IA VACATION ADVENTURE OF
Qj A CODER/CH MAN Lit
(Concluded frau last week l
1 left my readers last week at the point
where the King of the Hasbeens expresaep
a desire to hear something of the water
supply of Canterich. After a good break-
fast we adjourned to the throne room and
the Kung announced himself ready to put
a few questions to me, commencing by
asking, "I,no Lice the water pressure at this
tire was not sufficient to reach one of the
buildings. What was the cause of this?
Had not the waterworks engineer been
notified that a fire was in progress?" 1
informed him that as far as I could
gather no noticed the fire had been given
to the engineer at hrst, but after some
considerable time had elapsed word was
sent, and from that time the pressure was
much better.
"But," said he "is there no connection
between the fire hall and the waterworks,
for it seems strange that all this valuable
time was wasted. What can a fire
brigade do without water?"
1 answered that the connection for the
waterworks was at the same place as
where the alarm bell was, but it was very
evident those who rang the bell were not
aware of this, and there were only a few
people who did know of its existence.
"It seems to me a bad arrangement,
friend," he replied. "Surely it is time
some better arrangement than this should
be ntadlr. But you spoke of the excellent
taste of the water which we gave you to
drink last night. 1s your town water
not as good as that?"
1 told him the water senna -days was
reeky horrible W drink, and one of the
townsmen even had complained that when
he used it to water his plants it killed
them. This was attributed to the pres-
ence of chlorine which was put into the
water to kill the typhoid germs. The
farther away from the waterworks a
persue lived the worse the taste, but the
nearer you were it was not so bad. At
this the King expressed surprise and asked
haw it could be accounted for. 1 ex-
plained that the water was taken from
the lake, and the intake pipe and�x
that .emitted the sewage were cxtsidered
to be too close together, and in con-
sequence there was every possibility of
getting a portion of this into the drink -
(ng water. Therefore the medical health
officer had advised that the water be
chlorinated, to offset this danger.
"Then," said theKing, "until the water
was chlorinated, which, by the by, causes
this bad taste, there was grave danger of
an outbreak of typhoid." I assured Ines
that at the present time there was not,
and had not been for some years, a case
of typhoid fever in the town. but this was
perhaps due to the use of the chlorine.

of Goderich to (muse them to be afraid to
drink the water, would you?" he asked.
"Certainly not," I answered,"but I believe
that it is only right that they should
know the true facts and then they have it
an their hands to 5lemand that the intake
pipe be extended further into the lake or
the sewage discharged where it will cause
no harm."
"Stranger, I am very much surprised at
what you tell me, said the King. "It
seems to me the responsible authorities
are lacking in the knowledge of their duty
to the people who by voting them to their
positions thereby placed confidence in
them to carry on the business of the town
and provide proper fire protection and
=and against anything prejudicial to the
health of the citizens. The citiiena, too,
are to be blamed kw stowing such apathy
towards these questions. They are living
on the edge of a volcano, yet do not seem
to realize it. Ye humans are surely
strange people. Once again, I say, glad
are the Spirits of the Hasbeens that they
xn
are not members of your amunity. "
As the term of my vacation was now
drawing to a close, I informed his majesty
that I would be much obliged if he
would kindly provide me with an escort
to the outer world. He at once called
the two dwarfs who had brought me
there, and in bidding me farewell said,
"Right glad are we that thou hast paid us
atvisit, and thou hast surely enlightened
us in the strange ways of the human race.
Whenever thy wanderings lead thee this
way again a hearty welcome awaits thee
in the sacred retreat of the Spirits of the
Hasbeens. Farewell, stranger. I trust
that all may yet come right in your town
and when thou returnest again thou wilt
have a tar different story to tell us."

MR. HANNA AND
FOOD CONTROLLING
Here are a couple of editorials on the
dictum of our National Food Controller
that he cannot interfere with the law of
supply and demand, taken from two Tor-
onto Conservative dailies.
The Mail and Empire says:
In his address at the luncheon of the
directors of the Canadian National Exhi-
bition, Hon. W. J. Hanna, Food Controller,
is understood to have said that it is im-
possible to fix the price of any commodity
in disregard of the law of supply and
denwnd. On that paint the food profiteers
could, but will not, respectfully take issur
with him. They are not boastful of their
achievement, but the fact is that they
have fixed prices in defiance of the econo-
mic
conomic law whose fiat Mr. Hanna treats with
such respect. When eggs were selling at
a do�l1lar a dozen, bacon at 50 cents a pound,
the large loaf at 24 cents, and other neces-
saries of life at corresponding rates, our
people paid the price, not altogether like
unmurmuring fatalists feeling themselves
in therip of the law of supply and de-
mand, but like travellers confronted with
the blunderbuss of a highwayman. The
modern gentlemen of the road hold up
the law of supply and demand and every-
thing else by turning into offensive
weapons the very economies science has
forged for the benefit of the people.
Even more emphatic and plain-spoken
is this from The World:
Hon. W. J. Hanna was in the city
yesterday. food controlling. It appears
to be something like fly-fishing, a long
time between rises, very few bites, and
nothing much larded yet. But we all bye
in hope.
What alarms us most about Mr. Hanna's
effects is his having succumbed to the one
sublime humbug that all the other con-
trollers everywhere have been able to
wrestle with and overthrow. It is better
to quote his own words:
"We cannot arbitrarily fu the prices of ,
any commodity in disregard of the law of
supply and demand."
It is well to read that over again and
et it well home. To think that this
hmry-headed fallacy, which is the basis of
the whole corporation policy, and sancti-
They Shall

The Immortal Cry of
Canada at the Second
Battle of Ypres.
The define of Ypres follow-
ing the first ghastly gas attack
April 22, 1915, exalts all
history. By it our men were
transfigured and the undying,
imperishable Soul of Canada
revealed.
In the name of these Heroes of
Ypres, Festubert, Givenchy,
Vimy Ridge, Lens,The Somme,
Verdun—aye and the Death-
less "Old Contemptibles"—
we beseech you, Women of Canada, to Dedicate
Yourselves and Your Families to War Service
by signing the Food Service Pledge.
The sacrifice is not great. We merely want you
to substitute other foods for part of the white
bread, beef and bacon your family now eat.
"What follows almost defies des-
cription. The effect of these poisonous
gases was •o virulent as to render the
whole of the line held by the French
Division practically incapable of any
action at all.
The Stand of the Canadians
"The left flank of the Canadian
Division was thus left dangerously ex-
posed to serious attack in flank, and
there appeared to be a prospect of their
being overwhelmed and of a successful
attempt by the Germans to cut off the
British troops occupying the salient to
the East.
"In spite of the danger to which
they were exposed the Canadtans held
their ground with a magnificent display
of tenacity and courage; add it is not
too much to say the bearingandconduct
of these splendid troops averted a dis-
aster which might have been attended
with the most serious consequences."

fies their doings when they give another
turn to the screw and put oil up another
dollar a barrel, or coal another dollar a
ton, should be cited by the Food Crontrol-
ler, who was placed where he is to knock
the laws of supply and demand into a
cocked hat, is to think oneself —arbitrarily .
—into Socialists or something worse.
Wake up, Mr. Hanna' Wake up! Since
August 4, 1914, there have been po laws
of supply and demand in the,. British
Empire, but only laws of life and death,
and with these laws we have keen fiddling
and frivoling too long.
If Mr. Hanna honestly believes that as.
Food Controller he can do nothing arbi-
trary then we are all mistaken and he is
not the man for the job.
