In spite of‘ alarmist Iepotfil, observ- ers with knowledge of India. and of the trend of political movements there and in Britain are pleased at the progress made at the Round Table Conference. There is no reason to talk of the possibility of a break-

preciatlou by all classes of our citiz- ens. These reports indicate that we

have much to be thankful for in this

Province during a tieriod of general depression. and that our industries. agricultural and commercial. have been vieli maintained. The reference made to the improved prospects this year in the tourist traffic is partic- ularly timely. in view of the en- ticipated early completion of the Canadian National Hotel and the new car ferry steamer. While it is reported that the new ferry can hardly be completed on sdiedule tune. it is to be hoped that, every ef- fort win be made by the contracting s-hipbuilders with this end in view, and that it will be ioady for service at the earliest pcxsible date. Emphasis is properly Yilaced in the retiring president's report upon the unsatisfactory service on the rccc-izt-

ly completed Murray Harbour branch,

line. It was a on the part of

costly blunder tho railway auth- orities to acquiesce in the political demand for the construction of the present branch line. That blunder must be rectified; and if satisfactory service should necessitate the re- building of the Hillsboro Bridge, then the sooner this work is undertaken the better.

Congratulation; Mr. George J. Tweedy on llLs election to the presidency of the Board in ‘suc- cession oi’ Mr. J. P.

An Encouraging Report The directors and shareholders of the Charlottetown Driving Park and Provincial inhibition Association. whose annual meeting was held yes- terday‘, have every reason to feel sat- isfied with the result of last year‘: ec- tivlties. W'hile the expenditure in- volved in repairs and new construc- tion work made it impossible to pay a dividend. nevertheless these im- provementa represent an important balance on the profit side of the ledger.

Oi‘ outstanding importance in the iirectors’ report is the statement showing the increase in the number of exhibits over 1929. This increase totalled 630 and included all classes with the exception of light horses. art; work and ladies’ fancy work, in which there were small decreases. ‘the increase of 145 entries in the dairy cattle classes is inrticularly set- lsfictory.

That the Provincial Exhibition of 1030 set a new standard for attend- ance is also gratifying. It indicates the increasing importance of the ex- hibitlon to the agricultural and ur- ban life oi’ the Province. and furnish- as a promising augury of future pro- I!!! and success.

Another Trade Outlet

Canada has opened a new trade office in Cairo, Egypt. with the ob- Jcct of developing Canadian trade veuh that and neighboring countries. In addition to Egypt and the Sudan, the territories to which special at- lentlon will be devoted by the new Trade Commissioner are Palestine, Cyprus. Syria. Iraq and Persia. These countries, a review of condi- tions in that area shows, are mainly agricultural and backward industrial-

{modem life. Canada is already carrying on a

[trade among the group is Egypt. In ‘the last fiscal year Canada imported ‘from Egypt goods valued at $155,852 and exported Canadian products Mvorth 510128.530. A direct steamship lina was recently inaugurated be- tween Canada and Ehstem Mediter- ranean ports and a considerable de- velopment of trade is expected. to follow.

Fool-Proof Poison Bottles

The Montreal City Council may ep- pcal to the Federal Government/to take steps to reduce the number of accidents by poisoning by enacting a law whereby all poisons shall be sold by retailers in triangular shaped bottles, preferably 0f Bless roughened on the outside, on which is moulded the word "Poison" so that even if the label should drop off the warning would still be obvious. The purpose or the trlangulalr shaped bottles is that anyone taking hold of such a bottle would know it contained pois- on. even without an examination of the label. '

Alderman Seigler, whose name de- connection with

serves nieiition in the mooting of this common sense ‘proposal, further suggests that on the bottom of thg label should be printed a simple antidote to be given the pa- , ti-uit till the doctor arrives. lkuggists, he said. have to sell pois- ons in some kind of bottle, and his idea is that if a. standard shape of bottle were adopted the public would become accustomed to that fact, just as they are now accustomed to rec- ognize certain varieties of drinks and patent medicines by the distinctive shape of the bottle frhe use of such bottles in the dispensing of poison is general Ln England and is already in use by some manufacturers in Can- ada, ‘The idea now is to make it e statutory provision. then-by insuring greater safety to the public.

Canadian Fertilizer

Some months ago our local con- temporary was worrying greatly about the farmers supply of fertilizer under tariff protection. It should therefore welcome the reassuring announce- ment. that there are now 30 odd plants in Canada which are engaged in manufacturing fertilizers. Of these a dozen or so produce chemical fertil- iiaers as their chief products. others. such as the Steel Company of Canada. the Algorns Steel Company and the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Con- solidated. make fertilizer material as a. by-product. Meat packing and the fish industry also supply fertilizers es lay-products. The chemical branch of fertilizer manufacture is a growing industry and will, in time, be the chief source of commercial fertilisers in the country. Its importance will increase steadily with advance of in- teuslve agriculture throughout the Dominion.

A letter addressed to a Toronto paper states that the managers of Canadian summer hotels are in near- ly every case American and choose American help. In view of thsfact that there is e great deal of unem- ployment in Canada. at the present time, an exchange suggests that the Inu-nigration Department should very carefully investigate the bone} fldcs of those men and women coming from the United States this year to take positions. The policy of the pres- ent Dominion Government is “Cana- da First," which naturally means Canadians first.

