Most Diseases Are Bro Brought About By People's Ignorance of the Laws of Health. At the Y. M. C. A. building this week, a special cpurse of lectures on Yat by being given by Mrs. Florence » Toronto to ladies, and A a 2 afterioon from three un- | til four o'clock a most interesging ad- dress was listened to by a good- sized audience. The chief point de- | veloped by'Mrs. Wade in this lecture was the proper quality of food neces- sary for individuals according .o their position in life. For instance, sald Mrs. Wade, a person who is in the open air mostly requires a different diet than oie who js much irdoors. This is more especially the care between the ages of sixteen and! eighteen years. From this neglect! and man's ignorance of the laws of nature, his diseases are brought about. To keep health we must all understand scientific feeding. Moet of the diseases are brought about by! foul blood through lack of "proper food. Mrs. Wade here gave an _il- lustration of the alimentary 'canal, ! the greatest passage of the human body. The Suez and Panama Can- als were great achievements, and any congestion that might block them! would cause immediate trouble; lke- wise the human canal is equally as 'vital a factor, and persons are often careless enough to allow improperly digested food te lodge within it. The after result of this means danger,| said Mrs. Wade, and this js where dis- | eases spring from. Mrs. ade declared thai every, person, should drink a gallon of wat- er a day to exclude the poison from the human system. A method was advanced by her how this could be Drugs are useful in| their place, said Mrs. Wade, but God | has given ug all we want if we look! after our bodies properly. Do not deny children all the water | they want. They know what is| good for them and it is only children and fools whe tell the truth, said] Mrs. Wade. There are certain foods that should! not be eaten together emphasized. the speaker. There are beans and meat, maeareni and meat, ete, Pars-| ley is one of the best foods that a| person could let enter his or her sys-| tem. 4 A bad habit is perpetrated by many after eating, a meal. This is| & taking as desert'a handful of raisins | and nuts. These are a meal in them- | selves, and hencd a torpid feeling] comes over the ohe who thus eats, them.

TARIO LEGISLATURE. The War Expenditures Were Not | Very Heavy--Provincial - Auditor | Disowns an Item of $500,000 -- How the Accounts Stand. Toronto, Feb. 23.--A net deficit for 1914 of over $4,000,000 is the out- i | standing' fact : revealed by 'the presen: ! tationn of ° the public- accounts ot the | province tabled in the legislat on Monday. The government d . not admit that the deficit reachés such proportions, but an examination of! the actual accounts shows this to be | the case. Even on the government' 54 own statement the deficit is' $698,000, apart. from expenditures on Govern- | i ment House and otper buildings. . It] | might: be claimed that war espendi-| tures account for this, but, as & mat- | { ter of fact, the expenditures on war, except for a few minor items, amount | only to $204 508~made up as Jol-| lows : $15,000 to the Belgian Relief] fand and 279,806 as the gift of Hour | to Great wirifain, leaving dn admitted deficit apart from war expenditure of | | $403,000. The amount of the deficit is not moe disquieting than the actual ag- gregate of the expenditures which this | year, deducting capital #5penditures on Hydro-Electric and T.] , amount | to $15,378,837, whereas in 1904 the | total expenditures were 35,267,453, or a dfierence as follows : i. R03. i 815,378 837 5,267,453 $10,111,384 | It May be asked why there 1s] between the] government's estimate of a deficit ol | $698,000 and the real deficit of ov- er $4,000,000. Oae or two Instan-| Difference {ees may help to clear up this peint. In the first place in the table of cur- | rent receipts for the year is includ-| | ed the sum of $544,491, proceeds of | | dominion snbsidy for the T.N.O. rail-| way. This is counted out on the | expenditure side but it appears there | capital ex-| | penditures. There is thus the sur- | prising_fact that an item of half a million Js credited on the receipt side to current accounts but on ex-| which | thus makes the ordinary receipts] obviously half a million more than) they should be ahd makes the gov-| ergment"s admitted deficit on cur | Frefit- account of $698,000 too small] by this one item alone of over hal. a million dollars. { , An even more essential point in | fegard to this half-million item is | that it should not appear in the aec-| counts at all, and the provincial] anditor openly disowns it. Wita | the item is an asterisk with a sign-| | ed note from the auditor saying 'No receipts or payments in connection | with these items." As a matter of {fact this amount was received The] year previous and was credited un-| der the head of capital receipts. it looks like a clear case of juggling with figures to deceive the public 32 | to the real condition of the finances | of the province. and it is safe to | predict that the opposition wid] make vehement protests against | i a system of bookkeeping. The admitted deficit is also Made | to appear smaller than it should be by the inclusion, under the heading of capital expenditures, of a large { number of accounts for buildings | {and other items which, under the system of bookkeeping in force in| 1904 were made to pay for themsel-| ves out of the current revenue, { The net results, therefore, are | that the deficit of the province of | Ontario for the year 1914 stands at] | over $4,000,000, and that. even tha | government admits, for the first] time, that there is a deficit at all. | Must Obey By-Laws.
