VEITCH, Public Health Nurse Provincial Board of Health Much has heen written on the ver- satility of the Ford car, its many uses, economical upkeep, the ability of the man of ordinary means to run one and the ease with which this particular car is operated and repaired. But how many people realize the real HOME AND NATION building value of the Ford? . Many thousands of workers depend on their Fords to carry them to work. Many thousands of workers have solved the rent question by purchasing a car which enables them to live on the outskirts of the city where rents are considerably lower. The area of many cities has grown by leaps and bounds merely because the auto has come to stay and cam be bought now at a reasonable and within-the-reach-of-everybody figure. Many thousands of children and in- valids get out into God's open spaces and enjoy good health by reason of fresh air that they would never get if it were not for the automobile genius of to-day.

Dunning; bottom left, Lord Beaverbrenk, E. W. Bok, Prince and Princess Obolensky. he tide of steamship traffic is turning westward again, and the St. Law- rence route is still the favoured one. Beside large numbers of immigrants and returning Canadians, a great many European tourists are now turning toward Canada and these form no small percentage of steamship passengerlists. Perhaps the most distinguished list this season, was carried by the Canadian Pacific S.S. Empress of France on her last westward voyage. Among those on board was Lord Beaverbrook, who with several members of his family will spend some time in this country. He was also accompanied by T. Marson Till, 0.B.E., his secretary. Other prominent British passengers were Right Hon. Sir Evelyn Cecil, G.B.E.,,P.C.,, M.P., and Col. Vaughan Morgan, 0.B.E.,M.P., of London. E. W. Bok, the famous Philadelphia publisher of Peace Prize fame also made the voyage. Two passengers in whom much interest centered were Prince and Princess Serge Obolensky whose recent marriage in Paris was one of the big social events of the year. The Princess was formerly Miss Astor. The Hon, Charles A. Dunning, premier of Saskatchewan, was also on the France, Other prominent passengers included Mr. R. Bosch, the inventor of the Bosch Magneto, and Mrs. W. H. Taft, who was met at the dock by her husband, W. H. Taft of the U.S. Supreme Court and ex-President of the United States. : : E. W. Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, returned on the Fimpress of France {rom a short visit to the Company's agencies in England and Scandinavia. He was much impressed by the great possibilities of a furtherance of trade between these countries and Canada. Asked whether he had seen the Canadian papers while abroad, and had noted the storm of comment and protest that had followed upon the putting into effect of the Crow's Nest Pass rates, Mr. Beatty replied that he had seen a good deal of this, and it was nothing more than had been expected by himself and other railway officers. : "At the time the proposed restoration of the Crow's Nest rates was under discussion," he said "it was made abundantly evident by the railroads thac they could not afiord in the face of existing costs of operation for labor, materials, equipment, etc., to extend the operation of the Crow's Nest rates beyond the limits orginally fixed. It was also fully explained that if restora- tion was forced upon the railways many inconsistencies would inevitably re- sult, and some parts of the country would be unduly favored in comparison with others." "One of the grave difficulties of the day in railway operation in Canada is that theorists in railroad management are preaching a doctrine that gives no thought to the cost of operation in relation to the price the railroad is permitted to get for the serviee it gives as a common carrier. In most other lines of business, cost to the consumer is based on the cost of production. I cannot see why it should be different in the gelling of ireight or passenger transportation. Somebody has got to pay wages and other operating costs, and if the shipper is not willing to do so, I do not know who will, unless the country will pay it as a whole and I imagine that even the strongest sup- porters of public ownership will agree that we have reached the limit in that direction. "It is axiomatic, too, that the continuous betterments and improve- ments to existing railway lines and the provision of capital for extensions and new constructions generally depends directly upon the earning power of the companies, especially in the case of the Canadian Pacific, whose funds must be secured in the money markets of the world and it would be in every respect unwise to borrow unless the general earnings of the company were satisfactory. One of the difficulties facing the railway companies in Canada is that there is not a sufficient margin between revenues and outlays to permit of surpluses for working eapital and for the general purposes of the companies. Until this margin is re-established extensive borrowings are highly un- desirable. Nothing is more conducive to satisfactory commercial conditions than a healthy transportation situation and this can only be accomplished if a proper relation