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. Ion would not tell this to the people r.a- rliiii i. r` '1!' i '1.. Nt , , MAGIC BAKING POWDER ( ON" INS NO fat UM 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." TRAVELLER. 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 Not Pass The Immortal Cry of Canada at the Second Battle of Ypres.

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."
