right to vote." This was a query , an-
swered by Alexander",$ttiith,'barrister;
of Ottawa, at a. .qetiug of natural-born
and, naturalized British suttjectti"in` that
city recently. The reply by way of ill-
ustration givete to this inquiry, was:
"Well if you were born in Mexico
of Mexican blood you are entitled to
vote.{ if you' are French, *dr' Swiss, dr
Norwegian, or Swede, or Norman, or
Dane, or Belgian or any other European
or any other non -British blood what-
ever and born outside'of the Continent
of North America, you may not be put
on the voters lists and vote without now
getting a special certjficate'from a judge
that you could be naturalized in your
own right, no matter how many years
overtwenty-one you may now be. When
your father was naturalized you also be

a great grandfather. No matter what

that your father was naturalized and

ficates. The lack of court records or of
certificates handed to th naturalized
i persons a' kept in the cpert will be a
great .,anaicap.
Mr. Smith concluded 't., stating that
if a person were not a British subject
when he came to Canada he could not
be entitled to vote unless he became na-
turalized and if he had not become nat-
uralized his wife and any children horn
to him before he came to Canada would
not have been naturalized either. They
therefore, would not be entitled to vote

blood if you were born in Canada or
other Britsh part of the world you are
a Brttsh subject the world aver in your
own right anal wejutd not need proofs or
certificates o any kind."
Continuing, Ar. Smith explained that
the old naturalization act was In force
for over 50 years. A new act was passed
by the Parliament of Canada In 1914.
The 1914 act was repealed by the act
'of 1919, but this later act was repealed i
in 1920 and the act of 1914 restored
'with amendments. Practically, however
the act of 1914 has been in force since
it was passed in 1914 and continues' in,
force. in 1914 it was 'felt that the old
uct should be cut off at once so it was
continued until January 1, 1918 and up '
to that date an applicant could use eith
er act, but the old act gave naturalizat-
ion in Canada only whereas the new act
gives worldwide citizenship. Under the
old act in force for over 50 years when
a man became naturalized, and children
horn out of ';anada and not of age and
living with him at the time of his nat-
uralization became naturalized also; but
yup to 1902 no court record was kept ot-
their naturalization, but the word of the
person naturalized was taken as evid-
ence of naturalization. The wife and
children (not born in Canada) became
automatically naturalized in Canada at
the time father was naturalized whilst
the children born in Canada were nat-
ural-born British subjects the world
over, .
By the act of 1914 when a man is
naturalized, his wife becomes naturaliz-
ed but if he wishes to include in his car
1'fieate his children he must so mention
theta, for if not,they will not he natur•
alined simply because he is naturalized.

HOW TO BE HEALTHY
DURING THE WINTER
Many' Troubles May be Avoided if
the Blood is Kept
Pure.
Do not let your blood get thin this
winter. For people who have a. tendency
towards anaemia, or bloodlessness, wint
er is a trying season. Lack of exercise
lack of fresh air, and a more restricted
diet are among the things that combine
to lower the tone of the body and weak
en the blood.. - •
As soon as yu notice the tired feeling
lack of appetite and shortness of breath
that are warning symptoms of thin
blood take a short course of treatment
with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Do not
wait until the color has entirely left
your cheeks, until your lips are white
and your eyes are dull. It is so much eas
ier to correct thinning of the blood in
the earlier stages than later. This is well
illustrated in the case of Mr. 5, M. Day,
Newcastle Bridge, N, B. who says:
"Front my own experience with Dr, Will
iams' Pink Pills I can most heartily re-
commend them. Some time ago I was
badly run down and me blood seemed
thin and watery, accompanied by the
usual symptoms of this condition. A
friend recommended Dr. Williams Pink
Pills and after taking several boxes 1 felt
like a new man."

