- . EVERY DAY LIVING A WEEKLY TONIC by Dr. M. M. Lappin Detspito the thieatonings of war, (bere la a growing mind toward peace in the world today. Of course, â- militaristic and pacifists alike some- times advance extravagant argu- ments in favor of their own particu. lar view. But the fact is, the peace and war issue is one of the gi-eatest Issues in the modern worJd and ev. eryljody is thinking about it more or less. A correspondent wrote to me the other liay asking: "How can we pos- sibly expect nations to live at peace •with each other when it seems ab- solutely impossible for individuals to do su? Every family has its squabbles and the closest of friends quarrel occasionally'', my friend wrote, and tiien went on to cite instances from his own fanllly. Now, on the face of it, theie does seem to be the germ of a perfectly reasonable argument there â€" an argu- ment against the possibility of peace which to say the least, seems feas- ible. But if my correspondent had only taken time to think deeply enout'i, he might have seen that it is rather a foolish argument when it is probed into. Think of it this wayâ€" there is no reason why people should be ex- pected to see eye to eye with each other in everyt<hing just because tate has decreed that they should be born into the same tumily. Children of the .•<ame parents often, indeed al- ways. Lave physical differences, and they are naturally mentally different also. It is fooli&h lu imagine that, simp y because they have been born born of the same parents they have therefoio been physically and ment- ally cast in the same mold. Very naturally, they diiler iu thought and in outlook even although they may have many things in comauou. And that is exactly as it should be. Nor is that any obstacle to living harmon- iously together. At least, it ought not to be. After all, we must be willing sure- ly to recognize that, agreement does not necessarly mean seeing eye to eye with each other in everything. That is a point that is often overlook- ed. A,?reement means, rather, each party to the agreemont conceding to each other of the other parties to tOie agreement, the rigiht to his own op- inion, conviction, and point of view. We can onfy be iu agreement when everybody agrees to give everybody else freedom to carry on his own af- fairs iu his own way and as he oliinkj best. Remembering that, there is one thins that would help us to attain to tho ideal of peace quicker than anything else, and it is the all round adoption of the spirit of tolernace and ivon-iiiterfcrence in the private af- fairs of the other fellow. Iu other words, the old motto "Live and let Live", even if It is a bit trite and time worn, is a good one. It is one that we need to practice in family, social, religious, commercial, political and international life. It is just wonderful how tar the practical application of it would take us. At all events, the world would be a much better place to live in if only we would all learu to obey that New Testament injunction which bids us "Study to be quiet, and mind your own business". Unique Display At The C.N.E. The Men of the Trees organization has a very interesting booth thi.- year at the Canadian National Ex- hibition, at the West end if the sec- ond floor, West annex to Coliseum, in the group including educationai and handicrafts exhibits, which you are very cordially invited to visit. The booth contains a very valuable collection of beautiful photographs of British, tropical and American trees, which were first shown by the parent society in London, Eng- land â€" the exhibition being opened by General Lord Ailenby; also an in- teresting set of photographs of Ont- ario trees, which are particularly beautiful and historically interesting. There is also attractive posters which have been kindly lent by the For- estry Department of the Province of Ontario. All those who love trees, and those who are interested in planting them for beautifying Canada as well as for food, fruit and nuts, are cordi- ally invited to become members of The Men of the Trees, and to learn more about the organization at the booth at the Canadian National Ex- hibitipn^ where otiicers of the or- ganization are in attendance and welcome you cordially to the exhibit. Founded in 1922 by Richard St. Barbe Baker, The .Men of the Trees is an international society of tree lovers. In England, the chairman is Colonel Sir Francis Younghusband, K. C. S. I., supported by Field Marshal Viscount .â- KUenby. G. C. B.. the Rt. Hon. Lord Clinton, Colonel R. E. Cronipton, R. E., C. B.. Lady Georgina Mure, Sir John Stirling Ma.xwell, Bt, William Taylor, Esq., Professor R. S. Troup, F. R. S., and many others of international reput- ation. The Honorary Secretary is Mrs. Guy Winfleld, 32 Warwick Road, London, S. W. 5. the Honorary Treasurer, the Honorable Mrs. Grant Duff, 16 Mulberry Walk, London, S. W. 3. The movement has made steady progress during the past eight years, with the result that the Men of the Trees have gathered to themselves thinking people throughout the world, who recognize that the art of forestry and the creation of a uni- versal tree-sense is essential to the progress and well-being of mankind. The Men of the Trees is a volun- tary organization to plant and pro- tect trees; to encourage Arbor Days and ceremonial tree planting as liv- ing memorials; to support legislat- ion to develop forests and parks and tree protection; to advocate living Christmas trees rather than ruthless slaughter of our forests; to visit famous trees, forests and gardens; to hold meetings and exhibits of tree paintings, photographs with com- petitions, lectures and broadcasts. Mr. Fred E. Robson, 'JOi! Yonge St., is President of the Ontario Branch.

