A GOOD CITIZEN

For more than half a century the name of Mr. James Paton has been a household word. Everybody, or nearly everybody. knew him per- sonally or by reputation- A man of sterling worth, his word his bond, and his bond equal to one hundred cents in the dollar. gold standard, he walked the street here uprightly for some 65 years, none daring to make him afraid. Mr. Paton was energy personified. When he saw a thing required to be done he did it, no matter what it cost him in time and exertion. l-le knew the value of minutes and little things. In business, in provincial affairs, in municipal appointments, in church, he so regulated his time that he was always on duty or in attendance some minutes before the hour set, and never left until the work to be accomplished was finished, As a matter of economy he invariably saved the string and paper covering of every parcel re- ceived in the conduct of his busi- ness, and saw to it that his clerks did likewise. It was close attention to such details that made him the man of efficiency and reliability that he became during his long and useful life in our midst. Just as ho was particular and pains- taking ln his own business, so also was he in those oi organizations, civic and provincial and especially ‘in church affairs. With him noth- lng was done until it was done as he considered right. As a man of charity, he was the living exem- plar c! the dictionary‘ meaning oi the word-“the disposition to think well of others; a. friend of the He was both of these, and much more of which many there are can testify. A stalwart in our public and religious life has fallen but not without leaving countless evidences and memo ials of a life well spent and a reputation richly wm

A SPECIAL SESSION

The public is surely entitled to some explanation regarding the Lea Government's decision to hold a special session of the Legislature on Wednesday, Sept. 25, for the pur- pose of obtaining authority "to fund the bank overdraft at a current favorable rate of interest." It was the contention of Premier Lea and his colleagues when in Opposition that it was always possible to make arrangements with the bank with- out borrowing.

Why the hurry to fund the over- draft at this time, on a falling mar- ket whcn the interest rates are likely to be lower by next March?

A special session will necessitate all the formality and expense of opening and closing the Legislature, even if the House only sits for one day. No provision has been made in the Estimates for the payment of members for a special session, and unless they legislate at the session itself they will not be compensated for attendance. But they will prob- ably demand at least their travel- ling expenses; and there will also be expense of paying the legislative officials, who, having made no ' c- onomy" pledges will not be expec- ted to work for nothing.

It is anticipated that when the members meet for the special ses- sion they will be in caucus, when no doubt the question of guarantee-

. ing the obligations of the Potato Growers Association will be discus- sed and the Government advised regarding the wishes of its support- Q Q this connection.

HR. STEVENS

Before coming to Charlottetown last wezk, Hon. H. H. Stevens spoke ‘to Pictcu and made practically the

zpeech which he delivered’ 3- here. The New Glugow Evening . ‘News sums up the result: _" ,'“I'h: leader of the newpgtrtyulut “night vi. ly assailed the Con- yservstlve regime of which he was ‘d. former member. Why?

It was an intending, if

the sum total of Premier Bennett's mistakes during five years 0f 1m- preoedented world depression; at least the moct important as Mr. Stevens saw it. Against this may be set the Prime Minister's unparal- elled record of Social Reform measures; the League of Nations report that lists Canada in the foremost position in the entire world in point of recovery; and thirdly, the Empire Trade Agree- ments thatthave increased Canada's trade with England alone by one hundred million dollars in the three years since they came into effect. Mr. Bennett has his faults; even if Mr. Stevens was perhaps s. little over-zealous in emphasising them. But thinking people will be hard to convince that they are so great that they overshadow the courageous leadership and magnifi- cent record of this, the greatest statesman Canada has ever pro- duced."

EDITORIAL NOTES

A month ago hardly anybody, knew the first thing about Social Credit. Today it holds the front page of the newspapers in Canada, United States and Great Britain.

A missionary addressing a country congregation recently com- plained that rain kept people away from church, whereas they would never dream of using the same excuse for staying away from a political meeting. l-Ie will have to revise his opinion now.

Mr. Paton was the father of good footpaths, of drained streets, oi trees in our streets. He was never tired initiating and developing plans for the benefitting of our citizens and beautifying our city. In this respect especially, his works do follow him.

The other day "Maxims" assert- ed that the single syllable “hoc", ("This is My bread‘) had been re- sponsible for more controversy and doubt than almost anything else in the history of the world. Perhaps a good second would be the two- syllable word “Sabbath".

