K..0urrla c - i TEMPERANCE E hear much these days about W prohibition but not a word about Temperance and yet there is perhaps no subject that is as much thought about or that figures n5 prominently in the social and econ- ‘omic life of the Province as this one virtue Temperance. The commer- lcial and industrial world demands lTemperance. Neither has any use lor any place for the man who ldrinks. To be sober and temperate ' is one of the first qualifications de- manded of on employee by any firm or cdrporation. Knowledge of this has done more for temperance than I either preaching, legislation or com- l pulsion. A young man starting out lin life knows that to be successful ihe must give drink a wide berth and the great majority of them act upon this prinyipie. Unfortunately the mcddling of extremists has done much to nullify this knowledge. Thcy have attempted by unwise l legislation to compel young men and others to go the way that they were voluntarily following and many out lof natural curiosity approach the |forbidden fruit and tasted of it. It 1is known both in this country and in the United States that boys and girls who had never thought of drinking in the old days now con- sider it smart to drink just because it is forbidden. It is well known l that this has happened and is hap- pening in our own Prohibition Pro- vince. It has ever been an unwise expedient to attempt to hurry the ‘mills of the gods. These mills grind too slowly for some of our extrem- ists but they are grinding surely and if we use wise precept and good Temperance will become the estab- crything that makes for progress, socially, commercially and industri- ally insists upon temperance. é -—€—Zi§i>—————i h EMPIRE ASSOCIATION remain until October 1st. each of its dominions overseas. namely the Irish Free State, India, Australia, New Zcsland, South Af- rica, Newfoundland, Malta and South Rhodesia. Ii: is by far the most important visitation that Can- ada has had in many yours repre- senting as it does every section of the farflung British Empire. The interchange of ideas, the study of each others problems and general knowledge to be gained both by vis- ited and visitors will make a strong link in the chain that binds the Empire together. Their visit to this Province while involving no consti- tutional questions will be import- ant as placing the “little sister of Confederation" on the msp along with her larger sisters and we feel made by our Provincial legislature as will convince the distinguished ‘ visitors that although small, Prince Edward still has a placenand a pur- pose in the Commonwealth of Na- tions. ——i-¢-a->--——- THE POWER OI‘ FIGURES l E note by our Liberal exchang- . “author the Hon. James Mal- colm has “sifoctive1y" replied to statements made by the Hon. 3.8. Bennett during the latter! tour of the Maritimes. Mr. Malcolm is re- ported to have given an especially able speech "bristling with facts and figures." ‘more is nothing like flg- ures to convince a popular audience that the speaker is intense} in ear- nest and well informed. -l-Ie may pils millions upon millions, thous- andflupon momma-m m; them example instead of compulsion, real lished custom of the country as ev- E note that the Empire Par.- liamentary Association now vis- iting Canada is scheduled to arrive in Charlottetown September 30th to l The vis- iting members of this association number fifty-one and represent the parliaments of Great Britain and sure that such arrangements will be FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1928 mouthed before volume of flgnml‘ and they take them as abuhdsnt and irrefrutable proof of the auth- or thorough knowledge of what he is talking about. Mr. Malcolm gave figures to prove that the‘ trade‘ of Canada had increased by leaps 11nd bounds under the Mackenzie King rule, that emigration is declining and immigration increasing, that industry is flourishing, and that employment is quite satisfactory. The figures were striking and start- ling and the audience under the spell of the thunder n6 doubt be- lieved every word the speaker said but when it was all over they straightway forgot the figures. They noted the unemployment, in their once flourishing towns, they noted the decline in the coal, iron and steel output as compared with 19f- mer years and ~they ‘Yflreturnedf ‘to, their homes fully convinced that while figures can't lie, liars can fig- ure. I-lon. Mr. Malcolm and his col- leagues enjoyed a very pleasant holiday trip to Nova Scotia, but _nothing that they said or did has I cast the least shadow of doubt upon the statements made by the Hon. R. B. Bennett.

