our: DAIRY ADVANTAGES

It would appear that. although there is a constant demand for the dgiry products of this Province the fact is not sufllciently stressed that we are n disease free area, which should be an important. factor in en- larglng the demund for our pro- fluts. 'I'his Province being an island the possibility of excluding any dis- ease in dairy cattle is greater than in any otherpart of the Dominion. We have only one gate by which cat- tle can be imported, which makes it poulble to exclude even suspected animals. This 1s not true of any other restricted urea. in Canada. Al1 others are bounded by districts which Lro not disease free, so that it is practically impossible to wholly ex- clude diseased animals from neigh- boring districts.

The health of the dairy cow con- a

cerns not only our butter and cheese. but our hogs and even our egg produc- tion, and this also should be stressed in our catering to the various de- ' mands of the world market. It is known that hog products are suscep- tible to the diseases which hereto- fore have been somewhat prevalent gmong dairy cattle everywhere. With the dangervof tuberculosis elimin- ated, our hog products, eggs, butter and cheese should be absolutely free from all danger o! infection. There

is no country in the world which can

place its products on the market with l. greater guarantee of freedom from disease.

It will be remembered that at tho inception of the restricted area. move- ment the number oi reactors to the

tuberculin test was so small as to.

elicit commendatory comments from the press of our sister provinces. The fcw reactors discovered at; that time

_ were duly slaughtered, and all thi

then present danger of contamina- tion was removed. A second general test is now being made oi the accred- ited herds of the Province, and up

to June 5th, out of 10.130 cattle test- “ed, only twenty-six

reactors were discovered.

A BETTER ELECTION LAW

One of the most. important meas- .

urea to come before Parliament dur- ing the session lust closed was the bill to amend the Dominion Elections Act, the principle of which has been generally approved by members oi Ill parties. Briefly, and in its most important provisions, it takes the control of elections from the gov- ernment oi the moment, and puts it dnto the hands of pennanent offic- his. By the provisions of the new Act, the chief electoral officer is to have b. status corresponding to that oi Judge of the Supreme Court. and the conduct of a. federal general el- ection in future will be solely under his control, without possibility oi legal interference from the govern- ment in power. The local returning oflicers of federal riding: will be ap- pointed by the chief electoral officer, ll-‘id not by the government oi the day. He may select them from among such public officials as sher- ifll, registrar: of deeds, and city clerks; and be may designate them ‘by u» title of their 5mm. A m: d than returning officers will be ‘published in the Canada Gazette during the first. twenty days of every you. Returning officers are to pru-

THE SESSIONAL, INDEMNITY

Ottawa whose purpose was to effect ‘ an increase-fifty per cent, was men- tioned-ln the sessional indemnity failed after all to reach the surface. i says the Montreal Gazette. It seems to have/been understood that Mr. William Irvine, of Wetaskiwln, be- longing to the U. F. A. group, would fire the first gun, lead the assault». talc: the bull by the horns. and. i generally speaking, incur whatever odlum and sustain such verbal in- juries as might be forthcoming in the circumstances. Whether there was or was not any preliminI-fi’ casting of lots to determine who should assume the role of Angora has not been disclosed, but it in some- thing to the credit of the members of the House cf Commons that not. one of them had. very much stomach for the enterprise. Many oi them were willing enough to follow, but. n0 one sought the questionable glory oi being first in the breach, and when the member for Westaskiwin ventur- ed forth he was obviously gun-shy and wary. ' "

For the present, at any ratehthe l project has received its qulctus, and It may not have a chance of revival I during the lifetime oi this Parliam- l ent. In that event, those members who are dissatisfied with the amount I of the sessional indemnity will be in a position to follow c. simple and straightforward course. when-and if-thelr constituents do them the undeserved honor oi renomination, they will be in a position to decline. and to explain that, they d0 not. find it profitable to serve their country in Parliament at the price offered.

