The total value of sets exported in 1923 Is expected to reach $2,000,000. PRESS COMMENT No doubt Premier King has | mbre things up his. sleeve, and | which will be produceq in due time. | Meanwhile, things are going along prospects Opposition in the House of Com- | mons, GRAING OF EGGS. | Inspectors, it is satd, are going their rounds throughout the pro- | vince instructing dealers and others | as to the grading of eggs in compli-| ance with a new law enacted for that purpose. It seems likely from what one hears that the law will neither benefit the producer nor the consum- er. Many of the dealers flatly re-| fuse to take ANY instructions in the | matter, as the slight profits in hand- | ling eggs will not warrant spending more time than at present is devoted | to candling and sorting. The gro- | cers will probably give up dealing in eggs, unless a simpler method is | adopted, ~~ The consumers, generally, do not care. anything about "grading." THe average citizen wants good fresh eggs, and he generally gets them. | The solution of the difficulty would | seem to be, care in seeing that eggs | are fresh when marketed and that they be sold by weight instead of by the dozen; LIQUOR IN THE PULPIT. The law is said to be. no respector of persons. It has not yet been suc- cessfully demonstrated that even ministers of the gospel are above law and therefore entitled to violato the terms of the Ontario Temper- ance Aot with impunity. The OT A. distinctly says that no gpe is entitled to have liquor in his possession ex- cept in his dwelling house. On Sun- day last a minister of the gospel, in the .city of Toronto, evidently ad- dicted to sensational methods of im- pressing his hearers, took samples of alcohol and brandy and an egg into the pulpit to prove by ocular demonstration what the spirits would do to the egg. Too bad he did not have a Working model of the human stomach to show the chemical ac- tions of the acids, gases and juices on the egg-nog. There will be many who will wonder why the reverend gentleman should not be fAned the usual $200 and costs and in addi- tion have his pulpit confiscated. CARELESSNESS INCREASING, In 1923 the rate of automobile fatalities was 13 per cent. greater than that of 1922, The rate of such deaths in January, 1924, is shown by statistics published by ome of the larger life insurance companies to have exceeded that for January, 1923, by more than 17 per cent. This points to increase in careless- ness in operation of motor vehicles, | for the rise In fatality percentage is not to be_explained away as be- ing chargeable to increase in the number of automobiles in use. Care is a relative term. What is proper care in a little-used street would not be proper care in a crowd- ed thoroughfare. What was proper care on highways when fewer auto- mobiles were in use if not proper care to-day. The motorist who fails to increase his care to correspond with increasing need for it is to be listed as increasing in carelessness. There 1s still plenty of room on the highways for the operation of niotor vehicles without fatality if handled with proper care. The increasing percentage of such deaths warns all motorists, and pedestrians as well, of the need for greater care. THE; PBERILS 'OF MAH JONGG.

Usually the running of a political is left to dividuals whose chief task is to de- vise schemes that will bring %o thelr side the largest volume of votes. Politics as a whole is considered the a few insiders and a ratter of small concern to the aver- age "individual--a condition at the root of inefficiency, waste and cor- ruption in public office. So there ought to be more than mere partisan advantage in 'ie spread of informa- tion about political operations and issues. There ought to be a training course for every voter, irrespective of a particular campaign.--Kansas City Times. They Are Stale. There is no doubt that the British | people are bored by the elder states- men of the two old political parties. They have all been in the cast too They are all discredited by use and wont. They*all need to lie fallow. The Soc- | ialists are novelties. Their lingo and jargon are fresh. Their ideals and visions are full of ozone. They may break eggs, but everybody wants omelettes. Anything is better than stagnation and stereotypes. The old Tories and the old Whigs must get a new set of actors--tragediens or cc medians--before they can hope "for another long run. The troubte is that they both snub and patsonize the younger g~Leration. Youth won't stand it.--London Express. "MONEY AT WORK Brief but Important Lessons In Fiasuce, H1 Markets, Stocks, Boads and Investments THE MANUFACTURER JUDGES THE FUTURE MARKET. One main advantage of a stock or commodity exchange lies in its ability to forecast coming events. Many times companies are able to weather adverse factors in various ! trades because the market warmed them. Consider the position of the man ufacturers of cotton goods. Last year the cotton market soared and futures in cotton were high, too. goods that there would probably be a' shortage of cotton. quently he, in turn, able to decrease the rate of con- sumption of cotton goods and to some extent stem the demand for cotton. warn of this impending shortage it i8 possible that there would have able until the new crop came ia. 5 ] ' By fames 'W, Barton, M.D; ay Have eh Sern of kig- : 'country, like other games which far- nish occasion for gambling.

The eggs would be the liver cells, and the cardboard would | be the connective tissue that holds | them together, Coming into each cell and out of 4 it would be vessels, | Now if you were to make those | cardboard' subdivisions a bit thicker, there would be less room for the eggs. In other words you'd have to { put in smaller eggs. If you made it still thicker you'd ,need even smaller eggs and so forth. Similarly when you eat or drink | certain kinds of food it has the ef-| fect of inflaming the connective tis- | sue holding the liver cells together. 'This tissue at first swells and | squeezes the liver cells until they | become smaller, and then when the inflammation dies down, the tissue | actually contracts like a scar from | a wound or a burn, and the whole | liver is smaller than jt "was before. | It is also a good deal harder,$be- causes this connective tissue is hard and fibrous like scar tissue.

Ice Pillars and Ground Heaving. During an open winter, or in the fall and spring, one will often notice ice pillars: up out of. the bare we. of ' pad ey géveral inches high and capped with particles of soll or small stones. Even larger Stones may be loosened or slightly raised from the surface by the freezing of the ground beneath, The heavifg of the surface soil by this process is responsible for much of the winter killing of wheat. When the water in the soil starts to freeze, it must expand. If the whole surface is freezing, it cannot well expand sid®ways, and downward expansion is obviously less easy than upward. Hence these pillars of frost are forced up out of the ground, sometimes carrying bits of the sur- face with them. In the same way, in very eolq weather, milk in milk bottles freezes and expands and you find the cap removed from the neck of the bottle and perched on the top of a column of frozen cream. Just as the cream column rises as a cyl- bottle, so the frost columh retains the shape of tH& small aperture through which it emerges.
