SALADA’ TEA
COMPANY OF CANADA, UNITED
ELIES FOUND TO
BE A SOURCE OF
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
An interesting .statement, made
•recently in. a report to the Ameri
can Health Association, t> was that
flies were carriers of infantile par
alysis virus. It was pointed out
that poliomelitis is a disease of
summer, more prevalent in rural
areas than elsewhere.
Warmer weather will probably
bring flies in just as great profu
sion as ever. It is obvious how im
portant it is, then, to guard against ■
infantile cliarrhoea and other dis
eases often caused by flies which
pick up the deadly contagious germs
on manure heaps, exposed garbage
and other favorite breeding places.
Health authorities rightly warn
against allowing flies to enter the
home or the store, where they de
posit filthy bacteria (which may
number 5,000,00'0 far a single fly)
on food, drink and even little ba
bies sleeping in their cribs.
The importance of this cannot be
over-emphasized, but to destroy
flies before they get in their deadly
work is, obviously^tJj^'.jsMnst-soIh.--'
tion, as it eliminates the extra
ordinarily prolific breeding capac
ity of the common house fly. In this
connection, it is very generally con
ceded 'that Wilson’s Fly Pads offer
a rapid, safe, sure and cleanly me
thod of killing all the flies. Just
a few pads in the right place, at
the right, time, will do the trick. In'
war days, the keeping up of a na
tion's morale is greatly aided by
protecting health and anything that
helps to exterminate flies,, helps to
do this.
Incidentally, Wilson’s Fly Pads
work wonders in destroying ants,
too, which are destructive, annoy
ing pests, indoors and outdoors.

HAS IT COME TO THIS?
Prime Minister Mackenzie King is reported to have said that
if -Canada sends, her sons to war overseas it will not be because of
an act of parliament, but’ by the -decree of an Order-in-Council, What
do Canadians think of this? They elected men to do the country’s
business. They now find that a very few men do that business.
Orders-in-Council that were intended to meet emergencies and spec
ial occasions have come to be the usual method of carrying on the
nation’s affairs. Such conduct will never do. When Canadians
awake to see how far they have slipped in their public business
• methods, the orderers in council will be cleared our quicker than
the soldiers of Cromwell cleared out the Long Parliament. It will
be an evil day when the shadow of the ballot box becomes the hiding
place of Canadian totalitarianism for 'Canada, Party politics may
easily become the hangman’s noose for Canadian freedom and this

A DROP IN JUNE
“A dry May and’a dropping June makes thettarmer, whistle
a merry tune," ran the old song. The belief’-'was That if sufficient
moisture- fell in June that the harvest was practically assured, other
conditions proving favorable. This year, however, , the farmers have
found the precipitation of June over-abundant. Many a pea field
has been ^three-quarters drown&d out, while heavy crops of hay and
a good deal of the fall wheat has been levelled to the -ground. Sugar
beet cultivation has been out of the question on a great majority of.
the fields. Still the beets are there, and given anything like a
fair Show, the farmers, will find‘ a way or. make one to -getting the
cultivation done. Judging by the law of averages, we may look
for a dry harvest and early 'fall. In any case, the best the farmers
can do will be the least they will attempt. “Hope springs eternal
in the farmer’s breast,” and it is a good thing for the commonwealth
that it should do so. *
’ ♦ * * * * * * *
SELECTED TO STAY AT HOME
We are thinking of the men elected or selected for military
service. Be it known that Canadian youth are not hairsplitters.
The men who offer themselves for battle honestly believe that they
are offering themselves to serve wherever their services may be of
most value. When they get to camp they are told that we have
thirty thousand Canadians under arms who are virtual stay-at-homes.
They are not out and outers in military service for Canada. They
are to get their training all right, but they must not lift a finger in
the struggle unless the fight is on Canadian soil or waters. What
do the Russians think of this as they count their dead by the ten
thousand who have perished for the very cause Canadian youth think
they have enlisted for? What does China think of this as she gives
her all for the principles we profess to honour? What has Uncle
Sam to say of such a stay-at-home policy? If one province in this
Dominion' insists upon staying at home, meanwhile professing her
willingness to fight for Canada, why should the government of the
country not leave her to her own devices in this matter, meanwhile
allowing the rest of the provinces to take up the white man’s burden?
The war will be over one of these days and we’d like to be able to
have Canadians, no matter what their past racial connection, to be
able to say, "We Canadians have had our full share in this victory.”
Again we say, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
* ****** *
WE’D LIKE TO KNOW
Not so long ago word got about that we’-d be able to secure only
a certain amount of gasoline and oil. Later we Were told that we
could obtain just So much tea and sugar and coffee and such articles.
Again we were told that we could get only so much of this and that
and the other thing. Then came the word that when baby’s bottle
nipple faded into uselessness we must forthwith hie us to-the man
who took such things and place the nipple on the altar of public
service. Again we were warned that when our shaving tube failed
to yield any more of its saponaceous service we must. forthwith
leave shop or turnip field or bowling green and enrich the govern
ment with the tube or else—. But that is not -all. Down there at
Ottawa they are most likely getting ready to tell us when we are
to do this or that, and what We must not do. There’s going to be a
bureau for about everything. Committees will be appointed to
gulate the amount of the “haiesome” brave Sandy may sup and
pertaties Bridget may offer to her much loved Paddy. Look this
brave Johnny Canuck, and see what We have been suggesting.
got along nicely so long as the limitations cracked down on us were
in the interest of winning the war, but we get good and sore when
the men we elected to do our business undertake .to law us out,
not only of our business, but out of our personal liberties as well.
In fact the strangest thing.the sun ever shone on is going on right
under our eyes and noses. We’re allowing our liberties to pass away
from us. We’re not governed by parliament but by bureaus and
committees, all under the thumb and say*so of one man. ■ Members
of the Cabinet no longer call their souls their own. When anything
is asked of them they put on a holy tone and whisper -deferentially,
"You must see the " and a name is mentioned with greater
awe than a Greek devotee spoke of the chief dweller on Mount
Olympus. Sinai is no longer the most awesome word for Canadians.
The name now that means the earthquake and the storm and the
lightning is ‘Ottawa*. Think about this, gentle reader. Get inform
ed and wake up to the fact that you are no longer free, But remem
ber that you have forged these chains and smiled as they Were
riveted on your hands and ankles. We have developed a totalitarian
government. We are no longer governed by representatives chosen
by the electors of Canada for a definite period, Elections may come
and elections may go, but bureaucracy and royal commissions bid
fair to go on forever unless Canadians practically resolve that as
far as Canada Is concerned, government of the people and by the
people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.
