There are a large number of people who seem to think that touring around in a motor car provides sufficient exer- cise for the average person. This is a mistake, but motoring has certain advantages. It detracts the mind from domestic cares and worries, and takes people out of doors in the fresh air. I In every effort directed to improve- mem-t of the public health and well- belng, the question of out-door exer- cise must be taken into account. No matter What preventive measures are taken against disease, the physical condition of the individual, whether adult or child. is not kept in perfect condition if healthy exercise out-of- doors is not indulged in. If our bodies were empty of air the pressure of the atmosphere surround- ing us would crush us to pulp. vauon ?"

One man in every 2,200 is fatally hurt by an ac- cident on land; on the ocean only one person in 22,000 suffers accidean death. A passenger in an ordinary railroad car is- much safer than at home, be- cause he is sitting still and few things can happen to him.

The old beiief that rheumatism Wes caused by cold, damp weather, is now exploded. Such weather conditions may start the pains, but it is not the cause. Linim-ents and outward appli- cations may give temporary relief, but that is all they can do because they do hot reach its sources in the blood. The sufferer from rheumatism who experi- ments with outward applications is only wasting time and money in de- pending upon such treatment; the trouble still remains, and it is all the time becoming more firmly rooted. Treat this disease through the blood and you will soon find relief. Dr. Wil- iiams’ Pink Pills act directly on im- pure weak blood; they purity and strengthen it. and so act on the cause of the rheumatism. Mr. P. J. Mac- Ph-erson, RH. No. 5, Cardigan, P.E.I.. lays: "About three years ago I was attacked with rheumatism. I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and soon the trouble disappeared and I am in better health than before. I also know of an old lady acquaintance who was badly crippled with rheu- matism in her arms and legs, and who suffered very much. She, too, took Br. \Villiams' Pink Pills and is now able to do her housework. I tell you this in the hope it may be of benefit to some other sufferer." You can procure Dr. Williams' Pink Pills through. any dealer in medicine or they will be sent you by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 by writing direct to The Dr. Wflliame’ Medicine 00..

But what- ever the form of exercise taken, the transportation and too little about walking. This necessary and impor- tant measure towards the health of the people should 'be fostered and re- commended daily in the public press. The papers that continually oflened such important advice would gain,i favor with all progressive people. The, great advantage of walking as an ex- ercise is that it can be done at any time of the year and in practically all kinds of weather. At the last Dominion census, 393,320 persons gave their nationality as Ger- mans: 129,103 Austm-Hungarians; 107,535 Scandinavians; 75,861 Jewish; $4,988 Dutch; Italian, 45,411; Austrian 142,535: Russian, 43,142; Polish. 33,- 1365; Galician, 35,158; Ruthenian, 29,- ‘845; while smaller numbers came from the countries bordering on the Mediterranean sea. Many Foreign Western Colonies. Taking them in order of importance we find that the Germans, as a rule,‘ gravitate towards Northern Ontario Land the Western provinces. They keep to themselves very much and have es-‘ bablisihed many fine and well-to-do communities. In Saskatchewan and Manitoba many prosperous farming centres have been established by Ger- mans. Around the towns of Morden, Winkler, Glencross, in Manitoba, and Kaiser and Vonda, in Saskatchewan, large colonies of German farmers have been founded. Austrians and Hun- garians, whose mede of living and language are very similar, frequently settle near German communities. A large number of both Austrians and Germans work in the coal mines of Southern Alberta and the gold and silver mines of British Columbia. l The number of European foreign- born in Canada in 1911 was given by the Canada Year Book as 404,941, or 5.62 per cent. of the entire population. It is interesting to know that at the time this census was taken the num- ber of foreign-born Europeans in Canada exceeded the number of Ameri- can born in this country by 101,261, or 1.41 per cent. of the entire popula- tion of Canada. Since these figures were complied, European immigra- tion, owing to the war, has dwindled to practically nothing. and as a re- sult the number of Americans who emigrated to this country since then have so swelled the ranks of their compatriots already here, that the pre- sent census will undoubtedly show a much larger number of American than European foreign-born in Canada. In view of the inflow of foreign im- migrants to Canada from Europe dur- ing the fiscal year 1920-1921, which amounted to 26,153, it is of interest to note the origin and destination of those who have already settled in this country during thepaet decade. These new colonists are mainly agriculturâ€" iets, and on landing in Canada proâ€" ceed to various districts throughout the country where their friends or re- latives are already located.

They also planted an increased acreage in grain crops in order to relieve the food situation and in many other ways displayed their good citizenship.

If We study the lives of great men, we shall find that they pass through periods of discour- agement, and that those periods are what make their lives fruitful. We can find comfort in the thought that, just as the trees and the shrubs must be chilled if they are to flourish and bear fruit, so the sorrows, disappoint- ments and hardships that come to us make our liVes bloom with moral beauty and become fruitful in worthy achievement; So when we see the trees on the lawn braving the zero weather we need not pity them, for they are pass- ing through an experience that is neces- sgry if they are to bear fruit next year. You can see how necessary the cold is to a plant if you will make the fol- lowing experiments. Take a fruit tree or a shrub and put it into the green- house as soon as the sap has ceased to run, but before really cold weather has come. Then‘ cut a hole in the wall of the greenhouse, thrust a part of the plant through the opening, and leave it exposed to the weather. The part that has been subjected to the cold will blossom profusely in the spring and bear fruit in its season; the part that has been kept in the warm greenhouse will do neither. Nature has the next generation ever in mind. So every tree or shrub that becomes dormant has stored away an ample supply of food. The food is usuale in the form of starch, which must be converted into sugar before it is fit for the plant to use, To convert the starch into sugar organic sub- stances known as enzymes. which are found in various cells of the plant, must come into contact with it. Chill- ing or freezing breaks down the walls of the food cells and allows the enzy- mes to reach the starch and turn it in‘ to sugar. The Value of Being Chilled. Most plants that grow in a, cold cli- mate must be chilled before they can bear fruit. A tree. however, does not become dormant merely because cold weather has arrived, but rather be- cause the time has come for it to rest.
