THE CHANGE OF TUNE
Uuly a year ago the greatest possible
economy in the use of food stuffs—
especially those made from wheat—was
being urged upon the people of this
country, and according to the food con-
trollers there was serious danger of a
world fcod shortage amounting to fam-
ine within a few mouths.
New the Canadian Trade Cownii.ssion
is able to issue the following atatewent:
"Wheat flour can just now be au
plied in unlimited quantities at pric
favorable to purchasers, and there a
large stocks of oatmeal and rolled oa
as wall as desiccated vegetables in can
stored within the Dominion. Befor
the war Canada regularly iwporte
large quantities of beans of all sort
but owing to the very large productio
last' year there are now some two "and
half million bushels available for export.

THE WASTE BY FIRE
For a number of years Canada as
country has held the record for waste
by fire. The enormous suns into which
Our fire losses have run is due in large
measure to destructive forest fires in
British Columbia and Northern Ontario.
But the burning of buildings also runs
into large figures, so that there, too,
seems to be unpardonable carelessness.
Of late years great efforts have been
made b.y the Dominion and Provincial
Governments to lessen this waste due
to fire. A report by the Ontario Fire
Marshall is just out, and again a great
deal is charged up to ""areless .habits,"
and a gbcest c eat olnformation is given
regarding the probable origin of fires in
dwellings and barns which at the time
`are "a mystery."
One paragraph reads: "It is assumed
that 60 per cent of fires with `cause_ un-
known' in barns can be charged to the
foolishness of smoking in .them."
During 1918, the Reportsays, there
were 836 barns burned in Ontario, the
buildings valued at $677.096 and con-
tents at$416,835,—$91,000 per month
•
-fust lu this way. That would put
twelVA tawlllOs on "easy street" wish
year.
A good illuattatiott of the mysterious
origin of a hottse fire was given in a
Walkerton paper last week. It told of
the destruction by fire of a part .of Mr.
David Robertson's residences = It $y•
pears that a deposit of h it ashes had fet
tire tq the ice house. This fire was dm
covered, aud, as was eiupposed, put out
completely. .[';re continued to smoulder,
however, in some sawdust and during
the following night was fanned by a
high wind into a blaz' which ignited
the wood shed, and quickly resulted in
the destruction of • that and the ice
house. Had it not been for the prompt
action of the fire brigade the residence
would have been destroyed by afire of
mysterious origin.
Fire in sawdust, straw, waste paper,
rags aid such material is much harder
to extinguish completely" than the in:
experienced person would suppose;- ti
fact which accounts for many a serious
loss.
THE BIG CITY
Last week our daily papers contained
'l'homtoon, a l,i•; f;erman t; tciaycr, •'f.

That doesn't look very "progressive"
nor "American," does it' 'Then what
does it mean voting for a '`wet" Chicago
-that ii`fbc open saloons—when the
state of Itlineise in _which Chicago is
located has state prohibition, and when
an am; ndinent to the Constitution of
the United States a provides that the
whole country shall be ,under prohib-
•
ition after •t tat of Mayl
Another question which will puzzle
the Canadians is: Why did the people
of Chicago re-elect a notoriously pro -
German mayor when the American
people are__ worked up -.to such a high
pitch of loyalty to Americanism and so
bitterly hateful of Germany and all its
work?
The two questions may be answered
in this ways Though the LJ aitedr States
tie a whole favors prohibitionthere are
spots that are opposed; and though the
country "lis a whole is, enthusiastically
American. there are spots where it is n
not American. w

a large,,,Italian p )pulation and many
other foreigners of low type.
These varlou3 nationalities (:gym"ricin
on paper only) ail have votes, and de-
cide the elections. So when we read of
Chicago voting "wet," in spite of state
and federal prohibition, we inast re-
member that it is not Americans who
do this but these Germans, Austrians,
Italions,, Poles• and anti-British Irish.
If a city made up of such elements were
located in Europe instead of in the
United States we should -not be surpris-
ed at the, result; and we need not be
surprised at it on this side of the At-
lantic. ° Chicago is not American, but a
number of bits of darkest Europe.
It is in cities such as Chicago that
politics be'iomes a fine art. The clean,
public spirited man has no. chance at all
of acquiring (Jfli-e. Men there are in

OLD BILL, BERT ANC ALF, THE THREE FAMOUS
CARTOON CHARACTERS OF CAPTAIN BRUCE
BAIRNSFATHER, ARE FAMOUS THE WORLD OVER
IN " THE BETTER 'OLE " THEY ARE BROUGHT TO
LIFE IN THE MOST WONDERFUL MOTION PICT -
U PE OF THF. WAR.
THE
secret of the story's wonderful fascination is its
close and true analysis of the spirit which animates
the men- in the trenches, that spirit which keeps them
cheerful under conditions almost indescribable. The army
is full of Old Bills, Berts and Alfs with their sorrows and
pleasures pleasures that make the very word seem a
mockery but true reflections of what the daily life of the
boys has been "over there." "The Better 'Ole" will do
more than raise a laugh, and dim the eyes with tears at
the pathos so piquantly drawn. It will make the p le at
home understand as never before whythe �°P
great war was
fought to a hitter finish - and how much is`31ue to the Berts
and- ficlutd Ofd Rills who stood as a living wall ofro-
tection for the people at home. ' P
