URBAN AND RURAL, The significance of the recent two byeselections in the proviuce of Quebec should pot be lost sight of, either by the Liberals or the voters at large. Ome of these contests was held in a rural constituency, that of Rimouski, which gave the Liberal candidate a majority of nearly 2, 000. Here it was clearly shown that bthe agricultural interests avd the small villagers are in hearty accord with the King government's policy of reducing taxation and affording a measure of relief to those wno tofl with their hands. The other bye-electiop took place in the very heart or an industrial disrict in the biggest city in Canada. Here every argument that high pro- tectionists might be expected to use was called into play; here, if sny- where in this broad dominion, that %| policy might be expected to win. The industrial workers were toid that a yote for the government candidate would mean nothing less than the closing of more factories and an in- crease in unemployment. Calamity would surely overtake them jf they gave support to a candidate who fa- vored a tariff that gave relief to the masses rather than revenue to the Hon. Arthur Meighen's ap- peal for support for high protection fell upon deaf ears, even im this ur- ban constituency. The minister of marine, Hon. P. J. A. Cardin, aptly describes the Montreal vietory as one for '"pro- tection of all the classes over high protection for a few classes." The defeat of the Conservative candi. date in St. Antoine division is one of the worst blows administered to that party in many years, Little wonder that Mr. Meighen refused to com- ment on the result. There was no- thing for him 'to say. IL was a great victory that Liberalism won in Montreal, and much of the credit { Hon. Mr. Cardin. Both the rural and the urban dis. tricts have expressed their satisfac. tion with the government of Hon. W. L. Macknzie King. And as Quebec has spoken, so will speak the rest of Canada when the time comes, LEEDS COUNTY, WAKE UP, Charleston Lake is some forty miles east. of Kingston, but only eighteen' miles west of Brockville, the county town of Leeds. The roads from this city to Charleston are ex- cellent--none better could be desir- ed. The road from Brockvilie to Athens and thence to Charleston is a crime. The old Farmersville plank road, connecting these points, has gone to pieces completely. It is well-nigh impassable to-day. No motorist will go over it if he can possibly avoid doing so. Charleston Lake {is one of the beauty spots of Eastern Ontario. Its shores are adapted to bathing, boat. ing and the location of summer homes. - Its waters afford practically all kinds of fishing- pleasures. In the deeper portions salmon abound; in the shallower reaches pike, bass and other specimens of the, finhy tribe are found in great numbers. The scenery along its shores and among its many charming islands is unsurpassed. Not only Leeds county residents, but Americans from all parts of the union, have established summer homes upon its attractive shores. Leeds county should construct an up-to-date highway from Brockville to this ldvely retreat. In that event, American tourists as well as Cana- dian would flack in countless num- bers to this charming resort. Not only would they find delight and re- juvenation, but tne county as a whole would reap rich benefits. Every farm along the highway would increase in value. It was only a year or so ago that a certain farmer on the Toronto-Hamilton highway valued his property at from $6,000 to $8,000. Such has been the increase of tourist traffic along that improved artery of travel that he has subdivided his farm and wiil now realize more than $60,000 for it. And what has been done in the western part of the province can be done just as well in the east. All that is needed is the courage and the foresight. Leeds county should lead the way in establishing an up- to-date road to Charleston Lake, THE NEED FOR ABOLISHING WA. At the battle of Waterloo 9,044 artillery rounds were fired having a total weight of 37.3 toms, while on France, on the British front alone, 943.887 artillery rounds were fired weighing 18,080 tons--over 10d] times the number of rounds and 485 times the weight of projectiles. The "improvement" that has béen made in old-time millary weapons is as- tounding; but when, in addition to this, a thousand new agencies of de- pation is staggered by contemplation of the horrors that another war be- tween the great powers would pre- cipitate upon the human race, That & thousand new weapons are "| at the disposal of armies is vouched for by a committees of the world's : {most eminent scientists who have been studying the subject Zor the League of Nations.' That number of r| PolsOfi gases is now available, the !commitiee reports, and adds: "We is due to,the excellent work done by one day during the last oftensive in|. struction are discovered, the imagi-|' saw nothing during the lsst, war comparable to the probabie desirue- tion of industrial centres and the massacre of civilian populations in the event that another important conflict occurs." The committee doubts if disease- breeding bacteria can be employed successfully as a military weapon; but there ig little consolation 1a that in view of the fiendish powers of some of the new gases. One causes a fata) lesion of the heart, but with- out pain, so that the victim remains ignorant to the end of having been attacked. Another aots on the di- gestive organs; a third 'nterferes with the normal functions of the blood and prevents transmission ot oxygen from the Jungs to the tissues. Microbes are to be pooh-poohed in comparison with the power of the new chemical weapons to wreck the health, While progress is being made in devising protective measures, the League of Nations committee points out that the attack always manages to get ahead of the defense. Science, which should be man's servant, is be- ing applied to diabolical purposes. Unless the civilized races can-be in- duced to avoid armed conflict there is danger that they will destroy themselves with their dreaded new weapons. Common sense dictates that the British Empire shall keep up its army and navy and equip it- self with every weapon that is likely to be employed in war until civiliga- tion arrives &t the point where it will be willing to forego war. But common sense dictates still more em- phatically that nothing shall be left undone