Eye Sight and Production Costs

Defective Vlaion amongst employees, is responsible for a serious increase in Produc- tion Costs.

A blinded machinist would be a drug on the market; no employer would want him, and yet there are thousands of PARTIALLY blind work- ers, whose productive effic- iency is cut in half, by some correctable form of eye de- fect. -

industrialists are becoming alive to the serious loss thus incurred, and as a result. Eyfl Clinics are now conducted in many large shops and far. torles throughout the land.

THE CIVIC ELECTION

Today it will be the duty as welt as the privilege of every man in the city to vote for the men who. in his opinion, will best serve in the government of the city. 1t is true there are no great issues in- volved, yet the elected representa- tives, whoever they may be, have a right to know that all our citizens are sufficiently interested to vote for or against them.

INTERWOVEN ACTIVITIES

The aim of the successful farmer is to so classify and arrange his farm activities that each shall be a help to the other. Certain activi- ties are such that they cannot be prosecuted successfully alone. Hogs. for example, cannot be rais-

i ed profitably without milk; hence,

hogralsing and dairying must go together. Neither cows nor hogs can be raised without grains and grasses and roots. This is another bond between the hog and the cal.- tie business.

Poultry also fit in as a co|nple-

ment of the dairy business for chickens especially raquirehnlllt feeding.

These three classes. cattle. hogs

and poultry are complements one of the other and between them all they not only utilize all the field crops but. while doing so and mak- ing up the revenue of the farm, re- turn to the soil all the fertility us- ed in its production. The farm that supports a dairy herd. a herd of swine and a flock of poultry cannot become exhausted. is 0n the contrary growing richer year by year.

lll Krowing field crops alone and selling tho grains and roots direct. the waste of soil fertility must be made up by fertiliser procured out- side the farm, acoatiy process and one which generally leaves a smal- ler margin of profit than the act- ual cash account shows. for with the best of cars the farm steadily loses its fertility.

The raising and selling of certi- fled seed potatoes is probably the most remuneratlve of the raw inat- erial llnes of forming known at pre- sent. Curiously this class of pro- duct ‘ be '..lly grown wltir barnyard manure. lt requires chemical fertiliser to produce the

soil can be indefinitely maintained

and so long as prices are sufficient- ly remunerative to compensate for

the exported fertility dad leave a reasonable margin of profit, the business is as safe as any other.

True farming for this province

means that kind of farm- ing which, while drawing a revenue from the‘ soil, does not impoverish it. To attain

this object the dairy herd. with its complementary lines. hogs and poultry. ls undoubtedly the ideal. its possibilities are simply infinite and the size of the herds and the flocks can only be limited by the capacity of the farm to feed them. These herds and flocks should be increased yearly as the means of feeding increase and we have yet to see in this province the farm that has more cattle and hogs and poultry than it can take care of. The smallness of our hog herds has frequently been commented up- on by visitors. particularly by farm- ers from Ontario. in that province on farms of 100 to 200 acres herds of from 20 to 60 swine are by no means exceptional while some of the principle breeders have as many as a hundred. There is no more pro- fitable stock than hogs of the prop- er bacon i-YDc. There‘ is almost al- ways a good price for live young pigs, and. generally speaking, the prices for dressed hogs, are such as will leave some profit, while in any case. they help to maintain soil fertility.

OUR COMPETITORB

in the current number of "Com- mercial intelligence" there is given a statistical table showing the va- lue of Great Britain's imports from different countries. 1t is not com- forting to find that Canada occup- ies a rather low position in these statistics. Figures make dry read- ing but a few from this table may be interesting. We quote from the figures for 1923, and, to avoid con- fusion‘, in round numbers. giving only the number of millions:

In 1923 Great Britain imported from the United States wheat to the value of 17 million pounds; from Canada 15 million;- from Arg- entine 17 millions.

Wheat meal and flour. from the United States 2% millions; from Canada 4 millions:

Barley from the United States 3 millions; from Canada 1% mil- lion.

Bacon from Denmark 19% mil- lions: from United States 11% millions; from Canada 3% millions.

Hams from United States 7% millions; from Canada ‘A million.

Butter from Denmark 17 mil 110118; Argentine 4 millions; from Canada only 34.000.

Cheese, New Zealand 7 millions; Canada 1 million. .

Eggs, Denmark 5% millions; Netherlands 1 million; Canada V. million.

From the above figures it is clear that we are not doing the trade with Great Britain that we ought to be doing as s dominion of the Empire. We are trading in the British market on equal terms with the United States, Argentine and European countries and in most cases we are outclassed by our larger rivals.

