is viewed from several angles.

Insurance Records Prove Moderat€
Drinking Increases Death -rate 35%
j IFE Insurance figures prove that the excess of deaths among moderate
Ldrinkers over abstainers runs from 11('0 to 74%. It is the business
of Life Insurance Cd panies to know the risks a man takes when he
uses liquor. These Insurance men have no theories to prove and f
doctrine to preach. Their figures are as cold as ice, and they make you
pay for the risks you run. To them it is simply business—a matter of
dollars and cents. Rut to you it is a matter of life and death.

He took Hon. 1 B. Lucas to tasli•.for
his failure to prosecute the profiteers, and
drew attention to the fact that all Liberal I
attempts to get a commissionto investi-
gate rural conditions had been voted
down by Conservatives. In addition he
again voiced a protest against Premier 1
Hearst's failure to give the people of the
Province the date -upon which the eleo- }
tions are to be held.
"It is contemptible and wrong that not
one of us here knows when that election
is to take place for which you are nomin-
ating a candidate.' said Mr. J. D. Mac
Gregor of Halton county In opening.
"The Ontario Government today are
masters and they look on the people
as their servants.'' He took the Govern-
ment to task for holding three elections
since 1905, while the present House had
not seen an election in (fix sears. "There
are 140.001) fewer on the (arms today
than when the Conservatives came to
Power.' he stated. in declaring that the
policy of the Government, or rather lack
of policy. was responsible for the decline
of agriculture in the Province. Ontario
farms were being de-erted and 100,000
cres were going hack to gra-s every
t aro All the Government had done dur-
in the war to help production was to
sec a seed grain and this grain came too