I â€" Abraham Lincoln Gruber. A few years ago Dr. Leslie A. Chambers read tome paper.s before t.!ie American A.Msociation for the Adancement of .Science on the effect of 'iitra-sounds on milk â€" sounds so very high that no ear can hear them. . The sounds killed bacteria â€" shook Them to death. Thus was ti'ie milk sterilized. i At last wtek'a meeting of the Am-- erican Dairy Association in Minnea-' poll; Dr. Chambers told of new, e.x-i traortlinary resells which he obtain-' ed when he flowed a thin siieet of milk over a heavy steel diaphragm | made to vibrate electrically and hum audibly. The lowest note had the same pitch as the middle F-.s.^iarp on a piano and the highest a pitch three , octaves above. { When milk is swallowed it eacoun- â-  ters the acids of the stomach. Re- sult: it curdles. Even a normal, ileal-' thy stomaclf has some difficulty in breaking down the hard curds. Dr. Chambers found that milk which had: flowed over his singing diaphragm: was more easily digestible. Its curds were soft, and so the pepsin of the stomach could act upon them readily.^ Soon we may read advertisements, proclaiming the virtues of F-sharp milk for babie; and adults with weak' stomachs. : MAN- OH man!

How true is i! that a migiity intel- lect is lodged behind a high forehead? Dr. .\les Brdlicka of the National Museum who has been measuring heads for thirty years â€" Indians, Egyptians. />.ierican and European whites, Negrues and Eskimos â€" is able to answer. Among iiis whites were members of the National Academy of Sciences â€" unquestionably brain work- ers of high standing. ir the height of .he forehead Is any index of brain activity and grade, some material difference should cer- tainly appear in the dimensions be- tween old intellectually backward American hip'.ilauders of Northeast- ern Tenessee and the Academicians. Dr. Hrdlicka could detect none. This was also true of old Americans at large, old .-Vnuriian memhers of the Academy and members of the Acad- emy regard:es . of nationality. There is only on,. possible conclusion, â- â€¢which is that the lowness of heigiit of the forehead in norma! human be- ings does not express or have any re- lation to the kind of brain that it tielps to harbor. " Nor is the high forehea.l a mark of racial superiority. Hrdlicka's old white Americans at large -- a tine stockâ€" stand at the foot of the tourj .aroups that he studied. Indians, Ne- gros and Eskimos all surpass them. | It there is any trutft in the belief j that a high forehead indicates great mental power the Eskimos ou.cht to be Einsteins. They surpass all the whites. Indians and Negros that Dr. Hrdlicka measured. 1 To add to the discomfort of those j who still believe in phrenology. Dr. 1 Hrdlicka found that the lowest brows! of all were tnose of a groiip ot Ar- , menians, among the shrewdest tradesmen in the world. Agricultural Research Dictionaries define "research" as a critical examination in search ot facts or principles. Fact-tindmg re. search is a scientific study tor tiie discovery of fact-; and fundamental research is a scientific enquiry into relationships, principles and causes. In many complex agricultural prob- lems the two types of research are closely associated, and the distmct- ion in many cases cannot easily be drawn. The term "agricultural re. search," as commonly employed in Canada, embraces the wide tield of scientific investigation from fact- finding experiments on the one hand to fundamental researoh on the other "The easy things in agricultural re. search have largely been done," Dr. J. M. Swaine. Director of Research, Dominion Department ot Agriculture, told the 15th convention ot the