The Canadian Legion Vimy pilgrimage constitutes the largest single exodus to Europe since the war, years ago. France is spend- ing upwards of $130,000 on an entertainment program for the representatives of her wart time Allies, all of whom were invited to spend five days in France at the expense of the government of that country. The ceremony will be broadcast by radio in Can- ada and sound pictures will also be taken for showing later thro- ughout the Dominion. From Ot- tawa, Prime Minister Mackenzie King. C.M.G,, will radio a brief message as part of the Vimy ceremony, at which also Presi- dent Lebrun of France will speak. Many other Canadians are travel- ling abroad this year, since pass- ports to the number of 4,000 were | issued in May and over 5, in June, the largest number inciden- tally in any month for the past five years. The United States loss on wheat due to terrible drought conditions there has been esti- mated as high as a billion dollars. The American government has appropriated $1,500,000 for imme- diate relief in 12 arid states and an additional $3,000,000 for long term relief measures. Blistering heat in the West, and also in Ontario, has wrought great dam- age to the Canadian crops. Tt is still too early yet for any official estimate as to the size or quality of the crop to be harvested. Directors of the Western Stock Growers' Association have asked the federal government to set up a $5,000,000 stabilization fund to purchase all cattle forced to market from drought condi- tions at a fair price for quality offered. It is doubtful, however, how the request can be granted because the government has no money available for such a pur- pose and it divested itself volun- tarily from the wide powers un- der "peace, order and good gov- ernment" taken for itself by the Bennett government. Some as- sistance of some kind will have to be forthcoming, however. Prime Minister King officiated at the corner-stone laying of the new $400,000 legation and resi- dence being erected by the French government in Ottawa. The Bri- tish and United States govern- ments already have fine resi- dences and offices for their repre- sentatives so that Japan is the only country with a minister here without permanent accom- modation for its representative. Mr. King, in a timely speech, seized the opportunity to com- ment of the significance of such alittle bit of French soil in the heart of Canada and the little bit of Canadian soil at Vimy in France. "Thus Canada speaks to the world asking it to behold what world may become which buries deep the feuds of past genera- tions and forgets forever its en- mities of race," Mr. King obser- ved. Lifting of the sanctions against Italy apparently came in time to avoid a shortage of lemons in Canada, the use of them having risen sharply during the torrid heat wave across the Dominion in recent weeks. Ordinarily Canada's lemon supply, comes partly from the States and partly from Italy. -It will likely take some months for the normal trade between Canada and Italy to resume with the lifting of sanctions which were imposed last November because of Italy's invasion of Ethiopia. 1 The Canadian Government, as far as is known, has not become excited about the German airship _ Hindenburg flying over parts of eastern Canada as have sections of the British public and parlia- ment over sections 'of England on her recent flights from Germany _ to New York. Meanwhile, Hon. C. D. Howe, minister of trans- has been inspecting sections osed trans-Canada air mail route from Ottawa as far west as Winnipeg. The objective is to have such service right across Canada in operation by Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, Con- servative leader, and honorary colonel of the Calgary Highland- ers, has been awarded the Cana- dian efficiency decoration, accord- ing to a recent announcement of the National Defence Depart- ment. Mr. Bennett recently celebrated his 66th birthday in Vancouver. Death of a guard in the Kings- ton penitentiary following an at- tack by an inmate will likely be investigated by the royal com- mission on penitentiaries when it begins its inquiry in the fall. Lord Tweedsmuir, Canada's governor-general, has been indis- posed at Quebec lately. Whether his illness will prevent his sche- duled trip to Western Canada early next month remains to be seen. Canada's export of wheat in June amounted to 25,763,565 bus- hels valued at $19,682,585, on an average export price of 76.4 cents per bushel.

Of course it must always be taken seriously, but sometimes it is interpreted the wrong way. First of all the heart may be enlarged in either of two ways-- it may actually be thickened, like a wrestler's arm, or it may just be overstretched without thick- ening the muscular wall. This latter is called "dilatation" and is often due to sudden overstrain. The form with actual muscular thickening may be due to con- stant effort over a_ period of months, as for instance in a well- trained marathon runner, but it is more often due to some valvular leakake of the heart. This may have resulted from old infection back in childhood. It may have been due to infection getting into the valve edges dur- ing an attack of rheumatic fever or perhaps from chronically in- fected tonsils. The actual infec- tion in the valves and heart muscles may have long since healed, leaving only the scars on the valves. Now the body requires that so much blood be pumped per min- ute. If there is an appreciable back leakage, obviously the heart must pump the required amount plus the amount leaking back. That means more work. which will produce a thickened muscle in time. This explains why the actual thickening of the heart wall may be a life saver. Without it we could not carry on an active life; with it many a person with dam- aged valves can live practicaly a normal life, except, of course, that the ordinary strains of life, lifting heavy objects, running for street cars, cranking the car, etc., must be avoided. This. explains, too, why the heart tends to enlarge with high blood pressure. There may be no leak, but a higher pressure may be required in the force pump to overcome resistance somewhere in the blood circuit. Of course, if the heart be di- lated only, or if there be dilata- tion on top of thickening, and a careful examination by your physician can ascertain this--the utmost care must be taken until the dilatation be corrected. Because of the efforts of the heart muscle to "compensate" for these extra demands there is a tendency to abuse this protection. Remember that the muscle is al- ways overtaxed and have it checked from time to time. Fre- quent short rest periods under your doctor's direction will often enable people with "hearts" to far outlive their more active as- sociates.
