 The Toronto News recalls that Inc United States has made such im- mense growth in wealth recently that it can readily spare money for in- vCstment in the Dominion 1t recalls that prior to .he outbreak of the war and since the commencement of ,aee year 1900. United States industries .n- vceted s5oo.ooo.o0o in branch factories hn Canada. so that they might reach the Canadian market withou. paying customs duties. It does not add, as It might, that in the last three years, favored by lowered tariff duties and an tnlarged free list, some of these Can aG,an factories, established by Ameri- e.,n capital, have made large mar'<el for their Canadian-made goods in the United States likewise.
 The News sees that if Canaaian goods are given preferential treat ment in all parts of the British hm- pire and in the countries of The enten- to allies as well, American capital will have large additional indueement tc establish industries in Canada. It s2ys that already Ameracan agetehtare looking for factory sites on the Cant. Han side of the boundary, with a view to building there, if the Paris, pro- p"sals go into effect.

 If. in addition to a free entry into the Canadian markets by establishing plants in Canada, the manufactures can be insured an equally free entry nto the markets of the United States

GOOD RULES FOR STAYING WELL

Tt isn't necessary to give lot of time to the job of keeping fit," said Capt. Koehler. physical director oi West Point military academy. Ten or fifteen minutes of setting-up exer. cise in the morning, and a walk every day-not necessarily a long one, but one in which you march briskly like soldier. with your head and chest up and your shoulders back-win work wonders. Do you know why so many men are narrow chested and weak? It is because they never have given themselves a chance to breathe and never have given their muscles enough exercise.
 children are semi invalids most of their lives because of the lack of a few minutes of daily exercise and olso because they have never been taught a proper posture and carriage. such, for instance, as we insist upon at oll times in cadets; a position in which every organ of the body is held in it's proper place with ample space to carry on its own particular function without restriction, and in which every muscle of the body is furnishing i.3 own transportation, so to speak, and not depending upon other muscles to do for 1t what 1t was intended 1t should do for itself.
 Proper posture and carriage, with shoulders square, chest arched, head erect and body well stretched from the waist up, will of it's own account contribute much toward relieving our people of the many petty and not a few of the serious ills from which they are now suffering. It Is the founda- tion of robust health and should be insisted upon in children from the very beginning until 1t becomes habit and as such will displace the disease breeding 'slouchy' habit now 80 prevalent among people of all ages and stations"

FARM IN CENTER OF Town.
DIR. Francis Advocates Radical Meas
ure for school Children.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 21.-Farms
run by real farmers right in the
crowded city are an educational de-
velopment seen in the not far dis
tant future by DIR. ]. H Francis, su-
perintendent of the Los Angeles
schools, who addressed the faculty of
the agricultural college.
On these farms there will be truck
gardening. pou1trying, rabbit raising,
and all the other activities that de-
light the active boy.
School children have too much url-
occupied time, believes Doctor Fran

hours on less than 200 days of the

Flexible courses of study were urg-

the old-fashioned notion that courses
should be mapped out with SO many
pages assigned each term.

George Conrad Mayer was born
August 10, 1912. in Rodau, Germany.
With his family he came to Kansas in
1876, settling at Topeka. From that
time until 1900 he was the most sue
cessful barber in the city and probably
in the state. During the time of his
active work he probably shaved more
state officials, politicians and high
Der in the state. He always took an
active interest in the political life of
the state.
Mr.. Mayer was one of a number of
substantial German citizens who came
to Topeka in the early days. and was
connected with the political life of
the town throughout his active ca
rer He retired from real business
activity in 1900, but since that time,
being unable to settled down to a life
of quiet. operated a shop at various
places in the city. At one time he
owned two barber shops and a
bakery. During later years he
had a small shop at Tenth and
| Topeka avenues and on West Sixth
street.
Mr.. Mayer was married in 1861 to
Regina Christman. In 1878 he became
affiliated with the First German M. E.
church, and was a trustee and a Sun
day school teacher up to the time OF
his last illness. He was a strong factor
when the church was built in 1884.
He is survived by his wife and six
children-George and Phillip Mayer.

BISHOP SPOKE up
Supports Prepar-
edness in Topeka Sermon.
Minnesota Divine in Stirring
Appeal at Cathedral.

A stirring appeal to the patriotism
of all good Kansans in support of
adequate preparedness and a con-
domination of congressman who pork
barrel their ideas on national resist
ance were delivered to the congrega-
ton Of Grace Cathedral at the Epis-
copal services Sunday afternoon by
Bishop Edsall of Minnesota. The
bishop didn't bubble. He didn't hide
behind generalities. He made him.
self perfectly plain at a most atten-
tive gathering of churchmen. 1t was
one of the best addresses heard in To-
peka in months.
The bishop, who has been leading
an Episcopal mission here for several
days, is one of the best known and
educated of the Episcopal clergy of
this country. His talk Sunday after
noon, directed at the men of the
church, concerned directly a mans
duty to his church. his family, his
city, his state and his country. 1t was
heart to heart sermon to the con-
egation-oratorical and impressive,
nevertheless.
Some men, well known in this
country, are so ObSeSSed with what
might be called a ebroth-
erhood' that they are lacking the pa
triotism which demands protection
from a foe." the bishop remarked.
I'VE as men must know that this ma

oughly armed and manned-it is, aft
er all, the fundamental element of pa
triotism. The enemies of this move
ment with their vague generalities and
sentimentalities never get anywhere
they just talk"
Wanted to Applaud.
It was the most out and out express
sion of worldly conditions heard from
the puluit of the Episcopal church for

in approval. At periods in the bish-
ops address it could be seen that only
the realization of the occasion SUBJ
dued an outburst of applause.
out here in Kansas and up in Min
nesota we don't realize the need of
protection" he said. I'm afraid that
we feel too secure. We should take
a broader view of our country We
should think of the miles of unpro-
tected coasts. We must not be sell
fish in our support of national needs.
We must see to it, too, that our con-
gressmen are not tempted to pork
barrel their votes only to satisfy their
communities. 1t is a time when the
cause of the nation must be met
not the cause of the district the indi-

with the Topeka spirit. 1t didn't take
