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.

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.
