Canada cannot be indifferent to spects the impending issue between | the mine operators and the miners. | We are large consumers of anthra-| cite, and are entirely dependent on the United States for our supply. Last year we imported $44,005,108 worth. The account has shown steady growth for many years; for we have not only required more coal | but we have been compelled to pay | more for it. In 1913 our imports | of anthractte averaged $4.81 per ton. In 1924 they averaged 33.95, The issue between the disputants is, as it has invariably been, the | wages to be pald. Over and over the Senate have Investigated the] coal situation; but, whether because | of political consideration or other | reasons, mothing has been. done to] bring about peace or give stability | to the trade. The only good which | these inquiries have done has been to bring out the fact that. there are | too many mines and too many min- ers. THNe inevitable result of such an uneconomic situation has been to keep the miners discontented, not because of the scale of their pay but the high degree of unemployment. | As for the mine operators, they have | always been able to pass on the effect of swelling pay-rolls to the | consumers of coal. This is a domestic matter, how- ever, and Canada, despite her deep interest in all that happens, has no right to interfere, even with advice. It is reassuring, negertheless, to know that an accumulated reservé of 12,000,000 tons will meet the de- mands of consumers for two months, should the negotiations which are to begin on 1st September prove abor- tive. At this stage, it looks as if the proposal of the operators to re- duce wages, and the demand of the miners for an increase, might end jn a saw-off as to that point, and re- duce the possible cause of a strike to the perennial question of the "check- | off." As has been said, we Cana- dians can only lqgok on in an atti- tude of respectful neutrality; but we are vitally concerned all the same. EE ---------- MODERN ADVENTURE. Modern inventions have not de- stroyed adventure. They have made it. Who since Marco Polo has had such a record as a Raold Amundsen? The South Pole on foot; the North Pole, and, after four hundred years of search, the first navigation of the northwest passage. And after him goes MacMillan--better equipped mechanically -- incidentally for the Pole, but primarily to explore from the air the unknown lands of the far north. If getting to places, taking risks and conquering difficulties is adventure, this is the very age of ad- venture. After all, the earth is small, and the exploration even of its frozen tips and hidden wilds is fin- ally exhausted. Modern life offers a greater adventure. Would you go far afleld? Astronomers, within the year, have expanded the horizon of thought a thousand fold. Would you delve in mysteries? Physicists have penetrated as far within the atom as astronomers have gone into the outer universe, Would you yeap the wonders "of Aladdin? Science has made them common- place. And even the vain struggle of Faust to touch the core of knowledge is no longer hopeless. Man can hurl his body through the air and send his mind through the outer spaces. These are greater adventures than any that Polo, Magellan, Columbus or Amundsen knew. Ni BUSINESS OPTIMISM. b do well to read the monthly bulletins which are now being sent out by most of the leading banks, since they are based on information gathered in a broad survey of busi- ness conditions throughout the Do- minion. The leaflet of the Royal Bank for July presents the following summary: "The tone of the annual con- vention of the Canadian Manufac- turers Association which met in Hamilton this past month was more cheerful than for the past couple of years. It may not be an exaggeration to state that many of the manufacturers of Ontario and Quebec feel that, although the situation is still spotty, the end of the depression is at hand. Over- - production rather than undercon- _burg fleet resulted in quite satls- factory fares and good prices have been obtained.

In any |i {case they are not likely to obtain in | the situation across the line as re-| belief that, on the whole, we are do- | future to the extent they have in the but there are ample reasons for the ing well. UNEMPLOYMENT CASES. It will be reassuring to the people of Canada to be told by official re- ports that unemployment had prac- tically ceased by the middle of last month. favorable to open-air work, the groups of idle men segregated in the cities had been absorbed. When the | garnering of the harvest gets under way, we shall probably hear com- plaints of labor scarcity. Confronted by such facts, we must frankly re- cognize what we have come to call | again committees of Congress and "the unemployment problem" is a| thing almost entirely seasonal in character. That problem presents itself wholly to the larger cities, since it is in those centres the un- employed gather during the winter months. In seeking a solution of the unem- ployment problem, our Canadian cities would do well to think twice before adopting the British dole plan. It is now generally admitted to have been a lamentable failure; yet, having been given effect, no one seems to know how it can be got rid of. Men who were among the most ardegt advocates of the dole system are now frankly arrayed against it. Mr. George Lansbury, one of the most aggressive of the group of avowed Socialists in the British Parliament, recently had this to say about ft: - Zz "No young man should be given a cent for doing nothing. If he © will not go on a farm and work, he should starve. It is a crime against society to lead young men to believe that they can live by do- ing nothing." ! This would plainly indicate a radi- cal change of sentiment among the leaders of the labor movement in England. Mr. Lansbury is authority for the statement that it had led to "wholesale demofalfzation."" It has cost Great Britain $2,500,000,000 since the armistice. Not all the bur- den, however, has fallen on the Gov- ernment. The borough of West Ham, In London, for example, has spent $17,000,000 on doles and is now in a state of bankruptcy. It was practically impossible to prevent frauds. Quite recently one recipient of doles was found to be drawing $40 per week from eight different funds. The demoralization, As a well-informed writer has put fit: "While there are tens of thousands of sélf-respecting men and women, whe are out of work and refuse to apply for doles, there is an immense- ly larger number of people who are practising all manner of degrading deceptions in order to get some of this free money." That was really inevitable from the start. The dole system stands condemned by the plain teachings of expefience. No matter what situation may develop in Canada as respects unemploy- ment, we must avoid the mistake of the mother country in seeking a remedy. MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION TO-DAY. The government regards the cost of living as the most important of all questions which the country has to face at this time. It is one that cannot be met simply by tariff changes here and there, no mat- ter how considerable they may be. The problem before Canada to-day, accepting the dictum of Premier King, is how, for a population of be- tween nine and tem millions of peo- ple, the cost of living can be de- creased; how this is going to be pos- sible, in the face of unliquidated war expenditures and our railway obli- gations, which press so onerously on the people of the Dominion. The only remedy that Mr. Meighen can see, or propose, is to increase the tariff; in other words, increase taxa- tion in various directions in order to help special interests. Of course the Conservative leader never could visualize any other course, so that there is nothing new or novel in his attitude. The same old nostrum, the same unchanging remedy, the same ancient and unalterable dogma. But Liberals say that the situation cannot be improved or remedied in this way. They afirm that the only way to meet the difficulty, is, first of all, by strict economy on the part of the government, and secondly, by the administration adopting policies which will increase production in the Quickest and most effective manner The government's program: is constructive in 'the Cyt" ot in- creased production, and if'given an opportunity to be worked out would 'materially in dealing with our problems. 0 1 well as markets in which to dispose of the commodities which are produced by the applica- With the return of weather | and capital are! | past.

