The warm air in a room always ascends to the ceiling, and if any out- lets exist there, some of the heat is sure to escape through them. The First Floor In many a home the first-story floor is a regular cooling radiator *during the winter. The cracked and shatter- ed foundation gives the icy winds free play under the floor, and this must be very tight if it is not going to be drafty. Where there are holes in it, or where the boards do not fit closely, cold air is continually pumped into the house. This trouble can be reme- died in almost every home. If the floor is in a bad condition, it pays best to put in a new one congtructed for warmth and for easy cleaning. All defects in the foundation must be re- paired; and banking up with earth or flax straw in the fall is also wise where one wishes to economize in fuel. Shoveling some snow about the foundation will sometime suffice. The amount of fuel required for heating a home depends partly on the { "Poker id d to have this ; ticking "Poker Hand" is attached to "When yow 7 aunrraled to-day, you person who attend to the furnace.

A met A STOMACH RESTORER Good Advice From One Who Had Suffered Much Discomfort after eating, gas paing in the intestinal tract, pains .around the heart, sour rising in the throat called heartburn, are common symp- toms of dyspepsia. It is a condition often neglected until it has done per- manent harm, yet the treatment is simple. The great contributing cause to this trouble is thin blood. Good blood and plenty of it is required by the stomach to funetion properly. If the blood is thin the stomach becomes sluggish, food lies undigested, gas forms causing pains, often around the heart. Instead of getting nourishment from the blpod the system gets poison. The proper treatment is to enrich the blood, and there is no other medicine And the Poor Also!

Making the Most "Of Furnace Heat The greatest loss of heat units often takes place at the heating plant itself, Everything fs done in a big-way, They have no time for puerilities either in | 'politics or business. They have no time for platitudes. They ask for busi- | ness results'from' their leaders. The! political parties -- Conservative and Liberal--there being practically no Labor Party--are divided solely upon programs' for development. "There i8 no sign of racialism in their politics. - Indeed, strange as it| may seem, the sirongest, almost vehe- ment, supporters of the Empire and | all that it stands for are the Frecnh-! Canadians, because they realize more than anybody else that under the Brit- | ish Constitution their language and religion are safeguarded. Conseqient- ly with the existing system they re- fuse to abate one jot of the protection -- orded them by a Privy Council ap- peal, and in Quebec, alone of all the provinces, the French have refused to abolish the 'Senate. Similarly the alien immigrants from Europe, who _ by their past experience of autocracy are able to appreciate the value of British Parliamentary institutions are at one with the French. Comparison With the United States a t first sight appears all the xtraordinary because of the a pull of the 130,000,00 people of the United States, with so much capital invested in Canada, and with such an extensive anti-British propa- ganada carried on by the American Press. But the truth is that Canada enjoys under the British parliamen- tary system a folidity, a freedom and @ security from lawlessness which is clearly apparent, and which is entire- ly absent in the U. 8. "The working of the rival systems can be seen side by side and easily studied. In the United States there is an elected parliament which has ro power, no executive authority, and an _. executive which is not elected and has no responsibility. Once the President 1s chosen by the wire-pullers who se- cure his party nomination, the people of the United States have completely lost control over the eecutive govern- ment, which is in no way answerable to parliament. The man who con- cts the foreign affairs of the United tes is not elected by the people, and has no seat in parliament, and consequently foreign nations have no real represetative of the American people to deal with; they have no means of knowing whether any parti- cular proposal, when agreed to by the "Foreign Secretary, will be acoepted by " the Senate. The historic case of Wil- Bon, even as a President, concluding @ peace treaty which the Senate would not ratify, is a case which illustrates 'daily troubles of an unrepresenta: executive system.
