From that date until the present monthly quotations are given, showing a steady rise from 3.26 to 9.25 in June, 1935. "The advance which began in January, 1933," says the report, "was due to the export outlet opened up by the Ottawa Agree- ment. During the yea-r under re- view its value to the hog producers of Canada can safely be estimated at $40,000,000. But for the outlet which it opened up for Canada's surplus product, Canadian hogs would probably have sold through- out the year at prices approximate- ly the same as those of January, lean."

RURAL MAIL‘ CASE

Elsewhere in today's issue appears notice oi an important meeting of ‘the Mail Contractors‘ in Queens . County, to be held in the new Board m o1 the City I-Iali tomorrow g vening. The meeting is for organ- ' ization purposes. The occasion is a _ timely reminder oi the unfortunate conditions under which the Rural . Mall Contractor carries on his work. vIJnlike other postal employees, he fworks on the contract plan, and inust compete every year for re- jiewal of his contract. This means lithst he must cut his own wages to {who point which does not aflord ildequate remuneration. sometimes . the contract figure is so low that it does not pay the cost oi a team, far less the services of a compet- ‘ent man. What the Mail Contrac- tors ask for is that the Contract Bystem be abolished, and in its place a salary plan introduced, similar to the manner in which all other postal employees are engaged. The proposition is a reasonable one, and carries the approval of newspapers and public men oi both political parties. The Rural Mail -Carr'iers are deserving of the full- "est public support in presing their petition that action be taken in this matter.

It appears that Canada's mem- bership of the league of Nations ‘costs us $200,000 per annum. We have. therefore, more than a casual interest in the proceedings and transactions oi the organization.

Mr. King thinks that both Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, were they alive today, would unite and congratulate him on his "wait and see" pibn oi cam- paign. He will have another "think" coming before he is much older.

The unanimous opinion. almost, of political students is that the Liberals cannot possibly win the llledcral election: The Conservatives will retain Piiwer, it may be with a coalition, but they are bound to be the dominant party.

The formal protest sent by the Japanese Government to the Wash- ington Government over a cartoon in an American magazine cynically entitled "Japan's Emperor gets the Nobel Peace Prize," recalls a sim- ilar incident when Kaiser William II of Germany dismissed his old adviser Bismark. Punch published a cartoon entitled "Dropping the Pilot," which roused lndignatim in Germany, and led to the Kaiser personally protesting to his Royal relatives in England.

Evidently the USA. citizens are solving for-themselves the ques- tion of depopulation. The number of inhabitants was increasing so rapidly that the Government re- sorted to quotas to restrict immigra- tion. Now it appears one out oi every three married couples in the United States is classed as "child- less" by census bureau experts. The lest exact count was in 1930. when the percentage oi couples without children stood at 31.9. A new study estimates the flrcentage now has moved higher. There were 23,352,990 couples in 1930. 0f which 7,447,328 had no children. Famil- ies having one child numbered 5,- those having two children, 4,240,469; three children, 2,850,730; four 0r more. 3,758,610. City couples had fewer children than rural families.

To cultivate friends who do not flflilltulate under misfortune is to lay up treasures right here upon earth. IFOX‘, after all, to have such a friend or two, and to be the kind of a friend that you would like to have, is to be successful in one of themajor tasks of life. There is a foolish notion abroad that by idle flattery or through an accumulation 0i "obligations" thrown to another there is created an anchorage dur- ing storm times. But this never w:rks out. The only honest and substantial anchorage is independ- ence of mind and conduct, thrift, a respect for one‘s bodily machine. and a wholesome and happy out- look upon life.

PERNIGIOUS ANAEMIA THOUGH A PERMANENT CONDITION CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY TREATED

When Dr. Banting oi Toronto dis- coverd that insulin, a juice obtain-l ed from the pancreatic gland, would enable the blood in the diabetic to use sugar to maintain strength and ‘energy instead of having it thrown out of the body in the urine the “cure" for diabetes was said to have been found.

Insulin is not the cure for dia- betes-—there is no cure as yet-but as lnstilin enables most diabetics to go about their work, enjoy life and live as long as other people, it really makes no difference about the finding of a "cure" at present.

Similarly when Drs. Minot and Murphy, Boston, discovered that calf’s liver would make rich red corpuscles in the blood enabling pat- ients with pernicious anaemia to continue to live instead oi dying in one or two years. it was sald that the “cure" for this formerly incur- able disease had been found. And in a sense liver is a cure as many pat- ients can go of! the liver diet for weeks at a time.

However, Just as insulin is needed regularly and must be used daily by patients with diabetes, so also must patients with per.rileious- anaemia take liver in some form always. _

Thus Dr. J. W. Wilkinson in the Practitioner, Iondon, points out:

"The fundamental principle underlying the successful treatment of pernicious anaemia is that lt must be recognized as a permanent condition-not enough red corpusc- les and iron in the blood--and so the red corpuscles and iron must be replaced in the blood by liver, liver extract, extract of hog's stomach." These must be given in sufficiently large amounts to maintain the blood in a normal condition and keep the patient free from symptoms.

"This means that he blood must be examined about every three months and the amount of liver or the extracts must be increased or decreased according‘ to the condi- tion of the blood. If there are any signs, however, slight, oi nervous symptoms, the treatment must be continued in full doses."

"The prognosis-the likely out- come-is good provided the above points are kept in mind and ade-

Hon. Mackenzie King has declar- ed that appeals to electors will be made for the most part to “Preju- dices" and "Feeling and Sentiment." I have n_o doubt the l-IonfR. B. Ben- nett's rejoinder will be, "I will choose Mr. King's disgarded quality, and appeal to your "Intelligence."

The reason for the Liberal pi-c- ference of “prejudice" rather than “intelligence? is easily seen. Post experience has helped. He cannot exploit depression, his present inalii- stay and hope, by any appeal to the knowledge and sound judgment of the people.

°l 000 of Canadian National uncom- pletecl expenditures, $21,327,000 o! other obligations (part unauthor- ized) making the colossal sum of $254,327,000. would anyone be fool- ed into believing a government which goes out of office leaving such a burden of debt in prosperous limes could do any better in times of de- pression? Liberals will say that from 1921 to 1930 Canada's finan- cial positlon was steadily improved. This is how it was improved.

Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Minister of Finance, issued recently the state- ment of the Dctninionk direct and indirect debt, as shown by public accounts covering the period from April 1. i922, to Mar. 31 1930. 1n- stead of the net, debt be ng reduced ‘during that time, it increased by the large sum of $127,466,780. To this must be added temporary loans to C. N. R. outstanding at Mar. 81, 1930, and later assumed by the Conserva- tive Government. Under guaranteed or direct loans amounting to $38.- 349142 in all, an adverse position of $l65.8l5.922 was the result of nine years of Liberal stewardship. Following is the statement of Mr. odes:
