; . QUISTIONABLI PUBLICITY

It is always a pleasure to welcome wlsitors to Prince Edward Island, whether they come as organized parties or as individuals. Yesterday we had over a score of our neigh- bors from Nova. Bcotia; we played golf with them and enjoyed both their company and their playins- 0i course, we let them beat us, which is in accordance with the strict tenets of hospitality. Last night we danced with them at Beach Grove Inn, which also was a pleasure. It k well to encourage neighborly vis- itations and we trust that there will be more frequent interchanges \of this kind in future.

Such friendly intercourse is not likely to be stimulated by the method adopted by The Headlight. official organ of the Nova Scotla Motor League, in its issuo or August 1st. which discourages motorists from visiting the neighboring provinces of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. In a critical note on the pondition of Prince Edward Island )oads, the editor of this publication advises that a motor visit here would bot be "worth the strain on time )nd patience." Curiously, he insists that New Brunswickers also are jald to be obliged to come to Nova Jcotia for‘ comfortable driving con- ditions. How this will strike New Brunswick motorists we do not know. While we cannot boast of the condition oi our own roads during the past seasom-while we are free to admit that the present Govern- ment has woefully mismanaged the ‘ highways problem and has left the roads in a condition which in some cases has been nothing short oi dis- graceful-yet we cannot agree with the editor of “The Headlight." that a trip to Prince Edward Island at this season of the year, despite the roads and the somewhat tedious crossing to Borden. is "not worth the strain on time and patience." Neither can we help seeing in his criticism something other than a laudable motive to impart useful in- formation, Many enthusiastic visitors are here today to dispute his state- ment. They some every year, and they have come with their cars this- year in increasing numbers.

It is a good thing to boost the Advantages of one's own Province, but the boosting which consists in knocking the other fellow has long gene out of date in salesmanship oi any kind. Nova Scotia is a fine Province. some oi its roads are re- ported to be very fine roads. Never- theless, Nova Scotia had twenty-eight highway fatalities to date this year, and The Headlight editor admits that in view of the number of dan- gerous grade crossings "the won-

iler is, not that there are so many accidents, but that thene are so

few." Prince Edward Island had no automobile fatalities this year. We would be loath to make this comparison to our visiting motorists as a reason for avoiding Nova Scotia; yet safety on the roads is surely as Important as comfort and conven- knee, and the argument would be an valid as the reasons put forward by "rho Headlight" editor for m. W! this Province the go-by.

"B. 111N111‘! AWAY.

Bennett cited the fact that Canada spent $500,000,000 in the last. year alone in the purchase of goods intbe United States which should have been spent in Canada. “If I were in power," Mr. Bennett stated emphati- cally, "I would enact llwh 10W! l! would give to Canadians-our bu?! and glrls,—g chance for self-expres- sion and the development of their genius in Canada so that they would not have to leave Canada to find work." u

This ls not the haphazard opin- ion of a political campaigner. It is the studied conviction of a busi- ness man, in fact, oi every business man in Canada. If we continue buy- ing from the United States commo- dities which we should produce for ourselves, we can never hope to at- tain to the status oi even a self re- specting country. The policy of the United States, as hu been clearly de- monstrated in its recent tariff pro- posals, ispto sell as much and buy as little on this side of the line as pos- sible. Mr. Bennett's frank declara- tion of policy on the question of our tarifl arrangements is in striking contrast with the evasive and un- satisfactory policy of “watchful walt- ing" which has characterised the King Government's administration, and which is costing Canada so much in wealth and population.

BALDWIN 0N LIBBAIIIB

Rt. I-Ion. Stanley lpaldwin in“ a delightful talk on books at the re- cent opening of Gray's Inn Library extension, voiced objections to Qie putting oi “questions" ‘with respect to the kind of books one should read.

"There are no greater bores in . the world,“ he declared; "than those who ask: ‘What is the best book you have read lately?’ and ‘What book has helped you mostT-to which I always want to answer as the man did who said: ‘The book that helped me most has not F89 been written.’ Or again, the bores of the last generation who were al- ways compiling lists of the best . 100 books, or the best 50, or the best 25 books. or “what I would like to be left with on a desert island." I remember the oddest collection of famous books ever made was made by Diderot who once said if he had to have only three books he would choose Moses and Homer and Richardson. That gives him i! select choice of feminine society on his desert island-Clarissa, Nausi- caa, and Potipharb wile. But, as you know as well as I do, there are libraries and libraries and if I may take an example of one which contains nearly everything that makes a library impossible from my point of view, I would like to say a wordabout the library at the House of Commons. It is full of what Lamb would call "biblia ablbiia." ‘There are rooms full of books, none of which I should ever look at if I were alone with them on a desert island for the rest of my life. Going through-ii you are in search of anything you want- anything that your spirit needs- is like going into a cellar of which the owner has boasted to you, and . you find it contains nothing but saline draught-s instead of the choice products of. vineyards whose names are like music in the ear."

