This is the advice of leading doctors: “Discardmakeshift \ sanitary napkins- donh: risk good health.”

M ANY mental and physi-

cal’ troubles of women

may be traced to inadequate

sanitary protection. Peace-

- of mind, physical comfort,

can only come through using proper sanitary napkins.

Kotex is advised unanimously by modern doctors. It is most comfortable to wear, it ﬁts like a garment. Cellucotton absor- bent wadding is the perfect ab- sorbent for this purpose. And

f it deodorizes by a special process. K

Kotex is easy to adjust, t9 ﬁt individual needs. And easy to dispose of — follow direc- tions in each package. Get it without hesitancy at any drug, dry goods oi; departmental store.

said district, and the days upon which the teacher shall be required or permitted by law s. by the regula- tions of the said Board of Educa- tion to close the said school. 6'This agreement shall continue in effect for the school year, pro- vided either party thereto shall be at liberty w- determine the agree- ment by giving to the-other party. three months notice at anytime.

The terms of this agreement, as here set forth, and the obligations involved. are clear and indisputable, and it may well be asked, why" the teachers signed such an agreement, iffree to break it. at their own sweet will and pleasure.

How‘ many school boards have re- ceived the three months notice in writing as here provided for; antl- what would be the result if school boards attempted to summ ily end their enzogement with teachers, with out first complying with the require- ments of the law. Needless to say the attempt would place them in o very serious position, as they would speedily find to their cost. An agree- ment is binding on all parties _to,it;_ and in this case, as much so on the teachers, as on those who employ them. Whatever the merits of their case may be as embodied in their re- cent demands, the course adopted by the teachers in- thus summarily and without due legal notice breaking their contracts, -is to any the least. very ill advised. By this act they have put themselves clearly and unequi- vocally in the wrong’; and wiildoubt- less forfeit the sympathy of many who might otherwise be inclined to support their claims.

Public opinion has always been a powerful factor in determining such matters, but ithas never given- its sanction to ﬂagrant b ches of eon- tract, that violate the rules ‘of good faitln-an example of this is to be fpung in largo industrial establish- ments. wherework lapel-formed by union labor, and" thereto of wage! and the terms of employment.

Yhyme it was after the birds were roasted that they began to 5m; but the Saunders ﬁnanciers are singing in anticipation qr the mut- 1118. tolling time" by the forelock so to speak. They know it is coming lust as‘ surely as any guilty culprit KIIOWI that the law is on his track.

That is why there is no External Audit. Offenders are not prone to giving evidence against themselves and, per law. sometimes they are not compelled to. Therefore they say to the Legislature and to the peop1e,_

we give. the balance it is not "in the public interest," or the Govern- ment's interest to let you see.

And there sre reasons. About one million dollars of money have been borrowed under statutes which pro- vide that sinking funds for repay- ment shall be set aside out, 01 the Consolidated or ordinary revenues of the Province. In the statement of ordinary expenditure as published in the Patriot (I have not seen the official Blue Book) there is not one dollar charged up as having been set aside for this purpose. An external audit would tell Just how much this would add to_the_deflclt if it were included, as it should be, in the year's expenditure. This is exclusive of highway debt ‘which is provided for from motor vehicle revenues. '

1n other years it was the custom

of unpaid bills were carried over and how much of the liability b: the year was carried in government pig- ec-n-hole apartments. This the ex- ternal audit would reveah-but this year those r‘ eon-holes must not be disturbed, it is “not in the public interest." ‘

The accounts, as published, show less money expended in some de- partments than that voted in the "estimates. It looks fishy. For in- stance in "legislative grants," a re- duction is shown. Have the orphan- ages and charities in the generosity of their souls declined to accept the proffered gifts-or is it that they are carried over,. unpaid "

The same may. apply to Falcon- wood where $16,314 less was paid out than in 1927. Did the inmates eat less. were they fed on cheaper fond. were the salaries cut (unusual und- er Liberal patronage) or has butter declined in price under New Zsaiand influence? Or is the meat and but- ter and eggs and salaries in the list of unpaid accounts, kept in holy preservation from the ruthless searchings of an external audit?

Let us hope that the Opposition will be able to drag some of those hidden mysteries from their sombre places of hiding.

EXTERNAL AUDITS

the Saunders Government», out of the ﬁnancial ditch the Patriot discours- es on Auditors in general, and Ex- ternal Auditors in particular. It at- tempts to relate history, butcareful- ly avoiding details. It has overlook- ed the retroactive force of its own argument. 5 innocently it says,-"A Conserva- tive Government had been in power twelve years“ previously (to Mr. Fred Peiers) with an auditor under its own‘ contain]; in no respect respon- ulble‘ to anyone except the govtrn- ment. that appointed film."
