Come Again, Mr. Burnap!

Prince Edward Island has made enthusiasm of many summer visit- ors who come to her shores. A rec- ent and very welcome convert to our tourist attractions is Vice President Burriap, of the Canadian National Railways. Mr. Burnaps visit last week was unfortunately/wary brief. Those oi our citizens who had the pleasure of meeting him will be de-l lighted to welcome him again for a; longer period. And it lS evident that‘ Mr. Burnap intends tp return at the earliest opportunity. "Sees Tourist Paradise in P. E. Island," "Says Isl- and is really one vastCarden," “Was Greatly Impressed with summer beauty of Island Provincefi-these were some of the headlines in papers featuring interviews with Mr. Bur- nap on his return to the mainland. Such praise from a man of such judgment and experience speaks for itself.

. . ,,. r On May 12th last, at. the annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Temperance Alliance, Mr. Thomas Moyse, Bedeque, president of the Al- liance, said in the course of his ad- dress: “There is great danger of weakening and yielding of the people to the constant pressure being kept up by the Liquor Interests." 1-le ask- ed ii it were possible that our re- spectable, law-abiding citizens, our

possible are most creditable to Cen- ada. Hospitals and medical care are provided, sanitation improved, and hygiene taught. Primary education, as well as eduoatirsr: devoted ‘z the practical business of living, is also provided. Constant supervision of the tribes to help them t.o improve their standard of comfort ‘is a. duty of the Government. and is carried on by ef- ficient and faithful public servants. The annual income of the 108,000 In- dians amounts to about $10,000,000 s. year, a figure which compares fav- orably with that of any other group of 100,000 persons in the Dominion.

Home Products Preferred

A growing preference for Canadian products, based on a more wide- spread realization that an increase of Canadian production helps people in all occupations. is noted by the executive committee of the Canadian Manufacturers Association in their review of thekprogress oi the Produc- ed-in-Canada. campaign. After men- tioning some of the more important exhibitions held durim lest year at which Produced-in-Canada goods were featured, the committee reported that it had arranged for the distribution of cards urging the pur- chase of Canadian products at about 500 exhibitions, fall fairs and trade shows during this year, the distribu- tion amounting to 13.500 large and 27.500 small cards in English and in French. In addition the associations of architects and engineers in Can- ada. are asked 0o Specify Canadian

products in preference to foreign products and construction. 9- 4! t ' t

church members. the people who pay the taxes and support the churches, hospitals and other charitable insti- tutions, would allow themselves to be "outdone and overruled" by these In- terests which he denounced in the strongest terms at. his command.

On Tuesday, June 3, Prime Minist- er Mackenzie King appointed to the Senate of Canada the Hon. Lawrence A. Wilson, ex-president of the Licens- ed Victuallers Association of the the Vline and Spirit Merchants As- eociation o! Canada, and one oi the wealthiest and most prominent Lib- eral Liquor magnates in Montreal.

On Wednesday. June 4, at a Lib- .,. convention Siimmerside, the East Prince Liberal Association, of which Mr. Thomas Moyse.

Vanishing No Longer

Canada's Indian wards, the abor- iginal inhabitants of our country, are too often referred to as a. "van- lshig race." There is, in fact, a ten- dency to loose sentiment in regard to them. It is, therefore, cheering to read the remarks oi Dr. Duncan Campbell Scott, Deputy-Superinten- tlent-Generai of Indian Affairs at Ot- tawa. He says:

"The Indian population is over 108,000 end the Indians are more than holding their own in point 0f ‘numbers. Among the less civilized groups, the high birth-rate balanc- es 9 high death-rate: but in the civilized tribes. who hlve Wlthllwfi the firstahock of contact, with t-"lvl- nntisnrtiiei-e is an warwable gain. not only ‘h numbers. bill'- l3 physical standards.

