A Front‘ Of Brass

(‘ii July. 10, 1935, our local contemporary came out with the solemn editorial assurance that the I.il)(-rals, if elected in the provincial campaign, would achieve a balanced budget It - ~ ~ . _ without a.d(lltl0ll£ll taxes, without a cutting of salaries. without even a serious curtailment of any necessary service."

The ‘CAMPBELL Government has not yet b3_13‘“C€d IY5_ budgctpbut it has already cut sal- aries, curtziiletl necessary public services, and imposed additional taxation both by legislative enactment and by order-in-council.

And now our contempora has the audac- ' . k f u - - - ., . xty to as or specific instances of Liberal promise hrgaking.

The, Vimy Pilgrimage

The French Government has named a "Cominittee of Honor,” including the President, the Premier and all his Cabinet, together with other notables, for the reception of the Can- adians who are to attend the Vimy Riﬂe mem- orial cerenionies on July 26. This pilgiiitiagc party will, it is now cstiiriated, consist of 6.000 persons drawn from all parts of the Dominion. The mcinorial monument, this country's tribute to the Czinadiaiis who fell in the Great \V:ir, will b(- unveiled by His Majesty King EDWARD. Three days later, on July 29, when the Canadian pilgrrins are en route for home, they will be entort.-iint-il at a reception as the King's guests in the gurdciis of lliickingham Palace. His l\[aj- esiy, who will be absent on a holiday in South- ern l7i'.'iiicc, will be represented at this function

Both rut France and Great Britain. this pilgrimage of "V .000 Canadians and the unveiling at Vimy will constitiite the most impressive series of events the peoplv of vithvr country will have witnessed 22- a memorial prograniinc since the close of the \-..i:'.

Our Liberal politicians are great econom bluffers.

Prime Minister KING now an- nounccs he will join his six colleagues in Europe in order to attend the League of Nations.

It is reported in London Court circles that King EDWARD will soon appoint Major the Hon. ALEXANDER HARDINGE, heir of Lord HARDING!-2 of Pcnliurst, former Viceroy of India, to the post of his Private Secretary. Major HARDINGF. would succeed Lord Wicimii, the present sec- retary who served in that capacity to the late King GEORGE. Major HARDINGE is the same age as King EDWARD and has served at Court since he was 26 years of age.

Notwithstanding anything that may be said to the contrary, the whole duty of man is to serve his day and generation, honorably and faithfully. to the best of his ability and with the means and resources at his command. This may have been in the mind of the late King GEOR(‘.F., when, as an ofﬁcer of H. M. S. Thrush in 189i he wrote the following in the family Bible of a man with whom he became friendly: “The secret of life is not to do what one likes, but to try to like what one has to do." It is a ﬁne motto, worthy of him who bccaine GEORGE the Beloved.

From the press summary of a “blue-bo;k" issued by the British prison aiithorities. we learn that Britain's prison population has dc- cllned sharply. and flint the num- ber of local prisons has been re- duced by more than half. since 1910. In that earlier year the an- nual prison population reached 188.395 ;the latest available figures place it. at 56.425. The daily aver- age of prison p:pulution has been cut from 20.828 in 1910 to 12.238 now.

MOST CASES OF RINGWOBM OF THE FEET (‘AN BE CURED BY SULPHUR. AND SALICYLIC ACID OINTMENTS

While rlrigworm of the feet. has apparently always been a smlrce 01 annoyance to a certain percenmze of people there is no Question “"5 that it is more common to—day than ever before.

About three years ago D11. E. D- osborne, E. D. Putnam and R. J. Rlckloff, Buffalo, recorded their great. success in treating ringworm of the feet, with a 1 per cent solu- tion of sodium hypochloribe. The Lndlvlduals walk through rubber pans filled with this solution or through wells built in the floor for this purpose. The number of cases of ringworm in the Buffalo high schools has dropped over 50 per cent by this method.

These physicians recommend that after the acute stage of the erup- tion hcs passed the use of 9. 2 per cent; sulphur precipitate ointment or a 3 per cent salicylic acid ointment be used at night: two or three Limos a week. coublned with the use dur- ing the day of B dusting powder containing 30 per cent. tnnnlc >-.c‘.d and 30 per cent borlc acid. The feet should be carefully washed and dried each day before applying the powder.

some skin specialists record excel- lent results with a single treatment. by Xrays and others find that a lialf dozen treaf.me1‘.t's are necessary to clear up some cases.

They should be wrap- ped up tightly in paper, left for at. lmst twenty-four hours. and then aired thoroughly worn." Fortunately although ringworm of the feet is very common. it is not severe enough to require any treat- ment in most casos. Even the sev- ere cases can generally be cured by the use of the 2 per cent sulphur precipitate or the 3 per cent snllcy. llc meld olntments applied every night or every second night,

NATIONAL PANIC SITE

Sii'.~Wltl1ln five miles of Chin'- lottetown lies one of the best. nutur. at locations that can be found on Prince Edward Island for a National Park. It is centrally located near the capital with a paved highway more than half the distance. The fact that it can be reached wlthout. any extra cost, by all coming to the City as well as those living in ll. would make for the benefit. and pleasure of all, and even those who cannot afford cars could eaiiuy visit it

Tllla location would require vezy little cost. as ‘.1. is well wooded and has a. never falling stream of piira, clear water, whose source is in the hills north of it. This creek could be dammed suitable for trout, rats- lng and fishing, while on tho shaics of the boy are found all klnds of shell fish, and. In deep water in their season, herring, codflah and mackerel can be obtained. The beaches afford the safest and scat. bathing focllltles that can be found anywhere. Canoelng and .11 wgm sports could be partlclpoted in with safety.

The history of the corps compos- ing the pmsent military force of Prince Ddwud Island. dates back, in the can of string of the com- panles, many years prior to confed- oration.

About forty years ago it wave of patriotic feeling seemed to pass over our province. and in all the leading towns and villages volun- teer companies were organized and equipped. so great was the inter- at taken that the officers and men provided their own ‘uniform, and had to provide armourles, fuel, light, ot.c., and can for arms and aooouf.iemenla-oer-vloeg which on now psid for by the Militia De- portment.

Many readers can remit the fine stalwart, soldlerly body of men who composed these companies. They were dressed in scarlet, blue. gnyorgreen.ast.hot.ast,eoft.he majority of the company dictated, in there were no dress regulations in those days. I

‘ma companies were generalxy named from the locality, as Brown's Greek Company, and sometimes they took the name of some prom- lnerit. personage as Little York or Oolonel Gray's Company, the Prince of Wales Company, the Dundu Company, in which. as a lad of sixteen. the writer received his first lesson in military drill under the late Colonel. (then Captain Henry Beer.) and a. com- pany "All dressed in green to serve their Queen, the Irish volunteers." What. recollections are stirred in we recall the old drill instructors- Cropley, O'Brien, Campbell, Gart- mlll. and many oi.hers.——-men who did their country good service but were too quickly forgotten.

At confederation the military re- sources of the Province were trans- ferred to the Domlnlon of Canada. and the isolated companies wen drawn together into Battalions. of which there were three. vlz.. one in each county. In 1875 the ad Bat.- talton was organized. At. first it comprised the companies in Queens

County. but after I Mine the two companies remaining in Prince Company wen attached to the Battalion. which was at thnt. than

under command of Llout. Ooland Honornible Henry Beer. The Charlottetown ltznglneer

Company was organized in 1778 un- der the oommuiil of Major George L. Dogherty.
