The ivhiskey is used chiefly for the sick and aged in city i-nstittitions, as prescribed by physicians. The city also purchases, in smaller quantity, sherry and port wines, used, among other things. for religious observance by inmates and patients of city institutions. The alcohol, since the city may htiy it exempt of Federal tax, costs only about 30 oerrls a gallon.

Itt is said Herr Hitler intrnrlitced a new word into the (ierman language, viz. “gleiclisclialtting" which means: to direct everything into the same channel; to switch into line; to govern accord- ing to a common philosophy. in the direction of a uniform policy. It- was the formula ivliere- by ;\I. Hitler. tipon coming into power. traits- forined a manifold and democratic state into a tot-al-itarizin and authoritative state. He did not abolish parliament. but by a series of measures theoretically possible inside the constitution to which he swore allegiance, he tii~rned it into a mere instrument for validating his decrees. He did not liquidate the various associations of em- ployers hc merely brought them info line with policy——as a condition of their continued exist- ence. l-le hardly disturbed the civil service in many branches of government. He merely changtvl its spirit. Ile did not destroy the church. He merely stiggcsteil a new interpreta- tion of Christianity. l-le did destroy the trade unions—-—bnt riot the principle of collective bar- gaining. And for that he set up new organiza- tions, of workers. in the Workers Front, under the direction and control of government. H6 did not abolish the courts - he merely packed them. at the top, and laid down the principles upon which they were to judge the law. In gpile of a profound revolution which changed the entire structure and aim ofGt-rinzm life, and which continues to affect the life of every in- dividual (‘ierman citizen, he hardly cliaiigctl an existing institution; he merely “switched them into line." And it is this policy President Roose-

volt is said to be carrying out in the U.S.A.

tuancnmc Tnonououur r01: THE cause or ASTHMA

In former days when a pﬂtlenli consulted a physician about nis at.- tactts of asthma he was given mem- cine lti some form——t;ab.ei.5. cﬂf-ISUIBS. liquids in little ampules which he was to break or crush 1n a hand- kerchief and apply c1056 L0 1115 nose-with ttie statement that asthma would never klll him and this medicine would relieve the at- tacks.

Tu-day 1t is known that asthma ls clue to various causes and when these causes are removed the at.- tucks will not. return. The difficulty of course is ‘tn ﬁnding the cause 1n many of the cases.

It has also been found that just. as hay fever and eczema patients are sensitive or allergic to cenam foods, fur and feathers. pollen of plants atitl other substances, so also are asthmatic sufferers. Likewise de- formities attd defects of the nose and tlu-oitt. seem to be the causa- tive factor in some cases of asthma. About ten years ago the Asthma Research Counci. was organized lu Great Britain for the purpose of promoting research in asthma and related ailments such as hay fever. “The Council cannot oﬂer ad- vice ot- treatment to individual suf- tererswho nuiitbert thousands in the London area alone, but. have clinics at. various hospitals where asthma. sufferers may obtain ad- vice, free 1f necessary. Last year at. the Asthma Research Clinic at Guy's Hospital, London, 610 new patients came to the clinic, and there were 6,053 attendances of old patients." The report. gives a. sim- ple but vivid picture of the thor- ough method of seeking the cause of asthma. in every case.

"All new patients are examined and investigated according to a unt- form system. Very careful records are made of the exact length of time the patient. has had asthma, of how often the attacks occur, the severity of the attacks, the length of time between the attacks, and whether or not the attacks some- timer. stop for any length of time."

The patients are then given ad- vice about their diet, occupation, habits and daily routine. They are advised how to avoid such sub- stances or factors which might ap- pear to be responsible for their symptoms; medilcnes and drugs which may help are prescribed, and they are then sent for a. course of breathing exercises which lasts two mouths or longer.

After this “tr!al" period, cases unimproved are sent on to gel: “speciﬁﬂ treatment-skin, food, and other tests. ~

This locks like a thorough even ff slmv method. but we must remem- ber that a former!" “incnrable" all- ment is being fought.

THE PICTOU-GEOBGETOWN BOUTE 1N 1901

Siig-Thla story ls about m ex- pérlence my wife and I had in Feb. 1907. We left Newcastle on our way to Charlottetown on Feb. 28th, reaching Pictou a few hours 1m for the S. S. Stanley. Next. day we heard the Stanley had gone on he: beam ends. Passengers were landed on Plctou Island. Of one party was the Jerry MoCaultfe Theatrical Co. After four days walling the Mlnto arrived, after picking up passengers off Pictou Island who were on that: way to Ptctou.

