Nova Scotia‘: Altitude

.1110 following paragraph from the Speech from the Throne, read at the opening of the Nova Scotia Legis- lature, will be of interest to everyone in this Province. We advise our read- ers to clip it for comparison with the Governor's address at the opening of the Legislature in this Province to- lnorrow:

"The Audit Board oi Canada

has communicated with my Gov- ernment, contemplating an inves- tigation of the subsidies payable to the Province of Nova Scotia from the Treasury _of Canada. While my Government is prepar- ed to render every assistance to the Audit Board in its inquiry, it is apparent that the terms of the recommendations of the Duncan Commission on Maritime Claims have a far wider scope than is competent to the Audit Board's inquiry. In consequence my Gov- ernment will again press for full implementation of the recom- mendations in that Report, not merely as respecting grants for the machinery oi government, debt allowances, and consideration be- cause of territorial limitations, but also as respecting other remedial measures recommended, that yet await fulfilment."

The Government of Nova Scotia, says the Halifax Herald, will have the backing oi the_ whole people of the Province in the stand taken and restated above. It will also have the approval of the people of this Prov- ince. Such e. straightforward state- ment is worth all the political man- oeuvering the Saunders Government has done or will do in the interests of our subsidy claims.

Siill No Action

It is now about three weeks since the drunken brawl in Prince Coun- ty Jail which resulted in the severe beating up oi the jailer. The fracas, es stated befdg was but one oi a series of scandalous episodes occur- in: in the mu agement oi that insti- tution within the past twelve months I-all‘ pointing unmistakably to the fact that liquor is being freely pro- eta-ed and consumed within the very Dlfivillcts of the jail. The public'by this time is well aware of the cir- cumstances, despite the obstinate re- fusal oi tho Liberal press to discuss the matter. It was expected, in view of the seriousness of the situation, that the Government would hold an immediate enquiry and would issue an authoritative statement by way of explanation. So far as we arc aware, however, no such enquiry has been made. Certainly no statement has been forthcoming, nor is there ‘any intimation that the Govern- ment or its party organ feel the slightest responsibility in the matter. The only effect of the exposure has been to prod the Government organ into frantic and furious abuse oi what it terms, with parrot-like reiter- ation, the "wet" element; meaning thereby the element that is frankly disgusted with political prohibition and desires to substit ‘ for it some- thing that’ will at least have the mer- it of sincerity.

Our Dairymerfe Handicap

growers looked forward rather than back, planted a good acreage and as a result won out with excellent pric- es. Had ‘they been advised, howev- er, that the producers of some other

country where potatoes aflgood as their own could be grown at much

less cost, were preparing to under. sell them on the American market and to dump five or ten million bush- esl on the Canadian market under a preferential tarlfl low enough to enable the imported potatoes to be sold at a few cents a. bushel lea than the home product, there would be every reason for our growers to be discouraged. They would then be in very much the same position that

What are the present prospects of the dairy industry in this country? According to Government statistical reports, the quantity of butter held in storage throughout Canada on

February lst was over double that oi last year on the same date. This

surplus, together with subsequent heavy shipments landed in Halifax, Eifords anything but encourage- ment to our dairy farmers. These facts, we submit, are of far more importance than the estimated aver- age prices of butter last year or in any preceding years, for they have a direct bearing on the prospects of the industry this year.

The Horse Holds His Own

Notwithstanding the apparent competition oi motor cars of various kinds, the day oi the horse is by no means passed. On the contrary, the report oi the Minister oi Agri- culture for Canada for the year end- ed March 31, i929, states that during the fiscal year just closed the horse market was quite active, the demand being considerably keener than dur- ing the previous year. Ontarlo, dur- ing the calendar year 192s bought upwards of l0,000 horses from the western provinces, while Quebec took 12,000 and the Maritime Provinces about 3,000, making a total oi 25,000 for the year. There was considerable activity in horse-breeding in the five eastern provinces, with the result that there were more colts in the country in the ‘spring oi i920 than at any time during the past half dozen years.

Editorial Notes

The tactics oi the Liberal organ with respect to the prohibition situ- ation are characteristic of a journal- ism usurplng the seat oi judgment when it should be apologizing in the dock.

Our contemporary has found an appropriate source oi editorial inspir- ation in Mother Goose. There is, however, a. serious flaw in its appli- cation of the nursery text chosen for Saturday. The prohibition Humpty Dumpty who had the "great fall" has no connection whatever with The Guardian.

A Baltimore editor, who has been in England to watch the Naval Con- ference, has shaken the dust oi that country cfl his feet with the remark that although the English laws for the control oi the liquor traffic, with their licenses and closing hours are

Many oi the Liberal members from that province are strongly op- posed to any such ban, and even when the Premier did take his cour- age in both hands and told the cau- cus his determlnation, he was bitter- ly opposed by Quebec members.

“Canada must benefit enormously by legislation of this kind," he said. “It will be a good thing for all con- cerne<i—more Americans will come to Canada and business folk will benefit instead oi bootlcggers.

"What the prime minister proposes to do is the only logical and decent thing that can be done. we should show some respect for the law of the Unlteu States. No right-thinking Ca- nadian would take another view."

Perhaps you have had the idea that the liver was just a large soft organ that simply filtered out the starchy particles from the blood coming from the small ll iestine, and Iidflllfl them away in the form of sugar for future use. And the liver is so big that it has been mic to do this wit-flout dif- faculty.

However our research men have been finding that this large organ can increase or decrease in size when the need arises.

For instance any exciting emotion such as sudden noise decreases the whereas injecting sugar solutions into the veins causes an increase in its size.

It was found that vomiting ‘also increases its size.

Now when you remem“ the tre- mendous size of the liver, the largest and heaviat organ, and that it holck one quarter of all blood oi the body. then you can see the importance of ability to increase or decrease in else when necessary.

Thus if the liver decreases in size it means more blood available for the rest of the body. and when it increases in size there will ‘be that much less.

And the volume of blood coursing through the vessels of the body in- fluences the entire system-mental and physical-in that, the blood is where it is needed most "at any one time.

Now not withstanding the ability of the liver to increase m- deer-use in sine if the need arises, if you wear tight clothing, or sit or stand i" 11 ¢flmllfid or stooped position, you can interfere to some extent, with the increasing or decreasing sunny 0g m; litusi". ~

By Standing or sitting erect, and taking Ions or deep breaths you will squeeze and relax the liver and thug help the blood to flow through it more rapidly.

DIUNK! AGAIN

Sir,-'ihere was much discussion and mucheffort. put forth by the temperance people to have, the Act amended so that magistrates, before whom drunks were on trial, could compel the drunks, upon oath to tell from whom they procured the li- quor. After a hard fight this amend- ment was secured.

The supply of drunks in such courts has increased plentifully, but how many of them have been forced to cash in under this law? Where are the inspectors on those occasions? Why isjhls question so insidlously dodged sway from? Are the Govern- ment afraid that it might implicate- some of those in high favor? Is the danger of reaching the‘ top sources of supply too great to risk?

PRDHLBITION IN U. S.

Sin-The estion is often asked, -Wlll pro ltion survive in the United States? Local conditions in- spire the hope that it is under the same handicaps as in this Province. Those hopes are ill founded and groundless. '

When the United States takes n matter in hand they carry it through. Their methods are too democratic to permit defeat. Their mode of operation is as different to ours as chalk is to cheese.

There they get after the profes- sional bootlegger; here they skin his victims. There they employ men oi more than average intelligence to enforce their laws. There the law is placed in the officers hands to be enforced without regard to degree or‘ to persons. v

Notice how quickly, and frequently they send the rum runner to the bottom with a bail from a cruiser. Nor does wealth escape as it does here. See where men, high up in the social scale and in political influ- ence, are gathered in in scores, in- dicted by their grand juries; and committed, for trial for violation of liquor laws. Ever hear oi the like of that in p .152. Island? ' ‘

Then look, at the immense liquor seizures, running __\lp mm. the 541.. liohsor scum. High she 10w, rich and poor, prince and peasant, all are requlredvto obey their law's, or take the consequences. No monkeying with the hip-pocket flask and con- doning the car ldad.

But you must not think that that only ls London. Right in the heart of the Metropolis there are great stretches of parks and gardens, such as Hyde Park, Remington Gardens, Regents, St. James and Green Parks, con- taining thousands of acres, besides mam! lesser ones, all contributing to the rest and recreation of the public; magnificent breathing places, with ponds and lakes, where numerous

waterfowl may be seen, and so tame are they that they will often follow and eat out of one's hand. .In these beautiful resting places, some parts

having stately; statuary and playing

fountains, are immense beds containing great banks of flowers, adapted to all seasons, which in spring and summer are a blaze of color, also an immense variety of

"shrubs, small trees, magnificent oaks,

beeches, chestnuts and countless others, lining long vistas oi delightful scenery and surpassed nowhere. Large sectionsof these parks are used for sports, where may often be seen tennis, cricket, and croquet par- ties, and to make it still more at- tractive there ynre‘ numerous free benches where four or five can sit together, as well as hundreds of thousands of single chairs, where you can occupy one for a whole day for the sum of two pence. In Hyde Park is situated the celebrated spxace cal- led "Rotten Row," one and a half miles long and reserved for horse- back riders. The ornamental lake called the Serpentine, a beautiful sheet of water where boating parties may nearly always be seen, except in winter, is situated in Hyde Park, and nearby ls the "bandstand" which is occupied nearly every afternoon in summer by '8. first-class band.