" The Double Shuffle

The Dunning budget is appropri- ately described by a. contemporary as a two-ringed performance-one ring devoted to free trade and the other to protection-with the acrobatic Min- ister of Finance performing simul- taneously and blandly in both. If he were to get away with any such dou- ble shuffle he would rank as a mast- rr magician, but I: E55: 15H‘!!- pect. of him being able to make the grade. Nothing could have been more delightful than the casual mariner in which he forswore his Cobdenite tenets, offered to defend the steel in- ldustry, heaped Great Britain with l embarrassing donations of new pref- erences (many of them on articles which she can never send us), brought down two different tariffs on fruit and vegetables, ruled hut New Zealand butter, and amended his amended schedules in response to protests from the House and the country. It was a performance which ivlr. A. E. MacLean, in accepting the Liberal nomination for Prince on Wednesday afternoon referred to with great appreciation, Mrx-Macbean ne- glected to tell the convention that for

the first time in history the budget bnozitainecl m proper estimate of in- come and expenditure for the cur- rent, fiscal year, that it was, in eflect, a repudiation of the tariff policies so beligerently defended by his party press in this Province during the past eight years, and that, according to the same authority, the King Gov- ernment, for permitting itself to be "led to the penltent bench" was in- evitably doomed to defeat.

While life insurance sales have fal- len off somewhat in the first four month: cf this year, es cremttarcd with the corresponding period of last year, it will surprise most people to learn that two hundred million dol- lars‘ worth of new business was written or at the rate of more than six hundred million dollars a year.

A plan is under way to bring about 1.000 British schoolboys to Canada in the summer of 1931 to tour the Dominion. Ottawa, which will be visited by the boys, has been asked to entertain them when they arrive here on the course of their tour. It is the intention during the same period to charter a ship and take the same number of Canadian boys on a tour of the Motherland.

The most dangerous thing about carbon monoxide gas is its insidious effect. Most of us imagine that. if unable to smell it we would be able to detect its presence instantly if it began to have lan effect. This is where the fatal error is made. You wouldnt know anything about it un- til you looked back surprised from another and better world.

Once again good will among the people of the world has found expres- sion through sports. The famous cricketing Indian Prince, K. S. Ran- jltsirihji who was educated at Cam- bridge University, has directed his_ bankers to remit $5,000 which he de- scribes as a. "subscription for 1930" to a Sussex County cricket club in Eng- land. It certainly takes more than a political crisis in India to interfere with sports international friendship.

\Vhen the word Liberalism was used by a speaker in Parliament not long ago. Miss Agnes McPhail inter-V lfliled "There is no such thing in Canada." Miss McPhall has repeated this expression of opinion to he.- Qwn CCHSl-illlflnts. and in speaking of Mr. Dunning confessed to some sympathy I: n...‘- vEeQYF-e Pm‘ I-rdé Q0 get up and SKY things which he does not believe."

India is not the only nation of the far east to be tom by internal strife. The great Chinese republic with its teeming population of 400,000,000 is experiencing the usual seasonal out- burst of civil war. The present, con. flict ls the ninth rebellion against the Nanklng Government of Chang Fai Shek within less than two years, and seems to be one of the worst. Besides the Government at Nanking, there are so-called administrations set up-at Peking in Manchuria in the Canton region and in the great wes- tern province of Szechuen, each dis- trustful of all the others. In spite of these many authorities, banditry is rampant, wholesale massacres are frequently reported, and there are little or no provisions made against theprovlnce-wide famines which are an annual event in China.

A certain protagsnist of the Hud- son Bay route, says the Halifax Her- ald, has discovered a new “advant- age," enjoyed by Churchill. It is near- er to Liverpool than other Canadian ports.

The gentleman is long on enthus- iasm but. short on geography. He will find, if he cares to investigate a little more thoroughly, that Halifax has between 400 and 500 miles on church- hill in that regard.

In this case. as in all others, propa- danda is u. poor substitute for facts.

"Premier King rode into office in 1826," says an exchange, "on a ‘con- stitutional issue‘ of his own crea- tion. In i930 he will ride out of of- flce on the same kind of issue also of his own creation."

A speaker at a meeting in Sydney the other night remarked: That it was safer to work in the coal mllw! than drive on the roads these days. because of the reckless speeding of eutblsls. statistics, easily available confirm the truth of his statement.

‘That God is gentle to His guest,

Perhaps you have met one of these raw food enthusiasts.

