Mr. Campbell And. The Mounties

Jn view of the wholesale condemnation _by members of the present Legislature, when in Opposition of the conduct _of‘ the ROYAL CANApIAN MOUNTED POLIcI-z, itwill be interest- ing to sec what attitude our new Mussolini of Prohibition Administration will take towards the “M0unties." '

Will he dismiss them off-hand and pack them off about their business. MR. CAMPBELL will unquestionably have Liberal precedent for such action. Was it not MR. CAMI-IIELL’; own legal partner who in I927, likewise just after an election, sent a squad of, Mounties to the region whence they ca|IIe, presumably, shall we surmise, on the ground that they were “ineffic- ient arid uneconomic"? ‘It ‘is hardly to be expect- ed that with this excellent (P) Liberal prece- dent, and with the condemnation of his fellow legislators ringing in his ears, Mr. Campbell, the only ePficient and economic Prohibition Admin- istrator we have had (according to his own estimate), will beslow in getting rid of such ineflicicnt and uneconomic officials as the Mounted Police_ They must of necessity be sent packing.

It will be interesting to conjecture the class of officials MR. CAMPBELL will then appoint. Will he Organize a bicycle squad? Or will he teach his men motoring and furnish a fleet of motor cars? It is suggested quite a number of “tanks” could be picked up cheap. Perhaps this would accord with MR. CAMrEELIfs ideas of economy. Presumably the new organization will

be called the CAMPBELL CORPS, replacing the

MouNTIEs and their horses. In any event it will -

be interesting to watch developments.

Banking On Bennett.

One of the arguments advanced in favour of the LEA Government's three million dollar borrowing bill is highly significant. It was stated that a. Dominion election campaign was in pro- gress, that the matter of_ refunding federal, pro- vincial ‘and municipal bonds at lower interest rates was being discussed, that after the election Dominion, legislation would be passed in this connection and the LEA Government wanted to be in a position to take advantage of it at the earliest opportunity.

The LEA Government is evidently confident that the administration will be returned at Ottawa. Because it is in the BENNETT platform that the assurance is given to introduce “a huge debt-conversion scheme providing for _the re- funding and consolidation of Dominion, Can- adian National Railway, provincial and muni- cipal debts at lower rates of interest." The Liberal platform of fourteen points was pub- lished in the Patriot of August 3, mud i! Iimkcs no reference rvhalc-vcr Io reduction of provincihl 0r mimicipal interest rater

Nor can it‘ be argued that any promise made outside the fourteen planks in the Liberal plat- form is binding on Liberal candidates. PREMIER LEA made this clean in the Legislature on “led- nesday when he repudiated the promise given by MR. DENNIs and other Liberal stalwarts in the provincial contest that the Public Health port- folio would,be abolished. MR. LEA did not deny that this promise was made; but_it was not “in the bond"; it was not a specific plank in the Liberal platform, and if the electors were gullcd by Liberal promises outside the platform, it was their own funeral. ‘~~..

This being the Liberal attitude, it is plain that the LEA Government is banking on the re- turn, not of MR. KINc but of PREMIER BENNETT with a majority large enough to enable him to put his platform into effect. But why rush legislation through at this time? \Vhy not wait until Parliament meets before seizing authority, at a special session, to borrow in expectation Ofithe BENNETT Government's return? And why, after already borrowing $200,000, should itbe necessary to borrow anolhcr cool three Inillion? That is something which neither MR. DENNIs ‘nor MR. Cox could understand, nor could they_ get any information which would

- enlighten the House or the country.

and other large expenditures made on Public Works during the past season."

It was further stated in ‘the Speech from the Throne that -"a.r no legislative prvvi-rivn ‘will Inade for funds for these exceptional expend- itures, a large overdraft ha: accumulated at the Bank during the past summer. You will, there- fore, be nslzcd to aulhoriae the irrue of bonds lo provide a rum sufficient to fund the present overdraft.” .

What was the purpose of that barefaced misstatement, put into the mouth of His Honour the Lieutenant Governor? What has the Lea Government done with the $200,000 which it borrowed, and which it was authorized to bor- row only for specific purposes? Why is it necessary to borroweafurther amount to meet the same cxpendiftifer? This is the most out- rageous piece of deception ever practiced in any Parliament in Canada. Not one of the thirty, Liberal members raised this point at Wednes- day's session, although it was the crux 0f the whole situation.

The LEA Government have now authority to borrow, when and how they please-mot $200,000 _this time but a cool THREE MIL- LION DOLLARS for purposes for which no definite information hasbeen given: What will be the result? If they can flout the will of par- Iiumz-III by mirappropriafing $200,000. earmarked definitely for expenditures Ivhich have been left unpaid, and camouflage their action by falsify- ing the Spcrch from the Throne, zvhat may the taxpayers now expect?

VARIOUS STOMACI-l AND AI- DOMINAL SYMPTOMS MAY BE DUE T0 UNBUSPIOTID FOODS

Many individuals suffer wIth one 0r more _of the following symptoms: sour stomach. belching of ~gas, coated tongue. nausea, or even vomiting, heavy burnlng paln 1n the stomach. cramps In the stom- ach or abd , constipation, diarrhoea.

They feel weak, tired, nervous ,fr- rltable and “thick-head ,"

They go to their physician and by following his uivlce may feel bet- ter for a while and then return for further advice and help, The physf- cian may then give them a thoughougroverhaullng, including an Xray of Jxe teeth and an Xray examination of the stomach and In- testlties. If no organic trouble ls found some patients seem to 1m- prove a/t once. but there are others who continue to suffer with the above mentioned symptoms.

Nor research physlclans are fInd- Ing that the abovesymptoms are due to ertain foods to which these Individuzfsjarte sensltlve. but because they do not come out hlves. get head colds,_have attacks of hay fever, or ecmmn, they do not suspect foods as being the cause of their symptoms. It Is estimated that about ten percent. 0f the population are greatly sensitive to oertaln foods and have these well marked symptoms.

However Dr W. O. Browning In ‘Trl-State Medical Journal, tells us that from 50 to 00 t. rcent. of the population while not suffering wlth hives, eczema. asthma. or head colds. do have one or more of the symptoms first mentioned. Persist- ent diarrhoea is one of the most frequent symptoms.
