A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter FERGUSON

THE only woman in Canada's Parliament, the
Hon. Agnes MacPhail who has been visiting in
this country, has made some pertinent remarks
about social service She says there isn't much
sense to it until we straighten out the economic
situation.
She's SO right, doesn't it make you uncomfort-
able? Probably nine-tenths of all our social evils
have their origin in poverty. Men and women half
starved, ridden by the bag Fear can't possibly make
good homes for their children; while the children
who grow up among adults who are frightened into
they start
Perhaps the most amusing and tragic of all our
efforts be found in the psychiatric clinics now
established in many communities. Their motive is
excellent trained men who have studied the human
mind can do unlimited good by helping individuals
to understand themselves.
But, when is told he suffers from worry
cause of his worry, which in these days is generally
the lack of job, insufficient salary to support
his dependents or chronic illness for which he can
not afford physician. His case you see is too COM
pcated for the psychiatrists to handle. It's good
going to the doctor if can't buy the medicine
he prescribes.
Girls advised to leave home because of emotional
us on the spot. The woman with several babies
dragging at her skirts hasn't a chance to take
rest cure no matter how many physicians advise it.
The Hon. MacPhail has told us the truth. We've
got the cart before the horse.

THURSDAY. JANUARY IS, 1885.
TRAGEDY IN THE AIR

SIT is hard to be emotionally sane about a
- catastrophe of any kind Wholesale horror makes
lit hard for us to keep balance.
- The crash in Arkansas which killed II people is
"a shocking thng-it will keep many people from fly
ing in the future, it will confirm the prophets of
dsaster it will doubtless bring call for closer
regulation and for parachues for airiners. 1t may
Nevcn be made political matter.
This editorial is no attempt to rationalize away
the deaths of IT people as insignificant. We have
sseen too many people fly away in airplanes and
Y never come back to say that death in the air is
without significance
~ And we not say either, that the sacrifice of
le is justified by the march of scientific progress.
Who say whether your life is worth giving up in
sSthe cause Of progress9 Nobody but you
- But let us say this people who ride in arpanes,
cor in autos wals across streets, know they are
taking chance, And they also know, or can know,
the ratio of danger in any of these actions in COM
parison with the others.
People who ride in arpanes know they may be
killed And they know also that their chances of
being killed are becoming less and less as time goes
on.
The airlnes today are being run much better than
they were run five years ago. They being run
as business, whose keynote is safety and efficiency
power to make flying safer.
There has been criticism, both from political
sources and inside the industry itself of the govern
ments present regulatory set-up There is dissension
and jealousy within the Bureau of Air Commerce
But is very doubtful if any of this has reached
out and caused accident on the airlnes.
1t is our belief that government regulations are
thorough. The pilots and all personnel have settled
down to a routine of calm work based experience
which few years ago didn't exist. There are fewer
hlue-sky promoters and more wise and conscientious
transportation now than five years ago.
Accidents may continue to happen. But the record
elbows that the ratio of accidents to miles flown is
going steadily down. Perfection in all things comes
slowly-and never quite arrives.
We grieve for the II dead. We can not in any
way justify their deaths But if the facts could be
known concerning the countrys daily toll of death
from accidents of all kinds, it probably would be
revealed that many more than II die each day with
less excuse.

RECALLS HISTORY IN
HIS ARGUMENT

BY T. N. T.
In 1862, at the request of the steel,
coal and coke interests, Congress
passed the Alien Contract Labor
Law, giving power to the above
named interests to go into southern
Europe and enter into a contract
with pauper labor.
The aliens were compelled to re-
pay passage, live in company houses,
purchase necessities in firm owned
stores at a price the owners saw fit
to charge.
The reason, as set out by the own
ers, was that the man power of the
nation was engaged in the War of
the Rebellion to preserve the Union,
and that it was necessary to employ
alien labor in order to make the
things that were needed so that the
soldiers could successfully put down
the rebellion.
If their story was correct, would it
not be correct to suppose that when
the war was over in 1866, and the
soldiers released, the law should
have been repealed?
But not SO, for the law didn't die
until 1884, % years later.
z am bringing this page of history
to your mind to combat the story
being spread by Chambers of Com
merce, newspapers, putty statesmen
and pliable personalities that the
proper way to bring prosperity is
to let capitalists conduct their af-
fairs unrestrained.
Since this theory demands a posi-
tive denial let's see what has been
done to combat it.

ZACH vitamin picks out a spe-
IL cial portion of the body for the
good it can do.
Vitamin A was concerned With
the tissue of the eye, and that part
of vitamin B which / Already have
described was concerned with the
nervous system and the muscles of
the inteStines.
Now vitamin G picks out the
capillaries, or smallest blood vessels.
Shortage of vitamin c is reflected
quite promptly in bleeding from
the membranes of the body. Its
deficiency results also in damage to
the teeth and in changes in the
bones.
Our knowledge of deficiencies of
this vitamin is among the oldest
information we have on deficiency
diseases. In the eighteenth century,
British sailors found that some
thing in the diet was necessary to
prevent scurvy.
Back in 1869, DR.. James Lind
noticed that sailors became tired
and pale, that large black and blue
spots appeared on their bodies, that
their gums would bleed, and their
joints become painful when they
sailed on long voyages and failed
to get fresh food for long time.
1t was not until 1912, however,
that proof was definitely forth
coming that vitamin c in fresh
fruits and fresh vegetables was the
substance necessary to prevent APP
pearance of sculrvy.
NOW vitamin C has been isolat-
L Y ed in pure form and is avail
able in tablets and in concentrates.
In its pure form, it is an acid sub
stance which has been given the
name ascorbic acid. 1t has also
been called hexuronic acid, and
there are other names for it, such
as cebione and cevitamic acid.
This substance has now been de-
veloped in pure form from paprika,
which is the substance in nature
found to be the richest source sof
vitamin G. 1t also comes from fresh
fruits, such as oranges and lemons,
from cabbage, and finally. it has
been developed Synthetically by
chemists.
Vitamin G is a delicate vitamin.
1t is destroyed to some extent sby
drying, but particularly by heat in
m open vessel where oxygen can
get at it. If the vessel happens to
be copper, it is destroyed more
quickly.
Commercial canning does not,
however, injure the content of vi
tamin c in fresh fruits and vege-
tables, because commercial can
ming is usually done in thin vessels
and in vacuum, SO that oxygen
Is not present in amounts large
enough to damage the vitamin.

OTHER OPINION
Roosevelt and Columbus


The undertaking of the party in
power in setting out to get rid of
billions of dollars has added to the
greatest deficit any nation has ever
known.
The Roosevelt Administration has
been likened to Columbus when he
set sail on his voyage to the new
world. His trip was government
financed. When he started he did
not know where he was going, when
he arrived he did not know where he
was and when he got back he could
not tell any one where he had been.
Far from strengthening themselves
in the confidence of the public the
bureaucrats wasting the resources
Of the nation are convincing the
voters that the sooner their author
ity is terminated the better it will be
for all.

ASSAILs COURT FOR
AAA DECISION

BY George Golf
What is this country coming to if
it is going to stand by and let 9 ole
men, whose brains have gone hay
wire and who hold prejudice against
the common people, repeal laws
designated for the benefit of the
common people? Of course, if the
Court is going to be CONSTANT it
will repeal all other laws which
benefit the common man, including
the labor law, work relief law, So
cial securities law, etc.
Why did the six judges say mo-
to the AAA? Because they were
connected with big corporations be-
fore they became Supreme Court
judges. They had those big cor
portaions' interest at heart.
It is a shame to think that 9 men
can shape the destinies of 100000
900 people.
