The Mai- peque Road speedway. 9139"“ i° traffic a few weeks ago, is already in need of extensive repairs-not in one piece, as the Liberal or- gan states, but in many ior a distance of some B00 WIN-and before the tourist season is over it will probably have to be taken up and re laid at a cost of many ad- Iitionai thousands oi dolllrl. ' How many thousands of dollars has the Lea Government squand- ered, nrst in road machinery and imported gravel which could be pur- chased much cheaper in this Pro- vince, then in "experiments" of herd surfaced highway! 606N118 $11,000 a mile 7 Only the Lea Gov- ernment. its contractors and pm- liteers, know the precise figure. No body knows what the cost oi re- yeiring than eXDensive highways, Ureedy disintegrating, will be. One l-iing is certain, however. The De- partment of Public Works is spend- hg, chiefly 0n road work, in the vi- ainity of three quarters of a mil- Ion dollars a year-or as much as the whole revenues oi the Province under the Stewart administration. This increased revenue the Lea Government is receiving in addi- tionai taxes and in the additional federal subsidy granted to, but not received by the Stewart Govern- ment under the terms oi the Dun- can Report.

Not one cent oi additional revenue, outside the taxpayers’ pockets, has the Lea Government secured by its own efforts since taking office in i927. although it was elected on the rpecliic pledge of securing from the King Government a final adjust- ment of our subsidy claims at 0t- tewa.‘ '

shameful Propag-tz-rlda

It is evident, from the virulent siropaganda. appearing almost daily in its columns. that the loeal Lib- eral organ will go to any lengths to abuse and misrepresent the Bennett Government. At the present time the situation in Western Canada, resulting from extended crop fail- ure, is so grave that prayers, as against a national calamity, have been oflered in churches all over the country. 0n Dominion Day the sriticei nature oi the situation was laid before Parliament by the Prlmc Minister, and his statements called forth united and non-partisan ex- pressions of readiness to promote pationel measures for the relief oi those in the stricken areas.

ern Canada, said:

“The Government is taking the wise course at last-and it will find that in all whole-hearted and efficient efforts to mobi- a tragic situation, as well as to cope with unemployment general- ]y, it will have the support v! y1g1,->-i,l'.nklng people of all Pm“ ties, in Parliament and l" the country."

But the opinion oi right thinking people seems to have little weight with our local contemporary when it is a question of the Bennett Gov- ernment. Alone oi all the newspa- pers in Canada, it refers sneerlng- ly to the relief measures fldclllfid and asks what the representatives of this Province were doing when they "opened not their mouths" to protest or to demand, as the Price oi their votes, similar concessions for their own constituents. Had they done so. they would have merited the contempt of every de- cent citizen in the country. Fortunately the voice oi the lo- cal Liberal organ does not carry far in this broad Dominion. Its opinions, one way or the other. are a negligible factor in either the Liberal or Conservative policies at Ottawa. But it is well that our own people should know, in advance oi the provincial election campaign, just what sort of propaganda to ex- pect from the Lea Government or- gan. The sample above quoted is not likely to be forgotten when the electors go in the polls.

The Guardian, says the Liberal organ, is "indeed hard up" when it Eoes outside the Province to quote the Moncton Times as predicting the defeat of the Lea Government.

We suggest that the shoe is on the ‘other foot. It is our contemporary -that is “hard up," for there is not an outside newspaper in can- ada, Liberal or Conservative, that m5 Vvhi-llrcd to make any other prediction.

they gave to the attempt of two 0i‘

three Liberal partisans to ride n‘ political resolution through, scor- ing the Bennett Government and furnishing spurious material for the MacKenzle King Opposition. The resolution was not only mendiiciwsi but was stupidly blunt in its par- tisan wordirig. It declared that ac- tion “had not yet been taken by the Government to solve, or assist to solve the unemployment problems oi this country," and that "unem- ployment had greatly increased as a result of the policy pursued by the present Government." There was not a delegate present who did not. know that both these statements were the“ direct opposite oi m! truth. And it is also right to re- member that there was not a dele- gate present who endorsed either falsehood by his vote. The resolu- tion failed to get a single vote,- not even from its Grit mover or sec- onder.—-when it was finally put f0 the meeting.

