Buy Made in Canada goods NEW SPIRIT IN GERMANY'S CAPITAL The acid test of greatness for a •city as for an individual is the test- of sudden and complete change of status and the ability to meet the change. Many a man goes under when he sees financial ruin gather- ing about him, when he sees his fam- ily disrupted, and his cherished be- liefs shattered. Many a city of history has likewise bowed to fat when polit- ical storms or conquering heels have bruised it. But Germany's capital is young and strong. It has shown its courage and adaptability in a remark- able manner, for it has met changes as profound as any city has ever met. It has built order and hope out of chaos and despair. It is striding ahead to -day along a new and un- familiar way. Its four million in- habitants seemed imbued with fresh onfidence. One is impressed at once with two things in the Berlin of to -day, its atmosphere of work and its genuine sense of self-respect. Quiet, thorough, persistent work has • been accepted by -nearly all Berliners as the doctrine of salvation. Shops open early and do -not require the two-hour siesta at noon so essential in many countries. All day long the city hums with ac• tivity. Theatres, operas and ..oncerts start very early, many of them at seven o'clock. Except in the more or less international white light centre on Friedrichstrasse and adjoining streets Berlin goes to bed early, for sleep is essential to the program of work. In personal self-respect Berlin rates high. Short change, bad money, "mis- takes" in reckoning bills are prac- tically unknown. The personal appear- ance of the humble classes is univer- sally neat. The special smile of the tip -hungry is refreshingly absent from the faces of German servitors and in its place there is a cheerful expression as of persons intent on doing an honorable jab well. I am not an apologist or propa- gandist for Germany but I have be- come, after a cold start, n. genuine admirer of its present bas;- charac- ter. In Germany evolution has taken the place of revolution. Af;,ee years of tribulation and suffering the coun- try has made one of the most remark- able come -backs in history, and has taken her place among the truly democratic and liberal states of the world. There is a most amazing change from the imperial show and autocracy of former days to the pres- ent attitude of genuine democracy. The Berlin of to -day is a republican. stronghold. The constitution is called the most dramatic in the world. The reichstag is elected by universal suf- frage on the principle of proportion- al representation. Prussia's prepon- derance in the reichsrat, successor to the old bundesrat, or assembly of states, is definitely limited to a total : m00EX ()sum eur, pied' b inates. 'Museum island is well named, be- cause it contains at least five museums. which are altogether too much for the' three-day tourist who is trying to "do" erlin.. There is the Altes'Neneeune. of antiquities; the ^Neues 'Museum largely of Egyptian discoveries, but containing also the famous Pergamon sculptures; the Na- tional Gallery, containing many hun- dreds of modern German pictures; the Kaiser Friedrich Museum containing among other things some portraits by Hans Hodbein that really lodge in the memory of the casual beholder; and, lastly, the 'Schloss Museum of indus- trial art, a part of the former palace of the All -Highest. It comprises some eight hundred roams, of which. per- haps, ten per cent. are open to the public; even a tour of that number of rooms is almost too much for the average tourist. It is a relief to be able to escape to the peaceful repose of the Lust- garten, where one gazes down the long,. beautiful vista of Unter den Linden, or at the great Lutheran Domkircke, which is magnificent ev- en in baroque. In this cathedral one may listen to fine music. But one's spirit of exalta- tion is rudely punctured when the congregation begins to sing. The Lutheran hymns are fearfully and wonderfully dragged out, verse after endless verse, the congregation never quite catching up with the organist. From the Schlossibrueke across the park commenees the street which is often called the finest street in the world. 