A Noteworthy Anniversary

A cordial ivclcoitte will be extended by otir citizens to the delegates attending the annual convention of the \\'oitieii's lnstittitcs of Prince Edward Island, which tipens tomorrow‘ morning, and will continue until Tihtirstlay afternoon, con- cluding with a rcceptioti by Lieutenant Governor Delllois and .\lrs. Delllois at Government Hottse, and a banquet in the Canadian National lltitcl_

This _vear's convention is of special interest. marking as it does the twciitv-tifth anniversary of the \\'on~.ctt‘s Institutes in this Province. It wotild be tllll-lftlll to exaggerate the great value of the iuoveiitent. particularly in prontotiiig pub- lic health and education. A ucw community‘ spirit has been fostered in rural sections all over the Province as a direct result of Institute activ- ities, aiul the continued growth of the organiza- tion is one of the most encouraging signs 0f the times.

A special feature of the programme this year will be the ziddress \\'ctlilestlay' evening on Co- operative Medicine by Dr. Kingsley Roberts of New York, (lirector of the Bureau of Co-opcr- ative hlediciite of the Co-opcrative League 0f the L'nitcd States. The subject of co-operativc hospitalization was recently brought to the a:- tention of the people of Prince Edward Island in the reports of the President of the trustees of the Prince County and Prince Edward Island Hospitals, and the system, which provides for hospital care by the [iaytneut of an annual fee in advance, is reported to be working success- fully in Antigonish.

The convention will be presided over by the President, Mrs. L. B. Mellish of Montague. The regular reports will be read and discussed, and addresses of welcome given by Mayor Foster and Premier Campbell. Other speakers will include Hon \V. H. Dennis, Minister of Agri- culture, Dr. Harry S. Thomson. field secretary of the Canadian Dental Hygiene Council, Miss Ida Gallant, Extension Department. St. FYHTIUS Xavier University‘, and at the closing banquet. Illrs. Clarence Webster, of Shediac, N. B.

The convention programme is a varied as well as interesting one, and should appeal to the gen- eral public as well as those more directly inter- ested in the work of the Institutes. It is hoped that the weather will be auspicious. and that the sessions, in keeping with the importance of the anniversary, will be the largest and most suc- cessful yet held by this splendid organization.

Mr. King's Assault

An attempt was made last week in Parliament to offset Mr. Bennett's denunciation of Liberal vote-catching methods by charging him with “c0nspiracy" to buy the Manitoba electors in the last Dominion campaign. The charge was based on a letter sent to Mr. Bennett (not writ- ten by him) and proved it boomerang. Non- partisan reaction to the incident is well summed up by the Toronto Saturday Night, from which we quote:

“The usually placid and imperturbable Lib- eral Chieftain abandoned altogother his nor- mally dignified Parliamentary mien to adopt the most savage language and manner of the hustings. He assailed Mr. Bennett impassioned- ly and without restraint. At one stage in the proceedings he was part way across the floor of the House, shouting, gesticulating, condemn- ing.

“It seems that Mr. Bennett had received a letter. And apparently, if there is one thing equally dangerous to writing letters, it is receiv- ing them. The point was, of course, that the particular letter to \Vl'|lCll Mr. King referred had been written by blajor Ralph \Vehb, former lllayor of lVinnipeg and one of the prominent Illanitoban organizers of the Conservative Party, and that it tendered in some detail advice as to ho\v public money could be spent iu road build- ing in Manitoba with the maximum political ef-

fect. \\'itltotit troubling to explain how Mr. Bennett could have prevciitcrl anyone in the country from writing a letter to him on any stibject—anrl there was no answering letter from the Conservative Leader to the missive — Mr. King proceeded directly to charge that the in- cident constituted a scandal in comparison with which lleauharnois paled into insignificance.

