Tocete lie Immigration From New Angle Archdeacon Cody Advocates Spending Money on Na- tive-Born Instead of Foreigners Hamilton, Ont. â€" .Advocating expen- diture of money to finance energretic Canadians rather than aiding those who come to this couvitry from alien countries, Venerable -A.rchdeacon H. J Cody, Toronto, addressed residents of Wentworth County at a large com- munity banquet here recently. "Personally, I prefer the Canadi.n I- two or three inimigi-ants and I be- lieve it would be a wiser policy to expend money to finance an energetic Canadian in Can -.da than tc aid those who come to our Dominion from alien !ands,""Canon Cody said. "We want our own stock," he continued, discuss- ing the immigration question. The Rev. Mr. Cody certainly said some- thing worth considering. Have we not many good Canadians in our back- woods who could be developed into producing citizens at a minimum <f expense. « He â€" Do you believe in the here- after?, Sheâ€" Whyâ€" erâ€" yes !

New Thoughts On Old Institution How Your New Calendar is Made Years in Advance Referring in those who make our calendars, the London Daily Herald asserts that "th« ordinary man does not even know who they are. "He turns to pocket diary or wall almanac when h« wishes to ascertain the hour of su.Tset or sunrise, or the changes of the moon and the tide.^, and he doe.s not guess that the in- formation which he accepts as a mat- ter of course is the outcome of six years of co-operative work by the leading astronomers of five nations. "For an account of this truly re- markable (though generally unre- marked) example of the internation- alism of science the Ix)ndon Daily Herald is indebted '•> Mr. Moses B. Cotsworth, director of the Interna- tional Fi.xed Calendar League. "On August 17. 1927, the calcula- tions for the year 1933 were begun 'ly eminent scientists in the Oreenwich Oljservatory ami the Nautical M- ' manac Office. "These men work out for all the nations the right ascension and de- clination of the sun, m.-jon. and 84 of the fi.xed stars at each of the 24 hours in every day. "By August, 1928, these were print- ed and sent to the directors of the national observatoric? in the United States, Germany, France, and Spain to enable the astronomer"? of each of the.se nations to be.?in their quota of the work. "No part is duplicated. The United States astronomers work out the eclipses of the sun and moon for all the nations, and the hourly positions of the planets and their satellites. "In France the hourly positions of the polar stars are worked out, while the same work for other fixed stars is done in Germany and Spain. "The work in these four countries takes about 18 months. Greenwich combines the results in the Nautical ] Almanac for 1933, which will be print- 1 ed and issued by the end of 1930. "From this all the nations will 5e i able to work out for epch of their own | ports the daily times and heights of the tides. This information mu.st then bf issued to the makers of calendars not later than January, 1932."

I decided to try Dr. Wililams' Pink Pills and after taking a few boxes can truthfully say I had gained greatly in health and strength and was able to go about my work with no sign of the former weakness.

These reports were refused by the statement of Professor Guido Holzknecht, one of the doctors con- sulted, who has Just returned to Cienna.