He ls able, so able to prove by fl-I gures, statistics, calories, vitamins”! minerals, salts, proteins, starches, fats i e- torui. we: b: i: use, eater‘ you begin to wonder if there isn't scmething in this raw food diet,

-Now there isn't. any question but that without the use of cooked foodsl it would be ‘possible’ for you to get.’ an all round diet that would keep: your body in good condition, provid-i lng of course ‘there are sufficient oil,‘ fat, sugar containing fruits, and ‘your’ , digestive tract has the capacity to ad- . apt itself to such a great change in your diet.

The argument that raw foods con- tain more vitamins, and minerals is absolutely true, and cannot be disre- garded, because the cooking pIOCGS does deprive vegetables and other foods of some of their mineral salts and vitamins. And yet does the nation as a whole really suffer from any deficiency diseases because of cooked foods?

No.

Even if these foods do lose s. per- centage. even as high as 50 percent of their vitamins and salts during cooking, there still seems to be ample for our needs. ‘

Besides most raw foods-vegetables an; fruits-are deficient in proteins. the body building food, and it would mean the eating of peas or beans, everyday to keep up this part of the: diet.

One of the advantages oi raw foods with some individuals is their rough- age-rcugliness of the fibres of the food-which by irritating the lining wall of the intestine ‘tends to keep it active and so prevents constrlpation. Sometimes however this moves along so fast that food substances do not get a chance to be absorbed into the blcod.

0n the other, liandwith the ma- jority of people there is more intest- inal disturbance-gas-than with cook- ed foods. , ~-~,

Further just how clean-free from every impurity, insects or the e885. of insects-raw fruit can be made is just a. question; certainly not as clean as cooked foods.

Prof. H. Straus, Berlin. after an ex- tensive study of this whole question. says ‘The final conclusion is that s. medical approval of exclusive raw miit diet for the general purpose 01 the body is impossible; although there i5 no question that. the general diet of the people should comprise- more fruits, vegetables and 501855. lmd products.‘

Raw foods are to be recommended then, only as forming a. certain part of a mixed diet.

ONE DBPAETED

I think the gentle soul of him

Goes softly in some garden place,

With the old smile Time may not dim Upon “his face.

He who was lover of the Spring, With love that never quite forgets Surely sees roses blossoming

And violets.

Now that his day of toil is through

I love to think he sits at case

With some old volume that he knew Upon his knees.

Watching perhaps with quiet eyes

The white clouds’ drifting argosy,

In twilight opening flowerwise On land and sea.

He who so loved companionship

I may not think walks quite alone,

Failing some friendly hand to slip Within his own.

Those whom he loved aforetime. ltill

I doubt not bear him company.

Yea, even laughter yet may thrill Where he may be.

A thought, a fancy, who may tell?

Yet I who ever pray it so

Feel through my tears that all is well. And this I know

And therefore may I gladly say: Surely the things he loved so well Are his to-day. —Contributed.

One lovesi 1 to dwell on their uridaunted courage and faith, their trust in God, their laborious toil, and their Joys and sorrows, for although we are apt to think of those early pioneers as a isgople chive-ant from ourselves, so far removed do they seem from us. yet we l‘.li‘.*t iziisniber that they were even as ourselves, with some- times much Joy in their lives and al- so inuch grief, as is the experience of every mortal in every age. ‘Tradition has fortunately lifted the veil in part and enabled us to catch many glimpses of the inner, more, intimate, life of the men arid women who have indelibly left their foot prints in the making and history of our fair Prince Edward Island home. As I write I have in mind the life story of two lovers, Duncan Robert- ;on and Elspeth Stewart, who with their familia formed part of the colony of Scottish emigrants. Els- peth was then a sweet, shy girlie just budding into womanhood, and although she had wept bitterly when leaving her native heather, she, like the rest of the emigrants, speedily azid happily adapted herself to the new life and changed conditions, herd and trying as they were, and as the months went by Elspeth Stewart fulfilling the promise of her girlhood, blossomed into the fairest, bonniest lassle one could wish to see. The military men from the gar- rison who periodically visited the settlement were not slow to note the charm of the Scottish lass, but neith- er to them, nor toiher own Highland laddies would she tum a. listening ear, and she was thought to be a cold and ‘heartless lass, but truth to tell Elspeths heart had already gone out of her keeping. and she carried a secret securely hidden in her bos- om, in that long before she had en- shrined in her heart the image of Duncan Robertson, and she knew that no other man would ever take! his place.
