WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 929 “IMPORTANT CONFERENCE shownytho 2| the names of Earl - '- » Haig, Lord ench and Sir Arthur

A convention of more than ordin- ary. importance to the farmers and sibck breeders of this Province is the second annual meeting of the Maritime Live Stock Marketing Board, lnc., which opens today in the Strand Theatre. The detailed programme, es published in Tues- day's Guardian. is a promising one. Itwill be noted that in addition to

the attendance of our own leading.

sgricuiturists, prominent men from the neighboring Provinces will be heard, including Dr. M. M. Coady, St. Francis Xavier Univ-ers- ity’, Trade Commissioner Burnaby of Toronto, and the Ministers of Agri-

culture of the other Maritime Prov-

inces. ,

‘The Maritimes have made good‘ progress in stock raising during the, past" two years, but perhaps the; greatest lesson that has been learned: BIvbfiC possibilities that still lie be-i fcre- the industry in this country.| The conference which 0p2ns today in’ Charlottetown should prove oi great‘ value in bringing about a realiza-

n of these possibilities, and it will. g: doubt be very largely attended.‘ heartily welcome to the city andl pyovboe our brother farmers from, bheneighboring Provinces. and trust? um‘ their brief visit will be both‘ pleasant and profitable.

It is expl ed that Premier Bax- ter, of New Brunswick, has never been satisfi with Myer‘: History. but he has 3 ade the statement that it has been ‘ ound impossible to se- cure any ct r book that is at all adequate. ggestions have been made that he Dominion Govern- ment shoul offer a reward for the writing of general Hisnry from the Canadi standpoint. the hr-pe‘ being that 1 the Provinces might adopt it as J standard.

Nova Scotia wasralmostln open re- volt In Halifax flags were at half mast and citizens there and in coun- try districts had even painted their chimneys black in token of mourn- ing. In the Federal election that fol- lowed in August, Hon. Dr. ‘Iupper was the only Unionist elected in the Province, the sole survivor of his shattered band, and he had a. major- ity in but one township of his native county of Cumberland. It was suf- ficient. however, to elect him by 07 votes, over Annand, his opponent.

In New Brunswick the Provincehld first rejected Confederation by a sweeping vote in 1865, and had, in the following year reversed that vote |by a majority equally large. The first i’ Dominion Day was celebrated in var- -icus ways in different sections of the !Province as there was still a large minority of "anti-Confederates." in districts containing French-speaking voters especially. Of these repres- entatives first elected to the House of Commons in New Brunswick five were anti-Confederates, including .such stalwarts as Hon. Albert J. Smith (afterward Sir Albert). Hon. Timothy Warren Anglin, Hon. John Costigan and others. On the other side four of the ten Confederates were elected by acciamation.

In Saint John on the first Domin- ion Day a minor incident occurred that created strong local excitement for a brief period. zealous Confed- erates had stretched a cord across a street from which a Union Jack was suspended. Some companies of voi- unteer militia marching along the street refused to pass under this “obstruction? They were halted. and a boy was aaisctd to go up and cut the cord. Then the troops march- ed bravely on amid cheers, hoot-s and groans of derision. The boy was prosecuted in the city police court. but after addresses of counsel pro and con the charge against him was dismissed. (This writer was at the time employed on the writing staff of the Saint John Telegraph).

There are few if any survivors of the distinguished group of public men, the political giants, who were in active life on the first Dominion Day, and they in part owed their dis- tinction to the fact that they stood upon the horizon of a. new era in British North America. ‘

Of the ten Prime Ministers since that day. only three are living now- Sir Robert Borden. Right Hon. Ar- thur Meighen and Right Hon. Mac- kenzie King, the present Premier of Canada. Some of the past Premiers lived to a good old age of upwards of ninety years; notably Sir Mac- kenzie Howell and Sir Charles Tup- per were in this class, and it is wor- thy of note that Hon. David Wark. one of the original Senators from the Province of New Brunswick, was con- siderably over I00 years of age when he passed away.

During the‘ sixty-two years since the First Dominion Day this country has been under Liberal Conservative leadership for 34 years as against 25 years under Liberal rule. To Sir John Macdonaid belongs the distinction of having the longest individual term of power of any leader of his party-i! years, and to Sir Wilfred Lsurier with l5 years of leadership, belongs the honor of the longest term in the Liberal record. These two great Leaders were successively at the bead of Canadian sflairs during more than half the period since tutor-t Dominion Day.

