'A creamery for this part of the

Information' is being1 secured from
the Department of Agriculture

who are not__no_w_ milkiag cows
would in the near future have a

The electric power for lighting

A  certain, young   man in   this

No. 4���A Greater Use of Canadian Raw Materials
Men of all shades of political thought, and all students of economics, are
agreed (hat the interests of Canada call for a reduction in imports of arlicles
vbfch Hie. Canadian j.ieople can. product for themselves, and an increase in
the export of those products and articles of which this Dominior-. can easily
nsul profitably produce a surplus, in order that, through a combination of
these two developments, a pronounced improvement may be brought about in
the balance of trade in favor of the Dominion. It iti when Ave come to consideration of ways and means whereby sue)) a desirable and necessary change
��s to bc effected that opinions sharply differ.
One school of political thought declares that thc only effective means to
le-ssen imports and increase home production is through a protective tariff���
that is, a tariff suffleieiilly hj<-ii to either shut out foreign competition or at
Lea-fit to enable thc Canadian grofcn or manufactured article to undersell
foreign goods or a lj)<e kind.
The opposing school of thought con tends that inc. inevitable result of
BUch a tariff is lo so enhance prices as to pla.ee a handicap on articles needed
la tlio development of the country, and that thereby production at home is
lessened, a��d, while import trade may be curtailed, production for export is
likewise lowered and the buying power of the whole country reduced, and
prices so enhanced that people are forced to go without many things which
otherwise thcy would be able to purchase, and that this decreased buying
power results in depression of trade and consequent unemployment.
The. writer has no intention of taking any part in this political controversy. Whatever the effect of the tariff may be one way or the other, the
writer inclines to the view that the real difficulty'and economic weakness of
(lie- Canadian position at present is to be found in another direction.
The commercial strength of Germany before the war was found in the
Clergy displayed by Government and people in developing the natural resources of the country for use at home and abroad. The same thing is true
cf the United States. Neither of these countries imported to any extent
anything they could produce at home. It will be said that both these countries had protective tariffs and it may be argued that such tariffs were responsible for ���bringing about the result noted.     But were they so responsible?
Canada has had a protective tariff for many years, yet this* country has-
failed to develop many of its natural, resources of raw material to anything
like their full extent, and has gone on importing supplies which could have
been secured at home. For example, Western Canada has some of the largest coal deposits in the world, yet for years millions of dollars worth of coal
have, been hauled by rail and water from Pennsylvania for use in this country. While Western Canada was doing this, Germany, as a result of scien-:
tlie research work, was using greatly inferior coal to the Western Canada
ftrtlclc in thc great German factories and as fuel for its people. Ontario
lacks coal and has for decades followed the line oi least resistance ancMm-
- |ior,lecl millions of .tons .annually from- Pennsylvania. Whereas much'of On-
.-larlo's and Quebec's-industrial'fuel requirements might-have becn obtained in
Nova'Scotia brought by wafer transportation up the St. Lawrence. But
It was easier to continue to get: supplies from Pennsylvania, than-to engage in

Pilots May Be Informed of Cloud Distances by Wireless
An important development which is
being tested in London for the proposed scientific illumination for night flying airmen on the London-Paris route
is a method of finding the height of
clouds. The apparatus consists of a,
powerful searchlight for throwing ver- i
tical beams'on clouds and an especially designed theodolite, through which
to observe the clouds. The searchlight is placed at a measured distance
from the theodolite, which consists of
a telescope mounted in such a way
that the angle at which it is pointed
can be read with minute accuracy on
a special scale. It is set so that the
point where the beam enters a cloud
can be seen through the centre of the
telescope of the theodolite, with the
result that it is easy.to calculate the
height of the cloud from a known angle. It is proposed to establish this
apparatus at- stations along the airway
so as to inform pilots of cloud distances by wireless.
Franc* Is Using Internal Combustion
Motors op Railways
Experiments with internal combustion motors as traction power for
branch railroad lines in France have
been so successful that they are to be
continued on a larger scale.
Ordinary automobile motors of 40
to -60 horsepower hauled rural trains
at an average speed of 16 miles an
hour. With higher power motor better adapted to traction by rail it is
thought sufficient speed for all needs
of local and branch lines will be attained.