He may live, enjoy and prosper under the Union Jack, but he has a hankering after some other country, its institutions and its flesh-pots; so he looks around for some excuse for not admitting that the Empire that nurtures and protects him also has claims on his loyalty and heart service. He wants to loosen the bonds, to benefit by the Imperial tie when it suits his purpose, and to throw off the "yoke" wherrii‘. pays him better. or suits his convenience, to make friends of the mammon of cosmopolitanism, that species of irresponsible national mendicantism affected by those who consider every other body's country more hospitable, more generous, more ideally Christian than the land that gave them birth, freedom and an equality of opportunity, of which to be justly proud. The l-lon. G. Howard Ferguson, the Premier of Ontario, is not such a one. He is British to the core, and proud to nail his colours to the mast on every occasion. Premier Ferguson has recently returned from the Old Country, and speck- ing at the Canadian National Ex- hibition he entered his solemn pro- test against the meaningless sub- stitution of “the British Common- wealth of Nations" for the simple, expressive and virlle term of which wc have all along been proud-the British Empire. ln the course of his remarks the hon. gentleman said: "I can plead guilty of using times, inadvertently, the term ‘Commonwealth of Nat- ions.’ But I don't like it. There should not be any com- monwealth of British nations. There should be just. one Bri- tish Empire, and the fact that she is scattered throughout the seven seas is a real advantage. We have the benefit of produc- tion under all conditions that exist in the worlch-climatical, economic, and so on. We have the sum total of the world's best. "Great Britain is the most in- spiring place one can go to," the Premier said. “And the British people arc the most wonderful people in the world. No matter what their burdens, their difficulties, they deal with them among themselves; they're jealous of the standing of the Empire and they resent inter- ference fr0m_ any source}! at That has the true ring about it. There is no attempt at seeking ex- pressions,which might not offend some of his supporters who are anti-British and pro-something else. l-le calls a spade a spade. There is just. as much sense in ter- ming the generic- British families of which we are privileged to be- long, whose names we are honour- ed to bear, and whose crests we are proud to wear. “The Associated Families of Macdonalds,“ or Mac- dougalls, or MacCallums, or camp- bells, or Camerons, or Popes, or Homes, or Watts, or Prowses, or Duffys, or O'Brlens, or Rogers, or anything else, Scotch, English, Irish or' Welsh, when the "Macdonuld Clan"l or ”Rogers Family" answers the purpose and conveys exactly what we mean. The British Empire connotes all the different branches spread throughout the world and the head of the family as well. Mr. Herbert G. Williams, M. P., Parliamentary Secretary of the Bri- tish Board of Trade speaks with no uncertain sound about the future of Great Britain. She is not mori- bund, neither is she on the down- grade.’ With a weight and burden, greater than all the other countries in the world combined, she is forg- ing ahead and, as her custom is, keeping her own counsel. She has made greater proportional progress in the last fourteen years than has Canada, nothwithstanding that she has had to carry the huge burden ‘of a quarter million of unemployed men and women, and to keep them alive in comfort. This unemploy- ment problem is nothing-new after a great European war, but it has been better handled now than ever before. After the N wars Great Britain was seething with mendicancy and highway robbery. People died. dnilsvtrom the effects- of actual starvation. Murders and suicides were common occurences; while industry was practically at a standstill. Introduction of machlns’ ery and other modern appliances followed, as it is doing todayflthe old systems being scrapped, and this added w the industrial mmpnml t. . i} outside ‘ Sh; lame: W. B0110". M-D REDUCING YOUR WEIGHT You cannot bur/admire the cour- age and will power of the overweight individual who determines to take oil’ his or her excess weight. ’ The terrible self denial at the table where not only the wonderfully enticing desserts must be avoided, but even those_ common everyday necessities, bread and potatoes, are likewise under the ban. ‘ Just how much will power this de- mands no one but the individual himself can even guess. By this extreme method there is sometimes a loss of two to three pounds a week. or ten to twelve pounds a month. Now there can be no question but that this rapid reduction is a mis- take in nearly every case, because the rapid thinning of the blood leads to extreme weakness of entire body, because every tissue shares in the loss of fat. Thus muscle tissue, which means slrmuch in everyday life and work, shares in_ the loss, with onsequent weakness and dragginess in the individual. He doesn't want to do anything, or go anywhere, because he is too tired. l-lis skin which has been stretched to cover the excess fat cannot adjust itself quickTy enough to meet the smaller amount of underlying tissue, and white bands or scars are seen. Now it. is not my thought to dis- courage anyone from trying to re- duce his weight. In an adult, past twenty seven years of age, excess weight is a liability. In younger folks especially children. there should be no attempt mode in reduce weight as it is needed for growth and de- velopment. ' The suggestion, as mentioned pre- vlously, is that you go about this weightJeducing business intellig- ently. It. has taken months, perhaps years, to put it on. and months at least should be spent in getting it oil. Just sit down and divide the num- ber of pounds that should come off by twelve, that is the number of months in a year. If it isonly a mat- ter of ten or twelve pounds, six months is sufficient. ‘Then cut down your bread, pota- toes, pastry. milk, tea. coffee or other fluids by 25 per cent, and your ' other foods} eggs, meat and cereals by about l0 per cent, and see what happens- Your Weight will come down gradually but surely. If you have enough will power to do this, you shcbld have enough also to take twenty minutes to an hour's exercise daily, wearing plenty of clothihgespeciaily wool. This exer- cise will give you strength of body in addition to loss of fat. .