THE BRITISH WAY

"Our electoral system is as eno- malous as our Constitution and as illogical as. our national dhpositlon. But somehow it works. I urn pretty sure that if we had a perfect system and elected a perfect Parliament composed oi perfectly qualified find equipped members we should come to grief," writes Mr. Arthur Pomon- by in the Manchester Guardian.

“Changes are needed and changes will come in the course of time. ZSut anything which tends to prevent the representation of our notional im- perfections as well as our national qualities will be no improvement. Our readiness to submit to the rule of those with whom wo disagree, knowing that a demonstration of their incompetence is the but mum oi persuading the electorate to mike a change, ls the great lesson wc Are able to give many other PfllllmQfll-l in the world."

Notes By. 77w Way i

- One notable difference between an election in South Africa and an election in the United Kingdom or in Canada is that women do not vote in South Africa. It has been an ex- clusively masculinb election over them, and by so much a novelty to the reading world outside, but quite the usual and the proper thing to the men who voted. ‘more are ’ half n lmillion voters scat- tered over the country from Cape ‘flown to Northern Rhodmia and not a among them.

Thai. the Federal Parliament is not likely to be dissolved until its full farm of five yearn has expired, is the contention of the writer who contributes to Saturday Night from "Lobby and Gallery" at Ottawa. This forecase, if true, would give the members two more sessions before they again face the electors. Prem- icr King, he says, hasintimntcd on several occasions that it is a part of his philosophy that. the country does not want to be bothered with elections any oftencr than it has to be."

It may be assumed that many members of the House will ‘be con- tent to wait, alike from personal reasons and to see how the country reacts to the high tariff.’ assault from across the border. It is also predicted that the Government at next session will increase the gener- al tariff in a. manner to reduce Ca- nadian purchases from the United States, and at the same time to in- sure Western consumers against being exploited by manufacturers. the British preference will be in- creased.

Anti-protectionist politicians in Parliament would be quite content that Canada. should ignore the tariff policy of’ the United States, but they realise that, the Government which they support could not survive if it held to their sentiments, and so they are prepared to support tariff revis- ions calculated to satisfy what the Government recognizes as the ma- jority view of the country. Many consultations have been going on for weeks past between the Govern’ ment and its supporters and it is pretty well agreed that there must be a boost to the tariff’ ‘against the United States. The Prairie free tra- ders will be allowed to save their faces by arguing that, such increase will be oflact by the feductio of du- ties on British goods. ~

Evidently. while Canadian trade‘ L! expanding, all is not, well in our trade relations. The balance of trade with the United States is heavily against us. Farm products, automo- biles, farm machinery and imple- ments are pouring into Canada from across the border, along with butter in massive quantities from Australia and New Zealand, in their warm and our cold seasons.

The first paper mill in Canada was established in 1803. In i917 there were 83 mills, producing 853,000 tons of paper worth 858,000,000. In 1927 there were 114 mills, with 32,000 em- ployees, rcceiving $48,000,000 in sal- uries and wages, and producing 2,- 400,000 tons of paper, valued at more than $168,000,000. These figures of production and value have since i927 been largely increased?

In advertising. what are the best methods, to make use of the news- papers or the radio? R. W.

Hunger Con»: Influences

Perhaps you are amused when you see a. baby crying, to notion bow quickly he subsides when he is given his “bottle of milk." V

The restless, active, crying, rascal settlesaway into I. quiet contented cherub.

Dre. M. and 0. " ‘ , Minneap- olis, have been able to show u, strong relationship between ‘ or lack of nourishment, and restlessness or nervousness.

They carried out a study of under- nourlshment in children, with spec- ial emphasis on symptoms of ner- vousness and fatigue.

They report that hunger is the cause of activity and that a positive relation exists between activity and 1w of weight. "

That in cases of undcrnourishmcnt a. sufficient or adequate diet reduce the activity with an immediate in- crease in weight.

