Much of the interior work referred to, costing thousands 0f dollars and including such fancy items as el- aborate toilets, tile flooring for the Pren1ier's office, ornamental plastering and luxurious fit- tings and furnishings, adds nothing to the stabil- ity of the building. It will be recalled that when the MAcMILLAN Government very necessary work 0f reconditioning the stone- work, roof and other essential parts they were severely criticised. The alleged “extravagance” undertook the building from de- struction was made a campaign issue, one now prominent member of the Liberal Gov- ernment going so far as to tell the electors that the Conservatives were “tearing d0\vn the Pro- vincial Building." What a farce that Liberal “ec0nomy" campaign turned out to be! For weeks past the CAMPBELL Government has g been spending money like drunken sailors in re- ,_ modelling, re-flooring, re-plastering and re- ,1 decorating government offices, and Liberal par- tisans are reaping a golden harvest at the tax- payers’ expense. 5 "Item Agreed To" Short and sweet was the discussion in Par- liament 011 “United States tariff 771” relating to seed potatoes under the Washington agreement. We quote it as appears in full in Hansard 0f March 1 7 : M1‘. ROWE (Duflerin) 2 Would the minister give Us the tariff 0n potatoes for table use? Mr. EULER: It is ‘l5 cents per hundred pounds. Mr. ROWE (Duflerin): it remains the same? ' Mr. EULER: Ya. I might say that under the fiawley-Smooth tariff the rate on this item was 7 cents per hundred pounds. Now it is so cents from December 1 to the last day of the following February and 45 cents from March l to Novem- ber 30, up to 750,000 bushels in any twelve month period beginning December 1 in any year. Mr. STIRLING: What was it under the F‘0rd- ney-McCumber tariff? Mr. EULER: Fifty cents per hundred pounds. Mr. ROWE (Dllflerin) t What is our tariff against United. States potatoes? Mr. EULER t Free. Mr. ROWE (Dufierin) : I might point out thht we allow United ‘States potatoes in free and we have-to pay '15 cents a hundred pounds going to the United States. Mr. EULER: I understand‘ that, but again it is incidentalto the granting of the intermed- ‘late tariff to the United States. Last year, of course. my hon. friends had an opportunity of placing s. tariff in the intermediate column if they had so desired Mr. LAWSON: But you are complaining of all the tariffs we did place there. Mr. STEWART: The government must take the responsibility for this; they cannot place any of it on the former government. This is their agreement. ‘ Item agreed to. Lessons From Aroostook Some time ago, a Boston newspaper carried I series of interesting articles on the potato growing industry of Aroostook, and the de- pressed conditions prevailing by reason of low prices. Excerpts from these articles have already appeard in The GUARDIAN. One point of interest not previously referred to, however, was the fact that while Aroostook farmers are potato growers “first, last, and all the time," the more successful 0f them are the ones who have made their one- crop creed somewhat flexible. At the time 0f writing, the Boston reporter found about 500 growers still capable of financing their own crops, and whose properties were not mortgaged to the hilt. One thing I noticed about all these success- ful growers," he writes; "they raise almost every- , thing the family eats and some besides. Always there is n. field of wheat working in their rots- tion; in the fall they haul their grain to the local grist mill and have it ground on shares. They Bri- enough back to last the family through the year and have a. few barrels to sell besides. “They keep enough cows to furnish their fam- ily with all the milk, cream and butter they 6511 tuck away and still have butter left aver to trade in at the store for sugar, coffee, spices, extracts and the other mines they wvt produce on thtll‘ farm. They do the some thins with their exec» eggs. It. makes the difference between just exist- ing and really living."

Another interesting fact reported 1s that at least one urban community in Aroostook, though hard hit by the depression, has been able to keep going financially. At Easton, a town of 1.500 population, there are eight‘ teachers. “All the schools are open and all the »__ teachers are being, and always have been paid 1n 163811.

WOMEN AND PBOHIBITION Sin-I believe it might be truth- fully said that no group of people in this province has better oppor- tunlties for influencing public opin- ion in the matter of things that af- fect home life than has the Wo- mens‘ Institutes. It is therefore en- cournging to find them so loyally supporting prohibition as is indica- ted in the brief letter in your issue of the 24th inst. No one suffers more than the wives and mothers the evil results of the liquor drink- g. I hope, therefore, they will not be lulled into n. sense of faise security by the statement of the Premier. He speaks for himself, and for his administration, and we can rest up- on his promise. But he cannot, and doubtless did not give anyone to understand that he could speak for the House as a whole. Some of his opponents may speak of him as u dictator, but let us not fool ourselves by thinking that he can say what the House shall do in this matter. We wish he could. If the Women's Institutes have any plan for im- pressing upon the members of the House of Assembly that the people of this province want the Prohibi- tion Act malntsined and adequatel enforced, wisdom would decree th sacken not their efforts. “Eternal vigilance is the price-of safety" al- Wily-S.

