Capital Punishment, with headquar- ters in New York, has planned a na- tional conference for October next. There ape many who will sympathize with thi® movement, although public judgment is very much divided. There are eight states which have | abolished the death penalty--Michi- | gan, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Kansas, Maine and Minnesota. There were four others which had legislated in that direction, but recanted---Oregon, | Washington, Arizona and Missouri. | The Secretary of the League says this was due to "war hysteria." ! From time to time this matter has been brought up in our own Parhla-| ment, with negative results. The question will always be debatable. | NG The right to take human life for any reason will be strenuously disputed | by many; yet the course of events shows that the judgment of a ma- jortty is on the side of maintaining the extreme penalty for certain crimes. Whether or not it serves as | a check on those who are disposed to | kill will, like the fundamental issue, | be a matter for dispute. The diffi-}| culty is in bringing positive proofs! to bear on either side of the argu We are not, however, likely | to make a change in Canada. | SEEKING A WAY OUT. . | If internal pressure can do it, the United States - will soon be beside The League for the Abolition of) | abolish war. the United States on the side of en | organized International effort to) It also gives positive assurance of the pressure whlch that strong body of peace advocates will constantly bring to bear on the -ex- ecutive at Washington. There is fine promise in all that. What ex- traneous influence could not do, the force -of domestic judgment may yet accomplish. The triumph of the cause of peace rises infinitely above | the means by which it may be brought about. LIVE STOCK RESOURCES. While contemplating our fine har- vest prospects, we should not over- look the importance of live stock and poultry in their relation to the industry of agriculture as a whole. They have grown to large propor- tions. The facts in that regard are | brought to mind on reading an offic- | fal report just issued by the Domin- iom Bureau of Statistics. It is learn- ed therefrom that at the end of 1924 the numbers of live stock and poul- try in Canada were as follows: Milch cows ...... Other cattle ...... Sheep wevseervece Swine ceesecaaa Poultry .. 3,726,985 5,733,851 2,684,743 5,069,181 47,638,130 As compared with 1920, there | were increases in milch cows, swine | and poultry. The growth was larg-| est in the last named, and amounted | troops in defence of the River Can- | ard 'Bridges where first blood was | shed during the War of 1812-14-- | | | July 24th, 1812." Some days earlier, | however, General Hull, who in an- ticipation of the Declaration of War, | bad been moving his troops towards | the frontiers of Canada, had cross- ed the Detroit River; and taken pos- session of Sandwich. But the Brit- ish at Fort Malcolm had received the news two days before he did, and had quietly made a prize of an Am- erican packet of 'Cuyahoga,' cap- turing the crew, soldiers and pas- sengers' ofi--board as prisoners of war. One of these kept a journal, | which has been lately published, with notes, and according to the| latter, the six Americans, under Major Denny, slain in the fight which took place with a body of In- dians at the Canard Bridge, were the first to fall in the struggle, though there had been several previous skir- That Body of Pours By James W, Barton, M.D. Deserving A Medal.

"The War Ten Years Ago" makes 8n interesting 'column in any news- _ paper. Why not "The Peace a Year Ago?" The e that reduces the Waistline most quickly consists in Placing ds on the table and -- peace groups presented a plan to President Coolidge for the entry of that country into the proposed new World Court. The essential features of that plan are contained in the following two clauses and sub- clauses of the proposal: "The immediate adherence of the United States to the Court Protocol, with the Harding- Hughes-Coolidge reservations. "Within two years after the ad- herence by the United States to the Court Protocol, the signatories thereto, including the United States Government, shall formally declare by apfeepriate Govern- mental"action their endorsement of the following basic principles of the outlawry of war, and shall call an international conference of all civilized nations for the purpose of making a general treaty em- "bodying these principles: "(a) War between nations shall be outlawed as an institution for the settlement of.international controversies by making it a crime under the law of nations. (The question of self-defence against attack or invasion is not involved or affected.) "(b) A code of international law of peace, based upon the out- lawing of war and upon equality and justice between all nations, great and small, shall be formulat- ed and adopted. "(c) When war is outlawed the Permanent Court of International Justice shall be granted afirma- tive jurisdiction over international controversies between sovereign nations, as provided for and de- fined in the code and arising under treaties." The purpose of these peace advo- cates in making the foregoing pro- posals will be obvious to any one who has followed the course of events across the border. The Per- manent Court of International Jus- tice is not fundamentally different from the League of Nations. I there, is any difference at all it is more in the label than in purpose. But the United States, for reasons having more to do with domestic policies than anything else, declined to enter the League of Nations. In so doing, that country committed 'herself as being opposed to certain articles in the constitution of the League; and, while those reasons were neither strong 'nor unanswerable, national pride now stands in the way of a recantation. In other words, the heads of the peace groups. who have now ap- proached President Coolidge are seeking a way to make it easy for the United States to do her duty in respect of world peace. We must all see, however, that what may thus become easy for the United States may be difficult for the members of the League of Nations. There could not very well be both a League and a Court. Their functions would be identical. Their machinery might not be quite the same; but they would both exist for the purpose of making war impossible. To "out. law" war may-be a new term, and to that extent it may enable the United States to avold the stultification which entry into the League of Na- 'tions would Involve; yet there is little real difference between dealing with war in that way