Lack of food or undemourishment produces irritability and restlessness.

The study showed that the symp- toms of nervousness and fatigue are more numerous in children whose height and weight is more than l0 per cent. below normal.

They suggest forced feeding and the rest cure for undernourished children as it reduces and improves nervous symptoms, increases the ability of the body processes to work, and hastens the gain of weight.

I believe moist physicians will agree with these suggestions.

However what about suggestions for "grown ups."

Now there are cases as, Dr. Weir Mitchell showed us a year ago, where forced feeding and rest was of great help.

However an adult has his growth and docs not need the food and rest for this purpose.

However most nervous irritable in- dividuals do need plenty of good food to nourish all the cclll of the body. the nervous system included. But this food is hot needed for growth, therefore it must be taken

This is properly done by regular exercise, outd a f: puislble, which makes the heart pump harder and sends blood to every cell. This blood will be good blood because it is made out of goodyfood and fresh air.

And as to rest: if you eat good food and get plenty of exercise rest, or sleep will come naturally.

After all a healthy animal is one that eats well and works or is exer- cised. The sleep or rest part comes naturally.

Islander Heads Aerial Survey

Ottawa Journal

An aerial survey establishment has been inaugurated here at 283 Queen street, and has already done a consid- erable amount of work in aerial phowffflphy and map-making, while plans for next season's operations call !or a great extension oi the field already covered.

Under th'e management of H. L. Seller, this division controls all the aerial survey work throughout the entire organization, which may be over an area of more than 1,000,000 square miles. throughout the pro- vlnces of Ontario and Quebec.

Mr. Scllar is a son of Mr. William Sellar oi Charlottetown, P. E. 1., is

who some time ago realized the im~ portancc of this work in the future and turned to specialize in aerial surveys. He is considered one of the pioneers in the work. Mr. Sellar has been flying close upon eight Wars. In addition to his overseas service he

aviation in Canada. Although only 28 years of age, he can today look back upon commercml aviation when the Canadians Airways Ltd., oper- ated with two machines, under con- ditions not experienced in these days of advancement in the busincs.

One of the most notable flights made in Qunada. was that of tlic ex- pedition to the interior of Labra- dor three ycars ago for the purpose of surveying Grand Falls. This" ex- pedition consisted of a party of eight men and three flying boats. Two of the machines were used for transpor- tation of fuel and supplies to the various bases, while the third ma- chine made the flnal fiight north to the falls. Mr. Scllar was chosen to carry out the aerial photography and accompanied the machine which reached the Falls. This fiight has been referred to us a. remarkable achievement of the time.

In an interview with The Citizen Mr. Seller states that with the equip- ment of today this work would have been carried out. with one machine, leaving the base at Seven Islands and returning the same day.

Vcry Extensive Work.

The aerial survey work of the combined interests controlled by the Intcrprovincial Airways Ltd, is very extensive, in the north from the coast of Labrador to the western boundary of Ontario and as far south as the Niagara Peninsula, con- sisting of timber cruising, mapping of almost. unknown territories, in the more settled parts aerial photogra- phy for town planning and assess- ment purposes, court arbitration cas- es, preliminary surveys for the lay- ing out of telephone and hydro lines, right down to oblique views for ad- VBrli-Sing and ‘educational purposes.

for the successful completion of this organization.

When The Citizen entered the Ottawa office recently, they were amazed at the sight of a number oi Arctic sleeping bags. An Cxplgn- ation was asked for their presence in the manager's office, which revealed that they were for the comfort of the airmen who were commencing oper- ations in the early part of January in Northern Quebec. Mr. Szllar says: "Our personnel are the best ob- tainable, we must. see to their com- fort so they will be aided in complet- ing their work mosts uccessiully. We 00!‘! 0111i’ FEW "Dim the men in the field to produce for us the very best work obtainable and we should be “noble in puss ‘udgmeht oh them -if we had ill-equipped than,