'Such an extravagant claim might be disputed by many another street, but Berlin's main street cer- tainly deserves a high rating. It con- tinues six miles from the Schloss- brucke under various aliases and it assumes a number of different roles. For the first mile and a half it is a civic centre and a business avenue. Then for two miles it is park as it passes through the Tiergarten. Then for three miles more it is a very broad and handsome suburban street run- ning through Charlottenburg. Unter den Linden proper is the backbcne of Berlin's civic life. Across the Linden is the crown prince's palace, now a museum of con- temporary art; the Opera House, one of three in the city, and the palace of William I. while surveying the whole, in the centre of the avenue, is a colossal equestrian figure of Freder- ick the Great. On passing westward along Unter den Linden one reaches the Brandenburg Tor modelled from the Propylaea of the Athenion Acrop- olis. Its central arch, formerly used only by the imperial family, is now used by autobuses and hucksters' carts and tourist charabanes Al- though it has lost some of its former glamor, it is still impressive. Beyond the Brandenburg Gate the avenue changes its name to Chariot- tenburger, Chaussee as it passes through the Tiergarten. This park is to Berlin what Central Park is to New York and more. It contains the Siege- sallee and the Siegessaule, which us- ed to make the German heart beat with pride and doubtless still does. It contains on its northern edge the great mass of the reichstag building, hub of German political life. It con- tains the Kroll Opera, hardly less sumptuous and perfect in its presen- tations than the Linden Opera, but at popular prices. It contains also on its southwestern edge the zoological garden, generally conceded to le the finest in the world. The Tie:garten holds the public fancy and centres Berlin life far more than Centra' Park for the life of New York's mil- lions. One day I watched a delightfully democratic session of the reichstag. There was no imperial chancellor to overawe the members, no shadow of apprehension lest imperial moustaches be twisted in anger, but there was the same free and disorderly debating so familiar in legislature. A very important business street in Berlin is Leipzigerstrasse, where there are countless small shops and two of the greatest department stores in the world, those of Wertheim and Tietz. Friedrichstrasse, with its numerous beer halls, is the heart of Berlin's cheerful night life, which has attract- ed international notice. The theatres and operas in Berlin are extraordin- arily good and one can be sure of an excellent performance. Ca Amazing Quick Way Pimples ended ao quick by"Sootba- Salva'' everybody is astonished.

Be • fore the cattle leaavre the pastures far the season, it is good practice to in- spect the 'whole herd for possible skin disease •qr ' parasites. Such diseases as ring -worm, .scab or mange. lice or warbles, are dangerous and each needs special treatment. Ring -worm is doubly dangerous because humans may contract it through handling or from currycombs and brushes. Tinc- ture of iodine applied daily following washing with soap and water will cure ring -worm, but scabies or mange need to be dipped in or sprayed with special solutions such as crude petrol- eum or equal parts of kerosene and cottonseed oil, which mixture is also recommended for lice. Na animal can give its best milk production or put on flesh when feeding such parasites. of two-fifths of the voting power. All acts of the executive must be coun- tersigned by a responsible minister. The reichstag building itself faces on the west the square named significant- ly platz, and on the east a street now named Freidrich Ebert Strasse. after Ebert, the first German president, a saddler. A striking symbol of the country's change of heart is in the person of the reich's second president, Paul von Hindenburg. At the time of his elec- tion, in 1925, following the death of Ebert, a wave of horror swept over allied countries. Everyone expected the kaiser finally to be back in the saddle. But Paul von Hindenburg had sworn to support the republic and no president ever kept his oath more loyally. Like Berlin, he had. turned his back on the past and his face toward the future. Berlin is not a city that takes the visitor by storm. It is absolutely flat and sprawls in its neat immensity over about 340 square miles. But it unquestionably grows on one. Its friendliness, it cleanness, the solid character of its hospitality soon build the city into one's affections. Most of the city's important build- ings centre largely in the neighbor- hood of Unter den Lindell and ' on Museum island at its eastern end. They are very numerous and grand and imposing, but less interesting than those of many cities.

