It would not be difficult to 11nd at least one hundred causes for headache it every direct cause were investigated. '

However there is one form o! headache called the nervous and "psychic" headache that is becom- ing common these days.

Dr. 0. f... Thorbum in addressing thc Iowa State Medican Association said:

"The nervous and psychic typo of headache is divided into three groups:

nfhe snowfall which has accom- ﬂnlsd the passing out of March is ‘most welcome to farmers, being al-

tlizer. If the fields remain covered until the middle of April it will be alt-to the good. Taken as a whole the winter has been wonderfully mild. According to the New York‘ Times it has been the second mild-‘ est-winter on the North American continent since 177G.

, The Winter of 1931-32 was the wiaj-‘mcst in more than 100 years in that part of the country east of the Rocky Mountains. The Winter just 911000 was not quite so warm. That may indicate that we are turning‘ back toward colder weather, or it may just represent a temporary lapse that will not aflcct the warm long-time course.

The long warm and cold periods of course, are broken by minor fluctuations in the opposite direc- tion. Trends for the Winter season are most irregular, with some cold spells to interrupt the general tendency toward “green Christ- mases” and smaller fuel bills. Sum- mers grew colder from about 1875 to 1912. but then began growing warmer againf

For Fall, Winter and Spring, however, the average temperatures for the past twenty years are from two and one half to nearly four degrees higher than similar averages up to sixty or seventy years ago.

BRIT. BUTTER MARKET

Denmark in the first two months of 1931 has yielded first place in the British market with her butter to both Australia. and New Zcaland, the quantities being: New Zealand 443,945 cwt., Australia 424,519, Den- mark 344,790. ‘This is a heavy in- crease on the part of Australia and a, large decrease by Denmark. In the calendar year 1932 the supplies were: Denmark 2,583,604 cwt., New Zcaland 2,190,338, Australia 1.829,- 254. No other country approaches these three in supplying that mar- ket. The Canadian supply is not listed.

EMPIRE COFFEE

Canadians are apparently drink- ing more Eimpire coffee than they did. The imports of green coffee imported direct or purchased in bond in the United Kingdom in February totalled 2.354.426 pounds, of which 1,756,644 came from Em- pire countries and 597,780 from foreign countries. A year ago the total imports were 2,895,720 pounds of which 1,508,074 came from fcr- eign countries and 1,227,846 from Empire countries.

Last month the Empire supply- ing countries were as follows, the ﬁgures in brackets being those of a year ago: Jamaica 828,172 (809,- 650); British East Africa 820,448, (121,636) United Kingdom 286.577, (249,858) Trinidad and Tobago 12,040 (96,500) British Guiana 5,000 (nil), Aden 4,409 (nil)

The chief foreign supplying countries were: Colombia 336,712 ($04,229,) Brazil 179,380 (896/736.) Mexico 48,588 (98,880) Venezuela 8,813 (70,598) Hawail11.000, ($1,343.)

EGG IMPORTS

February imports of eggs in the shell totalled 2,593 dozen compar- ed with 5,427 dozen a year ago. Last month's supply was obtained from the United states and Hv-rg Kong, 2,353 at 8896 from the for- mer and 240 at $108 from the latter. There were only 196 pounds of dried

or frozen eggs imported last month as against 21,508 pounds a year ago. None came from Chin: from which the bulk is usually got.

is a. long step in the right direction lbecause it is stern, sharp, and sev-

ere. It is a reasonable approach to the development of the English ai- tltude towards pocket firearms-in

the United Kingdom a crook is so thoroughly impressed with the ia- mentable consequences of being found with a revolver or 1115101 that the use of such weapons is almost unknown.

In Germany, says the London Daily Express, when the blare of Nazi trumpets has died down. the disciplined intellect of the German nation will assert itself, modifying the forces of reaction, building a greater Germany than the world has yet seen. These things will not come overnight-but they will come. The duty of Great Britain is plain. We must regain our owr. economic health and vlgar before we shall be able to help others. ‘Wu have our troubles. but we have also withha us the powers for com- plete recovery. .

