The Sunday Question. In supporting a resolution which was passed appealing for the dis continuance of political pro- paganda meetings on Sundays, the Rev. W.

Adding Flavour To Lemonade.
Lemonade is greatly improved if small pinch of bicarbonate of soda is added to it while hot, and the juice of half an orange, gives an added flavour and perfume. Barley- water is best made with one of the good prepared barleys, as this saxes a great dent of time and trouble; the juice of the lemon only should be used for barley-water, as the rind has a tendency to make it bitter

Myanoshita,
On Saturday night there was a dance in the wonderful pavilion following which he was taken by friends to the Myanoshita Hotel where he was warmly welcomed by Mr. Yamaguchi, the manager, who
is known to tourists from all over the world. The hotel, Quinney des- cribed as being simply wonder- ful."

Over 170 white motor buses, Daim- less and Fiats, run to the hotel up nearly 3,000 feet, from all parts of Tokyo, Odawara and Yokohama for the modest charge of 170 yen.. The same buses run out to Hakoni where you can enjoy the famous lake with its view of Fujiyama.

Quinney stopped for nearly two weeks at Kowakidani where he had his yearly radium baths, to which he attributes the sunny temper and good health for which he is well- Known. Here the charge for a good room, baths, food and service, was only 70 yen a week and he said “ I heartily recommend this hotel to anyone in search of a holiday and a good rest. I can stay there in my kimono day, dine in it, go. for walk in it, and no one interferes or is shocked". Happy Kowakidani and wise Quinney to make it his headquarters on a holiday!-
Knowing The Bopes, "But," I said, "you started by telling me Japan was expensive.”
"Ah, but I know my way shout," he replied. If you, like Mr. Komor, know your way you can spend eight months, in Japan and come back healthier and happier in every way for less cost than that of staying for one month in many other places in the Far East. Ricksbas are pro- digously expensive.

I say that these tracks are open-air gambling casinos, and as a consequence thou sands of young men are being led into gambling habits."
Bir Ernest Lamb, in reconding the resolution, said he knew that one man, who was a member of the Standing Committee and a late member of the Government, had paced the corridor outside the room where the Committee met, and so deprived it of a quorum. There was maliga and materialistic influence in the Cabinet against those who supported the Conference view.
