It would be an Impertinence for either to' assume a monopoly of either patriotism or intelligence. These people who are always threatening this country with the prospect of being swallowed up by the United States, unless they have their own way, are becoming a bit tiresome. The game is 80 old that it has been played out. CHANGING LIQUOR LAWS, One of the claims made by the prohibitionists in Ontario is that any move for the modification - of the Ontario Temperance Act would be but the first step towards the return of the open bar which was respon- sible for the enactment of drastic liquor legislation, A clear case of the weakness of this argument has been given in British Columbia, where a system of liquor control by the government is in force. British Columbia formerly had a drastic liquor law somewhat similar to the Ontario Temperance Act. By vote of the people, government control was introduced, providing for the sale of liquor in sealed ¢ontainers by government stores. At the provine- fal election a few days ago, the peo- Plé were asked to vote on' whether or not the sale of heer by the glass should be permitted. This proposed change in the liquor laws was voted down by a large majority, showing that the people there were quite sat- isfied with their present laws, and had no desire to modify them any further. There can be no question that this vote meant a repudiation of any step towards bringing back open bar con- ditions. The sale of beer 'by the €lass would have been the thin end of the wedge for the return of the bar, There can be little doubt of that, because there would, of neces- sity, have been a licensing of places where beer could be sold in this way had the people voted favorably. From beer over the bar to the sale of stronger liquors in a similar manner is but a short step, and this was, un- doubtedly, the consideration which prompted the voters to reject the proposed amendment. The people in British Columbia, apparently, are satisfied with government control and have no desire to tamper with their present liquor legislation, and this is a strong case in favor of modi- fying the drastic liquor laws which obtain in some of the other parts of Canada. SO) NG SURVIVES. A certain writer of fiction relates a peculiar experience: He had a rush order from a magazine, so he went far into the Canadian woods to write the story--a novelet. Out in the woods, two days' trip, from' even a village, his typewriter broke down. He tried writing with pen and ink. Then he made the curious discovery that he couldn't get his brain func- tioning to write unless his fingers were touching typewriter keys. This is a not uncommon experience of all writers, including newspaper men. The typewriter, for all practical pur- poses, has become a definite and in- dispensable part of their bodies. Some writers sit down at a type- writer and rattle off several hundred words that go promptly into the waste basket, just to start their brains functioning, What would Babe Ruth be in base- ball if he didn't have a bat?

A pair of ice tongs is an extension of lifting human arms. The body of man is a machine for expressing himself and his function or purpose in this life. So are shovels, typewriters and other inven- tions which man has added to assist his body. It makes us wonder whether, when death comes, the Real Self is affected any more than when a shoveller breaks his shovel, The force that handles the shovel continues. That force is man's spirit or soul. The same force uses the physical body as its machine or tool. Death elimi- nates the worn-out or damaged ma- chine. The guiding force lives on. i TRIAL BY JURY WOMEN. There has been much discussion of late as to the apparent failure of the jury system in this country, the argument being based on the results of several recent trials and the crit- icism by eminent judges. But the condition prevailing here is not to be compared with that existing in the adjoining republic. A satirist might find good material in a' re- cent drama enacted in Los Ang-les the other day. Y The defendant was a dramatic chauffeur accused of shooting a 'rich club man" with intent to kill, The chauffeur admitted the offense. Evérybody else admitted it. There was no question about it. The chauffeur explained that he shot in defence. of his employer, a famous movie actress. Not that the actress' life or honor was particularly endangered at the moment. The chauffeur was merely agitated because, as he explaimed heroically, the rich club man was "always keeping Matle drunk, when she needed an operation." The fair damsel had not clamored for pro- tection, and was embarrassed by the shooting. the accident occurred during the pro- gress of a prolonged aud not exactly conventional "party." Oh, well, heroism is heroism, and law may or may not be law. There was a jury of "ten middle-aged wo- men and two men." After hearing all the testimony about how the her- oic chauffeur had shot the over-gen- erous club man, the jury brought in a verdict of "Not guilty." That is, the chauffeur hadn't done the deed he had just admitted doing. And then, as the heroic chauffeur rushed from the courtroom, a free man, these ten middle-aged women jurors rushed for him, and one oi them folded him in her motherly arms and kissed him, and another shouted, expressing the obvious judgment of the jury, "You did a noble thing," after which the chauff- eur was arrested on a bootleging charge, Can you beat it? That drama should be filmed. PRESS COMMENT \ Exit the Squire, One of the most marked symptoms of change in the contemporary life of rural England is the passing of the big country house. With the disap- pearance of the squire and larg: estate-owner there goes also a very great deal that, since England was England, has ministered to the em- ployment and 'health and happiness of other sections of the rural popula- tion. There are men and women all over the countryside who, through no fault or choice of their own, are bound to be heavy losers by the pass- ing of the country house. When the owner of the house puts up the shut- ters to avoid the Bankruptcy Court, 'the inevitable result is that a con- siderable body of those to whom his estate provided work are driven into the towns; for his place is not easily filled. Some of these big country houses, no doubt, will attract new owners--men who have made enough money im trade and com- merce to keep them up. But many of them will, and flo, remain empty. They cannot all be turned into schools or institutions or country clubs. What is to become of them? --London Times.

