Address him at Spadina House, Spadina Crescent, Toronto, Ontario. : Don't take too much of one kind of food. It may not contain enough of all the elements that go to maintain bodily health and vigor. No matter how nourishing a food is supposed to be, ill-health and disease may result if too much of that partic- tular kind of food is taken without sufficient 'balance' in the diet. Scots- men the world over have been proverb- ially fond of porridge, no doubt it has proved a sustaining food if eaten with other substance that contain health- giving properties, but if a child is brought up on porridge, almost ex- culsively there is great danger of the development of. rickets or softening of the bones and muscles, a condition from which thousands of children ir this country suffer. Professor R. Mellanby, of St. Thomas' Hospital, : London, thinks that porridge is a very bad cereal from a mutritional stand- point, and especially if taken as the main diet. He. says it contains somc substances which interfere with the desposition of bone-hardening carbon and phosphorus in the body, and un- less accompanied by the accessory food factors or vitamines, had provec disastrous when taken consistently, to the animals to which it had been administered. Any food that is boiled or cooked to any extent has this deficiency in vita- mines. It is not porridge alone that lacks these essentials, but porridge has come to be regarded as a very com- plete food in itself. In fact, one often hears the saying that people in certain localities in Scotland were brought up on porridge and the Shorter Catechism. Be that as it may, and I for one would never want to minimize the fighting qualities of the Scot or his inherent manliness, still the fact remains that porridge taken in access and without a sufficient amount of other vitamine- containing food, is a poor diet. The experiments that proved the lack of proper food content in oatmeal was done on animals, but Professor Mellan- by said he thought the eerepl would have the same effect on human beings as on lower animals. He saw no rea- | son why it should not. He adds, how- ever, that in the large majority of cases, people who ate porridge took with it the cream and other accessories which contained the vitamines neces- sary to overcome the deficiency in the oatmeal, He made the additional ob- servation that it was the children of the poor who could afford only the porridge and not the trimings that were often affected by rickets. Don't harbor the idea that oatmeal contains anything harmful. It is the lack of something necessary in it that makes the cereal dangerous as a regular food. When accompanied by the proper vita- mine - containing accessories, porridge is still considered a splendid foed, One of the most important and most re- markable of the vitamine - containing substances is cod-liver oil. Fresh milk also contains the precious vita- mine and even a teaspoonful taken at a meal makes all dthe difference be- tween a non-sustaining diet and one that contains the necessary elements required to maintain a normal condi tion of health and vitality. fachin & Popham ~ Barristers, Solicitors, etc H.

"I spent two weeks recently in On- .ario," said the Moderator, "There is a good deal of excitement there over the! Union question. Both sides have their surprises and disappointments." "Will not the real strength of the: Presbyterian non-concurrents be in Ontario?" he was asked. "Yes, it will be practically an Ontario church," he replied. ' Dr. McKinnon referred to the tiny proportion of preaching stations in the western provinces that had voted out: As Alberta, Saskatchewan: and British Columbia comprise an area aqual to that of Britain, France, Spain: of Union. Germany, Italy, Portugal and Greece, it is difficult to see how these few con-; gregations scattered over so great an area could function as a Presbyterian; church. The cost of travel alone would make meetings of Presbytery im- practicable, : The situation in Nova Scotia, he said is strikingly similar. If one church in Halifax, for instance, were to vote out, it would have to be put under the, Pictou Presbytery, and it would be' hard for the Presbyterian system to, Many of the preaching places would go in auto- work out at such a distance. matically, without a vote at all. _ "The Church Union movement is un- doubtedly one of the most remarkable religious phenomena of the present age," he said.

"In view of this it is a great tribute to the practical judg- i ! ment of the Canadian people that nine-* tenths of the three denominations con- cerned are entering into union, un. deterred by these fears and convinced *® that union is in the best interest of Canada and the Kingdom of God."