Mr, Baldwin's own idea of a. lib- rary was one inscribed with the in- scriptlon chosen by a Junior naval officer for his destroyer-Wilt veniant ommesfl-“Let 'em all come." IAI- ter all, he maintained, the real use of a library was its variety.

An outstanding feature oi agricul- ture development in Canada has

been the prowess made in recent

years in egg and poultry production, all provinces without exception shar- ing substantially in the advance. Be- tween 1923 arid i920 revenue from this source in the Dominion went up '11 per cent. Especially aigniflcantis the progress made in Western Cau- ada, where poultry raising has been made a profitable phase of general farm activity, the territory's revenue from this source rising from $20,109,- 000 in 1023 to $88,100,000 in 1928. In British Columbia poultry and eggs now account for greater returns than fruits and vegetables. ranking after field crops among the province's items of agricultural revenue,

Tho aggregate and the per capita- consumption of eggs and poultry in Canada is very large, and is increas- ing. In 1925 the aggregate consump- tion of eggs was 296,061,358 dozen. compared with 252,038,908 dozen in 1925, and the consumption of fowl had increased proportionately. Can- ada still imports more eggs than are exported, the imports coming largely from the United Kingdom and China. There is yet room for expansion of production in this country, ncwthat something like an egg famine has been reported in the larger Canadian cities. The average Canadian eats more eggs than the average citizen of any other country in the world.

Bplameslflliarfovhfldljg’ ‘ xaarmo YOUNG '

It is the desire of moat of the human race to try and keep young. Even if folks can't keep young they like to "look" young, anyway. '

Therefore many men and women are undergoingr operations to "lift" the skin oi the face, to have wrinkles removed, and are taking drugs to make the eyrs luminous, the skin soft and clear, and the figure more slender and youthful.

Now what keeps you alive?

Two things.

The first is food. livery tissue in your body needs food brought to it by the blood. This food enables each cell to do its particular work in your body, whether it is muscle, nerve, bone, fibrous, or other cell.

As it uses the food chemical action takes piece creating heat. for, the body which is absolutely essential to life. Food then must be eaten to sus- tain life.

However when the cell does its work there is a waste or poison that is created from that work.

‘This must be removed from the body, if the body ia to do its work properly,

1.1m will hot go on without food, but it will go on even if these pois- onous wastes are not completely re- moved.

That isyou can live for a long time even with a certain amount of waste matter in the tissues oi the body.

Perhaps a better word would be “exist" rather than live.

You will remember that Dr. Alexis Carrel has been keepi-oz cells alive for a number of years by giving them nourishment and then washing out any accumulated poisons remaining inthecellsfromtheuseofthefood by the cells.

In other words then, to keep the cells alive and in good condition he finds it just-as necessary to wash them out as to nourish ‘them with food.

And that is the idea our research men now have about ‘this matter of getting old.

If instead of undergoing operations, and taking drugs, thought is given to the diet, a well mixed diet euflicient to your needs, no more, no less, and by the use of these foods and daily exercise-ifonly ior ten or fiftoen fininutes-the wastes are washed away from the tissues then you will keen young longer than by BflYl-mflcm methods._

FOREST FIRES IN CANADA

Q. To what extent does Canada suffer from forest fires?

A. While Canada's forest fire situ- ation improved in 1928 over I927, yet the number was ielatively high, viz. Q59, burning over an area of 1,347,000 acres. The estimated total gross damage and loss ran about a dollar an acre, or 01.820900. It coat over $200,000 in conducting the fire fighting so that the saving was much _ ‘ than the cost.

The rock which seems most likely eventually to wreck the Crusaders’ particular plans for a free tradeflbnpirve is one that bars the passage of tariffs upon foreign food- stuffs imported into Britain. On this point the Times pertiently recalls that the British electorate "have re- peatedly shown that they would never consent to tariffs upon foodstufls originating outside the Empire." Less than sixtyyears ago, when the Bald- ‘ win Government appealed to the elec. torate for a mandate for tarifl re- form, the Conservatives were de- feated by the ghost of a possibility oi food atxes and dearer bread.