The recent provincial by-electlon in Saint John, N. B, in which the Conservative candidate polled 3,018 votes as against 1,602 by his Liberal opponent is a fair. indication of the trend oi public opinion not only in that district alone but practically throughout the Dominion. The usu- al stock argument about the cle- pression, unemployment and the various faults oi the Bennett Gov- ernment’ in being the sole cause of these was worked by the Liberal candidate and his supporters for all it was worth and with the result above mentioned. The people know what the Bennett government has done and is doing for Canada and will not be misled by partisan pro- paganda. The rwult in St. John should be taken as a warning by Liberal propagandists in this Pro- vince who are frying to inject fed- eral politics into the provincial. It is the provincial government not the federal that is on trial.

There is always foo much of a tendency to allow residences to de- teriorate in appearace because they still continue to serve most satisfac- torily the functlon of shelter. Beauty may be only skin deep, but everf that degree, of depth has high value.

The house that needs paint. that has warped or split siding, loose brick, cracked stucco, and so on, may be just as comfortable as ever and Just as impervious to weather, but it has lost value and will con- tinue to lose value.

The only way to prevent deprec- iation is to offset it. Repairs must be made as demanded, and blemish- es of appearance must be corrected as they occur.

Materials are cheap and labor is plentiful and eager. Repair and im- prove your house now; save money; make yourself feel better and im- prove the aspect of your coiximun- ity.—The Canadian Lumberman.

"It is desirable that every man should cultivate a hobby that will interest him and occupy his time when he has abandoned the pursuit of money. We believe. however, that the average man who has been en- gaged in business for forty years be- comes too fond of money and can find no pleasurein life equal to that of adding to his store of wealth, and the modeirn idea of education, as pursued in school and college, is to instruct the pupils in the art of making money, instead of convert- ing the raw material into u finished product of culture and refinement. The result is that the average man is simplyia. money-getter from the cradle to the grave. Indeed, his edu- cation has not fitted him to culti- vate an intellectual hobby, either in literature or art; nor has he the technical knowledge required to pursue a hobby of a mechaicai nat- ure, and so he passes atedious old age as a man without a hobby."— London Free Press.

WEATHER

With the arrival of warm or hot weather, there is ‘naturally a little ” in the diet of most people, but the idea that the food intake should be cut down by one half is a serious mistake. Perhaps you feel that as the bulk of the food eaten- about 80 per cent—is to keep you warm so that all the }_TOCQBIGB oi the body can do their work properly, that when the weather is warm, the body will keep warm naturally, and not much food need be eaten.

As a matter of fact the body needs in the warm weather about 90 per cent as much food as in the cool weather, and ii the individual gets outdoors in the summer and plays or works hard he may need as much food as in the cool weather, perhaps more.

However as some foods heat the body more than others without giv- ing any more energy or having any more building powers, it is well to out down on them during the hot weathen-oatmeal, pork, puddings, and so forth. These should be re- placed by more salads, friflts and vegetables.

Meat and eggs once a day should be eaten by everybody, winter or summer, as they build up the body better than any other iood, by keep- ing the blood rich in iron. This should not be forgotten by mothers who have youngsters playing out- doors durin gthe long summer days. Mothers see that the youngster gets plenty of milk which is Nature's best food to grow strong bones in child- ren, but the meat and eggs repair soft body tissues broken down by the play, which is equally important.

Although the every day foods all have the necessary vitamins it is well to remember that a mixed diet is your best assurance that you will get some of all the vitamins daily.

Thus eggs, milk, bread, green“ vegetables supply vitamin A.

Lettuce, peas, beans, eggs, spinach, yeast, supplyvitamin B.

Tomatoes, oranges, lemons, sphi- ach, onions and milk supply vitamin

Cod liver oil is Nature's best method oi supplying vitamin D but milk comes next.

_It is unfortunate that we are not all born with a liking for spinach as it is very rich in vitamin A. B. C. and has some vitamin D also.

The main thought then in hot weather eating if you do no outdoor work, or take outdoor exercise, is to cut down on cream, butter, oatmeal, and rich pastries and slightly on meat, but not on fruit and vege- tables.

Keep the vitamin list in your mind, but you can see how your every day diet practically includes them all. '
