The Ontario Liberal party is split wide open, or rathcr shattered to smithereens. lts first reverse was over the Hydro-Electric Companies, its next over the Separate Schools legislation, and finally over the Oshawa strike. In each of these crises Premier Hepburn has been a law unto himself. The Party Press in Toronto is hopelessly divided; the Toronto Star supporting ex-Attorney General Roebuck and Ex-Labor Minister Croll, while the Globe and Mail is whole-heartedly behind Mr. Hepburn. Prime Minister King as usual in a crisis pussy-footed. advising the Liberal headquarters at Toronto that he would observe a “hands-off” policy.

The why and wherefor of both the Hon. Mr. hltrGuigan and Mr. H. H. Shaw going from the Education Department to the Coronation is ex- plained thus. All the arrangements for send- ing students were conducted between the Over- seas League and Mr. Shaw, and they sent an invitation to the Department expecting he would be sent. Unfortunately for Mr. Shaw, the Gov- ernment decided to send Mr, McGuigan instead When a cable to this effect was received in Lon- don, the Overseas League, while appreciating the honour conferred upon them by sending of the Minister of Education, specifically request- ed that Mr. Shaw be sent as well.

Did the Catnpbell Government agree to hand over the Yukon to British Columbia, and if so, what quid pro quo did we get? British Colum- bia has no more right to get possession of Do- minion territory than has the U.S.A., and the sooner the Federal Government is made to realize this the better. It is like adding insult- to injury for the King Government to give B. C. an additional $125,000 animal subsidy with the territory! What is the Campbell Government going to do about it? We can get no additional territory, and in the past under the Liberals. the Federal treasury has been absolutely barred against us for monetary compensation. Is it still to be so? ‘

sug- As the liquor traffic is the greatest curse affecting humanity tn this generation there is great need of something substantial be- ing done to drive it out of our midst. and I consider now ls the opportune time for the temperance people to assert themselves and stand as a united force, regardless of party politics. and make such demands on the powers-that-be, and those that are to follow, is would shake the very foundations of the nefarious evil and destroy it root, and branch that lt would have no chance to recover Ind again get any foot-hold tn Jhts fair land of ours. This can be done if the people are true to their sense of re- sponslbttty and to their moral, splrilbtial, and material interests. Now the t/rouble is that there are a few people who traffic in this evil with two motives, one to make: money and the other to beat the law, and they succeed in both be- cause the law is not. half strong enough, and our Governments have all proved unreliable in the en- forcing of the law as we have 1t. Then we have the largest, per-

sympathy on Germany for her re- ported anxieties concerning the £l9,000,000 owed her by General Franco. the Spanish rebel leader. She must carry her own risks tn such a speculative business. In any case, the spectacle of Germany in diff culties with a debtor will raise a laugh In half the countries of the world, where governments and bankers despair of ever being paid what Get-itiatiy owes them. The rea- son 1s that Germany is first and most efficient in practising the new technique of using debts as a help rather than a handicap-Auckland News.

There is no expense to the bag- gage of ideas and knowledge that you carry around with you in your mind. It. therefore, becomes the fin- est. investment in the world to fill your mind as full as possible-and it is never possible to fill it!

Sir John Lubbock, banker, phil- osopher and literary man, who, as lord Avebury, which he afterwards became. was author of that. list of one hundred best books in the world. most of which I have in my own small library.

The essential difference between the British and German points o! view is that Britain, lf she were al- lowed to. would prefer butter to guns. whereas Germany's free choice is for guns ln preference to butter. As M. Marius Moutet, the French Colonial Minister. has pointed out, “If Germany lacks the ecessttles of life to-day, lt ts because she ls too interested in the necessities of death." But. that ts no reason why she should be atowed to plunge the rest. of civilization tnto the same plight-Johannesburg Tmes.

I would recommend that I. specification be drawn up by the temperance people embodying all of the provisions of a. new law so drastic and far reaching. with penalties so heavy, and jail life so unattractive, with lighter and platner diet and closer confine- ment that. a sentence would be so dreaded that violations would be carefully considered befzle the risk would be taken. Then ‘the, traffic would be checked and the gools envptted. and event/natty we would have a more sober and prosperous people. Such a. specification pro- perly constructed and legally drawn by a. competent lawyer. and- embodted tn a contract entered into and signed by a representa- tive committee of both parties seeking election, with 1m under- standing that. each or either party being returned to power would en- act a law tn accordance with sa-ld specification. and thus work hand-tn-hand with the Temper- rmoe Alliance ln prosecuting this traffic to the death.

Finally: Until this vexed quest- ion is subjected to the control of the Temperance Alliance, and Governments become the true servants 0f the people. as they should be, yielding to and working in conjunction with the Alliance, there will be no complete and per- manent control of this evil.

WHY NOT?

6lr,--Why wot the Prohibition Act. be honestly enforced 100 per cent? The Govemment must know that that is. the true desire of the majority. Surely we have hid ,,“ . Hebeucms to convince them.

This is the farce of 1t. Every- body knows that nine out of ten are not getting the liquor becflllw they are sick. Who ls to blame 101‘ this? The Doctors? Or the Govern- ment? .

It doesn't matter. The mill-ll thing is to atop it. Not to merely decrease the sale by a. few thous- and dollars, but stop to this farce which ls corrupt- ing our youth and making a laugh- ing stock of our Prohibition Act: How?

Obviously something drastic is required. not just passing little changes in the Act or send- tng our 50 scrips instead of 100 to the doctors. I believe them is no limit to beer sex-fps. But that is not the solution. It. never has been yet. If liquor is really needed for sick people, which I don't believe. and many great. doctors, say it is not needed, but. even so, why not make it so that only the doctors in person can get liquor?

