RAW APPLE DIET FOR SUMM- ER DIABBHOEA OF CHILDREN

As warm weather comes along mothers are naturally anxious about the diarrhoea and dysentery that so often attacks Infants "and children. Thanks lo our chlldrerrs specialists who advise mothers about the right: diet for young children, partlcularly during hot weather. the number of deaths from summer diarrhoea Is only a fraction of what. It. was some years ago.

However when the abtimk of diarrhoea or dysentery occurs l1. l: nweiiflry to get the inflamed In- testine healed as quickly as poss- lble so that the infant or chlld does not: become too weak to withstand the attack.

A bill sputtsoretl by the Quebec Government, and endorsed by both branches of the Legisla- ture, provides that whenever there is a differ- ence. between the French text and the littglislt text of a statute, of the Civil Code, of the Code of Civil Procedurp, the Mtmicipal Code, the Re- vised Statutes, or an order-in-couttcil or pro- clamatiott, the French text shall prevail. Its ob- ject, as set forth in an explanatory note to the bill when originally submitted, "is to have the French text prevail over the English text of legislation .'IlI(l enactments of the province. in the case of difference between them." 'l‘his is a statement of the effect rather than of the pur- pose, or of the motive, which has actuated the (iovernntettt, says the Montreal Gazette.

with the result that for SUITIP years this City has been falling behind and borrowing to cover the deficit, a course that seems te meet with the approval ofthe pro- perty owners, who find the pres- ent tax high enough to suit. their pocket books. There ls, however no doubt that the practice ls un- desirable, for 1t ls a sure case o1 laying up trouble for the future On the other hand, there must be some limitation of the extent to which taxation ls imposed upon the citizens of any community. The Charlottetown City Council early In 1936 knowingly set. a tax rate that, if 1t. had been collected 1n full, would have resulted In a deficit for the year of $66,663.30, without; making any allowance for the annual depreciation of the City's properties, Including bulld- tngs, drains and water system, streets and sidewalks, etc, wluch depreciate each year to an extent of at least. two percent, and which at that: rate would amount to $42,289.92, making the total deficit for the year $108,953.22. Possibly "Taxpayer" would be willing to pay his share ofthls extra am- ount, but other citizens may not. be 1n so fortunate a position fin- ancially. 1 Judging from letters In the press and conversation that. I have had, 1t; seems to me that. this whole question ls not being given the serious conslderatlon that It. mer- its. Our people naturally expect. to enjoy living conditions much the same as those In vogue In the other Provinces of Canada. On the other hand, ft ls qulte evident that, they are unable to pay the cost of maintaining the average Canadian standard. The question then naturally arises as to why we