A slice of bread ‘was given and af- i-cr an hour it was» removed by the stomach pump along with the diges- tive juice of the stomach.

The strength of the digestive Juice was tben learned and treatment given in accordance therewith,

However Dr. M. E. Rehfusg u! Philadelphia has beenicxperimenting on normal and sick individuals with a "meat" meal instead of a bread meal. - , _ 8e has been able to show that "e. stomach whose juice does not show

meal, may show considerably more when it is digesting a. meat meal.

The point is that some individuals may lnave a. normal mucous mem- bransin the stomach butbecause of some general condition of the body, causing the acidity in the stomach to be low normally, the effect of the stomach Juice on the bread DIBSIHB weak, whereas with meat meal the juice becomes much stronger.

In other words the meat meal stim- ulates the juice glands to do more effective work.

Dr. Rehfuee suggests therefore that persona who show but a weak effort in digesting the bread meal should be tried out with a meat meal.

In his experience. in a proportion of thee cases. the strength o: the juice was greatly increased, and this of course means a better chance lfor the patient to g¢t completely well,

This should be a mat-fer of en-fl coursgement for patient and phy- sician who have been relying entirely upon results obtained with ths bread meal.

1n fact persons giving a. similar re- sponse to bread and meat cannot be oonside ed normal.

‘rhts all means that sufferers from stomach trouble, and unfortunately they ere numerous, will now not only let the bread meal but will get a “secopd chance" with the meat meal, in the physicians endeavor to get an exact idea of the condition of tl(e stomach.

‘I'll! GLENGARIY CAIRN.

Q. Where is the Gleligarry Cairn?

A. What is known as the Glengarry Cairn is a conical construction over 50 ft. high situated at, Monument Is- land in the St. Lawrence River op- posite the town of Lancaster. It was erected by the Highland Militia of Glengsrry which took part m the suppression of the Canadian Rebel- lion of 1887-38 and was built to com- memorate the services of Sir John Colborne. who was in command of her Majesty's forces in Canada, at that critical period. The cairn has a curious outside ‘winding staircase. with a cannon at the apex standing on ‘end as a flagpole. An historic tablet now commemorates the event and chranicies the history of the cairn.

the headquarters because of liressy . accessibility from the railway sin-i tlons ahd.the businesalsectlon and the wisdom og- this slie is being imply justified by the manner in which the club's quarters are being used; The looms will be kept open every day anl in the evenings so that visiting] marltimers as well as those former residents of the lower provinces now living in Montreal can get together and discuss matters of mutual inter- est.

A program of special features has been prepared and there will be some form of gathering every month. There are io be banquets and lunch- cons with special speakers, a moon- light excursion on the St. Lawrence motor picnic, the annual dinner dinner dance and simiiiar attractions.

Committees have been formed to handle enquiries of an industrial nature with the idea of misting as far as possible maritime industries to enlarge their markets, to promote a wider knowledge of Maritime affairs, to direct and assist tourists and sim- iliar objects as well as lookingafter the club's social activities.

It is hoped tilat the Governments‘ of the three Maritime Provinces may within the near future recognise the opportunity offered by this organiz- tion to further the aims of the Mari- times and that some e of eup- port might be forthcoming.

During the past year the club was visited by scores of Maritime men who were visiting or passing through the city. Many of these were pqliam

trips and s. number of helpful sug- gestions were made by them. One of these was that provisions migisitbe made for non-residents so that they could feel free to make use of the club facilities without, a sense pf ob- ligation. To meet this requirement the club has established a non-ras- ident membership and my meri- lilne man may now become s mem- ber for the nominal fee of ten dollars a year. ,

The secretes-y, if desired, will ar- range hotel accomodation in Mon- treal or extend any courtesieswithin his power io travellers.

The club has among its honorary officers many names with a Domin- ion-wide reputation. The honorary pieeldent is the Rev. Canon Allan P. Bhatford. rector of the church ofSe. James the Apostle and a former Nova Scotian. The honorary vice-presid- ents are: Sir Frederick Williams- Taylor, General Manager of the Bank of Montreal: Charles I. Neill. General Manager of the Royal Bank of Canada: C. B. Foster, passenger traffic manager of the C. P. 8.: Col. G. B. Stairs. K. c. of the legal. firm of McGibbon Mitchell d: Stairs; Dr. W. W. Chipman. eminent physician; Rev. Dr. D. J. Fraser: Sir Andrew MacPhaii, physician and author, and Dr Cyrus MalcMillan, head of the department of Ertglieh in McOlll Un- lversity. v