to maintain peace. Civilization will be a mockery if it fails to prevent use being made of the frightful agencies of destruction which the nations now have at their disposal. THE SOCIAL INSTINCT. One of man's evolutionary traits is his social instinct or gregariousness. Few human habits are more highly developed and none is more patent. There is an attraction between men that is not to be denied. It is not strange that a physician, testifying in a hearing to determine the ganity of a woman, declared her insane because she refused herself the companionship of others. On the contrary, the community has no doubts about the insanity lof every recluse. In the days of witchcraft those who lacked the socia] instinct were in danger of the stake. . The mad house receives many of tiem to- day. The brotherhood of man is always prevalent, but it is never more pro- nounced than among those from- back-home or with those having pomething in 'common. © If you have ever taken a motor trip you have no- ticed the hand-waving neighborliness displayed between the passengers of cars hailing from the same city or éven the same province. The fleet- ing greeting could be no warmer be- tween two neighbors or long-parted friends, residents of the same com- munity, who were never known to assoclate with each other at home, have been known to have "chum- med" around together upon a chance meeting in a distant city or a foreign country, With millions of faces about him, man gets hungry for only ome familiar face from home. There are times when the indivi- dual tires of society, when friends betray and human competition be- comes too keen and everything is left behind for a sojourn in the wilds Away from all mankind. It happens the weather becomes as hot as the social contact, but just as often lone- liness drives the disgusted-with-hu- manity back into civilization = and the company of other men and wo- men. Between society and the soli- tary life man accepts the former as the more perfect of two imperfect conditions, LAN NZS | AL ] y : September Oth, When fire destroyed the historic chapel of the Récollects in Quebec, on this day in 1796, several old lead coffing were revealed in the vaults below the floor.

That Body of Pours "By Jawes W, Barton. M.D, A Good Suggestion. A physician recently made a rather timely suggestion to his brethien in the profession. He thought that jt would be a wise proceeding to have the areas of the country where goitre was prevalent, marked on a map, so that both the profession and the people generally, would know their location. : He quite frankly stated that areas where gold, silver, metal, or coal were known to exist, were marked on the maps by the geological de- partment of the government. Therefore, the health department should likewise get out a map show- ing the locations where goitre was common to the inhabitants. The doctors in these districts, and the people themselves, would be so educated abot the condition, that its prevention would oniy be a matter of time, It has been known to farmers in certain districts that to prevent goi- tre in animals, a special salt contain- ing iodine was absolutely necessary. A rather hopeful sign of the grow- ing knowledge of the preveition of this condition, is the sale in grocery stores of an ordinary table salt con- taining fodine. The profession has still much to learn about goitre, its cause, snd effect upon the system. A But where a' definite number of school childrea in a district, known to be *"goitrous," are given a treat- ment with iodine, a number of times a year, and an equal number are not given it, the users of iodine do not develop goitre, and the non users do, there can hardly be any room for argument as to prevention of goitre, even if the exact cause is unknown. At the present time manufactures are making up preparations from the thyroid glands of animals, which are being used in adults for the cure of goitre. This work is of course in its infancy, and standard prepara- tions giving definite results are not yet obtainable, But the significant point about the manufacture of these .preparations, is that the firms are all aiming to attain a definite percentage of iodine for a cértain dosage. : In pther words if js still Li® fodine content that is the factor. ith children "afflicted 'with goitre, if in addition td the fodine, neck exer- cises are given, splendid results are often quickly attained, The young- ster lies face downward, on a couch, or on the floor, and tries to put his chin on his chest, then draws the head back until the eyes are staring at the ceiling, then chin on chest again, This is done about twelve to fif- {een times at least, twice a day, This helps to compress the lump.

He keeps from eighteen to twenty men constantly employed. He could employ more than that num- ber did he fulfill all the orders he receives; but the cruel system of extended oredits, so much in vogue in Canada, prevents him from deal- ing with any but very Ike cash orders. Mr. Mair is a very intelli- gent mechanic, and when seen among his men is always sdre to have his jacket off, working away like a sensible man and worthy of the success and encouragement he has met with. > Marriott's Axe Factory. The making of axes in Kingston was introduced by the contractors at the Provincial Penitentiary; and the success which those gentlemen met with in the sale of their axes in con- junction with Mr. Henry Armstrong, a hardware merchant of Kingston, to attempt the manufacture with private means. They have conee- quently erected a brick building in Princess Street, next door to Mar- riott's well known blacksmith shop, where they now turn out from eighty to a tiundred axes a day. The machinery by which these axes are made is curious to look at. There are two large grindstones at work for grinding the axes after they are forged. Other stones there are for finishing and polishing, and the whole are turned by broad leather belts, pendiint from above, and worked by a eteam engine, as are also the bellows for the two fur- naces. There is no favor in trade. If the Penitentiary contractors can make better axes and eell them cheaper than Meesrs. Marriott end Armstrong, let the people buy of them; but if, as we are informed, the latter gentlemen can supply the trade as well if not better, let them be encouraged, for their enterprize deserves it. ---------------- | WHY THE WEATHER? | DR.