Another example of thc extraor- dinary working of immigration reg- ulations is scen in an announce- ment fmm Detroit that a man who sought public office in the State of Michigan last autumn is now in the Wayne County jail awaiting de- portation tc Canada. This man, it is sold, is 29 years old and has been in the United States since he was one year old. l-Ils father also faces deportation, on the ground of illegal entry. Imagine going back to 1905 to dig up reasons for de- portation of people who have been in a country 28 years and who. pre- sumably, have been ﬁrst-class citi- zens in fact, if not in legal actual- ity. Entering the United States in 1905 was a simple process. Thous- ands of persons, in all probability, gave little thought to formalltbs at that time. It does seem unnec- essarily harsh and unfair that any one should be made to suffer for negligence or even evasion so many years afterward. This is the sort of thing, whether practised in Cari- ada or the United States, that makes the blood of the average cit- izen fairly boll.-—Border Cities Star.

Whatever other arguments, says the New York Sun. may be offered for recognition of Soviet Russia by the United States, the contention that it would tend to promote peace. certainly does not stand up well in the light of events. That was the basis of a petition forward- cd to Washington a few ‘weeks ago over the signatures of several hundred ministers and college pro- fessors.

headache which lasts 24 in 48 hours, is very hard to relieve, and l has been preceded by a sense of op- pression for several days. In this group may be placed headaches at- tributed to fatigue, in individuals who have become temporarily un- stable because of a defect in gener- al hygience, or a lack of balance be- tween work, sleep, exercise and i recreation." In other words most of these . headaches which arc called nervous headaches, are not due to poor ,nerves, or weak nerves, or really panythlng to do with the nervous system. They are simply due to the fact that when you work very hard, or arc worried or anxious about anything or everything, you natur- ally forget the ordinary daily health habits as to eating, sleepllm‘. 9X51‘- clse, and the care of the intestine.

Meals are too close together or too far apart. You cat when you are tired or worried which means slow digestion of the food. and slow ab- sorption of the food into the blood. There may be also B85 P1655"? from undigested food. There may be absorption of wastes from the lower bowel. There may be gas pres- sure from the starches in the lower bowel which would not occur if the starch had been properly dlllesiﬂd 1n the upper bowel, that ls in the small intestine. _

red. They must recognize, however, in the dispute which now has aris- en between Soviet rtussia and Great Britain tlic palpable evidence that. regardless of the merits of the quarrel, recognition of Russia and the consequent diplomatic relations’ do not tend to produce mace.

A {aw weeks ago an Ohio farmer. 79 years old, shot himself through the head with a. small-calibre rifle in an attempt to commit sulcldc. The ‘bullet, lodging in‘ his brain, should have killed him instantly; but for some reason it did not, and three weeks later he was still cling- ing tenaciously to life, desperately ill but not dying. And somehow. be- cause of what the little pellet of lead did to his brain cells, he was living in the world of his youth half a century ago. He did not Jrnow he had tried to kill himself, didn't know that hc was in bed. He felt that he was at work, a young man. on a farm-driving a team of hors- es, plowing a field 81nd so on. T0 quiet him. a, pair of lines was de- vised on his bed, so that he could hold them, as he lay there, and cluclr to his horses until he fell asleep. Now there is something eerie and fascinating about this tragic picture. Any man. in the fev- er of a severe illness, is apt to lapse into delirium. But this was something dlﬂerent. A few mys- terious bits of grey matter are de- stroyed or displaced. and an old man sloughed off half a century, left his sick bed, and roamed the ﬁelds of his youth-what are we to make of it?

BULK SALES ACT

Bin-Publication has been made of a memorandum submitted to tho Government on Tuesday last by a delegation of wholesale merchants regarding tho enactment of a Bulk Bales Act. The memorandum states that the request for the enactment of this legislation is the unanimous desire of every holesalcr and banker in the province with whom the delegation have had an oppor- tunity to discuss the matter. The number of holesalcrs and bankers- wlth whom the matter was dis- cussed isnot mentioned.

It is pleasing to observe the in-

terest now manifested in promoting legislation which has admittedly one object only, namely the pra- vention of fraud. This is by no means the first occasion that ef- forts were made to have legislation enacted on this subject. In 1918 or 1919, in 1921, and again in 1928 such attempts were made and were unsuccessful. But while there arc excellent reasons why an Act of this fldbllfg should be adopted, it is not advisable that legislation dOg signed to prevent fraud upon cred- itors, should itself contain provi- sions which might result in unfair- 11955. - Before accepting the Bill itself or oven the statements of its promot- ers, investigation should be made of this proposed legislation and its possible consequences.