It is with that feeling of inferiority which Burns expressed, when, visit- ing the Lord of the North, he felt like cringing into a corner and pul- ling the hat over his eyes. If an ordinary farmer is permitted to an- alyze the lettcr 0f such an honor- able gentleman, then, perhaps I am not running head-long into danger by doing so. The first impression is a plenitude of platitudes so plaus- ibly shown forth as to make a screen that would hide the inutility of building a bridge, and he carefully avoids stating in any specific way any single advantage the bridge would be for transportation or for shortening the route to Charlotte- town fcr the southern section. Would he tell us what an advan- tage a bridge would be, if a former wanted to ship 500 bushels of pota- toes? Would detcuring around by those bridges be an advantage? Is it not quite clear that farmers from the southern section further west, would get on to the Borden High- way at the nearest place and stay on that. highway, three miles of which 1s paved and the rest Well built and graded, rather than incur delay by reduced speed and by psy- ing tolls and other unforeseen con- ditions? would he compel poor Alice, who is not fa:- frorn the city by ferry, in carry g her load of buaketsto tho market, to go two miles west, than four miles north, then from two to four miles east to get to the city, a distance oi from 12 to 14 miles?

Dr. L. T. Swaim, in the Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion, ssys, “Good circulation pro- duces healing, and heat in any form, dry, moist, or diathermy improves circulation, drawing blood to the part. The second best method of improving circulation is massage (except; when the joints are swol- len). Exercise comes next; active exercise if possible, but exercise in some form." The correction of the posture (the way the individual stands or sits) can best be started in bad where every ease of arthritis (rheu- matism) should begin. Extending the body as much as possible, with the pillow under the shoulders, with the hands under the head, will ex- pand the chest, widen the space between the ribs of each side in front, and raise- the diaphragm (the floor o the chest.) This miss all the organs of the abdomen, and the pump action of the diaphragm gives better circulation throughout all parts o1 the body. would also cause farmers, in hauling heavy loads by the ice, t0 divide their loads and detour around the abutments over snow banks and through fences.

He was a gentleman "to the manner born" and a most likeoblo personality. Always u. welcome guest at the an- nual Press Gallery dinner, the function would not be complete un- less the Colonel recited "Jim Bluriso" from John Bay's "Pike County Bullock," and he did it well. Some evenings when the House adjourned early he would drift in- tc the press room, and then it was that three or four of us would get tho Colonel into a corner and start him reminiscing. He had entered tho public service in Tomato as far back as 1859 ,and thus became acquainted with men prominent in public life, before Confederation and after. The government in Canada. at that time consisted of Cartier, Gait, Alleyn, Bellesu and Sicotte, the representatives of lower Canada; and John A. Mac- donald, Vahkoughnet, Sidney Smith, John ‘Ross and George Sherwood, who represented the Up- ‘ per Province. In addition mere was in the legislative council or assemb- ly many others whose names up- pear in the page: of Canada's his- tory, such as Sir. Alexander Campbell. Sir Allan MacNsb, J. J. C. Abbott, Oliver Mowat, Malcolm Cameron, R. W. Scott, Isaac Bu- chanan, John Carling, Richard Cartwright, Christopher Dunkin, D'Arcy McGee and L. S. Hunt- ingdon. Of his days in Toronto the Col- onel had many interesting stories. He knew intimately Sir Allan Mac- Nab, whose portrait adorns, with others, the corridors adjacent to the Senate Charcber. Sir Allah was Speaker of the old legislative ss- sembly from 1844 to 1848. Later he becarq. Premier. Colonel Hurry told us that at a great social function in Toronto he fell in be- hind Sir Allan and his brother. The latter was chief of the Mac- Nab clan and naturally was pre- sented first. when the usher asked his name he drew himself up im- presively and replied. "The MiacNab." Then turning to Sir Allan the aids inquired “And your name, sir," topwhich with a smile on his lips he answered. “The other MncNab” ltrom Toronto the official staff, under the quadrennial arrange- ment, moved to Quebec, and there Colonel Smith remained until i866. the last. session of the old Parlia- ment. of Canada which was held. for the first time that your in the new Parliament Buildings at. Ot- tawa. The Colonel was well acquainted with D'Arcy McGee and had many interesting remini- scences of the great orator. Ho recalled one occasion when Sir George Cartier, who happened to be leading the House at. the time, received a severe castixution from McCeel Addressing the Speaker he said. "Suppose that any hon. member had a friend ln town whom he wished to entertain, do you think sir, for one moment that he would bring him hero to this House to show him the Ship of State drifting helplesly ahd hope- lessly along with such a figure- head as that at the prow? No, sir, he would take‘ him anywhere else- to a fire, if there happened to b0 one that night." _ _ McGee was mirrdered on April 5th, i868. The previous evening Colonel Smith, after the House had adjourned, had walked fromthe buildings with McGee as far u his rooms which were at t-ho corner oi Sparks and O'Connor streets, and had there parted from him. Lat/m- it was learned that they had been trailed almost to the door by the man or men who "got" McGee the next night.
