Thanks to nature and in some cases to kind-hearted owners, these spots are inviting, clean, tidy--and so the picnic folks, whether they tod- dle out of a motor or trolley car, shout their pleasure at the discovery and take possession. Too often a few hours later these attractive spots are a litter of lunch-boxes, plates, oil- ed paper, egg shells, sardine cans and banana skins. You see the point now, von care- less or indifferent picnicker. And so why not be a good sort? If nature or some person made the place' attractive for you, why not leave it attractive for others who may follow? In other words, why $inot clean up or burn up the litter, taking care to extinguish the fire be- fore you leave, or collect the refuse and cart it away with you to a re- gular dump? 'Surely after the pleasure you have had out of a picnic spot; you would not intentionally want to mess' it up for others because if every one were that sort, the fascinating spot would not have been attractive at all. Ot course, if after dinner at home you sweep the plates on the floor. hurl the knives into the plaster or leave the food debris scattered over the table cloth, it is natural to carry such manners into the woods and onto the byways. Consideration for others is one of the finest of human assets.

There is no doubt that a remedy for this distress- ing and mysterious malady would Prove a great blessing for a large number of persons throughout the world. We call it a mysterious ma- lady because it is so. What is its cause and why must its victims suffer annually in spite of all they do to prevent its recurrence? Those upon whom it has laid its hold know al- most to a day when they will be call- ed upon to again endure its agonies. Because hay fever is more preval- ent in August than in any other month, it is popularly supposed that pollen from flowers is the cause. But why pollen from August's flowers and not from these blooming in other months of the year? To answer that the adherents of the pollen theory pick on the golden rod. But hay fever claims its victims in' places where there is no golden rod, and residents of large cities who never are within miles of that popular wild flower at any time often suffer the most severely. And if pollen is the cause of the disease why are not all Who lve in the country afflicted and all who live in the city immune? The writer who suggested that physicians turn their attention to hay fever may or may not be a suf- ferer but in any event he puts up to them a puzzle worthy of their fullest consideratiog. That it is not ordin- arily a fatal malady does not make the hay fever problem less important. The fact that it seemingly is such a simple and more or less harmless afffiction makes it seem that the ans- wer to the problem should be easy to discover. Seemingly of a similar na- ture to influenza, it is not so often fatal, but it causes a great amount of suffering each year. The very mysteriousness of the disease should be a sufficient motive to cause some physician to determine to conquer it. ) TROOPS IN NOVA SCOTIA. Once again a serious indastrial si- tuation has arisen in Nova Scotia, and troops are on the scene to act as a curb on acts of violence on the part of any of the striking workers. It is unfortunate that such a situ- ation should arise, and more unfor- tunate still that it should be neces sary to send troops into the affected area, but past experience has proven that the strikers in this district are a little more strenuous in their me- thods of fighting industrial disput- es than in most places in this coun- try, and that trouble is liable to oc- cur at any time to cause losses of life and property. It is peculiar, however, that as soon as there is trouble of this kind, necessitating the dispatch of troops to the scene, the labour leaders im- mediately throw the blame upon the federal government at Ottawa, and threaten drastic action unless the Ottawa authorities at once order the withdrawal of the troops. This is what happened in Nova Seotia when the troops arrived there a few days ago. The mine workers immediately issued an ultimatum, demanding that the troops be removed at once, fail- ing which they would ail go on strika, including the mine maintenauce and pumping crews, and allow the mines to be flooded and destroyed. The demand was to the federal mi- nister of labour, the Hon. James Mur- dock, although as a matter of fact this department had nothing at all to do with the troops being there. What those who are criticizing the government for sending troops to Nova Scotia fail to realize is that the government is not primarily re- A / {merely carrving out the provisions | attractive shady nook close and far jot the militia act. The responsibility ' from the highways become the site|for soldiers being sent there rests {vin the authorities of Nova Scotia, { who, under the terms of this act, | requested that soldiers be sent to preserve ordcr in Sydney and to protect public property and life. The troops went there because of this re- quest, and according to this act they will stay there until! the local au- thorities are satisfied that their pre- sence is no longer needed. It is a inatter which lies entirely with the lccal authorities, and beyond cora- plying with the request for military protection, the hands of the Ottawa authorities are tied in the matter, This is just an instance