To these, which are the foods for g'fowth, heat tied en- ergy, must be added the .proteelave., foods that t is - the le• ayes of plants a d ills. n m Of the two, milk -fa a ")better pi;o- tective food than leaves •'iiecause it contains a larger proportion of vita mine "A," the one which prevents rickets in children, llileCollaln, a Canadian who teaches chemical "hygiene at John Ilopkins, makes the following statement: "Those people who have employed ' the leaf of the plant as their sole protective food are characterised by. small _stature, relatively; short span, of life, high infant mortality, and by adherence to the employment of the simple inventions of their forefath- ers. "The people who• have made lib- eral tine of milk' as a food, have, in contrast, attained ° to greater size, greater: longevity and ` have been much more successful in the searing of their' young. "They have been snore aggressive than non=milk•using people and have achieved' much • greater advancement min literature, science and art. They have debeloped in -a higher' degree educational and • political systems which offer the greatest opportunity for the individual to develop his powers" . For these reasons McColltun re- gards the systematic and free use of milk as the greatest factor of safety in the nutrition; of human beings. Chinese, Japanese and Fillipino children,' even if nursed, as they us- ually are, by their mothers, are small of stature and less advanced than childrenofthe countries where milk is in universal use. This want is in tate way of being remedied by'the introduction into Oriental countries of canned milk. The, whitestock of the Bahamas were originally United Ehtpire Loy- alists, like much of the besie'stock of Canada: Their ancestors were equal- ly capable and aggressive. They use little or no Hulk in the Bahamas. Milk. is used ,to a large extent, in Canada:. The islanders are indolent and unprogressive, while the people of this country are, in the main, in- clustribus, educated and thrifty. Tice hot climate of the islands may be a factor in lessening the energy, of the people,but the want of milk is thought to' hethe, chief reason for the difference of ehz1rCaeter. A London newspaper, (newspapers are notoriously curious) 'recently set out' to see what it could find in the way of a grandmother who stayed quietly_at horse and mended the children's sox or .knitted them new ones. It made a list of seven grand-' Mothers and then went out to see what they were doing, •i'ollowing is the retort of their several occupa- tions nt that given time: No. 1 was in Tanis buying frocks.

IFA1tMEltS AIiE'COYIING'INTO • THEIR ' OWN • Any young man who is dissatisfied with the farm and is. seeki'n'g' art.. op- portunity to get away would do well to take a look at the long list of teach - err, who' graduated recently from the Normal schdals' of the province. In addition to this i5' the list of new lawyers, doctors, dentists, druggists, engineers, and other' professional en- trants that have qualified to follow these callings. There are many snore- of thena'than there are openings. It. is the same in industry. During the past hew yeaes notably 1921, 1922, and 1923, farming was not any. snore rennrneiative than any of the mer- cantile businesses were. ,But agri• culture has fallen on .better 'days. Lastweekat a garden party in tho town of Preston, IIon. John S. Mar ting :told the multitude of opportuni- ties awaiting the young man who would qualify himself with knowledge of the scientific side, of. agriculture.. Mr. IVlartin vas speaking in a farming community . and his statements were applauded by the successful farniers' of Waterloo county, The develape meet of the various, branches of ago riculture -since the late Hon. Jas. S. Duff' conceived the idea of bringing the advantage of the agricultural col lege to the' very doors of the farriers has been rapid and extensive. Tew farmers now retain the old prejudice against the county agricultural' of frees, They have learned by exper- ience that the assistance they can get Mom these offices means money to thein and they are 'freely availing themselves of the advantages placed at their doors. In years to .come, and thiot means the years' of. the immed- late future, the young farmer who starts out with the equipment an ag- ricultural college course will give. him will have the'`. young fellows in the other ,professions hopelessly Nandi-. caped.—Exchange. Lion such as a grandnothee is ,gener- ally supposed to delight '7. at- ter all, ` they were all engaged in what might be called useful niattere,', all but the `last two and even ''they may have been quite justified. The first s one was in Paris 1rtaZ rug fr-ocks. Itg' •,- I maybe she t S G Wa$ baannn Im- ola family, probably being the shrewdest buyer of the lot. The se- cond'had ' driven up into the Mid- lands to visit hor grandsons. Fifty years ago the poor lady would have had' un o wait tri somebody lc t rat od ]e• ytoo t on the visit, probably woulde't have had a chance' to go at all. The third one was out making a.. political speech for hor sen, 'Personally, I've never heard a"gan dmofhez melte a polit- ical speech. The women of :Canada. have not hitherto taken the interest in politics which the women of the better class in England have d'oote For many years. • But, I've heard a:,whole raft of political speeches made by , grandfathers, which,• if grandmother couldn't equal or beat all hone\ rho Showed 'mighty good' sense not to at' tempt. Th'e fourth had gone out to sC' •matinee, very probably taking along, a .grandchild for a treat, it's a way. grandmothers have. - The fifth was preparing for some quiet enjoyment in. the tonne for herself and probably others. ' The sixth was getting her hair shingled. It was 4 her own hair, or she needn't have got it cut, so she had 'a perfect right to do it if she wanted to. The seventh was evident- ly having a real lively time. There seems to be a feeling o£ re- gret, it is notioable in the writings of a number of people here and there, that the -old-fashioned grand- mother has disappeared. You very seldom find her sitting in thecorner now, just waiting until some of the younger generation happened in to• brighten up her day. She is out liv- ing her own life and the youngsters miss her. Personally, I think it is all to the good. Not that I' have a word to say against the old-fashioned grandmother. She was and is, if there are any of her left, a dear. She made many a happy hour for youth. But really, now, be honest with your- self, was it much of ti life for grand- mother? It was fine for the young- sters to knowthat grandmother was there, waiting patiently until they'd get tired amusing' themselyes, and was always ready with a sympathetic ear to ham' all their triumphs and achievements. But while they were out achieving it was a pretty lonely life for grandmother. She had spent her youth serving others and now, When her work is done, those whom she had reared are gone out into the world and she is haft alone in many cases, No interests, but the, interests of the young people who are too busy to share Chem with her in most cases. If grandmother can .find something to - interest her, something to add zest to her declining years, good luek to her, I say, may she die in harness. Her grandchildren mai,' not slobber so much sentiment over her grave but they'll have more real respect for her.
