THE HURON EXPOSITOR AN IIIEAL STATESMAN Through the course of history, cer- taro- men have been singled out from their fellows, and have, re- ceived the - appellation of states- men, either at the hands of them own generation or more frequently from appreciative posterity. Such men have won their name through service to their native land -having offered themselves as sae- rifices upon the Altar ofState. The nature of their service has even dif- fered. Embodied in some was 'that cold, calculating ambition, which caused them to consider themselves not as belonging to their state; but their state as belonging to them. Accordinly Napoleon, Bismark or Metternich, launched into war,- for which they displayed a mar ellous genius. They.strove by a few strokes of the sword, , to raise themselves to the highest pinnacle of glory, only bettering the domestic life of their people, when such a course was pre- judicial to the welfare of their ea- eznies: all other motives were mit Burned by the fire of their insatiable ambition. There is another type of statesmen with whom are numbered Gladstone, Pitt the. younger, Lord John Russel and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. These were by all rules of human nature, "peace ministers," for whom the sun of suc- cess shone only ,in the mellow years of peace. Their energetic genius could only find expression in the peaceful life of the people -bettering health and living conditions, extend- ing recreation, developing their • in- dustries, educating them, and open- ing the doors to social and political opportunities. All very well in its place and all very necessary to the evolution of mankind! yet these very "peace ministers," by opening the road to power, were but offering tempting allurements to restless hu- manity and precipitating a situation which proved their . own destruction. The devouring seas of war drowned their 'opportunities, and swept bare their frailties. -, Now, I have touched on two dis- tinct types of statesmen, whose ser- vices conflict with each other. They are the, two extremes. So far I have riot found the subject of this essay. "An Ideal Statesman," and as a mat- ter of fact I never will -for we live in anything . but a modern "Utopia." However, there have always been a few individuals,whom we in our benignant moods have been inclined to consider ideal. Of course a little study bursts the bubble; but the mere fact, that an individual was or is considered ideal, means that he was or is that much nearer to the ideal. So, I have considered David Lloyd George an 'ideal stateman, then, af- ter some` study have seen that he is not -ideal; but compared with his contemporaries '(and remember hu- man judgment is based primarily on comparison) David Lloyd George, is ideal. Statesmen of this century have been privileged to secure a thorough edu- cation, permitting a smooth start in. life. Their people have been able to supply their ordinary wants, and each successive position has brought con- siderable compensation. Not so with Lloyd George. He embarked upon the turbulent Stream of Life, 'poor in pocket and an orphan. Space per- mits mentioning the crises of his career only. The Welsh orphan, at the age of twenty-one, was standing before the bar of the highest judicial body in the world-wide British Em- pire -pleading his cause before the brilliant assemblage of the House of Lords, and . facing the opposition of the strongly entrenched, Established Church. What contrast of setting to his boyhood "speeches" in the vil- lage smithy! So well did he plead his cause that the Lords gave him the ,verdict. His name echoed through all England, and the people re- cognized in him a formidable champ- ion of their grievances. Lloyd George was elected to the House of Com- mons. Then his career really began. In him was (and still remains)_that fighting spirit which before the strongest opposition is invincible. Lloyd George attacked all, and sun- dry, making the powerful his espec- ial object. Witness strong Joseph Chamberlain wincing from the sting ing lash of his tongue! His speeches drew on him the concentrated fire of infuriated members; but each at- tack left him undaunted, bringing confusion and false security to en- emies, and publicity to himself. Premier Asquith invited Lloyd George to accept the Chancellorship of the Exchequer in his newly -form- ed cabinet. Here followed the great crises. The Conservative Lords • "threw out" every bill presented by the Liberal government. Lloyd George accepted the challenge. He intro- duced an annual budget, having pro- vision not only for usual , exrienditure, but also for money to assist the poor. The Lords saw the latter and prompt- ly "killed" the Budget. Then the little Welshman had them exactly where he wanted them. By rejecting a Finance Bill they had broken the constitution. Parliament was dis- solved: a hot campaign ensued. The result was the Lords no more could hold up legislation for more than three successive sessions; and as -be- fore, could not hinder the passing of money bills. By this victory David LIoyd George had broken the Lords, and altered the century -tried consti- tution of the United Kingdom. The National. Health Insurance System of Lloyd George provided care for the aged and infirm in penury and illness; and give the British workman a sound bulwark of domes- tic 'happiness.. Then over the clear horizon line rolled dark clouds of the World War. Lloyd George hav- ing reached the highest record as a "peace minister," despite many stormy squalls, was now to be tried by the cyclones of war. Gradually it became apparent to the people of the British- Isles, that Lloyd George was the strong man of the. government, and that the great responsibilities were falling on his shoulders, more capable than which did not exist. There was ample room for his indomitable fighting spirit, his great organizing genius and his inspiring speeches -the very existence of the British Empire was threatened, and with it, all that Christianity stands for.

