The Whig cannot see how any party can find much cause for re- Joicing in the 6utcome of the East iBlgin election. The Liberal-Con- servatives lost a long-held seat; the Mackenzig Khfg' Liberals made but a sorry showing; while the U.F.0. saw' their majority reduced from 1,570 to 208. RELIGION AND LIFE, It may be confidently asserted that every man ds religious because ev- ery man has eternity in his heart. That is equivalent to saying that every man has some conception of a supreme being and some idea of the world about him. "It is the glory of the Christian re- dgion that the conception of God dpherent in 1° is that of a Father i ves and seeks the best for His children, who has not made a world and then forsaken it, but who is in- terested in the affairs of men. It is inherent dn the Christian faith that at the heart of things eternal good- ness, eternal wisdom and eternal m¥rcy are gersonally loving, know- he understanding the affairs of . That $s, God is not an absen- tee; He is "nearer than breathing, than hands and feet." "It was the achievement of Jesus, that He, as no other of the sons of men, worked out ghis faith in prac- Men who come to know Him, to appreciate , came to the conclusion that walked the earth in human form, en that God-controlled human per- 'womality alone was the fitting vehicle of grace and truth. is faith in God as a father car & «248 ::333| benefit, and the price of their pro- 'OUT-OF-TOWN BEN AT, ES Joh of protherhood, insisted on" by all Jesus, has not re- 8 by Chris- tian people might be expected from the followers of Jesus. The | | plain the student of the | | gospels finds a programme of living | vastly unlike a modern Christian | community. The note of heroism, of | sacrifice, of selfless living, predomin- lates.

Their theory is that free trade will 86 cheapen their implements that the farmers th&mselves will reap the duce will drop. While they them- selves put forward the latter argu- ment, it is hard to conceive of the farmers, or .anyone else for that matter, lowering the price of the goods they produce. No such policy has ever been apparent, and it does not seem feasible that it should be adopted now, But there is one interpgsting phase of the question which has been over- looked by the farmers. It was brought to light by the manager of the Aylmer plant of the Carnatign { Milk Products Co., while he was discussing an order for ten carloads of condensed milk just received from Germany. This gentleman asserted {that the farmers of Elgin count? alone would lose an annual revenue [ot $675,000 from only one oon- | | densory alone should the frea trade | of the Unitea Farmers go into ef- fect. His words are at least worthy of consideration: "We consume over thirty million pounds of fluid milk in our Aylmer rlant alone each year, and the cur- rent price paid to the patrons is | $2.25 per hundred pounds. We are established here because of the pro- tective tariff, Our American plants are capable of supplying the domes- tic demand, and, in addition, ithe surplus output, which runs into im- mense quantities, must be marketed abroad. At present our American condenseries are cut off from the European market, because of the adverse exchange which amounts to too high a premium to permit * of trading on the European market. In consequenee American plants are largely oversfocked. One plant alone has over six million cases in storage waiting for a market. "Another point which seems to have been overlooked is that the Canadian farmer is receiving $2.25 per hundred pounds, while our Am- erican patrons are receiving" $1.76 per hundred pounds. With free trade, the Canadian farmer would be forced to, compete with the $1.75 milk, and we, in turn, would be forced to close down our Canadian plants. It would be impossible to operate under such conditions." Without seeking to go any further into the merits or demerits of the protective- tariff, dt would seem tha' the free trade which the farmers are demanding would not be such a fine thing for them after all. What they might gain on one hand they would lose on. the other, and the chances are that their last condition would be worse than the first, The whole tariff question is one which requires |a great deal of consideration, for whatever plan is adopted must ba one which will operate with equal benefit to all classes in the dominion. Only thus can the greatest good to the greatest number be assured. THE EAST ELGIN ELECTION. The outstanding feature of tha, East Elgin election is not the sue- cess of Mr. McDermand so much as it is the desertion of the U.F.O. by more than two thousand farmers. At the provincial election a U.F.O. candidate was elected by a majority of 1,600. This majority has been reduced to 208, in the bye-election, while the Liberal candidate received 1,949 votes. The total Liberal and Mf your young womanhood! U.F.0. and Liberal vote, as , but had the Liberals more of the farmers the %overnment would, perhaps. have carried the seat.

