We find ourselves alanbst as tired in the morning as at night and at night we feel that life has 'been a bit hard on us, . That is, until the sun wanes low and we have been able to freshen. ourselves a little to enjoy the even- ing coolness. One of the very nicest ways of keeping as cool as it is possible to keep when the tempera- ture wavers aroundthe ninety -mark is to take a cool sponge morning and evening.• It is tremendously refresh- ing. Some busy woman is sure to say she 'hasn't thne for two baths . a day. But ten minutes or less will accomplish it and the time will be well spent. A tired woman, who is just ready to fling herself down for the night :will go to sleepmuch more comfortably' after a cool bath, and another in the morning will set her up for the day. A cool sponge for the children Ibe- fore they go to bed at night, too, Will melee them ever so much more com- fortable. Women have been distinguishing themselves, lately, haven't they? One won the King's prize as a flyer and another made a fine showing at the Sisley shoot. They have been get- ting themselves onto the front pages at a great rate. Now, I don't think that it matters a hoot that a woman; can learn to fly mete. shoot straight. I cannot see why she shouldn't learn to do either, if she wants to, but do not believe that it will make her a bit happier to excel in that line, except that it is something which will call at- tention to her achievements. A wo- man's work is in the honsey you will hear on all sides, both nien and wo- men keep reiterating it day in and day out. I'm, quite willing to admit that when a woman is responsible for a hone, is the mother of a fam- ily, that the place were she ;can ac- complish the most good is right there. with the children, training them up in the way they should go, seeing that they are fed nourishing food, that they are suitably and comfort- ably clothed, keeping their noses clean and training them to be useful citizens. There is the duty, too, to the husband and father, who is out all day trying to earn enough to keep the home together. He has rights which every decent, fair-minded wo- man will not only admit but concede without a Inursmrr. No woman should take .upon heeself. the responsibilities_ of wifehood and motherhool unless she is willing to pick up and carry her share of the burden without grumbling. But women have been doing their share, many a woman much more than her share, and no- body so much as gives her a little pat on the back. Now, young wo- mten, who can see for themselves that if they take on all these responsibil- ities they will be just buried in their kitchens, so to speak, are taking a bit of a fling before they do settle down.

REBEKAH REASONS GIVEN BY SOME ED= ITORS FOR RESULT OF ELECTION SHOULD RAVE DELAYED ELECTION Goderich Signah Liberal,) The result vindicates the juegment of those Liberals who warned the Government against going to the country at such a time as this. When things are not right people do not al- ways stop to think out the matter— they are liable to blame the powers that'be and to hit out at anything in sight. DIDN'T SCARE PROPERLY (Goderich Star, Conservative.) That Bennett OR the Empire stuff did net go over. The people voted for Bennett, Canada AND the Em- pire. p IT SEEMS STRANGE (The Seaforth Expositor, Liberal.) That (the fact that the gov- ernment was defeated) seems strange in face of the fact that the Iiniterial policy advocat- ed by the King :Government meant wider and 'better markets and in face of the fact also that the Imperial Policy meant increased manufactur- ing in Canada because American manufacturers would have, under it, to establish plants in this country before they could have participated in Empire trade, The election on the whole was very similar to the Reciprocity election of 1911. For years before the Reei- prociity election Canadian farmers had been clamoring for the American markets. When the Reciprocity agreement between the -United States and Canada was before the Laurier Government t he Canadian farmers sent deputation after deputation to Ottawa, urging -the Government to accept it and promising them a uni- ted support if they did so. Then when, polling day tame they turned it down, almost to a man. WHAT OF TRE PROPHETS? (Ridgetown Dominion, Ind.) Reading of pre-election headlined. and advertising at this date ' is interesting. The result cn Monday showed the uncertainty of prophe- cies, as witness the many who slipped a cog in their forecast that "Bennett Can't 'Win" It remains now to see if there was any more ground for the intimation that a vote for Bennett was a vote against Empire trade. Some way we didn't take much stock in either of those pre-election cries; nor are we dis- posed to agree with such papers as the Toronto Globe which intimated oat Tuesday that the election result was ,a; ,body 'blow to the trade relations of Canada with the Motherland,. In 'every election, it seems that one or other of 'the parties has to indulge in that particular font of campaigning which is known as "waving the Old Flag." To our mind there is always a flavor of insincerity in the cry of disloyalty. It seems of a ' class with that cry before Pilate "Thou art not Caesar's friend if thou lettest this man go!"` As a matter .of fact we do not 'expect to see any loosening of the bonds of Empire, irrespective of which patty is in power in Canada.

