At first the pioneer had lo get his seed from the French settlers in Misccuche. He got seed oats, wheat and potatoes from them. A bean with a very tender pod and called “snapshoot" had been brought from England by the Linkletters and the seeds had been carefully preserved and the Link- letters have produced plants of this species for over 100 years.

NO ONE SHOULD DIE OI‘ APPENDICITIS

Rev. C. J’ St. Clair Jeans spoke

on Sunday evening in the Suinmerside Presbyterian Church on the landingof the Empire Loy-g alists on the shores of Prince rid- ward Island, the Sunday nearest Enrpire Day being considered most appropriate. There is no special day recorded of the landing of the loyalists, but from old manuscripts and, other data, it is thought that the first landing in Bedeque Bay was made in 1784. which would be exactly 150 years ago. According to the Island History “Past and Present" loyalists came to the Island between 1780-1790 settled for the most part round Bedeque. but spread as far as Lot 16 and Lot 19.

The earliest record was the land- ing or William schurman, who set“ tied on the wilmot River in 1786. From a book in the possession of Mrs. Major Schurman of Summer- side it was learned that William Schurman left New York for St. John with his two brvtliers. PhlllP and Jacob, in April 1783, with a party of loyalists numbering 3,000. men, women and children. The landing was made on the present Market square on May 18th. 1783. Jacob was drowned in the St. John River and Philip settled in New Brunswick. William remained in New Brunswick for about one year and then came to Prince Ed- ward Island.

There is only one living descend- ant of Philip Schurman. who is living in New Brunswick, but Wil- liam has many descendants, who have scattered all over the globe and many of them have made the name of Schurman famous.

Jacob Gould Schurman, United States Ambassador to Germany is descended from William Schurman. William Schurman people's came from Holland and were well known in New York before the War of Independance.

William was born in 1746 and died in 1819. He married Jane Bon- net, who died in 1777. He married the second time in 1778. Hts second wife was Elizabeth I-Iyett. From these two marriages have sprung

lord Moynlhan, the great British surgeon, at a discussion in which 100 surgeons took part, stated, "patients never die of appendicitis but only c1 its treatment,” meaning o! course that if immediate and supervised treatment could be rendered no case of appendicitis would die. It was the case that was mistreated by the in- dividual or the family by usiBS laxatives to get rid of the "stomach ache" that caused most of the deaths. ~

He stated further that acute a9‘ pendicitis was “obstructive” and no case would really beccme- serious if laxatives were not given.

While some physicians would hardly agree that every case that was not given a laxative would never become serious, nevertheless the one big point on which all physicians and surgeons agree is that the use of a laxative in appendicitis is the most dangerous thing that could hapen.

“Nothing whatever must be Elven by mouth, especially water." A sin- gle drop causes violent activity at the junction of the small intestine with the large intestine which is but a few inches away from the inflam- ed appendix and so may cause per- foration or rupture resulting in per- itonitis tinflammation- of the cover- ing of the organs and the lining of the abdomen). It is peritonitis that causes death.

If conditions are good early oper- ation is the best treatment. If condi- tlons are bad delay in operating would not be dangerous in any case which had had no purge; but if a purge has been given the surgeon must always operate no matter what conditions exist.

Children must not be treated by the "expectant" or “waiting" meth-

od but must be operated on immed-

iately. No child should be left alone

with an inflamed appendix for even

half an hour. It is likely that the

reason that children should always

undergo operation is that in prac-

tically every case the youngster has

been given a laxative because he was

irritable and appeared to have a

Habit h a form of death; inten- tion is an aspect of llfe" wrote Darrell Figgis; yet from evidence which has recently come to us from America, it appears that life may sometimes actually depend upon habit. The life of the Ameri- cauroutine worker, particularly among machines or in laborator- ies, tends to be closely conditioned by hLs work. “The record of sllch men," says a writer in the Scien- tific American, "shows that, once he is taken off his life-long bench or lathe or desk, the retired man wanders in a sort of daze, lost in a strange life of leisure, and rapid- ly loses interest in life and often dies quickly."

' Here in brief, as seen by the in- dependent Toronto Saturday Night, is the meaning of the Marketing Bill at which Mr. Mackenzie King and his followers at Ottawa have been sniping for weeks past: "The whole tenor of Canada's Meccnomlc life is being rapidly and qradlcally altered in the House of Commons this month, by the grad- ual hammering into shape of the Marketing Bill which will, we pro- . . lphesy, be regarded by future histor- ians as the most ifnportant achieve- ment of the Bennett Government.

WEALTH IN MINERALS

Canada's vast mineral production is

evidently a subject of much interest in the Old Country. Barolays Bank n1,- Limited (MINOR) 1h its monthly "Y. "Sing that term in its accurate Review for May devotes an article

to this subject, from which we quote:

"The extensive nature and the importance of the mineral deposits of Canada are shown by the. fact that the country now produces about 90 per cent. of the World's output of nickel, 60 per cent. of its asbestos, nearly 35 per cent. of its cobalt, 16 per cent. of its zinc, 13 per cent. of its gold, ll per cent. of its silver and l0 per cent. of both its copper and lead. During the present century, remarkable expan- sion has taken place and in 1931 the net value of mineral produc- tion ranked second to agriculture among the primary industries of the Dominion. In 1000, the total value of minerals produced was $04,420,877, whereas last year, ac- cording to s preliminary report of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, the value amounted to $320,502,096. A peak figure of $310,850,246 was reached in 1920, after which the effect of the World depression was reflected in heavy falls in each of the succeeding three years, the value in 1932 being $191,223,225.

higher figures recorded compared with 1932 were due principally to the appreciably greater production of copper, zinc, asbestos and lead, to a particularly heavy rise of $12,- 950,618 in nickel and to an increase amounting to $12,822,502, in the dollar value of gold producti which was more than accounted for by the rise in the price of gold in Canadian dollars, the actual quan- tity produced being smaller than in the previous year."
