This exclusive property of Phos - feline is illustrated by the recent experience of Mrs. E. Brewster, who writes: "For months my husbaind wets in terrible pain wii;li Rheuma- tism in his feet, walking with agony, until he tried Phosferine, and now off his Rheumatic pain has gone, and he says it is wonderful to walk with- out any pain." 6, Greek Street, HIull. The speedy expulsion of Rheu- enatism Is something to be thankful for --apart from the saving in time and money, for it means that Pbos- terine has revitalized the body cells, reticulated the blood pressure, strengthened the stomach and circu- lation, and maintained perfect health and 'many happy returns' of Ac- tivity! English Alphabet The English alphabet, the origin of which has been a mystery, yields up its secret at last observes the Christian Science Monitor in this editorial. Dr. George Lamsa and Smithsonian Institution scientists working together find the key in the Armanic, a Semitic language which spread through the Euphrates Val- ley about 900 B.C., and which came to be the native tongue of Jesus the Christ. The alphabet almost as it is known today was developed with every letter the picture of a famili- ar object. A was the face of the strong alpo or ox, once worshipped u a god and having that signifi- cance. B outlined a house of the period, C caught the cannel's lump. lie, more of a triangle in the GreeJJ form, was the delta at the mouth of a river. What could be more na- tural?—Men began to spell in the terns of the simple things they could see. H was hawta in this pictorial al- phabet, outlining a trap used to Vrom the Hamilton Spectator Unwiring stories are coming from the West, of the northern trek oe thousands of farm families, seeking, with Government assistance, escape from the stricken drought areas and also, in scene cases, from the distress of life in the cities. They axe being settled in new areas, thele to carry out their manly task of sub- duing the wild and bringing it under cultivation. .Another scheme is being tried out in Calgary, described as a "farm - borne scheme, self-supporting and operated on a co-operative basis". Families are taken from the relief rolls and placed on land near the city. After a year's trial, the plan is pronounced a "complete success". "A. year ago the families were on civic relief," says a Calgary dispatch; "the dawn of 1986 finds them com- fortably housed and self-supporting." Such efforts are for those of true pioneering mould. What hardships they have endured and will endure only people who have had exper- ience of such life can appreciate. One thinks of the father of Marie Chapdelaine, ever moving on when his surroundings began to assume a settled aspect. His was the mind which delighted in the struggle with the primitive, his the hands that re- joiced in subjecting the primeval to his will. It is because Canada has many such heroic souls that her destiny is assured, But more than the meed of admiration should be given by city -dwellers to such elti- zens, who need help as well as sympathy. Church workers in these remote regions send out moving reports of conditions. It seems almost a mockery to compare the state of even the poorest of the residents of our large industrial centres with the lot of those on out-of-the-way land settlements in the unexploited West. A splendid work is being done by religious organizations to bring them a measure of comfort and re- lief, but the need is too great to be met in this limited way, It is an effort which should appeal not mere- ly to all who profess and call them- selves Christians, but to every sym- pathetic heart which recognizes and admires the truly heroic virtues. British Colonial Empire Prospers Last year for the first time the British Colonial Office inaugurated the policy of making the essential de- tails of the economic position of the British Colonial Empire available to the general public in a compact form, observes the Montreal Star in this editorial. The work involved Is im- mense, and the volume just issued— the second of the series—deals only with. 1933 , unexpected difficulties having ,hampered the compilers, who announce that the year 1934 and 1935 will be dealt with in one volume be- fore the close of 1936. Economic events during the past few years have been so numerous and conflicting in their results as to ren- der the figures for two years ago in many instances out of accurate re- lation to conditions at the present time. The changes in the rubber and tin markets will readily suggest them- selves. It may be asked if rubber, for eatch foxes. I was aena, or the hu- instance, has been restored in the two roan eye. T was tarn, door of a l year interval to the pre-eminent place among colonial exports that it held r many years prior to 1930. In 1933, the Federated Malay States exported goods valued at $$11,900,000, of which more than half was represented by rubber, while tin came a good second with a value of $37,300,000. It is un - tent. Y was the human hand, fingers spread. The great alphabet mystery Is surprisingly simple in the light of the new discoveries. Other discoveries, too, are on the way. Men's first speech, it is now agreed, consisted of exclamations, of surprise, of fear, of reverence. I necessary to lay emphasis on the ef- Devotion was not difficult for early Sect, not only upon local re - teen. They had not then made them- selves many inventions to trick and !mislead them. It was easy for them to see that there was actually only ene mighty power—Through the simple objects and simple time they looked with simplicity and saw — God1 venues, but upon the ability of the Malay States to buy more goods over- seas. Such matters are typical of the vast field which the economic 'sur- vey of the British Colonial Empire by the Colonial Office embraces.

