THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE ONT. THURSDAY, JAN, 31", 1935 BROKE HER LEG AGAINST A STAIR Whilst Hampered by Rheumatism '■ "Two years ago," writes a Woman, "I was suffering with rheumatism in my legs, and when walking upstairs one day just kicked my right foot against the stairs, and broke my leg just below the knee. I was in hospital for four months, and when I 1 came out someone advised me to try Kruschen Salts. I did so, and now I have no trace of rheumatism. I ' -would not be without my daily dose 1 of Kruschen, which I take every morning--half a teaspoonful in warm water."--Mrs. P. B. The six salts in Krifschen stimulate the liver and kidneys to healthy, regular action: assist them to get rid of the excess uric acid which is the cause of rheumatic pains. When poisonous uric acid goes--with its tlepo: it? of needle-pointed crystals-- there's no doubt about those aches and pains going too 1 Paralysis Its Control Or Prevention H Still Believed Far Away No means of controlling of preventing infantile paralysis or poliomyelitis has yet been found, Dr W. Lloyd Aycock of Harvard reports. He thinks little of protective vaccination. Even with an effective vaccine there Is no satisfactory method of determining which children should be vaccin- Most of us are immune to infantile paralysis because we have had imperceptibly mild doses of it. Dr. Aycock would like to select the susceptible. Tests would have to be made among the very young. Even here there would be uncertainty. Few children would prove to be immune, yet many would develop immunity without contracting a violent case of the disease. Dr. Aycock believes that the key may lie in heredity. By studying family histories it might be possible to learn more about the nature of transmitted susceptibility. Ultimately the relatively small portion of the population most likely to acquire the disease could be selected. To this smaJl portion preventive measures not feasible for the entire population might be applied. » It is doing the little "extras," the things we're not asked to do-- The favors that help one's brother to trust in God and you;.

"There are hundreds of ways of making money," he said, provocatively. "Yes," put in Mr. Swanke, "but only one honest way." "What way's that?" asked Mr. Swear, sharply. "Ah!" retorted Mr. Swanke.

Undoubtedly, the war placed a great strain upon the capitalistic system. That system has been the result of a process of evolution and as such has been subject to modifications from time to time to meet changing conditions. Further modifications and changes may be a necessity if we are to be rid of the evils of major depressions. Tbe difficulties in the At the Sixty-Sixth Annual Meeting of The Royal Bank of Canada, held in Montreal, Morris W. Wilson President, and Managing Director, paid tribute to the distinguished service rendered to the bank by Sir Herbert Holt, who had presided at. successive Annual Meetings for over a quarter of a century, and whose outstanding ability and prestige have been important factors in the sound and consistent growth of tlie bank during his regime.

Referring to the recent revision of the Bank Ac: and the Act incorporating tbe Bank of Canada, he stated that at the puBlic hearings preceding these enactments the bankers were able to justify their administration. He warned that the" curtailment of earning power resulting from restrictiuiis upon interest rates chargeable by banks and the withdrawal of note-issuing privileges will inevitably reduce the ability of banks to maintain unproductive branches in small communities. Banking profits have never been excessive, and if an efficient banking system is to be maintained, there is a point beyond which enforced economies to meet falling revenues on one hand, and increased taxation on the other, cannot safely be carried. Referring to taxation, Mr. Wilson said: -- "For every dollar paid in dividends last year we paid sixty-seven cents to the Canadian tax-gatherer. This does not take into account the income tax paid by our shareholders themselves on dividends received from the Bank. Surely these figures require no comment." In discussing the improved conditions in Canada, Mr. Wilson pointed out that during the past year manufacturing and employment have approximated the levels of 1926; iron and steel production, the output of automobiles, textiles and electrical energy had increased and the value of exports^ notably lumber and minerals, had advanced substantially. The wheat crop was no larger, but fortunate-, ly, higher prices prevailed. The value of field, crops had increased over $100,0000,000 and the enhanced purchasing power of the farmers had stimulated trade throughout the country. There has been increased demand for Canadian mineral products abroad anticipated that the output of Canadian gold minoo will c:[we*' $100,000,000, as compared with $85,000,000 in 1933. The building boom in Great Britain created precedented demand for Canadian lumber and a record volume ot shipments has been made during the past year. He mentioned the importance of the tourist trade to Canada, which had amounted to over $300,000,000 a year and for several years brought more money into Canada than our wheat exports. Newsprint. "Demand from the United States for newsprint has been strong, with the result that the output of the Canadian mills in 1934 was more than twenty-five per cent, higher than in the previous year.' In fact, it was within five per cent, of the peak year of 1929. Prices however, were even lower than in economies operations have contin-1933 and, despite the most rigid ued on an unprofitable basis. The Railway Situation "The railway situation continues to be the most important economic problem in Canada. Obviously, the Canadian people cannot stand indefinitely a weekly drain of over $1,000,000 for railway deficits, and the time is rapidly approaching when more drastic and effective action will have to be taken if we are to maintain national credit and solvency." Referring to world affairs, the President said that in spite of tense political situations during the past year, business has continued to improve. Production in Great Britain and several other countries was greater than in 1928, "It is only in the countries of the gold bloc where business has become materially worse during the year. World trade, however, must, be released from the multitude ot new restrictions which were among the worst products of the depression, if it is to regain healthy vigor. Excessive economic nationalism has proved a dangerous boomerang, striking down home industries as well as those of foreign countries. I believe that the pendulum of opinion has begun to swing toward better economic relationships between countries, and I look upon this new attitude as a happy augury of further favorable developments during the coming year. The Capitalistic System "It is not surprising that new social experiments should have been undertaken in many countries in the hope of mitigating the suf- shortages. At the present moment the major difficulties have to do with the distribution of an increas-ing surplus which tends to exceed purchasing i which will provid< Increasing at- i the exchange .

