Air Mail Service

Q1; is satisfactory to note that in Accordance with repeated requests this Province the Postmaster germ-ll has agreed to continue last

the present spell oi severe weather and uncertain ‘cc conditions. air service promised is a daily one; but yesterday's snowstorm which efloctualiy prevented the initial ilight was a significant reminder that we are still subject to weather conditions and that we cannot expect uninter- rupted winter service. The airplane service. when in operation, provides ior the delivery about noon oi mails which, under normal conditions in the Straits, would be delivered here on the previous evening. It is there- lore not an entire substitute, even under perfect flying conditions, for the regular ierry mail service; and

for other transportation services. ‘There will doubtless be many days like yesterday, when it will be im- practicable to make the trip by plane. Nevertheless, the service will be an improvement, and the decision oi thc postal authorities to comply with the request oi our citizens will be appreciated. It is a~gesture in the right direction, and in the pres- ent circumstances it is all that can

oN. Z. Butter Propaganda

' A canned article in the editorial columns oi the local Liberal organ on‘ Saturday, which bears all the car- marks of having been furnished by one Dcachman, alias "the Consum- ers' league" who recently appeared before the ‘Tariff Board to contest the right oi Canadian dairymen for Iliotectlon in their own‘ markets, sets Ibrth various reasons why the pres- enlftrade relations with Australia and New Zealand should not be disturb- ed. It purports to speak ior the ag- ricultural interests oi Canada, lg- rioring absolutely the fact that all meetings oi the National Dairy Couri- cll oi Canada held in the past three XII lion been unanimous in sup- porting the Council's request ior an upward revision oi the tarlil on but- tor and cheese.

~ Borne oi the statements contained in this cncyclical are certainly sur- prising. We are told, ior instance, that "the large additional number oi workmen given employment in Can- adn by reason oi concessions made to our manufactured goods, consum- ed all the butter imported." No evi- deuce is given to substantiate this irgument; and indeed it would be diificult w ilnd such. Within three years New Zealiind has dumped over $0,000,000 pounds oi butter into Can- ada‘, Ind it a expected that the im-‘ portatlons for the present year will be still larger. ‘This represents on a consumption- basis about three pounds fliitovsry man, woman and child in on country. How many extra work- men have been employed as a result o: the King Government's tarifl tink-

tqgtng? It is well known that a large

This is the Council that is asking for tarii! Protection against New zealand butter. On the other hand, we have one Deachman, alias "the Consumers‘ League," and the so-called "Canadian Council oi Agri-

ture." Enquiry at the Provin-

cial Department oi Agriculture

has iailed to elicit the slightest inior- mation with respect to this wonder- iul organization. All that could be as-

ccrtained was the fact that in this

Province, at any rate, it has no re-

Improved Ferry Service

v In view oi the proposed improved transportation service between the Capes with the completion of the sec- ond car ierry steamer, and the erec- tion this year of the Canadian Na- tional Hotel at Charlottetown, the suggestion oi better steamer service between Charlottetown and Pictou might well be considered by the Fed- eral Govemment .The S. S. Hoclieia- ga, which operates on this service during the summer with the assist- ance oi a federal subsidy, will scarce-

ly be able to handle the increased traflic whicli may be expected with

the opening oi the new hotel. 1i the contract ior next summer's service has‘ been renewed, as The Guardian understands is the case, some ar- rangement might eveii yet be arriv- ed at ior 1931, when the new car ier- ry will be in operation. It is the in- tention, we understand to operate the present ferry steamer as an addition- a1 service between Borden and Tor- mentlne. Why not try this steamer out between Charlottetown and Ple- tou in the summer and between Georgetown and Plctou in the win- ter and have the Canadian National Railways take over the route and be responsible ior the service as it now is for the Cape service? The service

oi a steamer oi the carrying capacity oi the present car ierry will Qertalnly

be required ior this route when [the new hotel is opened.

The Charlottetown-Fletch ' route can be made a very popular one for summer visitors. An adequate car ier- ry service will eventually have‘ to be provided; and ii the present steamer can be used in this connection it would do away with the expense oi maintaining a subsidized private ser- vice. At any rate, the suggestion is made to the railway authorities “ior their consideration.

In those vegetarian days from Adam to Noah men lived to the ago oi nine hundred years and upwards -Adam 930 and Nblh 950 years. 1n the aiter-the-ilood period, man was given permission to eatrevery living thing that mpveth," in addition to the herbs and fniits before authoriz- ed, but his life was shortened to 120 years, the eating oi blood was forbid- den ior all timeas an abomination.

In the laws of the Jewish nation an elaborate code, now seldom read among Gentile peoples, was set up, in which clean and unclean beasts, birds and‘ fishes were listed clean beasts were limited to those animals that “both chewed‘the cud and di- vided the hooig" clean birds were spepiiled by name, and clean ilslies that might be eaten were described iis those that had both tins and scales." Frequent bathing oi the body and washing oi.’ garments were enjoined for those who inadvertent- ly or other wise touched any unclean ems- ’ ’

It was s greht sanitary reform that has borne good fruit in the world, al- though-it has been more honored in the breach than in the observance among Gentile Christians who claim to be iree from observance oi Mo- saic restrictions in the matter. of iood. We leave the theologians to decide whether or not the destruc- tion oi the herd oi swine at Gadara brought about by the intervention oi the Founder of Christianity, has not some bearing upon the ‘question oi whether Christians may cat pork.

No one oi the Apostles would have eaten pork in their day, but bishops. priests and persons do so now, al- though it was an abomination to the pioneers oi the Christian iaith. Getting back to vegetarianism, it is a well known fact that Jews who eat only Kosher meat and reject pork are remarkably free . irom internal cancer. and Hindus,‘ who ‘are vegetar- ians,‘ enjoy a. like exemption.

She'was long troubled with a cough and while her husband went for a doctor she reached with thumb and finger into her throat and pulled oi! part oi a leai. Then reach- ing farther down and pulling hard- er, she“ painfully dragged out the little tree and its bloody roots. \ ,

It was but a little tree, hardly more than six or seven inqhes long,‘ which had gel inated from a lemon seed that had lodged there and took root in the young lpdys flesh. The story, which seemed incredible at first was investigated by doctors, botanists and others who fully identified the tree as a lemon tree by its leaves. All of which was recorded in The Guardian oi that time.

The grammaphone has been already used in iuneral and other religious‘ services. and most of us prefer it to much of what passes ior singing at funerals.
