In Truro, Windsor and Amherst
the city councils met this morning
and decided to take immediate steps
to render aid to the afflicted people
in Halifax. 1t is understood that large
quantities of food were destroyed and
that citizens Of Halifax may soon be
in danger of starving. It was decid-
ed that carloads of food must be dis
patched at once.
The damage to the Western Union
and Canadian Pacific Telegraph COM
panies and the Nova Scotia Telephone
Co. is so complete that it is likely to
be days before wire points outside
Halifax can be restored.
Rockingham is well within Halifax
harbor, at the mouth ofa Bedford
basin. It is at the northwestern por-
ton of the harbor and since the war
has been used as an examining sta
ton for ocean steamers. 1t was at
this portion of the harbor that ex-
Ambassador Won Bernstorm and his
party were held and examined on
their way from the United States to
Germany.

TALKS ON HEALTH
DIR. William Brady.
WHAT A MAN NEEDS AND WHAT
He WANTS.

Civilization has produced a serious
incompatibility in the species Homo
sapiens. 1t has given him hired
mans appetite and a manicure's meta
bolism. That is to say, many of us
bolt more than we burn.
The hog is Il species Of mammal
justly famed for his fine metabolism.
He contributes enormous quantities of
pepsin and other digestive agents to
the mammal higher up. Yet the man.
NAL higher up makes sorry show
ing in competition with the hog when
he metaphorically bites off more than
he can chew. The hog, it seems, IS
blessed with an alimentary canal well
adapted to the quantity of his ration,
whereas in man the food tube seems
poorly attuned to the infinite capacity
of his appetite.
1t is hard to counterfeit the popu-
lar notion that health is determined
by 4 hearty appetite--a motion fea-
tnred in nearly every history a doc
tor hears. People forget that appe-
alcoholic irritatns. by condiments, by
habit, and even by excess, until it
becomes abnormal by reason of its ex-
.asgeration. When a well nourished,
that is, a rather stout individual, sits
down to "A meal he doesn't want, and
whets his appetite by taking some
highly seasoned soup, or some other
irritant or intoXicant, he is trying to
repeal law of nature, and that is
a precarious business always.
Appetite is regulated by health.
When appetite fails it is a signal not
"a challenge. Heed it; don't try to
whip it into good behavior. It fails
because nature Is trying TO save you.
Skip u meal. Skip two. Skip half
a dozen. There is no great peril in
going about with an empty stomach.
Appetite is naturally impaired by
various ailments which do better on a
instance. is natures way of demand
ing Il brief respite from Oyer-eating.
An adult generally consumes about
80 Is per cent more than he requires,
being obsessed with the delusion that
the more one cats the healthier and
stronger one will be. The excess bur-
dens his metabolism. Tt wears him
out before his time, burning it and
disposing of it. So he dies when still
young and in his prime. The human
machine requires at least as much
care as an automobile, you know. \

DULUTH is THROUGH
WITH WARD SYSTEM

Comes to the fore a movement to
make yet another radical change in
Duluth's city government. by amend
ing the charter to provide for an old
fashioned common council. a mayor
and a city manager. says the Duluth
Herald
But there is point in this scheme
as suggested for Duluth that effcctua1-
~ kills all chance of it's being consid-
cred seriously, and that is that 1t pro-
yides for a return to the old ward sys-
tenn of elections, with all the vices and
Responsibilities that the system in
wolves. 1t would nullify the advantage
of having city manager. Duluth had
Its season under ward politics. and Dn-
luth got sufficiently sick of it to vote
that system out. And there is no
reason apparent why the city should
take a deliberate backward step by
reinstating that system.
/ American cities have suffered enongh
under the ward system. Duluth car
have but one reply to any suggestion
that it so back to that old notion. And
that is, Never again!"
