This hour these fine young fellows would like to be standing by the side of their brothers in arms, in any part of the world where’ they are needed. The whole Empire is aware of this .and applauds them for their zeal and valour. We cannot but wonder, however, if these young men are aware that they are treading in the path of about thevinest soldiers the world has ever known, the heroes of the Peninsular War who fought so vaiorousiy under Wellington, it will be recalled that the Iron Duke, on occasion, retreated behind the lines of Torres Vedras where his soldiers were trained and disciplined till the enemy was but as stubble to their swords. This time of inaction was the time when this army made the most progress of any period of the cam­ paign. Further, th^se young Canadians are where they are because they can be trusted to be brave under apparent inaction, the bitter­ est and most exacting part of any soldier’s training. Besides, they are defending the heart of the Empire, Were they not on duty and had they not been on’ drity during those wearing hours of waiting last Autumn there would have been a different story to tell this hour of the fate of civilization the world over, To stand on guard is, in this instance, the highest service. • ■* *' -0 # lackache^iilneys Cry, for Help Most pcoplo fail tb reCognizd the sbfiriiianCss of a bad brick, The stitcltos, twitches, and twinges are bad enough rind cause great suf­ fering, but back of the backache and thri cause of it rill is ihd dis­ ordered kidneys crying otit a Warn­ ing through the brick.

CONGRATULATIONS In the last issue of the St, Marys Jouimal-Argus our big brother, Mr, Lome Eedy, does a bit of journalism that is hard to beat. Re-< cords show that Mr, Hedy takes an occasional trip a?s rar as Tober­ mory. We have, used our best tones and chosen our nicest words to persuade him to bring from the waters pf that port ,a real ftsh for our delectation, but so far he has failed to do so. However, there is another summer coming. This year our big brother has ■ gone away down to Quebec, where, he exercised his genuine journal- * istic propensities of talking with men in all walks of life. He /found that the Quebeckers are not satisfied with their school sys­ tem, as it does not help Jean Baptiste junior and his charming sis­ ter to face the practical problems of this generation and this hour. However, Mr. Eedy heard a prominent and influential bigwig telling that things are afoot foi’ improvement in thisimportant regard. He found, too, that the habitant was not satisfied with taking lower wages than his English-speaking brother across the line, Measures are being taken to amend this state of affairs. Mr, Eedy found the leaders, the higher up leaders in, the church, progressive in their way of doing things, and felt the pulse of a new; life stirring. The habitant realized that a great deal of wealth of the province is in the hands of the English-speaking people. Without any red in his eye, the habitant is doing what he can, by better education, by widening ideals nnd better methods Of work, to correct, this state of affairs. Travel and interchange of ideas by . actual observation are’ doing their part to bring about ever-growing good will, between Ontario and Quebec, Thanks, Mr. Eedy, you’ve done a fine bit of work, but don’t forget that fish next summer. rw wit mt TORONTO ■ ,w v ■ Hotel Waverley of this pro­ Will it not be the part of The work of vince soon will be prudence for the government of the province to take what precau­ tions it can to prevent" the unpleasantness that occurred this early autumn in connection with the canning of tomatoes? AU the cir­ cumstances are fresh in the government’s memory as well as in the minds of the canning coriipanies. and the employees. Why not get down to serious business right away to insure fair dealing between man and man? The government is in duty' bound to give a strong and reasonable lead in a matter so vital to the company, to the farmers and the company’s employees. Nothing promotes good will like fair play. Once to plant and. build and plow and sow Was thought a real man’s station. But now to jaunt,and have a car Is .thought a man’s vocation. * Apparently Uncle •Sam overlooked this fact and meddled with his citizens’ .gasoline. Little did that fine old gentleman think of what he was doing. Life and liberty he left his subjects but he forgot that American citizens can, these days, pursue happiness only in a car. By his forgetfulness the great gentleman with the chin whiskers and the striped panties is involving his country in the gfav- „ est international difficulties. When you turn it over in your quiet .moments, you’ll find that the interference with the sale of gasoline is 'the thing that is causing Uncle Sam to go unusually cannily in the present war. , ... canning the fruit and. vegetables over for this season. * » * * ♦. • 1 # » ACTION NEEDED We are hearing fine speeches these days. What’We require is action, victories. If we are not altogether wrong there were, on Occasion, two Romans who made speeches. The speeches of-the one left nothing to be desired as fa,r as wording was concerned. The paragraphs were as smooth and as well rounded as a cup qf oil. The words of the other came out in gasps, in brief .and terrible sentences that . stung like whip lashes and .burned like lightning. “Carthage must be destroyed,” was about all that he could say coherently.

It is just too bad when foodstuffs are allowed to go co waste: It’s a'long, long time till the next tomato harvest will be ready for manufacture. In a surprisingly short dime this year’s harvest, unless processed, will be unfit for use. Arid food is one of the things folk must have. Soldiers must be assured there will be plenty of food. It is just as well to recall the fact that tens of thousands of Britons have been short enough of food, as far as variety is concerned. This thing food processors are standing on one foot is < ****<:## NOT NAPPING Britain seized IcOlhnd in the nick of time. Trie Germans had arranged to do the seizing first. When the ship bearing the Brit­ ish marines and other British gentlemen appeared just on the horizon off.Iceland, the German officer on the island, said “Impossible! It’s the Germans ten’days early.” The nice gentleman was disappointed and when the marines marched unceremoniously but altogether capably into liis quarters he said, with his best German suavity, “Do not go upstairs. My wife and daughter are not up yet. I beg you as an English gentleman not to inVade their privacy!" “I’m not an English gentleman,” was the reply,- “but an officer with duties to perform.” Upstairs he went and found the modest ladies Busy burning invaluable papers in the bath tub! Britain was not caught napping either in the seizure of Iceland or in her methods of handling the Germans wlioiri they found there.

After the election the voters of Can­ ada stood to one side skying, “Gentlemen, we have elected you to do our public 'business. Do .that business.” Some people have been saying to folk whose special guidance they have undertaken, “Ignore the men who have been elected to' run the affairs of the coyititry and do as we say.” The remainder of the Canadian people ,do not like their doing so and are asking the Dominion Parliament to see that measures are taken to allow all citizens to go about, their work unmolested and to see, further, that no men shall say in this country that public business, particularly business in the Interest of public safety arid natierial Welfare, shall be hindered in any way or in any degree.
