Planes to Fight Hoppers

The adoption OF alrplanes 20 fight
grasshoppers is another illustration
or the resourcefulness OF the west
ern Canada farmer. Spreading OF
poison for grasshoppers has been
so successful IN one or two areas
in southern Alberta that It will prob
ably be adopted as a regular method
In future. The planes were used
in flying at 100-feet elevation, using
four pounds OF bait 10 the acre. The

OF oiled bait, that hoppers were still

Why Hospitals Use
a Liquid Laxative

Hospitals and doctors have always
used liquid laxatives. And the public
is fast returning to laxatives in liquid
form. DO you know the reasons?
The dose OF liquid laxative can be
measured. The action can thus be
regulated to suit individual need. 1t
forms no habit; you need not take a
double dose" a day or two later.
Nor luiN mild liquid Laxative rritate
the kidneys.
The right dose Of liquid laxative
brings perfect movement, and there
is no discomfort at the time, or after.
The wrong cathartic may often do
more harm than good.
A properly prepared liquid laxative
like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
brings safe relief from constipation.
1t gently helps the average persons
bowels back to regularity. DR.. Cald-

liquid laxative which all druggists

THE SWEET TOOTH

Aunt Janet is staying with the Johnsons just now. 1 was asked to an early supper last Sunday night to meet her, for this is her first visit to her brothers home. found Aunt Janet delightful per- son in many ways, but she has one unwise habit-she will feed the children candy.
 I saw how the land lay within a few minutes of my arrival at the hardly got inside the doro when Aunt Janet produced a large box of chocolate creams and began offer one of Mrs Johnson's few rules is "No canly before meal" I wasn't surprised to hear her say, Not just before supper, Janet. You'll spoil their appetites." But Aunt Janet Claire's eager little fingers. "One won't hurt" she said, Tit won't even make a dint in their appe- it's just treat while I'm here." Mrs Johnson shook her head and went off to the kitchen. Aunt Janet tOOh d CdHuy IicE6CIL dHu then, since MT Johnson and I both declined, she put the lid back on the box and went off to help Mrs Johnson, while the four children munched their candy and Mir John- son and I looked at each other in silence.
 A few minutes later we sat down to supper. 1 must admit that the older children's appetites were not noticeably affected. But Claire took longer than usual to finish her meant and vegetables, and I am sure 1t was only the thought of ice cream to follow that encouraged her to struggle through at all. Nothing was said, however, and when the dessert was cleared away, the chocolate box put in another appearance. This time we all took one, though I nearly choked when, as the children were leaving the table to go and play, Aunt Janet said brightly, in answer to Claire's longing gaze, No more now, Claire, but you shall all have one when you're tucked up in bed!"
 Mrs Johnson waited until the children had disappeared, then she turned to her sister-in-law. Janet" she said gently, tits kind of you to buy candy for us. but I wish you would keep it for after meals. The children aren't used to having it at all hours, and I know it isn't good for them."
 Not good for them" exclaimed Aunt Janet; you're behind the times, my dear. Don't you know that all children need sugar: that sugar is one of the best sources of quick energy-look at the athletes and explorers who use milk choc- olate on their endurance tests. And anyway, who ever knew child without 8 sweet tooth? It's a natural craving-and natures a pretty good guide. What do you

say, Doctorw And she turned to me for confirmation.
 It was rather an awkward mo- ment. After all, was guest, and a stranger to her. Besides, knew that she erred only out of kindness of heart. So did my best to ex- plain that she was claiming too much for sugar as a necessary food. As politely as I could, suggested that what might be good for a marathon runner or an endurance flyer need not be equally good for ordinary mortals in ordinary cir cumstances. Moreover, I explained that man is the only animal on earth who cannot be trusted to feed himself properly by instinct 50 the talk of a natural craving for sweets" was not to be taken seriously. Nature, said, provides all necessary sugar in the sweet ness of fruits and other products of the earth. I added that sugar in itself has no food value except for the calories it contains. To be of any value 1t must be combined with cereals, fruit, milk or some other food containing vitamins and proteins for protection and growth. Worst of all, I said, sugar does take the edge off appetite, and so decrease the desire for wholesome, body building foods. Therefore, the proper place for it is after a meal rather than before or in be- tween meals.
 I might have added other argu- ments, but poor Aunt Janet was foot and guns! She was very nice about it, to be sure, but I don't think the Johnson cI1ii- dren got their candies in bed that night!

Income Exceeds Expenditure


 An individual continues to grow and develop up to the age of 21-- anything from IS to 25 years. This development. and does not refer to mental or moral development.
 It is therefore unwise and dan gerous for any one who has not yet attained his or her full adult growth and developments to at- tempt any reduction, unless the entire regiment is under the per- sonal and constant direction of the individuals own physician. For this reason I have never knowingly given any minor or child counsel or aid in reduction.
 Wild animals never become obese. Even when they have &C., cess to superabundance of food they instinctively stop eating once they have gorged themselves. Do- mestic animals readily put on ex- cess weight if untelligently fed and not sufficiently worked or al- lowed to play or exercise.
 Obesity in every case is primar- fly due to overeating. Overeating is always a relative term. Clearly the tailor requires less food than the blacksmith. The growing boy or girl requires more food than his or her father or mother does and should have it. The process of growth uses considerable en- ergy, and the source of all energy is of course food.
 In every instance, output must keep pace with income if the in- sidious encroachment of obesity is to be avoided. The income is the total caloric or food or fuel value of all the food one con- sumes; the output is the total amount of energy, reckoned in cal ories, one expends in working, playing and growing, plus the energy expended daily in basal etabolism--that is, the function ing of the vital organs.
 Social amenities are responsible for much of the early obesity that prevails among the great middle class. Eating and drinking are unacceptable features of all social occasions, and it requires greater strength to decline to eat than 1t does to decline to drink.
 The use of stimulating flavors or seasonings in the preparation of food, and various tempting sauces or dressings served with or on the food, causes many a wolf down a good deal of superfiuous nutriment which they would never want, at least in any quantity, but for the dope.
 In the line of sweets. pastries, buildings, parfaits, cake, jellies, jams, candies, syrups, ices. sweet ened beverages, gormandizing is made pleasant and easy for every body, and it happens that most overeating is overindulgence in carbohydrate food anyway-bread,