British Finance, dis- rupted by war, was in a perilous sit- uation, which seemed likely to par- alyse all activity. Llyod George mas- tered the problem, and piloted the unstable craft to safety, receiving the acclamation of both political parties. Seeing the need of complete gov- ernment reorganization, Lloyd George swiftly and and sefely upturned - swiftly and safely upturned Asquith's government, and formed a coalition with himself as Minister of Munitions -Prime Minister in all but name. Again his influence was felt, secur- ing the co-operation of Capital and Labor, overseeing the great arsenals, and planning new and enlarged fac- tories for the manufacture of every kind of equipment. Asquith step- ped out: Lloyd George took his place at the helm as the -King's Prime Min- ister, having complete control of every department of administration. He was practically a dictator; That a very welcome dictator to the British people. For the rests of the war-; but everyone knows/ the rest: Lloyd George saved the British Empire: the British Empire saved the world, and some day when all facts are known, a grateful world will recognize its debt, and pay its homage to the statesman -one of history's immor- tal few who stood "four-square to all the winds that blew" whether of peace or war. The Peace proceedings are of two recent date for one to, accurately judge the part, played by three great statesmen -Lloyd George, Wilson and Clemenceau; yet we do know that the statesman of the Empire is still "carrying on," maintaining the integ- rity of our wide -spread dominions. England is secure only as long as she is unapproachable by sea. The bal- ance of power theory is the only theory which has . strengthentd her sea control, and kept Europe at peace. For years before 1870 this theory was dead. English, Foreign Policy was too weak and hence is partly due the Franco-Prussian War, the Crimean War and the World War.

I am recommending the Vegetable Com- pound with pleasure to all I meet who complain as I did. "-MILDRED BROOK, Meaford, Ont. ish Lion was. sleeping. At present it is urgently necessary that the system be revived. Lloyd ,George's influence has in no small measure accomplished its revival. He has knit in closer union Great Britain, France, Spain, !. Italy, U. S. A. and even our former enemy, Austria. Not only that, to. Lloyd George and Wilson is due the credit for the League of Nations; and no matter how iznpractable its altruistic policies • may seem, .the League of Nations is, as a balance of power, the one strong suretly of world peace. We see evidence - of Lloyd George's sagacity in the pres- ent social and economic problems. He is firm for moderation, and a renewal of trade' with Russia, and Germany, which in my opinion, is the only solu- tion to the "Bolsheviks" and Exchange problems. In this then do .I consider David Lloyd Geg rge ideal. He has proved capable of governing in the days of peace, attending to the quiet domestic life of his people. He has proved cap- able of eontrollinr the resources of the greatest Empire in her greatest struggle for liberty; and he has been equal to . the task of consolidating what that Empire has won. G.

THE REASON WHY Why is bread so important? -The history of bread as a food reads like a romance. It` has played an im- portant part in the destinies of man- kind and its struggles through the Ages to perfection. The progress of nations through their different periods of development can be traced by the quality and quantity of bread they have used. No other food has taken such an important part -in the civilization of man. - To a • large extent it has been the means of changing his habits from those of a savage to those of a civil- ized being. It has supplied the peace- ful pursuits of agriculture and turned him from war and the chase. It is an interesting fact that the civilized and the semi -civilized people of the earth can be divided into two classes, based upon their principal cereal foods -the 'rice eaters and the bread eaters. Everyone admits that rice eaters are less progressive, while bread eat- ers have always been the leaders of civilization. It is an interesting fact that just as Japan is changing from a rice -eating nation to a bread -eating nation she is asserting her power. Anyone who stops to consider the history of nations will. see that this - matter of what we eat is the one ques- tion of vital - importance. Bread is One of the earliest, the most generally used and one of the most important foods used by mail. Without bread the world would not exist without great hardship. On bread alone a nation of people can exist, and to sit down to, a meal with- out it causes us to feel at once that something is missing. What was the origin 'and meaning of bread? -Bread is baked from many substances, although when we think of bread we usually think of ' wheat bread. It is sometimes' made from roots, fruits and the bark of trees, but generally only from grains such as wheat, rye, corn,etc. The word bread comes from an old wordThray, meaning to pound. This came from the method- used in preparing the food: Food which was pounded was said to be brayed, and later this spell- ing was changed to bread. Properly speaking, however, these brayed er ground materials are not really bread , in our sense of using the term until they are moistened with water, when it becomes dough. The word dough' is an old one, meaning to "moisten." This _dough was in olden times im- mediately baked in hot ashes, and a hard indigestible lump of bread was the result. Accidentally it was dis- covered that if the dough was left 'for a time before baking, allowing it to ferment it would, when mixed with more dough, swell up and become porus. Thus we got our word loaf from an old word lifian, which meant to raise up or lift up. When was wheat first used in mak- ing bread ?-It is not clearly known when or by whom wheat was discover- ed, but it seems to have been known from the earliest times. It is men- tioned in the Bible, can be traced to ancient Egypt, and there are ,records showing that the Chinese cultivated wheat as early as 27-00 B. C. To -day it supplies the principal article for making bread to all the civilized na- tions of the world. Will wheat grow wild ?-This is a question that has puzzled the world's scientists for more than two thousand years. From time to time it has been- reported by investigators in various parts of the world that here and there wheat has been found grow- ing wild and doing well, but every time a further investigation is made, it develops that the wheat has been cultivated by some one. There is as yet no evidence for believing that wheat will grow in, a wild state. 4101 -Thursday evening of last week an open session of Western Star Lodge, I. 0. 0. F., Na 149, Brussels, was held when the brethren were in- vited to bring their ladies and enjoy a few hours in the comfortable lodge rooms. A large company responded and a most enjoyable time was spent. Early evening was spent in games and about 8.40 Noble Grand Wilton called upon Postmaster F. S. Scott, as the oldest member, to preside. A well /arranged musical programme was rendered, solos being well sung by Misses Verne Walker, Isabel Stratchan and F. IL Gilroy and a fine quartette by Misses Walker, Strachan and Fax and Mrs. R.
