It was claimed that much valuable information was gleaned from the service cards that poured linto the government offices, and since that time the demand for mobilization of the human 7Te- scurces has become more and more insistent, This demand will pro- bably oulmninate in the national re- gistration of all men and women in the Dominion which is now being arranged to be held in the month of June.

The CHILDREN HAD WHOOPING COUGH Whooping cough, although spec- lally a disease of childhood, is by no means confined to that period, but may occur at any time of life. It is one of the most dangerous diseases of infancy, and yearly causes more deaths than scarlet fever, typhoid or diphtheria, and is more common in female than male children, Whooping cough starts with sneezing, watering of the eyes, irrita- tion of the throat, feverishness and cough. The coughing attacks occur frequently, but are generally more severe at night. On the first sign of a "whoop" Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup should be administered, as it helps to clear the bronchial tubes of the collected mucous and phlegm, : . Mrs. George Cooper, Bloomfield, Ont., writes: "It is with pleasure 1 can write and tell you that there never was a better cougi medicine made than Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. Our children had whooping cough last winter, and that is the help them. It loosens up the phlegm so that they could raise it easily. I will never be without it."

BLACK PUDDINGS ARE IN DEMAND sbnieret National Factory Making Them in Britain--Saving in Foodstuffs. Ottawa, April 23.--A review of the food and trade situation in Brit. ain received by the Governor-General and issued through the Chief Cen? sor's office says: "The Food Minister reports that notwithstanding the substantial en- forced reduction in the amount of meat consumed, there has been a not- able absence of complaint from any quarter. Heavy workers are now re- ceiving supplementary rations of | con rendered available by consider- able imports from America. Baceén | not needed for immediate consump- tion is being stored aghinst the re- quirements of the summer period. Substantial economies are being ef- fected in the consumption of bread, which is on a lower 'level than same period last year. ¢ Food Survey Board have or- ganized a national factory for the utilization of meat residuals hitherto | wasted. This factory is now pro- ducing daily about a top of black pud- dings, which are exempted from Zou- pon restrictions and are in large de- mand. THe national Xitcheéns are making rapid progress, three fresh ones being opened last week. The Board of Trade reports that the textile Exports Shipping Com- mittee has set up to ration the avail- able shipping space among the ox- port houses, difficulty having been experienced _#h providing sufficient tonnage for" the export of textiles to distant countries. < Bonar Law expresses appreciation of the Canadian Government's part in financing the war, Advances by Bri- small Dublin unions will stop all work as a protest against conscription.

In Upper and lower Canada William Lyon Mackenzie and Louis Joseph Papineau led the forces of the rabid rtforniers, and to their agency may be traced the two rébel- lions of 27. In "The Patriots of "37" Alfred D. Decelles has written a voi- ume devoted to 'the events which oe- curred in Lower Canada during those unhappy times. He shows Papineau as the outstanding figure. Unlike the eross-grained Scotchman in Upper Canada, he took no part in the actual rebellion itself, but the author makes clear that his agitations and sedi- tious speeches precipitated hostili- ties. The author does not depict a courageous personality, a leader of forlorn hopes, but rather he shows a vacillating character, who in the moment of supreme test lacked the heroism of the martyr. *"The truth seems to be," ha writes, "that Papl- neau always balked a little at the iiea of armed robellion, and that he was carried off his feet at the end of 1937 hy his younger associates, whose enthusiasm he himaelf kad inspired." This may account for Papineau's over-cautiousness and for the faet that he sought Eanetuary across the frontier when the rebellion broke out, Subaequetnly his assistance was solicited by Nelson, the self- styled - president of (Canada. The author continues: "Papineau seems to have had some dealings with Nelson and Cote, and to have dallied with the idea of throwing in his lot with them; but he soon broke off ne- gotiations. 'Papineau,' wrote Robert Nelson, 'has abandoned us, and this through selfish and family motives regarding the seigniories and inveter- ate love of old, bad French laws.' There is every reason to believe, how- ever, that Papineau bad been in com- munication with the authorities at Washington, and that his desertion of Nelson and Cote was in reality due to his discovery that President Van Buren was not ready to depart from his attitude of neutrality." The various fights and skirmishes which characterized the rebellion are described at length in the work, and the conduct of the Loyalist volunteers is deplored, In commenting on this, the anthor! writes: "It is probable that the British officers and perhaps Sir John Colborne himself winked at some of the things which they could not officially recognize. At any rate, it T§ impossible {o acquit Colborne of all responsibility for the unsoldierly conduct qt the men under his com- mand.' In summing up the. evenls of the rebellion, the author says: "It is usual to regard the rebellion-of 1837 in Lower, Canada as no less a fiasco than its counterpart in Upper Canada. There is no doubt that it was hope-' less from the outset. It was rather an imprompiu movement based upon a sudden resolution than oh a well- reasoned plan of action, Yet it is easy to see that the rebellion might have been much more serious, It was casily snuffed out because the major- ity of the French-Canadian people, In obedience to the volee of their chureh, set their faces against 1t." Concluding a brief glimpse of the last days of Papineau is given, Like Mackenzie, the Quebec agitator avail- ed himzelf of the amnesty, granted | some years later, and once more en- howevef, Sm tered politics. Ho was, hopelessly behind the times and re- tired shortly after to his siegnsury at Montebello. He geldom left the pri- vacy of his ancestral estates, but once, grey and bent with years, he journey- ed to Montreal and made his famous pronouncement: "You will my country. Opinions outside may differ; but, looking into my heart and! my mind in all sincerity, I feel that I can say that I loved her as she should be loved." The real import- ance of Papineau after his return fo |B Canada. the Author finds, lay not in the Parliamentary sphere, but in the encouragement he gave to anti-cleri- cal ideas, that found expression in the formation of the Parti Rouge, in many respeéts a continuation of the Patriots.
