~Notes by the Way’

That Sir Andrew Duncan, the hen- ored Chairman oi the Maritime Rights Commission, before his re- turn to iEngland had expressed his desire that the report of the Com- mission should be published forth- with has been recently made known. The fact w... disclosed whch the Conservative members and senators were at Ottawa choosing a new House leader, and was publicly stat- ed in shiht uohh by‘ one of the delegates on his return from Otta- wa. No doubt exists that ‘Sir An- drew foresaw that the people most concerned would be eager to learn the contents of the report. No valid excuse has yet been given on be- half of the Government for thwart- ing the wishes of Sir Andrew lad the Maritime people.

Hon. ‘Robert ‘Forke, Minister of Immigration, has been discussing Maritime problems in Winnipeg. A brief despatch tells that he thinks our diillcultles might be alleviated by immigration. "if so, he should lose no time in getting on with the job of alleviation. He had always thought, he says. that it is better tokeep Canadians at home than t0 -be scouring Europe for immigrants to ta-ke their places. This is true. but Mr. Forks in stating is only, like the katydld, “saying an undis- puted thing in such a solemn way."

Mr. Forks, good man, touched a very weak spot in the King Adniin- istration. ‘it has done nothing of value toward bringing immigrants to this country in flve years past and worse than nothing to provide employment for the workers in Can- ada and keep them at home. The

cates have never attempted to show that it has provided a single day's

toller at home.

Many good words for Mr. Meighenl have been printed in Liberal jour- nals since his retirement irom the political arena. They are no doubt pleased that their most ‘formidable opponent will _not appear in ‘Parlia- ment during the coming session.

Our esteemed contemporary, Tile iPioneer, rises to explain that pub- lication of the report oi the Royal ‘Commission on the ‘Mlnritimes 15 being withheld until the Govern- ment had digested it‘ ii procedure which the Liberally disposed Pio- neer heartily approves and with which, from a gastronomic stand- point no fault can be found.

‘Will our contemporary now tell us what the Government will do if it doesn't digest it?

The Globe and ‘Telegram, oi Tor- onto, and La ‘Patrle, of Montreal, believe that Mr. 'Meighen will car: ry the Conservative National Con- vention that is to meet next June for the selection of a leader, to which the Sydney Post adds: Mr. Meighen certainly will carry the Convention if he wishes to.

One of the principal dangers in automobile driving is the careless- ness of some drivers when coining out from side streets on to a main street. Several accidents have recently occurred in this way

But the Liberal mribes-nnd Phar- isees—are uow dipping their pens‘ in gall to disparage ‘Mr. Meiglieifs temporary successor, lMr. Guthrie.

The head and front of Mr. Guth- rie's offending lies in the fact that he was once a Liberal, an adopted son of “Sir Wilfrid Liiurier. almost, but “a thankless child," as the Toronto Globe calls him, who has become "the leader of the foes oi‘ Liberalism."

We cannot imagine the gentle spirit of ‘Laurler voicing such senti- ments in the abodes of the blest, where we trust he is now at rest. it is only the spirit of rank parti- zaiisbip that would put in Sir Wil- friifs mouth such words so mis-ap- plied against an honorable oppon-

The full report includes the followins passage which we can endorse: "The three Maritime lProvinces form the ‘finest setting ground ior immigrants and the natural cradle -for potential lBrltisli subjects-no matter whence they come or what their nationality. Canada has beeii populated in a lopsided man- ner, the advantagcs of the East having been minimized in order to stress the advantages of tho ‘West. The time has come for the Western Provinces to lie low for a while in favor of the Maritimes, and railwaymmen and others in charge of immigration totell the strict t iitiaihd point out use magniiignt advantages of these Provinces."

IMPORTANCE‘ OF HEADACHE

That the, majority of headaches

orflbimilar methods is really true, because the majority of headaches ‘vim be traced to some intestinal de- ffi-llkemaut. However our physicians learned some years ago- that many cases of headache did not respond to thh treatment. and began to look for the cause or cagses.

ache that gave trouble, but the headache that was constant, or one that occurred at regular intervals. ‘And it is just here that if you should happen to be a sufferer from headache that you should watch carefully, and try to figure out the possible cause-

if you consult your physician be as accurate as ‘possible as -to the exact part of your head that aches, and the nature of the ‘pain or ache. For instance you might speak of the pain as being above the eyes on the forehead. Now immediately over ‘the eye is likely due to eye strain or other eye trouble. Just above that again may be due to dyspepsia or indigestion, and above that again to constipation.

A pain on the forehead between the eyes is usually due to a nose condition. iA pain at the back of the head may be due to eye 0r intes- tinal trouble, but may also he due to teeth, or ear trouble. A pain at the very top of the head may be due to anaemia, hysteria, or neuras- thenia.

A heaiiachefls not only annoying and interferes with work or play, but may be actually a symptom of something of "a serious nature that will take some time to locate. - You can readily see‘ therefore,

work or wages for any Canadian that if the old fashioned treatment

of caster oil is not effective, your family doctor may ask you to see the dentist, the eye specialist, the nose and throat specialist, stomach, and even other specialists. Perhaps you have become just a little tired of seeing all these spec- 111111115, and have been wondering why your family rphysiciait cannot tell you the exact cause of it. It would be a simple matter for ihim to give you the castor oil spoken oi above, and tell you that there was nothing else ‘but the intestine causing the headache. But you can sec that it is often not a simple matter. _ _ diowcvcr to get rid of a headache is worth all the time and money spent. '

Cranberry Growing And Canning

great faith in the future of the berry whether the “wlld" grown or the’ cultivated on modern lines. From a dietary or marketable standpoint it makes little differ- ence, except as regards the quan- tity grown and the price realized. In ilie matter of ‘taste and price one ibraud is as wholesome and as palateable as the-other. But there may be a difference in the market as to quantity of supply. if the Province decides to embark in the industry on a largo scale the “wild cranberry can be labelled accord- ing to its class as-well as the oth- er; still it would be well to have our island brand as uniform as possible.

Nor does the matter of owner- ship offer any more obstacle to su- periority than the ownership of -the various products of the farm res- .pectlng live stock, etc. The ques- tic‘ii of all owners organizing uiiit- edly is, however, a very important Ifeature of the output. it is just as

necessary to have united action and ice-operation for the common good in ‘fruit as in egg production or Ianythiiig else where there are nu- merous producers. The great point -is for -all\to face- the market with a high-class article put up in the very best shape. ‘iii this is accom- lplished thch the best ‘rfimllts will the attained by all. i lu a letter which appears in the

"As to tho prosecution of work leading towards the ilevelopnicnt of the canning industry, there is a excellent opportunity awaiting some Province of the Dominion to ‘supply the home market demnn-l as cranberries at present are not pro- duced in any quantity in Canada.

‘The Experimental area under Governmental control, should, I think. be located in a part of the country where there should be lit- tle difficulty in getting plenty of water for reilowage. This would prolbably have to be done by the construction of pumping outfits. As water can easily be obtained in any quantity the cost of installing a pom-ping outfit would not he cx-