Excluding entirely the contri- butions which the self-governing Do- minions could make, the Colonial Em- pire can provide all that is necessary of tea, sugar, copper, cotton, petro- leum oil seeds and nuts. And though all of these are not susceptible of great extension, some undoubtedly are. For instance, it will come as a plea- sant surprise to many people to learn that Northern Rhodesia, which pos- sesses a large mineralized area of high economic value, has introduced a factor of the utmost importance into the world's copper situation. The Co- lonial Empire's cotton output showed Why at 40 You Think You're "GROWING OLD" It's Frequently Just an "Idea." Not "Old Age." And According to Scientists, Maybe Something No More Alarming Than A Touch Of Acid Stomach At about 40, many people think they're "growing old." They're tired a lot. IIave headaches. Stomach up- sets. Dizziness. Nausea. Well, scientists say the cause, in a great many cases, is merely an acid condition of the stomach. The thing to do is simply to neutralize the excess stomach acidity. When you have one of these acid stomach upsets, all you do is take Phillips' Milk of Magnesia after meals and before going to bed.

There is, of course, room for tremendous development here. So with tobacco and many other products. The soope for increase is indicated by the fact that the Colon- ial Empire, with an area of 2,146,000 square miles of land has apopulation of only 27.7 to the square mile, as ag- ainst 500. in Great Britain itself. The Survey shows that under nor- mal conditions the prospects for ex- pansion and increase of exports by the Colonial Empire are most promis- ing. While we in Canada are primar- ily interested in our own progress as a self-governing Dominion and a part of the British Empire, we have also a vital interest in the development of its colonial possessions, with whom our own trade is growing steadily, if not so swiftly as many of us could desire. The heartening thing is that the Colonial Empire is more than holding its own, compared with other world units. Climates Very Erroneously Called Bracing, Relaxing A good deal of refreshing common sense was talked at the recent meet- ing of the British Health Resorts As- sociation at Margate, says a writer in New Health Magazine. One point In particular, deserves emphasis, name- ly that the clmate of any given place must either be bracing or relaxing. In the lay mind, a "relaxing" climate is an unsuitable If not injurious one. Nothing could be more erroneous or mischievous. Quite often people call a place „very bracing" when all that s really meant s that its prevails ing winds are from north and east and that is really meant is that its prevail - scene other place whose prevailing winds are from south and west. If by "bracing" we -mean physio- logically stimulating then it is not merely a question of cold winds; there must be plenty of sunshine in an at- mosphere comparatively dry. Damp sunless cold is not bracing but phy- siologically depressing though no one would call it relaxing. One speaker suggested that the term "relaxing" as descriptive of a health resort be abolished and "se- dative" substituted. This is in keep- ing with sound psychology. There aro many people who need a sedative cli- mate, a mild warm climate whole a bracing place might kill. Very old people, persons with asthmatic, bron- chial and tubercular tendencies, some people suffering from rheumatism and gout, and many delicate children require the calming effect of a seda- tive climate. "Relaxing" had better go as a misleading and objectionable term. "I believe tbat the best stimulation for a long life is to have a cause to serve. .As long as I can stand up, I shall work for world peace." —Carrie Chapman Catt.
