‘The » Cabinet Shuffle

at the in... of, writing. n. attitude of Premier King with respect to the claims or this Province for Cabinet representation remains in doubt. There are indications that he con-

‘ templates making readjustments for

the benent of Quebec, and that a new position will be created to pro- vido for a Ministry of Fisheries. If

I the rightful claim 0f Prince Edward

Island to this portfolio does not ap- peal to him. he should at least be susceptible to an appeal on the score of gratitude. It will be remembered that following his defeat in North Waterloo h llll, Mr. King left Can- ada for the United States. where for three years he was employed by the Rockefeller ’ tlon. Returning to Canada he was a candidate in as... York, Ontario. in the general sleuth: d 1917, and was again de- feated. Chosen leader of the Liberal party in 1919, he found himself with- out a constituency; and it was the Liberals of Prince County, Prince Edward lsland. who came to his res- cue, offering him a seat which was oppoa-tunely vacant in that constit- uenoy. Mr. King continued to repre- sent Prince County until the general election of i921. when he again con- tested North York, and was elected. He was defeated in that constituency. however, in the general election of

l‘

d925, and thereupon transferred his

allegiance to Prince Albert, Saskat- olwwan On his several visits to this Province, the Prime Minister was in his expressions of apprec- fatioliyof the services rendered to him by the Prince County Liberals. Ilia sense ofigratltude, however, did not prevent him from depriving the Province of its solitary seat in.the Cabinet, leaving us the only Province in Canada without such representa- tion. If. during the present Cabinet shuffling. that is going on. Prince Edward Island is again ignored. it will be construed as a direct rebuff h the Premier's political friends in mo Province, who did so much to ssclne his election in the early stag- Q of his career as Liberal leader.

Creditable Publicity

Talking Turkey

Most of u.» disturbanclfs that af- fected Canada in 1929. says a corres- pondent in a western exchange. have been due m our propinquity to the United States. The proposal to man the border with an armed force to keep United States "dry" was but one of the effects of our geographical sit- uation. We have been aflected by our southern neighbor's tariff readjust- ments, by her stock exchange collap- ses, her farm relief measures, great waterways controversies. and other matters of lesser importance. With respect to tarlfl changes, of course. the onus cannot be placed on the United States. In this respect at least. "it is not in our stars. but in ourselves, that we are underlings.” Ottawa is as near to Washington as Washington ls to Ottawa. and Ot- tawa can speak lust as loudly and as clearly to her neighbor acres the fence as her neighbor can speak to her. Hitherto the talking has been of a one-sided nature; we have been afraid to "retaliate" by acting on our own initiative, and have suppos- ed that by such tactics we shall suc- ceed in lacing a purely business le- lation upon a entimental basis. But Washington is under no such delus- ion American statesme - may make after-dinner euiogles on the harmon- ious relations and the desirability ofl brotherly love and understanding be- tween the two countries; but when they resume their seats in the Sen- ato it is to consider tariff regulations that will shut us out of their market as completely as if we did not exist. Having been treafod several times in this manner, it ls dawning upon an ‘ creasl ly largo number of our people that the best way of talking to Uncle Barn is to talk turkey. Per- haps. when we have adopted an in- dependent attitude at Ottawa, we shall be better pleased with ourselves and more respected by our neighbor.

Editorial Notes

The l cent per pound duty on New Zealand butter entering Canada is only a fraction of the difference o! the cost of production as between the two countries. That is why the Na- tional Dairy Council is demanding tarifl protection. It is not to wax rich at the expense of the consumer. but to save a vital Canadian industry from tlnction.

Now that the King Government isfacingapoliticalcrisisitwillno doubt attempt a strategic retreat from its position on the Australian trade treaty. It will not be so easy for the Liberal press and politicians who have defended tbs wholesale dump- ing of New zoaland butter into Can- ada to justify themselves in agri- cultural constituencies.

These roads were constiuctsd at great coat and have been improved from yealvto year by the construction of suongor Land broader bridges to car- ry the heavier cars. trucks and bus- es. Sharp curves have been eliminat- ed, or made more open, with the cuter slda raised lto permit of high speed being maintained from town to town. and the rules and regula- tions of motor traffic embody are formed with the utmost regard to the sdfety of drivers and passengers.

