LRN TIPE al To-day there are children in King- going 'hungry when there is ty. This week a teacher noticed 8 little fellow was late for after- 'fon class. She noticed too that he looked underfed. She asked him Why he was late, and his pathetic re- ply was that they had nothing to eat it homie. All he had to eat that day was a little plece of a vegetable--a who needed 'nourishing food. father was In the country look- for work, and the mother had ifour children to care for. The Her first sent out for food and went home with the little fel- low. She found that conditions were just as he had recounted in his child- 8k way. The mother would not beg, but was willing to accept help quiet ly given. Needless to say the family will not go hungry again. Conditions in Kingston are not anything as hard as:they were five nters ago, but the relief organize - many families; éven in the «d0 city of Kingston. .The reds why danced merrily in the "hall on Wednésday night probe did not realize that the money paid for that privilege was to into the Kiwanis rellef fund to those in dire need.

In one year's time she produced 11, 559.9 pounds of milk containing 702.1 pounds of butter. The total value of her production was $509.04, or $426.87 over the costs of her feed during the twelve months. Here is food for thought to East- ern Ontario dairymen, , 'OSHAWA'S INDEBTEDNESS. The Oshawa Reformer states that the debenture debt of the city of Oshawa totals $3,383,433, or $211 per capita. The interest on that debt is doubtless at least five per cent. In other words, the averhage citizen of Oshawa is paying over ten dollars a year in interest on civic debt alone. That works out at upwards of $40 per family. The per capita muniel- pal levy for interest on indebtedness in Oshawa to-day is more than the per capita levy for all municipal and school taxes eighteen years ago. ---------- A NEGLECTED GOLDEN AGE. This ought to be a golden age of health and long life. Scientific knowledge of hygiene, medicine, sur- | 8ery and other means of preventing and curing disease is available to al- most everyone. Public health activi- (ties, the literature of health and the work &f the best doctors all combine to offer to human beings added years of life and greater enjoyment. And what do human beings do about it? enquires the Oswego, N.Y., Palladium-Times. Nothing, say some physicians, Americans eat too fast; they eat unwisely; they eat under wrong conditions; they deny them- selves the leisure necessary to proper digestion and assimilation of their food. They dig themselves early graves with their teeth. But the doctors should not be too hopeless. Their efforts have already been fruitful in prolonging life in in- fancy. The increase of life span noted and rejoiced over fréquently in the past year represents chiefly a gain in healthy Babyhood Americans may learn, in time, to take as good care of adult diets as of children's. And maybe those healthy infants will grow up -to better hygienic habits than their parents have had, and will increase the life span at the present neglected end--the "dangerous forties' and after. These conditions apply to Cana- dians particularly in our large cen- tres. 4 ; ab. er prerin, oiin. WELL PUT! » The Picton Times put the matter of the bid of the Conservative party in parliament in this fashion: "The Conservative leader, through Hugh | Guthrie, virtually offered to discard the policy of Sir John A. Macdonald 'and allow the Progressives to dictate a policy for the Conservative party. There is a very wide difference be- tween the government's action and the Conservative leader's proposal to barter that party's principles for a mess of pottage. It is quite the cbre rect thing for a leader to endeavor to conyince others of the wisdom of his course, but to right about face mere- ly to obtain the loaves and the fishes is doubtful statesmanship." : GET ENOUGH SLEEP. Dr. Richard C. Cabot the well- known physician says in an article on health in the American Magazine: "To avoid over-eating and alcohol and the cigarette habit are matters of self-control. To get the sleep one needs (which means all that one can possibly soak into one's system with- in twenty-four hours) = often takes courage--the courage to refuse in- vitations to invite ridicule, to seem odd or 'Puritanic.' I believe that more minor {llnesses are due to lack of sleep than to any other recognis- able Jantar. a persch catches cold, gets lumbago, is constipated or head- ache-ridden because below par, his beyond his pl would set him sq but to get sleep even $0 he runs in debt and is chronically edging toward a breakdown."

It is unaffected by the ability of foreigners to buy. It does not produce to export. Given condi tions for economical production, there is an un'imited market for ita produce within our shores. It is un- like mining, engineering, ship-bufld- ing and the cotton and wool trade in that the conditions 'for its pros- perity can be completely controlled at home; so that if we fail to make a success of agriculture we have no- body but ourselves to blame. Japan And The U.S.A, Provincial Journal: nothing save the immigration ques- tion has arisen to trouble the statesmen of the two countries. And this issue, while still referred to with some show of feeling in Japan, is regarded as settled In the United States and doubtless will be so ¢on- strued by the Japanese when a suf- fictently large outlet for their sur- plus population has been blished in the Orfent in accordance with the maturing plans of the Imperial Government. Not only is there no other question that even remotely threatens the peaceful relations that have existed between the two nations for three-quarters of a ¢en- tury, but, on the contrary, various things are happefiing to draw them closer together than ever befors.

The'speaker also pointed out that now Canada spends in one year an amount equal to the total of what her national debt was twenty-etght years ago. He does not wholly agree that the problems of taxation and debt would be solved by the immi- gration of two or three million more people because, as he said, these new settlers would cost a good deal in municipal services that their com- 'ng would make necessary. A Canadian receiving one thous. and dollars less in 'salary than a man in the United States, pays the Same Income tax as the latter, ac- cording to Dr. Brittain. = Surely, it Canada were to sée to it that she receives full value for every dollar spent by her various governments, federal, provincial and municipal, this disparity could be made to dis- appear, It is not scrimping and scraping) parsimony that constitutes true econ- omy but getting one hundred cents of value for every dollar of expen- diture.
