suffered a loss of $16,752,948 lsix per cent) in gross revenue because of, as Sir Henry Thornton says, "the de- crease in revenue from grain ship- ments and thc non-operation of har- vester-excursions.“ Losses suffered by the Canadian Pacific Railway were on a proportionate scale. Such loss- es meant that large economics had to be effected in operating expenses, and consequently considerable unem- ployment ensued.

Chief Justice Mulock recently made the very significant remark that the majesty of the law is the supreme dominant fllflhflfity. Without the law there is no security for life or prop- erty.

"In an accident near St. Thomas," sayis an exchange, "an automobile hit a horse and buggy and a prosc- cution may rcsult. But. the charge may be laid against the owner of the buggy, for failing to carry a light. Any vehicle on the highway at night. without a light is dangerous both for the occupants of the vehicle and others who happen to be using the highway.

Says an exchange. "whether or not one has a special interest in nat- ural history and thc wild life of Can- ada, it ls an amazing and memorable experience to see the grand army of wild geese that halt in Manitoba in their northward migration. Such a sight was to be seen a few days ago, just beyond Rosser, the geese exe- cuting their strange and interesting manoeuvers in the air and then set- tling down in vast, numbers upon the lake. To thc old timers and to those who have travelled much about thc prairies and the north country this may be a funilinr sight, but to people from the city vgho witness it. for the first time, it is exceedingly impres- sivc."

"General elections which will be held in this province and Dominion this summer,“ says the Moncton Transcript. "are expected to bc warmly contested, but cvcn at their most/exciting stages they Will M! b‘! able to rival the campaign now in progress in the Dominican Republic. Thbro opposition candidates declare that they dare not risk their iivcs campaigning ln the interior."

It has frequently been stated, that. in scientific discovery had a vcry rough road to travcl, that, as a rule hc died forgotten and that he was honored only when lt was too late for him to know any- thing about it.

Occasionally, as in the case of the lntc Lord Lister, thc man with a new idea fights his way through and wins recognition. This, howcvcr was not achieved by an earlier physician. Henry Hill Hickman, who first dem- ihat certain gases could hi‘ used tn produce anaesthesia and cleaden the pain of operations.

Some time ago, many people on both sides of the Atlantic were say- ing that war between thc United States and Great Britain was un- thinkable, which shows that they were thinking about it. Something had to be done quickly, ncthe posi- tion would have gone from bad to worse. Today the nightmare has cndcd. Anglo-American relations have become genuinely cordial, and the foundations of a permanent friendship seem to have been well and truly laid.

“We cannot even If we would,“ says thc New Statesman, Ixmdon. England, “dissociate ourselves from European affairs. We arc, whether we like it or not, in Europe, politi- cally and economically. We arc a Mediterranean Power. war in the Mediterranean would affect us little less vitally than war in thc Channel. Indeed, any big Continental war would inevitably involve us. . . . The ldco. that. safety is to be found in an Anglo-Saxon bloc—a. dupli- cated nationalism to promote inter- nationalis-m—ls preposterous. Friend- ship with Amcrica. is nll to the good.

The proposed inter "l" mull across Nlcaralrua to supplement ti" Panama. Canal is a far oldcr pro- ject than most. Americans believe, according to Captain William Kllmcr. nrmy engineer. The first proposal for such a. canal was made by Antonia Galvao, a Portuguese in 1550. ‘The Nicaragua route was actually survey- ed in 1850 by Orville W. Chllds, n New York engineer, when thc first Commodore Vanderbilt proposed cut- ting n. canal through as a private project. Vanderbilt actually did make use of thc San Juan River and Lake Nicaragua in conveying gold hunters from California during that period, laying the foundation of his fortune with a steamboat line that followed the river to a point only '12 miles from the Pacific, where his passen- gers were transferred t/a stlfle coaches until they reached the 0th" ocean.

comucrmo YOUR sromcn mounts.

Perhaps your stomach bothers you considerably and you wonder if there is anything really wrong.

If you are of middle age or over, your doctor will tell you that the su- fest thing to d0 is to have a thorough examination, including the X ray, as cancer often comes on without giving many symptoms.

If your distress comes on two or three hourse after a. meal and con-i tinues until you eat. some food, which eases the pain for mother two or three b01111. you may have an ulcer. Perhaps you have been thoroughly examined, no cancer, no ulcer and yet you have consideralbe distress and gas formation. The liver ls working right and also the gall bladder, es shown by the dye or other tests.

What may be the trouble?

The very fact that you are worry- ing about condition may be partly the cause. as an emotion like worry can interfere with the movement of the stomach and the food thus remain in the stomach too long.

It, may be that. you have a slow emptying stomach and attempt to cot e. meal before the previous one has completely left the stomach.

It may be that you have a slow act- ing large intestine, and instead of the muscular movement being downwards they reverse and come upwards, giv- ing you a sick feclin! in i119 Iwmich- Now as-there is no organic trouble. you may have to take your case into your own hands and use a. little com- mon sense in the matter.

When the last field is reaped and the last harvest stored.

When the last fire is out and the last guest departed,

Grunt the last prayer that I shall prey, Be good t0 me, O Lorri!

RED CROSS ACTIVITIES

Sin-The P. E. Island Division of the Canadian Red Cross Society is able to submit to the public a re- cord of achievement and a program- me of humanitarian effort which cannot fiiil to elicit the admiration and enthusiastic approval of every. u-ell-wlsher of our people who will“ give it consideration. ,‘

For many years the Society has] been carrying on a school health in- spcctlon scrvlce. This has led to thc j discovery, treatment and removal of i physical defects in large numbers of children, and their rescue from im- , paired usefulness, suffering and prc- ‘ mature death. The work of the Red 3 Cross in conducting clinics for tuber- culous paticnts, and its magnificent! service for crippled children, are well i known. Home visltatlons, lectures in health education, Junior Red Cross promotions and many other activities l have marked the operation of this‘ society for many years. Last Scp-‘ tember, when several cases of incipi- ent infantile paralysis occurred, and none of the scrum for preventing dc- velopmcnt of the paralysis could be i obtained, the Red Cross found a woy , out of this difficulty. By enlisting the , help of those who had suffered in‘, a fonner epidlmic, it was found poss- I ible to make serum from their blood and save at. least two children from being crippled for_ life. During thc‘ year 1929, an intensive campaign of ‘ vaccination was carried ' on in the schools and 6217 children were given this preventive treatment against smallpox.

At present, all the routine activi- ties of the Society are being carried on energetically as heretofore, and in addition the greatest measure of disease prevention ever undertaken in the Province "ls in preparation. This ls I. diphtheria immunization campaign, which the Red Cross plans to carry to completion in I930, whereby treatment rendering a per- son permanently immune from thc dreaded scourge of diphtheria will be brought within reach of every child between the ages of nine months and i4 years in Prince Edward Island. With such n record and such a pro- gramme the Red Cross appeals to the people of our Province w unite with the Society in membership and con- tribute to its financial support. The annual drive for this purpose is about to be undertaken. The Red Cross relies with confidence upon the gen- erosity and humanitarian sentiment. of our people.