ABDOMINAL PAIN The human batty is provided with protective forces which are called- in- to action when the need arises. Pain in itself is not protective'; it is, •how- ever, a danger signal which warns, and so indirectly, it protects. As long as conditions in the abdom- en are normal, we are, unconscious of the movements of the bowel which' propel the contents of the intestine. When an abnormal condition occurs, if any part becomes diseased, there is a change in the movements of the � Kcal- The are the and: rther moti- The next thing which happens is the sensation of pain; the danger sig- nal flashes, and. the individual is thus warned that something is wrong. The majority of persons who have a pain in the abdomen say they have a stomach ache, and they generally blame something they have eaten. Believing this to be the ease, they naturally conclude that the proper thing to do is to take, some medicine which will act as a purgative and en- able them to get rid of the offending intestine. If the condition beeotnes acutei the peristalsis, iih the-moovee ants ar led, is stopped. This is nature's first step ,towards protection. part is put at rest. Not only intestines put at rest, but the ab- dominal muscles are contracted, so rigid wall is made which fu protects by keeping the parts onless. food. If a laxative is taken, it Simply means that we are doing our best to set in motion the ,intestines which nature has put at rest for our pro- tection. It means that we disregard the danger signal of pain whereby nature indicates what is the safe course for us to take. at is true that many persons with abdominal pain have taken a:laxat- ive- without serious or apparolttly harmful' retsultt, but lit is equally true that Many persons have lost their lives because they took a lax- ative to relief abdominal pain. If the pain bas been caused by an inflamed appendix, the movements of the intestines set up by mite laxative may cause the appendix to rupture and spread its contents, weieh re- sults in peritonitis. If the pain is due to a raptured ulcer or to an inflam- mation of any of the abdominal or- gans, movement of the intestine in- ereases over and over the chances of the development of serious and fatal conditions: When abdominal pain occurs, it is well: to recognize that it should not be dealt 'with by stimulating the movement of the intestines which nature has put at rest as a means of. protection. • Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to, the •Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College S'trdet, Toron- to, *ill be. answered personally by letter. great opportunity was lost when the two parties failed to agree on the general lines of the Empire trade policy. Nevertheless, while they differed fundamentally in their meth- ods of approaching the problem, both are now thoroughly committed to the general principle of intra -Em- pire trade, and the new government will undoubtedly do their utmost to prove that their way was the best. The measure of their success will depend an the length to which Great Britain is prepared to go in the dir- ection of duties, and on whether New Zealand delegates assume a resentful or a forgiving attitude. But when it comes to negotiating at the Imper- ial Tbade Conference it may be bhat the Conservative chieftains will not be so fierce as they were in cam- paigning. THE ELECTION (Lucknow Sentinel, Ind.) The thing which stands out most prominently in connection with the general election ,held on Monday is that the outcome of an election is not determined by party policies nor' argument, nor by eloquence not• dr- ganization, but by eiconomio or busi- ness conditions and catch -words. It proves again that a year or six months of !business depression will defeat a government. THE WORLD STILL MOVES (Toronto Herald, Ind.) Thursday's election proved that the world still moves. When Quebec broke away from the Grit party and Toronto elected a Grit surely the- millelniunt must ,be somewhere in the immediate offing. The results in Quebec show that the memory of Laurier is wearing thin and that henceforth other issues than his shadow must be invoked by tate Grits if they want to hold that Pro- vince. Many electors of the present generation probably do not know that the late Sir John A. Macdonald referred to Quebec as "my strong right arm" and it was his protection against the Grit Province of Ontario in those days. It is possibly that Quebec has Si strongly developed Conadian complex. That last time it broke away from its Grit moor- ings was when Laurier proposed to do reciprocity business with the Uni- ted States. This time the issue was the giving of concessions. to the old land. It may be that a chronic ease of Canadianism is what ails it and that any political gestures aimed to assist other countries, Causes it to break into a political rash. THEY TOOK A CHANCE Listowel Banner, Liberal.) The general impression seems to be that the unemployment situation and the general depression of the country was the cause of the defeat of the King Government on.IVfonday. Mh. Bennett's promise to relieve the unemployment situation at once caught many votes, - as •did also his promise to assume the whole cost of the old age pension scheme. THE GOVERNMENT DEFEATED (Toronto Daily. Star, Liberal) It is a significant thing that in 1911 and now a Liberal administra- tion went to the country with im- portant constructive programs and met with defeat at the hands of op-. ponents who had no set program to offer, On both occasions the policy submitted to the people' was quite too good ---iso much so that it could not be directly attacked, with the result that it was not attacked at all, but wild side ,issues were raised. As re- gards the issues of the election yes- terday there is little on the Liberal program that the Canservatives might not- adopt today as their own. with gaintq themselves and advare lege to the country, . The Conserve live natty had no auat'xel with the Dunning budget except that it was Dunning's andnot their own. They might do a great deal worse than take over this budget along with the premises. THE WAR GOES ON (The Toronto Globe, Liberal) The arbiters of the national fate and of political fortunes have exer- cised their sovereign right by re- jecting a Government with a good record and by putting their stamp of disapproval on a great cause.... un- der our system of government the credit or the censure must go to the electors. It is the peoples' will that the "realities of Empire" as thus - tinted by the "glorious gesture" of the Dunning budget, 'be discarded in favour of the unknown, A GREAT CONSERVATIVE TRIUMPH (London Free Press, Coltservative) The encouraging feature of the sweep for the Conservative Party is the fact that it is not confined to any one province, Right across Can- ada there was an uprising against a ministry which has' broken every pledge and promise it had ever made and which had introduced a death- bed repentance budget in which it did not believe.

BUTTERMILIK LUBRICATION Motorists of to -day with automo- biles very nearly trouble-free, miss the grief and thrills which were part of driving during the earlier years of the industry. Back ie. 1912 a man found himself in a perplexing predi- cament. He was driving in. the deep ruts of a rough road, with the bot- tom of his crankcase scraping on the ground when the drain plug of the crankcase was knocked out and be lost all his lubricating oil. There were no service station's on the road and no telephones He walked to the nearest farm -house. The far- mer had no die but just at the mom- ent he happened to be churning. the driver bought six quarts of but- termilk, plugged up the crankcase drain, and successfully drove 30 miles to Birmingham with the churn- ed milk functioning es a hrbricant. This was probably the first and only dtime that au automobile engine has been oiled with the product of the airy.
