Many objections were made to the
old sabre, and these faults have been
corrected in the new type Of weapon.

force to fight down this proposition.

so-called "toney" advocates, conscious
from the start of their numerical
weakness, were conciliatory and per-
suasive, in the hope of thus winning
to their standard sufficient of the OPP
position to carry the day. These hopes
were dashed, however. when a vet

got the floor, and shouted in foghorn

men who travel in out-of-the-way parts

NO MEDICINE.
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the aliment-

A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any OF
the starchy food we eat--white bread.
pastry, potatoes, oats. etc.-these
things are digested in the small intes-
tines, and II we eat too much. as most
of us do, the organs that should di-
gest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, SO that fermenta-
ton, Indigestion, and long train
of ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest,
and this is changed into acids. sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloaty,
heavy feeling.
In these conditions change from
in1igestible foods to Grape-Nuts, will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a

Tea drinkers are finding scant en-
couragement in report recently
made by large tea exporting house
in Yokohama to Its American Gus
toners. Incidentally it indicates that
the United States is not alone in fac
ing increased cost of living. The re-
port says: Owing to the rapidly in
creasing cost of living in Japan labor
costs more, and in consequence cul'
tivation of the tea gardens is less
generous and extensive than formerly,
and less care and skill are expended
in picking and curing the leaf. Hence
the average quality of the teas now
offered for sale is below that of sea
sons prior to the war. and for the
same reasons we are not likely in the
future to see any reversion to the
excellence Of former years. New
