grl-IE Saunders. Government realize . their candidate's success in Bel- fast is nothing less than a pyrrhic victory. Combining the opposi- tion's vote, the Liberals are in a minority of ten. In other words, Belfast is represented in the Legis- lature by a representative of the minority of the constituency. It is cer- tiinlyablack eyetothe Gover- -—a black eye on three counts-its position on the Prohibition ques- tion, its financial administration, and its road policy. The mere accident. of retaining the seat through the uncertainty of a triangular con- test, with a plurality oi votes against it, may afford some satisfaction to those who are content to “get there anyway“ by hook or by crook, but to the Province at large the result is a definite and well deserved re- proof to the Saunders Govern- ment.

The newly ‘ l member of the Fourth District, as we have said. represents a minority in the consti- tuency, and if public opinion is tc be gauged by what is heard on every side, the Government party repre- sents but a small fraction of the electors oi the Province.

PROTECTING THE FARMER.

' N his speech accepting the nom-

ination of the Republican party for the presidency of the United States, Herbert Hoover stressed the imporance of giving more protec- tion to farmers. To people on this side of the border it would appear that the United States fanners are already pretty well protected so far as tariffs are concerned. Indeed they are the most highly protected farmers in the world today, yet they are not satisfied. What they see in condi- tions as they exist is that produc- ers in other lines industrial and commercial are receiving u larger return for their product than they are and this is probably true in the generality of cases. The farmer is a foundational producer, without him all other production would be ineffective, for he provides food for them all.

Dr. Plans-d as a foreigner was careful not to criticize the American prohibition system, but- his remarks were generally accepted, as dis ‘

The Governor advocated temperance instead oi‘ ‘prohibition, and Dr. Pierard talked about the substitution oi “tem r- ance for abstinence," as practlc in Belgium, and asserted that this had been one oi the outstanding achieve- ments in the moral stabilization and mental recovery of Belgium after the war.

"The sale of (spirits is prohibited in all public places, such as cafes, hotels and restaurants, where only wine and beeriiare allowed," said Dr. Pierard, discussing the Belgian laws. “The sale of liquors is allowed _only in groceries and special wine shops. but one must buy at least two litres (nearly two quarts.)

‘in lame: W. DRAINING THE GLLL BLADDER

Perhaps you have been hearing

about the method oi treating gall stones, cancer, and other liver con- ditions, by means oi a thin tube called the duodenal tube. It gets its name because it goes down the throat pastthe stomach, and into the first part oi the small intestine, which ls called the duodenum.

A solution oi Epsom salts is pour-

ed down this littlé tube which is no larger than a. slate pencil, and the patient lies on his right side with the right leg straight down and knee straight, the le_ft leg and knee bent lying over on the right, thus bringing the duodenum or first part of intestine lower than stomach.

As you_ know the duct from the

liver and gall bladder opens into the duodenum.

After the salts have remained

there for some time, the patient then lies with the head lower than the body, and the bile is thus drain- ed out of gall bladder.

By continuous drainage almost a.

quart oi bile can be removed from a badly congested gall bladder and liver, in twenty four hours.

Not only is the liver drained of -its

bile in this manner but this drain- age removes mucous, or any broken down infected matter, and prevents stasis or stoppage.

Now the big riGint is that this

ate u DSUIIIBY. RESPONSIBILITY.

A sense of responsibility to others

and one's country is one of the first requisites for good citi- zenship. The man or woman who lives mainly for himself or herself. and who supports a cause because it promises to be a personal benefit is not a good citizen; indeed, they may be classed as dangerous.

With the franchise now extended to men and women, the responsibil- ities of citizens are multiplied. The vote cast for personal benefit may be n vote against one's country, may be a vote for a policy which may mean injury to thousands and years of stagnation to business. This is why good men and women are now urging a study of the vital political issues. Neither man nor woman has the right to cast a ballot unless they know what they are voting for, and every right-minded man or woman realizes this. There are party afllli- iitions which may not be easily

Mr. Hoover's proposal is to still iurther protect the American far- mer by Jnore tariff protection if it be needed, and also by a reduction in transportation rates for farm produce.

In his campaign Mr. Hoover_lays

considerable emphasis on the power to be derived from the proposed waterways project in the St. Law- rence. From this power including water transportation from the Great Lakes to the ocean, he promises ol- rrost immediate relief to the twenty agricultural States in the Union. As to any increase in the American tariff by which the farmers oi that country will be benefited. Cana- dian iarmers will correspondingly fall short and it is by no means pro- bable that Canada will tamely sub- mit to the development oi the St. Lawrence waterways for the exclu- sive benefit oi Amezican farmers. On this matter the Toronto Mail and Empire says: “But in addition ‘to the St. Iawrence route he (Mr. Hoover) declares himself for the Mississippi waterway, whereby the Great Lakes would be joined to the Gulf oi Mexico through the Chicago drainage canal. Canada expects to have to bear the brunt oi Mr. Hoov- er's policy oi increased tarifl pro- tection for the United States farm- ers, but Canada can be depended ‘upon to maintain her rights in re- gard to the St. Lawrence, and Can- Ma will not tamely submit tohave the Great Lakes system in which she is a full partner, drained for the purpose oi making an eternal water- way for the use oi the United States. This country has to be reckonedi with in these important articles oi the Hoover policy.”

