KIPLINWS MESSAGE

A signal tribute to the part play- ed by the Royal family in Empire affairs, and a sober-warning to be prepared for the dire emergencies of war, were the highlights in the address delivered before the Royal Society of St. George on " " by Rudyard Klpllm. Kiplings voice baa seldom been raised in recent years. His popularity as a. poet has waned somewhat, yet his great con- tribution tn British patriotic liter- ature gives him a place apart. in the hearts of British subjects throughout the world: On the rare occasions on which he speaks, he

"_ "~14 still able to command world-wide

attention. The gist of his remarks 3on Monday is thus given by tlW Canadian Press: ‘Prop gevnral years—more than i0 l believe-our responsible adminis- trators dwelt almost with complac- ency on the magnitude of risks we were running "and on our righteous- "Iess in running them. It was then ealimd that Britain's state-defend-

ed defencelessnesg had not borne

much fruit and that we had walked far enough along the road which was paved with good intentions. ’ “It is now arranged that in due

~ time we will take steps to remedy our more obvious deficiencies. But if the attack of the future is to be the same swift lines as our oppon- ents' domestic administrations. it is possible that before we are aware our country might Join the submerg ed races of history."

Kipling, referring to the part flayed by the royal family in nat- tonal affairs, said: “Three genera- tions of our ruling house have ac- cepted‘ whatever burden of respon- Iibillty, whatever’ merciless demand for effort, whatever o! personal risk

' the honor or needs of their people laid upon them. Each generation in turn has bowed the neck to un- broken sacrifice and devotion and patience.

“These things have come to create and stiffen and inspire the whole taken-for-granted fabric of sanity and silent discharge of duty, both in our islands and throughout our Empire on which our destiny de- pens. That, behind and beyond all. is our strength and our hope."

PROVINCIAL ARCHIVES

The role played by archives in the culture and educational life of the community and the present altuatlon in. each province with_ reference to the department are discussed in a reprint of the Can- adian Historical Review for March, published over the name cf George W. Brown. The neglect that ob- tained in the past in this matter

‘and the wanton destruction of ir- replaceable records is emphasized. It is pointed out. among other things, that the books and papers burned in the Parliament Build- Ings in 1840, or the early records of the Cunard Company or the Canada Company. which were de- stroyed as junk would be priceless ‘now. ‘These instances of irreparable loss may in extended indefinitely Ind to every section of the Domin- ion. The paovinces, it is continued, are morally responsible to them- aelves and to the people of Canada as a whole to see that the early records of the Dominion! develop- "H0110 are preserved. ' 0f the Prince Edward Island Archives Mr. Brown writes: . "There is no separate depart- ,’ merit of archives in the province, ‘I but collections of material are to be found hi the Confederation r Chamber at (‘n-rlottetown. in the v oploe of the registrar of deeds and mpooimissioner of crown lands, in _~ G50 legislative and public library of Charlottciown, and in the sev- .._._b_ral departments of government. ;__~Ifie minute; of the executive coun- ‘lll, the journals of the legislative “assembly and of the legislative Qimcil, the laws and public ac- Jbounts of the province, and news- paper flies running back to early issues are among the most import- ant material; available to stud- ents.

CANADA'S WHEAT

The Dominion uw rmnent’; pol- ‘icy with respect to wheat, induding y the pegging of prices and the main-

tenance of a price level which gives the farmer a not return of about 0 cents a bushel, has been severely cc Recent dupatchas from Winnipeg. however, says the Van- couver Province, suggest that the ‘government's policy has not been so insane as the critics would make it out to be. A variety of circum- stances have combined to send wheat prices up. The world's vis- ible supply on April 1 was about 70,000,000 bushels below what it was a year ago, and crop reports from 'neariy - everywhere "are bullish. Neither Australia nor Russia have wheat to sell. Argentina is past the peak of her shipme ts and the United States is expected to be a large buyer rather than an export- er. Canada alone is the source of large supply, having about 240.000,- 000 bushels available for export.

acne "fl5%li 7"‘-

I often speak of acne (pimplca) l because they are so om to Your young folks just when appear- . anco means so much in their livu. , I have spoken of the suoom of two Chicago research workers in curing themselves and a number of students by a month's treatment of ' viosteroL They started with 10 drops daily. gradually increasing the dos: tuntil at the end of two weeks 20 drops were being taken daily. They ‘continued using the 20 drops daily {for a further two weeks. By count- ging the number of pimples oefcxe and after the use of vicsterol they were able to measure the exact amount of improvement.

Another important factor is the =food. Certain foods cause the con- dition to become much worse. not ,because there is anything wrong livitli the foods, but because certain [glands in the body which become ‘more completely developed at this time (i4 to l6 years of age) seem to interfere with the body processes in such a way that they do not handle or use up these foods pro- perly. In general, the starchy foods — potatoes. bread. saga... candy. pastries-should be cut down and the fruits and egetabies should be increased.

Sometimes an infection of the teeth or tonsils will interfere with the body's lighting ability and pim- ples result.

I hesitate to talk about the treat- ment of acne by lotions, ointments, Xray, and vaccines. These have all been of help in many cases. but

vised by a physician. However a sug- gestion by Dr. Bernard Fa-ntus, Chicago. may be of help to many sufferers:

“Ari excellent ,_ ‘ before the treatments are given ,is soaking the face in borlc acid solution as hot as can. be home, carried on as follows: Add 8 ” ‘ tablespoon- fuis o1 powered borlc acid to 8 quarts of hot water. Patient should lean over the bowl and repeatedly soak the face for 10 or l5 minutq with towels wrung out of the salu- tion. 'I'his removes grease. outer skin cells, and many organisms and thus increases the power or ability of lotions or ointments that are then used. The blackheads should be removed by an extractor, not ivy-the fingers. After the hot applications cold water should be applied for a minute or two.

The Enigma Of Europe

(Mail and Empire)

Ever since Kipling bade Britain beware of Adam-Zed, the bear that look; like a man, Russia has been acting as if it were striving to live up to that reputation. In the Great War it lost its prestige as a steam- i-oiier. and proved a sore disap- pointment to its allies. In the story of her life Queen Marie of Bourn- ania tells how Ruaiia betrayed her country twice. The first betrayal was not known until after the ’ The Czarist regime was glad en- ough to have Roumanla enter the war, but feared her entry would dislccate Russia's ambitions south of the Danni-re. Indeed, the CID!’ himself wrote Marie expressing amazement at umaniafls ambl- tions. Bulgaria had secretly agreed not to attack Roumahia should Roumanla come into the war. Rus- sia threw troops into the Dobrudga and Bulgaria had to go back on its pledge. thus forcing Rioumania to fight on another and an nanticl- pated front. The second betrayal came after the A volution, when Kerensky forbade Russian troops to co-operate with the Roumanians.

Russia's conduct since has mt been such as to encourage Allies to trust it. The Soviets have been and are still suspected of propaganda to undermine the govr- ‘ of
