HPV Labor, freed of the restricted classification it sometimes employs, expresses the greatest common face tor in hyman life. The being who, 'having health, does not labor is not and can not be happy, for life in. active numbs the imagination and stunts the soul, That halted growth which in a ohild-minded adult excites in these days profound sympathy and helpfulness, becomes tragic when the contraction of development is moral. Labor Day is born, it is true, of that Labor which takes on a specific grouping of society. None will de- sire to minimise the high dignity of the very meanest of tasks, nor can it be other than a gratifying conclu- sion that Labor to-day embraces a wide range of splendid citizens, high in intelligence, energetic in effort, and in the supreme sense contribu- tors to civilization, But neither is there anything in the day or in the significance it en- joys to prevent every citizen from reflecting on that larger labor which is all of life and which circumseribes all of worthy humanity. Perhaps by recognising this broader phase it is possible to reinstitute that mutual understanding and encouragement which marked the distant days when specialized society did not exist, when every man was his own eervant. It may be that in acknowledging the common {inheritance of toil labor may find it useful to study Labor, and 80 discover that the problems which stretch themselves through the daily news from year's end to year's énd are everybody's problems. It seems to be true that the ulti- mate peace and goodwill of society depends on this clarification. There is no available argument to lessen the vital importance to every mem- ber of society of solving the troubled condition In which Labor struggles so often for rights that seem obvious- ly just and yet so difficult to achieve without peril to the economic struc- ture. This ecomomie structure itself, with all its hated terms and phrases, is, when all is said, the machinery of existence not for Labor alone nor for Capital alone, but for everyoody. Labor Day, glorious monument that it is to the sturdy etfort oa which great astions of home-folks Bre erected, may serve also for a day of rededication of every citizen to the study of the life around him, and the great problem of exist®ace which to-day is phrased in terms of eco- nomic mysteries, It is everybody's business, and when every man and woman attends to this business, the problems of society may hope to be dissolved in understanding. cesanas TATIVES; $t., Montreal 100 King St W, to the Editor are published over the actual mame of the d men don't shine, wd 3 A man with g son'in college learns Pablo: Ho was a good feliow, but they didn't let him pay. b ------------------ Ob, Love, what atrocious cooking the dridegrcom puts up with in thy "eo An easy mark may be a man who As to exercise, however, the way to fatten geese and hogs is to pen .

Not that those institutions are in themselves finer or better equipped than those of the east; what surprised the British mind was the fact that communities so new, 80 recently gettled on the soil, so near to the pioneering stage of eco- nomic life, should have had the courage and self-denial to establish for themselves these magnificent homes of learning.

Not content with establsh- which had been oolsyunally provid ed for in the east, the west went much further. ,Too impatient to wait for private enterprise to pro- vide various other types of service, notably transportation, it used the general credit for them also, and be- gan that career of public ownership of everything conceivable which is at present working out in some quarters with such uncomfortable results. The transportation enter- prises did not always pay for them- selves within the time expected. With higher education, another public ser- vice in which the west was exceed- ingly ambitious, the results have been better; there can be IMttle doubt that most if mot all of the educational institutions west of Port Arthur are yielding a good re- turn for the public funds put into them, " : The west is now developing accu- mulations of private wealth of its own, and it is perhaps to be hoped that the period of excessive reliance on the borrowing powers of the com- munity is over. State ownership may at times be the only price at which universities can be ohtained; but it may aleo be a high price to Pay. The establishment of one or two strong privately-endowed col- leges in Western Canada would be & useful check upon, and stimulus to the work of the provincial univer- sites. And indeed any example of the value of being independent of the state has its uses to-day in al. most any part of Canada. Even the energetic and ambitious westerners are beginning to show the effects of a whole generation and more of looking to the state for almost everything. PITY THE PRINCE. The mumbo-jumbos of American newspaperdom have seiséd on the Prince of Wales and they will not let him go till they have squeezed every possible headline out of him. His slightest nod or move ¢an be dressed up as news and platoons of the cleverest reporters eavesdrop without mercy or shame, The prince buys a couple of suii- cases for hig journey and transat- lantic cables report the affair at length, His departure for the boat is chronicled with similar detail. But not until he is safely aboard does the real high-pressure report- ing begin. His habits, his clothes, his athletics, his taste in dancing partners are all exposed. Does he have a number two with Miss A. from St. Louis, Mo.? She and her aunt and théir private affairs are immediately ground through the press. Even his royal perspiration receives a paragraph to itself, And now that he is in the Land of the Free where the reportars can really got at him, who knows to what de- tells we may not be treated! The business smacks of unfair ex- ploitation. . All his public move- ments and attéendancé at various celebrations and functions are legi- timéite news. But to break in upon and steal his private hours is too much like brigandage. Kven a prince is entitled to consideration. How- ever, he must know by now tha: in the newer democracies like Canada and the United Statss he will not always recedve it. Un his official visit to Canada at a place ealled Kingston, Ont., his private car was stormed late one evening by a lon- ising crowd who obtainsd his duto- graph even on bits of handdills has- ily gleaned from the utter by some who had no paper in their pockets. Buch treatment would not be borne for a minute By a private citisen. It is one of the qualities which endear this amiable young man that ne shoulders so cheerfully a prince's burden. SAN X \ i ow Boos TY ing by communal action the services | '| Burglary .. .. By James W. Barton, M.D, The Real Cause, A. young physician asked a nerve specialist just how a certain case should be handled. "The patient is depressed all the time. He gets very little sleep, is awake for hours at a time, During the day his thoughts are apparently miles away from his work, and only by concentration for a few minutes at a time, 1s he able to hold his position at all. He is very careful and cautious about his food, picking and choosing with the utmost concern, because he believes certain foods are injurious. He is gradually losing weight and I'm in a qudhdary. I've been all over him, have had an X-Ray taken of his teeth, have given him an X-Ray meal, have givén him test meals, and can find no or- ganic trouble whatever." "What did you finally tell him?" "I told him that there was noth- ing wrong, and just as soon as he forgot that he was sick he'd be all right." "Well you'll not be able to help him now, because if he believes he is sick, he is just as sick as If he were really sick." The subsequent history of that pa- tient is interesting. He went to dhother physician who took a very keen interest in him, be- cause he realized that he-was reach- ing a point where further discourage ment might be serious. Accordingly, he spent considerable time hearing all the various symp- toms as they were outlined in great detail by the patient, He suggested some simple treat- ment and requested the patient to return in a week, He then spen! an hour hearing all about the symptoms again. Further simple treatment was out- lined, and the patient requested to return in a week. The physician then said, "I find you have gonie nervous disability and also some symptoms indicating a dis- turbance in digestion, and of the heart and circulation. After careful examination L find that your nervous ailment is causing the digestive and heart disturbance, so you'd better tell what is preying upon your mind so deeply. The patient broke right down, and told & story that was really a con- fession. ' The physician was able to explain away this difficulty, and 'the other symptoms disappeared with it.
