and 7 of Part 1 cl thc Public Ac- counts, crullt is taken twice in the total $1,483,451.35 for the sum of $24,465 83. No flnessing or juggling with terms can gainsay this. On the expenditure side immediately above the total of $1,483,45l_35. 311199515 the sum of $72,731.33 which includes the following; Ordinary debentures 518,515.50. Highway debentures $29.- 750, and Interest on Investments, $24,465.83. This total is then carried to the Revenue side and is shown above the total $1,483,451.35, as Ad- dition! to Sinking Fund $72,731.33. That, of course, we ilave shown. includes “Interest on Investments $24,465.83.“ But, also, on the Revenue side the Accounts take credit for this amount in a. total of $27,389.95 made up as follows; Premium on De- bentures sold—unapproprlated, $1,- 924.12, Interest on Sinking Fund In- vestments, $24,465.83, Difference on Gasoline Provision, $1,000. Thus in Chg grand total of $1,403,451.35, the sum of $24,465.83 is made to appear twice on the Revenue side-once in the $27,389.95 sum, and again in the sum of 572731.33: while it appears only once on the expenditure side of $1,483,451.35, namely in the item

"Interest on Investments" $24,465.83,

included in the figures $72,731.33,

No amount of ccntriving on the part of the Government can possi- bly alter these facts, nor has thc Public Accounts Committee succeed- ed in explaining how the Govern- ment made their statements balance lwlth a difference of $24,465.33 on one tide.

One of the hopeful signs of the times is the way a physician now handles a patient who has beenall- ing for some time, has gone to three or four doctors and is not satisfied with the results obtained.

In former days the physician made the examination, and gave medicine or other treatment‘, the patient was not told what was wrong with him or why the particular treatment was used.

What do we find now?

That the doctor explains in simple language what he thinks is wrong. He explains the proper structure and the working of the particular part at fault, and what he thinks about that structure and working in the patient. He explains what is happening and what will be the effect if treatment is not followed. I-le explains the treatment he is giving and why he wants the patient to follow it.

What is the result?

The patient knows what is wrong, and why he must follow the doctor's advice, and by giving his active co- operation in the treatment best re- sults are obtained. Corny-are this with the old methods. The patient had no knowledge of what was wrong with him. It might be serious and he would not consider it very serious and so not follow the treat- ment. On the other hand it might not be serious, and yet, not knowing what was wrong, he would worry himself needlessly; not eating, not sieping, and unable to do his work properly. In desperation he might naturally consult another doctor, or solne healer, and get no farther.

Perhaps as a last resort he would begin taking some patent medicine. Now patent medicines are carefully watched by the government and theirl claims kept, truthful, but the patent‘ medicine the patient would use might be utterly useless or actually harm- ful in his casc.

And so as Dr. Thos. D. Wood says "It is encouraging that medicine is losing its air of mystery, is casting aside obscure names, which to minds which are fearful and ill, are fraught with unknown dread. '

"Every competent physician who doesn't explain why he recommends a treatment thus taking his patient, illto his confidence is not "up to date." These are the words cf Dr. Chas. Mayo, America's outstanding surgeon, head of the Mayo Clinic,

PUBLICITY AS A PUNISHMENT

Sin-It should be clear to all ob- serving and reasoning persons. that llibitory Law is its non-deterrent punishment.

1f a law breaker will not pay n fine or if he is not allowed the op- tlon of it, he is sent to jail for a. few weeks or months. His name is not published out of respect fol the feel ings of his friends. His term is spent in idleness, living at the public ex- pensc! Do you call that punishment? The Premier says it ls very hard to find work for jail inmates. They must not take tllc work from hon- est laborers. Quite right, but a little nominal work, a little sham work, such as parading the streets in prison stripes, bearing picks, spades. and hoes under the command of po- lice officers, might be m" great o. de- terrent as hard labor.

The B1 persons taken in a recent raid on a Montreal den, very many of whom were prominent profession- al and business residents, pleaded in vain with the Chief to be allowed to go in their cars to the station. They feared the publicity. ‘Phey dreaded the jcering crmvds. But the plucky oflicer was adamant. They were law breakers and as prisoners they would go in the police vans.

How different here. Their names are not published and now it is proposed to let them out when they began saying their prayers,

Sausages as Tithe

(London Times) A controversy over the contents of sausages is being fought out in the Courts of Mecklenburg-Schwerln, a small German State. The holders of ihhablc property in the tow-n of De- men, in that State, have been bound for 150 years to contribute each year 1301b. of Mettwurst (a. sausage pecu- liar to Mecklenburg) to the mainten- ance of the Church and its servants. This custom lately fell into disuse. but in 1928 the Church renewed its claim and demanded the payment of arrears for three years. ‘The tithepayers refused, the Church sued them -and obtained judgment; and the overdue sausage was evidently supplied. Tile rep- resentative of the Church, however, after tasting the sausage, denied that it was that which the Church in Mccklcnburg was in equity en- titled to demand as Mettwurst (the main ingredient of which should be alpparcntly minced lean pork). The focd inspection authortitics in Ros- lcck agrced that too much beef had been used, the sausage was returned. and, as nothing furiher was heard. the Church has again gcne to law. Expert opinions about the composi- ticl: cud taste of Mcttwurst are much fDllfllil, ivhlf-z ancient recipes are to he put in as evidence.

Sir Hubert doesn't plan to linger around the Pole. He will merely see how it looks from below and proceed under the ice to Alaska, sailing by dead reckoning which is very much like swimming the English Channel in a sack.
