Noting these facts, the Win- ’ - „ - nipeg “Manitoba Free Press” remarks Bussell Hill, Norwood, Ont,, says: THE ONLY MEDICINE |j8p^Sag5^e BABY HAS HAD Continued earthquakes in Japafi add the f-eas surrounding the island; iempire have frightened away many’ I of the 11 sh depended* upon by the Jap-j Gontb1^ p c<mJjt Is Whnt Thousands of Mothers >nm for most of their food supply,’ ites most to tho increase trf Canada’s ~ .............._ ......... -o.jk. A-JI’p on the flow of population between the United States and Canady that: “From the United States, however, returned to. Canada to stay, after a residence south of the line of six months or more, 87,990 former Can­ adians, o whom '32,768 were natives o this country, 3,663 British subjects ormerly domiciled here, and natural­ ized Canadians, formerly resident, 1,562. “As is pretty generally knpwn, the countries of Europe are divided for immigration purposes by the depart­ ment into two classes, known as pre­ ferred and non-preferred. The pre­ ferred countries are the Scandinavian, Belgium, and Holland. These also show a smaller number of newcomers than the southern on non-preferred' countries. The turn largest blocks of immigration in therperiod in question come from the non-preferred coun­ tries, the largest quotas being Ru- thenian and German respectively. The figures for these are 6,639 of the for­ mer and 6,294 of the latter.” The next two largest totals, this newspaper points out, are also from non-preferred countries, namely, Portugal and Poland, both furnishing a total of 3,686. The figure from the former country appears unusually large, it is said, and no record is available at the local immigration offices of any of these people going through Winnipeg. We read then: “Nor are any Portuguese colonies known tn. the West. From Northern Europe, Finland supplies 2,624, Nor­ way 1,672, Sweden 1,550, Belgium 1,- 428, and Holland 1,127. France pro­ vided 340, or around 9,000 only from the preferred countries' of the Con­ tinent. “From the non-preferred countries, apart from the figures given, there were 3,092 Slovaks, 1,649 Jugo-Slavs, 1,269 Italians, 323 Magyars, 660 Serbs, 792 Croats, 604 Lithuanians. Jews to the number of 7,792 came tp Canada this summer, and a sprink­ ling of leaser races contributed an odd settler or so; such as 130 Assyr­ ians, 40 Armenians, 17 Maltese, not to mention one Korean and one Mex­ ican. “It seems to be quite apparent from the figures quoted above that the harder it is for people of a race to come to Canada the more willing they are to make the effort to come here. As these figures cover the months in the fiscal year in which the greatest immigration enters the country, it is improbable that the twelve-month period will show any alteration in the percentages.” Say of Baby’s Own Tablets. I Once a mother has used Baby’s Own ! Tablets for her little ones she will use nothing else. Experience teaches her that they are without an equal for re­ lieving baby of any of the many minor ailments which afflict him at one time or another. The Tablets' never fail to bo of benefit—they cannot possibly do harm as they aro guaranteed to be free from all Injurious drugs. Concerning Baby’s Own Tablets Mrs. :—“I shall always have a good word to say for Baby’s Own Tablets. I have given them to our baby girl. In fact they are the only ir^ediclne she has ever had to say that she took declare exporters on Pacific coast," who have received cable orders to? rush canned, smoked and pickled her-' ring, salmon and even whale meat to’ the Orient, I Catches of llsh by Japanese fleets I have fallen off this winter at an alarming rate, so much so as to cause tho United States Government to sus­ pect that the herds of fur seals har­ bored by Uncle Sam in the Bering Sea rookeries had something to do with the scarcity.

Ahpwhen I read of Scotland The heather and the broom, I think with gentle whimsy Of Grandmither, to whom There never was a fairer sight Than Scottish braes in bloom. For Grandmither was Scotland born As she was Scotland bred; Though to a distant land she came To Jive when she was wed. No other country could bO home To Grandmither, "she said. She sang to me old songs about Clan Cameron’s brave.men; Of pibroch sounding from afar On mountain and in glen; Of highland hills and lakes she loved And should not see again. Borno day, it may be, there will come The chance for me to roam— View Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, Many a famous dome, Most I ehall thrill at Scottish braes Like Grandmither come home. —Alice Lawry Gould. Garnets in Canada. The gurnet is usually looked upon as a prealous stone but the quantity used as gems is very small in comparison with that used for abrasive purposes, according to the Department qf Mines, at Ottawa. There are several deposits Of abrasive garnet in Canada. In On­ tario, a good type of garnet is being produced from a rich vein near Ban­ croft, and a promising dbpoeit of larger extent but lower garnet content at Parry Sound has been well prospected and Will probably be an economic pro- , ducer. Near Sudbury, there is another promising exposure about fifty feet i ,Tv.lde and traceable for a considerable d-lstanoe. At Chegoggin Point, near I Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, a 35-foot dike with a garnet content of approximately 40 per cent outcrops on the sea shore Mfi has been traced inland fov'aeveral, r mfles.

United States Crime Bill. Crime, indirectly and directly, costs the United States, approximately $13,600,000,000 a year, according to estimates made by. Mr. Mark O. Prentice, in the Manufacturers’ Re­ cord. Air. Prentice is organizer of the National Crime Commission, an unof­ ficial body seeking to determine the causes of U. S. crime. Ho points out that the yearly eco­ nomic losses due to crime in the United States exceed the total of the, European debt to the United States. The present criminal class in the United States, according to him, now numbers some 2,000,600 people. If gambling, vice and violation^f, the Prohibiiton laws were counted* in, he estimates that they would add another $5,000,000,000 to the total of $13,000,000,000.

Eliza Villemaire lives at 432 St. Patrick Street, Ottawa. She is ruddy and'robust, showing no signs of the distressing ordeal she wen t through for three years. “No tvords can ex­ press what I suffered,” she said re­ cently. “At times I thought myj^ack must break, and I could not even etoop over to set the table. “My stomach was just as bad, for food would lie there like a lump of lead. I used to bloat terribly, and at times could hardly catch my breath. Nervousness kept me awake half tho night. I tried many remedies and treatments but tfiough I spent a small fortune on them, nothing seemed to help me. “I only wish I had taken Tanlac when my trouble first started for it certainly would have saved me a lot of suffering. The way my troubles dis­ appeared after taking it was almost magical. It built me up and made mo a new woman. Now my kidneys never bother me, I am free from all pain and my digestion is splendid. If I had my way I’d put Tanlac in every home in Canada. That’s how much I think about it.” Don’t neglect nature’s warnings.

Socialism is not a remedy: It is- a disease—and a mortal disease. It is not a cure: it is a canker and a curse. It is not a, medicine, but a poison that puj’dlyr.es and benumbs initiative and robs a man of all that gives aest and motive to activity. Socialism is not u prescrip­ tion; it is a death-warrant, and it deals out no healing and no happiness, but misery and decay.
