The Women's Institute — The last
The Hydro Contracts
The Expositor has never at any
thine in its discussion of the repudi-
ation of the contracts with the Que-
bec power companies by the Ontario
• government defended these ,,agree-
ments made by the former adminis-
trations. It frankly acknowledged
that they were improvident and ex-
travagant, and imposed an intolerable
burden on the Ontario Hydro -Electric
Power Commission and the taxpayers
of the Province. It has, however, ta-
ken strong exception to the manner
in which the Government has chosen
to deal with the Question. The re-
pudiation of the contracts constituted
a gross violation of agreements sol-
emnly entered into by the two par-
ties, the sanctity of which under Bri-
tish law has always been unchalleng-
ed. It has said on frequent occas-
ions that it was a mistake for the
Government to make a sensational
spectacle of the question in the Legis-
lature for 'political effect before any
earnest effort had been made to se-
cure concessions from the power
companies that would have remedied
the injustice.

truthfully say that during Ms fnarried
life he had never kissed any woman
but his own wife.
"And, would you believe it, Mary?
—not a one stood up."
"Walter," his wife said, "why didn't
you stand up?"
"Well" he replied "I was going to

one hundred motorists in each of these

'ever devised for any gasoline!
HOW THIS TEST WAS MADE
We employed the services of the Ross
Federal Research Corp.—an entirely hide -
pendent, fact-finding organization. Un-
known even to our own employees, this or-
ganization sent its men out into the high-
ways and byways of fourteen cities—large
and small in eastern United States.
WE LEFT THE BLUE OUT OF
BLUE SUNOCO
This was to prevent identification. Other.
wise, this gasoline was regular Blue Sunoco
and the certificate to the left, made by an
independent testing laboratory, proves it.
WHO TOOK PART IN THIS TEST?
More than twelve hundred motorists —
• people like yourself; work.
men and clerks, housewives
• and doctors, business ex-
• ecutives and others, were
asked to try this "mystery"
gasoline.
• They came from all walks
• of life, in all makes of cars.
The gasoline was drained
from their tanks and replaced with ten
gallons of this "mystery" gasoline. Then
they went out to test it. Later, they were
asked for their honest, candid opinions. Here
are the figures. The statements of those mo-
torists who were already using Blue Sunoco
have been omitted from the compilation.

In this remarkable test, Blue Sunoco was
compared with 54 other makes of gasoline
—extra -priced, regular -priced, cut -priced.

test didn't know which gasoline they were
testing—don't know even yet, until they
read this report.

AN IMPORTANT FOO
A Message From
THE MINISTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH FOR NOVA SCOTIA
in this enlightened age almost; everyone knows food is necessary
for growth of the body, for the maintenance of the various tissues
entering into the formation of the body, for the purpose of promoting
proper body temperature and for supplying the energy necessary to
enable each person to perform the work assigned him. Naturally
the quantity of food required to maintain different individuals in a
healthy state varies with the age and size, avocation and Otho fac-
tors. There are, however, certain basin requirmnents in a properly
balanced diet which are applicable to all persons, and to understand
these it is necessary to know something regarding the general com-
position of foods.
, All ordinary articles of diet are composed of mixtures of gib -
stances in varying amounts and all are made up of three or four
basic constituents in various groupings. These basic substances are
fats, nroteins, carbohydrates and salts. In addition there must be
»resent certain comnlex bodies to which the general name of vitamins
has been given. All foods then consist of a mixture of one, two, or
more of these basic elements with a proper proportion of water.
Since all the energy required by the body is derived front food,
it is customary to estimate the energy value of various foods in terms
of heat units—or calories. Careful experiments have shown the cal-
oric v slue of one gramme of fat to be 9.3 calories; of Carbohydrates
4.1 calories, and of proteins 4.1 calories.
In general it may be said that proteins, in combination with cer-
tain of the salts, are essential for building up tissues and repairing
them when wasted, while carbohydrates and fats are primarily re-
garded as the fuel foods. Vitamins must be present in proper propor-
tions, since without them certain deficiency diseases are bound to
ensue.
An important factor in estimating the suitability of any food ar-
ticle is its digestibility since it is of little use to the body unless it
can be changed by the digestive organs into substance which may be,
absorbed and thereby take their places in the essential work of the
body.
Oecupying a leading place in the list of important foods we find
fish. In nutritive qualities it differs little from meat and can always
be aecommenden to replace the latter to a very consiherable extent,
especially since it is generally more digestible. Certain investigators
have found fish to contain from ten to fifteen per cent protein; one
to ten per cent fat and a caloric value of fourteen to forty-one per
ounce, It is rich in certain vitamins and a source of some important
mineral salts. Certain fish having a high fat content are sources of
most important growth -promoting vitamms, others have energy value
equal to that of milk and steak. Salt water fish generally contain.
coneiderable iodine and as such are considered a valuable preventive
against Goitre.
Records of the Department 'of Health indicate that the percen-
tage of simple Goitre in the province of Nova Scotia, especially on the
sea coast, is small. This information is based on an epitome of re-
ports received, some years ago, from health officers throughout the
Province, in response to a questionnaire sent out by the Department.
Generally speaking it may be said that »laces at or near the coast
line are comparatively free of Goitre; and the further one travels in-
land,. the more numerous cases become. It is believed by many that
Goitre is a deficiency disease, due to lack of iodine. It is known that
the ocean contains large quantities of iodine and it is eminently reas-
onable to suppose that sea foods are valuable sources of supply. A
noted Boston surgeon stated a few years ago that Minnie Goitre was
not prevalent in bis community for the reason there was always avail-
able a good supply of fish.
In the present state of ' our knowledge regarding the sea foods
and their importance as basic articles of diet, we should strive, by
every legitimate nieans, to increase their consumption, not only in
Nova Scotia, but across Canada as a whole. In consuming more fish
and less of certain other foods we are not only promoting better.
health conditions, but we are doing something tangiblein bringing
a measure of prosperity to our shore fishermen, who have been,
along with others, so sorely tried during this period known as the
"Economic Depression".
