"On returning from France, after three years service over there, I was bo run. down and weak I could hardly work.

The mirage of inflation never lasts long. Suddenly it vanishes and reveals the desert, "Keep your heads," says General A Dying Island Canada s Need. No. 1���Population In this, thc first of a scries of articles cleali-ig with some of Canada's outstanding needs as it enters the new year, first attention is g-iven to the subject of population, because, after all, thc provision of many other needs and the solution of most national problems hinges upon the question of people. Some people may challenge the statement that population is Canada's most pressing need. Pointing out that there is much unemployment at the present time, some may argue that wc already have more people than wc can adequately provide for, and that all efforts at immigration should cease. Others may contend that more important than population is thc righting of certain social wrongs and the raising of the moral and religious life of the nation. There is, of course, room for argument, but thc writer would S'tibr.ut that before "any country can amount to anything, and before there can be increased employment and a- high standard fn life, there must bc an adequate population to make these things possible. Churches, banks, factories, railways, and so forth, do not make a country. It is people who make a nation. Without population any land will remain a wilderness, but with people, and only with, by and through people can a barren land be made anything else but barren. Along with the New Year, Canada gets a new national administration. Among the big problems which- will confront the new Prime Minster, his cabinet and the new Parliament, not one exceeds in magnitude and importance the question of largely augmenting the population of the Dominion by the introduction of the right class of immigrants. Fortunately, the whole country is beginning to realize this fact, and cast and west a growing public demand is being voiced for the adoption of a wise but vigorous and persistent immigration policy. The immigration portfolio in the new Government calls for the biggest, brainiest, most aggressive man, that Mackenzie King can call to his cabinet. The task confronting such a minister is a hard one, but the man who tackles it in earnest and keeps at it will not only make a lasting n-tme for himself, but will confer benefits on Calllda which cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents alone. The new Government is pledged to adopt policies and enact laws designed to bring ;about areturn of prosperity to'this Dominion", to keep our. factories busy and, generally, to provide ample employment for all'-citizens. 7 The. basic stone, in the .construction; of the .national'edifice of prosperity is population���people settled on-the vacant lands of Canada, people tp work in the development pf our vast, wealth of raw natural resources, people who will create traffic 'for"our national railways, people who will help to divide the load of taxation and thus make it easier for all." -. 7 - - - 7 There", are. hundreds of thousands of-'prospective^'emigrants in the countries of Europe.

The Aftermath of War Nations Have Common Enemy to Fight Against In a great war the nations involved fight first against one another. But, after the war is over, they all have another war to flglit too. In this second war they are all on one side; the enemy is common to all. Whether they, now squabble or agree among themselves, whether they keep up their previous groupings, or all fall sourly apart, or all help one another in some sort of tacit confederation, they all must have it out with War herself in hex new incarnation as poverty, misery, disappointment and disillusion.

Recently the formejr Foreign Secretary paid a visit to an old brick house in Lower Seymour Street, \V., which might bo called a house of miracles for here he and many other people suffering from serious ailments have received benefit from a new system of treatment invented by Martin Sherwood. It is understood that Mr. Sherwood has discovered a method of treatment which has revolutionized former practice and has been efficacious in cases, hitherto considered incurable, of blindness, deafness, paralysis and other complaints. Mr. Sherwood, who employs electricity in parts of his treatment, is anxious to obtain abundant confirmation of the success of his system before he announces its character, as he is aware that he may be faced with strong criticism from members of the regular medical profession. Viscount Grey has been receiving treatment from Mr. Sherwood for about six months. While his eyesight has not yet completely recovered, it is probable that eventually it will be quite good, and he will have little difficulty in reading.

WHY BEAUTY FADES A Condition Due Entirely to Poor, Watery Blood The girl who returns home from school or from work thoroughly tired out will be fortunate if she escapes a physical breakdown, because this getting tired so easily Is probably the first warning symptom of a thinning blood that must not be disregarded if her health is to be preserved. " When the blood becomes thin and Impure the patient becomes pale, haggard and angular. She not only tires out easily but suffers from headaches, palpitation of the heart, dizzy spells and a loss of appetite. This condition will go from bad to worse, if prompt steps are not taken to increa.se> and enrich the blood supply.

