While Error hour, as being indeed the very life Is Canada destined to be to the literature of America what Scotland was_for a long period to the litera- ture of Great Britain ? The danger which has never quite ceased to threaten all art in England is an hereditary timidity in the presence of the august conventions, while the art of America is continually appre- hensive of falling into the pitfall of an utter licentiousness of form and treatment. When the academic soul of Eng- land could find absolute horror in a faulty rhyme, when she boasted of the numbers of years that Thomas Gray "sacrficed at the shrine of one poem, when the regularities of a Popean brood had utterly dismayed the heart of Pan, one Robert Burns of Seotland rhymed "drumlie" with "Montgomery" and "beastie" with "hasty" and blasphemed every little tin god which England had set up on the road to rhythm. The rhyming of "drumlie" with "Montgomery" was a proclamation of emancipation to the poets of Eng- land and the straight-jackets of a grammarian tendency were greatly loosened. The greatness of a poet is scarcely less exemplified in his own work than in his influence upon the period in which he writes. Cow- per the liberator will be remember- ed as long as Cowper the poet. His hand can be felt even at this date in the rebellion of the group of Georgians, - . * + If you bind a dance or a, poem qr a painting or any other. artistic thing to a medley of laws the result will be a lessening of rhythm and a declining of thought. When Burns threw overboard the conventions his verse flowed as musically as "Sweet Afton" itself and his thought almost supplanted the Westminster Confes- sion, Without a doubt the spirit of protest of the ploughman of Ayr Is more Intimate to-day to the heart of Scotland than any profound utter- ance of Calvin or Knox. Yet, while English poetry has al- ways taken more from Scottish poetry than it has given; In prose the debt is undoubtedly reversed. The lyric of a garden of roses needs the lyric of rocks and barenness to waken it from its utter complacency, but prose, needing no more rugged- ness than it naturally possesses, is benefited by an environment of tender skies and balmy breezes. Over austerity seldom threatens verse but continually endangers prose. Thus the north always nfluences the south nh poetry, and the south invariably CORNS SOFTEN IN FOOT BATH Hot water extraction of corns and callouses offers the perfect way to rid yourself of painful troubles.

A CANADIAN VIEWPOINT | The Parallel of Scotland and Canada Wilson MacDonald, the author of the series of articles on Canad'an first instalment, is one of the most He differs from art in Canada in the possession A passionate con- continent, for the pre- land, for its spaces, its freedom, its power of testing courage and parochial, of all our poets. He has One simply cannot born wanderer, the One of the earliest and most imitative poems in his first volume ('"The Song of the Prairie Lard," Kingston in 1909, and is a thoughtful Whip-Poor-Will," whose "one simple 'song" teaches us that "Truth doth ever to one message hold, chants a throng." He has always been an earnest thinker on the regards Poesy as something far more than the Toronto, 1918) is dated at and beautiful apostrophe to "The subject of Poesy, one who mere amusement of an idle of a nation's heart. . When he first was a good deal more lonely articles to-the careful atten- dominates the "north in the more rigid form of expression. * . * It has long been my opinion that Canada will influence American poetry inversely as Scottish poetry influenced the poetry of England, that she will save America from her artistic licentiousness as truly as Scotlahd preserved her anclent con- querqrs from the '"'lambie sleep." The salvation can not come from within for the conservatives of the United States stand more aloof from the new movements in poesy than do the most conventional of English bards. Even Bridges is more than mildly interested in the frolics of Vachel Lindeay, and I know of no English poet who can be roused to fury as one can easily rouse a dozen American poets at the name of Edgar Lee Masters. To ignore vers libre is but to increase its vagaries; to sympathetically in- vade its mysteries and salvage all that is worthy is the attitude of the new school of Canadian poetry. . * i» The parallel holds good in every way. One school of American poetry has been declining in vigor and increasing in eccentricity for the bast decade, another has diminished its power at the whim of academic caprice and the destre for perfection, The Canadian poets have a sanity that is seldom found among the radicals of the United States; they also are possessed of a vigor of ui- terance and a wealth of thought that is #0 sadly lacking in the more con- servative American bards. One Am- erican poet receftly remarked that he could distinguish a Canadian Doet"s work by ite freshness and vigor. It is this quality that will strengthen the entire verse of Am- erica even as the blasphemy of formulae by Robert Burns once strengthened the verse of Great Bri- tain. Again the parallel holds good as Wwe observe the influence of American prose on Canadian prose. From "Chien d'Or 'to "Maria Chapde- laine" our effect on America in this particular fleld has been almost negligible. On the other hand, al- most every Canadian writer of prose has been influenced to his success or failure by that really notable con- tribution from Irving to Willa Ca- ther. Again the truth is apparent, as elsewhere, of the southern pre- dilection for prose and the morth- ern passion for poetry. * . . As smoke has a more devastating effect upon an American * Beauty rose than upon a wheat fleld, so does commercialism assail more potently the frail beauty of a lyrfc than it does those pages where rhyme and rhythm are absent. A country can be commercial to the core and pro- duce great novels, but the influence of the money changers is most damning to poetry. Even painting is more adversely affected by ma- terialism than is prose, and the transplanting of many a Canadian and American artist into a more thoughtful Europe has meant a new flowering of genius. But the Ameri- can novel has but increased in power with the advancing hum of machin- ery. In the most commercial of periods it rose from James Lane utterly!

Proven directions on each package. To avoid imitations, always look for the signature of Physicians everywhere recommend it Allen to Joseph Hergesheimer and Edith Wharton. Canadian poetry is vastly superior in quality to Canadian prose because the makers of verse in Canada are less concerned with the methods of alien poets than our novelists and essayists are concerned with the craftsmanship of foreign writers, All supreme craftsmanship is influenced by environment, and to accept the dictates of another atmosphere than the one in which you move means another apostasy to true art. When the Canadian novelists know this, the day of the real Canadian novel will arrive.

Apart from accident or illness due to infection, almost all {ill-health arises from one or two reasons, The mistake that people make is in not realizing that both of these have the same cause at the root, namely poor blood. Either bloodlessness or some other trouble of the nerves will be found 'to be the reason for almost every ailment. If you are pale, suf- fering from headaches, or breathless- ness, with palpitation of the heart, poor appetite and weak digestion, the cause is almost always poor blood. If you have nervous headaches, neural- gla, sciatica and other nerve pains, the cause is exhausted nerves. But run down nerves are also a result of poor blood, so that the two chief causes of illness are one and the same. If your health is poor; if you are pale, nervous or dyspeptic, you should give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial. These pills act directly on the blood, and by enriching it give new strength to worn out nerves. Men and women alike greatly benefit through the use of this medicine. It you are weak or ailing, give Dr. Wil- Hams' Pink Pills a fair trial and you will be pleased with the beneficial re- sults that will speedily follow.
