Important Meeting

Of importance to all our citizens k the meeting this evening in the Capitol Theatre which will be ad- dressed by the Hon. J. D. Stewart, Conservative leader, on the issues 0f the coming election campaign

Interest in Mr. Stewal-Vs message is naturally enhanced by the failure of the . Lea Government to announce any constructive pol- icy of financing the Province ex- cept by further increases in public debt. Its descreditable. record of broken pledges and promises, its ex~ travagance and incompetency in every department 0f administra- tion, have bcen patent to all.

The Conservative leader has dc- finite and constructive plans which he purposes to discuss tonight, l-long with the record of the pres- ent Government's administration. To his own record as Premier from 1923 to 1927, he can point with sat- isfaction. His election promises on that occasion were fulfilled, nor did he wait until the eve of anoth- er election before putting them in- to effect. His word, in and out of office, has been his bond.

As a speaker there are few who can rival Mr. Stewart in precision and choice of language. i-iis style is trcnchant and to the point, car- rying conviction, stirring enthus- iasm. He hlls spoken, probably, on every public platform in the Prov- ince; and he has invariably been heard, even by opponents, with re- lpect.

iivfr. Stewart never stood higher in the estimation of the people than at the present time, when the con- trast between his conscientious ad- ministration and that of his irre- sponsible successors is so strikingly evident. -

Cyrus And Willie

Mr. Mackenzie King, in his pal- atial apartments at Ottawa, is hold- ing a serious conflab with his pro- tege and crony, Dr. Cynls. The subject. under discussion is the advisability of Dr. Cyrus participat- ing Ln the coming provincial elec- l-‘lons in Prince Edward Island.

Mr. King: You know, Cyrus, your own campaign in the federal con- tmt was not what one would call an outstanding success.

Dr. Cyrus: Why rub that in? I was defeated by what the Patriot, in a masterly editorial which I- ct-inspired, referred to as the "un- scrupulous campaign" of my polit- ical opponents. A

Mr. Klnl- (cynically): I've heal-d that alibi before.

Dr. Cyrus, (tartiy): Your fam- ous "five-cent piece" speech didnt help matters in that campaign, I may tell you!

Mr- King, (sadly): You needn't", I've heard that before too. But let's stick to the subject. Just what do you thing you can do for the Lea Government? I wasunder the impression that they didn't have the chance of the proverbial asbestos cat.

Dr. Cyrus: It's not what I can do for the Lea Government, but what the Lea Government, can do for me. by providing an outlet for the ex- ercise of those powers of political r ueslon which have lain dormant since the unfortunate event to which you unkindly referred. For example, I could write a. series of "Do You Remember" articles, rehashing the federal election issues; and per- hops I might be permitted to air my grievances at some of the meetings. ‘more are a number of points that I had intended to score

in my own campaign meetings. but gyvith Chester and John raking me fore and aft, asking why I support- ed‘ a Government that had failed to implement the findings of the Duncan c mmissi of which I was a member, what I thought _ about the New zeaiand treaty, and question; of thlt kind which hot me on the defensive all the tine, "z, wu unable to

speak with the philosophic de- tachment necessary to the cuff!!- lng on of an academic discussion. m which 1 feel confident 1 would have come off victorious. Now that Chester and John are busy at Ot- tawa, I could tell the people Just what I think of them. That, at least, would be a relief.

Mr. Kins: Would they stand for that in a provincial campaign? I thought Premier Lea was going to the country on the record of his Government.

Dr. Cyrus: An erroneous suppo- sition. It isn't that kind 0! B- recorci. The idea is to incite the farmers against the Bennett Gov- ernment, and to keep as far away from provincial issues as possible. We have already been cndeavcrlng to convince the people that Prem- ier Bennett has fallen down on his election promises. ,

Mr. King: What! (indignantly).