Lest it be forgotten we may re- call that Mr. James Paton and Sir Charles Dalton were the first two citizens in 1915 ‘to contribute field equipment to our newly raised vol- unteer army. They ied the way and set the pace for all the voluntary efforts which did so much for the comfort and social benefit of our boys overseas.

Mr. Paton was the soul of hos- pitality. Nothing pleased him bet- ter than to he surrounded at his own dining table by a host oi friends enjoying the good things of life. and "the feast oi reason and flow of soul’ ‘which invariably accompanied them. He was espec- ially fond of young people and his periodic entertainments for them are things to be remembered through life.

what a difference in political out- look a. few weeks in office makcsl The Lea Government was elected on a campaign of economy, one measure advocated being the aboli- tion of the allegedly unnecessarv extravagance of a Public Health Minister. The Lea Government not only continued this oflice, but has now appointed a Deputy Health Minister as well.

"No man who has reached a mature stage in his personal evolu- tion ever expects any lesson in the political field to be learnt. (writes Dr. George Glasgow in the current Contemporary Review). ‘The forces are inc big and-too chaotic, and by the time a politician reaches wis- dom he has in most cases lost his influence and falls an easy victim to the overwhelming pressure of the untrained, hnchastened, unwise younger generation."

It is an erroneous opinion that Nazi-ism and Fascism are one and the same thing.

Social Credit diverts attention from the real task. and leads to the wastage of the energy of far too many of those who see the need for eco- nomic reiorm.—London Daily Her- aid.

Americans seem prone tc carry fire-arms into politics. It will be recalled that an attempt was made to murder President Roosevelt, and that the assassins bullet instead killed Mayor Cermak, of Chicago. Lincoln .

INDIGESTION AND THE VOMIT- ING HABIT IN CHILDREN

Mothers are often at a loss to understand why their youngster sometimes loses his appetite, may have a headache, and may have vomiting spells.

This condition is sometimes called acidosis. As these attacks occur from time to time they are some- times called “cyclical" vomiting at- tacks. as they appear to come in cycles.

It has been suspected that it may be one, or more than one, article of food that causes these attacim but making skin tests and actually test- ing out certain foods has proved of no assistance in fining the cause of these attacks.

Dr. K. Tallerman in the British Medical Journal thinks that these attacks are much like or related in some way to migraine-wnc-slded headache—-as seen in adults, and he therefore recommends that the fat foods-butter, cream, fat meat, egg yolks-be cut down in the diet. However it is not generally agreed that all these attacks are due to acidosis, that as a matter of fact most of the upsetments of this type in children are really due to con- stipation. > Thus if poisons or wastes remain in the intestine too long there is the natural absorption of these poisons into the blood. When this blood, with its overload of wastes or pois- ons, reaches the liver, the liver dos its best to filter them out of the blood, but docs not succeed very well with the result that the indig- estion or vomiting results. The mother will notice that the wastes frcin the bowel are pole in color in- stead Vof brown showing that insuf- ficicnt bile has been sent down the intestine from the liver.

Now it is known that a liver with a 800d supply of “glycogen" (sugar) stored away in it is less easily poisoned than one that is lean or short of sugar. That is why it is considered good treatment to feed glucose (sugar) to these children. In fact research workers on this condition believe that. small amounts of uncooked fats such as milk and butter can be fed in these cases, and only the cooked fats (roasted or fried) should be avoided.

Repeated attempts to do some- thing that seems impcssible even- tually brings about success. Easy tasks soon lose their appeal. But difficult tasks always spur one on. Vision is enlarged. Imagination is aroused. Fear and danger grow less as agencies of failure. Learn by forever attempting! The untried al- ways fascinates. otherwise we would have little of improvement and advancement. Those who do big things with such apparent ease and confidence have behind them a background of experience which includes a multitude of successes ln small affairs and as great a multi- tude oi failures in the attempting of big things. But those with the will to do and to achieve count many a failure as success, Most of us who stumble do so because oi fear-fear that we may not succeed. But by attempting again and again, we learn to climb and to gain the heights!

Failure ls an extremely difficult affair to handlc~but success is even more difficult! There are even successful failures in this world all covered with glory. Too much success has often taken the fine fibre of a man and atrcphied it. To a dozen men who are able to handle failure. there is but a mere. one, o1- two who is able to handle success and make it serve noble ends.

Probably all of the things we th‘nk and say are merely repeti- tions of what have long ago been th-nght and said by others. Wi- rcad books and learn. We gain. not only knowledge ‘that inspireseand spurs us on. but we learn to think for ourselves and through this
