RACE TRACK GAMBLING, It is remarkable that not until a couple of Toronto police inspectors, who are patterns of their kind, were called on by the parliamentary com- mittee which is considering the ques- tion, it heard very little evidence that was damaging as to the evil of race track: gambling.

GEO. CLIFF, 95 Clarence St. - THE GOVERNMENT . SHOULD ACT. The Ottawa Citizen comments upon the de la Ronde case in 8 manner which must challenge the aitention of the government. The mayor was ace cused of grafting, in that the pay! rolls which he controlled or signed! contained charges that were not au thorized, or charges for services tliat were not contracted. Certain test cases were submitted. The officer in hig defence offered the evidence that be had not signed the rolls or en- dorsed the check for the money, and he. was acquitted. A second case was that in which the son, the se cond in command of the corps, signed the papers on behalf of his father, and on his verbal authorization, and again the case was dismissed. There has been an appeal to the atforney- general, and not wathout reason.

Life aboard a submarine is not so unpleasant or dangerous as one might imagine, but it is entirely different from that led on other types of ships. The crew, usualiy isting two officers ; fourteen mm, is selected from unteers after a mest rigid medical examination. Service. rarey extends beyond a period of two years, and real work ou a submarine is limit. ed to about three weeks is the sum- mer dnd one in the winter. During the remainder of the time the men live wn a Prem ship or on shore. The boat is, however, put through the various evolutions once every week. The firet impression on entering submarine is one of heat, the air being rather close and heavy, but the men soon become accustomed to it. Stand- ing room space is abont six ard one half feet, and toward both ends the boat tapers away almost to a point. There are no portholes. The hatchway in the conning tower is the only aper- ture, Under water electric used. There are ventilators, but when the boat dives they are shut off with a cap. Life on board a submarine is essen- tially "in common." The way men and many objects are crammed to- gether in a narrow space is almost miraculous. Cooking is done in so electric oven, and no foods which have a strong or disa able smell are used. Of course smoking is allowed only when on the surface and then on the"bridge. Ow- ing to the character of, the ym select- ed discipline is perfect. There is SRaroely a noite in a sub- marine when submerged. greatest depth the boat descends does not ex- ceed thirty feet.

The worshippers of William Lyon Mackenzie and Papi neau have gome far on the lines Mr. Foster objected to, and have, even crea a school of thought which holds up as patriots these agitators, who provoked bloodshed and then ran away, while the loyal men, who ral- to preserve order and maintain British conncetion, are as despicable characters, 'whom no one should respect.

On arriv- DIET AND HEALTH. Use Foods That Will Give the Syst Oil. Washington Ster. Every person requires a certain amount of oil in his food in order to be healthy. Our ancestors lived to a large extent on olives, filherts, chest nits and other nuts containing oil. The present generation uses too little oil in Bs dies. This can be taken in the shape of the pure expressed olive oil, as an emulsified salad dressing or by eating nuts, olives, ete. It may be a matter of choice how the system gets its oil, but a certain amount is essential to the enjoyment of good health. The results of the habit ual use of above articles in the diet are soon shown, especially when | persons are inclined to colicky indi- gestion and tig Doctors will do I to imstruet their patients to use pure olive oil in moderate doses, also as dressing forisalads. Various kinds of nuts have a high dietetic val- ue because of the oils which they contain and can be used to advantage. When patients incline to consumption, pure cod fiver oil ranks at the head of oily substances, but the lesser oils alto can be taken in moderation. Nature furnishes many cures for the successful treatment of diseases if we will but study her methods instead of following fads. The result will be a greater progress in building up re- sistance and immunity from disease. ion Remedies Given (lean Bill So much has been said regarding effects of headache remedies, most of which contain antipyrine, acetanilide or phenacetin, that the resilt of an exhaustive investigation by Dr. Uriel S. Boone, physician and educator of St. Louis, are particularly interesting. To discover the truth, and te settle beyond contravention whether these drugs are or are not harmful and hab- it-forming, he submitted a series of questions to every hospital and sani tarium in the United States and re reived replied from 1,100. In hot one of these hospitals is there a record of a death due to these remedies since their discovery about twenty-five years ago; thirteen hospitals out of 1,100 re- ported record of injury from gross overdoses, and seventeen reported re- cords of irregular pulse, etc. caused by unjustifiable overdosing; but not a single case of death from such cause. It has been stated by persons pre- judiced against coal tar products that they are "habit-forming" drugs in the sense that individuals become addicted to their use until a craving for them becomes irresistible. = But Dr. Boone has discovered that there has never been treated in any of the 1,100 hos- pitals and sapitariums a case of SEESE0 SOTO FSP 0000074 IT PAYS TO TRADE AT BIBBY'S.