1 am 11111-1: that 1r a. sick Ptuent really needs the liquor, any good doctor will get it for him. This would not be any great injustice to the doctors because there cant. be so very many diseases which de- mand liquor. and 1t certainly would stop the Govemment Vendor shops from being nothing but. liquor stores with sales increasing and the whole thing a big farce as it 1s now.

Why not do this and really face the facts? Anything less 1s an 1n- sult to the majority of our people who voted for honest Photflbltlon.

ONE 0F THE MAJORITY

EDUCATION

(Error: and O-miuions) Bin-I wish ofice more to refer in errors and omissions ln letters that appeared in the columns oi your paper on the subject of edu- cation. First I wish to mention a statement that my friendly oppo- nent, New Teacher. made ln his last letter that appears to me faulty. and I think will appear so to others also. He says science has created a new heaven and a. new earth. , - In what respect. New Teacher, do you mean to say that. science has created a new heaven and a new earth; for it is written, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”; and again, “Behold I make all things new"? Again in reference to my quo- tation from Joseph Addison's poem

“The Spacious I-‘itmmnent on High". I wish to say that. in the

version from which I copied my quotation, I found several capital letters which seemed to me incon- sistent as they seemed not. only to clash tn - appearance with the beauty of the verse but also to unduly personlfy nature, and thereby take away somewhat from the glory of the Creator as manl- fested tn Hts works. Some of these capitals I omitted. but I found, however. that my presumptuous attempt. to improve the version led only to confusion of thought on my own part nd I fear on the part of others at o. And further- more. it. is of course just and right. to quote the original writer strict- ly correct. provided the copy be- fore me writer who copies it gives no evidence of being incorrect. I now beg to quote Addison's poem in full from the version which I personally prefer, that ts, the ver- sion u it appears in one of our present day hymnals.

"The spacious firmament on high. with all the blue ethereal sky. And spangled heavens a shining

frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearled sun from day to day

Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an-Alnughty hand.

Boon u the evening made-s prevail,

The moon takes up her wond- rous tale.

And nightly tn the listening earth ' Repeat-s the story of her birth; M1110 all the stars that. round

her bum. And all the planets in their turn Confirm the tidings as they roll. And spread the truth from pole to pole.

What. ‘though in solemn silence

Move round the dark mysterious _ ball’! What though no real voice not

sound Amid their mutant. orbs be found? In reason’: ear they nil rejoice. And utter forth a glorious voice. Ilbrever singing u they dune. The hand that made us is div- lne."

I wlshllao w any to NewTench~ er in reference to what he terms Shakespeare's pro-eminence. that from my own alight acquaintance with Shakespeare and knowing the general oomemua of opinion.

greatest of bullish poets; but: ad- mitting him to be the greatest, is not to my he in the moat pre- eminent. Surely the author of Par- ldlu boat and Plndlae Regntned in the moat pro-eminent. Again 1s it not. n difllcult mutter to decide who to the greatest or the best poet? For instance, Tennyson or Inngfellow? Moore or Burns? Once more, I feel impelled to make some correction in respect. to the young teachers, emoclllky the young gtrh who are engaged tn inching the youth of our coun- try. Bo much has been slid. lute- 1y. and properly w. in behalf of the desirability of more mature

DISCOMFORT AND OTHER STOMACH SYMPTOMS

Man and women past forty years of age are now being warned about the possibility of cancer of the stomach. This is a. most necessary warning because cancer of the stomach in the early stage is read- ily curable; in its later stages it Ls hopeless. And the unfortunate part of it all is that as cancer of the stomach gives no more warning than does some innocent atiment. it may go unrecognized until it is too late to save 1’fe.

However as many middle-aged individuals may go to the other ex- treme and begin to think they have cancer of the stomach when noth- ing serious ls really present, 1t should be of help to read what Dr. J. A. Ryle. Reg-ins Professor of Phy- sic, University of Cambridge, tells us 1n jhe British Medical Journal.

"A feeling of “fulness" or "weght" may be due to a condition as serious as cancer of the liver and as innocent as nervous dyspepsia, eating food that disagrees or eat- ing too rapidly. In cancer the heavy feeling will always be present, whe- ther or not food has been eaten; 1t ls aggravated by lying or turning on one side or other 1n bed, and is nearly always accompanied by loss of weight and appetite, and changes ‘n the expression of the face."

“On the other hand a, feeling of "weight", “fullness" or "pleasure" occurs when no organic disease ls present and is common tn nervous and depressed individuals, 1t is apt to occur after meats although 1t ls not as “exact" in the time it. occurs as with ulcer. The symptoms occur

emotional. disturbance is present.”

“Empty" or “sinklng" feelings tend to occur two hours or more after food; l1 to 11.30 A. M. is their favorite hour. They proclaim an empty stomach and are more com- mon ln the brainworker and the nervous individual and can be shown to accompany "stomach hurry” when examined under the Xray ffluoroscopeJ"

"The accumulation of gas (flat- ulence) in the stomach may be with or without odor. If odor Ls present it is due to pntrefaction of food in stomach or intestine. If no odor is present it. 1s ‘swallowed’ air due to nervousness.“

Those then with the symptoms about the stomach of "heaviness", "fullness", "weight", "empty or sink-

ctntton) of gas or air. should not be alarmed but during the ezttamlnation bv their physician try to describe to him exactly the nature of these symptoms. It will help him in de- ciding what is u-rong some time be- fore the Xray specialist, and the chemist could give their findings.
