tons from the most varied Jewish
quarters that, abandoning any fur
Their belief in Christian goodwill
and diplomatic promises, we should
now try to obtain Palestine by force
of arms. 1t is pointed out by these
irresponsible and itinerant Mac
cabaeans that we have in the rival
forces half a million men under
arms, and that from these a Jewi.
Army could easily be marshalled
The suggestion lacks unfortunately
any practical basis, but it serves to
illustrate the irony of the Jewish sit
uation. And the competitive EARTH
hungers, the mutual jealousies of the
Powers over every tract of land,
however barren, the inane valua-
tons which are at the root of this
world-tragedy, bring home to the
Ito that any hopes based on unset
fish Christian sympathies are DOOM
ed to extinction. Even England
the most quixotic of the European
Powers, will only help Jewry if to
do SO is not against her interest. 1t
is true the Ito has never relied upon
Christian charity or even upon
Mohammedan, but has always offer
ed guild pro quo in the shape of a
labour-force financially backed, and
the evolution of population which
would be an asset to it's suzerain
State. Even this, however, is the
language of reason and it is Ian
guage as yet very imperfectly COM
pretended by contemporary bar
barism, which regards an empty
piece of territory as an overfed dog
regards a bone, something to be
snarled over, but never surrendered.
The greatness of country is CAL
culated not only by its soul but by
its size, and in this calculation the
uninhabited regions are counted in
the same category as the populated.
Occasionally statesman in a hu-
man desert like Australia wakes up
to the need of population but the
masses still hug the delusion that
the dearth of labour is the work.
ingman's blessing, and even the
statesman, mistaking his Continent
for a country, insists that one
homogeneous culture-his own of
course-must monotonise three mil
lion square miles. "Australia for the
Australians" is the cry, even be-
fore the Australians are there.

Homing instinct of Crabs.

Who would believe that among crea-
lures having well developed domestic
instincts we must include the humble
crabs, the spiders of the sea" as Vic
tor Hugo calls them? Once under wa
ter, we might expect one part of the
sea tu be as homelike as another. but
that only shows how little the average
human being understands crabs
point Of view. Some one, however.
suspected them Of the homing instinct
and SO tried the experiment of catch
ing pair Of them on the Yorkshire
coast, in England, and, after marking
them. carrying them south fifty miles
or more, returning first one and then
the other to the water at different
points on the shore. Then the York
shire crabbers carefully searched their
traps as they made each haul, on the
lookout for the possible return of the
wanderers. Strange to relate. one day
not one, but both of the crabs were
caught a second time, having made
their way back across the intervening
miles of sea bottom to their Yorkshire
honest. Nicholas.

STOMACH MISERY
QUICKLY VANISHES

Your money back if you want it il
the way in which Conrad Stafrin, the
popular druggist is selling Mi-o-na
the gretat dyspepsia remedy.
This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o
ma has so much merit and is so al.
most invariably successful in reliev.
ing all forms of indigestion that he
runs, but little risk in selling under a
guarantee of this kind.
Do not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspep-
sia. Mi-o-na will help you. If it
doesn't, tell Conrad Stafrin that you
want your money back and he will
cheerfully refund it.
A change for the better will be seen
from the first few doses of Mi-o-na
and its continued use will soon start
you on the road to perfect digestion
and enjoyment of food.
Mi-o-na has been so uniformly sue
cessful that every box is sold under
a positive guarantee to refund the
money if it does not relieve. What
fairer proposition could be made?
Conrad Stafrin gives his persanal
guarantee of "money back if you
want it" with every box of Mi-o-na
that he sell. A guarantee like this
speaks volumes for the merit of the
remedy. D28-J4
