The poor, despised alley cat, along with her many relatives in other forms of high - society, are soon to come into their own. A despatch from Turkey states that cats are to form part of the staple diet of Tut. key. This is an official order from the president. Turkish authorities state that cat meat is tender and agreeable to the palate. Somebody discovers, or thinks he dis- covers, that man's ancestor is more re- mote than the monkey. He is said to have been an insect eating lemur, which leaped about catching birds and things in his bare hands Why stop at the lemur? Man's ancestor was the first spark of life in the void of the immeasurable universe. No matter what the form, man began to be made when life begun. And there is a reason. Although we are in the twelfth year since the war, Canada's pension bill is still increasing. According to figures giv- en in the Fnancial Post, the pension pays ments in this country ware 817,000,000 in 1919, $36,000,000 in 1921, $38 000,000 in 1924 and $40 000,000 in 1029, There is a a mov, ment at present fur more liberal treatment of returned men, but this does not refer to the scale of pensions alread y in force. It refers rather to cases in which the applicant has been receiving na pen- sion, or a small one, and finds that some disability has developed as a result of his war service which dad not show itself in the years immediately following the war. It is a very difficult matter in such cases to prove the origin of the trouble, but public opinion is strongly in favor of giving the returned men the benefit of the doubt. The Ottawa Govern. meet is introducing at this session leg. islation which will place such applicants in a more favorable position, Canada's pension bill will continue to grow for some years yet, but the men who fought over- seas have Maims upon their country which cannot be disregarded. o. 0OO .

There were 576 deaths resulting from automotive vehicles in the province in 1929, or an increase of 99, while the num- ber of deaths from accidents was 1950, or an increase of 227. However, the fatali- ties per 1000 vehicles in 1913 were six, as compared with 9.6 last year. If the ratio of fatalities for 1913 had been continued, there would have 660 last year instead of 70 deaths. Drastic changes are possible in the Fruit Act at an early date. Under the new amendments to the act, the number two and three apples would be eliminated and all apples of good color and No. 1 quality with a minimum diameter of one and sev- en•eighths inches in the case of the small type and two inches in the larger type will be graded No. 1, while lower colored fruit or that with'a little scab will be classed domestic. There will be only two grades in place of the four now existent. This is a result of the prejudice often expressed by consumers against anything marked No. 2 or 3. The new law would also in sist that the small No. I's be put in one package and the larger ones in another, *100.1uwuw•u.w11w,New.uwwl,.w.,.1►wnwno.,saw*own.w,rM,. -1 DR. W. J.

He said that "there is not the re- motest chance of such a drop in bread prices." He said further that "bakers buy their flour at the beginning of the crop season at a fixed price. and conse- quently fluctuations of the market do not affect the price of bread." A.

The : ports of eggs from the United States have now practically ceased for the current season. A few carloads are - ported to have come in recently but these had been purchased on a previous ord,r, The egg market has settled down quite early this year to a spring storing bask and prices at a majority of producing points are considerably lower than a ;ear ago. With mild weather prevailing in most producing districts it is not improb- able that the movement into storage will get under way in earnest within the next week or so.
