Cltimns of Charlottetown wllhex. 10nd a cordial welcome to the mem- bers of the Canadian Good Roads As. swam which opens its sixteenth Innual convention in the Confedera. Sim Chambcrthis morning, The visit. ors represent every Province in Gan- ads. and many of them will be seeing he Island for the first time. We trust that first impressions will be good once. end that they will carry away with them pleasant memories coup. lea with s determination ‘to come again. _ ‘ The business for which the dele- llw! l" 119°“!!! 1s a very important one. The ofllcial programme, pub- lished in The Guardian some time I80. shows that every phase of high- Wly Problems will be discussed by Iiletlllists, and much benefit should fwllt from the deliberations.

Like other provinces, Prince Edward island has iis own problems in road- making, and the solution of these problems is becoming increasingly important with the development oi Illeedier and more numerous vehicles of travel. Autmnobile traihc, which a few years ago was a negligible fac- tor, has assumed largo proportions, and no future road policy can be suc- cessful that does not make the full- est provision for development along this line.

Much emphasis will no doubt be placed upon problems of safety as well

‘l as of comfort and convenience in

f highway travel. With the progress of speed and efllciency in transporta-

‘ tion there has gone an alarmingly increased fatality list, and it will be oneof the chief concerns oi the~ Canadian Good Roads Association to discuss remedial measures whereby these casualties can be reduced to the minimum.

This is the second occasion on which the Association convened in the Maritime Provinces, and the se- lection of Charlottetown this year will result in much valuable public- ity for the Province. It is to be hop- sd that, weather conditions will prove favorable. and that a pleasant as well es profitable-time will be en- |oyed by the visiting delegates.

THE LATE DB. JENKINS.

1n the passing of Dr. Steven R. Jenkins last Sunday this country has lost an outstan“ figure in the medical profess‘ . and the Province an ideal citizen. None who knew Dr. Jenkins-and he was known through- out the length and breadth of the Island-but was aware cf his fine qualities of mind and heart, and among his fellow practitioners he was held in the highest esteem, no less for his kindly attitude towards the younger members of the profession than for his long experience and re- cognised ability. Since his student lays he kept in close touch with the latest developments in medicine and Iurgery, and only recently returned from an extended trip in Europe. when he visited the principal hospit- als in Great Britain and on the con- tinent.

CHIGNECTO CANAL AGAIN

Now that the Chignecto Canal pro- ject is up again. it is to be hoped it will progress more rapidly than it has done in the past. The survey promised by the MacKcnzie King Government leaves us just where we were one hundred years ago, if the following extract from a letter from New Brunswick in a gentleman in published in the Prince Edward Island Register oi May 20, ma, ‘c in bl believed:

" with regard to the Canal to connect the waters of the Bay of Fundy with those of the St. Lew- rence, the only information I can give you is this-that Sir H. Doug- las has written very urgently tothe Government at Home, to I-dvpi some preliminary measures respect- it; and l-Iis Exeellencyb re- commendation on this important work is supported by documents from the several Provinces of Brit- ish North America. to shew the utility and advantage of it. as re- as well asthe immediate importance of such a communication to New Brunswick; with these documents are all that were transmitted by His Excellency Gov. Ready. in May. 1821, by which the advantages of such s Canolto Prince Edward Island is clearly - exhibited. This communicationwas made in February last, to Mr. nus- kisson, together with Plans, De- signs, Reports and Estimates. The probable cost 0i the undertaking is estimated at £100,000.

Within the present area of the Irish Free State the ngures were i586 in 1881 and but 34v! in 1011 and 114 1n 1026. There was no of- ficial census in 1021. The Centenari- an Club points out that the decline in the number of very aged persons at each census does not tally withthe general assumption that the average expectation of life is extending. Racing of —' pigeons is carried on from time to time by breeders and fenciers of these mtcresting birds in Ontario. This year the result was qu surprising to their owners. Abo_ t a week ego some 2.000 piston! were taken from their cotee in Tor- onto on e Saturday afternoon and carried by train to a point 100 muss distant from their homes, and there set free. A. T. McAree. who tolls the story in The Mail and Empire, states that the general expectationoftheir owners was that the birds would b6 returned on the wing ln about two and a half hours.

The day was not an unfavorable one for birdracing. butoniy 24 of them returned the same evening and

INSULIN AND LIVED DIII‘ As you think ei some of your friends or ecquehltancefwhoheve died of diabetes you naturally. regret that insulin the, juice from ancreu was not discovered sooner. m it is only too true that diabetes has car- ried cii many strong vigorous per- sonalities, in the primsof life. who could have made contributions to humanity. _ . And when you think further. of the cases of pernicious a" which were always fatal. Tru , ey were kept alive for one. two, or even three years, by the use of blood transfus- ions but death always ensued not later titan this. I. Lber a professor of medicine proudly ahowklg me a case which he had been able in keep alive for neer- iy three years. This was most un- usual.

To-dee s11 over the civilised world

the llver diet, first demonstrated b! Dre. Minot and ‘Murphy.

However everybody does not like liver and despite the fact that it is now being served in at ieest fifty dif- ferent ways. there ‘are patients who are able to eat it as often as is neces- sary.

Now although liver is effective nevertheless the liver itself. eaten fresh, is considered the most satisfac- tory method of treatment.‘

So notwithstanding all tliesattrac- tive methods of serving it. it has been found necessary to try and increase that patient! appetite for liver.

And what has been found most ef- fective?

A German research physician, hav- ing. in mind the fact that if onc's liver is in good active condition. the ap- petite s uslnlly good. and that if it is not in good condition that appetite is usually poor, hit a happy idea.

As the insulin manufactured by the pancreas, helps to put starchy foods into shape for the liver in handle more easily. he decided in try out some insulin on these cases of per-

’ ' anaemia wblch~had a poor ap- petite. ,

So he injected fairly large doses of insulin twice a day.

What wes the result?

The appetite immediately improved in all cases-eight-in which this in- sulin treatment was given. .

It is rather gratifying to see the two discoveries of the past five years proving so helpful when used together in these formerly fatal cases.