exists between revenues and disbursements. "I should like to point out," said Mr. Beatty, 'that the Interstate Com- merce Commission in the matter of rates and charges on grain and grain roducts in the western United States very recently decided that the general asis of rates then in effect did not appear to be unreasonable and dismissed the application for reduction. Here it should be remembered that rates on grain and grain products now in effect in western Canada are not less than 25 per cent. lower than those in the United States. The Inter-state Com- merce Commission is comprised of highly qualified economists who approach the technical and allied questions of railway rates and costs in a thoroughly scientific manner. On the other hand, the rate situation in Canada which has been the subject of so much comment recently has been brought about by the restoration by act of Parliament of a scale of rates fixed nearly thirty years ago without regard at all to present day costs of the inevitable disruption of the relationship which otherwise existed between various commodities and various producing centres." : Mr. Beatty added that figures had been filed with the Government showing the approximate decreases in revenue to both the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific railways by the adoption of the Crow's Nest rates on grain. These, he said, reflected a very serious loss of earning powers to the [] [JE] [] a Prohibition in 1000 B.C. It seems that the consumption of wine reached a very high point about a t housand years before the Christian era. It was about this time that Lycurgus, King of Thrace, set himself to check the tide of drinking. He did not rely on half measures, but passed a Prohibition Act at once. A strict teetotaller himself, he forbade the use of wine to his subjects and rooted up all the vines within his dominion--so that prohibition is by no means a hew idea. How long it lasted in this case history does not tell us, but the end was that his subjects mutinied and put Lycurgus to death, alleging that he had drawn down upon his country the anger of the gods by insulting Bacchus and driving him ignominously away. Health 1alks By Dr J. J. MIDDLETON Dr Middleton will be glad to answer all questions on public health matters through this column. Address him at Spadina House, Spadina Crescent, Toronto, Ontario. Milk is not the sole salvation of the under-weight child. It is popularly supposed that milk and eggs are the chief hope of the undernourished, but a recent investigation of various foods administered as a mid-morning lunch to several grougs of under-weight children demonstrated conclusively that there are other nourishing foods as well as milk. The experiment was conducted under the supervision of Margaret S. Chancy, M.A., in Berkley, Cal. The tests were made through two test periods of eight weeks each, one during the autumn months and one during the spring. Of the groups of children compared, one group was given milk and two graham crackers as a mid-morning lunch; another group was given one glass of bottled orange- ade. The surprising result was that the orange group showed the greatest gain in weight, the orangeade group under-nourished child frequently has an indifferent appetite, and the milk produces a stiating effect, so that he does not care for his regular noon meal when it comes. The orange, on the other hand, while it has some food value, is tonic and appetizing in its effect so that the indifferent appetite is stimulated rather than satisfied, and the child eats more heartily at regular meal times. Oranges contain nature's beneficial natural acid, which strangely enough, is alkaline in its effect. Never sweeten oranges very much, as the sugar tends to ferment in weak stomachs, and the individual then blames the orange for the acid conditions thereby produced. Orange juice in its fresh, natural state is easily digested even by very young babies and nothing surpasses it as a child tonic and laxative for old and young, strong or feeble personms.

Other announcements of the new Premier were that the Government proposed to appoint a royal commis- sion to enquire into the Melbourne po- lice strike of last Autumn and also a commission to look into the question of the settlement of soldiers in the State. The Victoria Government, the Pre- mier also announced, had agreed to allow the Australian Federal Govern- ment to raise all the loans required by the State. MONTREAL GRAIN MOVES sess Montreal, Aug. 27--"The grain sit- uation is relieving itself," said a pro- ; minent port official this morning in connection with the grain congestion in the port of Montreal. "I received advices today that six tramp boats have been chartered in New York for early September loading here, There are five days left in this month," he continued, "and by the time they have passed we should have loaded out ap- proximately 3,000,000 bushels." The official predicted that the situation would be back to normal in two or three weeks and pointed out that since Monday the number of grain boats waiting to unload had decreased in " " 39 » \s PHONE 6 Go to KELSO'S for FRESH KILLED VEAL - BEEF PORK LAMB HAMBURGER STEAK GROUND FRESH EACH DAY.
