who fight any change thatpromses to cost money tay0r

In his letter setting forth the plan with regard to the

Can we be of any use to the child In pre-

The State Department OF Health wants

There is no added taxation. 1t Is only de-

HoMe FROM THE RAPTURE

WINNIPEG, MAN. - Enough western Canadian butter to butter every slice of bread that western Canada produces from it's wheat" is the slogan of western Canada's interprovincial dairy association.
 Farmers cooperative dairy or ganizations in Manitoba, Saskat- chewan and Alberta formerly work ed independently a-d turIed out different standards of butter. h. terprovincial dairy conventions have established a uniform stand ard. In the last "all Canada" com petition, Alberta won first, second and third prizes; Quebec, fourth and fifth; and Manitoba, sixth. The score for the first prize was 9S and for the sixth 97.4, difference of six-tenths between : st and sixth.
 The cooperative movement which began among tine grain growers Las grown rapidly among the dairymen in the last few years. The govern ment has advanced money to en- able the associations to build creameries which furnish convent ent local markets. Cooperative marketing has increased farmers profits, improved standards of iairying and developed the breed 'Ng of dairy cattle

 Within the last few days the po- Lee made known that they had dis covered an organization for running military material into Hungary and made two arrests. One of the men was an employe of the Wollersdcrf munitions factory, government plant. Workmen's councillors have a good organization and are con stantly on the watch for railway shipments of arms and cartridges, but in enc government office it was admitted that for every carload de tected and stopped nine got away over the frontiers.
 Frederick Alder, the Socialist lead er,, has declared that great quanti' ties Of arms were being smuggled from the country and it was the duty of the workmen to find way to stop it.
 The Allied Control Commission has issued an order prohibiting the further sale of governm bnt owned arms or munitions or that in posses  SioE of the private concerns organ ized to trade demoblized material Many of these concerns were made up Of members of the official de- mobilization commissions who sold to themselves.

DECLARES CHINA HAS NUT SUPPORT

PEKIN, Oct s. - Parting advice to China. given by Dr. Paul s. Reinsch, former American minister to China and later counsellor to the Chinese government, included a statement that "it is plain that for eign nations cannot be expected to support a government which does not have the support of is own clti- zens."
 Dr. Reinsch's advice was contain ed in a long analysis of the weak nesses and requirements of the Chi npse government. He submitted the analysis just before he aendered his resignation as counsellor
 While a republic in form. there has not been a continuous represen- tation of the people in the govern ment," was another statement Dr. Reinsch also declared that any Iec- ognition by a foreign government rested only on convenience and did ot involve support or approval

 In conclusion he reverted again to the necessity for gaining the confi- tsence of the people The efforts of Yuan shih-kai and C'Eng Hsun to force Chins's development back into dynastic currents had proved, he said. that the Chinese people do not desife to return to an outlived system. The moro recent attempt to found political power on military organization and foreign financial support crumbled in week before intense popular disapproval. To op- pose the growing consciousness of the Chinese people would be like trying to stem the tide of the Yang. tsze by mean sof an artificial dam.

GUN-RUNN|NG PROFITABLE
 IN AUSTRIA

VIENNA, Oct. s. - Gun-running and arms smuggling has become a bigger trtse in Austria than it was on the Mexican border in Villas palmiest rays.
 The country IS full of military ma terial while Hungary, Poland and Jugo-Slavia are, munitions hungry and the result is to make a market so tempting that the risks are dis regarded. If the Socialist organs alE to be credited, however, at least some of the trade is done un- der the auspices of certain Entente governments as we'll as the con- servative element of the Austrian alive. Bread is 1000 rubles pound" said one. "One hundred thousand ru- bles is 10 pounds of bread for each of us. Long ago, before the great war. 10 pounds of bread cost only half ruble and what is that for handling a foreigners baggage"
 But the baggagemen went to jail for speculation; the British officers went to prison for counter-revolution- ary activity in Siberia and the Amer icanl reporter went into house arrest for being in Russia without permits sion. Only the Bolshevik eommissar remained free.