Can- adian Society of Technical -Agricul- turists at Edmonton, Alberta. They were now faced, he said, wltih a grea- ter percentage of the more complex and more difficult problems which fact-iinding research has failed, and will forever, fail to solve. There were new prtjblemsâ€" possibiliUes disclos- ed as a result or recent researchesâ€" with many of whicii fundamental re- searches In both field and laboratory are urgently required. The great ben- efits that have resulted from funda- mental research, iu tho field and In the laboratory, and tie evident need tor more Investigation ot this type iu connection with many agricultural problems today were ample justifi- cation for placing special emphasis upon it. The problems with which Canada was faced would require all its resources for agrieultural re- search. Mother â€" Take that dress off right away ! Daughterâ€" Why?

I A calf has eig.ht small teeth in the^ jaw at birth. When 15 or 18 months , old the two large central incisors I make their appearance. At 2 1-4 to^ 2 1-2 years the next permanent teeth show up. The third pair will be re-] placed at about tihree years, and at. four years the cow has il< mouth full! of permanent Incisors. | With advancing age, the teeth | wear down and become loose, and spaces show between them. This makes it more dillicult each year lor the animal to maintain condition, even on good grazing, and uecessi-| tates more liaiul feeding. The teeth may wear right down to the gums^ without falling out. But should they loosen, they are best drawn, and the cow hand-fed until the gums harden. A rough and ready metihod ot com- pnting age is sometimes adopted. The rings on the horn ot the cow are counted, and it is estimated that the animal has had a many calves as there are rings. i CROPS THAT ARE SOIL IMPROVERS Enriching- The Farm Without Riibbing The Soil Farmtrs who ilo not have a regu- lar crop rotation and do not include tjhe leguminous crops (clovers and alfalfa) are not going to succeed. The adverse influences upon clover are lack of drainage. Kick ot lime and soil acidity. Much waste goes on where high priced clover seed is put into land so sour that clover bacteria cannot thrive. Farms in this condi- tion rapidly decline as thty are de- nied the medium that would enrioli them and their owners. Alfalfa has somewhat a similar his- tory; the only difference between them Is that clovers are suitable for short rations and alfalfa fits in wiiere longer rotations are necessary. But like clover, alfalfa will not grow on a wet soggy soil or on a soil that has a hard pan under the surface for 3 or 4 feet with underwater undrained away. Alfalfa eaiinot be grown upon a soil that is dciicient in iime .ir mat upon which cannot be grown any other crop or wJiere there is insuf- ficient fertility. The roots ot alfal- fa and clover fill the soil with organ- ic matter, improving the condition ot the soil and sub-soil. Their roots of- ten penetrate down to the distance of eight feet in their search for food. Clovers alfalfa and all leguminous plants are soil improvers; tiie more they are grown the better the land will be where they are grown thus contributing to the buiiding up of the rest of the farm. They are dual pur- pose plants, they feed idle ;oil and the cow in the barn at the same time. Tho Winter killing of clover is lar- gely climatic, but much of its evil ef- fects can be overcome by under-drain- ing and liming, and getting land In fertile shape to resist the climatic condition. Winter killing ot clover does not however effec^ its utility as a soil improver when plowed under. "1 have nothing to fear nom any- one.' â€" beniio Mussolini.
