MIDDLETON % XK ® EK The eHalth Almanac for 1924 is now ready, and a copy or number of copies can be had for the asking. This pub- lication serves a useful purpose. It contains information on a variety of subjects and tries ever to keep in the foreground the idea of good health and the prevention of disease. It touches all phases of public health work and therefore proves all the more "interesting and instructive to a large number of people in various walks of life. The calendar itself is an odd but attractive arrangement of historical and important events interspersed with health mottos and notes on disease ; prevention. There are talks on goitre, periodic health = examinations, the Schick Test for diphtheria ventilation, longevity, the value of cooking, cancer, the production of clean milk, insulin, the need for health education, and a host of other topics, all of which are interesting from the good health point of view. It gives information about war taxes, rates of postage, eclipses o fthe sun and moon, festivals anni- versaries, ete., during 1924, and the value of foreign coins in Canadian currency for customs purposes. There is also a table of weights and measures and at the back of the book is a series of health pictures for children which are so arranged that they can be cut out for the scrap-book. A heavy demand is being 'made throughout the country for these al- manacs which are being sent out at a vate of HOC to 600 copies per day. Women's Institutes, Mothers' Clubs, 1 Societies of nds have all ex- pressed their approval of this publi- | 'cation and zre asking for additional | copies for distribution to their friends and acquaintances. The purpose of the Almanac is ex- | plained in the foreword as follows:-- "What is the world to a man when his wife is a widow? This is an old inquiry, but like many an adage, it has a perpetugl ring of truth and thought- | We all. fulness connected with it. want to be alive and well." Health is a question that interests all of us. Without health, life means little. Wealth influence worldy pos- sessions rightly used for the benefit of mankind are powerful adjuncts to hap- piness if the possessor also has good health. Without the latter, wealth and power are meaningless terms, metre sounding and tinkling cymbals. This little almanac is prepared for one purpose, and one purpose only-- to afford advice, which if wisely. used will aid in keeping you well. It con- tains health hints on many subjects.

Wars make nothing safe for democ- racy. I have but one idol, Truth, and 1e will not attempt to smash that. {e tells us that Lenine was exiled to siberia, escaped, engaged in revolu- onary propaganda, and made Russia 2 shambles. The truest patriots, the best unselfish intellectuals in Russie were sont to Siberia. The track across ihe Sil erian wilderness is strewn with he whitened bones of some of the best and noblest of men and women tha. ever dared to rais their voice against oppression and wrong. They fell by the way and the Siberian wilf has left their skeletons a silent testimony tc heaven against Czardom. Russia wa 1a shambles long before Lenine saw the light, the Romanofs and the grand dukes have drenched Russian soil with the blood of her truest patriots and the slaughter was continued by the mer cenary Koltchak, backed by the Bri- tish government, Lloyd George and Col. John Ward, erstwhile navvy and labor M.P. Those who would enlarge on Lenine's shortcomings, and he had many, would do well to study Russian history. Turning to the situation in England 1 find a grossly unfair criticism of Ramsay MaeDonald and the Labor Government. The premier is said to have droppel the capital levy and the nationalization of industry; being a man of sound common sense, he will not attempt what, under present cori- ditions is absurdly impossible. He hag 'but 192 Labor men at his back and over 400 of other parties against him. The Liberals will vote with him on i small measures of reform, but when it 'comes to the much needed revolution- ary legislation touching land and vest- "ed interest, Liberals and Conservatives will vote solid against him. Let the 'British proletariat reverse the figures *and give Labor 400 votes in a House of Commons of 600, if then England is not made fit for ordinary men and 'women, and incidentally heros, to live in; it will then be time to take the leaders to task for going hocks on their word. : Yours faithfully, GEORGE FIDDYMENT Kenora Ontario, and Kingston on the Thames, England Land Plaster Timothy Seed : Red Clover ¥ kk Xk xX Xk ¥% We are now taking orders for Land Plaster, car to arrive about March 15.

Hon. Manning Doherty's want of confidence amendment was lost on the same divi- sion The United Farmers of Ontario party today attempted to monopolize the floor with bitter arguments as to why they and not the Liberals should be officially recognized as the Oppo- sition. R. H. Kemp, (Lincoln), went even so far as to suggest that "if it had not keen for the present faulty gystem of ballotinig there would have been more farmers in the House." J. W. Widdifield said forty-six farmers in the Legislature. He said the Farmer group in the House was not self-concious, but citizen-concious and declared that the Premier in not recognizing the U.F.O. as the chief Opposition had contraven- ed the statute. Jas. McCausland, Conservative, in an attack on the Ontario Temperance Act said: "I am no friend of the OC. T.A. and I have been put in front as its opponent.