Next morning we left Pictou. we got. as far as Ptctou Island and had to plck up stranded passengers who were going to Charlottetown. We got; into an lce jam and were held for 12 days. We were 80 cabin pas- sengers and 52 steeratze. returning from the lumbe woods. We had as passengers the Hon. B. Rogers, at that time a member of our local assembly. He wired Ottawa and was told that all passengers would be fed free of charge. The names of some of the other passengers, as I recalled were Mr. Ings, McLean brothers of Wlltiihlie. a Mr. ThOmp. son, an old commercial man; Mr. Boctwln, on his way to Charlotte- town to do the tlllng on the new railway station; Mrs. Dr. Mont.- gomery Frftrs, Miss McGllllvray, a trained nurse from Boston retum- ‘lug to Vernon River. A distinguish- ed passenger was a. Mrs. Heartz, coming from Callfornla, who was very much wctive 1n making every- body feel at home. Another pas-

senger was Dr. Fumess returning from McGtl. I don't remember the others’ names as I am wrltfng H118 from memory. t

We spent our time playing, Bridge. reading. etc. We had tect- ures and a mock trlat at which a Mr. McFarlane was “trted" for stealing an imitation fur lined mat. g He was found guilty and sentenced to spend 12 clays on Plctou Island. We had a debate on Prohibition, Mr. Rogers supported the Pro slde. although I thtnk we were out. of the three mlle limit.

About. the 11th day Capt. F111. layson announced all that. were physically flt would have b0 leave the ship vla the Carrlbou Island route on foot, so we left, 00 of us, including nine women. We had one lce boat that contained Mr. Rogers, Dr. Fi-ltzs and our luggage. We reached our destination wtlhotit mishaps. We went by teams to Plctou where we we're on time for the short llne train for Stwkvllle, which we reached at 12 o'clock p. m. Through the influence of Mr. Rogers we got the train special for Tormenttue. We got there at 2 a. m. went to the hotel where we were Informed they had no room as even

sleepers. I asked the landlady for a bed. She said, “Look at. the floors." I pleaded that my friend Mr. Bowden and I hadn't. had a. night's sleep for 12 nights: we were pretty well used up. She took pity on us and gave us her own bed. My sleeping place had been under a dining room table, wlth my fur coat under my head.

Next morning we were called; at day-break as the teams were there to drive us to board ice for the tce boats. ‘There were rilne boats. In oitr boat we had at‘. our luggage and Mr. Rogers and Mrs. Mont- gomery Fritzs. We were all strap- ped to the boat on the outside. We had to haul them. Oh! such an ex- perlence. We r cached the Island about four o'clock. The trains were waiting for us. I got to Charlotte- town Friday nlizbt March 15th. 0n Sunday the Mfnto got clear and steamed into Charlottetown. My wife. havlng remained on boat, reached Charlottetown from New- castle, N. B.. after 17 days.

Sun-We all know our rural mall couriers are the poorest paid offic- lals of our Domlnlon government service, considering the work they are asked t0 P67101111-

We hear a lot about social Just- ice. Where does ft come ln with those men performing important duties over all klnds of roads ln all kinda of weather, and enduring at! kinds of hardships? The Poet- miister General has refused to put into effect. a system that would at least. give those employees a llvtng wage.

We see almost at! government employees get. a. raise in pay, only the ones that really need it. The cfvlo service employees have 80¢ their pay out back, although it did not, affect any employees under twelve hundred dollars. Our ritra! mall couriers are asked to drive long routes, ﬁnd all their equip- ment for about: one-third this amount. Where was our Ialimd members when the rural mail cour- iers‘ case was before Parliament? Not. one raised hll voloe ln support of those men, and yet, more than eighty per cent of our Federal members are depen" on the rural districts of Canada for their seats tn rurllnment.

The i‘ tmaater General ‘ ’ ed the Post Office Act. would have to be changed K they put these couriers on permanent salary. How long would lt take those men w do this ff it. wu for those offlcluls at Ottawa? But. when ft, ta to give our rural mall courlers u decent llv- fng wage, fl. alters the cue. With the mall courier k. Ia just simply work for nothing or not at all.

The Postmaster General claims revenue of the post offlce ta up. The rural mat! courier has taken his share of the burden to raise this revenue. What. has the govem- ment done in mum? only taken away the few hollduyp that ﬂioae employeés used tn enjoy.

tn effect tn any other department of our government nerylce. Why la

couriers? simply because 1t de- prives them of a living wage. I should thlnk our Postmaster Gen- eral would blush with shame when he comes to sign hlttname to a contract deprlvtng a. laborer of a llvlng wage.

Money can be found by the de- partment for alr mall routes and everything else, why not, use their einpoyees as a. Canadian citizen shouldibe used and as they are used by other departments of our Dominion?

Is 1t. not time that those em- ployees received some conslderatlon from our Federal membe r They wlll be hearing about this matter on public platforms and through the press untll these wrongs are rlghted.

One can first consider even the franklng of the letters of members of Parliament, where about a ml!- llon dollars of revenue ls lost. And those men drawing four thousand dollars per year! I suppose those members don't realize that they are servants of the people, to represent: them ln Parliament; that falr p‘ay and justtce be glven to the district which they represent. There is not one member from the rural districts of this Domlnlon who has not got a. number of rural mall couriers struggling for a mere existence tn his constituency. What have they done to relieve those men who have given thegovemmenl: of this
