An agent for Haig & Haig who trades extensively in the West End of London informs us that not many weeks pass without orders coming from Harley Street doctors for our whisky.

When control" is banished in the Home Market the price of Haig & Haig Whisky will be higher there than other... Whiskies. In all uncontrolled markets

the higher price is now being paid. That is one of the reasons why Haig & Haig is a scarce commodity in the Home Market...

DARK MYSKTRY OF THE EAST.

THENCE COME THINGS GOOD AND EVIL

HD. Marriott Watson, writing in a home paper says:-

One of the most interesting problema in this world is the question of orienta- tion, ** Churches face the East, and all progross goes West. · It is strange, if you coms, to look at it, that all our sila and all our blessings come from the East. - In there any mystia virtue in the Orient 1. Doctors inform us, and mon of science, that all the deadly, plagnes that have aficted Europe had their origin, in the East-typhus, cholera, the Black Death, for example, and even deadlier evitar

If there is any new disenso it will sure. ly come from the East. Infinanza delvended on us in that ways. Now the

philosopher will naturally, ask,

Let us take the other side of the shield.. All our religions have come from the East Incidentally, let us recall that MT. Wells, in his illuminating history, paint- ed put the odd fact that the religion of the East, Buddhism; was the product of. the Aryan race, whereas the religion of the West was the product of the East. But for good or ill, the East has been the breeding place of sit morements.

Where do we get most of our fruits | from from the East. All oar fruit trees were originated in the East, Even out pbestaut and many of our fowls come. from the Enat. I suppose it was because some one recognised this" main fact long

that turkeys were given their.name. ago Turkeys come, as a matter of fact, from America, but 300 years ago sono one must have supposed they came from the East, and dubbed them turkeys

WHY ALWAYS THE ZAST

The mystery of the East is insoluble We are "orientated always, whether wo know it and like it or not. It is held on good grounds "that all civilisation derived from the East The theory is that the conquering Aryan race burst its bonds in Central or Northern Asia, and went southward to India and Persia, westward to Europe. The coquering race settled in colonies in Greece, in Italy, by the shores of the Mediterranean, and gave language and culture to the occi dental world, which had been previously peopled by savages from Africa

Bue we must not forget a later arrival than these, to which we in these islands owe our origin. The Gothue invasion succeeded the Celtic, both of the same Aryan or Nordic blood, and naturally in those days they set upon each other. But the two strains of the same race blentled, and proficed our British races There was an autochthonous race in the islands before, but they were partly absorbel. The remains are to be found in Wales and Ireland. These were neolithic people, but I believe that ethnologiste call them iberians

After all, the puzzle remains... Why does everything come from the East Is t-the swirl of the earth westward Is it the sun Is it the moon Or is the solution to be found in the infinite soli- tudes of space 10 E

No one can tell. The dawn of civilísa tion was in the East, the cradle of our religious and of our culture. In the older daya, men looked from the western world towards the rising sun, whenco came spices and gems and all precious things, and from which also came death.

Prester Joho lived and reigned in the Far East, and beyond also were the Cyoles of Cathay. What is the explanation — Ex Orient Lux 1

"BOOM” IN MARRIAGES. The Ministry of Health made the follow ing statement to a news agency.

During 1920 nearly 400,000 couples were married in England and Wales, a considerable increase on 1019, which had beaten all previous records Of the extent of the boom in matrimony one may get some idea when it is remembered that for. the three year preceding the war the annual average was only 260,000. Indeed, the 300,000-mark has only been passed twice in 1918 and in 1915 when, owing to the cry of single.men first, the mar riages in the latter half of the year went up with a sudden hound and eclipsed ail previous figures

Signs are not wanting, however, that the crest of the matrimonial wave has passed Nuptiality, as it is termed by some statisticians, apparently reached its apex in the summer of last year, for the figures for the last quarter are decidedly lower than they were in both 1815 and 1910 It is a well-established rule nowa days that there are fewer marriages in the winter than in the mammer months but this notwithstanding it seems probable that - 1020 will hold the matrimonial.
