EDITORIAL NOTES
It is officially announced tonight
that Paeliement will reassemble on
February 4. The Government expeets
to get its legislation through by Easter.
The measures, it is stated, will be
largely confined to war legislation.
There will be a smell grist of private
legislation, while certain tariff changes
will appear in the I3udget, made neces-
sary for war tax pnrposes and for in-
creased revenue.
Much has been written about the de-
vastating effects of the war and the
enormous destruction of wealth. Be-
cause of these things many persons
are apprehensive that when peace
comes the restoration of things to their
normal condition will so engross capital
that general prosperity may be slow in
returning. While there has been a
great deal of destruction, the devastat-
ed area is not large relatively to the
rest of Europe. If we include all Bel-
gium and all that part of France lying
north of the Aisne and east of the
Meuse in the western devastated area
we have only about 20,000 square miles
A liberal allowance for the devastated
area in the eastern field would be 30,-
000 square miles, making a total of 50,-
000 square miles, which, up to date,
have felt the destructive hand of war.

portfolio.
Hon. R. F. Preston, Minister without
portfolio. '

ADVERTISING A PACEMAKER.
Good advertising is a vigorous pace-
maker.
It not only seeks increase in business.
but sets new ideals.
It leads. It contructs. It goes for-
ward.
The advertising manager has to grow
to keep pace with his printed promises.
It is safer to buy an advertised art-
icle than an "unknown." •
Take the advertising in this news-
paper as a safe index to reliable busi-
ness.
White phosphorus matches will not be
allowed to be made in or imported into
Canada after January 1st.
Daniel Fenwick of St. Catharines,
jeweler and watchmaker, perished
while walking from near Thorold to
Niagara Falls to spend Cf.ristmas with
his family. •
The second Canadian contingent will
form a complete army division, the six
extra battalions now at Salisbury being
utilized differently from the way pre-
vicusly arranged.

ULTRA VIOLET LIGHT RAYS.
How Man May Some Day Extract Hic
Food From the Air.
Science begins to dream of a day in
which man will gather his food direct
from the air and digest it without
much aid from the various ferments
and juices which are now mainly in-
strumental in that work.
The chief agent in this mighty revcs
'Wien, according to no less an author-
ity than Bertholet, will be the ultra
violet Light rays. These are -not visa.
ble to the human eye. They do not
appear upon the spectroscope. They
affect the photographic plate, how-
ever, and are probahbly discerned by
some of the loWer animals, whose
sense of sight is much more acute
than that of man.
Much is known of their chemical ef-
fects. Few microbes can long with-
stand their power. The redness and
pain of "sunburn" are their work. They
are particularly injurious to the eye,
which upon exposure to them becomes
totally blind in a little while.
Through the agency of these rays
Bertholet has actually combined car-
bon dioxide and water vapor into
sugar and other carbohydrates. Be
has inclosed carbohydrates, fats and
albuminoids in sealed vessels of
quartz and has seen them digest un-
der the rays. The process is very ex-
pensive, of course, but it Is hinted
that modern inventive genius will so
cheapen it in time that fields of wheat
may be replaced by factories where
food is manufactured from the gases
of the air.
And should the men of that day be
troubled with indigestion the sense
agent that makes their food will come
to their relief. Stomach troubles will
disappear at once before a little bulb
of light rich in the ultra violet rays. -

BIFOCAL LENSES.
They Had Their Origin In Ben Frank-
lin's Double Glasses. '
Everybody who uses bifocal glasses
probably wonders where the idea orig-
inally came front. Bifocal glasses are
the kind that possess two separate
lenses cemented together so that, by
looking in the upper part one can see
:It a great distance ahd by looking
throttgb the lower half one can read.
Most authorities are inclined to give
Benjamin PranklIn credit for, the in -
vender]. fie was. NO the story goes, an
inveterate reader and could not use his
reading glasses when looking any dis-
tance away.
Finally the notion came to him that
he cotild combine his glasses. and he
thereupon had the lenses cut in half
and one -halt of each tens placed in the
rim of each tweet:tele rim. The result'
MA that a single pair tit glasses was
enfficient, though present, day ()enlists
state that the sharply drawn line must