''.(,'fiat is tq say, is yegetar•- ian who tells us tlu%t he has not eat- en anything for twenty-four hours, fails to wring our heart, He has his appetite pretty well disciplined and public opinion would be disposed to indifference, no matter how long he fasted. But as matters seem to work out, vegetarians as a rule belong to that class which can choose just what and when to eat. It is the meat -eat- ers who are likely to go short, and it would be a matter of the greatest difficulty to convince thein now that the less meat they ate the better it will be for them. It seems to be true that there are certain tribes and persons . ho can eat nothing but meat and seem none the worse for it. For instance, two Arctic explorers under observation at the Russell'Sage Institute of Patho- logy, New York, lived for a year ex- clusively on flesh foods. At the end of that timethey were found "mentally alert, physically active and showed no specific changes in any system of the body." Their blood pressure was not raised; there was no symptom of renal damage and vitamin deficiencies did not appear. The intestinal tract show- ed unimpaired efficiency of absorp- tion. The Journal of the Medical As- sociation of Chicago says: "Therewas no depression of mental faculties and no significant change in the carbon- dioxid combining power of the blood. These investigators failed to find any ill-effects from the prolonged use of the meat diet." It would seem to be obvious, therefore, that a meat diet, properly chosen, is not necessarily in- jurious. Here, as elsewhere„ temper- ance was probably observed. The 'men were not permitted to gorge them- selves on meat. Their occupations also might enable them to 'come scathless through an experiment which would have left its marks en others. Eskimos, of course, live and die without tasting any other food but flesh. A report is on record made by Thomas, who examined 142 Eski- moes accustomed to an almost ex- clusive meat regimen. We. quote a- gain from the Journal of the Medical Association: He found no elevation of blood pres- sure above the normal and rarely any evidence of renal disorder. There are other records indicating that Eskimos and other tribes accustomed to a life of hardship and endurance fail to show indications of harm attributable to their high protein intake. The flesh is admittedly an incomplete food. Its poverty in vitamins and some of the inorganic nutrients, not- ably calcium, is conspicuous. Rough- age likewise is lacking in the cus- tomary cuts of meat. The tribes or persons who are naturally adapted to a meat regimen include in their diet- ary not only skeletal muscle but also abundance of tissue fats, bone mar- row and various edible organs. This needs to be taken into consideration in any physiologic evaluation of flesh eating persons. An exclusive ration of lean muscle tissue is impossible be- cause of the physical limitaticros of the apparatus of mastication, if for no other reason." We seem to arrive, therefore, at the old truths embodied in the saying that what is one man's meat is an- other's poison, and that we should observe temperance in all things. An- alogies are likely to be misleading. It was Bernard Shaw, webelieve, who pointed to the bull as an example of the courage. virility and muscular strength that could be built lip on a vegetarian diet. One might as sens- ibly point to the lion or tiger which never eats anything but flesh, and yet seems fairly agile, powerful and fit- ted to survive. The roughage which these beasts devour probably consists of horns, hides and bones. Similarly those who insist that it is in the pro- per chewing of food that the secret is to be found might explain the ro- bust health of the dog. The dog chews nothing. Its teeth are used merely to grind bones or strip the flesh from them. Its food is invar- iably bolted. Yet it does not suffer from indigestion. Neither does it use a toothbrush twice a day and see its dentist at least twice a year. Crop Report by Counties. • Little change is indicated in the marketing condition in Brant County with little produce going to market. Over three tons of poultry were graded at the Winchester Poultry Fair in Dundas County and will be marketed through the farmers' poor. A very small amount of alfalfa hay has moved in Haldimand with prices from $10 to $12 per ton. Seven thou- sand barrels of apples have • been shipped out of the Georgian Bay district, with another seven thou- sand barrels on hand, according to the report from Grey. An increase in the amount of registered seed grain in Hastings is forecast with a decrease in red clover and alfalfa. Three cars of turkeys were shipped recently from Lambton to the Buf- falo' market, with fair prices obtain- ed. The number of fully accredited herds in Leeds is now 105, as com- pared with 72 a year ago. Lincoln farmers are paying from $13 to $18 per ton for good alfalfa hay. Peter- boro cheese factories report a satis- factory season as far as quantity is concerned, but laments the low prices. Dairymen in Peel have been notified to weed out the low -testing cows er else be shut off from the dairies. Live stock in Ontario are in good condi- tion as food is plentiful and cheap. Comparatively little demand for grain and seeds is reported from Renfrew with oats bringing about 24 cents. Live stock in North Simcoe is now better than average while in Temis- kaming a carload of feeder steers was brought into the district last week from Winnipeg. Fifty tons of crate -fed chickens and grain and stall fed geese were sold at the Arthur Street Fair in Wellington last week with good prices obtained for the quality product. News and Information.

