It is the policy of the Department of Education to send at least one judge or speaker to each of the school éxhibitions held, and, with very few

exceptions, judges and speakers have}:

been provided for the exhibitions this year, adding very greatly to the interest and the value of these gather- ings. Those riot receiving assistance have been small exhibitions, except in rare instances where-conflicting dates made it impossible to secure judges,

The Barkeraptey~ Of the Old Order

France §till Alarmed Over Possible Future Wars, ,

What stronger proof can there be of the utter bankruptcy of the old policy and the old methods than the present unhappy ffame of mind of France? She has just emerged com- pletely victorious from a tremendous war. Her enemy is prostrate; she has recovered her lost provirices. One of the two great empires whose united power threatened her is completely jand permanently broken up; the other is so crippled that a generation at least must pass before it can re- eater even a semblance of its former state and power. And yet France }feels no security. The warm. friend- ship of this country and our commu- nity of interests appear .to her Of small account unless accompanied by ja definite assurance of military sup- ‘port, The no less warm friendship of | America and the mighty proof she has given of her readiness to give prac- tical cffect to it when the need arose bring even less of consolation, and the very magnitude of the military success breeds alarm lest it should invite reprisals. Time may do some- thing to allay these surely exagger- ated alarms, but clearly the only sure way of escape from an ever-present anxiety is by a policy larger and more |gencrous than that which hitherto has lconiplerely dominated ‘the official mind of France, though} happily, not the whole of the French people.— Manchester Guardian,

‘A Fright{ul Death, | Suffocated By Asthma

The Dread of Such an Unhappy End Oppresses Every Sufferer

| Every sufferer from Asthma knows the terror, the abject fear that over-

comes them when struggling for breath. The old-fashioned remedies may relieve, but never cure, Best re-

sults come from Catarrhozone, which ‘cures Asthma after hope is abandon- jed. It's because Catarrhozone kills the asthma germ that it cures. Choking ‘spells and labored breathing are re- lieved, suffocating sensations and loss of breath are cured, Every trace of asthma is driven from the system, and even old chronics experience immedi- ate relief and lasting cure.

Alberta Wants A Prov.ncial Forester

'Management and Control of Timber | Lands in the Prairie Provinces,

| Alberta is asking for an innovation

in the care of its forests, by the ap- pointment of a provincial forester, The Dominion government has al- ready had the suggestion laid before it, and it is expected that it »will be one of the questions affecting natural resources in the west that will be on the list for consideration in the new year.

The Canadian Forestry association

is the prime mover.in the matter, and | through its instrumentality, pressure jis being brought to bear upon the federal authorities to make a coniplete change in the management and con- trol of timber lands in the prairie provinces, Similar steps are being also which have control of their own natural re- sources, and a delegation recently waited upon Premier Drury, in On- tario, to ask that all timbér and lum- ber operations within that province be placed under the direction of a proy- lincial forester, { So far as Alberta is concerned, the Forestry association is claiming that the present system of administration is wasteful and that the industry has been too much given to a policy of cutting out the timber in one district and then passing on to another, with- out making any provision for re- foresting,

HOW TO “BE FIT” AT SIXTY

BY DR. LEE HERBERT SMITH.

As our boys “came march- ing home,” they brought a cer- tain red-blooded doctrine, and showed us the glory of a perfect body. They will show us how to ‘keep fit fit,’ even if we have passed P ate life and are be- yond the athletic stage. For the tired business man, the man who feels the daily grind and the nightly fag, has meager appetite, headaches, nerves unstrung, is gloomy, ending in ry Soney brain, try the right way. Get out of bed, open the window, breathe deeply, exer- cise the army “setting-up” exercise or use dumb bells, until in a warm glow.

Before breakfast take hot water, and occasionally castor oil or a pleasant laxative made up of May-apple, aloin, jalap, and sold by all druggists as Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets.

As Prof. Strauss says, ‘‘The excretion of uric acid we are able to effect by exciting diuresis.’”? Drink copiously: of: soft rain or distilled water, six or eight glasses per day, hot water before meals, and obtain Anuric Tablets, double strength, for 50 cts., at the nearest drug store and take them three times a day. If you want a trial package send 10 cents to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.

“Anuric” (anti-uric-acid) is the recent discovery of

Dr. Pierce and is much more potent than lithia, for it will dissolve uric acid as hot tea dissolves sugar.

Saskatchewan Has Many New

Schools

Over Four Thousand in the Province and One Hundred and Fifty-Four Opened in 1919.

A total of 154 public schools have been added in 1919 to the number in Saskatchewan, making the grand total |

4,280. In addition there are 20 sep- arate schools, of which four are Pro- testant, the balance being Roman Catholic. Of the separate schools one | was established during this year,

Consolidation of school districts,’ which was introduced a few years ago, has lately become more popular, there being now 31 consolidated schoo! dis- tricts in the province. As the word implies, consolidation means the merging of several public school dis- tricts in order to build a large central school with better facilities than the ordinary rural school district can af- ford. These now in existence cover areas of from 40 to 75 square miles. Department of education officials say} that there will be a substantial addi-! tion to the number of consolidated! schools during 1920,

An important feature of educational growth in 1919 in this province has been the additions to the collegiate institutes, three former high schools having been raised to this status. One new high school has been established, province of 24

They can argue that while Canada has removed the duty upon American wheat, it. still maintains its restrictions, because American wheat and flour cannot come into Canada except |through a permit or a license from the Wheat Board. Not only so, but it can be argued with perhaps still greater effect, that American millers cannot purchase Canadian wheat on com-

wheat wheat,

and

they can deal only with a Wheat Board which has a statutory monopoly of all Canadian and that, therefore, the Canadian market is not only closed as against United States wheat flour by its licensing system, but also that this form of protection is reinforced and strengthened

by the Canadian Government method of selling.

Tt is impossible to show that this argument is false. This being the case, it is unthinkable that the United States will long keep her market opened to Canadian wheat if Canada continues this method of selling. True enough, the United States authorities have not objected so far as_ the present crop year is concerned, and they have not objected for the simple reason that they have no logical foundation upon which to base such an objection so far as this year is concerned, If Canada has a Wheat Board, they have a United States Grain Corporation.
