This our contemporary ldmilted when it complained, only recently, that it was "sick" of the plaudits which were being show- ered on thc Canadian Prime Min- lster and for that reason refused to publish the encomiums of Em- pire statesmen on Mr. Bennett's i flchievenl-snt.

The fact of this achievement our flbonteniporarys readers do not need ‘to take on the authority of The ‘Guardian. We rcfcr them to their

own leading party newspaper, the Toronto Globe. Our contemporary, ,ln its more effective days, used !requently' to derive political spiration from the Globe. Clippings horn the Globe enriched almost “daily its editorial page with in- Ionnativc facts and trcnchant argu. lmcnts. The Globe was by no means |always right in the inference it tdrew from thc facts which it dis- froln the

Island, smallest oi the Provinces. holds third place in the number of t; producers particpating in this co-operative enterprise.

In co-operative dairy activities Prince Edward Island has l4 as~

katchcwan leads Canada with n total membership of 39,398 in 4 hugc

ting members. Quebec has 2,030 members, Manitoba 6,836.- Alberta 8,749 and Britsh Columbia 5,459.

In the frut and vegetable branch Prince Edward Island has but one cooperative organization, namely, theyotatn Growers Association. Or- ganized in 1920 this association has s. membership of 2,200, as against a total membership in fruit and veg- etable organizations in New Bruns wick of 56, Nova Scotia 0i 1,731 (largely made up of apple growers) Quebec of 337, Ontario of 2,271, Manitoba of 1,000, Alberta of 32, and British Columbia of 5,035.

Prince Edward Islandis also well represented in marketing organiza- tions dealing with livestock, wool, grass seed, etc.

Altogether, an analyss of the figures shows that. this Province is

well in the lead in per capita pro- duction of finished agricultural

products. This is a fact of prime lmllortance in view of the trade preferences obtained in the Brtish market for such products as a re-

The London (‘nunty Council has had to postpone decision of till‘ Sunday movie question because of divergent views on the i mfltlfr. some citizens favor the closing of the theatres on the ground that they tend to keep children from Sunday Scllcol, while othes point out that if ths vicw prevails char ities in London alone will Buffet‘ to the extent of 150.000 pounds a year.

REMOVING A SWALLOWED OBJECT FROM THE STOMACH

One o1 the first thing a young- ster does when he picks up an! 0b-

out doing any harm.

Sometimes however the objects seem too large or are of such s. shape that they do not pass reed- lly out of the stomach. This has meant a surgical operation in a number of cases.

It is therefore interesting to hear

reports thc case of a child, 7 years of age, who accidentally swallowed

great deal of discomfort and pain. After passing through the tube through the throat to the stomach, into the stomach, the pain and dis- comfort disappeared.

As an x ray picture showed the coin in the stomach three days afzcrward, and then each day until ten days had passed, the doctor was undecided as to the wisdom of removing it by surgery. The child had no symptoms, no distress or pain of any kind.

Dr. Sauer then consulted with the late Dr. Geo. W. Boot, who had on numerous occasions removed ob- jccts from the windpipe, the bron- chial tubes and the lungs of child- F011.

Ho said, “Have the child eat a good-sized bowl of mixed vegeta- bles-wabbage, greenbeans, and cei- cry. The vegetables should not. be

lowed without chewing if possible. Wash them down with a little water if necessary. Do not give any purga- tive medicine." .

His orders were carried out with- out delay. Within twelve hours after thc first bowlful of vegetables liad been eaten, thc coin was passed from the body. Seven other children have bcn treated by the same meth-

cooked soft and should“ be swal- '

You evidently knew nothing of the present or previous rates of tax on liquor or you wouldn't have represented me as making the ab- surd arld ridiculous remarks -re- ferred to.

What I- did say was that if the duties on hard liquor were reduced to about $4.00 a gallon, both smug- gling and bootlegging would die a natural" death and Prohibition would be enforced with good effect.

The illegal traffic by smuggling deprived of its sustaining profit would then _ipso facto fall to pieces. There are two distinct organiza- tions engaged ln the illegal traffic in intoxicating liquor. There is the smuggler with his steamers and there are the bootleggcrs who do the retailing. They could only

the County Court, I talked the mat- ter over with him along the lines

taxes on hard liquors were very materially reduced from the $10.00 a gallon rate to something about $4.00 a gallon. '

I understoodfrom what he said

that he agreed with me, I went so far as to suggest he should write the Prime Minister of Canada re-

commending the reduction, but whether‘ he did so or not I cannot say.

The taxes on hard liquors have been' ever since early in the war and up ‘to very lately, $10.00 a gal- lon, and no such a. rate as $4.00 a gallon existed since before the war.

As a newspaper claiming to in- form the publlc you should have known all this. If you did, and be- lieved I made the statement you have reported me as making, you would be only too anxious to show how little I knew ‘of the subject ~I was talking on. '

It is had enough to so report but worse to supply the Guardian's type_ set plate with the meeting so re- ported to the Patriotnewspaper so that the false statement should be published throughout the land’ in both papers. If the Patriot is wise it will hereafter ‘do its own re- porting. _ ‘
