it is simply an inflammation of one of the salivary glands~the glands that manufacture the saliva in the mouth.

The strange thing about it ls that it does not seem to interfere with the saliva in any way, no change in its composition.

You remember what the youngst- er looks like with a well develop- ed case of mumps. There is ' a swelling of the neck just below the ear, which actually lifts the lobe of the ear out of its place.

Ill fact it is the dispacenzeut of the lobe of the ear upward and out- ward thnt is one of the sure signs of mumps. The lobe stands at such a distance outward that it is plainly noticeable.

Sometimes the swelling extends beyond the region beneath the ear right over to the entire cheek, over to the eye, or even down into the neck to the collar bone. Another peculiar thing about the swelling is, that although it stretches the skin until it is shiny, the skin never becomes red as it does in other swelllngs. Sometimes there is no worth speaking about. but times, especially in adults. the pain is severe, and the act of chewing or swallowing greatly in? creases the pain.

There is of course some tempera- ture, but only for two or

lays acting uponsiffor weeks. What is with us a matter of weeks occupies but a few days in Eng- land. The Mother of Parliaments has a high standard in’sucb affairs o! state and a defeated Govern- ment stays not on the order of its going out.

A similar move, as our readers know, is in Progress in this province and is being pro secuted with vigor and most en- couraging enthusiasm. Theone thing still needed is enthusiasm and era-operation on the part of obl- whole population. _ it should be borne in mind that he tourist business is not for one section of the province alone, it is for every community, for every in- dividual in fact, as every dollar that comes to the province from outside is so much added to the money in circulation.

CANADIAN TAXATION

Enquiry prompted by the report issued by the U. S. census depart- ment to the effect that the our cap- ita taxation over there for federal state and municipal purposes ‘is 868.37, leads to the conclusion says the Financial Post that in the cit- ies at least of Canada, taxation ‘is one-third higher. Across the line the 868.37 is made up as follows: federal, $29.47; state and ‘municip- al, 83830. These were the figures for 1922.

As the federal revenue collec- tions in 1922-23 in Canada were ap- proximately $356,000,000, the per capita federal taxation worked out at about 844, or fully 33 per cent. higher than in the United States. To be exact, the percent- age was higher than that, for even with this rate Canada did not bal- ance her budget by over $31,000,000 nor did she make provision for the retiring of the war debt. Th; Un- ited States federal tax 0f about I30 per bead provided a surplus of rhughly $000,000,000 and ‘a sinking fond much larger even. ' The latest Bureau oflfltatistics figures for provincial expenditure are for 192i, and they warrant the conclusion that the per capita tax- ation under this heed is about 813, The lave-tissues leads to the coaelurion that for federal, Vpro vlncisl and municipal purposes‘ the taaation for every man, woman and child in Canada works out at "I"! 8100 per annual. For s man and wife and three children this year $500 a year.

Mr. Fielding was always opposed to it as involving a large and growing expenditure and in- evitable irritation instead of co- operation with their Moth- er Country. But Mr. Fielding is still laid up, although reported to be preparing his budget, which in- dicates progress toward recovery. The Premier's statement will, how- ever, he generally taken to mean the exact opposite of Mr. Graham's and that no appointment will be made at least until after the coming session 0f Parliament.

In Canada It is both assorted and denied that the exodus of Canadians to the United Btates la still going on at full tide. The Canadian official statements show the number of arrivals in Canada from the States but not the numb- Brvflaparting from this country. The Washington returns show the number arriving in the Btates from Canada. Thsjromuis Mail and Empire publishes " ja" statement which shows the movement both wm month by mouthlfor the seven tho tit, April to October inclusive ill he years m1 and 102s re- spectively.

Lloyd's Will Build Home 0i Its Own

Mariue in- surance in England is more than three centuries old, and for con- siderably ore than two centuries it has bee conducted chiefly by members of Lloyd's. Bchre the seventeenth century the business was mainly done by the Lomllartls and the merchants of the [louse-a- tic League, but with the great tie- velopment of British shipping there came a corresponding development of the idea of insurance and the business tended to fall into the hands of the British people. To get marine insurance in the early days was a complicated and diff: cult matter. There were no insur- ance companies, no man or firm that would insure a vessel or the owner of a cargo against loss. When a merchant was sending a consignment of goods on a sea voy- age his custom was to send one of his clerks around the city solicit- ing men with money and trying it) get each, for a premium, to be res- ponsible for a certain percentage of damage or loss,
