SUNLIGHT
The idea of the ancient sun -wor-
shipper wasn't so far -wrong, after ell.
Modern science is discovering new
evidence all the time that the sun is
the chief source of the life-giving el-
ements that enter into the human
body.
One of the most spectacular is the
discovery that the brain itself is ir-
radiated by sunlight and has the pro-
perty of giving off sun -light. When
this was demonstrated by Dr. George
Crile, famous Cleveland surgeon, ev-
en the most experienced of his audi-
ence gasped in amazement. Not so
long ago it was discovered that cer-
tain cit, the vitamina which give cod -
live oil its nutritious properties can
be duplicated by exposing certain
types of food to direct "sunlight. The
invisible rays of the sun are far more
potent than visible rays. Those above
the spectrum, the ultra -violet rays,
have a profound effect upon the skin
and curative properties in many dis-
eases; those below the spectrum, the
infra -red rays, penetrate to the deep-
est tissues and carry the warmth of
the sun into the blood itself.
Scientific knowledge is just in its

She was polite and bowed to all with-

she would not be annoyed too much.
When she went out she wore sandals,

the regime of the Silver Tongued Or-

must no longer remain hedged in by
even such far flung barriers as are
theirs. They must'follow out beyond
those flashing lines of communica-

Canada spends millions, millions, mil-

that a first class country is still strug-

slipped up on the job. Who are they?
Those who conduct our' foreign af-
fairs, and the Canadians who travel
aboard. Any trade, no matter how
good the merchandise, must advertise
these times, and that is where a `roll-
ing stone comes in.
I find that everywhere I go, and
among the peoples, I have to enscribe
'Canada' on a big banner, so to speak,
and wave it -wildly. I am glad that I

of those dumb Canadians, isn't it?"

any more, and she hadn't recognized
me as such,.
We were on a fine Canadian boat,
with a splendid. Canadian, and British
crew, calling into picturesue British

sengers have strutted a bit, and brag-
ged a bit, instead of being the most
self effacing, unostentatious ones of
the lot. After all—
When I heard my room mate call
the Canadian National,Liner an Eng-
lish ship, I literally pounced. After a
few such encounters she remembered
that word, 'Canadian' Moreover, she
acted as if she Might talk n her sleep
and whisper 'English' so that I might
hear, and pounce again when she was
down.
I was recorded on the immigration
sheet for Trinidad as born in Canada,
race English. I was so burnt up I
eouldn't wet my whistle, I requested
to be informed,. why anyoee born in
Canada isn't Canadian anywhere in-

What the Government is giving to
people now is neither wealth nor op-
portunity. It is merely money, and
money which represents no wealth
that has yet been created but which
is being borrowed against the future,
must be made good by the labor of
ftuure generations.
