These words stamped in sev­ eral places on the carcass is a guar- ntee of wholesome meat. At every packing plant or abattoir where ani­ mals for meat are killed, from which shipments are made interprovincial- ly or for export, inspectors of the Health of Animals Division, Pro­ duction Service, Dominion Depart­ ment of Agriculture, watch for any signs of disease in every part of the animal and unwholesome or diseas­ ed meat is condemned and must not be sold for human food. These in­ spectors are qualified veterinarians, The inspection extends to seeing that the sanitary condition of the equipment and personnel in the plant is maintained at a high stand­ ard. Yards, pens and stables be­ longing to a plant under inspection of the Health of Animals Division must also comply with the regula­ tions under the Meat and Canned Foods Act. All animals are inspected before slaughter by these officers, and a very strict post mortem examination is made immediately after slaughter This is followed by intensive super­ vision of all details during the work­ ing hours, day and night, in the curing, canning, rendering or other process, handling, packaging and shipping out of all meat and meat products. No curing materials, spices, and such like, can be used unless they carry the endorsement of the Dominion Government. Even the railway cars and other vehicles that carry meats are supervised for cleaning. All meats which bear the legend “Canada Approved” give assurance to the Canadian public that every­ thing possible has been done to insure pure food. Such meats may be purchased from local markets.

It is true that position of major source of bacon, products for the This is indicated by the figures re­ leased April 11th by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, and widely pub­ lished, to the effect that the last year for which “British import” data are •Denmark supplied Britain million pounds of bacon, lion pounds of butter, and 95 mil­ lion dozen of4eggs. ‘Statistics from Danish sources on “export .to the United Kingdom” show that the sit­ uation changed but slightly in 1939 -—roughly 400 million pounds bacon 226 million pounds of butter, 97 million dozen eggs—while the same sources indicate that Danish exports to Britain during the first two months of the present year did not vary widely from those for the same period -of last year. These are impressive trade figures with respect to the products men­ tioned. From the British-hnarket- standpoint, Danish supplies repre­ sented 49 per cent, of Britain’s to­ tal imports of bacon, 25 per cent, of her total imports of butter, nearly half her total imports of eggs. From the Danish standpoint,, the changed marketing situation is even more striking, since the above-mentioned shipments made up about cent of her total exports of modifies for 1938. A second consideration Denmark is not only removed the British marketing picture for the period of the German occupation but will likely be a lesser factor in exports of live stock products for some time afterwards. For it must be remembered that Denmark’s large production of these commod­ ities was only possible because, as a maritime nation, she could import: considerable quantities of feeds, De-1 spite great efforts in recent years to increase home feed production, the best information available shows that she imported from 20 to 25 per cent of her feed grain. Now that she has fallen within the orbit of the enemy, Denmark finds herself blockaded. And lacking the oppor­ tunity of bringing in much of these feeds, she may be forced to liquid­ ate a proportion of her livestock. This process, of course, will enable her temporarily to keep up 60 per all com- is that from Does Your Food Cause You Distress?

PRESIDENT’S ATHLETICS A prominent journalist of 1825 discovered that John Quincy Adams, 6th President of the United States (1825 to 1?8>29) was in. the habit of taking early morning swims in the Potomac. “One morning” he relates, “I saw the President in nankeen panta­ loons and a blue pea-jacket walk­ ing rapidly towards the river. He began to disrobe before he reached a tree on the brink of the river, where he deposited his clothes, and then plunged in head first, and struck out 15 or 20 rods, moving rapidly and turning occasionally on his back, seeming as much at ease in that element as upon terra firma. Coming out, he rubbed him­ self thoroughly with napkins, which he had brought for that purpose. The sun had hot yet risen when he had dressed himself and was re­ turning to the presidential mansion/ However. John Quincy’s morning sport did not always end so happily One morning he went swimming with his son John and his servant, Antoine. Their small, leaky boat sank and the President narrowly escaped drowning, besides most of his clothes. The servant, who had lost clothes made his way to the House to order a carriage, while the almost naked President hid a bank of the .Potomac. BRINSLEY Rev.

We regret the serious illness of Mrs. Walter Morley, who is now in St. Joseph’s Hospital. export of live and dressed, animals and poultry, with Germany presum­ ably as the market—but it is a pro­ cess of “killing the goose that laid' the golden eggs.” What does this removal of Den­ mark from the British supplies pic­ ture mean to the Canadian farmer? This much can be said: According to official advice received by the Bacon Board, Britain is at the mo­ ment heavily stocked with bacon and domestic and Irish production are keeping up well, She is also sup­ plied with butter, The loss <oj£ Danish supplies of both these com­ modities, considerable as it is in volume, can be at least partially off­ set by reduction in rations, increased only a short time ago because of the large supplies on hand. The determination of th,e British author­ ities to use their exchange for the, purchase of those things most need­ ful for the successful prosecution of the war will undoubtedly lead to exploration of the above possibil­ ities before new sources are sought of supplies formerly coming from the Scandinavian countries. Should Britain later seek bacon, eggs and butter to replace in part supplies heretofore received from ■Denmark, apparently she will have to turn to the North American con­ tinent. The United States has sur­ plus of many agricultural products, and prices are relatively low. Ex­ change rates, however, plus the fact that Britain may wish to use her American currency for the purchase of m,pre strictly military supplies may cause the United Kingdom , au­ thorities to look to Canada for add­ ed quantities of bacon and other live stock products when that time comes. It might likewise be pointed out that even should Britain require from Canada increased quantities of these commodities, there is no indi­ cation that greatly increaser prices would follow. From the very begin­ ning of the war, Britain’s policy has perforce been aimed at preventing undue price increases in supplies needed for war purposes; and, due to the tremendous strain placed on the British exchequer by a war that is so costly and that may be long, she is likely to continue this policy.
