This is a new departure and one which, as a logical outcome of the school fair movement, will commend itself to our rural readers especially. It will bc the object of the Central Fair to bring together at least all the first prize exhibits of the regular school fairs through- out the Province.

With the elimination tak- ing place at the smaller fairs, the Central Fair promises to be to this Province what the Royal Fair is to the Dominion in livestock exhibits. The cost, it is understood, will be met out of the school fair grants. Interest in school fairs this year as a result of the Government's de- cision in this matter is expected to be particularly keen. It is possible that second, as well as first prize winners will have the privilege of exhibiting at the Central Fair, thus giving additional opportunity to competitors to make good. While primarily in the interests of agriculture, the Central School Fair will be a big event for the city.

MD i"""" It would seem that of all the lit- tle suggestions made by health writ- ers about ailments or defects of the body, the suggestion that a great many cases of varicose veins includ- ing hemorrhoids or piles could be cured by injecting substances into the veins, has aroused the most in- terest. This gives some idea of the number of sufferers with this 511. » ment. When you remember what was necessary in former days you are not surprised at this great interest < for it meant weeks in hospital, loss of time, and considerable expense. Now it means three to perhaps six [trips to the physician's office, and ' no time loct from work. | Unfortunately there are some f cases where this method is not suc. Icessful; in fact surgery itself might F not be effective, so that if your ‘physician or surgeon informs you that he cannot help you, it is bc- cause you are one of this type. The usual test, as to whether the deep veins will take care of the cir- culation if the outer veins under the skin are injected or removed by sur- gery, is to wrap a tight bandage around the leg thus shutting off the circulation in the outer veins. If pain or discomfort follows, showing that the deep veins are getting shut of‘! also, then it is of no use to in- ject or remove the outer veins. A few months ago I spoke of the fact that very few cases if varicose veins are now undergoing opera- .tlon, as the injection method has won its way practically everywhere. The fact that the army is now using this method is worthy of note. Dr. E. T. Newell, Chattanooga, Tenn, states that for the past two years not a single operation has been performed on varicose veins in his clinic. the injection method alone being irsed, as it allows the patient to be about, is safer, more effective (that ls fewer cases have to return for further treatment) and is much less expensive to the pati- ent. The point then is that the injec- tion method is the method of choice of surgeons everywhere but there are some cases, particularly hemorr- holds or piles, where the injection method is not considered advisable. Going Our Own Way (Mail and Empire) It is one of the most remarkable things in history that Canadian nationality has grown and developed as ii: has in the overwhelming sha- dow of the great neighboring Re- public. With only an imaginary lino between, this country went its way, decade after decade, treasuring its own British institutions and main- taining its loyalty to the British monarchy and the British Empire. when such testing times came as those provided by the Reciprocity Treaty of 1911, and the outbreak of war in 1914, there was no question of Canada's stand. It is certainly to be hoped that the strong nation- al and Imperial sentiments of the country, which have never stun-en- dered to other subversive influences, will not be diverted by the new media of propaganda found in the jradio and moving ‘picture shows.

The difference 1n the two render- ings, which is not easily accounted for, may be oonsdered unimportant; but Jonson was, like R. L.

St. James Manse. Charlottetown "HONOUR T0 WHOM" Sir,-In a letter on "Civic Troub- les" in the Patriot signed by “M", the writer tries to make us believe this poor individual taxpayer's’ head. The fact of the matter is, the weaent Mayor enjoys too much’ power. Ifhehadtne power he would' certainly make some drastic chi-nae!‘ around the city hall in the way of some very competent. city officials and replacing them with his own‘ plls irrespective of‘ their fitneu. What surprises me is that "m. Taxpayer" even gives credit to the Government for being the responsible party. Isn't it ter- rible that the pruent Mayor can- not get any more power than former Mayors?

Must he go out and buy a sufficient quantity of stock to meet his ob- ligation? - he 1s one of the fairmnded sort, but after his explanation of the resolutions re. appointments of officers Doyle and Bradley, he [proves the very opposite.

The Mayor presented Ithls to the Council, the same pass- ed. When it came to putting of- lficer Bradley's resolution before the ‘meeting he said "I will hold this one up." What right, did he have to hold it up? He as choc-man should present this motion and let the coun- decide the matter.

Here are a few ‘such remarks-Councillor to chair, I “Your Worship, I do not under- ‘stand you". Mayors reply, "I don't care whether you do or not."
