Vicloi in Day

V’Vitl1 all dtie appreciation of the value of

Empire Day in stiniul.-iting enthusiasm for our

heritage as British citizens. it iiitist he confessed that this £llll‘ll\'t‘I'S.'il'_V, falling in conjunction with Victoria Day and .~\rliour D.-i_v, has caused more confusion than all the other anniversaries on the eallenilar.

.‘\llfl so it hecuint-s llC((’SS.'ll‘_\', every year. to emphasize the fact that May 24——or May 25 if the 24th falls on Sunday——is not Empire Day in Canada. lt is Victoria Day, so stated in the statutes. \\'e li.'i\e no day set apart as a holiday in Canada designated as linipire Day. rind the fact that in I-Inglunrl and Australia May 2.; is observed (only pcirtially) as Empire Day. should not lead us into the error so often made of say- ing or writing "liiupire" for “Victoria" Day.

Nt'\'ertlicless, Victoria is a name held in such love and \'C)lEl‘atlOl'l throughout the Em- pire, and is associated with so many glamorous achieienients in limpire building, that it is but fitting that the patriotic note should be sounded in conimeniorating this anniversary. It used to be called "the l2liecii's l.iirthday" and older read- ers will recall the vim with which they sang, as school children:

“The; twenty-fourth of May to the Queen's birth- a ; If we ilont get a holiday we'll all run away!‘

Mtnlseir. or not. the lending party chiefs have been re- elected at the first onset, and their Oorrununist or extremist allies have made significant gains. We must. recognize in this proof that rhnce desires peace. and that she is in no mind to encourage Fascist tn- ltlatlve. However, there is nothing in this that indicates a. de'eatist movermnt. From the viewpoint of French foreign policy, is can be said that the F'riinco-Russian treaty is accepted as 3 means of ward-l lng off the German peril.

CHRONIC PAIN OF ABDOMEN IN BEN

DISCOMFOBT OR CHILD-

Parents and physlciiuis some- times notice that Ii. numbed of children between the ages of 5 to 12 complain of discomfort or piiln in the abdomen that seems to be present all the time. There is usu- ally mnstlpation. is tired-out feel- ing with loss of appetite. As at. vciing-ster at these ages should be full of life and always hungry there must. be some real reason for these symptoms.

In attempting to find I. direct cause for this chronic discomfort in the abdomen in children Drs. J. Slgnorelli and H. I-Iosen. New Orleans, state in the New Orlams Medical and Surgical Joumsl, that the most logical condltiona likely to cause these symptoms are in- fliimmatton of certain lymph glands in the abdomen, chronic ap- pendicitis or the action or disorder- ed action of certaln flowers or vegetatlons in the intestine.

They observed twenty-five ap- parently healthy children between the agm of 5 and 12 complaining of abdominal discornfort. or pain. lack of appetite, constipation and lassitude (tiredness).

Their findings suggested that there were change in the lymph glands of the me.9entery—( I por- tion of the covering of the intes- tine by means of which the in- testine is fastened to the back bone), and also that some of the growing flowers or vegetation: in the intestlm were iuilting in their actions on the contents of the in-

testine tnstead of opposing one another. with this thought in mind.

knowing that hydrochloric acid in the digestive juice of the stomach prevents the inflammation of these lymph glands of the mesentery. and also the working together of these intmtirial flowers or vege- tniions, these physicians prescribed dilute hydrochloric acid in doses varying from 25 to 40 drops three time a day. Q) be taken diluted in water at each meal

Marked improvement occurred. with iellef of all symptoms. excerpt lack of appetite in four of the twenty-five cases-

After one to two months of such treatment the acid was stopped. Many of the children have now been without the hydrochloric acid

France, where he now resides, to an old Yukon pal of his Mr. CLEMENT Burns, Librarian of the Supreme Court at Ottawa, Mr. Sifiivica said that he had abandoned literature but that, even though he plays the piano poorly, he has ‘composed some songs and is thinking of publish-l irig them.

The Twilight Of Gandhi

(Toronto Globe)

It is strange word. and somewhat illuminating, that comes from War- dha. India. It tells of Mahatarna Gandhi, deposed from the presi- dcncy of the Indian National Con- gress, now “sullen and disappoint- ed". lamenting "betrayal" by his "best friends."

Five years ago Gandhi's name was on the front page of every newspaper in the world. with his civil disobedience crusade, his loin cloth and goals and spinning wheel, his strange marchlngs and ‘blending of mrslicism with political agita- tion, lie had ciiptiued the world's imagination; there were even those who spoke of him as ii new “Messiah."

Yet this man. who had been an able barrister In South Africa. who spoke perfect English with an Ox- ford accent. was. beneath all his mediaevallsm. a crafty politician. So long as the British Government, through its Viceroy Lord Irwin, made much of him (the midnight. conference in Delhi is vividly re- :-alledi he remained 3 power. But when Britain. realizing at last that "Saint. Gandhi" possessed certain attributes not associated with uatnthood adopted A firmer attitude toward him. treated him as any other ievolutlonnry wowd be treat- ed. his prestige waned. Lord will- lngdon, A gentle man. no tyrant nor mt‘ltiirIst. dealt with him firmly. refused to stand for his tacit re- bellion under the guise of "mystic- him." The early consequence. was that Gandhi ceased to be "from page" stuff throushtout. the world, and especially in the United States; his influence waned steadily.