Mr. Meighen had taken up the question of the tariff and placed it before the people has caused the farmers' organizers to modify their absurd statements and to go soft on free trade, although free trade is still the strong card in the west. The tariff commission has brought to light facts that prove conclusively the need of a tariff for the protection of many of our indus- tries and the interests of labor, while no rational method of raising revenue aside from import duties, income and excise taxes, has been suggested. The farmers are learn- ing the truth about these things, and: the need for organization as a political party in federal politics is not apparent to many who think these matters out for themselves. The difference between the farmer of to-day and the farmer of ten years ago is to be found in the posi- tion he has taken on questions of economics. These, he is learning, are the all-important questions, not racial and religious sentiments, and if he sees that the business of the country is conducted along business lines he 'is satisfied to pay his taxeg and support good government. { MUSINGS OF THE KHAN The Runt and the Rascal. (No. 14) That evening the Runt went down to spend the night with Tee Tee. That astute young lady had a hunch that something had happened, which ac- counts for the fact that she suggest- ed bed as early as nine p.m. Each of them made conversation till they were snug in bed and then Tee Tee nudged the Runt and gently whisper- ed, "Shoot." "I'm goin' to git married," breath- ed the Runt. Tee Tee lay motionless. Another castle had faMen and crushed her. She had been dreaming dreams. The great warehouse where she worked had become "a stately barn with a great silo at one end. Under the barn were stahled twenty milch cows. She could smell their breath, parti- cularly when they were fed turmots. There was a noble pig pen and a hen house full of Minorcas. There was a fine old farm home with a great cook shanty---what they call nowadays the summer kitchen. There was a parlor, of course, with a hair wreath on the wall, and a bunch of wax flowers and fruit in a glass case on the centre ta« ble beside the plush album, the fam- ily Bible and a complete History of the Great War, fully illustrated. Then there was a cellar full of fruits, apples piled in bins and barrels, heaps of potatoes, carrots, cabbages and long rows of fruit jars on the shelves. And there was a man in the house. Not a man like the shipping clerk, either. No, nor like the junior partner, but a big, husky duck who littered the floor with chaff every time he pulled off his boots. And it |» had been all a dream after all! She cried a bit, and then the dead game lttle sport: turned over and hug her comrade. m so glad, dearie; forgive me, but I was jealous for a minute.

Stricken what are you Have you gone in the full bloom Who the Sam Hill was talkin' about young Dan? McCracken, hey, McCracken, 'splain yerself!" "Ain't you goin' to marry young Dan?" whimpered McCracken. 'Not this winter, I ain't,' quoth the Runt with emphasis. Tee Tee sat up in bed. A man can think best lying down. This is not the case with the opposite sex. A lady has got to sit up. She may get the'| government vote was 4,804 against Mr. McDermand's 3,063, a 'majority against the U.F.O. of 1,741. It is evident. from these figures that the farmers as a political party are going backward rather than for- ward and this fact is disquieting to those responsible for launching the farmers of this country into politics as a class. The ers are quite capable, individually, of judging for themselves and are not going to be dragoon®d to the poles by J.

I hired some honest working men (to find such men long leagues I chased) to come around and fix my den, which time and weather had de- faced. The carpenter arrived in state, he was attired in raiment glad; his touring car was simply great -- eight cylinders the hiamed thing had. The plasterer, a stalwart man, gave evidence that he was flush, for he rade in a fine sedan upholstered in.| the richest plush. The painter came, as he'd agreed, a man of rather haughty mien; he used: to drive an old bay steed, but now he tools a limousine. The tinsmith came, an able cuss, who labors through a six- { hour day, and I admired his hand- some. bus, a Model 21 coupe.

Indigestion is one of the worst forms. of stomach trouble, and many people suffer terribly after every meal they eat. 'The rising and sour- ing of the food, pains in the stomach, heartburn, water brash, belching of wind, vomiting shortly after eating, etc..-are some of the symptoms. There is no need for any person to be troubled with indigestion, dyspep- 8ia or-any other stomach-trouble if they would only take Burdock . Blood Bitters, which contains a combina- tion of nature's roots, herbs, barks and berries; a combination that can- not help but put the stomach right. Mr. H. H. Collins, Norton, N.B., writes:--""I was with the overseas forces for fofir years and two months, ani in October, 1916, I was unfortu- 'nate enough to be wounded and taken prisoner. I was a prisoner for 215 years, and the food they gave us was not good, at times, and after a few months I found I was suffering from indigestion. When I came home in+ July, 1919, I was nearly a wreck. I was told to use Burdock Blood Bit- ters. 1 did so and found great re- lief, and can now eat without fear of pains and sickness. I would recommend B.B.B. to all who suffer from indigestion." Burdock Blood Bitters has been on the market for over forty years, and during that time has made a repu- tation second to none for relieving all stofnach troubles. Manufactured only by The T.