Why, I have just been complaining in Parliament that the Govem- ment has implemented too many of its promises, that it is not fair to the administration which I had the honour (ahem-i) to lead, to show it up in this unsportsnlanlike fash- ion. We never bothered about el- ection promises! We maintained that a party platform was Just a chart-an outline, to be modified, after the election, by circumstances and exigencies. This man Bennett seems to think he's under contract to the people; he keeps talking about his pledges, checking them off as he implements them and even going’ out of his way to remind the House of his responsibility for the pledges which he has not yet been able to fulfill. but which, I fcar, he will move heaven and earth to carry out before he is much longer in office. Now, I never did anything like that. In all the years in which I had the honour- v Dr. Cyrus: (hastily). I know, but we can't tell that to the people- Mr. King: How about the New Zcaland treaty? You could say what a great boon that was to the dairy farmers. Dr. Cyrus: Hal ha! After you telling them in Charlottetown that "when we come to negotiate e. fresh agreement, we will take good care to see that it is so drawn that this kind of thing won't happen again if we can possibly prevent it."

Mr. King: Did I say that?

Dr. Cyrus: You certainly did. However, there is the possibility that the people have forgotten our campaign attitude on that question. In my propaganda articles it will not be necessary unduly to em- phasize that particular point.

Mr. King: I should think not! Well, (after a pause). Bye-bye, if you feel that you must be on your way. And good luck. Don't do any- thing I wouldn't doi

Dr. Cyrus: Thanks for the “1uck"; (drily) I shall need it.

MP- King: (watching his crony depart). I'll say he willl

Toxoid Clinics

Next week an immunizing cam- paign to protect school children and pre-school children from diph- theria is to be launched in a sec- tion of the Province in which spor- adic cases of diphtheria. have been reported during the last few weeks. The Provincial Department of Health is arranging for toxoid clin- ics in several centres, and it is de- sired that all parents and guard- ians of children of school age, and more especially of children from six months and upwards, take ad- vantage of this opportunity of giv- ing their children this needed pro- tection. Tile time and place for these clinics will be announced lat. er through the press-

The success of the ioxoid cam- paign in Charlottetown and other centres is convincing evidence of its protective results against one of tho most dreaded diseaseo d chili- hood.

iiiiTES BY TiiE YlAY

What we est is not always what we exlpect according to the "P011 of the Department of National Health. It is true that the samples examined out of any oommbdlly d” not represent the entire alarket, as they are taken mainly "W! “w” under suspicion. In practically every line there are well-known brands of superior quality. The IPPOTt $8?! that, like all statistics, tilese fisures must be interpreted with caution and only in the light of under- standing. Wlth this caveat, we note that the 21 samples of alimentary pasts, such as macaroni and a988- hetti, were udulteratcd or mlsbrand ed. Companies operating on a Small scale are continually starting 11D with something new, without Pall- ing attention u, the requirements respecting preservative, dyes, etc. Of l7 prosecutions four were because of the persistent and wilful use o! saccharine. No adulteration W85 found in breakfast foods and Co!" c815. "As a general rule," says the pgport "the purchasing consumer receives poor value for his money. but seems willing to pay high Pfic‘ es for convenience in PrBlmfflW-l" for the table because if the main consideration were the maximum of nutrimcnt with minimum Of eXliend iture, this industry could not thrive." If this comment were not written by a Scot, it at least 5H8- gests a return to oatmeal porridge.

Probably the best thing that could happen in British politics, says the Toronto Globe, would be the final dissolution of the remain- ing Liberal minority. with the Lloyd George wing going to Labor, and the Simon group to the Conservat- ive camp. The breakdown of the tlvo-party system has resulted in prolonged deadlock at a time when Britain most needs strong govern- ment. But at the moment there ap- pears to be no prospect of such rc- alignment. While the Tory door stands invitingly ajar, there is no welcome sign on the Labor mat for Mr. Lloyd George.

One might imagine that criticism of the Bennett tariff board would be about the last stage of political stupidity that would actuate the Liberal press and Liberal represen- tatives. None of these can have for- gotten the hand-picked Liberal tar- il-f board so called, spent months presumably preparing a report which never saw the light of day, even the then finance minister the late ‘Hon. .1. A. Robb admitted that he had never read the report. This tariff board was one of the most brazen sharns in the history of Canadian politics and was kept in office by the men who today in the House of Commons are criticizing the tariff board organized by the present Conservative Government.

