PiDENTAL CLINICS

The mot of almost all evil in- the human frame is the root of tilt tooth. It has been recognized in medical science and practice that more poison is disseminated through the system from desayed and sup- puratingi tooth roots than from any other source. A recent hospital case demonstrated beyond peradventure that a well-known citizen who 1; passed away from heart-trouble in ‘ reality suffered the evil conseqrmr- I tee of suppurating teeth. Keep your

teeth well and you will insure a

measure oi’ good health. In pur-

ruence of such a policy, the Board ~ a! Health is establishing dental f clinics for schools throughout the Province. In the city. the work is being undertaken, as usual, by th: City Council and citizens generally. The City Council is asked to pro- vide accommodation and equip- ment, and crrtain organizations are. seing asked for contributions to-l wards upkeep. It is recognized nsw- ldayg as part oi civic responsibil- lty to guard the health of the ris- ing generation, prevention being better than curejlt is therefore a legitimate expenditure, which may. or must, be borne until such time Isa Public Health Law and Health Insurance scheme be introduced which will transfer, as in the Old country and the continent, all such expenditures and service to the State. The Dental Clinic is now a public necessity, and as taxpayers we have to foot the bill whether w like it or not.

PATRIOT RED HERRINGS

Spleen orer the sorry showing of its party members in thg legislative debates, and of the fiasco at the Lenten banquet where Mr. Lea was to have pulled “the Liberal platform and policy" out of his hat but made a complete mess of the performance, is reflected in our coutemporarys editorial columns of the past few; days. Here is an example: “The Speech from the Throne‘. contained the following paragraphz‘ ‘You will be called upon during this ression to consider a number of bills including farm loan legislation: Yet the House prcrogued without even this legislation being introduced."

What are the facts? Ari amend- ment to the Chattel Mortgage Act was passed during the session for the specific purpose of simplifying the legislation for the benefit of those participating in the Dominion Farm Loan Act. When this bill was hi committee, Hon. Mr. MaoPhee explained that. further enabling leg- _ lalation was unnecessary because or Q the amendments now introduced by the Bennett Government in Parlia- ment. '

Here is another misstatement:

‘The Provincial Government in the session just closed Pfvved ab" golutely dvfenceloss against the at- tacks of the Opposition with respect 0o the borrowing o! $1,000,000 and a fortnight later $250,000 without calling for tenders."

Irr today's issue of The GuBrdlB-II fibula tho full text of Premier Isollllllur’: speech on the Budget, h which this question is fully and convincingly dealt. with.

"Another glaring example," says our contemporary, “of bad business 1m the paying of more than 535.000 lo an outside architect for plans for Ialconwood hospital."

The Premier, in his Budget speech, dealt with this subject also, and in- cidentally pointed out that the trus- tees of the Prince Edward Island Hospital had to pay in the vicinity . ». of IMDOD in architects‘ fees for con- ‘1 Li, I-ruction of the new hospital. The architect employed was "an outside architect." Wls that mother ex- flmph cl “bad business nrethodl." or h Inolr crrriolsrrr lust. another el- ohple of partisan misrepresentation?

Nor did Mr. Lea once attempt to show, as our contemporary says, that $250,000 of his overdraft was "a leg- acy” of the first Stewar. Govern- ment. Why? Because he tried to use this argument before, and it was shown that this amount repre- sented but a small part of the $007,- 000 overdraft which the first Stewart Government inherited from the Bell Government, under Mr. Lea's own regime as secretary-treasurer.‘

Our contemporary has another "red herring" in its yesterday issue about the "alarming" expenditures that the hiaclviillan Government is going to incur this election year. The contention of its own party leader in the Legislature was that election years should not be counted, In any event, it. can rest assured that the Lea Governments all-time record of over half a million dollars‘ debt increase in the last eight months of its administration is in no danger of being beaten.

PEPPEEIHINT REALLY AIDS DIGESTION

9M 0f my early recollections is that of my grandfather and grand- mother eating peppermint lozenges after meals. Despite their strict re- ligious principles they m m; p”. pemilnt lvwiaar on Sundays also. much to my amazement. my mother explained that they thought the lozenges helped their digestion and so they had to eat them Bunda as well as week days. While it has been thought for a great many years that oil of peppermint help- ed the stomach to digest its food, it is only recently that some experi- ments have provent the extant to which this is true.

At the meetings of the Jcntnl Society for Clinical Research held in Chicago a few months ago, Dre. II. I. Sapoznik, R. A. Arens, Hein- rich Necheles and Jacob Meyer, Chicago, reported the results of their studies of the effects‘ of oil of peppermint on stomach digestion.

By using a barium meal and the X ray it was found that the normal emptying time of the stomach of six normal women was 240 minutes (4 hours). In one patient with a drop- ped or low stomach the cmptying time was 310 minutes.