Dr. Plerard admitted that there was some bootlegging, and that speak-easies existed under the name of fltrenches," which were concealed rooms in cigar stores and groceries, or “clubs." Nevertheless, the law was drastically enforced against such places, and he did not think that bootlegging had neutralized the bene- ficial social effects oi the law, as many think it has in the United States.

st

The real object oi the law, he con- tinued, was to abolish the form of drinking and "treating," to hard liquor which existed inrthe Belgian cafes beiore the war. As to the ef- fects of the Belgian system, he said the number of cafes had decreased from 200,000 to 100,000 and the con- sumption of spirits from5‘/_- litres in 191a to 2.52 in 192a, and rife con- sumption of beer had increased from 223 litres in 1913 to 234litres in 1925. He added that the consumption of wine had decreased greatly in the last few years because of heavy cus- toms taxes. In addition there are heavy excise taxes and taxes on the opening of new cafes. He asserted that prison, hospital and asylum statistics also proved the success of the law. Belgian workers, drinking less than before the war, are better workers, and have increased produc- tion substantially in some trades despite the enforcement of the eight- hour day.

One frequently hears the remark that women know nothing about politics. This is no more true of women than of men. Thousands of men vote a certain way because they have been told to, becausatheir parents or ’the iamily have always belonged loyally to one party or the other. This is no valid reason ior polling a vote.

The privileges of the franchise simply amount to this. that good citizenship is a sacred duty and that no one can be a good citizen unless he or she knows what they are vot- ing for, and why. Many women are niw taking an intelligent part in politics and this is as it ought to be. Their duty to the State is just as great as is that of the men and their obligations to their country just as binding. Let all women study politics, study at least the import- ant questions which are to the fore- front. Canada is still in the mak- ing and the future of Canada de- pends upon the honesty, integrity and intelligence of its people.

From the vital statistics for 1927 newly issued by the Dominion Bu- reau, it is satisfactory to learn the number of marriages show an in- crease, though in other respects the statistics are not much to boast about. The number of living births was 1,697 against 1,752 in the pre- ceding year; a rate of 19.5 per 1000, as against 20.1 in the preceding year. Deaths under one year of age, show- ed 113 against 123; or 66.6 against 70.2 per 1,000. Deaths at all ages showed 914 against898 in the pre- vious year, or 10.5 against 10.3. Mar- riages numbered 482 against 459 the preceding year; or 5.5 against 5.3 per 1,000.

The question of transportation and railway facilities rightly held an important place on the agenda of business of the Associated Boards of Trade. The future of this Pro- vince depends upon improved trans- portation facilities. After the sec- ond car ferry, we must have a tun- nel, but probably before that, as a successful Islander abroad points out we shall have such an overhead tramc with airplanes, that Prince Edward Island will have become the summer playground of America. By that time, too, real estate will be at ransom prices, for the wealthy people oi Canada and the United States will be acquiring land here

One of the most pertinent remarks, heard about the recent Garden Party, says a lady Dresent, was made by a small boy among the crowd of peo- ple watching the guests as they en- tered the garden at the head oi Constitution Hill. In a high child- lsh treble, he said: "Mummy, where do all these people come from?" I could not wait to hear the answer but his mother might have told him that they came from every quarter oi the Globe, including P. E. Island. The beautiful big garden shimmered in the sunshine and all the people lucky enough to secure seats under the shady trees marvel- led at the King and Queen who moved among their guests, ignor- ing the heat with the channing way they have of doing their duty as if they liked it. Princess Victoria, in a charming dress of beige georgette and a black hat, and wearing beau- tiful pearls, strolled about in the shade accompanied by her equerry and, at one time, by her nephew, the Prince of Wales. Lady Patricia Ramsay, looking very beautiful in a patterned frock of green chiffon, sat in the shade for some time with her husband and circle of friends.

The Duke of Connaught, in grey from head to foot, was looking very well after his recent indisposition, and as he stood chatting with Lady (Henry) Wilson he looked about twenty years younger than his real age. The great spectacle of the after- noon was, of course, the troop of In- dian Princes and their feminine re- lations. The latter looked delight- fully cool in their flowing robes of embroidered gauze but the thick brocade coats and ‘heavily jewelled turbans worn by most of the princes must have increased their tempera- ture.
