The impact was terrible, but while women got excited there 'was little contusion."

J. H. Thomas result in the upset of other organs, such as the heart, with perhaps some permanent damage. Pain fa the region of the heart does not always mean heart disease. It may be due to some heart condi: tion, but it is much more frequently caused by some condition of the stom- ach; such as improper digestion of food. Usually the first symptom of the heart's being below par is short. ness of breath on slight exertion. In old age, it is nct unusual to find that the heart is not doing its work: as well as it did. This is part of the general wearing out of the tissues, and means that life must be so regu. lated that neither at work nor at play is the heart given more to do than it can accomplish without exhaustion. Persons, young or old, who have a weakened or damaged heart, can live long lives of usefulness, providing they avoid doing such things as heavy "lifting which thro wa sudden strain -on the heart. They must also avoid those activities which cause shortness of breath or pain, always stopping im- mediately to rest when symptoms ap. pear. Exercise in the form of work or play which does not cause symp- toms is usually of benefit. The most common cause of heart disease In young people is infection. The germs which settle down im dis- sased tonsils, adenoids and teeth very often travel around the body. They may, and very frequently do, attack the heart. The heart may also suffer trom the germs and the poisons pros duced by the germs in such diseases a8 diphtheria, scarlet fever and in- fluenza. Damage to the heart fs a com- paratively common result of acute rheumatism. Syphilis is also an in-! tection which is very liable to attack the heart and blood vessels. The re" moval /of infected parts; such as dis- sased' tonsils andthe avoldance of 1n tection are the basis of the prevention of heart disease.

Like M. Briand, the Unionist leader is a keen pig breeder and finds much solace from politics on his farm, though one has never heard that his rashers have won quite the same reputation as the product raised by the French statesman. Lord Crewe, who spent many years as Ambassadcr in Paris, once con- gratulated M. Briand on the flavor of his bacon, and ever since he has re- ceived annually g---supply from the Briand abattoir. Middle-sized, stocky and well knit in figure, Mr. Baldwin does not look his years, and he enjoys sound health, His rapid rise ,beginning in a lucky combination cf circumstances Is amongst the wonders of modern politics, and few will deny that he has made good in leadership. He is gen- erally regarded as typifying the John Bull characteristics of consistency and political honesty. When he was Prime Minister no chickens came heme to roost because of embarrass ing promises or declarations made to the electorate. Virtue of this sting- ular kind is not always rewarded in politics, as Mr. Baldwin's present re- spite fro mthe cares of office proves, but electoral failure has in no way menaced his leadership, which he re- tains unchallenged, EE Little Politician--"Dont you think we should relieve the farmers?" Big Politician--"Certainly; if they have anything left." Canadian With Wilkins On Dash to Antarctic New York.--Al Cheeseman, of Win- nipeg, who was concerned in the flights of the Greater Rockford and the "Untin" Bowler, left with Sir Hu bert Wilking for Montevideo Satur- day morning, en route to Deception Island, whence an Antarctic Expedi- tion will set out in November. Cheese- man and Parker Cramer, of Clarion, Pa., will be the aviators in the party. They will make the trip from Monte- video to Deception Island in the Nor- wegiadh whaler Melville. From Decep- tion Island they will proceed to the new continent discovered last year by Sir Hubert and named by him Hearst Land. A small trawler loaned to the expe- dition by the British Colonial Service will serve as a floating base and will Be used to move supplies and extra 'equipment from Decepticn Island to a permanent base to be established at Margaret Bay. Another base will be established on Hearst Land, about 40 miles south-west of Margaret Bay and about 1,700 miles from the Bay of Whales, Sir Hubert said he hopes to spend a few days with Commander Byrd at the latter's base on the Bay of Whales. If, after preliminary flights from Deception Island, it does not appear feasible to establish bases at Mar- garet Bay and on Hearst Land, Sir Hubert said, he may attempt a non- stop flight from Deception Island to Commandér Byrd's base at the Bay of Whales.. The distance, he est! mated is about 2,300 miles. i----ys-- Signs of the Zcdiac are being used as patterns for dresses in London. Canada's Wonderful 'Waterway Nears Completion.

