In order to make sure of having such a bal- anced diet, it is necessary that we use a wide variety of foods. The most common error in se- lecting a diet is in not using a sufficient quantity or yariety of vegetables and fruits. Green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits should be used daily. They are rich in vitamins which are _re- quired for the regulation of the body processes, and they also supply, in large measure, the minerals which the body requires.

They are necessary for the proper nutrition of all the tissues and for the building up of strong bones and teeth. Calcium is the. mineral used most extensively by the body; it is the chief constituent of bones and teeth. It is present in abun- dance in cabbage, lettuce, water- cress, Brussels sprouts and on- ions. Sodium is abundant in apples, strawberries and spinach. A good supply of iron is found in spinach, lettuce and strawberries. Minerals are present in vary- ing amounts in a wide variety of foods, but, as we have shown, an adequate supply of minerals is secured by those who include fruits and vegetables in their djet each day. The mineral present in fruits and vegetables are in what is called the organic form, which is the form best suited for their in- gestion into the body for its use. The best way to obtain the min- erals we need is through the pro- per selection of foods, not by the use of drugs. It is not to be denied that many persons apparenty thrive on diets to which they give no attention. In many such cases, however, a wide variety of food is used, and so a balanced diet is secured. The point is, however, that most indi- viduals would enjoy a_ greater measure of health if they were to give some thought to what they eat. It is got suggested that we be- come food faddists, but ~ simply that it is worth while to use milk, green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits daily. Such a diet will not cure all the ills of mankind, but it will result in better health for more people and will, at the same time, increase rather than dimin- ish the pleasure of the meals.

President Calls on United Canada to Rally to Help of Courageous and Loyal Pioneers -- Such Action Just and Wise and estern conditions and what should be done about them formed the subject of a notable _ speech made by E. W. Beatty, chair- 1 man and presi- dent of the Canadian Paci- fic Railway at London, Ont., last week. In direct and sim- ple style Mr. Beatty briefly analysed the western situa- tion and put forward a se- ries of sugges- tions for im- mediate and effective action designed to carry western farmers over the present period of adverse conditions. He stated that his suggestions were those of a private citizen made with- out the knowledge of any govern- ment authority in this country. He put them forward as the representa- tive of acorporation which extended throughout all parts of Canada and was vitally concerned in the econ- omic situation in any section there- of. There was in this important utterance no suggestion of anything in the nature of intended charity towards the West. The whole pro- ject, he said, should be directed 'by warm sympathy for a community of courageous pioneers threatened with distress and by a desire to provide just assistance when it is badly needed. There should be full appreciation of the fact that the prosperity of East and West, of farmer and city are inextricably linked together. He believed that the country as a whole would come to the assistance of a great section suffering from a temporary but severe depression from causes be- yond its control, not only because it is just to do so, but as a wise measure of national policy. Mr. Beatty said in part: "Western Canada is suffering from the effects of unusual world conditions in the marketing of grain and in its low price, and hardship is being experienced on the prairies in consequence. I do not need to elaborate on the cour- age and the resourcefulness of the people of Western Canada, nor the confidence many of them feel in their ability to come through this depression as they have others. I do not require to do more than mention what we in the East owe to that part of the country, both in a material way and in the national Svength contributed by the loyal In Interest of Entire Country. people of that part of Canada. Neither do I need to stress the im- portance of a knowledge of the con- ditions prevailing in those sections and of the necessity of co-operation in meeting unusual situations in the interest of the whole country. The former Government of Canada and the present Government have, at different times, adopted policies designed to strengthen the econ- omic position of different sections of this Dominion. Through such policies, the position of our Mari- times has been improved, and through more recent changes in fiscal policies the position of the manufacturers of Canada is intend- ed to be improved and the unem- ployment situation is likewise de- signed to be, in part, at least, alle- yviated by"direct contribution by the Federal authorities to public works. If these policies be plained to ac- complish betterment in certain parts and activities in Canada, then the same attitude may properly be adopted in relation to the peculiar problems of our western provinces. None of these suggestions which I propose have any relation to the question of marketing wheat, price fixation or otherwise, since these problems depend so much on world conditions. I am directing my ob- servations to the problem of meet- ing emergent conditions of great hardship which may arise during the next four or five months. "Obviously, our Western pro- ducers should not fear the loss of their equity in their homesteads in view of the frank unwillingness of mortgage companies and other holders of liens to press for im- mediate liquidation of maturing obligations or for arrears of inter- est beyond the ability of the farmer to meet his payments, so far, at least, as this is due to the present depression in the wheat market. Two problems, however, do remain: the fear of want during the coming winter--confined largely to the smaller and financially weaker farmers--and the fear of inability to finance another year's farm op- erations. "To me, an unprejudiced and un- official, but not disinterested, ob- server, it seems indisputable the Dominion Government should not hesitate to intervene with an offer of assistance, as a national public duty. The governments of the three prairie provinces, owing to their in- timate knowledge of local condi- tions, are best adapted to provide relief, but owing to their pledging of their credit as security for bank loans to the Wheat Pool, they may need Federal assistance in the mat- ter. If the Dominion Government were to agree to assume a portion of the obligations regarding the 1929 crop, and the provinces were to use this release of their credit to permit them to assume the full burden of relief to their citizens, the aid of the Dominion Government would be given in a useful direc- tion, and the operation of relief measures by those best equipped for the task would be assured. These obligations should be assum- ed by the Dominion Government only to an amount equivalent to actual relief expenditures by the Provinces in aid of farmers. Since it is inevitable that. some critics will assert that this is specific aid to members of the Wheat Pool, it may be well to point out that the reverse is the case. The guarantee of the Pool loans by the Provinces might be so regarded, although even in that case the Provinces were unquestionably moved by a desire to save a collapse of the wheat market that would hurt Pool and non-Pool farmers alike. The suggestion that the Dominion Goy- ernment now assume those guaran- tees is made solely to enable the Provinces to direct their best efforts to the relief of all their farmers, Pool members or not. "T would suggest, too, that as a further aid to the restoration of confidence and as an evidence of complete faith by important busi- ness interests in the future of agri- culture in the West, an agriculture credit corporation should be formed to provide livestock for farmers who wish to diversify their opera- tions. The Company should be a private corporation, organized in somewhat the same form as that organized in the United States, with the support of the banks, Mortgage Trust and Loan Companies, insur- ance companies and the railways, and, if thought advisable, perhaps of the Federal Government itself. The moneys should be repayable on easy terms, the risk would be small, and the administration costs would be reduced to a minimum through the voluntary nature of the under- taking. I would suggest that five million dollars be raised in this manner and that the project should at all times be treated as one of sound investment. This method of aid would be specially valuable, since many Western farmers would find their domestic economic problems greatly simplified by the addition of livestock to their farms, and since every head of livestock placed on a western farm aids in the marketing of surplus grain."