the chief fasheriee of the United

12,200,000,000 herrings are landed in
Britain during the moon.
Hundreds of fishing craft nail out
from northern and southern porta to
reap a harvest amongst the shoals
as they travel down the eaei coasts
of Seotland and England. What a
mixture of craft there often is fol-
lowing the shoals on their journey,
strangers most of them to the dif-
ferent districts, except at this au-
tumnal harvest of the sea.
FnIlowing on behind the smacks
come the steam -trawlers, and only by
yielding up their catches can the
fleet keep up with the shoals. In
rough seas the transhipping of the
fish is po easy task, and not a few
nasty accidents happen. The work
is very often carried out at night
with the aid of artificial tights, so it
can be imagined how precarious the
task of transhipping becomes. With
the swaying trawlers, false shadows
are thrown by rigging and hulk,
baulking the fishers when throwing
the cases aboard.
In the small rowing -boat, low in
the water owing to the cargo piled
amidships, the men leave the smack's
side. At every pull of the oars, the
boat rises, then sinks in the trough
of the sea with a resountiin.g crack,
like that of a pistol -shot. Then
strong arrns are needed to prevent
the open boat from being battered
to pieees against the eteel plates of
the trawler's aide. With wonderful
balnnee, one of the iiahnrmen stands
in the reeking craft., wetting his
chance to throw the Oases aboard at

eye and a quick hand to threw the

• 'World? '
'Scientists now declare that comets
carry live disease germs. They fur-
ther state that It is possible for these
germs' to travel to earth from other
worlds on the tails of comets. .
This is not so extraordinary as it
may seem, if we examine the facts.
What is a comet? Scientists tell
ds 'that stoat comets are pieces of
other planets which have been rent
asunder by sone unknown cause. We
are further told that these cornets
may contain innumerable millions of
the germs which lie in all kinds o1
elements, :end I.hat microbes can 're-
main inactive but alive for long per-
iods of time.
Itis possible for germs to be whirl-
ed through space in a comet, and,
under favorable conditions, to attack
human beings and animals after
reaching our atmosphere.
Germs are known to have passed
millions of years in an inactive state,
both in the desert and at the frozen
polar extremities of the earth.
The reputed nine lives of a cat are
nothing to the tenaciousness of life
of the average microbe.
At any rate, it is of interest in
connection with this new theory to
recall that some species of plague ]las
followed the apeearance of every big
comet in the past.
This happefted in the case of the
Black Death, which ravaged Europe
and Asia in the fifteenth century,
claiming scores of thousands of vic-
tims. The recent epidemic of influ-
enza followed the appearance of Hal-
ley's comet. It is on record that a
comet which visited us in 1551 pre-
ceded a serious epidemic of disease.
Scientists have been probing tite
question for many years. A consider-
able time ago Noah Webster wrote a
book on the subject, and he came to
the conclusion that not only comets
but earthquakes and volcanic erup-
tions were always followed by alarm-
ing outbreaks of disease.
He quoted the fact that caged birds
have often died before human beings
are affected, proving that contagion
from others was not the cause of
their death. His reoorde show that
the epidemic of 1176 was almost
almultaneous With an eruption of
1Rtna; that in 1557 an eruption of
ACtna was again the etgnal for an
epidemic; and that the epidermic of
1610 coincided with eruptions in Ice -
laud and earthquakes.
It ie strange how th.eoriee have
dtftered as to the cause of the peeti-
lenees which have ravaged mankind
tbrougbout the centuries.
Hippocrates, the most celebrated
phyelefan of antiquity, evolved the
doctrine that they were due to the
quality of the ah'; and Sydenham,
an eingiteh expert, held similar views.
In support of tfient it was pointed
out •that certain diseotes appeared -in
various oountrlea at the same time
(as was the ease with the last epi-
demie of influenza), and that title
showed that they were due to the
same general causes.
The ancient Egyptians believed
that epidemics were brought by fly-
ing serpents, and paid great homage
to the ibis, a bird which rendered
nsetul service by destroying these
pests. Whether there was a "Swat
that serpent" campaign in those days
is net recorded:
Italians In the seventeenth century
inscribed the origin of influenza to cer-
tain stars which had an evil influence.
Modern scientists are inclined to
agree with the theories of Hippo-
crates and Sydenham. Some experts
scoff at the suggestion that disease
is borne from other worlds on the
tails of comets, but the more pro-
gressive scientists are giving con-
siderahle attention to the subject, e