A. Nichol son, The arrangement for the exchange of students among the Canadian uni versities provides that there shall not be any exchange between universities near at hand There are four divi- sions, University of British Colum- bia, Universities of Alberta, Saskatch- ewan, and Manitoba, Universities of Ontario and Quebee, and the univer- sities of Ontario and Quebec, and the universities of the Maritime Prov- inces, and no exchange is supposed to be made within any of these divi- sions. ee pees. New Paralysis Serum Prevents Crippling Ottawa -- The new ccnvalescent serum used in combating infantile paralysis has been completely suc: cessful in Ottawa, Dr. George Camp- bell, of this city, told members of the local Rotary Club. "The disease has been successfully conquered in this city," Dr. Campbell declared, "and, in a general way, we can say there will be no more_crip- ples as a result of the disease. If is so startling a fact that it seems almost too good to be true," he con- tinued, "but our experience in the pat two months has been such that we can come out and state publicly that administration of a blood serum taken from those who have previously suffered frcm the disease to others taken with it, and still in the paraly- tic stage, will not only prevent death, but will likewise eliminate paralysis. This extraordinary boon to humanity has been proved here," he concluded. . ies Charlottetown, P.E.1.--The silver fox industry last year produced a rev- enue of $4,500,000, with profits exceed- ig $2,000,000. Pelts were quickly ab- sorbed by an increasing market, and new openings are occurring, not only in Canada and the United States, but in South America and Europe.

J. Kelso, "and al- though it has been printed before it is worth reprinting so that a coming generation may receive the ful bene- fit." "f give to fathers and mothers, in trust for their children, all good little words of praise and encouragement and all quaint pet names and endear- ments, to use them justly, but gener- ously, as the needs of their children shall require. "I leave to children inclusively, but only for the term of their childhood, all and every, the flowers of the field and the blossoms of the woods, with the right to play among them freely according to the customs of children, warning them at the samo time against thistles and thorns. And [ de- vise to children the banks of the brooks, and the golden sands beneath the waters thereof, and the odors of the willows that dip therein, and the white clouds that float high over the giant trees. "And I leave to children the long, long days to be merry in, pnd {he night and the moon and the train of the Milky Way to wonder at. "I uevise to boys, all the useful, idle fields and commons where ball may be played, all pleasant waters where one may swim, all snow-clad hills where one may coast, and all streams and ponds where one may fish, or where, when trim winter comes, one may skate, to hold the same for the period of their boyhood. And all meadows, with the clover blossoms and butterflies thereof; the. woods with their appurtenances; the squir- rels and the birds and echoes and strange noises, and all distant places which may be visited, together with the adventures there found. And I give the said boys each his own place at the fireside at night, with all pic- tures that may be seen in the burhing wood, to enjoy without let or hind- rance and without any incumbrance or care. oC tH A Chicagc gangster boarded a tramcar and refused to pay his fare. At the corner of the street the con- ductor pointed out the tough indi- vidual to a policeman. "That man doesn't want to pay his fare. Will you get him out of this car?" asked the conductor. The policeman took one look at the gangster. "Ill pay for him, myself," he said. Vancouver, B.C This province is producing 233,698,000 pounds of fruit a year, according to figures for the 1928 crop. This is a new record which exceeds the 1927 total by 34.28 per cent. The province's total agricultural production was valued at $58 564,243 in 1028, and of this exports amounted to_ more than $10,000,000, a gain of $1,500,000 over 1927, po ---- George N. Peck, head of the west- ern farm leaders, in an interview warded off a difficult question by means of an anedote.

"What's all that there rumpus going on out- side?" asked the proprietor of the Croydon Four Corners general store. "'"Two hoss dealers from Gumph," storekeeper, 'why don't they trade mules and now each dealer accuses the t'other one of havin' cheated him} " "That .bein' the case,' said the store- keeper, "why don't they trade back?