than In the way (adopted by the League. The main difficulty to be got out of the way is that the Beague of Nations has been e and is tunction- lure to the lower demand for beet fol- | lowing the.,war. The increase in| | swine, from 3,516,587 to 5,069,181, | is attributable to a better market abroad for pork and pork products. | It is, however, by looking at some | | of the collateral aspects of our live | | stock possessions that we get a glimpse of what they mean in the | trade of the country. In 1923 we produced 162,834,608 pounds of | | creamery butter, having a value of | [$56,873,510. Factory cheese in that | | year amounted to 151,624,376] | pounds, valued at $28,645,192. The | butter and cheese industry is grow- | ing. The prairie provinces have | | taken up dairying, and thus far have | | found it a valuable adjunct to grain | growing. « | | We get a further grasp of the | trade situation when we find that for | [ the figedl year 1924 our exports of | live"cattle had a value of $10,852,-| 558. At the same time we shipped | abroad 108,865,800 pounds of pork, valued at $19,492,258. Beef had a total of 20,677,400 pounds. Our bacon and hams are commanding the market in Great Britain, and it is conceded that we have during the past twenty years improved their Quality. That is vital to further de- velopment. The domestic market is, of course, of greater value to the raisers of live stock than is the foreign. The cities | and towns of the Dominion are large | consumers of meats, dairy products | and eggs. They also require an enormous supply of milk. Our farm- ers probably realize what this mar- ket at their door means; and yet there would appear to be times when they overlook it. Be that as it may, the fact of interdependence betweén town and country is probably better than formerly; and out of that un-y derstanding 'should come hearty and cheerful co-operation in all that makes for the common good. _ THE FIGHT AGAINST DISEASE. The press announcement that a process has been found at the Johns Hopkins Research Laboratory for the concentration of insulin, and the elimination from it of certain im- purities, will be received as good news by the medical fraternity as well as by sufferers from diabetes. It will also bring to mind the fact that this specific was discovered by a 'young Canadian, Dr. Banting, to dread ailment. I would like to suggest that every cured patient that stays cured, should be awarded an extra bar to show that he is continuing his fight successfully. Anyone who has watched the pa- tient struggle of these unfortunates, will admit that it takes all the will- power, determination, to affect the cure. weak and tired to fail to observe all the little rules that enter into the fight. The exact tinfé for rest, for food, for light exercise, for tempey- ature taking, for fresh air, all de- mand constant -watchfulness and painstaking effort. And what is thus created? Simply real sensible everyday habits of life. These habits once well estab- lished, become a veritable guide to the patient not only during his stay in the sanatorium, but for the rest of his life. A recent writer has well said "3y forming good habits one places him- self in the hands of an automatic po- liceman, who unconsicously deter- mines his course of life." And so your tubercular patient not only has this automatic police- man to guide him, but the habits he learned at the sanatorium are so much a paft of his life, that he Spreads the good news about his home, and about his neighborhood, so that all unconsciously are bene- fited. Now your body is very much like a machine and {it needs care and attention at regular times. It is easy to establish proper habits of daily life insofar as rest, sleep, eat- ing, and so forth are concerned, and it is likewise easy to establish irre- gular habits. The whole matter is with your wit. You will to obey the police- man or to defy him. Chauncey De- pew, now past ninety, tells us that he enjoys life so much because he "wills to observe the common sense rules of diet and health." Eating what his policeman tells him has always been good for him or agreed with him, getting the rest the police- man says is necessary, and occupying his mind likewise as his policeman --good habits--have taught him. We shouldn't have to go to a san- atorium to learn how to take care of ourselves. NATURE LORE Wallce Havelock Robb 4 whom Parliament at its last granted a life pension of $5,000 per andum. It is always gratifying to know that medicine is trying bravely to keep step with survey, although obviously handicapped. The discovery of the cancer germ by Dr. W. BE. Gye, an English sur- geon, and Mr. J, B. Barnard, an Eng- lish microscopist, working together, is a most welcome triumph. No dis- ease has been more baffling. Yet a recent dispatch utters a warning by British medical writers against the encouragement of amy more than hope at this stage. They point out, with undeniable force, that twenty years ago the tuberculosis germ was isolated, yet up to this moment a cure for that scourge has not been found. For the sake of suffering human ®e should all pray that the finding of the cancer germ may be followed by the even more important discovery of an effective serum. \ "Go and get the Bird-man, girls, quick!" yelled one of the campfire girls, at a summer camp where I had been asked to do some nature work. Naturally, there was some excitement. This 'girl claimed she had been up to the well to get a drink and that half a dozen wild turkeys were spreading their tails and were "just as tame as any- thing," what ever that may happen to mean. What they could be was beyond me; I just ran with the oth- ers and prepared for the worst. ~ When we arrived at a point not far from the well (which was really a faountain stream with a barrel in it for collecting the water), we saw the supposed wild turkeys. They were partridge, known also as Birch Partridge and Ruffed Grouse. The partridge with feathers on, looks about the same size as a turkey dressed and on the table.

THE e PRINCE OF WALLS Sterling Quality man disappeared, and after being away for two hours, I went in search of him, my gun under my arm. I had not gone far when I heard a low clucking, sifnilar in some measure to that of a hen. I looked, and there, under the low spruce boughs, strutted a partridge, his tail spread and his soft neck ruff showing in great style, against the mottled brown of the rest of him. I had no notion of shooting, and it is a good thing I did not, for my nervous friend was taking the nerve cure, within three: feet of the bird. 'That barred tail is curing me," A Reunion Took Place.
