It IS even available in the non—R months and promises to be so from now on. The reason is that the Do- minion Governmcnt has been encouraging the oystcr to such an extent that it is now being farmed off an extensive scale at Malpeque Bay and other resorts in Prince Edward Island. The oyster farms are in addition to the fishing beds which are ‘open to that part of the public which has the industry and strength to work them.

The League depended upon collective- ness to make it effective, and that having failed in the case of Ethiopia, no other small nation is likely to continue to put its trust in it. Hence the rearming of all nations big and small, with the notable exception of Canada the faith of which is not in the League but the Mother Country. *6 ii iii In the Senate, Hon.

Town Council members felt that peddling of meat on the public streets is unsanitary and det- rimental to health, since inspection of meats sold in this way is almost impossible. It was also held that this practice was unfair to butchers who pay high taxes. ¥ 9K *9 In Melboume on VVednesday, three days before the budget here was delivered, Represen- tative GULLETT announced in Parliament that the Canada-United States trade treaty detracted in some degree from the value of the Canadian pre- ference toward Australia; however, as a result of representations made to Canada, the Domin- ion Government had agreed to place a duty on dried fruits, with the exception of currants, on a four cents basis during the life of the Aus- tralia-Canada treaty. ilé BF BK Rev. KAREL M. WEGKAMP, Ph.D., credited with being one of the organizers of the “Hatless Manhattan Club” who surprised New Yorkers some years ago by appearing on the street witli- out hats, died in Toronto General Hospital on Friday at the age of sixty-nine. Mr. VVEGKAMP often recalled his New York experience, saying that there was much opposition at first "but to- day there are thousands who go hatless." He was a familiar figure about Toronto streets in his long walks. He wore no underwear or socks. On growth in production by the Island Province's oyster farmers since 1933, when the new devel- opment was put into effect. In the earlier years the sales from areas leased and cultivated under l, the Fisheries Department's policy totalled only 92 barrels, while last year they had risen to 1,000 Ind one and a half barrels. This is exact, accord- : "ing to the bulletin, which rightly claims this to be proof of the success and expansion of the _'farming programme. These areas were first of- [fered for lease in the autumn of 1931, and in the following year the number under cultivation was 26, with an approximate total size of 110 1 acres. Last year the leased areas being farmed numbered 140 of a combined size of 601 acres, not all of which were in actual use. In 1932 the farmers planted 254 barrels of oysters in build- ing up their producing stock, while last year the plantings totalled 2,103 barrels, exclusive of a jnouple of hundred barrels left on the beds ,for part of the season only. There is a scientist in charge of this Atlantic oyster investigation, namely, Dr_ A. \V. H. NEEDLER, who declares that the oyster farming industry is now estab- lished and growing rapidly. This will be gratify- ing news for the lovers of the oyster as a food to be eaten on the half-shell, in a glass, fried, or as stew or soup. There are even gounnets, or rather gourmands, who delight in "the \frog," "that is, a third of a glass of oysters topped with two—thirds of beer. Not so delicate, perhaps, but rather good, if one may say so. But in whatever " form, the oyster is succulent, and, thanks to Canada's Fisheries Department. and the Prince .. Edward Island farmers of the beds, it may be eaten with confidence. The oyster is supervised ‘ All through its career, from sea bed to counter -"oi dining room table.” The Gazette is evidently unaware that not- wmfithstanding the progress made in rehabilitating four oyster industry, the all-Liberal Legislature of the Province has petitioned for abolition of the leasing policy under which, since 1933, 3 l ;.

The students stage a parade every Spring collecting funds for the Edinburgh Hospital. Some bright genius suggested “kidnapping" a popular actress then playing at one of the thea- tres, and holding up the management for $125 for her release. But they reckoned without their host for it turned out the actress was married and her husband on the scene. The result is, notwith- standing the plea of the actress on their behalf, the students have been deprived of “rectorial priv- iliges”, while the police “take a very serious view of the occurrence and are proceeding with in- quiries with a view to prosecution. X BK X Mr. J. M. M/lcooNNl:1.1.’s letter to the Lon- don Times on the Canadian "attitude towards foreign affairs should be read with as much at- tention in Canada as in England. He divides‘ Canadian opinions into three groups: the “one hundred per cent. North Americans" who have made themselves believe that Canada can live and die apart from Europe; the Imperialists, "attitude of 1914"; and the Collectivists, who recognize that we cannot evade foreign responsi- bilities but are prepared to assume them only as members of the League. He declines to estimate the relative strength of these classes, but assigns the French and the foreign elements "on the whole” to the first, Unless the other two’ groups can be brought into some measure of union there is obviously every prospect of the “North Ameri- can” view dominating Canadian policy, though Mr. Macnonmru. does not make this explicit statement; he does however make it clear that the only way in which’ the two other groups can be united in by means of "clear and unequiv- l iltenfold growth in production" was achieved. 1 ‘d h‘ C, B ' ' - 11 nllvn, omulnn air In W19 I Public Utlllt Act. ‘#1:. tall‘: :s°~.....°' "'°.:*.-.-.'.:--.......-“.*:..-:.'.' .*':.':.'~':..*”".-:=‘.*z..*.+.-..."°....."~* --.:: '~;'..§§'::‘..':'.......'*"‘".:*. .1 .....z ‘;-‘ Ed“0|'lfl' N039’ , day Night. ‘I " _ -nun . well iii training and o\Il\‘)ok to oimin and Utilities" wu-rboInMMnh-v-iien- .7.’ . . .. -. - 0.1“, - V "‘ V ni'iavTii. mm!” "..;'l‘..‘.7..’°.'.’;..‘.'.3’.‘."i....i.‘Z”.§.‘i‘l'.‘$’.‘$..?. whites-ndtomlilko-unooiialilisii p,-. .

CABBUNCLE some of the disastrous results fol. lowing the squeezing of ii boll to get. out the "core" are known to every physician, and patients are always warned that the boll should be allowed to "point" before any opening should be made, if at all. A boil usually occurs when i. him- on the Isktn gets rubbed or pulled out and the dirt eontainiiig little organisms that are always on the skin plugs this opening and the organisms manufacturing pus. For- tunately this pus Ls walled on or kept away from the rest of the body by the little white corpuscles of the blood which form is wtill around the poison. This wall is the hard lump around the boil which you can feel with your flnxers. The treatment of ii boll is In heat; hot compresses if possible, or wbat. is now being used to a great extent, the hot rnaizneslum sul- phate (Epsom salts) dressing. The "dry" form of rruigneslum sulphate is used which contains 12 per cent less water than the usual "crystal" form with which we are all lam- llllr. This to mixed with glycerlne to form a thick paste. put on KW-I. nnd applied directly to the boil. nu plum absorbs moisture so should be kept. well covered between applic- ations.