While there is a marked improve- ment on the part of potato growers in the grading and marking of their product for sale, the general practice still falls short of requirements un- der the Federal Root and Vegetables Act. The Dominion Fruit Commis- sioner states that in Ontario alone over fifty infractions have been dealt with by his inspection staff so far this year. The general requirements for marketing potatoes are: They must be graded "Canada No. 1," "Canada No. 2," "Canada No. 3" or "Canada Fancy"; the grade must be marked by a tag on bags and by stenciling on barrels or other con- tainers, the marking to show the name and address of the grower and the grade of potatoes in the package. The regulations for grading and marking potatoes apply throughout Canada and infractions involve seri- ous penalties. A rack made of a piece of wood thirty inches long by three inches wide, with small headed three-inch nails driven in every two inches from one end to the other, makes a con- venient rack for the different spools of thread. (Any thickness of board may be used, so long as nails do not go through it, three inches is quite thick enough). If desired, the rack may be made to hold two rows of spools. Place screw eyes at the two ends of the rack, run picture wire through them and hang the rack in the sewing room. * * * When you find your postage stamp has no mucilage on the back, just moisten the back of stamp and rub it on the mucilaged flap of an en- velope and you are O.K.

US ANY HARM Has not a great deal of nonsense been talked and written on the sub- ject of dietetics? To which the an- swer would seem to be, why expect this subject, any more than any other, to be free from nonsense? Medical science and pseudo -science have been greatly pre -occupied with man's food in the past twenty years, and since it is a subject that abvious- •ly concerns everybody who eats food, it has attracted more general atten- tion, perhaps, than any other subject upon which physicians have debated. The pendulum has swung far in one direction, and now shows signs of returning in the other. It has reach- ed the point where men who might be accepted as authorities on the sub- ject and not mere propagandists for the packinghouse industry are saying that after all it is not such a bad thing to eat meat. It is admitted not to be a complete food, but, after all, no civilized person for many hun- dreds of years has supposed it was, nor has he lived on meat exclusively of his own choice. But no doubt mil- lions have been scared away from meat to some extent in consequence of the bad reputation that has been fastened upon it. Fair play for beef- steak, is our slogan. When the problem of the day for Canadians seems to be to find some way of disposing of some millions of bushels of wheat which nobody seems anxious to buy, it may not be par- ticularly timely to indulge in anti - vegetarian prejudices.

How would you like to lose your double chin and your too prominent abdomen, and at the same time make your skin so clean and clear that it will compel admiration ? How would you like to get your weight down to normal, and at the same tune develop that urge four activity that makes work a plleessli and also gain in ambition and keen- ness of mind? Get on the scales to -day and see how much you weigh—then get a bottle of Krvechen Salts. Take one-half teaspoonful every morning in a glass of hot water, and when you have finished the Brat bottle weigh yourself again. Now you will know the pleasant way to lose unsightly fat, and you'll also know that the six vitalizing salts of Kruschen have presented you with glorious health. That's the way Englishwomen keep slim—why not you ? Nobody knows better than Dr. Locke, though many thousands of Canadians perhaps know equally well, that there is no such agony as .aching feet. Ach- ing teeth are rather jolly compared with them. He also knows that when a man's feet are gone he is a'aout all gone. When his feet are tired he is tired in every bone of his body. He knows a whole lot more about feet for he has made a long special study of them. The consequence is that though he lives, metaphorically speak- ing in the wilderness, the world is making a beaten path to his door. as if he had invented a better mousetrap than is now on the market. Dr. Locke is a man about 50, and was born on a farm not farm from his present home. He is a graduate of Queen's, and took a post graduate course in Edinburgh in orthopedics. Returning he settled down in Wil- liamsburg' to general practice, but specializing in diseases of the feet and joints whenever such diseases were presented to him. For some time he was just one of the thou- sands of obscure