P. E. I. OBJECTIVE IN 5TH VICTORY LOAN

This is $500,000 more than the Provinces Qbiectlvc foi- the Fourth Victory Lean and twice the amount asked of subscribers here in the First and second Victory Loan Campaigns. But the chairman and officials of the National War Finance Com- mittee here are confident that the objective can be reached and that the people of the Province will measure up to the pace they set in former campaigns for war purposes. ‘rhere is a general realization of the fact that the money is desper- ately needed to supply the Canad- ian and other Allied fighting men with the materials of war on the battlefronts of the world.

"Speed the Victory."

The slogan for this loan is "Speed the Victory" and the quicker this Province and others reach and sur- pass their objectives the quicker the victory will be wcn.

Provinces, municipalities and dis- tricts, even the individual salesmen, have been gned as a minimum _objective the amounts, they real- loed in the Pburth Victory Loan campaign.

P E. Island has always topped

their objectives in Victory Loan campaigns and in all other cam- paigns for war purposes. It is con- fidently expected that the Province will do the same this time. The campaign opens on October 18th and. runs until November 8th. It will be three weeks in which the utmost effort of everyone C01- oerned will be needed to put the campaign over the top.

Penicillin May Cure Meningitis

CHICAGO. Oct. 6—-(AP) —.D'l- jection of Penicillin-the new won-

treatment of staphylococci meningitis, two Nash- vile. Tenn, physicians reported t0- ay. Drs. Cobb Piloher and William F. Msacham, writing in the Jour- nal of the American Medical As- soclation, based, their statement on results obtained in animal in- vestigations.

The disease is the infection with staphylococcus of the three mem- branes which envelop the brain and spinal cord.

The two investigators found that injection of penicillin into a vein had little or any beneficial effect but that injection into the spinal canal or into the Space at the base of the brain which contains cereb- rospinal fluid "with relatively small doses of penicillin greatly reduced the mortality rate (from 93 per cent in control experiments to 54 percent in treated animals)"

ue Dismal For

By The Canadian Press Twin shortages of supplies and manpower combine to provide Ca- nada with a dismal fuel outlook for this winter, it was shown to- day a Dominion-wide survey by The Canadian Press.

Th; shortage of coal itself seems most acute in the Eastern Provin- ces but all across the country deal. ers and householders arc plagued by a shortage of men lo deliver what coal now is on hand.

For insance in Winnipeg. where a fair supply of coal i reported. deliveries are being lied up by the shortage of workers and wom- en have been engaged as coal shov- qllcrs in an attempt to meet the problem.

To meet the Dominion-wide sit- uation. the Munitions Department has appointed solid fuel represen- tatives lri seven of the Dominionhi

transport of anthracite coal from areas of plentiful supply to those of short su ply and has given coal delivery pr orlty rights to persons who have little or no coal in their cellars.

The department recently asked householders to aim at saving one ton of coal in five this ~winter. Churches were asked to reduce fuel consumption by 20 per cent and theatres have undertaken to reduce their use of coal by 30 per oeit.

n Halifax, where the supply and dezivery situation both were criti- ca for some months. the situation has eased somewhat in recent weeks although hard coal still is scarce. Dealers in Saint John. N. H. said that immediate action is needed there to avert suffering. adding that due to snnnty supplies and the labor situation many coal orders will remain unfilled until the end of the year.

Montreal coal dealers are rot-ion- lng their customers with many limiting deliveries to one ton. Extra charges for delivery iire said to be probable in the winter due to the small amount being delivered to each customer and the many trips this entails.
