Much of the legislation involved considerable discussion and in some cases, naturally, differences of opinion.

NOTES lav THE WAY

The orgy of extravagance and waste goes on at Ottawa. Premier King and his colleagues in the Gov- ernment lead the way. if he were the Sovereign of Canada and they were Princes of the Realm by right of inheritance something of the costly pomp and luxury now flauit- led i n the face pf the people might be tolerated. But, this ‘oping of roy- alty with a tlnsél crown by “a King of shreds and patches," and a cot- erio of would-be Prlncellngs with- out msrit, holding office and power by usurpation and sustained only by a corrupt bargain, calls loudly for public condemnation and must arouse disgust in every thought- ful mind.

Senator Bennett has turned a scarchlight upon certain features of this spendthrllt riot, ravolry and waste at the capital, as was told in our now columns the other day. It came in an Ottawa's despatch, but

party organs will not have it ob- trutled upon their notice. It is safer to put such despatches in the waste basket en route to the furnace‘! ln part it was a tale of motor cars. the sumptuous chariots which at- tend the stats of Premier King and his satellites. Regal dignity and splendor cannot be maintained without a limousine and other lux- urious equipment of proportionate magnificence and cost. \

it would be derogatory to the dignity of a King or a Minister of State to drive his own chariot. Hc must needs have a driver provided by tho nation, a royal or princely chuuflr-tir. But could the chauffeur be permitted to drive in plnln, 0rd lnary clothes? Perish the thought! As if his lord and master were rid- ing in some contemptible taxi! The must have a

Sir,—Much credit ls undoubtedly due our civic authorities for what they have done towards the ini- provement and adornment of our town. But if it may be said that Charlottetown is, during the sum- mer months, one of the prettiest towns in Canada, the credit is just as certainly due to ihdlvidual householders who have painted their houses ahd smoothed their lawns, planted shrubs and trees and otherwise improved the appear- ance of their premises. ll. is to be hoped that every citizen house- holder, on every street, will see to it that his premises are put in c d- er and improved early this spr g. When each house alud lawn is at its best, the whole town will be a de- light to its residents and, more im- portant from the financial point of view, to all the strangers who come here to have a pleasant visit. and spend their uionsy.

The same effect will be produced in: the country when all our fields near the railway, as well as those bordering on our principal high- ways, are smiling; and all the farmsteads on either side are look- ing their best in fresh coats of paint and whltcwa-sh. w tb orch- ards in bloom or fruitage surround- irni-Z them.

lvhcther in town or country now is the time to begin the good work of tidying, improving, and beauti- fying. ‘

_-__¢o->_____. INDUSTRIAL DECLINE

Some idea of the decline of Can- adian industries durlng the Mac- Keuzie Klnil regime may be infer- red from the reply given in the House of Commons the other day by_tho ‘Hon. Mr. Robb to s question as to the value of farming imple- ments manufactured in Canada in the pant few years. The reply was as follows:

in 1920, . . . . . . . . ‘ . . . .. 344.073.1347 " 1921. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 303.763.1150 “ 1022. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18,240,381

fours uniform $108.

That was the car bill for three Ministers only out of l7, last year, $11,307. Say the price of two fair- ly good farms. What could better illustrate the old proverb. “Put a beggar on horse-back and he'll ride to the devil?" And what arc these men but beggars and bank- rupts in statesmanshlp, or in car for the people, the workers of Cou- uda, whose substance they aro wasting? Sir John Macdouulrl was wont lo walk to his office, as tho writer of tboso notes has often soon him. ln time of’ storm or in wintcr, Pat Buckley drovo him lu a carriage or sleigh no more pre- tentious than the ordinary hack we see about Charlottetown. Pat woro no livery nor uniform at the public cost, it is needless to say. And Sir John's home at Stadacona was far from his office.

Plain men of the people, and re- gardful of the pcoplo wore the loud- crs in the days when ‘statesman- ship was in flower in Cnnadn. They did not ask to be waited upon by uniformed or llvorlcrl flunkies at the public cost. They needed no such trappings and tinsel to pro- claim their right to sit in the coun- cils of the Dominion. They did not waste the people's substance in an orgy of extravagance such as now prevails. Today by tho examples set at Ottawa waste and prodigal- lty are exalted as virtues and econ- omy ls esteemed a vice. Such an example speaks louder than words.

It is other people's money these riotous revellers are spending, not their own! lt is borrowed money, too, which the people and their children for generations to come unt repay in taxes and in servi- tude. For it ls as true today as it always was that “the borrower is servant to the lender." Taxes and servitude for the people. the work- ers; pampered luxury for the King government nabobs, their suppor- tors, satellite! and llverlod flun- kles at Ottawa. 8o the orgy goes on and four men whom we sent from this Province to the House of Commons cheer on the peck! The orgy goes on and will go on until

A THOUGHT ABOUT lN/SULIN

That Dr. Banting is deserving of the gratitude of tho entire world goes without saying.

'l‘hat bcshoulti have been award- cd the Nobel prize likewise pleased the civilized world.

His discovery has saved the lives of thousands of pe0ple at. ready, and has relieved the suffer- ings df thousands more.

But there is just one that comes to mo.

l refer to the adult sufferers of diabetes.

What has been the outstanding factor in the liver of the majority ot‘ them '.'.

Their very generous appetite, and the eating of great quantities of food. .

These foods were not necessarily

the ‘sugars and starches, but even tho meats, eggs, and the fats. What was the effect of all this foodi’. lt simply was not burned that's all. it put such an enormous amount of work upon all the organs of the body that these organs got worn. or partly worrlptlt, and were un- able to do their work. This means that tbs body is like n motor engine full of carbon. Tho gas is consumed all right plenty of it, but you don't get the heat and energy.

And it is thus with a diabetic.

in the case of diabetic people the whole treatment is cutting down. on the starches. This makes the work of the pancreas much easier.

However, don't get the idea that the original cause of diabetes ls the eating of too much starchy food.

As a matter of fact, the one thing, too much food, and too little exercise ls the real cause of diabet- cs.

So if you have a diabetic tendency, watch your diet. and cut down on your starches. if you still continue to lose weight and strength then Insulin is iudlcntml.

Chocolate M Drink

Europe concerned not with bread alone, is making a celebration over the four hundredth anniversary over the introdcutlon of chocolate. There are befitting observances in old cities whero the. chocolate cup had its ceremony in days when men wore wigs. The can of chocolate on the kitchen shelf may seem a can und nothing more, in this prosaic age. But if you open it arlght you find it is in truth a casket of many memories. Thurs come from it amusing tales of the French court in days when lovo was played as comedy. Here aro men roasting alive on coals in savage splendid cities: here are prim lean men ea- ger to prohibit [the new drink, which. they say, will undermine the English people. Eccleslastlcs dis- pute over the chocolate cup——does it break tho fastl-as once they argued the number of angels that might dance on a needhis point. Tories gather t sip, forming them selves info tho>flrst of clubs while they regard with haughty eye tbs drinkers of mere tea and coffee. Pepys jots in his diary a not on the new drink, jocolatte: "Very good". And far away from his London, in little mountain valleys of Spain. there lurk traditions of vague dev- ils, Goya figures, whose strength. like their blackness, lay in the strange food bestowed on earth by a heathen demon, says tho New York Times.
