It suppresses hopes, saps the energies and destroys the vitality of millions every day. The fear of future punishment has driven many to insanity and cloud- ed many lives. The old-fashioned preaching of hellfire to terrify sin- ners into pretension of religious be- lief bas damned many a soul on the spot. The practice is passing away but it torments many poor souls in Insane asylums yet, Religious Yeach- ing is becoming less a debasing threat and more the uplifting prom- ise of the mercy of God. It is a bet- ter religion, and we are a beter people because of it. The workingman with wife and children dependent. upon him lives in the ever-disturbing fear of the notice in his pay envelope that his services are no longer required. The man whose earnings barely keep his. family from week to week lives In lifelong dread that poisons his dls position and Prevents him. from holding up his head gs a free man. Labor: unionism is 4 make a man's occupation secure, but it 1s etill the most depressing (reas, of, millions. There is nothing else to be sd much feared as fear itself. It kills something good and help- ful in all of us. It is' questionable, even among the most truly orthodox, it anybody ever got to heaven merely by fear- ing hell.

Mr. Drury is not the only redre- sentative of the U.F.0. to turn upon the Hon. Peter Smith, 'whose amagz- ing methods of financing have | brought him into the limelight. Thus we find the official organ of the Unit- ed Farmers, the Farmer's Sun, call: ing upon the former treasurer for an explanation: "The question that mow calls for an answer is how it was that large sums were secured from the provine cial cash box, with an ease paral- leling that of Home Bank finanéing, while Hon. Peter Smith was suppos- ed to be on guard. That question calls for an immediate' answer. Fairness to Mr. Smith demands that he should be given full opportunity to show that his only fault was in- competence to fill the office to which 'he was called. Justice to the farmer movement which gave Mr, Smith his opportunity for passing political eminence requires an unequivocal declaration" for a thorough probe to the very bottom of an unsavory mess. That decfaration should find prompt expression by 'Mr, Doherty, leader of the farm group in the leg- islature." Mr. Doherty, however, does not seem to share the Sun's anxiety for a prompt declaration from Mr. Smith, suggesting that that gentle- man' should be called last. -Appar- ently the pubMe decounts committee is waiting for the ex-treasurer to volunteer a statement. The Peter- boro Examiner expresses its belief that public interest would be best served if Mr. Smith were to be sum- moned by the'committee without fur- ther delay to give his version of the bond deals and t6.be questioned as to- his general administration of the financial affairs of the province, Mr. Doherty's' plan may be good politics, but the majority of people care little or nothing about political advantage "just now, They have been astounded by the story of how easy it was to take money out of the provincial treasury, and they want to hear what the man in charge has to say about it. Mr. Smith should be given the floor now. PRESS COMMENT Elections in Europe.

That Pours By lames W, Barton, M.D, A Frequent Cause of Backache, Just what is causing it. Your phy sician has examined the urine, and finds that there is no trouble with the kidneys: There i$ no infection from down low enough to be in the joint joining the hip bone and the back bone together, There is still another cause fo: this constdnt backache that is over- looked by many people. As you stand sideways and look in. to your mirror, you notice that the pain is just in the centre of the bend at small of back. In other words perhaps ou hive too much of a hollpw back, have a "sway back" as it Is called. If, added to this, you have begun, to put on weight and have a pro- have then you of truding abdomen, likely found the cause trouble. As you put on weight, or ger careless about your carriage, you let the abdomen sag forward. What 'happens? It simply carries the spinal col- umn forward with it, and produces that sharp bend just exactly where your' pain is located. You see you were never stand that way. You were meant 'to stand erect with thé abdominal ' niusclés - 1n front, and the small of back mus- cles behind, just nicely balancing one another all the time. In fact if you could see these mus- es, you would be greatly impressed with their similarity. The front ones run from the hip bone in front to the breast bone and ribs, and the back ones rum up fron. the hip bones behind, and 'the bone between them to the ribs behing, Just a nice even balance you see. So when you allow your abdomen to sag you pull the poor back mus- cles fofward in a constant strain; hence your pain. In severe cases the spinal bones get pulled forward and the weight of the body ir] upon'the back part of them, from whence emerge the nerves. 'Another source of pain. Hold yourself erect with your own muscles if possible. 'Whilst developing the muscles, an abdominal belt may be wt rn. your eant to MONEY + AT WORK PAL ~ SHOWING WHY ; A STouC DIVIDEND HARDER he has precious little control bes| The tween an office where wages and a home wi! ports by means of them.

BROOKS Secretary, American Meteorological Society, Tells How. 3 Planting and Frost Dates, The dates advisable for planting of garden truck in any locality are often estimated from the average date of the last killing" frost. For example, in about the latitude of New York and Chicago, this date Is Such crops as early cab- bage 'plant, radishes, onions, early peas, and potatoes may generally be safely planted about two weeks be- fore the average date of the last killing frost, or aboyt April 15th. Beets, carrots, lettuce, and spin- ach, and early corn are planted at about the average frost date, or May 1st in the same regions. String beans and cucumbers are not usual- ly, planted, nor tomato plants set out, until about .two weeks later; while lima beans, peppers, about a month after the average date of last killing frost. Since, however, 'seasons persist in differing from the average, wild plants are used by many to furnish a guide to planting fitted tothe in. dividual place and season. When the silvér maples begin to put forth their leaves and the catkins appear on willows and poplars, it is time to plant the group of early vegetables. The story runs that a friendly In. dian, Squanto, taught the Pilgrims to plan{ corn when oak leaves were the size of squirrel's ears, a correla- tion Which still holds good. When blackberries blossom, it is warm en- ough to sow beans. For many farm- ers and gardeners the blossoming ot fruit trees and ornamental shrubs also serves to indicate the advance of the season. ------ U.F.0.'8 HELD MEETING And Aftér Business a Dainty Lunch Was Served.
