Under the nbove title has been published a report of the Committee on Nutritional Problems of the Am- eri.an Public Health Association, lujging from the qantity of corres- pondence we receive, asking for In- formation on this subject, we believe that our readers will be interested In having a summary oi' this nuthcra- lativo report. The report points out our need for several substances in our food, and the clanger in allowing a one-sided i'ood, such as pure sugar, to take the place of the many sided-foods. It is t.taU-d that while bread-stuffs and me?ts are. desirable foods, "they can never make a properly balanced diet, and least of :;!! for a growing child, tven though a hardy expl.irer may be able to live for a long time on such a <!i.?t withou: showing or feeling any noticeable- in- ji:: - y." It h omnhasizod that fruits and vegetables, in providing ths nec- essary minerals and vitamines, are "protective foods", as they protect us i':-om all tho ill effects resulting frm ths lack of such substances when we live t.io largely upon bread stuffs .".rd meats. Tho "mos: important of the protective i'^ods is, milk" a state ir.ent which cannot be too often reit- arflted. "It is a sobering thought that sugar, as it "ow comes into commerce, is .'h" nnst completely devoid of protein vitamins, :-nd mineral elements of nil the f >ods which we give our children. From the nutritional standpoint, there fore, it would sesm that sugar should be of all foods the most cautiously u-jod h fording children, lest it dis- place too much of the food which can do whnl it cannot, i". supplying the proteins, vitamins, and mineral elem- ents which children need so urgently and so abundantly for their healthy growth and devclopcment." It is pointed out that in nature, sujrr.r i ; ~ot found in concentrated forms, nnd that, too much sugar may "oil the appetite for valuable foods with less pronounced flavour, in gen- eral, the proner place of sugar is not in such c-onocntratvfl forms as candy.. nor in the indiscriminate and ences- ;ive : weetening of ;>;l kinds of foods '"it rath.'r as n. preservative ami flavour to facilitate the introduction into the child's dietary of larger am- ounts ..-f the fruit and milk, the im- portance of which to child health has been increasingly emphasized with fai'h yea.

Why Miss Macphail Tun ed Down Offer Of A Senatorsihp Eclipses This Year Partial eclipses of the sun ana I moon will be visible in this townu but on the average does not. When the apex of the shadow cone does not reach the earth's surface, a cen- tra'! annular eclipse occurs. At this V The Toronto Star Weekly makes the following reference to Miss Agnes Macphail, M. P. for Southeast Grey, in its "Page About People": Agnes Macphail, who js proud to descibe herself 33 a "farmer's daugh- ter" not only is the first wor-.-.n ever LO enter the House of C-jmnnnj a- Ottawa, but is tho first of her ~c; to be cifered a seat in the Sen.it'J- that august body whose ranks havi just been opened to women. There are about 100,000 women in Canada who could meet the property qualifications necessary for a. Senatorship. One ot them Agnes Blacphail declined the honor with the comment that she was "more interested in the abolition ot the Senate th n n in appointment to that body." Women r.re supposed to be the weaker sox. Miss Macphail, however, is A he exception that proves the rule if it is a rule. There is no record in recant years of anyone refusing a Senatorship. On the contrary, there have bcrn invariably innumerable applications for every vacancy. In the case of th*> recent vacancy in Mani- toba filled by th? elevation of Hon. Robert F^rke there were more than tv;o sc( re applications sent to the prime mir.ijit. r, ar.d one man walked upwards cf fDrty miles across trv wintry countrywide; of Northern Man- itoba to u:gc his suit upon Mr. King in person. Unlike the girl in the play who con- fessed that hr will was strong but her won't v/as weak, refusal sterns to come rav 'o Miss MacPhail. She has refused a Senatorshin; unless rumor is astray she has rei'used n <-o !t at the cabinet council, without portfolio; several years ago, when th? indem- nities to members of parliament were increased from S2.500 to R-1,000 she refused to f'kc a larger salary. It ha.i been piling up year after yeir ir the treasury and unless disposed of hyi Miss Macphail in writing will remain) 'here till th? crack of doom. It ap- pears there i.-, no way in which it can be put to other uses. Mi.s Maophail is a product of the Scotch Protestantism of the commun- ity bordering upon Georgian Bay. Her fo'-cfathcrs were members of the pi- 1 oncor band who conquered the coun- 1 ties of Bruce and Grey. She was borni on the farm. The little biography In] the Parliamentary Guide, which is| prepared after consultation with cai'hj member states that she is a "f?>T.i- er's daughter." That indicates that Miss Mmnhail is proud c1-' th> fa:t. She taught, school, indulged a hobby j :'or notillry farming, and finally stood "or Southeast Grey and elected. Recently she told of her feelings : ipon entering the House of Commons' and meetir"? for the first time the! men whose names are familiar in ev-' cry household of the Dominion. Mac-! cenzie King, Meighen, Bennett, Geo.j (iraham. Fielding she confesses that when sh" nu-t tbem ai follow mem- bers, comrade, it seemed "as if one we.e meeting Plato or Ruskin.' 1 Miss Macphal is not one of those members of parliament who is fed up with her job and who perpetually j threatens to quit. She knows her par- liamentarian friends too well. "I have heard many members 1 ' she said" dis-, i-laim any liking for tho House -f| Commons and declare they were nev- er coming back, and sometimes they lid not but it was not their fault." Nor docs this exhaust the subject if Miss Macphail's originality. She is conceded to be one of the best speak- ers in the House of Commons but she never speaks longer than 2.~> min- utes. lOven in the old days when pa:-- iamentary eloquence was unchecked, she rarely exceeded one-half an hour. And since the adoption of the forty- niinu'e rule, which she did much to :>ring about, she has never been cal- led to time. during April.
