Dis­ tances are great and means of com­ munication none too good. Climatic conditions are favorable,” This was the interesting statement made by Col. F. C. Shelmerdine, tho recently] __ ___ appointed director of civil aviation in [ cnea merely India, in the course of an address de­ livered to the Air League of India at Karachi, surveying the position of aviation in this country. The speaker described the air routes in India which would be of the greatest benefit to the general community and offered the best chances of commercial success, and discussed the essentials needed for their development. Until a short time ago there was a good deal of mystery surrounding the Government of India’s intentions on the subject of the development of civil flying in this country. That mystery was largely dissipated by the recent report of the Indian Air. Board, ela­ borating its proposals for assisting private enterprise to start commercial aviation services, and now from Col­ onel Shelmerdine the public has ob­ tained a clear idea of the lines along which the Government proposes work. 0 In the opinion of the director, if a re­ gular weekly service could be provid­ ed from Europe or Egypt to Karachi, extensions from Karachi to belhi and to Bombay should be of great value ■ for the carriage of mails and passeng­ ers. Even with a weekly service running only from Egypt, a saving of seven days between London and Karachi can be effected, and with ex­ tensions to Delhi and Bombay there v/111 be a saving of six days in the case of Delhi and four in the case of Bom­ bay. From Calcutta to Rangoon, accord­ ing to the speaker, air transport would show a very marked Improvement on tho present steamer service. The lat­ ter takes 56 hours, whereas by flying boat the journey could be completed In eight to nine hours. After describing the proposed air routes in. India; the director of avia­ tion proceeded to discuss, the essen­ tials needed for their development. to Perfect Digestion Comes Through Rich, Red Blood. There can be no perfect digestion unless you have rich, red blood. This is scientifically true, It is also true that there is no tonic for the stomach that is not a tonic for every other part of #the body. The way, their, to tone iip’the stomach is to tone up the ! blood. The many so-called stomach rome- -V try to digest your food for you. How much better it is to : tone up the stomach so that it will do its own work as nature intended, i There is no pleasure iii eating pre- ] digested food. Tone up your stomach and your appetite and digestion will soon be normal, If your digestion is weak and your blood thin you need the help of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to enrich tho i blood and restore strength, in add!-: tion use care in the selection of your i food and your stomach trouble will soon pass away. Mr. Gordon Dundas, Peterboro, Ont., tells as follows what . this medicine did for him. , He says-: "Something over a year ago I was a gasoline salesman when I was taken sick. I felt miserable and lost twelve pounds In weight. I did not sleep well and could not eat as I could ' scarcely retain anything in my stem- j acli. I went to a local doctor who told me the fumes of the gas^had got into my system. He gave me some medi­ cine and told me I had better go to the country for a change of air. I did so, but I still felt listless and groggy, and had no ambition. . On the advice of a friend I decided to try Dr. Wil­ liams’ Pink Pills. I had not been, tak­ ing the pills long before I was begin­ ning to rest better, and to eat fairly well. I kept on taking the pills until I at the end of the seventh box I knew 1 did not need any more, as I had * gained the weight I had lost, slept well and could eat anything. I have since had splendid health and. cannot say tqo much in praise of Dr. Wil­ liams' Pink Pills. You can. get these Pills from any medicine, dealer or by mail at 50 cts. a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medi­ cine Co., Brockville, Ont. Winnipeg.—According to the "Nor’- West Raymer,” the,, 1927 wheat crop in Western Canada is expected to exceed the official estimate of 433,223,000 bushels. "Threshing returns indicate yields as high as 6.0 bushels per acre in Alberta, many yields from 40 to 50 bushels per acre, with out-turns of between 30 and 40 bushels common. The average for the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al­ berta, should bd between 22 and 23 bushels per acre. Threshing is pro­ ceeding satisfactorily; deliveries pass­ ed the thousand cars per day mark during the last week of September. Farmers are optimistic; prices for nearly all farm products average high­ er than at any time since 1920.. The average farm income this year should be about 10 per cent, higher than in 1926 or any year since 1919. Oats, barley, dairy products and all live stock are selling at substantially hlgh- er prices than a year ago and the farmer’s dollar has greater buying power. "About 60 per cent, of the. grain ♦ crops wil be marketed through the Canadian Wheat Pool this season. Millions of dollars’ worth of other farm products wil lalso be sold by farmers’ co-operative organizations, or pools, as they are popularly term­ ed; for in Western Canada there are pools for almost every product raised on the farm. There are pools for wheat and coarse grains, potatoes, dairy products, livestock, poultry and eggs, honey ducts. The headquarters and Calgary, of members from which farm products are ship­ ped. They have enormous resources, do business running into hundreds of millions, and thus far have carried on practically without criticism or com­ plaint from within their own ranks.