Have you ever taken marketing seriously? Of course every woman who keeps house has to buy provisions. But too many women run into the nearest store at the last moment and buy anything at all for the meal. This is the most expensive way of doing one's marketing. Much time and labor and anxiety are saved if the meals are planned on paper for at least a few days ahead. Then one knows just what shall be needed. Potatoes, rice, winter vegetables, canned goods and things that do not spoil easily may be purchased at one time and then set aside. Fish when it is fresh spoils easily and it is best to shop for this at the last moment or if it is purchased in advance, it must be covered with 0 sufficient cracked ice to keep it. But In ��� marketing' for anything it is best to go to the store yourself. Select for yourself the article you desire to purchase and inquire Its price. Allow yourself sufficient time to visit other stores and inquire the price of a similar article. It. is only by careful comparison of quality and weight or measure and price that we may know which shop is really the cheaper. You aro entitled to all the trimmings of the piece of meat' you buy.

The work was, perhaps, most vigorously pressed in the west where the Dominion Forestry Branch collects seed for its own forest nurseries and for the Forestry Commission of Great Britain, but, to a greater or less extent, it was done ln all the provinces, either by government or private Individuals. This is a hopeful sign in regard to forest conservation. MANY CHILDREN SICK HOW TO TREAT THEM Calgary Has Dahlia Show Some of Blooms Entered Measured Eight Inches In Diameter Calgary gardeners have demonstrated . that the pessimistic prophets - of twenty years ago were lacking In vision in respect to certain flowers, such as dahlias. The first dahlia show has just been held In the city and nearly 2,000 blooms,were entered. . Some of these were from six to eight inches in diameter and the hues were particularly vivid and. gorgeous.

Zarephath was at the west side of Palestine, near the Mediterranean Sea, in Gentile territory, in order, to reach this place Elijah had to cross the country from the Jordan to the sea. Zarephath was only a few miles from the home of Jezebel's father. This, no doubt, was. a trial to Elijah. (2) Sustained by a "widow (vv. 10-12). VBring a little water and a .morsel of bread," was the request which he made of the widow. This, no doubt, was a great trial to her, but God.had touched her heart and stirred up faith In her. Her reply reveals: her deep distress. , (3) Elijah's reply (v. 13). This.made plain to her that It was a1 case of- mutual Interest to do as the Prophet said. " The barrel of meal shall-not waste; neither shall the cruse of oil fall." (4) The widow's.obedience (v. 15). "She did according to the sayings of Elijah; and she and her house did eat many days."

It matters not whether she was brought up in the surroundings of a city and in affluent home, and was dressed appropriately with reference to the demands of modern life, or whether she wore tlie old time cap and great round spectacles and apron of her own make, and knit your socks with her own needles, seated by the broad fireplace, with great black logs ablate on a winter night. It matters not how many wrinkles crossed and recrossed her face, or how much her shoulders, stooped with the burdens of a long life, if you painted a Madonna hers would be the face. What a gentle hand she had when we were sick, and what a voice to soothe pain, and was there any one who could so fill up a room with peace and purity and light? And what sad a da}-- that was when we came home and she could greet us not, for her lips were forever still. We certainly are blessed with an unusual number of bright little boys in this coiiimunity. Little tots just starting on life's journey. They stand upon the threshold of life with foot uplifted aud hand outstretched read}r to begin the journey, and happy in anticipation of the beautiful and wonderful things they expect to see. To them all is bright and promising, no thought of evil crosses their minds; their imagination clothes everything with rainbowhues. They little think that every rose has its thorn, every pleasure its corresponding grief. They are eager to be off. The path is narrow and on either side are yawning precipices which threaten to engulf them at every step; numerous and enticing : by-paths seek to lure them from the narrow 'way that leads them to safety and honour. Here it is that the counsels.of christian mothers take root in their hearts, and their saint-like faces will go before them on their journey, guiding stars whose gleams cannot be extinguished, no matter how hard the stprms of temptation.may 'beat'upon them.
