Premier Ferguson has made an early start on his next election propaganda. He hopes, by trying to ignore the farmer members of the house, to stifle them and, fo kill whatever organization they may have. _ He hopes, by his refusal to recognize the Progres- sives, as they now call themselves, in the legislature, to wipe them out of existence and keep them quiet. Undoubtedly his alm is to drown them out to such an extent that they to surmount the Stormy waters of another election. Whether or not he succeeds in 213! squelching the Progressive members who sit in the assembly, he will not 80 easily override the people who sent them there. Thd electors are not such fools as to be deceived by bis high handed methods. If there is an act.on the statutes of the legis- lative assembly which entitles the Progressives to official recognition, then he fs in duty bound to recog- nize that statute, because no man is bigg: an the statutes of the prov- ince. Therefore, when he tries to ignore the Progressive representa- tives, it is plain that he is doing so for political purposes, and not for any benefit which the province might derive from his action.

Of what benefit is it to the province to know that some minls- ters who held office ten years ago, some of them now dead, lived in apartments in the parliament hufld- ings when they held office? Is that information going to help the prov- Ince to secure any better legislation or administration in the future? Is it going to be of any benefit to the people who pay the bills for these things? These are considerations | one section of the great organiza- | tion which has beem brought into | being by 'the League of Nations, and {it is not at all tinfes the most fm- | portant. This week, the permanent health organization of the League of Nations, established in accordance with the terms of the league cove- nant, held its first meeting at Gen. eva, Switzerland. This is no small organization. It has a .wide scope. Its efforts are directed towards con- centrating the best efforts of 'all the participating nations upoh the task of combatting d!sease and conditions which are a menace to the health of people in every part of the world. | One of its chief aims is to co-ordin- | ate the health administration of all | countries through the league in or- | der to enable all countries to make a { more effective fight against disease. A glance at the agenda for the meeting shows the wide scope of the activities of the health organiza- tion. One of the subjects ir the con- sideration of reports on sanitary conditions at seaports all over the world. This in itself means much. At many seaports diseases are picked up by sailors or travellers, and car- ried to other countries by. the steam- ers which sall between different countries. Plagues and epidemics have been known to spread all aver the world by this geans and the for- mulation of any plan, to make sani- tary conditions in sedports such as to eliminate this source of disease- carrying will be a tremendous step in advance. The big centre of discus- sion will be consideration of the pro- gress of the fight against cancer, malaria and the opium evil, and of methods for fighting them. Here is & subject which is of vital import- ance to all countries in the world. These diseases take incalculable toll of human life all over the globe. They are the greatest scourges of mankind, and the fact that represen- tative sclentists and experts from all countries are assembled to dis- cuss means of fighting, them gives cause for hope that some tangible results will be forthcoming, Like the Labor Bureau of the Lea- gue of Nations, the permanent health organization at Geneva can be of tremendous benefit to human- ity, and its importance places it on a level with the parent body which dis- cusses the affairs of state and di- plomacy which affect the nations re- hoped. that the other parties" will be guided by wise counsel and will give Labour every opportunity to put its demning it. stg ------ AT WORK Brief but Important Fisasce, Markets, Stocks, LAVISH ENTERTAINMENT evs GOTO be ASHow" Bonds ALWAYS GOOD BUSIN In enough soolal contact to produce a growing acquaintance is an asset; more than that is a liability.

Dr. Copeland's explanation for the of the house, should go a long way towards nullifying the fears of those who looked for drastic radicalism from the Labour administration. It is too early yet, of course, to sit in Judgment on the new government. It has not heen able to do anything in the way of launching ite pro- gramme of legislation. and ad- ministration, but, judging from the statements made by the British premier, the programme will be ono Calculated to bring about better conditions in Britain, always pro- viding that it works as well in practice as it sounds in theory. The new government has a big task before it, but it gives promise of tackling its problems in a big way. There are dangerous pitfalls in the handling of the Buropeon situa- tion, but it may be that the blunt, straight forward methods of the Labour cabinet will succeed whers the diplomacy of former govern- ments has fafled. The worst situa- tion, however, which has to be faced, is right at home, where unemploy- ment, industrial disputes, poor ljv- ing conditions and other evils have to be met. The announcement of Premier MacDonald contains one sentence which, if it can be put fa- to definite action, will go further towards settling the domesic troubles of Britgin than any other policy which has yet been tried. In his speech at the opening of . the hous, he said: '"I am convinced that a complete 'door air below its dewpoint, when Window frost forms when a win- dow pane is cold. enough to chill in- that In turd is below the freezing point, Low temperatures and high winds outside will be most favorable for maintaining a cold pane. A storm sash, on the other hand, will protect the window and reduce the amount of frost decoration inside. The more moist the indoor air and the higher its dewpoint, the more readily will frost form. If a room is very warm, the air is likely to be too dry and the dow pane not cool enough for 4 frost display. Jack Frost, thes, like other fairies, finds night the most suitable for his' work; then outdoor temperatures are lowest, there is no sunlight to melt the tracery, and the rooms are coolest. The frostwork will generally occur first on the lower part of a sash and on the edges. Air coming in contact with the top of the pane cools and settles, becoming suc. cessively cooler as it slides down tbe pane, until finally it is cold enough tor condensation to take place. The cold air also collects around the mar- gins of the pane where the frame prevents pe circulation. He realizés that rest is the essen- | tial factor uptll you get over your | excitement. CLAIMS "HEAL THE SICK" "CHRIST JESUS' COMMAND Christian Scientist Comments on Commititee's Findings on Divine Healing. The report of the committee ap- pointed after the great Lambeth Anglican Conference in England to investigate spiritual healing, is of unusual s'gnificance to all religious thinkers. The. other point of view is expressed in a letter received from Britton Foster, Christian Science Committee on Publication for Ontario, herewith printed in tall: Recent Canadian papers con- tained a despatch from Loudon giving the following finding on spiritual healing by a committee of medical doctors and clergymen: "that mo sick person must look to a clergyman to do what it is a physician's or surgeon's duty to do." This is a very definite con- clusion after explaining that the evidence on . behalf of spiritual healing and healing by faith 'had been found too vast, many sided and - difficult for any conclusions, except vague ones." Under such circumstances the quite definite finding loses somewhat of its value. when it is observed that the com- mittee could hardly 'be considered disinterested.