While a con- j steering gear and! glaring headlights, I centrated effort in accident preven­ tion began on October 7 to last for a couple of weeks, the plan is to con­ tinue the work permanently in the hope that Ontario’s streets and high­ ways will be more safe for both motorists and pedestrians. A serious problem has arisen in On­ tario because of the sudden Increase In the number of motor vehicles, At present nearly 400,000 cars are own­ ed in the province. Even with this number the question of accident pre­ vention would be of considerable pro­ portions, but at certain‘times the num­ ber of visiting motor cars equals the number owned. Several counts last summer established this fact so that Ontario has to deal with nearly 800,000 individual motor drivers. The chances are that this number will be exceeded during the touring season of 1928. Form Special Committee To, the end that accidents may be greatly lessened, a Highway Safety Committee has been formed. The executive of this committee has as its chairman the Ontario Minister of Highways, Hon. George S. Henry and the other members are W. G. Robert­ son, . Secretary of the Ontario Motor League; J. F. H. Wyse,’Secretary of the Ontario Safety League; S. J. j Dickson, Chief of Police, Toronto; T. | Marshall, Secretary of the Ontario Board of Trade; J. P. Bickell, Regis­ trar of Motor Vehicles; and R. M. Smith, Acting Deputy Minister of Highways. Co-operating is an advis­ ory committee comprising all editors, heads police trade, clubs. The of meetings during which every phase of the situation was discussed. The views of all experts were canvassed and finally boiled down to the con­ clusion that motor car accidents’ can be prevented by the exercise of com­ mon sense and courtesy. It Was felt that the province had sufficient laws and regulations affecting motors. The next step was to impress the individual driver with a sene of his or her re­ sponsibility. It was ascertained that many drivers with years’ of experi­ ence had failed to realize the great increase in traffic, while the motor car had become so common that new drivers had not appreciated its dan­ gers. In other words an effort had to be made to get the public “traffic Coming to concrete Of these, defective brakes provided by far the most common source of acci­ dents. "Traffic Consciousness” It was determined first to arouse this traffic conpclotisness in the pub­ lic by a publicity campaign And this campaign was to be backed up by a con- this you ul of municipal governments, chiefs, presidents of boards of automobile clubs and service executive have held a number Working Girl Hostel for Port Elizabeth Standerton, S. Af.—Mrs. Tonkin is South Africa’s first woman factory inspector, and has now been respon­ sible for the opening of the Working Girls Club at Port Elizabeth, which has done splendid work on behalf of the hundreds of young gifls, employed in the factories there. A hew hostel at a cost of £10,000 is being built, and is, so far, the only one of its kind in the Union. It is proposed to erect | conscious.” similar industrial hostels in all large towns where welfare work for women is receiving attention. It is felt in South Africa as in Great Britain that those associatetd with industry should keep befefre them two ideals, first that of associating the workers with any welfare efforts in the factory, and second that of incul­ cating into forewomen their responsi­ bility for the welfare both of the in­ dustry and of the individual worker. Mrs.. Tonkin has made a study of the great Federal Labor bureaus in America, and considers that "welfare work” in Great Britain and the Union is a rnuoh more elastic and compre­ hensive term than that known in America. rigid enforcement of laws and regula­ tions. Co-operation was readily secur­ ed throughout the province on the paTt of the police, heads of municipal gov­ ernments, and the traffic patrol o - fleers,/ . ■Striking advertisements calling at­ tention to the need of more care n accident prevention are appearing in most papers throughout Ontario. Posters are hung in every garage and filling station and stickers with the words "I’m,' for Care and Courtesy, Are YOU?” have been sent to every filling station-and garage to be pasted in the lower right hand corner of windshields. Half a million of these stickers have already been sent out. Information was supplied to practical­ ly every newspaper so that the editors might call attention to what was be­ ing atempted. This information was used in many ways in the newspapers. The radio stations and motion picture houses also co-operated. Prominent men and experts on safety gave talks over the radio, tho first one hems S ven by Hon, Mr. Henry. Billboards are also used, so that nothing has been overlooked to arouse what officials call "traffic consciousness.” In the meantime officials of the On­ tario Department of Highways are do­ ing all in their power to suppress reckless driving, and those drivers who cut into traffic. It is planned to weed out such drivers by cancelling their licenses. Of course no mercy is being shown those who attempt to drive vzhile under the influence of liquor Drivers who suffer from any physical or mental infirmity that makes then: a menac-i on the highway will also be refused licenses... . During September 54 convictions were registered for intoxication when in charge of motor cars. The penal­ ties imposed varied from seven to thirty days, while every driver so con­ victed had his license to operate and his motor vehicle permit suspended. They could not drive and their cars were tied up. During the same month 68 motor vehiql£,. permits were sus­ pended for reckless driving and these drivers were prohibited from driving any car for periods ranging from three days to two years. sfm- th© sim- and Is there a baby or young children in your home?

"When Grandma comes, I hope won’t upset Betty’s training, so old-fashioned, want to interfere schedules and give her all sorts of im­ possible things to eat,” Mrs. Tread- wel had said when the vigorous •’old lady had announced her intention of making a visit. — But, on the contrary, Grandma had j no suggestions to make regarding Betty—Betty who was finical about her food, restless and impatient, bursting into tears at slight provoca­ tion and altogether too pale and lan­ guid. Betty lived in a household of grown­ ups. Grandpa enjoyed taking her to the movies any pleasant afternoon. Cousin Mary donated pink chiffon bonnets and white broadcloth coats. Her father grought home a pair of real kid gloves, just 'to see her eyes shine, and a doll so fragile and -deli­ cately arrayed,' that someone had to be continually reminding her not to drop it, not to soil it. Mother took her on her shopping trips, proud of the attention she received in the stores. And still Grandma said nothing. Until one day young Mrs. Treadwell remarked, "I don’t see how mothers in your day ever succeeded in raising their families. They paid so little attention to diet!” Grandma must have been slightly ruffled for she replied, "We weren’t perhaps as careful of the food that went into their stomachs as you are, but we were a good deal more par­ ticular about the food we gave their minds. We maybe did give them too much spice in their victuals, but not so much In their amusements. We 1 didn’t dash in a lot of excitement on the top of a full day. We didn’t take them about thrpugh crowds to over­ stimulate and exhaust them. You say you don’t want Betty to get. a taste for higher seasoned food. Well, our children didn't get such a taste for excitement that they couldn’t enjoy a quiet day at home, reading Or work­ ing. Excitement arouses the desire for more excitement, just as the con­ diments you worry „feo about cause a desire for more condiments.
