OUT OF TUNE

As shown in yesterdays Guard- ian, the vote on the Imperial Con- Zsrenz: agrcelnclits found the Lib- eral forces hopelessly divided. This division has been evident all along in tbs Liberal party press. The following example 1S a striking case in point. Is it any wonder Ml‘. King's followers were vusited by doubts, and showed thcir indecision by voting opposite Lhc Rhodesian agreement?

AS U. S. SEES IT

The New York Times has this to say about the new Eimpire trade agreements:

“A protective tariff based on Dre- ference within the Empire is only one step in the development of Brltsh policy. n has been clear since England first determined to aband- on free trade, in n. world bristllns with barbed tariff barriers. that I second step woilld be the nesfilllllii" of reciprocal agreements with un- tions outside the Empire. These countries would not be Elven Pflll‘ ileges equivalent to i-lwiv Blamed the Dominions; but they would f?‘ ceive substantial concessions if they were willing to grant others in re- turn. How rapidly this second phase of British policy ls being develop“! is shown by the fact that even before the Empire treaties became effective nineteen nations notified the British Government of their intention to seek reciprocal agree- ments. Dfscuxions with one of these, Sweden, are now in progress in the olllces of the Board of Trade. Neg- otlstloru with five others will be begun this Winter. 1t is expected that next Spring France and Germany will send ‘commercial dele-

gatloru to London." This is one of tne best answers yet

given to the critic: of the Ottawa aITUCIIIOIIII, and it comes from. an

‘independent source in s country

that has been decidedly hostile In its tariffs to the Empire and to Cannds especially.

ma: PART SUPPRESSED

A Liberal orator once remarked of s. bill before the local Legisla- ture that there was “something in it which hsd been left out." The same can surely be ssld of our contemporary’: version of the Cau- ndian Press report of ‘Tuesday's voting on the Imperial Conference agreements. A truer inlpresslonof the scene would have been convey- ed to our contemporaryb readers if it had not suppressed the follow- ing salient paragraphs:

Conservatives cast derisive laughter acrou the floor as Lib- ersl after Liberal voted for the Rhodesian sgi ‘. But their comments took on more sarcasm and their laughter became more uproarious when the next vote was called.

It was the treaty with the Irish Free State and it produced n scene that delighted the Con- servatives. The Liberal leader first announced he would support the treaty, then changed his mind and opposed it, taking all but one of his followers with him. Gov- ernment members pounded their desks in unrestrained merriment, Liberals for the most part were glum and silent.

mscnvn ruvnorn GLAND CAUSES CHRONIC AILMENTS

Drowsiness, dry skin, loss of hair, especially the outer third of the eye brows, constipation, headaches, muscular pains worse at night, and chronic eczcma,—these are the symptoms that often arise in an individual in whom the thyroid gland is not manufacturing enough juice for the needs of the body. You often sec cases where the thyroid has been too active and the individual is very nervous, with rapid heart, and trembling of the body. In this condition rest, the use of iodine, and sometimes the re- moval of part of the thyroid gland becomes necessary. In some cases where there is too little juice manu- factured the individual becomes quite fat, and is sluggish mentally and physically. These cases are, of course, easily recognized, and thy- roid extract is often helpful. However where the amount of thyroid juice is just a little be- low normal the individual has the symptoms above mentioned-drast- ness, dry skin, loss of hair, consti- pation, headaches, muscular pains and eczema.

Now you can readily understand that an individual with some of these symptoms, headaches and a chronic eczema, would not likely be thinking about the tyrold gland in the ncck, as being the cause.

Dr. A._L. Anderson, Springfield, Mc., stat/cs that in examining pat- ients it would be wise to take a metabolism test just as the heart, lungs, blood, blood pressure, and urine are tested. This test, you may remember, consists in measuring the amount of work done by the processes of the body when the body is at complete rest, with no digestion going on.

If the body processes are working too hard or too fast, too much thy- roid juice is being manufactured. If the processes are not working fast enough it is usually because not enough thyroid juice is being made. If then everyone were given this test. and it was found that not enough juice was being made, it would explain such symptoms as drowsiness, and why old skin all- nlents-eczema do not heal.

In a routine examination of more than a thousand patients, Dr. An- derson found a number of cases of chronic ailments such as bronchitis and migraine or one-sided head- ache, and as their metabolism test showed a lack of thyroid juice, thy- rold extract was given and cures re- slllted. " ‘ This condition—underactlve thy- roid gland — may explain a number of chronic ailments.

CURE FOR. DRINK

Slrfr-MEYDI‘ Stewart, Hon. W. M. Len and Senator Hughes having expressed their views on prohibi- tion, surely it is time the lenders of our temperance forces are heard from. Senator Hughes says- tllcy‘ should write over their own slgua- I tures; and if they don't their si- lence may be taken for consent to the views expressed by him and his friends. Tllcir contention is that by considerably reducing the

liquor tax the bootleggers would be left without patronage because "the public would be slow‘ to take the chance of buying high priced boot- leg liquor W110i] they could get; what they wanted at the Govcrn- Z merit stores." The Mayor says this j, is also the opinion of HouJMr.

Lea, and it is commclldcd by Scll- I ator Hughes as "going to tile root of the difficulty of cilforcing any effective control of the traffic."

If Prince Edward Island wercl under a system of government

control these arguments might ap-

ply; but what possible application

can they have here under Prohibi-

tion, where the use of liquor for

beverage purposes is illegal? How

do these gentlemen suppose the public is going to take advantage of reduced liquor prices at the Government stores, when liquor can

only be obtained from such sources

for medicinal purposes? To make legal the “curc" which these gentle- men suggest as the only feasible one, it, would be llccessaryfor us to abandon our Prohibition Act, which I do not bclicvc for a mo- ment we are prepared t.) do. It is not cheap booze but: tllc prohibi- tion of all booze that temperance people desire and in the past have strenuously fought for. Are our or- ganlzed forces to submit, 1,0 the new policy without protest? The attitude of Messrs. Stewart, Len and Hughes as expressed in the correspondence columns implies a confirmed disbelief in any method of counteracting bootlegging and the drink evil except. by competi- tion through the sale of cheaper booze.
