All parents should feel a sympa- thetic response to the campaign cry <| of the State Federation of Penusyl- vania Women, "Keep the Home To- gether." The members of the Fed- eration tear the foundations of so- ciety are in peril of being undermin- ed, if not torn apart, by the economic and social changes which are taking place in the United States, a fear which is shared by many other per- gons not ordinarily given to viewing social phenomena with alarm. Under the double influenes of re- volutionary changes in the old con- ventions and proprieties and apart ment house living, the supervision and control once exercised by par- ents over their children is being weakened and the younger genera- tion, in many cases, Is taking the ordering of its conduct into its own hands. With the narrowing, too, of the living quarters of a family by | | the restricted space of.an apartment, the privacy that was possible to each member in the individual home is be- ing lost, and girls and boys too fre- quently resort to the streets for the freedom which they crave. The result ig all too apparent in the wildness which is being exhibit- ed by many of the younger genera: tion, a wildness which often runs to crime, It ¢annot be hoped that the oid rule of a separate house for each family can be continued. If, for no other reason, it is becoming econo- mieally impossible for the,average family to buy or even rent a whole house for itself, and the apartment or flat is the alternative, The problem' is a large one. The home must he preserved, even if it be not the same kind that it was once the common privilege to possess. No society cam endure of 'which the family is not the base, and families cannot be kept together anywhere except in the home, BOOMING TRADE. During the twelve months ended June 30th last, according to the Lon- don Times Trade & Engineering Supplement, the United States im- ported goods from the Dominion of Canada to the value of £83,500,000 and from the United Kingdom™to the value of only £68,000,000. The Times comments on this as a dis- quieting fact revealed by the study of the foreign trade returns of the United States, and states that dur- ing the five years before the war, British exports to the United States averaged £656,000,000 in value an- nually; the next important sources of supply for the United States be- ing Germany with £35,100,000 worth of merchapdise, then France with £26,000,000; Cuba was fourth and Canada fifth. The market for Brit ish goods found in the United States covered a very wide variety of manu- factures, mostly of high grade char- acter, and therefore entailing the employment of a larga. amount of labor. Now, however, gays the Times, Oapada has taken the place of the mother country as the principal ex- porter to the United States. The reasons given why the Dominion has so greatly increased her sales to her southern neighbor are the circum- stance that American capital per- meates industry, and that the American demand for newsprint and pulp is very heavy, and it & commented upon as noteworthy also focks of his head strength went from him. With his hair cut, Samson Was weak. His enemies "put out: his éyes and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house." ! But his hair grew long again.... and he pulled the pillars from under a roof upon which were "about 3,000 men and women." / As science studies the endocrine glands, it finds an interesting rela- tionship between long hair and strength. The growth of the hair is regulated by the thyroid gland. Long, fast-growing hair means that the thyroid gland is over-active in manu- facturing its mysterious chemicals. And an active thyroid means that an abnormal amount of energy is being generated--nervous energy, rather than muscular. The "hyper-thyrold" has to visit the barber often. He has a ravenous appetite without becoming fat; needs lots of fuel. He is a human dynamo, a terrific worker though quickly ex- hausted. Does cutting the, hair destroy strength? Men who, are nervously highly-keyed often think so. They find themselves lanquid after visiting the barber, and uncomfortably super- charged with energy when they need haircut or shave--restless, unable to take life quietly, with repose, There may be a scientific reason for artists and musicians wearing their hair long. Possibly an instinct tells them that this is the way to keep their 'batteries charged. . On the other hand, in some {ll- nesses such ag typhoid fever, it is necessary-to bob the head to keep strength from 'going to the hair." But even viewed from this angle, the hair and the matter of strength are interlocked. A weird electro-chemical machine is the human body. THE PLEBISCITE. It is certainly very much to be re- gretted that the division of opinion among the electors of the province on the subject of prohibition is as close as was shown yesterday, Un- der democratic institutions a mino- rity is = minority, and must abid® by the decision of the majority even if tire difference be but a single vote; but in such questions as that of pro- hibition there isa special need for a demonstration of strong public opinion in favor of the law, and a special danger resulfifig from any | proot of its wide unpopularity. The situation is the more unfor- tunate, in that the ote in faver of the existing law shows & very heavy reduction from that which was ac- corded jt when it was first adopted; and also in that the prohibition vote ig largely confined to the rural areas, and that the urban districts show heavy majorities in favor of the alternative proposal. This divi- slon existed, it is true, in the vote at the previous plebiscite, but it is greatly accentuated In yesterday's figures. It seems likély to provoke a cortain Amount of résentment, and to enhance the alréady sufficient dif- ficulty of enforcing prohibition in the urban areas. "The narrowness of the majority throws a great responsibility upon the advocates of prohibition, They are entitled to claim the fruits of their victory; but it will be necessary for them to work very bard in order that there may not be even a suspi-| clon that the change of opinion that has taken place.since the last plebis- cite is still proceeding further. It may be well for them to consider the question of possible modifications of the Ontario Temperance Act with a view to removing some of the objec- tions which led to so large a poll} being registered against it. We do not for an instant suggest any re- laxation in the vigor of its enforce- ment; to allow the law to becomes more ineffective than before would be to invite even more unpopular ity. But sonie of the more vindic- 1's | tive penalties which it fmposes, and some of the more devious methods quents, might well be abondoned.

Strong men who give exhibitiéns of their strength in the veudeville theatres, have heen known to eat a chocolate bar or a plece of taffy, | twenty minutes to half an hour be- fore thelr performance. Athletes who have to enter more than one competition or game dur- ing an afternoon, are often given a good clear pure form of candy dur- ing the waiting period. Some of our men who go hunting in the fall carry chocolate bars along with them, when they are going to be out for a number of hours on & stretch. And our explorers whether Into the heat of the tropics,.or the cold of the Arctics, Illkewise carry "sweeties." Now what about this? Well, the sugar in candy, or su- gar itself, 18 one of the greatest en- ergy producers in existence. It is in such a concentratéd form, that it can be purchased cheaper than any other food known; that is from the food value stdfidpoint. So that although you may have memo- ries of good white sugar at five cents a pound, and now find it eight to ten cents, you are still getting good value for your money. Now why is it so valuable to a man using his muscles for hard work or hard play? Because it gets into the blood stream to do its work in twenty to thirty minutes, whereas other forms of starchy food may take as long as two or more hours before the muscles can use them. After the sugar leaves the sto- mach and gets into the small intes- tine, it finds, Itself carried in a short time to the liver, where it is stored temporarily. When a muscle wants to work it needs energy to make it move of contract. The way this en- ergy is created is by burning the sugar in the muscle cells, just as gasoline. burning gives energy to your motor engine. Now you'll notice that I've deen talking about the valué of sugar to thopé who work hard, or play hard. It $ives them immediate results, immediate energy. i But whit about folks who like sugar and candy, but ad\not work hard or play hard? I don't need to tell you what hap- pens to them because you've seen it often. They simply get fat, Dbcause this sugar not being used, gets stor- ed in the tissues as fat, after the liver has all ite needs stored away. The lesson is plain, isn't it?
