Notes By TIie Way

The United State! Government pleads that it is Justified in build- ing a navy "second to none" under the terms oi’ the mndon ‘Pi-eat!- But peace-lovers have to remem- ber that the United xinizdom has gone far beyond the sacrifices im- posed by that treaty. It should. moreover, be recalled that the Un- ited States is a compact power. comparatively immune from- attack by any nation, whereas Great Brit- ain depends upon securely-defend- ed sea routes for the food supplies of her people and for communica- tion with the far-flung sections of the Empire. The oceans are to the British Empire what internal rail- way lines are to the United States.

Wh'ie experts are still busy en- caged in figuring out by rule of thumb and by this and that econ- omic principle and doctrine how. the British Empire is to be saved for posterity, the business men of that Ebrtpire are apparently going steadily ahead with the development of trade within its contlnel. ' Much is heard of enormously In- creased production in Russia. Mbs- cow's latest is that production is three times igreater than in 1914. Given these figures are correct, it is a striking commentary on the dangers of collectivsim that with all tlfs increase there is throughouti the country a serious shortage of‘ all kinds of consumable goods. Rus- sia's avowed aim is by "planned na- tional economy" and elimination of private profit, toraise the geri-_ eral standard of living. It has been: trying to do this for more than ten years and the result so far is that the Soviet standard of living is the lowest in Europe.

USE AND DIISUSE OF MINERAL OIL

B) lane-a‘ W. THE

‘Those individuals who have tried in do without laxatives or purgatlves by eating fruit, raw vegetables, bran and other rough foods are to be praised because the regular use of drugs for this purpose is unwise. There are times of course when a dose of Epsom salts or castor oil is the best possible treatment; in fact the regular treatment with many physicians unless there is some ab- dominal condition where purgatives would be dangerous. '

Some are now using mineral oil. or Russian oil to help the {Stem get rid of its wastes, and if this plain. oil is taken in proper quantities it‘ is certainly a. simple and safe meth-

Early Scots in, Prince Edward Island

1M1‘. Fred Williams, the Toronto historian, writes that Tuesday o! this week was the anniversary of the day in i803 when the Selkirk fleet arrived at what is now Charlotte- town. There were three ships, the Polly the Dykes and the Oughteu, and they brought some 800 people from Skye, Ross, Argyll, Inveraess and Uist. They were, however, by no means the first Scots to settle on St. John's Island, as it was then named. As early as 1772 the chip Alexander landed 210 passengers from South Uist and the mainland; these are the "first families" of the island. Among them was the an- cestor 0t Sir William C. Mac- donald, the philanthropist o! Mont- real. Three years later a. ship, whole name has not been preserved, was wrecked on the north shore; a few of the immigrants were lost, but the majority got ashore and were soon settled; among the descendants of this party have been Chief Justice Stewart and Hon. J. D. Stewart, the present premier of the island. In 1790 a. large party lauded under the direction, material and spiritual, of

Grucnield in Journal Missouri Medical Association ‘state that although mineral oil is not af- fected by the action of the digestive juices, it is broken up in the same maruicr as fats although not to the same extent.

However mineral oil has proved itself so effective in preventing con- stipation by helping the waste to pass readily through the large in- testine, that the daily use of one half tablcspoonful or more of the oil for several days at a time is ad- vised.

The oil seems to prevent some of the liquids of the food from being

When in 1919 the Treaty of Ver- sailles was read by Max Weiber, thei German scholar and republican, hEj said to the friends who awaited his opinion: “Within ten years we shall all be nationalists."

Lloyd George has made n. slash- ing attack on the results of the Ot- tawa Conference, which leads a contemporary to remark: Now we know the Conference did well! .

absorbed into the body and this liquid, being still in the wastes, helps to make the wastes bulky, giving the muscles oi the intestine more to grasp and push downward. Naturally the muscles of the walls of the intestine with this bulk to handle are kept in much better tone or condition than when the wastes are dry and scanty. '

However, Drs. Newman and Gruenfeld. point out that if that quantity of oil used is too large, it may accumulate in the lower part. of the large intestine, act really as a sort oi irritant, which keeps the bowel over active and may cause spasm or cramps. ~

The thought then is that the use of mineral oil in suitable doses for a few days at a time may be help- ful when there is a tendency to constipation.

Too much mineral oil may cause irritation, cramps and spasms nf the muscles of the intcstine.