Some people may find consoia" in the alleged assurance that fat people suffer less from excessive heat than the lean and starved looking ones. Whether this assur- ance is or is not well founded will not create much anxiety in this province where excessive heat when it comes at all continues only a few hours in mid- day leaving the evening and the night comfortably cool and enjoy- able. In any case complaint regard- ing the heat will not continue for any length of time as in a. few short months the attention of complainants _will be directed to- wards anathematizing the cold. Nothing lasts long.

In ancient times there were mun- lficent givers but they stand isolat- ed from the multitude and seem to be posing for public applause. There was a lavish outflow of wealth, but it was directed to amusements for the plebian crowd. Rome built huge ‘ amphitheatres. that the rabble might delight in scenes of blood. and unloaded cargoes of Egyptian corn in her streets to appease the wolf-like fury fo the hungry mob. But today the tide of benefloence flows to deeper purpose. It sets to- ward the enlargement of opportun- ity. toward the promotion of citi- zenship towards the safeguarding of life, liberty and political ideals.- Rev. Julian c. Jaynes.

Recognizing the national dangers involved in sustaining the destruc- tive policy of the MacDonald Gov. ernment, particularly in regard to finflnoo . one by one Mr. Lloyd George's lieutenants are lelwing him.

ANOTHER METHOD OF REMOVING TONSILS

Perhaps you or one of your fam- ily, have been advised to have the tonsils removed owing to frequent sore throats, low resistance to in- fection, rheumatism alld so forth, and you can't just make up your mind about it.

You may have a. family history of bleeding very easily. You have heard about tonsils being destroyed by electricity, coagulating or burning

of the tonsils but find out that it may mean ten to twenty or more

trips to the surgeons office for these treatments, and sometimes the scar tissue formed by these treatments actually dams back poisonous wastes.

Thus if you feel a little afraid of the regular operation for removal

of tonsils by means of the knife and don't care to waste the time on the

electro coagulation method, you may be interested in another method

that is being used in some places, which is a combination of the knife,

and the electro-coagulation method.

Dr. F. P. Herman, West Palm Beach, Florida, tells us that the use of this other method called the el- ectro-enucleatlorl (removal) is vast- ly superior to the electro-coagula- tion method.

By this method the tonsils are completely removed with one oper- ation, with no loss of blood what- ever; no damage to surrounding tis- sues; the little blood vessels are closed oiI thus preventing poisoning of the system; the recovery is rapid, thus saving much loss of time.

This electro-enucleation method of operation is performed with spec- ial instruments of which the wire, cutting out the tonsil, is the active electrode, and the forceps that rc- move them after they are complete- ly cut out is the dispersing elec- trode, by means of which the tonsil can be completely removed from its bed in one operation leaving a clean dry hole which heals rapidly.

The proportions of the current properties in this method are 88 per cent cutting and only i2 per cent coagulating.

When you compare this rapid clean method to the months re- quired by electro coagulation, there is certainly no doubt as to which is the better method.

However it must be remembered that all three methods, by knife, by electro-coagulation, and by electro- enucliatlon, all have certain advan- tages under certain circumstances and you will be wise to follow your family doctor's advice as to the best method in your case.

In Dickens's Town

(The New York Times)

Rochester was a. regular sleep- ing place for pilgrims on the road from London to Becket/s shrine at Canterbury. Chaucer's Host says to the Monk: ‘To! Rouchestre stunt heer faste by!" So all that merry company is in the civic show (the festival celebrating the two-thousandth anniversary of Rochestens foundation); and there were pilgrims from the American Hrofescestere to look on, for nobody loves more or can better afford to go on peregrinatlons. Yet the older Rochester is most endeared to many Americans because it is one of the stations of the Pick- wick pilgrims. The Bull Inn, in High Street, recommended to the four travelling sociologists by Mr. Alfred Jingle, must be to every Dickensite the glory of Rochester.

