While it is we'll to heed every
word of caution from the leaders in
commerce and finance and to avoid
all speculative ventures that lack Il
solid business foundation, il is clearly
evident that there is no conspicuous
weak spot in Canada's present era of
prosperity. The Toronto Globe says:

might have gone on to relate the
great growth that is taking place in
Central Canada. where thousands of
Americans have made their homes
during the past few years. The past
calendar year has given to Canada by
importation an addition of 216,O0O to

It is said that an eminent japanese

with success that the acids Of lemons,
apples and some other fruits are ca.
pable of destroying all kinds and
varieties of the germs which cause
disease and pain in the human body.
The acids, citric and malic. contained
in the fruit juices probably have the

ty here lies in the absolute certainty
of the destruction of the bacilli by the
action of the lemon Juice. What is q
delicious drink to the human being
is here evidently a poison to these
micro-organisms.
Thus the two most dreaded diseases
in India-that is, Asiatic cholera and
typhoid fever-have a simple remedy
to checkmate their ravages. These
prevalent and universal diseases have
now this universal remedy. Lines

ply of lemons and oranges in the
times of epidemics could tide over
the infection with great credit.
