THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG MEIGHEN, WILLISON AND CANADA. There is an increasing demand for elgar wrappers, bank notes and post- age stamps that heralds business ex- pansion, according to Mr. Jose A. Machado, president of the Canadian Bank Note Company, who states that | in his twenty-three years of experi- ence in the bank note business he has never khown these signs to fall as indicatore of the revival of trade. Mere straws, no doubt, but they show which way the tide is setting. The geason's grain crop has created a huge pool in the west, and already the channels of trade are experienc- ing something like a freshet.. Nor is the West the only wealth producer. 'Most of the factory wheels in On- tario and Quebec are spinning, the mines are amasingly profitable and | by next year Canada will lead the world in the business of converting These are for- tunately not those evil boom-times when men lose their heads and en- compass their own downfall, They are simply days of well-being and 'prosperity, with most men minding their own business because they have a reasonably profitable busi- ness to mind. And yet there is a ery heard in the land, Meighen weeping for his children because they afe not. The Conservative ark languishes while all the good Tories join all the good Grits in pursuit of numerous If nimble shekels, In vain does the dolorous captain stand and plead with the world to take refuge in his craft from the dangers of the pre- sent and the certain deluge of to- morrow, "It ain't gonna rain no mo'," they tell him quite rudely, for hallucinations such as his deserve at least sympathy. How much more sound is 8ir John Willison's reading of the situation. In an optimistic article in the Van. couver Province he points out the changes that will come with the day, fast approaching, when the United States will cease to be a grain ex- porting country and will thereafter ingreasingly import. He foresees that this will give Canadian farm products a more commanding posi- tion than ever in world markets, with steady prices and increasing land valuef and population. The re- vival of inter-imperial preferences, which the Baldwin government is sure to institute, will yleld great ad- vantages to the dominions and such a stimulus to immigration as could proceed from no other policy. With the United Statée closed to immigra- tion and Great Britain subsidizing emigration to the dominions 'the time must come soon when the growth of population in Canada will be as great and conceivably greater than we may desire." What country in the world is or has ever been as well off, actually, potentially and prospectively as this our own Canada! EGYPTIAN DARKNESS. Thanks to the latest special des- patch from Egypt; it is now possible to explain some phases of the em- broglio with which too few could have been previously conversant. Mr. Henderson, of whom so much is expected, has been presented to King Fuad (whose attitude is to ba gonjectured) by the British High Commissioner, Lord Allenby, whose situation is more equivocal than constitutional. As the despatch so clearly shows, it 1s impossible to avoid being struck by the change which this in- troduces in the British relations with the Egyptian administration. Hitherto, the financial adviser, as we were all aware, was the only figure that counted, as will some day be revealed. But the memo- rable change which excluded him from the sessions of the cabinet council has, to a degree scarcely possible of conjecture, deprived him of his executive powers. Similarly, the judicial adviser now enjoys mo- thing but judicial and advisory powers, despite the energetic pro- tests of various foreign govern- ments. To put it plainly, it is the director-general of the European department of the ministry of the interior of the Egyptian Adminis- tration who is now the head cheese. Our grave 'alarms are dissipated by the assurance that the advice of this director-general must be re- spected by the Egyptians or he will inform the British High Commis- sioner, "who, as representing the whose right to protest for- eign 'interests in Egypt is now re- cogniged, would take action to see that his recommendations were adopted." . But any one who enjoys puzzles is advised to stick to the eross-word * 7 juvenile delinquent shall approxh| heart will beat faster, snd the mate as nearly as may be that which should be given by its parents, and that as far as possible every juvenile | delinquent shall be treated, not as a criminal, but as a misdirected and misguided child, and one meeding ald, encouragement, help and assist- ance," In & municipality in which there is a Juvenile Court, any child who commits an offence for which fine or imprisonment miight be given to an adult muet be brought before the judge of the Juvenile Court and charged not with crime but with de- linquency. violent and dangerous may be kept in police after appearing in Juvenile Court. |e The court is held either in a special | or private room or if in the police | court not until at least half an hour | after the close of the trial of adults.

The court comprises a judge (usually giving his services without remuneration) a olerk, the proba- tion officer, who is the agent of the Children's Aid Society wherever one exists, and the Juvenile Court com- mittee. It requires a court room and a detention home. The special local advantages of such a court will be that youthful offenders will be treated not as criminals. but as children who need supervision, that such supervision will follow appearance in Juvenile Court, that the magistrates and Judges will be relieved . of cases which they find most unsatisfactory to deal with in ordinary courts and that young mothers of illegitimate children can be guided and sur- rounded with care after they leave hospital instead of being thrown back into unsatisfactory and de- pressing surroundings.

The first thing to remember is that the heart beat in a youngster is much faster than in a grown per- son, and the breathing has to be fast to keep up with the heart. Why is this? Well in youngsters the lungs are | 80 fNo child unless he is| cells or prison befove or | consistently | with a due regard for the proper | administration of justice, The whole Once a child becomes a juve-_ breathing will be more rapid, in or- | der to take care of all this work. ¥ i | " And so when you read somewhere | that the heart should beat 72 to the | minute, and the breething should | { be one fourth as ofted, that is 18, | remember that this applies only to | an adult mag A woman's heart | | beats four fo eight beats faster, and | { the respirations will be more fre- | | quent.

Does a short rest refresh you? Is it true that the staggering gait of the walker at the end of the day | is caused more by loss of control than by fatigue? What is fatigue? Dr. Mosso, an Italian physician, noticed that birds which migrated from Northern Africa across the Mediterranean Sea could be found on the shores of Italy so tired that they could be captured without any difficulty. For a Jong time it was thought by the early scientists that there was a strong acid which was bullt up while we worked and would then irritate the muscle, on the same principle as liquors ferment, The "Way to rejuvenate the muscle was then to clean out this substance from the system. But this alone is not true. There is something more. Do you know why the colleges have cheéring for théir football teams? It has been proved that when a person seems absolutely exhausted, shouting en- couragement can make him do con- siderably more. Our mental attitude has a great deal to do'with fatigue. The other factors which emter into this are health, temperature, nutrition, at- mospheric pressure, hunger, thirst; ete. Experimentalists recently took a dog and permitted him to rest tho- roughly. Then another dog was taken and placed on a treadmill to run for several hours until it wae completely exhausted. The blood from the tired animal was then transfused into the body of the rested one, The latter was then made to walk and showed every sign of real exhaustion, just like the dog from which 'the blood had Deen ta- ken. Drugs have a great effect in caus- ing people to tire, while other drugs cause them to appear rested. The most prominent of the latter drugs are alcohol, caffeine (coffee), to- bacco, ete. > The big question for each person to determine for himself ie how he tires and how he best regains his energy. Some people can work for Jong stretches of time until they completely exhaust themselves. Yet those people may take days to get themselves to the point where they can work again. Others work for short stretches of time, take a very brief rest and are again ready for work, The greatest efficiency for the individual means that he can produce © the greatest number of working hours so that the problem which concerns him is not how long he can work at a stretch, but how long he can work and how long he must rest afterward. This will en- able him to determine how many actual working hours he can get from any given period of time.