It has been stated that Canadian legislation of this character was first introduced in the Province of Quebec fn 1910; that this was next followed by its introduction in the Province of Ontario in 1918. This is quite inaccurate. A Bulk Sales Act was passed in British Columbia in 1908; in Manitoba in 1909; in Sask- atchewan in 1911; in Nova Scotla and Alberta m 1913; and in Ontario 1n 1917.

One gathers from the memor- andum of the promoters that the legislation now introduced is unl- form with that adopted by all the other provinces, except Ontario and Quebec. Nova. Scotia never adopted this Uniform Act, but adopted an Act containing provisions requiring that agreements regarding hulk sales should be registered. Sask- atchewan refused m adopt the Uni- form Act. Without, however, at- tempting to refer to these differ- ences of legislation or to the reas- ons for such changes in other prov- inces, let us turn to the Fkovisloris of the Bill itself.

These, in effect, declare that sales of substantially the entire stock of a business are invalid. unless the creditors of the vendor are either paid 1n full or sign a written waiver or consent to the sale in the manner and with the effect stated in the proposed Act.

Section ten declares that sales in bulk which are made without com- plying with tho Act shall be fraud- ulent and void as against the cred- itors of the vendor.

If such a sale is made, the cred- ltors of the vendor are allowed a period of six mouths, (in New Brunswick four months) from the, date of the sale, within which they may attack the transaction as in- valid.

After stating that all payments made on account of the price by the purchaser shah, in the case of an invalid sale, be fraudulent and void, 8nd that every delivery of notes and every transfer, convey- ance and incumbrancs of property by the purchaser shah also be void as between thg purchaser and the creditors of the vendor, and after stating that if the purchaser has taken possession of the stock which helpurchased, orsny part thereof, hcshall as personally llablq to tho creditors of the vendor for all moneys, security or property real- ized or taken by him from any sale or other disposition by him of such stock or any part thereof, Section ten proceeds to declare that in any action which the creditors of the vendor may bring within the six months perlodto set aside the sale, or in the event of a seizure of the goods in the purchaser's possession under judicial process issued on ba- half of a creditor of the vendor within such period, the purchaser shall be snowed‘ from denying that the stock‘ in his possession at the time of such action, proceed- ings or seizure, is the stock pur- chased or rsocfvcd by himfrorn the vendor.

in his store with his other goods. ' Six months afterwards, in an ac- tion brought by A's creditors, the Court declares the sale to B. to have been made within the terms of the Bulk Bales Act that the terms of the Act were not complied with, and that the sale was fraud- ulent and void as against A's cred- itors. The purchaser, B, is then ‘ w ’ or precluded from denying that all the goods in his possession at the time of the action, or at the time of the seizure under an exe- cution issued ,by A's creditors, arc the goods he purchased from the vendor A.

Suppose in this case that at the time of the purchase, the purchas- er B. was the owner of a stock in trade worth say $15,000; that he purchased from A. goods m slur for 85,000.

time of the purchase, A. had un- paid creditors to the amount of $10,000. These creditors take action, and the sale is declared void. B's whole stock in trade of 620,000 is liable to be taken to pay A's cred- itors. B. must either pay A's cred- itors the whole 810,000 owing to them by A. or allow his whole stock 1n trade to be sold under their execution.

It should be observed, further, that in such a case n0 reservation 1s made of the rights of B's own creditors. At the time of the pur- chase by B., he may have had creditors, who then had their rem- edy against B, and against B's Bﬂods

But if A's creditors under this legislation are to 15s permitted to seize all the goods in B's ' to satisfy their claims nothing is left for B's creditors.

It is true section ten seems to make some provision for B's future creditors in the event of B. pur- 611881118 new 8000s after the pur- chase in bulk from A. Itiwill be noted, however, that this only pro- vides for such futufe creditors, and makes no provision for the persons who were B's creditors at the time he b°118ht the Eoods from A.

The section provides that if after making the purchase from A, Bi have other goods roi- which n, has] not paid in full, these creditors ofI B may share with the creditors of. A 9-5 Wﬂlnat the goods in B's pos- session at the time of the seizure, provided they can ahow that some of their goods are in thg stock which has been seized, in winch case they arc allowed to share in the proceeds of sale to the extent to which those goods may be “m. 1111' available when seizure is made.
