. NOVA BOOTIA LIIERALISM

The inenuity of the Armstrong gdvernment in Nova Scotla is un- dergoing a severe ‘test these days. The vacancy recently created in the cabinet by the resignation of the Provincial Secretary Treasurer has Iheen filled without the usual formalities. I-Ion A. S. McMillan. who was defeated at the last elec- tion. was made a. member of the L gislative Council to avoid the risk of s ibye-election and was raised from there to the cabinet vacancy. Premier Armstrong was defeated at the last general elec- tion as were also Hon D. A. Cam- eron and- thc above named Hon. A- S. McMillan. The cabinet has been “recoastructed" byswapping seats and the general election is not more than six months off.

‘these seats must be filled in ‘the regular ilvay lIly election. it is gen- erally admitted that the Arm- strong government is suffering from dry putriflcation and cannot

survive another general election. W}

Still for a t-ime ministers and their supporters as- serted before Parliament met, dur- ing the session and afterward that there was a surplus. knowing that It had no existence.

We have heard and read little of that surplus of late. Doulbtless the party is ashamed of its ,baseless claim and nf the ministers who set it up. And we hear nothing of any surplus for 1924. The Liberal pap- (‘rs tcll their readers that trade is good and the country is prosperous more so than last year. if there ‘was a surplus last year there should be a bigger one this year, but it seems not to be forthcoming. Pros- porlly brings increased revenues in other countries. Why not in (Jan- ada? The bookkeeping trick of last year will not boar reputation. It is too much discredited.

A business man past sixty found it necessary to take out some in- surance for the protection of his firm. » When he was examined by the physician it was found that his blood pressure was over 160. which was twenty or more points higher than the company liked to have it. There was no heart nor kidney trouble, and the applicant appeared to be in the best of health.

The examiner and the agent were in a quandary because the re- fusal of insurance in one company is quite properly renortcd to all the companies, and flsurance cen- not be obtained except with certain reservations.

Ho was not refused directly but requested to call back in a few weeks.

The agent hnd tho applicant con- sult anothcr physician, who like- wise found the blood pressure 160. but everything else normal.

On enquiring us to his daily hub-

rnun he should out down his food supply by at least twenty five per cont. Ho was outing too much for his age, and getting no exercise. No special diet was laid down, except the lessening of the quan- tity of food eaten. _ ‘Further he ‘vns tn walk to bus- iness in the morning, and part of the way home in the evening.

l At the end of two weeks the blond pressure was down to 150. another two weeks it was at 140.

Further the npplicatit felt strong- er for his exercise, fresh air, and lessened food intake.

Now what about this? _

Wall. high blood pressure is not an ailment or a sickness in itself. It is just a symptom that some- thing isn't just right iu the system. ,Some of the British physicians be- lieve that this high blood pressure. where there is no heart or kidney trouble, is entirely due to the pols- onlng from a lazy intestine.

LIBERAL NOMINATION

8ir.-I do not care to offer this suggestion to a Liberal newspflilill‘ -for dbvious ‘reasons and will be obliged‘ if you will favor me with the necessary space. '

It is well known that the Liber- al party is dissatisfied with their present representatives in‘ the House of Commons, particularly in Queen's County. They have not yet nominated their candidates, a fact which in itself is significant, but is there any good reason why ‘the party should allow itself to be caught napping. A general elec- tion may be called within a few mOntIrs- is it not time to wake up. call the convention and be prepared for whatever comes. Pending the calling of such con- vention and mindful of the fact that It is strongly improbable that the present standard b€arers shall again be honored I wish tn sug- gest that Mr. J, Clrving, M. L. A-, of Vernon, be nominated as one of thc candidates for this county. Mr .lrviug is a success- ful fanuvr and stock raiser, a shrewd business man, honest and honourable and if elected may be depended upon to do his best in the lntcrsis of the province.

It is unnecessary lo go into par- ticulars hero and I am just mak- ing this suggestion iu whnt I I10- lievo to lbc in tlic best iwicrcsis of the party.
