THE BEST FOOD
It is an unfortunate fact that ir-
responsible persons are so often
guilty of making extravagant claims
and statements, which, upon enquiry,
prove to be false, that when it is de-
sirable for a responsible body to em-
phasize some truth, the statements
they make in connection are apt to be
overlooked by the render.
All of us have read, on many ocCas-
ioons, that such and such a fond is
the best. If it wave simply claimed
that the food was good and desirable,
the claim might be regarded as rea-
sonable. There iso however, beyond
tluestion, one food which is best for
the infant, and that is breast milk.
The superiority of this natural food
is apparently not realited, if we are
to judge by the number of infants
who are placed on artificial feedings,
upon the slighest excuse, and . often
no excuse at all.
Many infants have been brought up
successfully upon artificial feedings,.
but this does not offset the fact that,
comparing the artificially fed with the
naturally fed infant, there is. more
sickness and less health among the
babies who , have been deprived of
their nature] fond.
Tine ,natural food is best. It is
more ef q composition suitable for
the infant; it is readily digested. It
is practically aterille; there is no
danger of its being contaminated with
disease germs. The protective sub-
stances against disease which the
mother has acquired are passed to
the child in her milk and so the nat-
urally fed baby, during the -nursing
period, gains a certain protection
against thecommon communicable
diseases which are so severe
and frequently are so fatal when
they'attaek the infant.
The act of nursing is also good for
the child in that it develops the jaws
in a proper way, There are other ad-
vantages which might be ,mentioned;
in fact, we may say that there are
none but advantages in the natural
milk, and, therefore, our statement
that that it is the best food is beyond
doubt er question.
To be naturally fed is the right of
every baby. We agree that every
child 'has.a right to a fair chance to
develope, to the full, physically and
mentally, This means that! every
child nut he breast fed, far it is in
this way that he gets his fair chance.

TURBS'ROSINESS OF STOCK
IIROKFRS.
Ottawa, Tan. 27th.; (Special to The
News -Record)
The rampant prosperity of the
stock brocketage fraternity through
out Canada, which ,was seriously
jolted by the October -November mar-
ket panic, has been further undermin-
ed by . the activities of the Alberta
and Ontario Goyernments and by the
promise that the Federal Parliament
will also take up "wildcatting" and
"bucketing" at the corning session.
In the past five years probably no
industry in Canada has flourished
like the brockerage business. The
population went "speculatively mad".
Almost over night policemen; barbers
race track touts and 'hundreds of oth-
ers became "stock brokers" and al-
most over night they blossomed forth
as incipient ar as actual millionaires.
Hundreds of them were not even
members of an exchange but they
stretclted; t'elegrapls wires hundreds
and sometimes thousands of miles,
and became agents for someone who
was a -member.
Of course, there were already hue-.
deeds of brokers who were members
of an exchange; -hundreds who far
many ,'eaus had bean legitimately'
carrying on their .business and well
satisfied with a five or ten thousand
dgiler income. And probably the
great majority of the new graduates
into the industry followed the rules
meticulously; but in their wild stain,
pede for unearned wealth the public
did not .differentiatef. Everything
was going up and almost anybody's
advice on what to buy was profitable.
It was bard to pick.a loser.
The day come, last October, when
conditions changed. It was hard to
save anything from the wheel. Peo-
ple, though halcyon days, had left.
their real ar amaginary certificates
with their brokers,., content simply to.
drop around now and then and take
a check for a few thousand to pay for
a new automobile or similar necessity.
'But when the crash came folks de-
manded their certificates. They
would at least be souvenirs of financ-
ial. independence. eleith tho crash
also came belated official recognition
of the fact that the whole enterprise
should have been more carefully sup
etn'ised. .A natural corrolary of the
boom was an epidemic of promotions
of nndevsicped prospects mineral,
manufacturing, ad infinitum
Now in the coldgrey dawn of the
morning after a post tnortesn examin-
ation and several inquests are being
held and more are promised. From
the conservative single stand broker
to the one with offices dotted across
the country like chain grocery stores
the reaction in dollars and cents is a
headache. The speculative frenzy
died of strangulation last November..
Now come inquiries prosecutions and
promises of restrictive legislation to
further undermine the confidence of
those who still have a few dollars
left and would like to recoup.
Employees in brokerage and stock
promotion offices are being released
with the. abandon of Christmas Eve
in a departmental store. Eventually
of course, no legitimate valuation of
a security will be affected but .in the
interval the mushroom crop of mil-
lionaires is in the doldrums; the pro-
motion business is terrible and even
the bond salesmen are having a hard
time to buy gasoline.
What nature new protective legis-
lation will take is problematical, but
undoubtedly some effort will be made
to protect the gullible against avar-
ice.

The presentation to Lord Willingdon at Brantford
the other day of a model. of Bell's first telephone
together with the latest' cradle" type -instrument em-
phasizes the great contribution that Dr. Bell made
to the art of electrical communication. It serves
also to remind us that Dr. Bell was the first to
project sound waves by beams of light. ' To -day,
the Old and New Worlds talk to one another by means of the transatlantic telephone. Carried by
electric waves- first mediated by Maxwell, an.. Eaglishman, and experimentally verified by Hors, a
German, speech travels the broad expanse of the Atlantic Ocean in one -sixtieth of a second. These
electric waves, commonly known: as radio waves; were known and understood by relatively few
scientists in 1876 when the telephone was invented. .Of course, light waves were known. Using
these tight waves, Alexander Graham Bell was the first to devise a wireless telephone. Note (at the
Tight) an old picture of Boll's experiment With light waves.
