the body by calling upan ilta omcci unusual ý and severe sirains. ihraugh came-i lessness or ignorance. There is a, point bcyond which lies danger. Repeated strains may cause a pre- mature wearing-out; it is beiter WHILE THE WORLD WAS SICK CANADA'S EXPORTS TO THE EMPIRE JUMPED 1001% AND THOSE TO ALL MARKETS, INCLUDINO FOREIGN, 39% When the King Government was voted ou' by the people in 1930, Canada stood on thý brink of ruin. Our national debt had soared tc sickening proportions . Ruinous tariff barriers had been raised against our exports while the King policy of "Laissez Faire" allowed other countries to, dump surplus goods on the Can- adian home markets. Our adverse trade balance was alarming. Canada was in worse condition than she has ever been before or since and the world-wide depression was just beginning. NO CANADIAN GOVERNMENT EVER FACED THE COLOSSAL TASK WHICHCONFRONTED THE BENNETT GOVERNMENT. NO OTHER LEADER COULD HAVE TRIUMPHED! Earnest, wise, resolute-.placing the weal of Canada above the petty exigencies of party politics-the Bennett Governmè«nt forged a new, a safer, saner Canada on the anvil of depression. CONTROLLABLE EXPENDITURE PARED TO THE BONE Expenses had ta be cut and they were cut - ruthlessly - yet with- out impairing Government ser- vices. Former extravagances were jettisoned. Between 1930 and 1935 controllable expenditure has been reduced 29%. Capital ex- penditure (railways, canais ani public works) has been reduced 77%. Maturing debt was re- funded at lower interest rates -- saving more than $16,500,000 annually. Today's national bud- get is actually balanced on ordinary account with a substantial surplus.

As a resu It, between 1933 and 1935 Canadian exports ta Empire coun tries (other than G r e a t Britain) increased by over 100%. Exports to Great Britain increased by 100%, ta Australia by 159%, to South Africa by 200%, ta New Zealand by 100%, ta India by 71 ?5 and ta the Irish Free State by 82%. And during the same period, Canada's exports ta non-Empire countries gained by. more than 26%. When the King Government were voted out of office, Canada had an ADVERSE TRADE BALANCE 0F $1 J3,000,000. Five years of Bennett Govemment has resulted in a FAVOURABLE TRADE BALANCE 0F $ 152,000,000. "Why do some women wear hair nets?"
