Some times the interference goes further in Canada than it does in the United States, as in the case of oleomargar- ine, for instance; but in both coun- tries there seems to be a race to see how soon, all the joy can be taken out of life. “An occasional kiss can’t pe a girl,”, might be inscribed as a on a statute of what there is lett of our liberty.

THE POWER OF THE FAMILY ALTAR (London Advertiser) That power, generated at the fam- ily altar, has almost passed away from the life of the 1923 church, and there has not been anything brought forth, nor can there be any- thing brought forth, to take its piace. If the church of 1923 wants. the power of tha old patriots, they have got to retrace thelr steps. They have called for forward movements that did not go forward; they have called for exP anne did not expand. The man and }he woman of 1923 is much! the same as of fifty years ago.

Roth and Tel- ford B. Null have-paid the price for winning a balloon | race with their own lives. Wreckage of a, great gas floating on Lake Erie about 30 aston from Port Stanley ‘on Saturday morn- ing was sufficient evidence to tell the whole story. The slashed ropes, .| the-absence of the basket, all told ex- actly what had happened as the bal- loonists made their last struggle to cut free from the gas bag that threatened to smother them ' Such was the end of a race which started in Indianapolis on July 4. This particular contestant was seen drifting over Detroit on Friday night during a thunder storm One cannot help wonder at ‘the ad- visability of continuing such events. The idea is to see which one can go farthest before coming down. The balloon is such a helpless thing once it gets up in the air. lt is more or less at the mercy of the elements, and the elements are particularly fickle, especially at this time of the year, when electrical storms and sudden, violent gales are common It is estimated, too that to outfit tickle up the public’s appetite’ for) and send this ill-fated balloon up good, whelesome meat. been snooping around giving meat a} or wears, | costs about $160,000 and the chances say the cattle men, faddists have | are that ali others in the race would be equally expensive.

The raisers of fat steers are on the Warpath, and the vegetarians will have to fight for their lives. Billboards and advertisements blare out the news that we must eat more raisins for qur iron require- ments, and more Srangee for our vitamines. Dairymen ant us .to drink more milk ait aaneay bigger hunks of butter off our bread. One enthusiast has calculated that if we all eat twice as much cheese as we are in the habit of doing, Ontario won't have to worry about the over- seas market and New Zealand com- petition. We'd be delighted to do all these things. Every one of the articles mentioned is a first-class food, and we would like to see the cattle, dairy, wheat, raisin and orange industries on a basis of pros- perity. But if a man eats more of one thing he has to eat less of another, a on Christmas and Thanksgiy- ing, when he stuffs beyond the lim- it vn elasticity and suffers for it af- terwards. Marvellous surgical operations and transplantings are a matter of daily news in the press. The time may come when every child will be pro- vided with seven stomachs from a calf, so that it will grow up with seven times the food capacity of the poor handicapped individual of to- day. Then the industries will thrive, and over-production of foodstuffs will be a thing unheard of. MR. FERGUSON'S GOOD START ) {London Free Press) Hon. Howard Ferguson “is being congratulated on all sides upon his new Cabinet. It is generally admit- ted that the new prime minister has started off right by selecting a min- istry thoroughly representative of all parts of Ontario and of al} clas- ses of the community. It is a Cabin- et which inspires confidence and gives promise of restoring sound, sane, responsible government such as Oritario has lacked for the past four years. The Cabinet consists of four lawyers, four business men, _ three farmers and two doctors, while. ev- ery portion of the province is repre- sente In addition, it is a Cabinet of men who have had either legislative. or municipal experience and hay a success of their various: lines. of business: They are mostly young, active-men, in the prime of life, in- terested in the progress and the de- velopment of the province. The sel- ection of W. F. Nickle as. attorney- general is particularly well recetved. Mr. Nickle’s long reputation of hew- ing to the line, no matter where the chips may fall, fies the feeling thet he will be a conspicuous success greater value of human lives, makes a stake too high for the object to be attained. The aeroplane is here, and it is vastly superior to the balloon be- cause it can be managed and = con- trolled. There would have to be some highly-prized reason to continue the hazards of ——_ usage in this age. “A DEAD TOWN ON SUNDAY” (London Advertiser) ‘bhis is a dead town on Sunday, so that’s why I get down to Detroit as often as possible for the week- nd.” ‘ That is the opinion of one young man in London, and it may be the opinion of many more. He considered this was a ‘dead town"’ because there was no amusement here On Sunday, no ball games, no movies; the town was locked up for the day, and there was no place for him te go Age may bring to that young man an appreciation of other things—it often does. There is that period in lite where youth calls for action, ex citement, pleasure, and where it te a _willing to pursue it seven days week. The trouble with that outlook is that it is not developing character; it is not bringing into play the sense that can label chaff as such and lay it to one side. / Without arguing the point, let us take another case, a Londoner. Quite carte Sunday morning he was up and around. He drove his car out to one of the hospitals on the outskirts of the city; he was welcomed there, as he came frequently. In a few min- utes he came out leading a man whose eyesight had been the price of dhis*service to his country.