"To those who viewed it dispassionately’, Mr. King’s whole performance was unconvincing, not to say ‘fjshy'. Not onlv was Mr. Bennett himself attacked. but Hon. Dr. R. I, Manion, a possible Conservative Leader of the near future. was carcfullv mentioned in the discussion of the Incident. The entire episode suggested that the hour had suddenly struck at which it had be- come important for Liberalism to lay down the first barrage of a campaign of party politics."

Budget Reflections

Press comment on the Dunning Budget is pretty unanimously to the effect that it fore- rhadows no immediate general election appeal. It is not good Liberal election propaganda. One exchange notes the significance of the fact that it was delayed until Saskatchewan was "safely in the bag," meaning that the absence of pront- ised tariff reductions would have alienated Lib- eral stippnrt in that Province.

Mr. Dunning had to confess that the Canada- Unlted States trade agreement is still unhatched. “Indeed,” any: a contemporary, "if the inspir-

. 13w aw. '-~-

fl--+N-7I.w1UiI‘Iflvuitu&swow-.- ... .

ed voices be right, the hens appear to have got off their eggs altogether, with all their work for nothing. At any rate, there is no agreement, and with no agreement Mr. Dunning has wash- ed his hands of the tariff completely, which may or may not be hard upon his colleagues, Mr. Gardiner and Mr. Crerar.

The budget figures show that the 8 per cent Sales Tax—the highest on record-paid last year approximately all the public debt charges. The Income Tax paid the grants in aid and other special expenditures 0n the provinces, the sub- sidies and special grants, old age-pensions, Civil Service pensions and superannuation charges. “Nnisance" taxes, (which Liberal members used to spend days and weeks denouncing when in Opposition.) just about met the war and mili- tary pensions. The Excise duties were suffici- ent to pay the Canadian National deficit of more than $42,000,000 and the upkeep of other gov- ernment enterprises.

Another newspaper comment: “The people of Catiada as a whole were deserving of greater consideration in the matter of tax reduction and especially in view of the fact that in the fiscal year 1937-38 the record reventic of all time was garnered by the Federal treasury, totalling‘ Sgififiozncxx». Despite this the Finance bIiniS- ter concluded the year with an approximate dc- ficit of $13,775,000, which reveals that the Lib- eral policy in the Dominion is one of spend as you go, a direct violation of one of the prin- cipal pledges which aided the present administra- tion to power, that of lower taxation. Of course it has alivays been thr- practice of Lib- eral governments after attaining office to cast aside their platform. it having served their pur- pose as a chart to secure power."

One night Harriet went to visit her friend the watchman and they drank London gin together. This resulted in a violet quarrel and the angry watchman pushed Harriet into the vat of boiling meat.

However all noise ls not out- doors and one of the most dis- turbing noises-to others-ls snor- lng. Snoring has been measured by the sudlometer ln sound units, the decibel, which ls the smallest sound that can be heard by the normal ear. This machine shows that: the sound of the average ls equal to the sound of a noisy office or automobile.

In l-Iygela, s. few months ago.

according to careful estimates, one out. of every eight persons snores more or less regularly, and do doubt. every person snores oc- casfonally.

What: ls the cause cl snoring about it?

There are many causes of snor- ing but: most. cases are due to some obstruction to the breathing -enlarged turblnate bones, bend- ing to one slde of the septum( the bone and cartilage partition be- tween the nostrils). adenolds in Many cases are due simply to lying on the beck snd letting the mouth drop open.

The "noise" from snoring is due to vibrations while breathing in and out of the soft. palate and the uvula (the little portion of

flesh hanging between the tonsils or the place where the tonsils have been.)

Lying on the left: side when the left side of the nose ls ‘blocked’ and the right slde when the right side of nose ls blockell, prevents snoring because it allows the wing or side of the nose to drop down leaving more slr space because nostril becomes more widely open.

However, as Margaret McEach- em points out, the best. plan to cure the ‘snorer’ ls to have him vlstt. the family physician or the nose and throat specialist and
