The giving of huge endowments is a fine on of the growing spirit of brotherhood and service; but it has for the most part followed along lines which have by this time lost the edge of novelty. Mr. Simon Guggenheim has, however, found a new way of doing something for the common good. With his wife, He has given $3,000,000 for the establish ment of scholarships having a three- fold purpose--education, research and a better intepfiational under standing. It is this third object which makes & trend of effort in a hitherto unexploited fleld. The pos- sibilities are stimulating. It is somewhat striking that this bandsome gift should have been made available at the very moment that Sir Rudyard Kipling was send- ing out to the world his recent warn- ing against what he has called "the new warfare of ill-will." Obviously, the only antidote to ill-will is good- will. Ninety-nine per ceamt, of all the suspicion and envy and hatred that keep nations from co-operatin® is due to misunderstanding that dis- tressing fact; but, unlike most of us, he is in the fortunate position of being able to do' something to assert a corrective influence. If the indefinite era of peace re- cently predicted by General Dawes and Sir George Paish is to get pro- misingly under way, its essential foundation must not only be thd "fair play and co-operation" to which those eminent economists al- luded, but there must also be a bet- wer International understanding. Nations are not different from in- dividuals fu their response to the common fostinets of numau nature. | No man can work satisfactori'y with one whom he distrusts. Mutuality rests on confidence, and there can not be confidence while the other fellow"s motives are suspected. Europe is saturated with that sort of feeling, born out of centuries of strife and selfishness. If we are to have perpetual peace, all that bit- terness must be got out of the way. Mr. Guggenheim probably has iI mind a comprehensive scheme of sustained missionary work. It is a noble aim. Carried out with skill and zeal, no one may say what may be the results in the nitimate reck- oving. The evangel of a better in. ternational understanding may well take his place beside the messenger of our common Christianity. Both would be working to the same end. Those who fear our civilisation i tottering would do well to see in this vast outpouring of money for world welfare the plain proofs of mighty farces at work, along constructive es.

It the Dawes plan works out suc- cessfully; it carries with it the re- storation of Germany to her place as a factor in world trade, There i8 no other way. We may all feel resentful against the nation which brought on the bloodiest war in all -hisfory, and may find it hard to look on while she regains her industrial and commercial strength; but only in that way can she make reparation. The Dawes plan provides that she shall commence with the paymeit of $260,000,000 per annum, and rise to A maximum of $600,000,000 by 1928-29. These sums are to be paid in 'marks, and to give full value to those currency units it is imperative of exports, : ' Unless German plants are put to productive use, and the Sngndes of the country are at the s time {same time to German pride.

Theoretically legis- lative bodies are representative of the whole péople, and therefore the will of the legislative bodies is said to be that of society. But sometimes it happens that laws which do not represent the public will ara adopt- ed. Theoretically the public would be powerless against such unjust laws, but fortunately the people con- trol the administrative officers and decide which Jaws shall be eaforced ang which shall note invoked. The statute books are fillea with forgot- ten laws, and it is the people, not the police, who have determined their fate. It is not a coincidence that when the public wants a law enforced the authorities enforce it and that when the public "thumb" is turned down on a statute that the police and courts obey. The power of the ballot is still a power and the voice of the people can still bé heard. THE PICTURE PAGE. Perish the thought that the world is growing sad. Those who so read faces about them can not be picture. page fans. Look at any group of printed pictures, and most of the faces that Jook back at you are smiling. If the printed smiles are of happiness, then this is a mirthtul, merry age in which we are living. At any rate; it is not a sad one. But how is it that the camera man so often catches them with smiles on their faces? Has he some special comedy that he springs just as he looses the shutter? The smile that almost invariably marks the picture of pretty girls is easter to under stand. Mayhap they are thinking of the pleasure their pictures will give to beauty-loving observers. Or may- hap they have pretty teeth. But be all this as it may, the picture page is evidence that the world has not lost its smiles. HOW TO BE HEALTHY. A, comfortable income is a fair passport to happiness, but only if there is good health ro complement it. To a greater extent than any other factor, good health is the key to an enjoyable existence. Next to the weather, men spend most timd narrating their ill-health exper fences. . To a considerable degree this con- own fault. The alternative to poor health is sensible exercise; there ds a general indictment that as a peo- ple we are too ready to watch others disport for our amusement and ndt ready enough to play ourselves for the good of our health as well as for pleasure.

"The play's the thing." et ---- That Body By James W. Baten. M.D Holding the Poison. A manufacturer consulted his family physician regarding a contin- uous ache in his shoulder joint. As there was no history of injury, the physiclan advised an X-Ray of the teeth. Three of the teeth show- ed marked abscesses at the roots, and were removed. The pain in the shoulder didn't get very much bet- |i} ter, and the patient told his doctor that he had given up three teeth for nothing. The physician put it to him this way. "You are a manufacturer and are turning out certain articles. You sell them to wholesale houses, who keep them'on their shelves for cers tain periods, long or short, and then sell them to the retailer, who in turn keeps them on his shelf before they are finally disposed of. Now the same thing occurs your own body. - You have stopped the manufac ture of those harmful substances in the teeth. ¥ However, you have throughout your system certain little glands which take these substances from the blood In a wholesale way. This of- ten causes the glands to swell, as you have seen under the armpit, at the elbow, in the neck, in the groim, in and so forth. Thus these poisons iy are still in your body, on the shelves as it were, or these glands. The reason that glands store them is so that too much of the poison may not get into the blood at any one time, and cause trouble to the system. Accordingly, the glands allow a little of the poison at a time to go into the blood around the system, and he thrown out completely at last. 'In other words the glands are sort of wholesalers on one side, holding the poison for a time, and then retailers on the other side, sending. it out in small quantities 80 as not have too much poison in the blood at one time. Thus in your body, although the poison factory--<the bad teeth---has stopped m turing, there is still considerable goods on the shelves-- in the glands----and it takes time, sometimes months, to get 'it all out of the system." The reason many people get relief from pain immediately after the re- moval of tebth and tomsils, is be- cause the glinds get control of the situation sooner in some cases. : S80 don't be discouraged if your joint pain doesn't disappear imme- diately. , » Remember that manufactured goods are still in your system. ab i Magch 5. + Kingston, whith has been twice the capital and twice robbed of that honor, was feeling the pangs of disappointment at this time in 1844, over the decision to remove parliament to Montreal. Simcoe had organized the first government of Upper Canada here in 1792, and here Sydenham had organized the government of Unfted Canada, in 1841. Kingston was then chosen as a site acceptable to both French and English, as it had combined so much vital interest to the histdry of both. Montreal was a city of 40,000 péo- and St. Anne's market place, a 'huge building 350 feet long and 50 feet wide, was converted into a House of Parliament.
