Here is what Joe Wright, Jr.,
Diamond Sculls winner
and ex-Argo football star
says about Kruschen Salts:
"I realized the pitfalls of
suddenly dropping out of
active sport. I Still take a
fair amount of exercise but
as a preventive against
common ailments I depend
a lot on my’little daily dose’
Of Kruschen Salts every
morning in a glass of water. I recoin ipend it without
hesitation."
Hitler must have strange thoughts about Doorn and St. Helena
as he hears the. German supreme command spoken of, knowing that
it has no reference to himself.

COMING INTO ITS OWN
Canada wasFor a while we were told that timber production in
not only decadent but that it had reached the point where it was
scarcely a paying proposition. It was urged in this connection that
steel and other metals and coal had displaced the forests products.
No doubt there was a good deal of truth in this statement. It was
not all the truth however. The events of the last few months have
demonstrated that whole wooden walls are no longer the chief bul
wark of Britain’s safety, that wooden hulls have gone a long distance
in the way of her defence. This fact is more significant than ap
pears on first blush. Further, the time is still with us when friends
of reforestation and of forest preservation were regarded as cranks
by scores of people. Just this week, however, word has come that
Britain is placing huge orders in Canada for timber. Wisdom still
is justified of her children.
********
THE HUMAN ELEMENT
Results are the great test, in war .as in other things. When it
comes to this stern Criterion in any enterprise, the human element
counts tremendously. Take the matter of ‘the British Navy, for in
stance. It was seamanship that won Drake his renown and Nelson
his imperishable fame. Compared with his rival Drake’s equipment
was decidedly inferior. When it came to the management of his
ships and to taking advantage of wind and tide, his opponents were
as children in his strong hands. The same principle holds in the
present war. Very wisely the British Government is going the limit
in preparing her sailors for any encounter. Detail in this particular
must be left to naval experts. But the struggle will be won by the
best sailors. This naval battle off Uruguay is highly significant in
this particular. Mechanism, before now, has only stood in the way of
success. While it is true that it is the man behind the gun who does
the work, it is even'truer the sailor who gets the ship into position to
fire effectively who makes victory possible.
********
NO MORE POLLYANNA
Prudence demands that judgment be suspended in regard to the
Bremen incident till all the facts are available. When we are told
to the present is that the Bremen is a German crack liner, of the
same class as the British Queen Mary. This fine ship was allowed
to slip through the fingers of the .British navy and to find her way to
a snug and safe harboui' where she stayed as long as she pleased.
wTien she pleased, she left her safe port to steer for the fatherland.
Enroute, we are informed, she was overtaken by a British submarine
that neither sank her nor halted her. 'She is now safe in a port get
ting ready to carry on her old tricks. She was neither sunk nor
captured, we are told, because it was not within the rules of interna
tional law for British sailors to see that she was put beyond the
power of doing harm. And there you are. Are sailors and soldiers
not to give as good as they get. Are our fighters told that they must
not fight according to the Marquis of Queensbury nor Hoyle nor
Emily Post, but according to the standards of Pollyanna? All this
when we contend with a foe whose one desire is to give Britain’s roof
to the flame and flesh to the eagles. This whole puzzling affair
will be investigated and we are sure that the incident will justify the
best British traditions.
