Moreover, under thc Old Age Pensions plan the Provincial Government will be. relieved of n good deal of expense in‘ connection with infirm persons now bclngrsup- ported entirely at the Provinces ex- pense. 75 per cent of the total pen- sions payments will be met by the Dominion Government, and the re- maining 25 per cent will not, it is predicted, be as great a burden on the taxpayers of the Province as many had anticipated. The value of Mr. McLarenu survey during rc- eese in this connection has been to put the Government in possession of the facts and details, without which it would have been impossible to have made progress. 01.0 AGE PENSIONS As announced elsewhere in today's Guardian, appointments have been made by the Lieutenant Governor in Coiruoil for the administration oi old age pensions, in connection with which pensions payments will com- mence with cilcct from June 1st of this year. v The machinery for thc adminis- tration cf the pensions will function under Hon.

The present arrangement would seem to be more --"~~‘actory, as it will give an opportunity for closer contact between the members of the two bodies. The farmer delegates, of course, are not elected at thc polls as are our legislative mem- bers. Nevertheless, they may be said to be representative oi their respective communities, and they have important duties and respon- sibilities which requirc both ability and experience to discharge. The opening meeting oi Farrnu ers Week takes place on Tuesday afternoon, the concluding one on Thursday evening. All meetings are being held in the new Prince oi’ Wales College assembly hah. It ls to be hoped that t large number of citizens of Charlottetown as welltas ugriculturlsts will find an oppor- tunity to attend the public sessions, which are of special importance this year in vicw of the difficulties our farming population is experiencing in this, as in other provinces and ‘Attmflon 1' called by 9' T°r°nw countries throughout the world. contemporary to the extraordinary v opportunity that appears to be ot- fered for the expansion of Can- sdian cattle sales in the United Kingdom by mason of the tariff war between Great Britain and the kish Rree Btate.

Y. Hitler's accession to the German Chancellorship brima the shadows of an eventual reception oi the Great War many strides nearer. To anyone who can look back only three and a half years to the date when Stresemann died. the change for the worst is almost incredible. What has made the difference? The economic crisis. It has hit Germany far harder than any other great European country. Her people are half demented by it. The better spirit that is abroad in India springs directly from the confident belief among the saner‘ elements of Indian nationalism that l the Government are striving with absolute sincerity to advance con- stitutional reforms as rapidly as possible, and to secure a new and firm administration in which in- dians would be given more control. All things considered, the prospects of a settlement of India's problems satisfactory to all parties are brighter than they have over been within living memory. The argument put forward from 'I‘okio is that Japan rescued Man- churla from Russia, developed it and made it an attractive home for 30,000,000 Chinese migrants. and that it is, therefore, justified in protecting the new state of Man- choukuo, and in saving it from falling back into the hands of a. chaotic China, which has no real government of its own. and is like- ly to be dominated by Soviet Rus- sia. What is.to be done about it? There is little likelihood that any of the Western nations will use active force in defence of China. We ‘gather this from more or less ofiicial statements from London and Washington. The’ mistake all reformers make is to presume that the desire to re- form is common to all men. 1t is commoner.

It certainly is not and in my opinion should be stopped at once.

REST TREATMENT 0R OPER- ATION FOR SEVERE GOITBE The symptoms that _ severe goitre-vcry rapid heart, pro- truding eyeballs, extreme trembling of the limbs or body, and digestive distress-can usually be relieved by a. surgical operation. A heart beat- ing as high as 120 to the minute may, after operation, beat at the normal rate of 72. Where the patient is afraid of operation. or where it would not be safe to operate, what is called the medical and rest treatment has brought about a cure in thousands oi’ cases. This means complete rest. plenty of food limiting the meat only, mild medicines to induce rest or sleep. and the quieting influence of a doctor who knows how to treat the patient as well as the disease. Dr. I. Bram, London, England, re- ports that in treating 2000 cases by this method 90 per cent regained perfect health and that the average time away from customary duties was fifteen weeks. In his opinion the reason that medical treatment has failed in many cases is because the patient was in too much of a hurry to get well and would not take the needed rest which is the big factor in obtaining a cure. And you can readily see that a patient who is naturally very active because severe thyroid disease makes him more active, finds it very dif- ficult to remain quietly in bed or at complete rest for weeks and months, because 15 weeks was Just the average time in this series oi cases. ,'I‘he big point about this rest treatment is that should the patient still have symptoms after weeks of resting, and gets to a point Where there is no further improvement, then this very rest puts him in good condition to undergo operation. However there are some cases so severe that immediate operation is necessary, as the condition has ad- vanced too far to hope 101‘ fl W" from the rest treatment. Further. there are a great many people, wage earners. or mothers. who simply cannot afford to rest, the weeks and “‘ necessary to obtain a cure. Naturally an oper- ation which will usually get them home from hospital within two, or three weeks is the correct treatment in these cases. In other words each case must be treated according to all the circum- stances “present.

In. connection with the article in Saturday's Guardian. Farm Page, on "Divination for Water" or the reliability of usinr the crotch or switching for watt . a iepresentati of the Guardian had an interesting interview with Mr. B. R. Brown, Little York, who is a firm believer, iustified by exper- ience. in the crotch or switching. Mr. Brown spoke es follows: About twelve years ago I had as tenant of one of my houses at Lit- tle York the late Dr. J. C. MacDon- ald. That year was unusually dry. The pump supplying the water for the doctor was not far from the house, and the spring was supplied by a. never-failing underground stream. For the sanitation of my own house I had a cesspool about seven chains from the doctor's pump. One day the doctor came to me and said when he boiled the water it had a. peculiar tas as though affected by sewage. I " assured him he must be mistaken as the stream did not pass near my cesspool. He went away and returned sometime later with the same complaint. "Well I'll tell you what I'll do," I said. ."I’ll switch to see the dir- ection of the stream." "I don't believe in switching," said the doctor, “there is nothing to it." I told him. however, that my brother-in-law, Mr. Heath Vessey, was an expert wieldcr of the switch. and there could be no harm in giv- ing him an opportunity of trying the experiment. But the doctor was not to be convinced. However, I got, Mr. Vessey and he started out from the doctor's well and mad- ually located the supply of water as coming from the direction of the north. The switch was attracted" to the ground in a zig-zag direc- tion. Just as one naturally would expect a stream to run. In the course of its travels it was found to pass within two or three yards of my cesspool. When Dr. MacDonald‘ realized thc undoubted success of the switch. he declared he could not have believed it possible unless Jin had seen it with his own eyes. So swflafied was he that he ordered the discontinuance oi’ his own wcll and asked: Mr. Vcasey to use the swrich to discover a suppfv of wuler from another direction. This Mr. Vmsey did, and succeeded within a few hours in locating anunder- ground flow of water that led di- rect to the corner oi’ the doctor's in use. The old well was permanently closed and the doctor was ever af- ter loud in his praise of the switch as a water detector. Mr. Brown cited another in- stance of thc efllcacy of the switch. When he built his new barn lic wanted a water supply and enga- ged another awitcher. This man located two springs, one at the cor- ner of his barn, and another and stronger one, between the rows of his stalls in the bam. For con- venlencc Mr. Brown chose the for- mer, with the result that after hor- lng a distance of 80 feet. he has had a prrmanent supply of water, abun- dant even in the driest of seasons. Mr. ‘Brown added a precaution- ary warning. I-Ie said care must be taken in Employing switchers. It is only certain individuals who pos- sess thc characteristics or power to make switching o, succggg, DR U G SPECIALS FREE! 50 Piece Jig Saw Puzzle with Purchase o!