general practitioners in the province. Then one day an American came to him. We do not know what was the matter with the American, but presume that he was one of those unlucky Americans who were ill and had tried all kinds of specialists in vain. He had, we pre- sume, been treated for everything but his feet. So Dr, Locke treated his feet. The effect was magical. He returned home shouting the praises of this Williamsburg doctor and other Americans began flocking to him. The news continued to spread u.ntil now, as we have said, Dr. Locke treats sometimes as many as 350 patients in a day. We do not know haw it is possible to do it, but we have the as- surance of the Ottawa Journal writer that it is a fact. It is very rarely that Dr. Locke uses an instrument. He depends up- on his own powerful hands to make adjustments after the manner of that famous plastic surgeon, Dr. Lorenz, pf Vienna.,His manipulations are generally pinful enough, but the re- sults are said to be swift and endur- ing. To make them so Dr. Locke insists that patients buy a specie: kind of arch supporter made cheaply by some nearby tinsmith or cobbler. Sometimes it is necessary for the patients .to return again and again, but since they are convinced that Dr. Locke is the only man in the world who can cure them it is not surprising that they return cheerfully. A local legend is to the effect that the Maya brothers offered to set up a special department for Dr. Locke if he would go to Minnesota, but that he refused. Another concerns an American mil- lionaire who, when he returned home, sent the doctor a cheque for $10,000, which he sent back. ft is also some- thing more than a legend that he warned the local hotelkeeper that if he started raising his prices for those patients of his who were staying with him that the doctor himself would build another hotel. Mr. Payne confesses himself puzzle"1 by the spectacle of a doctor who might be making $150,000 a year, but is con- tent with $50,000, and he is the first journalist we ever heard of who finds it difficult to understand how 5:50,000 might be a sufficient salary. To have the largest practice in the world must give Dr. Locke quite a thrill, and to force wealthy people to travel over rutty winter roads to a village of 400 population when with greater comfort they could, visit the great moguls of the profession in New York or Boston no doubt appeals to his sense of humor. We share with Mr. Payne curiosity as to whether Dr. Locke has made any important dis- coveries, or whether his success is purely a matter of technique as was the case with Lorenz. If he has hit on some new truth it will be little less than a calamity if he does not communicate it to the medical pro- fession. The possibility that the med- ical profession hail known it all along and ignored 'it is not of course, to be wholly disregarded. PHENOMENAL PRACTICE OF ONTARIO PHYSICIAN Do you know, as our distinguished colleague on the right would say, that the physician who has the larg- est practice in the world lives in a lit- tle Ontario town? If not, you will owe the information to J. Lambert Payne, of the Ottawa Journal, who recently wrote an article about Dr. M. W. Locke, of Williamsburg, in the county of Dundas -Grenville, about 42 miles from Ottawa. Dr. Locke is a foot specialist, and sometimes as many as 350 patients pass through his hands in the course of the day. He may begin work at eight o'clock in the morning and not finish until midnight. Each patient pays him just one dollar—count it—neither less nor more, but just one dollar. If it should be necessary for the patients to 'have two or more treatments. in the course of the day the dollar covers them all. People come to Dr. Locke from distant parts, many of them from the United States, and some, of them from Toronto and other Caned ian cities farther west. Some go by train and limp to his offices. Most of them, however, roll up in their cars. Sometimes it is necessary for the doctor to go out to the cars and treat them there, so crippled are they. How many cures he makes we do not know. But there seem's to be a kind of no. tion that he is a miracle man. Dr. Locke does not believe that ah the ills of the body are to be traced to the feet, but he does believe that more of them are caused by the faulty adjustment of the 'bones of the foot than most people suppose. He• is a- ware hoar extremely prevalent fallen arches are, that they are, as a mat- ter of fact, quite as prevalent as pyor- rhea. Ile may be aware—or if not, we have the advantage of him n this point for •a• non ent.that last year some 4,000,000 worth of what is call- ed oorrettive,. foatwear was imported ft'dM the United States to Canada.
