Wool Shortage Held Unlikely Nervousness I. Headache Cause The commonest cause ot chronic headache is just plain nervousness. This conclusion is considersbly borne out by the report read " the British Medical Association moot- ing at Aberdeen this summer. One conclusion was that unwanted visi- tors cause headaches more often than physical disorders. And other causes listed were loud voices, the prospect ot unwelcome tasks. the dislike ot other people, worry, in. somnia and insults.

It is true that during the previous war years retail prices ot all com- modities moved steadily upward, reaching a peak in 1920, when a sharp decline set in. For the early years of the war, however, the rise was not much greater than that which would have taken place as a result ot a general stimulation ot business activity in peacetime.

The Opposi- tion at the moment consists of only 17 men ou' of a total of 90 legislts tors. These seventeen belong to three separate political parties: First, the omeiai Liberals, surviv- ors of the Tasehereau regime led by M.

Mr. La- pointe does not hesitate to say that the true reason of this election'is the unfortunate financial situation in which the Quebec Government finds itseif. "They have spent Pro- vincial funds like drunken sailors," he says. (The funded debt of the Province had" incuvased from $149,748,000 on June _ a, 1936, to $285,000,576 on Maren 31 last). Mr. Lapointe infers. that there are many millions of dollars in unpaid warrants in the hands of contract- ors for Provincial work: who have not yet been paid in cash. Into Federal Area. This provincial struggle in Que- bee has been earfied into the fed- eral arena by members of Prime Minister King s Cabinet who have been campaigning‘against M. Du- plessis. Mr. Lapointe has stated that an election victory for the Union Nationale Government in Quebec would be his cue, and that of the other Quebec Ministers, to retire from the Federal Govern- ment.

Climbing on the Band-Wagon If M. Duplessis' government is returned to office, we will have evidence that he has made suc- cessful capital out of Preneh..Can.. ada's traditional lack of desire to participate in war and its fear of losing power to the Dominion Gov- ernment. As Jean-Charles Har- vey’s French-speaking weekly "Le Jour" expressed it: "There will rally to M. Dupiessis' side a crowd of political adventurers of every shade - separatist, Anstlophobe, isolationtist, Laurentiunist, sectar- ian, all the ragtag and bobtall of last-ditch nationalism in Quebec." In Bad Financial Shape M. Duplessis' calling of an elec- tion at this stressful time in Cana- dian life is branded by Federal Ninistet of Justice Lapointe as If M.

He spreads gossip and even manages to destroy some of Dr. Winter's property. But Ezra gains the admiration and support of s wealthy and influential girl, who pledged herself to help the men who has been so generous and kind to her. Ezra, firm in the knowledge of his duty, loved by a few loyal supporters, defies Caleb, creating a poignant and dramatic climax. Katharine Haviland-Taylor por- trays country people and customs with a tolertnce and love that shows how deeply sympathetic is her knowledge of them. An average .,e a million trees a week were planted in Great Bri. tain last year, the Forestry Com. mission have more than a million acres under control with a staff deiinltely looking after it, says the Niagara Falls Review.

"BACK ROADS" By Katharine Havihnd-Tnylor This is the story of a country doctor, Ezra Winters of the gal- lant heart. Every community has at one time known a man like him. He knows that his people need him and when they call, he goes regardless of the sire of the fee expected. We Cut and Burn and Make Practically No Effort to Re- place Our Forests Tending Towards Treeless Canada l Gooseberries and entrants nre also berries, so no grapes, cucum- bers, marrow, and melons. But raspberries, blackberries. and lo- ganberries, despite their mute, Ire not berries-because their seeds are external. They are proper fruits. But in order to bring to the attention of everyone and in the interest of making and keeping gunning a safe sport, a set of rules has been drawn up known as "The Ten Commandments of Safety." These have been devised after studies by sporting arms experts, game omeials, outdoor editors and others. They are believed to cor- er every essential safety observ- ance which a gunner should obey. They are: Ten Commandments First Commandment: Ihwat ev- ery gun with the respect due to a loaded gun. This is the cardinal rule of gun safety. Strictly speaking, the tomato, or love-apple. is neither n true fruit nor I vegetable, says the British Family Herald. It is . berry-a berry being any seed- bearing body in which the seeds are internal and surrounded by soft material. There will be thousands of gun- ners in Ontario this fall who-will go into the hunting field in pur- suit of their favourite game. Near- ly all of them are safe gunners. _ Eighth Commandment: Never climb I tree or a fence with a loaded gun. Fifth Commandment: Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger. 7 Seventh Commandment: Never leave your gun unattended unless yoll upload it first. Tenth Commandment: Do not mix gunpowder and aleohol. IF YOU ARE GOING CUNNING Third Commatidment: Always be sure that the barrel and action are clear of obstructions. Fourth Commandment: Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle even if you stumble. Sikth Commandment: Nevee point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. Ninth" Commandment: Never shoot at a fiat, hard surface or the surface of water. Second Commandment: Carry only empty guns, taken down or with the action open, into your automobile, camp and home. _ Tomato ls Berry By VIC BAKER N T A It l O UTDOORS "Bo not mull. the niahlu of qsoasNo'at. thin with a, ordinary brush.'"
