Those who believe in the efficacy of prayer and to whom religion 1s moge than a mere lip service will find small merit in abbreviation of a plea which was framed by the Saviour Himself, ' LITTERED STREETS. ' The days of annual fall clean-ups in cities are now approaching and civic pride will stir. Back yards, basements and public places will stripped of their disfiguring litter. Then, a week or so later, the bits! of dirty and torn paper begin to fly about again, and before long the streets will be untidy as before. Most communities would be horri- fied if any one suggested tossing the garbage out onto the lawns or into the street gutters. Yet even in residence sections one can find, in almost any town or city, at almost any time, the litter of discarded newspapers, empty bags, torn wrap- ping paper, and so on. Occasionally a citizen is seen who pushes the paper he is through with into the rubbish box provided for such things, but more often one sees him drop it at his side in the street. Not so much raboish is deliberately thrown into the street in residence sections, but the litter appears there just the same Much of the adver: tising matter distributed from door to door is never picked up and taken into the house. It blows from porch to yard and then starts its career of fluttering about across tie lawns. Clean-up week is a fine institu- tion, as far as it goes. The inspira- tion of clean-up days needs to begin earlier and last longer, however, if cities and towns are to rid them- selves of this disgrace. SS ---------- UNSAFE MILK. i Kingston will be interested in the milk controversy which is being waged in England. Analyses prove that much of the British milk supply is unfit for consumption. The Lon- don Express leads in the discussion and declares that American cities would not tolerate the mitk 'which London accepts without question. It is asserted that forty per cemt. of English cows are tubercular and that pasteurization does mot yield pure milk because in the distribution the milk becomes re-contaminated. Here in Canada we ave been of the opinion that Great Britain led in regard to giving the people a safe mitk supply, and it is a surprise to learn that so much of England's milk is unclean. In Am- erica, of late years, a great deal of attention has heen paid to the milk supply which has been wonderfully improved. The conditions that ob- tain in the great English metropolis would not be tolerated in Kingston. During the past six years the milk conditipns of this district have been greatly changed. Civic inspection has resulted in sanitary cow stables, healthy, coves and cleaner distribu- tion. The .nilk regulations guaran- tee the people as clean a milk supply a8 is perhaps possible. It is pleasing to know that Kingston's milk supply is cleaner than that of England. Sootland's supply is probahly better than that of England. Glasgow at least is noted for having sanitary milk. A GERMANY CHANGING, If there is official warrant for in. timations that Germany will dis. continue passive resistance to Franco-Belgiun occupation of the Ruhr, it is regrettable that the Ber- lin government did not adopt a st! r ¢ourse.

The movement started by the | American Legion to have the nations | agree to limit their air armament is | one of the finest things that this or- | | ganization of world war veterans has | undertaken. The gravity of the.sit- | uation can be perceived from the ex- tent to which the mad race for mili- | tary superiority in the a%r has al-| ready carried some of the powers. The history of the world has been that when nations compete witn each other to see which can arm 1t- self the most heavily war is sooner or later the outcome, Furthermore, the expenditure of huge sums on airplanes is bound to impose a bur- den on _the taxpayers of the coun | tries concerned that they can only] shoulder with difficulty. And that is in itself sufficien eason for calle ing a halt. = The Legion reports that France has taken the lead In the struggle f supremacy in the air. She now in 4925 as her goal. Among her air- | planes are some carrying 75-milll- | meter cannons, planes capable of carrying six machine guns and their | crews, huge bombers, others of a special type armored with battle- ship steel, and others which the Legion describes as 'actual troop- ships of the air." England, alarmed by the superiority of the French aerial- forces, has appropriated an extra $27,600,000 to strengthen her air armada, and expects to have 624 planés ready for military operations by 1926 to meet 1,520 that France will have, Italy is going ahead witn plans to get into the race. The soviet government of Russia has set 10,000 airplanes as the goal ana ls employing German technicians and using German material to reach it. Hoping to check this' dangerous contest before it becomes necessary for the United States, in self-qe- fense; to joln In it, the American Legion plans to ask President Coo. lidge to call an international air dis- armament conference and also to lay the matter before the Inter- Allied Veterans' Federation at the convention in Brussels next month. There will be opposition to dis arming. It is no easy task to which the Legion has addressed itself. But the object sought is so commendable it is to be hoped that it will not be discouraged by the obstacles whlch unquestionably will be thrown in its way but will continue persistently to strive for peace. PRESS COMMENT State Aid For Hospitals. It is generally admitted that the voluntary principle is the best and surest foundation for our hospitais. The clutching hand of stale aid and state bureaucracy would rob them of much of thelr initiative and of much of the healing spirit that is their pride.

When so many Scots are coining out here as immigrants would it not be 'a reasonable and sound invest- ment for the government to bring out the very breeds of sheep which these men know so thoroughly, and which happen to be the same breefs that do well in the west?

"lI would, too," 1 agreed. "But at a distance, if you don"t mind." "We can," said Bobby. "The Eskimo said if we would go to the bank of the river and crawl out on 2 rock under a tree that we could see that bear,, because ne comes down on the other side every night to get his supper, just before sun- down." ""Wihat - does he eat for supper?" He might make a mistake and want us," I chuckled, "He catches salmon in the river, answered Bobby. "Well, if 1 were sure that he pre- ferred a fish supper to a meat sup- per, 1 might go," said I. We were upon Kadiac Island, near Alaska, and a8 you may know, this is the place where tae largest bears In the world live. In the Smithsonian Institute at Washing- ton there is a big stuffed Kadiae bear and he is so tall that a man can walkq under his chin. Think of ft! However, the Eskimo sald that we would be safe on that rock so we went the next evening to see the bear, ; As the shadows were lengthening and the sun was sinking behind the ountains, we heard a crashing through the woods on the other side of the river. And there came Mr. Kadiac Bear, breaking down the slender trees as his huge body bumped into them: The river was narrow--so narrow that we\could hear the grunts of the bear as he labored down . the bank to [start his evening's fisking. "He looks \llkke a grant grisly bear, doesn't he?" exclaimed Bobby. Just then the bear reached the water's edge. He levelled his beady eyes on the water and wWatcheq like a big dog ready to pounle on his prey. - Several times he splashed This great paw into the rushing river -- for it was springtime and the river was tumbling down in torregta fed by the snow that had meited' above --and then grunted wth disgust as he missed his aim at the beautiful silver salmon as they dodgea up the river. Now, you know, the wonderful thing about salmon is that they swim up a river against the stroug- ést current. They come in from the octan and fight their way up the river and lay their eggs in fresn water. Even more wonderful than their abllity to buck the swift river is the { breath defiled hy tobacco?"