M.D, Summer Complaint. : The summertime brings its blessings that body of yours, But it also brings along a distressing ailment which you call diarrhoea. There seems to be a general idea abroad that because the weather is warm in the summer, that the drink- ing of too much water is the cause of they trouble. Now while it is admitted that ice cause diarrhoea, nevertheless it is not the water itself, but the shock, that causes the waves along the intestine. If however, the water itself jo not pure, then it will act just like any oth- er' liquid that has decomposed. The | poisonous matter irritates the side pain and excessive flow of the watery contents of the blood. Some foods seem to irritate more than others, | varieties. + The action of unripe fruits the resultant product in turn irritates or out of season, decompose rapidly inside the body, and you have practi- cally a poisonous condition therefrom. Some of. the concoctions you put into is stale. Or perhaps the ice cream, or the cream in cakes is just a bit "off." Of course there are cases due to sudden fright, to fear, or other emo- tional disturbances. Some folks wear a wide band around the waist, claiming that a chill across the abdomen al- ways brings on an attack. And the treatment. The mothers of bygone years had the right idea when they administéred a good stiff dose of castor oil. The "theorists", their children, always ob- jected, pointing cut that as the intes- tine was certainly active enough, why castor oil or other evecuant at this time is to remove the cause completely from the intestine. The next step is to give the entire canal a complete rest, and so no food whatever should be taken for a day'or two. You'll feel somewhat weak but you'll live through it all right. Milk is rather a risky thing with which to begin nourishment, be- cause it is so hard to know whether or not it is fresh or has been pasteurized. It is not considered wise to take opium in. the oliinary attacks of diarr- hoea. You should come back to or- dinary foods gradually. You must of course be careful that constipation does not follow, and so olive oil, or the mineral oils, or the old fashioned injection would be good treatment.

It marks the site of the Manor House of Longueuil, and is partly butt from the stones of that great old home, which recalled to Frontenac the chateaus of his native land. The Seigneury of Longueuil was one ot the most prosperous in Canada, and its owner Charles LeMoyne, became the father of a large family of fam- ous sons, including - D'Iberville, de Maricourt, Blenville, de Ste. Helene, and de Serigny, all of whom were distinguished officers in the army and navy, and his heir, Baron Le Moyne de Longueuil, who was Gov- ernor of Montreal and administered the colony in the absence of the King's representative. On this day in 1665, the elder LeMoyne was captured at Montreal by Iroquois, and held for three months until three tribes, the Onandagas, the Cayugas and - Senacas arrived at Quebec, bringing LeMoyne with them as a peace offering, boasting that not even one of hig finger nail had been torn out nor any part of his body burnt. The barony of Longueuil still exists, and is recog- nized by Britain. By intermarriage, after the corquest the family name 'is now Grant.

BROOKS Secretary, American Meteorologioal} Society, Tells How, wey North America Inhales. In summer time North America inhales; air flows into the hot inte- rior from over the cooler oceans, The rate of respiration is not very rapid, as the continent draws but one good breath a day. This interchange of air 'occurs on a small scale on most of the coasts, as the seabreeze, a wind which extends hardly more than 5 or 10 miles inland on the north Atlantic coast, Throughout the whole wide central plains area, how- ever, this tendency is magnified; the seabreeze is enlarged into the stea- dier "monsoon" and the wind usually blows jn a southerly direction day and nfght during July. Within 100 to 200 miles of the southern coast, however, a periodic freshening of the general monsoon is experienced, as the daily seabreeze travels in-shore. Jn addition to the usual sequence of highs and lows which appear-on the weather maps and travel across the continent, we may speak of larg- er and more permanent tendencies to high or low pressure, called "centres of action." In summer our weather is controlled by four such centres. The large North American Low, over the heated interior plains, is charac- teristic of a continent in summer. A smaller area of low pressure, the Arizona Low, 1s located over Mexico. To the southeast lies the Bermuda High in the region of the horse lati- tudes, normally a belt of high pres- sure. The California High, off the western coast, lies also in the horse latitudes snd in a region where the water is cool »."
