The recognition of Mr. Mc- Cready's eighty-sixth anniversary ls well-merited. The pleasing thing is there is no politics in it, both Lib- eral and Conservative uniting in paying respects to one who has given his services ungrudgiiigly in the public interest.

The merits of the case in dispute should riot ‘be dismissed when eon. slderlng relief for U110 strike suffer- ers in the Sydneye. Nor should the responsibility or otherwise of either Provincial or Dominion government be discussed. These may be mag. fcrs of opinion.

‘ was then given out that the Great

Stit-tesman had changes his plans. instead of bluwiug the Senate ‘to ‘siui-therccns at once ‘there would be a Conference of the Federal and ProvlncinlfGovrnnicnts on ‘the great question of Senate Reform. .

Since thsn the Mighty Man at the Head s: Affairs at Ottawa i...‘ heard from Quebec. l; was under- date. oi‘ March 27 and this was the message:

"Without I dissenting voice.

the Members of the Quebec Legislative Assembly today voted against the idea of any infringement on the Bri-tish North _America Act through changing the character or in- tegrfty of the. Canadian Sen- ate." Hands off the Senate! is the mau- diite of Quebec, Liberal and Tory alike. without a dissenting vote. And it will be obeyed! Why?

. At the dart federal election Quo- iiae Moms a solid quota of as gnbérsi members. Onily 11s Liber- als were elected in the entire Dom- ini0f1—0n.ly 50 outside of Quebec. The; is a sufficient reason why Quebec's mandate will now be obeyed. iBut -there is another rea- son also. Quebec made Mackenzie _King ‘leader of the Liberal party to succeed Sir Wilfrid. Laurler. Que- hee made him what he is, gave him Imurlefis, sent, and flt“ Quebec knows, and well Mr Mackonze King knows. that it can break at will the hollow idol it set up in ‘the seats of the mighty. ‘ '

it is more than a mandate that the Quebec Legislative Assembly hen Issued. it is a rebuke and a warningas were never ‘before flung in the face of a Canadian political lender ‘by so large and so repm. sentive a body of his former sup- Wrters-lllld followers. Let who will ser-acli the political annals of the

and no parallel for i_t can be (ouurl.

Premier King is not only rebuked He‘ ls humiliated. Between ‘tlic lines 0f the Quebec message ls the implied suggestion that ho shall erit his own words and abandon his ut- tack on the Senate. Wo believe he will. it seems to b1‘. a case of being ‘further humiliate-l if he submits and being politically damned if be refuses. He will awni- low the bitter pl‘li which the Quebec LQ-ixlslatuite has handed him, for without its support he is powerless as abs-by. l-le sought to humiliate the Sahara and ‘beforeiie had struck Pl ‘NOW hit-i has made himself a fitt- inl: subject, of it‘s contempt and de- ifslon. Willing to ‘wound he is for- bid to strike.

incidentally, the Quebec Legisla- ture hao also given m warning against "any infringement of tho British North Amerbcn Act." That Great Charter of ‘Provincial rights and liberties commands that when a vacancy occurs in the Senate ray death or otherwise it shall be promptly filled by a new appoint‘- ment. That, article of ‘the Constit- ution the King Government has vio- lated‘ from day to day during months past, -

As-mu before been pointed out in than columns. Prince Edward Island has been deprived of one‘ half its rightful reperseutation in the Senate during the present session of Parliament in open violation of the Constitution by the‘ King Gov- ernment. ‘ln only less degree the entire Maritime section of the Dom- inion has been and is being defraud- ed of its sacred right of repersentn- tion by a ‘law-less Ailrnlnistratlon. The Constitution is floated and set at. nought as if it did not exist by a ministry to whom no compact. is binding.

A European physician has. been investigating that distressing eon- dition, gas formation in the in- testine. z

llls observation was that it was ‘found only among “white collar men." “- _ _

We can "hardly ‘admit. that this is altogether true in this country. because a great many of our women folk are likewise affected.

However his other observations. that too much food and lack of ex- ercise art causative factors will find us. in agreement, ' ,

There can be no question but that men and women, World!!! "m! their brains, sitting at desks most of the day ,are going to have trou- ble with gas, ,

The hurried meals of strange mixtures or combinations of food. are bound to have their revenge upon the system.

Thetrouble is-often due to ner- vousness or hurry, which naturally interferes with the nerves that control the‘ muscles of the intes- tine, so that these muscles only do their work in a half hearted man- ner. .

This means that the waste from the food which is in tho large in- testine doesn't get moved along ‘last. enough and begins to ferment. ' This fermentation forms gas, and thus the pressure becomes annoy- lug and often painful. '

As the muscles of the wall do not have much better success ln mov- ing the gas along, than with the food, a. constant state of distress ls the portion of many of these patients, ,

0f course there is no question but the importance of this condi- tlon is so magnified by some, that the very worry from it actually in- tenslifles. the condition.

And also it must be admitted iliiit,ln severe abdominal conditions that this gas formation ls an un- favorable sign, .

However in the ordinary every- tluy cases, whcre there is noact- ual obstruction in the intestine. there are two or three things that can be of hell). . ...-'

First, the patient should try tp get his mind away from the coridl- tion which is not in itsslt serious, and endeavor to locate the. cause.

lt may be hurry, worry, pr some ‘slight. infection somewhere.‘ He ishouid eat slowly of a well mixed idiot with slight rest before and ‘Hitter meals.

' if certain foods seenrto be__the use, omit the_m from the diet. The old fashioned baking soda is still a standby,‘ when gas ls hi) 'lilgh in abdomen, and the soap and water injection when the ‘gas is lower down.
