Mr. Sharp's Nomination

If further evidence were required of ‘ the strong conservative sentiment] throughout the Province at the pres- ‘ ant time it was furnished at Portage, \ Prince County, Wednesday night, , where a convention for the nominaJ, tlon of a Conservative candidate to aonmt, the seat in Second _Pr'rnce. vacated by Ex-Preinler Saunders. was held, and where the greatest enthus- iasm prevailed. The attendance was exceptionally large and repraenta- tive, and the choice of the convention unanimously fixed upon Mr. c. shel- ton Sharp. prominent farmer and fox breeder. a man of outstanding character and ability and one who. ‘it is conﬁdently believed, will can‘; the party standard successfully in the forthcoming by-eicction.

The recent Conservative landslide in federal politics. coupled wit-h the prevailing widespread dissatisfaction avith the present provincial admin- istration, makes the nomination of a man of m. Sharp's status in the community particularly signiﬁcant. Behind him Mr. Sharp will have not only the undivided support of his aarty but the approval of many sin- cere Liberals to whom the failure of the present administration to fulfill its election pledges, particularly with regard to honest and efficient en- Qorcement of the prohibition law. has i been a subject of shame and scandal. i ‘There is no section of the Province more law abiding or more desirous of seeing the law competently and im- enforced than the people of the Second District of Prince. For this reason we believe that many. ir- respective of party affiliation, will i, hail with satisfaction the opportunity “ of indorsing lvfr. Sharp's candidat- ure at the polls.

The various issues in the provincial political field were fully dealt with at the convention by Hon. J. D. Stew- art, K. 0., the Conservative leader,‘ and other speakers. The enthusiastic‘ manner in which these speeches were 1 received was also signiﬁcant of much. It is evident that the Conservative flowing tide, which swept the Pro- vince on July 28th, is rising more ltrongly than ever, and that the el- ectors are but awaiting the opportun- ity of placing in line with the pro- gressive Conservative Government at Ottawa a local administration with‘ which it will be able to work har- i moiiiously and in the best interests, cf the Province.

British Opinion I

-r—-—?-——?-—-

The prediction of the Liberal press that opposition to the Dunning Bud- get. with its humbug gesture about increasing the scope cf Imperial pref- erence, would arouse antagonism against Canada and prejudice our in- Eerests with Great Britain. has prov- en to be as unreliable as were other pre-election predictions emanating from the same source. The latest au- thoritative statement on the subject If intro-imperial trade policies was made by Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin, leader of the British Conservative party. Speaking at Worcester on Aug. Ird. Mr. Baldwin said:

"What can be and will be done is to grant reciprocal preferences; we will give advantages and they (the Domlnions) will give advantages, and in that way a great deal can be done. That is our course-ex- actly the same course as that of Mr. Bennett. the new Prime Min- ister of Canada."

This v‘ dicatiou on the part of a British statesman of the judgment of the Canadian people at the polls on July 28th leaves nothing to be said. 1f further corroboration were needed, however, it. could be found in a rec- ent editorial on the results of the election in Canada which appeared in the London Times. a newspaper acted for the accuracy with which it. reflects the sentiment of the sound business and political element in Great Britain. The Times thus dis- poses of the lo-called patriotic cam- paign put on by supporters of the de- funct Mankind! King administra- llﬂﬂi '

ANOTHER. POINT ABOUT IN EPILEPSY

FOOD

‘siology is to compare the body to a lmachine or steam boiler. Coal is the ‘fuel for the steam boiler and food is the fuel for the body; each giving plieat and energy, 1 However food not only gives heat iand energy but it also gives growth to the child. ‘ And the big difference is that the ,coal never becomes a part of the isteam boiler, whereas food not only lgives heat. energy, and growth, but ‘actually becomes the tissues of the 'boby-—the body itself. i Now with the ordinary healthy ibody practically all kinds of foods imay be eaten, but if anything goes ‘wrong with the body. then not nu ‘foods are suitable, ‘so that certain foods must not be eaten.

For instance for years it has been known. that starches were not good ‘food for diabetic patients, that salty foods should not be given to patients (with kidney ailments. On the other hand cod liver oil was found to be (excellent food for children suite lwith rickets. and that fat in the diet. had been found to help greatly in preventing attacks of epilepsy.

looked by some physicians in their natural enthusiasm in the use cf fats in these epileptic cases.

“During the period of active growth in boys and girls, there is normally a storage of protein in the form of new tissue, and a positive nitrogen bal- ance is established in the body." This is absolutely essential to health. The usual protein in the diet is 1 part proteld (meat and eggs). 2 parts fats (milk. butter and cream), and 4 parts I vegetables and bread.

Now in feeding cases of epilepsy the rule has been to cut down on the starches and increase the fats. leav- ing- the proteid foods (meat and eggs) 1 part, fats 3 parts, and‘ vege- tables 1 part.

However Dr. Irvine McQuarrie. has investigated this nitrogen balance

(obtained from meat and eggs) and says that it is not obtained for the body unless the supply of meat and eggs is really doubled in the diet ‘of ' young epileptics.

This means then that the average

110111913’ youngster needs I part meat ifmnlvﬂﬁ-

or eggs to 2 parts fats, t.o 4 parts vegetables and bread. and the one rubject to epilepsy should really take twice as much meat and eggs daily. Mothers should remember that some protein food meat. eggs, or milk-animal foods - should enter

THE UT UT OF BOOKS lliibat i ° P

One of the-most lstonishing fes-

may r

steady increase in the output of books. ‘Ihisisoutofakpropmiontothe ‘increase in population and. there- ifore, of putative readers. Figures of ‘an illuminating charuier have just been supplied by The mbllsher and ‘Bookseller in lhglend which show that for the first six months of the current year 8.017 new books were published. this being an increase of 40.45 per cent over the 5,708 books issued uring the corresponding period of 1929. This means that if the rate of increase is maintained to the end of the year-and present indic- ations shown no sign of abatement- the total cut-put of new books in Great Britain for 1930 will unount to nearly eighteen thousand. ‘The total for the United States ls generally a little loss than that for the Old Country. so that the books published for the two great Anglo- Saxon peoples of the world during the current, year are likely to reach the amazing total of tliirt,_v-five thou- sand. What this means in the actual number of books printed is sensa- tional, ls it would run up to many mlllcns. One thing is proved beyond the shadow of s. doubt. The present generation is a reading generation Nor does it confine its reading solely ‘to friction. An examination of public library records, here, in the United ‘States, and in Britain shows that _a very fair proportion of the books iread are books oi science. philosophy ipcezw, travel, ma techenical litera-