What are even those queer old statues which the cathedral guide assures you are Solomon and she of Sheba compared with Dr. Slam- mer and the little old widow and the gentleman with the campstool? This is Dickens's twin. Chatham and Rochester are memories of his boyhood. Rochester is the Cloister- ham of "Edwin Drocd." A mile or two from Strood across the river is Jack Falstaff’: God's Hill and God's Hill Place. Dickens's country house. The local identifications of Rochester houses with some of those described in "Pickwick Pap- ers." "Great Expectations" and "llidwin Drood" may or may not be fanciful. The traveller is not there to gradgrind. Ia the food good? II the ale sound? Are his legs ditto‘! Then he is at (38.1 ll-l Dickensland. -

m. 1a a. Macncau, x. c. ha! procured from the Archives at Ottawa a copy of the original diary of Lord Selkirk for the years 1803-1804. 1t reads as follows:

BELFAST

Saturday, Aug. 13th.—Having fin- ished all the business with the Dykes and left her ready for selnand sealed up my letters to so b! the Post, I set off for the settlement at the old French villase failed Bel- fast. I arrived in the evening, hav- ing passed Mt. Stewart on the way over, fatigue in the exploring had madg him ill- I ‘went on board the Polly from which everybody was landed, but still some baggage on board and other things to settle, the ship lying a mile and half from shore had made the boating ted- ious. Several of the passengers had not taken up their full weekly al- lowance of provisions and had to receive the balance- A week had been distributed per advance and there still remained of the 8 weeks laid in, one due to the store. Some squabbling had arisen about the cooking, no cook being provided by the ship, it was difficult to keep order among so great a number. 280 full passengers and nearly 400 souls. Dr. McA. managed it". at last by ap- pointing cooks from among them- selves. The berths seemed fully) confined tho’ the ‘abundance of hatches gave a good opportunity of air, yet it had proved very close in the hot weather, the berths were dirty enough.

I found the people scattered about along a mile of shore, a. few in barns. etc. belonging to 3 unauth- orized settlers, the rest in hovels or whigwams, built oblong like the roof of one of our European cot- tages, and thatched in general with spruce boughs, some of them very close, and fit to turn a. good rain, but the fine weather had not yet but them to the test. Mr. Shaw observ- ed howevcr that they wanted trenches around them which would be necessary in lvct weather. They have been so occupied with landing their luggage that nothing else has been got done. Though the Smith was sent down yesterday he has not yet got to work. Supped at Dr. Mc- Aulay's tent, and went up to lodge in J. McDonald's to which some of my own camp beds had been taken. My own tent had been too climber- some to bring in the boat-one less complete would have been more useful. The misquitto curtains were mismanaged and enclosed as many within as without so that the night was not the most comfortable.

The encampment had a very pic- turesque appearance under night- cvery tent having a. great fire near it, illuminated the woods, and each party sitting or moving around with their gypsy like apparatus of pot and pans gave the light additional variety of play.

Sunday, Aug. Pith-Prom the lateness of the evening I had sccn few of the people last night-the most of them met- us ill the morn- ing about breakfast time, and we had a hearty shaking of hands- they came in general around me with a keenness and warmth that perhaps had a little resemblance to the old feudal times, tho zeal with which they assisted at our landing last night, put me in mind of Bea- forth's reception in Kentutii ll years ago. Being anxious to explore the country in order for laying out the different lots we proceeded as ex- peditiously, by the old French road or Portage to Ienyns or Pin- ette River-the first half of the way is thro' old French cleared land, grown up with small timber of 20 or 30 years growth. the fur- ther part is large timber with-a considerable proportion of pines. etc., mixed with maple,,birch,..etc., this is reckoned good land. In Pin- ette we embarked in a wooden canoe, leaving the people busy in bringinfl another across the Port- age-landed with M. Wright the surveyor and walked into the woods beyond the river. The wood at the edge of the river is stunted spruce and has a forbidding appearance, also the soil on being scratched up is a. white sand at top, but red be- low: however on going 50 or loo yards back there is a great deal of hardwood. maple, beech, birch, black and yellow, which grow to a great size, and are a better sign of the land than the white. Hero and there are some pine. llpruces. etc" all which Mr. Wright reckons symp. toms of 800d land-u mixture of pine augurs fully better thun mo“ hRPdWWd-l. beech and maple alone implies very dry land, pines alone wet land, the mixture implies due medium. Black birch (among beech and maple) when abundant, lgemg also to prove a sufficient degree or moisture and without some sign o! moisture the land has not sufficient strength for permanent hay, tho’ it will be good pasture and alternate tillage producing the best wheat and potatoes when manured. Black spruce alone shows land perfectly
