Powers and Stone, Inc., New York and Chicago. >A) " = WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1929 _-- a THE WATERWAY AND OSHAWA The address delivered by J. C. McRuery K.C, 'at the meeting of the Oshawa Club on Monday even- ing relative to the St. Lawrence Waterways <develop- ment should give an impetus to the movement here to convince the federal authorities that Oshawa's harbor should be developed. In a convincing man. ner, Mr, McRuer pointed out the advantages which would come to Oshawa when this gréat work is completed, and ocean steamers can ply oti the waters of Lake Ontario. i This, however, will mean little to Oshawa, save that it would bring cheaper power, unless this city has a harbor fitted to take advantage of the oppor- tunities offered, Without a harbor, the channel to the sea might as well not exist so far as this city is concerned. With a properly developed harbor, however, a city such as Oshawa, with a tremendous yolume of manufactured products; would benefit tre- mendously by the provision of an open gate to the ocean and the countries which lie beyond: That is the point which the city coftneil and the Chamber of Commerce need to keep in mind in their efforts to induce the federal government to act in the matter. Oshawa, by reason of its volume of in- dustrial production, needs a harbor, and this should be hammered home when the matter ig under dis- cussion at Ottawa, : EDUCATION COSTS The estimates struck by the Oshawa Board of Bducation at its meeting on Monday night demon- strate the difficulty of keeping down the tax rate in a rapidly growing city, In spite of a surplus of over $12,000 left from last year, the board finds it neces- sary to ask the people to pay, in school taxes, some $15,000 more than was the case in 1928, This increase, of course, is largely due to the in- crease of the city's school population forcing the board into providing extra school accommodation, and, at the same time, more teachers, One of the things on which it is not wise to be penurious is education, for the laying of the right foundation for the young people is one of the most solemn respon- pibilities of citizenship, The board's difficulty, however, in keeping down school expenditures brings to the fore the fact that city councils have only a very little to say in regard to the total of the municipal taxes, The school rates have to be provided for the board of education, and the debenture charges are fixed and must be met ahead of everything else. Between them, these two factors are responsible for about two-thirds of the taxes, and only about one-third is in the power of the city council to control, Thus, even with the increased assessment which is effective this year, the eity council faces mo light tax in endeavoring to bring about a substantial re duction in the city's tax rate, A GOOD START The House of Commons has made a good start Only a day and a half have been occupied in getting rid of the address in reply to the speech from the throne, and even in that time little transpired to arouse much eomment. This is a good sign. It means that weeks of the time of parliament have been saved, for it is quite the usual thing to find this debate hanging on for weeks and weeks, for no other reason than to give 4s many as possible of the members an opportunity to hear themselves talk. Of course, it is very nice for these members to have their constituents read in the newspapers that they have taken part in the debate, but at the same time, it is just so much wasted oratory, for it does not have the slightest effect on the vote which is taken at the close of the debate, Now that so good a start has been made, it is to be hoped that it will continue, and that the mem- bers will very quickly settle down to the serious business which lies before them. The adoption of the same attitude towards the budget debate, which also has a tendency to drag on for weeks, would be convincing proof that there was a real desire on the part of the members of the house to do away with useless talking and to devote their time entirely to discussion of public. affairs which are really vit to the welfare of Canada. ENTHUSIASM COUNTS > A Presbyterian minister, in addressing an import- ant gathering of his brethren a few days ago, urged the need for "fresh fervor and stronger passion for the wotk of the church" and he urged bis hearers not to be ashamed of showing enthusiasm. That there was a nged for his injunction regarding the work of ihe church will be generally admitted, but + difference between failure and it is rather surprising that an appeal to be unafraid of showing enthusiasm should he felt necessary. Enthusiasm is that quality which makes all the success, between standing still and going ahead. The man who is | content with 'simply doing his job, will never have ~ anything more than just a job, and 'even that may be endangered. 2 The man with enthusiasm, and who is not afraid to show it and let it spread to others around him, will not stand still very long, Enthusiasm is one of the qualities of 'leadership, and is essential to the man who wishes to forge to the top of the ladder in his chosen life-work., Even the laborer may be enthu- siastic about doing his work well, but if he is, he will not remain a laborer very long. CONSCRIPTION. OF RESOURCES ; -- The proposal made in the House 6f Commons, that W Sie SE My: Dream Ship is tossed on the in time of war, not only the men of Canada, but all her wealth and resourcegfjshould be conscripted, is not a mew one. It was brought forward towards the close of the great war, but met with little sup- port, : Under the present world conditions, the subject. can have little more than a mere academic discus- sion in the House of Commons# It will be hard-to arouse anyone to fighting pitch 'on a matter of this kind at a time when every effort is being made to make war impossible in the future. Apart altogether from the merits of the proposal, which in themselves providé material for consider able controversy; it is not easy to imagine a body such as the Dominion parliament wasting much time in their discussion when the whple matter is more like a subjéct for. a high school debate than for serious action at the present time, -------- y CANCER RESEARCH The director of the John Hopkins University ane nounces that a great advance has 'been made in the treatment of cancer as a result of biological research ,'at that institute, and that definitc steps are being . made towards the discovery of a form of treatment which will be definitely remedial, There are few diseases which take so great a toll of life as cancer, and few which have so long baffled the efforts of scientists to discover a specific cure. That some hope can be held out to sufferers from it is welcome news. The men engaged in research work have a task which only a few Years ago would have been considered hopeless, but such have been the ad- vances in research work and science that there are good reasons to believe 'that a successful method of treatment is in the process of evolution, That it may soon be made available for the sufferers from this tterrible disease is the fervept hope of humanity in this day, EDITORIAL NOTES Premier Ferguson is bringing iy his township school board bill once again. After so fhany attempts to sc- cure popular approval for it, and after universal con- lemnation year after year since it was first mooted, one woul dimaginec he would be ready to throw it in the garbage can, The fact that this-township school bill is again be- ing introduced is a fairly good sign that the premier is' not contemplating an early election, A measure of this kind will hardly attract many votes from the pack concessions of the province, But perhaps Pre mier Ferguson feels that he is sure of a majority even without them, « Other Editors' Comment - AMERICAN VIEWPOINT (Detroit Free Rress) 3 Commander Byrd wires: "Wethave left civilization at last."

