CHILDREN'S FRIEND

A number of years ago. the late Mr. K. J. Martin, K.C., was asked for a favorite literary quotation, and next day handed the questioner the following quotation from Dick- ens: “Tale of Two, Cities."

"A wonderful fact to reflect upon. that every human creature is con- stituted to be that profound secret

' and mystery to each Other. A sol- emn consideration, when I enter a great city by night, that every one

closes its own secret: that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there. is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it! . . . In any of the burial

places of this city through which I

pass, is there a sleeper more in-

icrutablc than its bll$Y lflhllbiliflnlis are, in their innermost personality, to mo, or than I am to them?“

At the same time Ml‘. Martin de- zlarecl it was the first and bouudfin duty of every member of thc fam- ily to protect and defend his home. the most sacred place on earth. No prying eye must be allowed there, no secrets divulged, no aspersions permitted or tolerated. To defend the reputation and sanctity of his home, he maintained, a member was justified _in some to “draws

lengths. ‘

' ‘This being his conviction it was but natural that he should be the IWOITI friend and defender of child- ren, of young people, especially the underprivileged, the unfortunate, the wayward. No man living can dis- close the untold good Mr. Martin did in his capacity of Magistrate, guide, philosopher and friend for those who strayed from the beaten path. the straight and narrow way. He was the staunchest friend and sup- porter the Children! Aid, Society ever had. If there was the ghost of a chance of a youngster being sav- ed, he risked it, and held out the helping hand. Often he was mis- understood and adversely criticised by good people who themselves have

never been severely tempted and

tried; often he was condemned for alleged leniency in not sending rails and strays to prison or re- formatory, but for this he cared little; his anxiety was t: sag-the voungster rather than revenge soci- ety. And today many, alas, very many who had the roughest of rough roads in childhood and youth, rise up and call his name blessed, for he saved them in their time of trouble.

The movement for union govern- ment has got a great imrrltus due to the illness of Mr. Bennett. A testimony to the universal belief that he is the man of the hour.

The Legislature enters its third week still debating the Address. If the house is to prorogue by Easter -—as Nova Scotia, New‘ Brunswick. Quebec and the Dominion intend doing, there will have to be some speeding up in the discussions.

If Mr. Bennett be compelled to serve a. month in compleic rest from his parliamentary activ- ities, he would still be in time to visit London for the Jubilee celebrations, but it would mean the end of all talk about a June elec- tion. The prospects now are that the Flederal election will take place

on Monday, ptember 16. After ilaving staffed its offices with good, deserving Grits, thc

Nova Scotia Government now pro- poses introducing legislation mak- ing their positions permanent, as in the Civil Service at Ottawa. It only remains for Mr. Hepburn to do like- wise. As it ls, at Ottawa the great majoritylof the best positions are held by Liberal appointees perman- ently secured under the Civil Ser- vice commission.

It is now announced from Ottawa that the Budget will be presented to Parliament by Mr. Rhodes on Thursday, if present plans are not upset. Only slight changes in tax- ation are expected but n is believ- ed the Government, in the effort to relieve the electorate. will impose a

work as Stipendiary Magistrate, viz., iuccesslve Attorneys-General. and the membe s of the Children's Aid Society, will be unanimous 1h test- ifying to his sound Judgment as a magistrate and his great-hearted- ness as a friend of tempted, frail humanity. We have pleasure in publishing elsewhere in this issue a moving tribute to this effect from

m illness of the Prime Minister, , rays the Mail and Empire, naturally halted parliamentary proceedings. but now that it is known he may not be able to resume command for awhile the business of the session is being speeded up. There are sev- eral members of the Government quite competent to lead the House. Sir George Perley and Hon. Hugh Guthrie are old parliamentary hands, and Hon. C. H. Cahan, while he has not had so long an experi- ence, has a firm grasp of the legis- lative programme and of parlia- mentary procedure. Of the younger members, Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Hon. Dr. Manibn and Hon. Wesley Gor- don ehaVG the necessary equipment to take charge in the absence of the older Ministers, and the other mem- bers of the Cabinet are well ableto pilot the business of their depart- ments through the House and com- mittees. There is no dearth of abil- ity and talent in the Government. In fact, few Governments have had so many members ' ' g firet- rate business capacity with excel- lent ability in debate. They have the loyal and enthusiastic support of all the members to the right 0f the Speaker and eniov. as well. a time measure of the respect l-Qdlllllid- will of numbers directly and diieon- ill!

In the event of a referendum l0- ins tlkfln in the wheat and flour mark-cts of the United Kingdom and the Continent of Europe, on the , “ as to whether Canada's wheat policy. since 1929, was right or wrong. what would be the ans- wer? It can be predicted safely that the vote would be overwhelmingly against the present policy. The con- sensus of opinion among European traders is that the blame for the present impasse in the world's wheat situation rests with the pol- icy adopted by the Canadian Wheat- Pool in 1929. It will be remember- ed that in i929. although wheat was as high as $1.73 per bushel. the Pool decided not to market their supplies in order to try and form up the price to $2.00 per bushel. Those responsible for the operation of the Pool at that time argued “that Europe has got to buy the wheat and that was all them was to it!"-—G. F. C. Ralkes, in Can- adian Business (Montreal)

cause or ASTHMA UNKNOWQ our MANY cases ass uuuau

The fact that some individuals pro sensitive to certain foods which cause irritation of the skin, head folds, or cvcn asthma, and uthem lure not, would show that them 1; nothing wrong with the foods, but that something in the make-up of certain individuals causes them to have these symptoms when they cat these foods.

It is gratifying to know that many cases of asthma are now being our. ed by keeping the individual on small amounts of certain foods and keeping them as free as possible from nose and throat irritations.

At Guy's Hospital, London. an asthma clinic has been in existence for some years. Dr. J. L. Wltts, the director, reports that there were 5,515 attendances and 45o new cases during the past year.

“The most striking difference be- tween those who have asthma and thme who have not is the great 'sensitivcncss‘ to proteins - meat, eggs, fish, cereals, and certain dusts ——and also the greater number of nose and throat conditions among the asthmatics.

The treatment therefore at Guy's Hospital Clinic has been the cor- recting of these conditions in the nose and throat by breathing exer- cises. inhaling of various sub- stances, tllc use of vaccines, and in some cases operation. The extreme scnsitivcncss to the proteins has been treated by naving the patient avoid thc harmful substances or cutting down the amounts as much as poxible.

It must be admitted that many individuals who are sensitive to pro- tcins according to the skin and other tests do not have asthma, but it would appear that those who have asthma are sensitive to a greater degree.

The skin tests —— scratching thc skin and rubbing the protein sub- stance intc the scratch, or injecting it under the skin—show that thc majority 0f asthmatics are sensitive to several proteins, witch they are constantly breathing into their lungs - house dirt. feathers, orris root (face powder). pollens from plants, horsehair and other animal ilairs. Concentrated solutions have been made of these substances and ihe patients have been in oculated with them.

Good results have been obtained with these innoculations especially in those where nose conditions ex- ist.