Roma. a. Perrault. Minister of Roads. has extended official greet- ingl a bulletin ‘issued by his dd- partment to all concerned ln motor car traffic reminding them of what the Government has done for them and expressing his hope and connd- ence that during the year i980 all owners and drivers of cars will com- bine their efforts to make highway traffic as safe as possible.

Mr- Perrault takes note of the fact that the great majority of roadway accidents am the consequences of

lessness. or inattention on the part of drivers. "Prudence, sustained attention, the observance of traffic rules and duo respect for the rights of others are the very ‘best protection against accidents," he says. This is true, and every car driver shares in the responsibility of maintaining and protcc“ _ public safety on the mad-s.

In mentioning many things upon which the Soviet authorities have turned their backs or tried to abolish —the Deity, the Sabbath, the rela- tionship of children to their parents the seven-day week an so on. we om- itted to note that Santa Claus. Christmas trees and all that con- cern the great Christmas festival have been banished from Russia. It ls a part of the national ya against religion and whatever relates thereto. '

Merchants are forbidden under heavy penalties to sell Christmas trees. or toys. or to display in their store any reminders of the Nativity. The children of the state must not be permitted to learn anything about Santa andbls reindeer coursers. his chimney visitors or the delightful gifts\he bones to the children of more favored lands.

That the automobile industry con- stitutes the biggest business in the world today ls the opinion of Paul Chaville, who recently visited the United States to studyit. Ho tells that to find out what it is one has but to look out of a windowln an American city. The swarms of mot- or cars, none existent 80 years ago, give an impressive answer. But they swarm only in America. In Europe there is no such congestion. At the beginning of i899 there were not 1.000 automobiles in the United States. Today there arc more than 33 millions of them in the world, or one

INJECTION 0F IIEMOBBIIOIDB

A striking advertisement some years ago, showed the most promin- ent corner in a lersc my. with I number of individuals approaching or passing it.

Underneath .t.his ‘picture. was the statement ‘Ziflour out of every ten of these people passlns this corner every day are aflected with hemorrhoids (piles) '

Now while the above is really an over-statement of facts, nevertheless the number who suffer with this dis- tressing. ailment is very largo indeed.

Did you know that a hemorrhoid is simplya vein, lust like a vein any- where in the body? .

But it has becomehard, thickened. tortuous, just as the varicose veins you see in the legs. ’

A hemmorrhoid then is varicose vein.

Now as mentioned before, during the war we advised the l moval of varicose veins in the legs by opera- tion. This laid the patient up for some weeks, and he was not dt for service for it least three months. And aimi- larly with hemorrhoids. These were likewise removed by the knife.

And now what do we find?

One physician gives the history of 50,000 cases of varicose veins removed by injecting quinine and other solu- tions, with uniformiiy good results. No loss of time from work, no dis- ability, no pain.

It was only natural thercforethat surgeons should begin the infection of hemorrhoids in the same manner and with the same substances. And al- ready one physician reports c000 cases he has treated personally,

The results show that there is no pain, no loss of time, and the treat- ment can be given in the doctor's office. ~

"ma treatment is lol- the internal type of hemorroids. "

Now what a the ‘cause cf these hemorrhoids and how can they be prevented?

In men they can usually be traced to sluggishness cf the liver, and to a lazy intestine. ~11 the bile is fl0wlng properly from the liver there will be a regularity of movements along tho whole intestine, the contents will be in a semlfluld form, with no hard substances causing congestion of the veins at the lower end.

Irregularity of the intestinal habit in men and women is another fre- quent cause due to utter carelessness or indifference.

Toe rocking exercise-bending from side to side with the knees straight- will squeeze the liver and induce bile

‘more is one for every five persons. in the States. one for every nine in Canada. onb for every 35 in Great Britain and France. ‘This makes one realize that everywhere else the mot- or car is‘ only at the opening of its‘ career- ‘Ihe writer whom we are fo -' lowing states that Americans have a saying-"It is not because we are rich that we have automobiles; It is because we have auto- mobilQ that we ale rich."

Production bad run up to ssoopoo cars yearly but this year for tbenrst time the September pro- duction. was less than that of the same monthln i928.

Production of motor csra must go on until the countries which now have but few cars sbalfbavs many and thebiggest business in tho world will remain so for decades yet to come.