On the other hand we are giving s preference to British goods which are puttlhg many of our Canadian Industries out of business. Our British preference ls a onesided af- fair with the advantage all in favor of Great Britain. Had Canada stood with the other overseas dom- lnlonl in the matter of inter-lin- lime! preference we would have hall a show lu the 13mm. mfg“, But our voice was not hears at

Notes by. the Way

lf~the question were asked. How many Senators has Prince Edward Island? The ready answer to what might be thought a simple inquiry would be four, Hon. Messrs. Yeo. McLean, Prowse and Murphy. But what is not generally ,so weli known is that other members oi’ the Senate than those just named were born in Prince Edward ls- land.

Hon. William B. Ross was one of these and was born at Lot 49, near Charlottetown in the year 1855. He studied law and was ad- mitted to the bar of Nova Scotle in 1878 and was made a King's Coun- sel in 1890. He was summoned to the Senate in November 1912. Sen- ator Ross is set down in the Parlia- mentary Guide as one of the lead- ers of the Halifax Bar, a Cohservs- tive and a Presbyterian.

Another Senator who resides out-

side his native Province is Lieut. Col. Hon. John B. Stanfield, who was born at Charlottetown. May 18th, 1868. He is a director of the well-known manufacturing firm of Stanfielcfs Limited. was three times elected to the House of Commons for Colchester, N. 8., in 1907, 1908 and 1911 respectively and was appointed to the Senate in 1921. A Conservative and Angli- can. it seems worthy of note that our Province. which has but four Senators of her own, has persented two to Nova Scotia. We must hope and believe that these gentlemen still retain a sympathetic interest in the Garden of the Gulf where they first saw the light of day. To the House of Commons as well as to the Senate the island Province has made some contribu- tions. Milton H. Campbell, M. P., for MacKenxle, " skstchewan, was born at Greenvale, P. E. l, in 1881. He was first elected in 1821, was previously a Liberal but is now a Progressive.

Several of the members of Pro- vincial Governments and Legisla- tures also hand their birth in Prince Edward island. among whom were the following:

Hon. John-D. Maolean, Provincial Secretary and M. P. P. for Green- wood, Brltish Columbia, was born at Culioden, P. E. 1., November 8." 1873 and was educated at Prince of Wales College. He is a practis- ing physlclan and surgeon in Vicv toria. He was elected to the B. C.‘ Legislature in 1916 and was ap-l pointed Provincial Secretary in 1917. ln his earlier life he was a school teacher for eight years. Hon Dr. Maciean is a Liberal Presbyterian.

William 0. Rose, who represents Nelson in the B. C. Legislature was born at Lakeviile,P.E.I. in 1870. and educated at Prince of Wales College and McGlil University. He obtained the degree of M. 1),, (j, M M., in 1900. He was elected Alder- man in Nelson for five successive terms, 100s, 1001. 100s, 191s and

WHY WORKING INDOORB

TIRES YOU

i—"--.-

In a former article it was shown that when a muscle was exercised. that products were formed-fatigue products-and that they gradually paralyzed the muscle so that it could not work anymore.

Experiments on animals show- ed that juices extracted from a tired muscle, actually paralyzed a fresh unworked muscle when in- jected into it.

lf the blood going to {he muscle

g rich in oxygen these fatigue pro- ducts are taken up_ by the blood and are thrown out of the body as carbon dioxide in the breath.

So just as long as the lungs can supply a sufficient amount of oxygen. then the fatigue products are practically carried away as soon as they are manufactured, because the oxygen of the blood immedia- tely itakes them up.

But if the blood has not sufficient oxygen in it, and the muscle keeps on working, you can readily see that the fatigue products will be- gin to accumulate in the muscle and s0 fatigue or tiredness comes on. if in addition to working steadily. the air in the room in which you are working is not changed fre- quentiy, then the blood naturally cannot get as much oxygen from it. That's clear enough.

You will be breathing air as fre- quentiy, in fact more frequently, but there is the deficiency in the oxygen of the room, and an actual increase also in the carbon dioxide. Part of the treatment in severe cases of pneumonia. where the patient is suffering from air hung- er. and thc body is actually turning blue, is to administer pure oxygen from a tank by the bedside.

This extra oxygen takes up a great amount of the waste Dro- ducts of the body, because after all, it is retaining wastes that is the dangerous thing in all illnesses. The physician treating tuber- culosis will tell you that it l5 ox- piration, breathing ou-t the bad air. that ls the hard thing for the patient to do.