of how governments are somctimes made the subject of severe criticism when they are not responsible for the acts which are being criticized, and it shows just how hard it is for aay rarty which is in power to keep free from unjust attacks. No doubt thera will be many protests made to Ot- tawa before the trouble is over, but the strikers and their colleagues who are doing the protesting should have it made perfectly clear to them that the presence of the troops there or their withdrawal lies entirely in their own hands and the hands of the local maintenance of law and order in the affected area. THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY. Kingston is: honored as the meet- ing place of the Ontario Historical | Society this year, and our citizens {who are privileged to attend keenly appreciate the warm regard the de- |Jégates express as they tour the city and view the historica! treasures that abound everywhere, The members of the society are pa- triotic Canadians who venerate th: past, and their emotions are deeply stirred by relics that bear some tan- gible relationship to the lives of those early settlers who founded this beautiful province of Ontario. To them Kingston is for the time being a national shrine, and it is to-day being enriched by the valuable con- tributions they bring and which re- present a labor of love. We heartily endorse the warm wel- come extended by his worship, the mayor. Kingston is not formally celebrating its 250th anniversary, but it is being fittingly observed by the unique gatherings in Convoca- tion Hall, Queen's University, this week. The proceedings should be attended by all of our citizens, for the papers being read give an insight into early Canadian life that is in- spiring to us to-day. The one do- minating purpose of our ancestors was to plant firmly the Union Jack on the continent of America, and as the story of each successive step in the development of national life is retold we feel the responsibility that is ours to-day and obtain a new vision of a greater Canada, Kingston is proud of the place it holds in the esteem of Canadians ev- erywhere and with them we hold in veneration the memory of those who labored outside of Ontario, in old Quebec and in the provinces by the sea. Their history is our history, and we find that wherever the United Funipire Loyalists settled they pursu- ed with the utmost fidelity the com- mon object of establishing British nationality, and their passion is found expressed in our citizens to- day. ' The Ontario historicdl societies are doing work of great national im- portance by bringing to light inter- esting facts, by setting up tablets and monuments and creating patrio- tle sentiments that ought to be shar- ed by all citizens. The delegates at- tending the present sessions in King- ston will obtain new information and thus be able to exert a greater influ- ence in their own societies upon re- turning home. . : PRESS COMMENT Others Interested.

Canadian Questions and Answers Q.~--~Where does Canada stand in export trade per capita? A.--Canada leads the world in her rer capita export trade, viz; $150 for Canada, $98 for Great Britain and $65 for the United States. Q--Who was Canada's first farm- er? A.--Canada"s first farmer was Luis Hebert, who, on February 27th, 1626, was granted a thousand aeres of land near the city of Quebec, on conditions of seignorial tenure under which he was to bring a certain num- ber of men, with him to render mili- tary service when required. CLERGY AND MOVIES. Moncton Transcript. It is not often that members of the clergy are seen at moving pic- tures. Occasionally we hear one remark that he attended a moving picture entertainment during his vacation, or while he was on a trip; but it looks as if for some ressu. ministers do not wish fo patronize What can be the reason? Moving pictures of the right type are educa- tive and the churches recognize this fact because many are adopting the moving picture as a medium for in- struction. It is apparent that a minister's duties often keep him engaged aur- ing the evenings and that is chief time when moving pictures can be seen, but this would not apply to every evening in the week. Auy person can get an occasional evem- ing for an unusual engagement. Possibly our moving pictures are too frequently not of a proper nature for ministers to see, and in this case they are fit for'nobody. There is something wrong. Moving pictures are not only excellent for entertainment purposes; they are « splendid means of spreading infor- mation and of instruction, and even now they are being used extensivem for this purpose. It is a safe pro- phecy that they will grow in popular- ity in this respect to an almost un- limited extent and churches among other institutions will find them in- valuable. Moving picture theatres ought to be fit for ministers to al- tend occasionally. The broad-mind- ed Individual should not object to seeing his pastor at the right kind of a moving picture entertainment -- but it should be the right kind. The pictures should be properly censored 50 that all shown would have a pro- per influence on the child, the min- ister and the general public: too bad that sometimes pictures up- on the screen, the moral in- of which is not good, On the in Moncton this season and seasons, the results of master pic with really wonder- uplifting power.
