Our Legislature is again taking on the seni- blatice o1 it democratic institution. Last night,

Prohibition Enforcement

Increased prosecutions and convictions under the Prohibition Act were cited by Premier Campbell in his budget speech as evidence that the Prohibition Act is being better enforced. The Premier may have forgotten that at the regular session of i935, when a corresponding increase in police activities was shown to have occurred under Conservative administration, as against the preceding Liberal record, he was the first to object to this method of comparison. "X0 doubt," he said "our honourable friends will quote figures of convictions and seizures by the R.C.'.\I.P. .~\s I explained last year, these figures can talk both ways. They may mean either that the law is being enforced, or that more liquor is being consumed." (Patriot, April 3, i935). He then proceeded to quote figures oi convictions for drunkenness in the town of flimmr-rsirle; for the Liberal period 1923-30 thc iiiitiilx-r \-.';t~ as against F35 for the Con~ ~.i“T\Zlli'.‘P zffflifll 1931-34. a- ev§riciicr~|mt of y striczc-r t'llfl'h'-.’:lfitl"lt —— but as ~howing tha" l drunkenness "was on the increase.

lt gives the Gllilfdlflfl considerable pleasure to realize that sortie of our Provincial men are zipprt-tiintrd on thc tiiziinland for the services they arc rcudcriiig in this Province. In one of thc columns of thc iVlaritimc Farmer of recent rlntc the following item appears: “We compli- mcnl thc fox experts referred to in thc above nrlirlr: on account of their ingenuity as judges of foxcs and fox furs, and their idea of pro- motional work in this Industry is not tmly zip- prccizttt-rl in their homo Province but also iii thc .\l.'tl‘iill‘|l(!

Manifold ways in which people fool them- selves about their health include trust in a specialist and distrust of the family physician, thc general practitioner, who frequently can be more valuable, Dr, C. Ward Crampton said at the seventeenth annual Women's Exposition of Arts and Industries, New York. Dr. Cramp- ton spoke as chainnan of the committee of pre- ventive medicine of the society, at a sectional meeting at Grand Central Palace. "Pain is not always what it seems because the cause of trott- blc is frequently somewhere else," he warned. "The man who tries to be his own doctor has": fool for a patient and a fool for a doctor. The cause must be searched for by an examination of the whole man. To persons of intelligence, the way to avoid trouble and to get the best out of life is to have an old-fashioned, up-to- date doctor wlio is your counselor and health confessor. He knows you best. He has re- cords of the years of your growing up and de- veloping. He knows your tendencies - ten- dencies of your family. He can send you to a specialist, if need be. Get your health examina- tion as a customary part of the continued care that gives longer life, but have a: your adviser
