Not twelve months ago, prayers were being made the world over for the happy growth of the new Caliph's beard, and to-day that same gentle- man, accompanied by a number of ladies politely catalogued as his "family," are refugees in Switzer- land. Though the Caliph ig head of the Mohammedan world, his position is not at all analagous to that of the Pope. According to recent apolo- gists, he makes no claim of being Allah's 'earthly representative, and only ignorant minds have ascribed to him that impossiblé office. Per- haps he is as much as anything else a figurehead typifying certain powers --the power to raise troops and de- clare war against the infidel. the power to administer justice ana tw carry on the business of state in ac- cordance with law, Formerly the Caliphate was vest- ed in successive Arab sovereigns, but In the course of conquest the Turk overthrew the Arab and Egyp- tian states and seized the Caliphate for himself. Now the Turkish Na. tional Assembly, that effervescent mixture of Frefich polish and Tartar cunning, has decided that these powers are vested in the people, and that to make an individual thelr custodian is not only anomalous but creates 'a dangerous rival to the elected government. Accordingly they banished him, bag and bag- In Turkey the act seems to have been met with silence that is expres- sive of nothing more than fear. { There are some blunders Great Brit. | Our debt to the Russel Sage Founda- | ai | Even Mr. Slap- | | scandals in high and low life; rent motion picture has not carried | | many | many robberies; | come enslaved Britain before an immense gathering ever were, though the one calls itself It is a just and clear-sighted ar-| of Soviet Republics. raignment of an age whose glorious | to-day are practically living under achievements seem to rest on such | martial law, who | | checks which a freely exercised pub- | are absent in both countries. deplores the.shallowness ot this 8°D: | ope is not the admission of two | by both Russia and Germany of the | of citizenship than anything else.

Ottawa Journ Bishop Bidwell told the Urban School Trustee Association at King- ston the other day that no system of education could be regarded as com- plete unless {it provided for the spiritual training of the pupil, From that broad postulate there should not be any dissent. Spiritual forces have more to do with the forming of hu- man character and the development controversy begins the moment the question is raised of what kind of spiritual training shall be given. In this instance, the advocate of a change in the curriculum left no doubt as to what he himself had in view. '""The schools of the nation should be placed in an atmosphere which is distinctly religious, and where religion is definitely taught," he sald. The execution of such a programme leaves wide room for argument. What particular religion does the worthy bishop desire to see "definitely taught?" There are many religions. There are many denominational divisions within the Protestant church, for example, each tenacious of its par- ticular "ism," as has been discover- ed since the question of union began to be discussed, Christianity pre- sents a very broken front, indeed. There is therefore little ground for the hope that ah agreement would be reached as to the precise form which religious training in the schools should take. In fact, there would seem to be no way of getting either over or around such a aim- culty. | Yet we should all be agreed that spirituality ought to be inculeated, and, 'happily, in that case there are no obstacles to be overcome. The curriculum, already sagging under its burden of subjects, would not be subjected to any further strain what. ever; for spirituality may be taught in many ways It cannot be reduced to a formula. It has no text books.

Nevertheless, we all know the pur- pose of the discussion at Kingston, It was merely an attempt to revive | a. movement which took shape | twenty-five years and more ago, and | | which had for object the reading of | tthe Bible in the schools of Ontario. | We know, too, what happened in! that matter.

If my tonsils, my teeth, my gall | bladder, the sinues or caverns ad- joining my nose are causing my acute attack of rheumatism, how is it that I get over my attack without having any of these causes removed? Now that would appear to be a very sensible question, but what really happens? You have been working hard, have been indoors a great deal, have been eating heavy meals, getting no out- | door exercise, and are just ready for trouble, due to neglect of your body. Along comes a very wet day, per- haps some family or financial trouble. You are below par. You resistive forces are at a low point. The bad tonsils, teeth, or imtes- tine are manufacturing the poisons and your blood at first is in poor fighting condition. This allows the poisons to accumulate in the joints and you have a well established case of rheumatism. However, you have little fighters in your body that though defeated at first gradually get the upper hand and your vheumatism' passes away. You see you do various things to help these fighters. First you get right off your feet, and give your heart a chance to strengthen itself up a bit. Then your intestine is always the first thing cleared out, and with it goes some of the 'poison that is in the blood. With this rest, and with the intes- tine and blood purer, these little fighters gradually master the acute attack of rheumatism and you get better. Perhaps a little later you have an- other attack due to the same causes as bafore, and down you go again. What is my thought? That some day these poisons may | be too strong, perhaps actually get to the valve of the heart and cause permanent trouble. And the suggestion? That you have your doctor or den. tist try to locate the exact part where the trouble starts, They will be suc- cessful almost every time. .

DR. CHARLES F. BROOKS Secretary. American Meteorologieslf Boclety, Tells How. The Ideal Climate, Anyone Hving in the northern or central United States is likely to hear a good many hard things said about the élimate, in the course of the year. It is too cold, or too het, or too damp, or so changeable you never know what to expect next. It| may be well to remind those who complain that the "two main areas in the world with climatic conditions most favorable to human activity" appear to be western Europe and the above portion of the United States. Prof. Ellsworth Huntington, of Yale, has studied the question of what constitutes an ideal climate. We must, he says, avoid continued extremes of heat or cold. An aver- age winter temperature around 38 degrees Fahrenheit and a summer average not far from 60 degrees are thought to be very desirable. Such conditions occur in England and on: our Pacific coast. Excessive damp- ness or dryness, as well as persist- ent extremes of temperature are not to' be chosen. But a climate may be too equable; it is well that the tem- perature should change decidedly from season to season, from day to day, and trom day to night. The extreme monotony of weather in the tropics or the por regions is enervafing and depressing. Se, too, monotony prevails in vast regions of central Asia not crossed by storms. The United States, however, is bless- ed with plenty of storms to give var- fety; indeed, the Great Lakes region of the northern United States and southern Canada can pride itself on being one of the stormiest lands in the world. - While California has a delightful climate for outdoor activ- ity through the year, it is a bit too consistently good. A little really bad weather , now and them, is re- lished by the wisest men, who ap- preciate the value of relaxation. Hence Professor Huntington is ready to Champion Boston with its east winds and London with its fogs. GAVE THEM A SHOWER.
