The food of the people, there- fore, cannot be taxed when Britain after if rural depopulation continues. és before the people of the Homeland yesterday were tremen- dous issues, involving life and death and the welfare of the whole British Empire.

Fire has been the worst enemy of our great forests, but the constant cutting of cedar and Kindred varie- ties of young trees in the more sparsely wooded lands for the Christmastide has caused a great wastage. 'The trees that are sold upon the market and hawked about the streets for tweuty-five to fifty cents apiece. take from five to ten years to grow and they are not be- Ling replaced. Thirty years ago there were great numbers of cedar and palm trees on the islands and shores in the vicinity of Kingston. Today few remain, owing to wanton des- truction. « SMUGGLING RECIPROCITY. The Canadian and American cus- toms depamsments think they can carry out a reciprocal arrangement between themselves that will be ben- oficial to both countries. Canada loses much revenue through smuggling of tobacco, cigars and cig- arettes into this country from the United States and the latter suf- fers through the cuntinual smug- gling of good Canadian whiskey into Uncje Sam's domains. The rum- runners do business both ways, car- rying Hquor into the United States and bringing back tobacco to Can- ada. The gentlemen's agreement made between the customs officials of the two countries as the result of the Ottawa conference recently is that the United States customs officers will tip off the Canadian cus- toms officers that a car bearing such and such a license is headed north with a cargo of cigarettes. In re- turn the Canadian officers will give the United States officers the num- bers of cars headed south with 1i- quor. The Canadian customs will also notity the United States depart- ment when boats loaded with liguor leave Canadian ports. Some of the whiskey destined for "Cuba" and for which quite regular Cahadian clearance papers are given, is liable to be captured as this liquor Is usu- ally landed on the shores of New York state across the lake from Kingston and lleville. There is no doubt that under the agreement there will be less smuggling. PUBLIC OPINION. The public has always been charg- ed with making Its own bed. That public opinion decides what the pub- lic gets. That the public, not the public servant, determines the ser- vice given the public. That which Is in the movies, schools, stores, ma- gaxines, newspapers and churches is there because it is the public wish. Aan illustration is provided by the announcement of a motion picture actress, who made her debut and fame in juvenile parts, that she was forced at maturity to retire because the public would only accept her in Juvenile roles and these were no longer tasteful to her. The will of the public can not be denied by business if business is to thrive. And not only business, but are, literature, education and religion must bow to this arbitrary Will or Opinion. Whatever oo public taste may be--good or high or low--Iit must be -- ath with and acquiesced to.

This does not tell the whole story, however. added to the human side of the loss, and necessarily they must In- crease the total. ditional loss from shattered morale. ! Such a calamity could not be exper- i jenced and leave all survivors umat- less | than shell-shock to unsettlea fected Not potent | nerves would be the experience which many thousands underwent yet escaped with their lives, The property loss is another mat- ter, and that can be retrieved In time. With astonishing zeal the | people have set to work to rebuild their homes. To restore normal liv- ing conditions will be a matter of time. The means by which a vast | portion of the population have earn- ed 3 livelihood have been destroyed and'must be restored. Thus the un- goettlement has wide ramifications and presents an enormous problem | in rebuilding. In the meantime there must be readjustments in order that the rehabilitation may pro-| ceed. The lack of indications of discouragement and the energy with | which the Japanese have set about retrieving their financial loss com- mands the admiration ofsthe world. -- = That Body of Pours By James W, Barton, M.D, ---- The Heart's Little' Task. Did you ever think of the work done by that heart of yours.? It pumps quarts of blood throughout your system of such a mate that the entire trip is made about three times within one minute, And every bit of force that sends the blood right to your toes and back again is by that stroke of the heart. It gets no help anywhere. It en- counters the resistance of the vessels carrying the blood away and bring- ing it back. Although it is a pump there Is practically no suction of the blood upward through the veins. The heart has to push the blood hard enough to send it the complete journey round. And to do this it needs what? Just what it is made of entirely. That is muscle. The heart is nothing but muscle it has practically no other structures within it. It has the one kind of tissue needed for the job A tissue that has but the one function, that is the power to contract upom, or squeeze anything within it. If it be strong it can overcome even a leak in one of the valves. And so the old athletic trainer has at last come into his own. He has always maintained that a good strong muscular heart would carry a man through." Accordingly when thé athletes turned out for football, hockey, basket ball, or track ath- letics he always sent them round the campus or running track at a slow pace for a number of laps. He thus gradually built up 'the muscle fibres of the heart by asking them to gradually increase thelr work. There was no fast sprinting, no jumping right into the midst of a game, no attempting to do any ath- letic feat whatever, at the beginn- ing. ' # And the wind?

In the "Bis- ter Republic" across the seas, they are into everything, too; 'everything right in touch with both these branches when any danger draws near. This does not even interest Paris. No, Paris sees 2,000,000 women for whom the war has made marriage impossible. Paris does not care, It daed nothing It does not even re- move easily removable restrictions. It will not take down the bars; rather it will prop them up to keep them from falling "through decay. The men who might have become husbands are dead. "As they lie in their graves, their country mourns them as heroes. It is fine. It Is glorious, but it would be far finer and much more glorious if they were alive to look after the two million daughters of France who must live in loneliness and sOrrow. Glory is & wonderful thing, but humanity is still better. Humanity would not bother about old customs. Humanity would not fear the changes that time brings. But for women Paris has no humanity. Paris permits women to work harder than slaves worked in the .days of Greek and Roman power, and pays them seventy cents a day. Over eight million workers of the "weaker sex" are receiving less than that in Frhnece to-day. French wo- men have as good brains--at least as good--as French men, but Paris does not pay with any sense of equality when the 'weaker sex" Is serving. Perhaps over one hundredth of one per cent. of the women who work in France dynamited them; selves into professional work, but "the- most polished society in the world" laughs at these few individ- uals.