Education is necessary, but not the kind that education speaks of as disciplinary; hard knocks and adversity will accomplish that, OLD AGE PENSIONS (Toronto Star) If old age pensions cannot be paid in Ontario without the municipalities chipping in 25 per cent. of the cost the people will approve of the measure, But why should the Government of this province impose that expense upon the muni- cipalities when in every other part of the Do- minion where pensions are paid the entire cost is divided evenly between the federal and provineial governments? . CAUSE OF INSANITY (Woodstock-Sentinel Review) The stress of living in the cities is today a more potent factor in causing insanity than the loneliness of the isolated farm and settlement on which em- phasis has been so frequently laid in 'the past in Canada, according to Dr. W. M. English, medical superintendent of the Ontario Hospital, Brockville, with over 800 patients, On the other hand, tele- phones, motor cars and radigg Lave broken down the isolation of the farmer ai settler and insanity through loneliness is no longer found in the degree formerly known. : y » + Bits of Vgrse - . | WHITE TREES ' The stark white nakedness of sycamores Carved on the gray > Of this dark day, And on my mind, Will be as unforgettable as light To one struck blind.

Casemore,, 96 Third street, Chatham, According to Ed- ward Franee, the mctorman, Case- more saw the radial, but failed to apply his brakes until he was too close to the crossing for the brakes to bring the car to a stop on the icy pavement, The motor vehicie skidded directly in front of the radial, which demoiished it. Case- more was extricated from the wreckage, and rushed to Grace Hospital here, where it is feared that he has internal injuries. THREE MEN INJURED Mimico, Feb, 13.--Three Mim- fco men were cut and gashed about the face in an automobile accident on the Toronto-Hamilton Highway, near Louisa street, last night when a truck of the St. Lawrence Trans- port Company, driven by W. Guy- att of 13% Market street, Hamil- ton, collided with an automobile driven by E. Mitchell, 43 Vane- very street, Mimico. Three passen- gers in Mitchell's car, C., R. Arm- strong, W, Jackson and Albert Evans, were injured and were taken to the office of Dr. H. K. Conn, Lat#r they were taken to their homes. According to the police, Mitchell swung in toward the truck to avert a head-on col- lision with an automobile, driven by Mayor W. A. Edwards of Mim- ico, Chief Constable Herman and Highway Constable Fred Shaw iu- vestigated, but did not hold any of the drivers involved, 'That Body By James W. Barton, M.D. CAUSE OF LUMBAGO, SCIA- TICA, LOW BACK PAIN. You bend down to pick up some- thing from the floor and as you straighten up you feel a sharp pain in lower back or in hip. And the pain remains until you assume a certain position, or take aspirin or other pain killing drug. ¢ Perhaps you take a good dose of epsom salts or a seidlitz powder and the pain goes away temporarily, This condition was called lumbago or sciatica in the past, but sow a new name has been given it--myof- ascitis, which simply means an in- flammation of the muscles and cov- erings of muscles, It is due to infection from some source in the body, and the teeth and tonsils have been blamed, and rightly blamed for a great many of the cases, but Dr, Fred H. Albee tells us that while infected teeth and tonsils may have been the starting point, that the condition often per- sists for a long time after the bad tegth and tonsils have been removed. 'hy? , Because these poisons still remain in the lower intestine, and are ab- sorbed into the blood. The treatment then is obvious. It means clearing intestine daily with small doses of epsom salts or seidlitz powders, and using high enemas or injections into lower intestine. However there are a couple of points to remember, A considerable number of these low back pains are due to strain, and rest and the application oi ade hesive strappings about the sides and back of the hip joints is indicated, together with considerable rest ly- ing down, And the other point is that the bad teeth or tonsils should be immedi- ately removed, as they are really the factory that is making the poison, Therefore no one should be -satis- fied to suffer with sciatica or lum- bago, and simply allay the pain with aspirin, There is some definite cause which should be located, and the likely places to find it are the teeth, ton- sils, sinues, gall bladder and last by not least the large intestine, , Remember that the poison remains in the system for a long time after the cause is removed.