The children of the brain become to us actual eidstenoes, more actual, indeed, than the people who impinge on ua in the street, or who live next- door. We are more intimate with Shakespeare's men and women then we are with our contemporaries, as they are, on the whole, better com- pany. They are more beautiful in form and feature, and they express themselves in a. way that the most gifted strive after in vain.

Every hour tbs-t passes. every unit that is added to the appalling total of the unemployed, every pound that is wasted in futilenational expenditure brings nearer the day of Mr. Bald- win's triumph. He has behind him the solid weight of the Scottish Unionist party convinced of victory as never before-Edinburgh Scotsman.

hmonn de Valera. whose name has been missing front the daily news for s long time, comes forward with the statement that his party will emerge victorious from the next Irish Free State elections. De Valera has made similar predictions on oth- er occasions and events have belied them. Present indications are that he will be wrong again.

Great Britain now has 2,500,000 un- employed. yet is employing fully that number of foreign workers. Even the unemployment insurance fund, which is now $350,000,000 in debt to the Government, really finds its way for the moat part, together with huge ad- ditional sums, into the pockets of for- eign workers, for the money that is distributed in doles to idle British workmen is spent by them in large degrees in support of foreign work- ers whose products they consume. There is a lesson for Canada in ell this.

B..t1__-~_._"'_-Baa-. Mo. 1n - CLKSSIFYIN G AND TREATING Aswan,

Perhaps you or one of your family is afflicted with asthma and have been reading from time to time that asthma is now curable. ' You may have tried some of the newer methods cl treatmentFcuttiug down on certain foodsroperatlons on nose and throat; the use of certain vaccines, X ray treatments, ultra violet rays-and have had no satis- factory results. Why? Because although the above and other methods have cured many cases, every case of asthma is a law unto itself and must be treated ac- cordlngly. In reviewing many cases of asthma. Dr. G. B. Rice, Boston, tells us that Dr. Burton Hasaltine, Chic- ego, and Dr. Jae. Adam, Glasgow, Scotland, both arrived at the same wt clusion about the same time and that is that asthma. is a poisoning due to organisms or other poisonous matter in the system. ‘This poisoned condition of the system interferes with the proper balance of the nerve supply to the bronchial tubes. alters the chemical condltionlof the blood, and produces irritation of the ethmold sinus or cavern adjoining the back part of the nose. And the underlying cause of this poisoning may be infected teeth or tonsils, the sinuses adjoining the nose, or the gall bladder and intes- tine; constipation and the failure of the body to get rld of its wastes pro- perly; errors of diet and unfavor- able livlng conditions or climate. " Dr. A. LaForge, Chicago. divides asthma‘. cases into five divisions or categories (a) anything of an ob- structive nature in region of nose and throat, such as polypus or in- flammatlon of the sinuses (b) any- thing which may be poisoning the system. tonsilitls. bed teeth. inflam- ed gall bladder and so forth, (c) anything that interferes with getting rid of wastes-constipation, kidney or skin conditions. (d) gall stones. chronic appendicitis. growths. (c) conditions like asthma but where the shortness. of breath _is due to heart, kidney 0r lung conditions. What about treatment? ‘This must be done by a physician and s nose and throat specialist working together. The patient is built up physically and where the treat- ment is likely to be prolonged, his- pital treatment for ‘two or three weeks is given. ' Hot packs to induce sweating. drinking ten 0o fifteen glasses of water daily; cleansing the large in- fcstine by high injections, and the use of medicines that work on liver and gall bladder. The nose conditions are treated by eotfon packs of silver nitrate solution for the two weeks and any surgical operation is then performed. Acute attacks of asthma are treat- ed with adrenalin.

Results show that this classific- ation of cases and treatment give moat satisfactory results.

The methods employed in doing business with the Indians were quaint,‘ mid sometimes left nothing to be desired in the matter of thorough- ness. The white chief. resplendent with gold lace and crimson velvet, received the red man with awe in- spiring dignity. The Indian, with much ceremony. then endowed the ivhite chief with all his worldly goods in the form of costly furs. whereupon the white man, quite overwhelmed. presented the Indian with the riches of the Bash-beads, bells, rum, buttons. fishooks. etc. ‘Then would the pipes of peace smoke furiously. It sometimes happened, however. that the peace sentiment all went up in smoke. and a settlement of another nature was then due. The party of the second part, perhaps, would be- gin to suspect that it had been hardly done by, and if not quietly put to sleep by a hurried gift of drugged liquor, would rise up and kill the party of the first part. It was e gentle way the red man had of pay- ing ofi‘ oldkscores.

(Vancouver Province)

Every once in a while some huge tree is felled on the western coast of America. that challenges the world for size. California's huge redwoocls and Sesquoias are fumous for their enormous proportions.

A recent tree that reached the sawmill at Veronia. Oregon, is the latest claimcut to the large tree title. being ten feet in diameter at the base and 230 fcct m1. But this is only a toothpick compared with the giant Doimlas fir that was out near Vancouver in 1896.

The size of this tree established a record for uli time. and it is beleived to have been the biggest fir in the world. Mir. George Carey, pioneer re- sident of the North Shore, felled this forest monarch in Lynn Valley-An fact the tree had to be topped, be- cause of its immense size, before it was dropped.

Measurements of this giant, as given by forestry officials here, were 417 feet in height, being 300 feet to the first limb, 25 feet in diameter and 77 feet in circumference at the butt, and 9 feet in diameter at 20'! feet "height. It was believed to have