OLD CROW

'I'he bird in the corn

Is a marvellous crow.

He waslaid and was born

In the season of snow;

And he chants his old catches Like a ghost under hatches.

He comes from the shades 01 his wood very early,

And works in the blades

Of the wheat and the barley, And he's happy, although He's a grumblcton crow.

“Tribulations upon tribulations are annexed to my ribs" wrote Bishop Edmund; but space permits men- Ition of but one of his adventures.

Memorials .oi.' the Scottish pion- eers on the island are to be found in most of the cemeteries (and in nmny a private burying ground). The majority of their graves are well cared for, but probably the ' most important of the monuments to these pioneers of Prince Edward Island ls that in the French ceme- tery at Scotch Fort, 'I‘i-acadie. This granite memorial to the Clan Mac- Donald in Canida has four inscrip- tions on it, the chief being to the head of the clan. It reads:

Here lie deposited in the peace of Christ, awaiting the coming of the Judge of the living and of the dead, in the hope of a glorious resurrection and a happy immor- tality, the mortal remains of John MacDonald of Glenalladale, Esq. a Captain in His Majesty's 84th Regiment of Foot, who emigrated with his family to the Island, AD. i772; bringing with him a number of his clansmen from the Highlands of Scotland; and of Margaret his wife; and of Flora Anna Maria, their daughter, relict of the late Alex- ander MacDonneH, of Donaldston, Esq?’

Another side tells of the sisters of John MacDonald, Margaret, re- llct of the late Major MacDonald, of the West River, and Helen, and several of the chieftain's grand- children; while another side pays tribute to Rev. Augustine Mac- Donald, a Catholic missionary from the Highlands of Scotland, and of Donald MacDonald, who was killed in a naval action with the French in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, both lacing brothers of Chief John. The inscription on the west side is a link between the Island and Upper Canada, for it tells of Alexander MacDonnell of Donaldston, former- ly a lieutenant in the late Glen- garry Fenclbles of Upper Canada A. D. 1812, emigrated t0 this Island in 1861, and departed this life Oc- tober 26th, 1854. "Hereunder rest his remains in the peace of Christ, awaiting a glorious resurrection."

As Others See Us

(Boston Traveller)

Sixty per cent of the population of Prince Edward Island are per- sons over seventy years old, ao- cordlng to a bulletin issued by the Canadian National Railways.

This record of longevity on "the most prosperous and, atthe same itime, the most densely populated “section of Cana " is due, we are told. “in part to the vivifying air and tranquil life." Nearly all the rcsdents, aver 90 Pei- cent, are "na- tive born descendants of English, Scotch, Irish and French settlers". Most of them fish, farm or hunt.

UNEMPLOYMENT

555-111,; unemployment situation in Charlottetown is serious. Many strung, willing workers are sitting 0n our parks and squares all day 1on3 with apparently no prospects o! work this summer. Many of these men are fathers with families. Something should be done to relieve the situation. This ulty is not like other towns and municipalities throughout Canada. where mining and manufactui-lns industries exist. theworkin! P0P"- lation are made up of immigrants and men oi different nationalities, who became citizens when times were flourishing and since the de- ‘pression have 10st their jobs and are numbered with the unemnlvyed- In those towns the authorities are do- ing everything possible to put men back to work and are distributing unemployment rellei to their fam- ilies until such time as conditions improve. The civic governments are spending a greatdeal of money in feeding families who are really strangers to them.

m Charlottetown, ninety-five per cent. of the Luiemployed men and their families are native citizens who lived here all their lives. In many cases their forefathers lived all their lives here and spent all their earn- ings in this city. Many of our men are in very bad circumstances. They have been out of employment for a year or more. Iii other words they an; hard up, hungry, and in many cases destitute. How could they be any other way? Just consider one hundred and fifty men now at the waterfront, members of L. P. U., all out of employment. with the ex- ception of one week, when a steam- er cargo of salt was discharged, these men have earned only from three to four dollars each fortnight since the opening of navigfltlfln- Then we have four hundred or more laboring men, carpenters, bricklay- ers and other good tradesmen seek- ing employment. Many of these men are in dire need and something must be done very soon. Then we have a younger class just coming to manhood, who are also willing to 5am their 1lvelihood if only a chance were open for them. Many 0f W! aged worklngmen say they can not recall such hard times as the pres- ent. Other provinces are about to commence extensive highway pro- jgctg and a great many towns are