NATURE LORE l When Jimmy and Roy found that the Kingfisher had played a joke on them, by stealing the dozen or more small minnows from the pool where they were kept for bait, it was a case of, "Well, we might as well follow the bird who stole our bait." When one starts to follow a King- fisher up a long, narrow, winding stream, one has his hands full, and Jimmy soon yelled back to Roy, who was a little down stream, "Say, what's the matter with that bird anyway?" and even as he called, Roy saw the Kingfisher circle back down 'stream and behind them again, with a loud {ll-mannered laugh, for that Ms a trick he has: he leads a fellow up stream and then laughs and doubles back; so the boys were more confused than ever. . All out of luck, the two lads start- ed to undress to have a swim in a quiet pool, when who should come around the end of the high bank but Westley Johnson, "Wess' for short? Wess, Jim and Roy had been in the same room at school, so the boys be- ban to compare notes on the day's doings. "Oh," says Wess, "you didn't know the Kingfisher, eh? Well, I'll tell you. See that sandy bank just half around that bend? Well, come on up there." So the three boys went up around the bend in the. stream and Wess pointed out a hole in the bank, about as big as a big northern spy apple and running away . back into the dark. Just as the place was well located, there were a few dashes here and there of one of the parent King- fishers, and Wess said it was the male, because it seemed so rattled with company present, "And any- way," said Wess, "you can tell by seeing the female, for she has some reddish brown on her sides under her wings, and reaching across her chest to form a breast band, but he doesn't seem to be so fancy." And even as they spoke, the fe- male arrived with a small fish, went right to the hole, went in and promptly came out, minus the min- now. . "Ah ha!" said Jimmy, "I don't need to be told where my fishing bait is; it's all inside those little King- fishers, inside that sandbank." That Body of Pours By James W, Barion, M.D. Tiredness. There is a great deal in the papers these dayg about how tired most peo- ple are all Se time, or how soon they seem to tire with very little effort. Now this matter of fatigue was all worked out many years ago when a European scientist discovered that by exercising a muscle by stimulat- ing it with an electric curren: at certain intervals, it gradually got to the point where it refused or was powerless to work any longer. The fatigue products were manufactired in such quantities that the circula- tion couldn't carry them away. If sufficient rest were given, the muscle would contract again, ths strength of the" contraction depending upon the amount $f rest given. But you say a lot of people who are "tired" all the time, or who seem to tire easily do no work of any kind. They just seem to #it around and eat and sleep. Why are they tired? Perhaps you are one of this kind yourself. Well you may be an office man, and sit-'at your desk most of the time, and yet you have a good appetite. What happens? In the case of fatigued muscles it is the poisons, that tire the muscles. In your case it is the polsons that accumulate in the intestine that tired feeling. By not moving around, your liver and in- testine are not active enough, and cannot handle the "excess" material taken into your system. tag, to that | | which is formerly held, we may ex- pect to see a large influx of people | into the Dominion, which will re- | Wallace Havelock Robb | --Hat Sale. ~--Neckwear Sale. --Underwear Sale --Hosiery Sale.

Upon July 7th, 1758, a large Brit- ish force, of some fifteen thousand men, under General Abercrombie, was moving upon the fortress of Ti- conderoga, situated on a rocky pro- montory between Lake Champlain and Lake George. There Montcalm and Levis (with a much smaller force) whom the English were deter- mined to drive back to Canada, were | busily preparing for resistance. At dawn on this day while Abercrombie was wearing his men with needless marches, the French officers includ- ed-had set to work with axes and felled thousands of trees to form an abatis along the ridge in front of the fortress. They worked all day with energy, till their wall of logs was so high that nothing could be seen above it but the crowns of the sol- diers' hats. In front, trees were hewn down with their tops turned outward, forming a horrible en- tanglement, which on the next day, when Abercrombie attempted to storm the stronghold by a frontal at- tack, led the British undoing. Again and again the English soldiers were driven up to this deadly bar- rier: and after fourvhours' fighting, in which two thousand men were killed or wounded, had to give way; though it is believed that Abercrom- bie could certainly have captured Ti- conderoga by other methods of at- tack. \ BROKE HIS LEG.