that it is expended to the bestof advantage. �� And right now, at the beginning bf the year, letters are coming
from thrifty housewives asking for
some suggestions as to how to divide
their incomes so as to make all
ends meet.
The income of an ordinary family,
is what is paid to the father each
week for his labor, or what he makes
from his office or store or factory.
And added to this ls such money as
the mother or the children earn by
their individual labor.
But just why should wc give our attention to planning how to spend this
Income beforehand?.    For this reason
builders of the ship are obtaining pro
visional tenders for the various parts I -because certain expenditures aro ab-

It is always wise in dividing an income -Ho make believe that one's income is less per week than It actually
is. The difference between the" imaginary income and the real income
can be set aside at once as an emergency fund or a margin of safety. This
procedure will yery often keep a.fam-
ily from running into debt when an
unexpected emergency arises.
If one's income Is twenty dolhirs per
week, about thirteen dollars and fifty
cents should be spent for food, rent
and. heat. If one's income is twenty-
five dollars per week, one might spend
a little more for these necessities, but
more for clothes, education, recreation
In different places the
division of an income differs.     Rents

ELIJAH IN NABOTH'S VINEYARD
KEEP LITTLE ONES
.WELL IN WINTER
Winter is a dangerous season for
the little ones. The days are so
changeable���one day bright, the next
cold ��ind stormy, that the mother is
afraid to take the children out for the
fresh-air and exercise they   need   so
shades are favored for the
girl. " This shell colored

type most suitable to the young miss

I. Ahab Covets Naboth's Vineyard (vv.
1-6).
���1. Location of the vineyard (v. 1).
It joined Ahab's summer home in Jez-
reel. He wanted to transform it into
an herb garden and thus round out
his property.   ; 	
2r Ahab's proposal (v. 2). He offered to buy it outright for money, or
give in exchange a better one. Ahab's
wish for it was a selfish whim. He
did not at all need it.
v 3. Naboth's refusal Cv.'3). It was
for a twofold reason: (1) Regard for
the paternal estate;, (2) Obedience to
God's law (Lev. 25:23-28, cf. Num. 36):
7-9). His refusal was on conscientious grounds. A king, even, has no
right to ask of his subject that he
violate his conscience.
4. Ahab's behavior,(v. 4). He came
into his house, lay down upon his bed
and refused to eat. The king was
sulking like a spoiled child. This is
a picture of what a fool even a king. -
may make himself. Let us learn
that "godliness with contentment is
great gain" (I. Tim. 6:6).
5. Jezebel's inquiry (vv. 5, 6). Apparently she came with the sympathy
of a wife, inquiring as to the cause ot
his behavior. But when she knew of
Naboth's refusal she was violently an
gry. That a humble subject should
refuse to conform to the desire of the
king was an insult which she would
not brook.
II. Ahab Taking Possession   of   Naboth's Vineyard.,(vv. 7-16).

Why does any healthy person want to be
kicked into wakefulness in the morning?
^Many people feel that they
have to be agitated into wake-
" fullness in the morning. They
think that, without the tea'or
coffee they take in the morning
that they will not be able to
meet the tasks and duties of the
day.
Nothing could be more false
than this reasoning/Any doctor
can tell you this, For a healthy
body does not need or require
a stimulant." It gets all the stimulant it needs from food.
The thein and caffeine found
in tea and coffee are irritating to
the heart and nervous system.
They jolt the nerves into undue
activity. The result is a reaction. This is why regular tea
and coffee drinkers think they
must have their stimulant the
first thing in the morning to
wind them up for the day.
If you will stop using tea and
coffee for a week, and drink
Postum, the pure cereal beverage instead,/it will give'Nature
an opportunity to rid the system
of the irritating, substances that
harass your nerves, upset digestion, increase your heart
action, and make you nervous
and irritable..
Many people who havo tried
Postum say that inside of a
week they wake in the morning without that "all. gone" feeling that they used to have, and
are full of energy, strength and
endurance.
