Mr. Bennett's idea of his duties as ecvcrninental leader is somewhat different to Mr- King's. He believes that actions speak louder than words. His attitude in this respect, we believe 1a shared by the majority of his fel- low Canadians. Our problems, econo- mic and financial, are great, and most of ua would rather have the Prime Minister make headway in solving them than be rogaled each day with bombastic statements which neither feed the hungry nor provide work for the unemployed.

It is now over fifty years since Lord Roberta‘ great march from Ka- bul to Kandahar, and his daughter. Lady Roberts, making an appeal for the Soldiers‘ and Sailors‘ Help S0- ciety, recently stated that "the surviv- ors of the march are now but few in number."

Notes by tlie Way

A native philosopher of Utah lay! that it ls quite unneceas y for men or women to sleep every night. Two I or three nights 1n a week are quite enough, he declar. » The other nights they can "lie awake!“ That is precisely what a lot of people do, only they never talk much about It The discovery that actual sleep la not necessary for everybody every night is not new. The old Chinese thinkers had something to say about it, and it has been a topic of dlscuslon down the centuries.

But the man who actually does lie awake because he has tried to sleep and cannot, Is apt to disagree with all the philosophers. What he wants ls placid unconsclousn- -- the factor of slumber that will remove his conscious self from his con- sclous knowledge for n certain num- ber of hours, while nature performs her recuperative miracle.

"it is a peculiar thing said Thomas Edison that the common people are best of! in that country which has the most millionaires. Yet they are always down on the milllonalru. It doesnt seem right”. and I cannot understand 1t." I

An unofficial record of Z40 miles an hour set by Captain Malcolm Campbell on the sands at Daytona Beach, shows that the late Major Segrave had not reached the limit of man's capacity to build speed into vehicles nor of man's ability to handle these monsters of speed when they were constructed and set loose. Until an official mark has been set showing something higher than Segrnves 231 miles an hour, the record stands, but 1t does not look as if it will stand for long; and again it is a British car and a Brit- ish driver that threaten the world's record for speed on land.

The British Prime lilinlster an- nounced that the government had decided its duty was to refrain from throwing the country into a general election unless circumstances forced it to take such a course. When duty and common sense and the princi- ples of safety first combine in sup- port of a policy it should not have been a difficult decision for the gov- ernment to make.

Calcium chloride is bclng used in connection with sand or cinders in lessening the hazard on lcy and slippery places on the Minnesota trunk highways. Sand or cinders thus treated will imbed themselves in the ice, while dry sand or cinders strewn over the ice‘ often be swept away by passing cars. The formula is given. Make a solution at the rate of 100 pounds of calcium chloride to 13 gallons of water, using enough to saturate the storage ‘pile of sand or cinders. Stronger ‘solutions may cause damage to pavements.

The highway maintenance crews sand or cinder slippery stretches of highways as far as time permits. giving special attention to hills turns, intersections and other haz- ardous places. Sometimes, however. sleet will make all highways icy and slippery and then it is obviously im- ' possible to cover all of them at once. At such times-any many others- the only safe way is to drive slowly and carefully, and in extreme cases postpone the trip.

L, went wwande lug and when ll‘. was caught last June its captor was a Newfoundland fisherman who was operating north of Red Buy in the Strait of Belleisle.

caused by some infection in the body and are able to cure or're- lieve the majority of cases, yet the number of cases is really trier-ea‘. lng.

Why do the cases continue to 1n- crease?

Because rheumatism in' its early stages is really a “silent? ailment. It may be months and often is years. before there is any symptom that will enable the patient to know that he has it. Then when he gets sev- ere pain 1n joints and muscles he seeks his doctor to obtain relief.

What has been happening during the months or years before the pain came iuto the joint?

Infection-poison-from some part of the body has been gradually fight- ing the body forces. The individual ‘has been feeling tired, no inclination to work 0r play; often quite ready to sleep during the day. He has no par- ticular pain anywhere, perhaps an occasional sore throat or even a lit- tie jumplness about his teeth, but no real severe pain.

This is the forerunner of rheuma- tism because the majority of cases are due to poisons from tonsils or teeth. Often these poisons lie for a considerable time in the intestine from whence they are absorbed into the blood. '

You can thus understand why some people feel considerably bright- er aftcr using a purgatlve-epsom salts-as thistakes the surplus poi- son away for the time being.

CAR LICENSE NUMBERS

Sir:—Not even the financial straits of government will justify the doubl- ed up tax, together with its accomp- anying annoyance which, by TENN legislation, has added to the already overload 0f burden placed upon auto car owners. -

People are frequently changing cars-to some extent this applies to every owner, for at some time or an- other every one exchanges his old car for a, new one. At each exchange he must procure a new license. This means that instead of the $20. to $25. tax he must pay a double tax of from $40 to $50 for the season.

This is outrage enough from the cam-i view of it. But more follows. His license number,‘ registered in his name, passes to the new owner. If traffic cops take that umber speed- ing, the charge is liable to be sworn out against the innocent person 1n the original register. If caught by prohibition sieuths, the old ‘owner must clear himself of the suspicion, both to the law and the tattle of gossip. And if 1n a collision, the mot- or vehicle act makes him the guilty-

system particularly the liver, cannot filter out the poisons, or kill ofl the harmful organisms and they start up trouble in the joints eitherby de- positing substances in the joint or attacking the surfaces of the joint itself_

Now, although epsom salts, heatl or baking the joint, the application of Wintergreen oil in liquid or oint- ment form, all give some relief, the only reasonable treatment for rheu- matism is the ‘removal of the cause- bad teeth. tonsils, rnd so forth.

Remember, rheumatism is the end of a process that has been going on | for a long time. 1
