MONDAY, DIME!- 9, 1N5. Dr. Riddell is Removed

In Second Samuel, chapter II, verses I4 to I7 and 27, it is written, says the Mail and Empire: And it came to pass‘ in the morning that DAVID wrote a letter to joAn, and sent it by the hand of URIAH. And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye UnfAn in the forefront of

"the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that

he may be smitten, and die. And it came to pass, when joAn observed the city, that he as- signed URIAII unto a place where he knew that valiant men were. And the men of the city went out. and fought with JOAB; and there fell some of the people of the servants of DAVID,‘ and UnxAit the Hittite died also . . . But‘ the thing that DAVID had done displeased the Loan.

lt seems to us that there is something of a parallel to this ancient incident in the manner that Mn. LAPUINTE has treated Du. W. A. RtoocLL, for ten years Canadian adviser at the League of Nations. As DAvin, intent on his oivn purposes, removed URIAn from the scene, so the Litton-a Government ‘is removing DR. RIDDELL from the Geneva scene and sending him to Chile at a critical moment in the League's efforts to check MUssoLINfs warlike am- bitions and protect the peace of the world. There is significance, moreover, in the fact that SENATOR DANDURAND who, according to Mn. MAcxENziz-z Kmc, went to Europe some weeks ago on private business, has really been active on Government business over there.

MR. LAPOINTE and the Senator were the two men who went on strike at the time of the formation of the new Government and whrfhy threatening not. to come in ‘forced the Prime Minister to make MR, CARDIN Minister of Pub- lic ‘Works. It looks as if MR. DANDURAND in Europe and Mn. LAPOINTE at, Ottaiva, have been again co-operating~that they have indeed been responsible for the repudiation of DR. RfoosLL and the humiliation of Canada in the eyes of the nations.

Mr McIntyre At Ottawa

According to our local contemporary, Hon. MR. MCINTYRE recently went to Ottawa and interviewed the Minister of Labour on the sub- ject of obtaining unemployment relief. He was informed by the Minister that no definite promises could be made until after the Domin- ion-Provincial conference which opens today. Since this is one of the most important ques- ‘tions on the agenda, and full publicity was giver} to the King Government's policy o£ with- holding action in the matter until after the con- ference, it would not have taken a prophet to

predict in advance the answer Mu. MCINTYRF.

received. If MR. Mclnrvnls had stayed at home and read the papers he would have known what the Inter-Provincial conference was about, and it would not have been necessary for the Min- ister of Labour to tell him.

..._._..__.__._... A Menace To Canadianism

"One startling change of policy expressed

in the new trade treaty with Washington," says the Farmer's Advocate, “is the free entry into

Canada of United States Magazines and period-

icals. For the past few years such publications were obliged to pay a substantial duty into the

Canadian treasury, the impost based largely on the percentage of advertising carried. Many of the U. S. publishers affected sought out Can- adian printers and proceeded to publish in Canada, thus employing Canadian workmen, using Canadian paper and paying Canadian postage. Now, under this new dispensation the overrun of United States publications enter not only duty free but enjoy the use of Canadian mails for which there is no compensating factor because very few Canadian publications of any kind enjoy distribution in United States.

“It has long been argued, and rightly so, pool in Foochow.

that Canadian writers, authors and Canadian literature generally, are battling againstfearful odds. The overwhelming volume of U. S. lit- erature-good, bad and indifferent-uihich comes into this country annually creates an in- surmountable obstacle to the development of a strictly Canadian periodical press and a strictly Canadian literature. The radio broadcasts now supplemented by duty free magazines will thor- oughly Americanize the Canadian people, and

unfortunately the U. S. magazines which enjoy the largest circulation on this side of the border do not portray the best side of American life

and American culture.

Several-of the provinces have published the programmes they intend submitting to the Inter- Provincial Conference, but our delegation has gone without taking the electors into their con- fidencc.

One of the mean ailments that comes with the cool or cold weather is chapplnx of the skin or mucous ppembrune about. hands, face and.

ps. There are tiny cuts tn the sksglor mucous membrane which are so e- tlmes so severe that they are prac- tleally like eczema. Fortunately

but with cold. damp weather these little cuts or fissures are so painful that "they get on the nerves” of the patients suffering with them. These fissures are especially painful when about the mouth or lips. There ts less moisture ln the air during the cold weather and the patient easily acquires the ltablt piolate "w wlth his tongue the dry surface contain- ing the cuts. This of course only aggravates the symptoms.

That the diet. may be a factor tn causing this condition ts qulte prob- able because Patients and that leav- ing certain articles of food from their dolly food intake seems 0o lessen the symptoms.

The taking of baking soda, a half teaspaonful about twice a day seems to be helpful tn some cases, which would Indicate that. tn these par- ticular cases anyway an acid con- dition exists.

Patients find that they must pro- tect the skin and lips from sudden changes of temperature and never go outdoors 1f the skin ts not per- fectly dry.

The skin should not be washed in very cold or very hot water. Fur- ther tt is most important that the skin be made perfectly dry after washing. Drying the skin before the fire instead of drying it, gently and thoroughly with a towel is felt to be one of the causes of this type of skln Irritation.

Some soaps do not agree with cer- tain skins and the individual should avoid soaps which leave the skin with a dry irritated fellng. Some of the common everyday toilet soaps seem to agree with the majority of individuals. Soaps that. are too alk- allne should be avoided.

The prevention of this condition- chopping-then is first and fore- most to avoid very hot or very cold water. drying the sktn thoroughly, and the use of a soap that agrees with the skln. ,

The treatment consists of dusting powders containing zfnk of bismuth, or the various lotions or olntments recommended by your physician.
