Macnab Wilson, general manager are probably abovo the average fox’ for the Ontario Society for the Preveu-J Canada; but ovoxx so, Mr.. Wilson de- tion of Cruelty to Animals, it is as Clares that there Is much loss and kindness when compared with some ‘ much suffering that could be elimin- ■of the other evils , lxe is striving to 1 -eradicate from the meat industry. The fright and physical pain of the abat­ toir are at worst quickly over; the un­ intentional torture that sometimes precedes them may last for hours, or -even days. For years the society has been wag­ ing a constant battle to’ easo the lot of tlxe unfortunate food animals that pass through the stock yards and abattoirs; and ixx some respects it has been winning steadily. The treatment of crippled animals at the stock yards is now prescribed by humane considerations. General pro­ vision for the care and feeding of animals is carefully made and super­ vised. But the worst abuse of all, •carelessness or ignorance in loading, stiil heaps its needless misery on a .given quota every month, Crowded Cars. Sleek from the feeding stalls, a ship­ ment of cattle are bought by a drover •a day’s journey away from the city. For: the flrst time in their lives they And themselves on the open road, and their natural nervousness is height­ ened by tho hustling they get from half a dozen men armed witlx heavy sticks on the way to tlxe railway ■Once there, the hustling is intensified -as they aro loaded into railway cars. There may not be enough to fill the cars completely, and they stand, loose­ ly packed together with space to move ■about iix the car. It is this space that ■causes the mischief. Let an engine “kick” one of these cars off the ing, and the cattlo will surge to send, scrambling to keep their feet. If ■one of them.goes down it is trampled by the others. Tells of Injuries. "Have you ever ridden in. a cattle -car?” asked Mr. Wilson in discussing tho subject—“well, I have; and I havo seen a cow turn a complete ..somer­ sault when the cai' was shunted.” Broken legs,. broken horns, bruises and dislocated joints are the result; and frequently the animals thus in­ jured lie without attontioix until they reach tho stock-yards. In cases of mixed loading, matters become worse. The law requires that cattle, sheep or swine, if loaded in the same car, must be separated by par­ titions from each other. Tlxe law’s re­ quirement in this respect is practical­ ly always fulfilled; but frequently the partition is too flimsy and collapses under tho weight of the animals. During tlxe present winter, carloads of animals have reached the stock- yards in which sheep had been tramp­ led underfoot by cattle and died a lin­ gering death, hogs beexx crippled in ’ tlxe same manner, and calves horribly mutilated. It is not an uncommon oc­ currence for hogs, in such axi accident to attack the disabled animals witlx ( them and commence to eat them alive. Carload of Cripples. “Onco within the past six months,” Mr. Wilson states, “I saw a big hog munching at tlxe shoulder-blade of a crippled calf that was bellowing Cor | mercy.” In another carload that, reached the stock-yards recently there were only seven animals able to walk; tho rest wore either dead of cripplo-l and helpless. "Wherever such cases seenx attribut­ able to negligence on tlxe part of the shipper prosecution follows; but the Humane Society authorities arc seek­ ing a better remedy. A type of par­ tition that is easily installed and ab-1 solutely secure has been devised; and an effort is on foot to have its use eu-« forced by the Dominion . Board. If such a regulation caxx be 1 secured it is felt that it-will eliminate ■one of tlxe worst features of stock industry; and with it mous waste as well as much suffering. Fox' the protection of the from unnecessary hardship, ■constable is constantly on duty at tho ■stock-yards, and with the co-operation of the packing-houses Ills efforts havo accomplished definite improvement in several respects. One of the difficul­ ties that has been met is the disposal of unweaned calves. Formerly it was not infrequent for these little crea­ tures to gefhungry sometimes for days before they were slaughtered. Now, however, veal calves aro disposed of on the day of their arrival, are turned over to nurse cows at night; while immature calves left unsold are killed at once. A recent amendment to the criminal code ment of calvos cept when the them has dono lions in this last respect. Formerly, also, crippled animals were sometimes reshipped from tho yards in tho same car V/lth others of their kind. Tills’ practice has been completely stopped; and the slaugh­ tering of cripples is done as soon after their arrival as possible. Crippled cattle are killed before being removed from the cars; special “cripple wag- I I I 1 ! come along and sid- one the live- an enor- needless animals a police 11 ted, “Every blow a bruise and every bruiso a loss" is a slogan lxe wants posted up at every shipping point in Canada. Tho number of carcasses that have to be graded as third-rato meat for no reason except the bruises that sticks, stones, whips and other ill-treatment havo inflicted is, he de­ clares, appalling. “The government,” he states, “spends thousands of dollars annually iix improving live-stock; eliminating the scrub bull, importing new breeds, training boys and girls in tlxe art of judging cattle and otherwise envour- aging production of tlxe best possible type of carcass for our meat-packers. It is time that it also took active measures to check the continual loss from degradation of what would-other­ wise be prime carcasses, through the ignorant or brutal mishandling of the animals oix their way to the abattoir.” No More Small Five-Cent ieces A Very Close Call !>x®44$?

All kinds of liver—calf, beef, pig, chicken and goo.se livers—are good. While calf liver is more delicate and delicious than that of beef, the latter is the one to use when blood building inteersts you more than the pleasure of the palate.

QUICK VERDICT New York.-—Robert Whitman, suave, but spurious nobleman, broko so many feminine hearts bank accounts in this country before the law caught up with him, was con­ victed recently of grand larcenry. The jury which brought in the ver­ dict carrying a maximum penalty of ten years imprisonment, considered the case less than 30 minutes. In that time the jury decided that “Lord Beaverbrook,” the name under which the defendant was alleged to have wooed and robbed more than a score of wealthy women, was guilty of stealing 70,000 worth of jewelry i from Mrs. Rose Burden, one of hlaT former admirers. The “nobleman's” classic features remained undisturbed as the foreman of the jury read tho verdict. There was a slight arch of the eyebrows, in­ dicating perhaps a degree of disap­ proval, but nothing more. Whitman was led back to the Tombs to await the results of the approval which his attorneys are determined shall set him free. “Lord Beaverbrook's" defense was that 'the jewels had been a “gift” straight from the heart of the hood­ winked Mrs. Burken.----*---- Spanish Author Dies in France Biasco Ibanez Succumbs at His French Riviera Home Paris.—Biasco Ibanez, author, who was best known for the “Four Horse­ men of the Apocalypse,” died at his home on the French Riviera recently, He was suffering from bronchial pneumonia, diabetes and pleurisy.

His caustia attacks against the King led to his conviction but Ibanez kept out of reach of the Spanish Government by exiling himself in France.

There is only one way to achieve ade­ quate security In this world and that is, first, by maintaining armamenta sufficiently strong so that you com­ mand influence, and then by using that influence to establish treaties, principles of agreement, machinery of adjustment which will allay dis­ trust, compose quarrels and permit the constructive forces in all nations to unite against the destructive ones. The idea, which now prevails in some quarters in Washington, of achieving security without political agreement is as foolish as if bankers should at­ tempt to stabilize credit by doubling the police force.----------$------— Church Union New York Sun: The movement to­ ward church union has all along been one of individuals rather than of ec­ clesiastical organizations.
