Who Selects Candidates? _ As predicted in yesterdny’s Guardian, MR. I. LARADEE, M.P.-elect, has agreed to vacate his seat in Quec-n's County to enable HON. CiiAnLi-:s A__DUNNiNo, _Finance Minister in -the KING Government, to run for the con- stituency, and as a reward for tl-iis favour 'it is agreed that MR. I.ARArmi=, is to he ap- » `pointcd't0 a newly created position at the tax- payers' expense of “special officer in the De- partment of Fisheries to supervise boats of the department on the Atlantic,”-ea position for which, it is announced, “provision was made in the listiiiiatcs some time ago,” presumably with an eye to just such a political cniergency~as has arisen. The nature of the duties attaching to such an :ippointiiient are not clearlydefiiied, 'but the salary will no doubt be adequate to compensate for the loss of Mn. L.-\RAuii:’s $4,-_ 000 animal sessional indemnity. , - The bargain concluded, a “formal invit- ation” was yesterday extended by the executive of the Quecn's County Liberal Association to Mn, ,Dt'N.\'iNG to accept nomination, which he promptly did.`:\ccordiiig to today’s Guardian despatches, _the invitation came to MR. DUN- NING “several days ago" from the Queen’s County Association--though MR. SINCLAIR, l\l.l‘., knew nothing about it on Monday. This. like the mystery' surrounding the LEA Govcrninent's recent bond issue, is unexplain- able except on the ground that there are wheels within wheels iii the Liberal party machine, and it is not alivays easy to say \vliich is the driving wheel, _ At first, apparently, negotiations were en- tered iiito_witli MR. A. E. MACLI-:AN to vacate his scat in Prince County, but for some reason this deal fell through. Whether the other Island nienibers-elect: DR. GRANT and MR. PETER SINCLAIR, were approached in the matl ter has not been divulged, but the latter, at any rate, was not backward in taking the very first opportunity of expressing his pleasure at the prospect of having an influential member of the Government as his colleague, .\Vhetlier the electors of Queens County are pleased at the`prospcct of having an outsider- howevei- influential-foisted upon them as their representative is a question which, in the event of Ma. DU`N.\1i:~:n’s by-election being contested, they will be able to answer for themselves. But our contemporary’s argument, that the Province would be honoured in having the Finance Min- ister as its cabinet representative, does not prove that Prince Edward Island interests would be looked after to the same extent as they would be by an Island minister, or even by an Island member. MR. DUNNINc.'s position, as our con- temporary states, is, next to the Prime l\liii- ister’s, perhaps the most important. He would be too busy to acquire that intimate knowledge of his constituency’s affairs which' satisfactory representation requires. So far as we are aware. MR. DUNNING has made but one visit to this Province; that was several years ago, during an election campaign. In the event of him suc- ceeding MR. LAizADi;iz as MR. SiNcLAiR’s col- league, it would be upon MR. SiNci.AiR that the duties of looking after Queen's County inter- ests would devolve almost entirely. Himself a tyro in federal politics, with no past experience in Parliament, MR. SINCLAUI might conceivably find such responsibility beyond even his capac- ity to discharge. The Province had one exper- ience in representation by remote control, dur- ing the occupancy of the Prince County seat by the present Prime Minister. That was suf- ficient to prove its undesirability, which in ef- .fect was admitted by MR, KING when he with- 'drew in MR. .\lAcLicAN’s favour_ _ ‘ The need, however, of finding a scat for »I\li<. l)L‘NNIN<: is a pressing one, It was first iiitiinated that he would represent an English- _speaking coiistituciicy in Quebec; but Liberal optimism received a rude .shock in the. recent provinchil contest there and it was decided to seek pastures new. Mn. KING in foisting his "-\\’estern colleague on this Province no doubt had in mind the fact that he himself, when out in the \vildei'ness, found a foothold here. from ‘wliicli to_’s parents have long since died and her surviving relatives are convinced that she is dead, but the police have never stop- ped searchiiig for her. lf she is alive, she is 51 years of age and probably would have con- siderable diificulty in identifying herself. The cases of SMALL, ARNOLD and _Iudge CRATER are annoying records on the police blotters, and the Missing Persons Bureau in Toronto and_New York won’t stop until satisfied that the theatre niagnate, the heiress and the jurist are dead, actually as well as legally. ' ik élt Sit The problem of food and nutrition is not simple. There is no one diet suitable for all people either in health or disease. Proper advice about diets demands a knowledge not only of chemistry, physics, biology and of physiology, the science which deals with the normal func- tions of the body, but also of pathology, the science which deals with conditions of the body in disease. Dr. I. M. RABINOWITCII, assistant professor of medicine at McGill University and director of metabolism, Montreal General 'Hos- pital declares. The physician alont, Dr, RABINO- wircn points out, is in a position to guide the individual in matters of 'nutrition He warns against the dangers of the increasing popularity of uninteiiigent dieting. Such practices, if con- tinued, he believes, must inevitably lead to ser- ious impairment of health, not only because of misappiieation of properly established diets, but of the uses of food materiali or cornbinations of food materials, which notwithstanding the claims made for them by so-called authorities on diet, have no foundation whatsoever in loiiiid theiry or lu fact i v British Mother of Parliament's supremacy in ‘_|B'r\1nswlck, 'and Dntario.

One of the embarrassing positions ln which a. physician nnds himself ln treating a stubborn case of indlg. estlon is whether or not to recom- mend the Xray examination, There are a number of symptom; that make him suspicious of cancer-the age of the patient. some log or weight. persistent pain after eating food-but he dislikes to put the patient to the expense and log 91 time of the Xray examination. The examination means a num- ber of visits to the Xray specialist, extending as long ns n, week or inore in some eases. Yet with the signs and symptoms already pres. ent. the physician cannot quite make up his mind and knows that the Windsor Star.

Many. folk do not begin to live up to their i possibilities because their special' talent is not equal to that of their neighbor. And so they drift help- lessly _through the years, when their lives might have experlencesi of thrill and accomplishment. This thought even applies to giving. Any church official knows that therg are scores of folk who, be- cause they cannot. glve five dollars like their neighbor, withhold the one dollar that they might donate, and give nothing.-Bt.