At the beginning of the new year conditions, both at home and abroad, favor a continuation of this uward trend. It is true that in Canada there remain a number of difficult problems for which practical solutions are necessary, but I believe that the Canadian people have the courage and ability to solve such problems in a rational manner. It is upon the basis of past performance that I look forward to 1935 with renewed confidence." General Manager's Address In his remarks, Mr. S. G. Dob-son, newly appointed General Manager, referred to the very satisfactory nature of the Annual Report and Balance Sheet presented. He said in part: --"After several years of declining figures, due to general Conditions, I am glad to say the trpnd has not only been arrested, put under most headings has teen reversed, in some instances to a substantial degree." In reviewing the Financial Statement,, he said:--"Perhaps the most gratifying feature of the Balance Sheet^is the increase of over $50,-total deposits by the total is now $612,579,-tnadian branches contrib-,000,000 of this total in-" ./hich $11,000,000 is in the Savings category. It is inUjo^st- ing t posits ? that Spells "Olibanum" And Wins Contest (New York Times.) High school teachers, economists, business executives and an editor were spelled down in Town Hall by Sam Pope Brewer, a reporter on the New York Herald Tribune, in a spelling bee between college and non-college teams. John H. Cowie of the Town Hall Club, which has been staging the contests annually for three years, gave words from Phyfe's "5,000 Words Often Misspelled," and after they seemed too easy he turned to a special list culled from Webster's unabridged dictionary. There were about twenty contestants on each side, about the same number of men as women. "Apparel" tripped a woman on the non-college side as the first victim. Theli Miss Mabel Goodrich, an editor at Macmillan's, went down on "beleaguer." "I'd have sworn there were two 'IV just as in 'vellum,'" she said as she came out of line. "Chevron" eliminated another woman. She 'spelled it "cheveron." Then Ted Brannigan,, an engineer for the Public Service Company of New Jersey, blushed and said "pass" when he got "diocese." He was out. In the audience women trying to be helpful were making signs with their mouths in attempts to save floundering contestants, but they gave the wrong letters as often as they gave the right ones. Mrs. Doris Webster, who wrote "I've Got Your Number," a book on self-analysis, and whose husband , is a grandnephew of Mark Twain, I went out on "aberration"; she spel-■ led it with two "b's". A. E. Goodhue, vice president of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company, put an "e" in luxuriant and went to the sidelines. The New York Times reporter spelled "dominoes" without an "e" and was counted out. Mrs. Maud Nathan, a cousin of Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo of the United States Supreme Courts, who had stayed through a long list of the more difficult words, stumbled on "bivouac," but she recovered in time to pull through. She went down eventually though, on "xylophone." Joseph Alsop, who was reporting the match for the Herald Tribune, slipped on "dyeing"; he left out the "e". "Frolickling" eliminated Victor Whitlock, a lawyer--he left out the "k"--and "myrmidon" eliminated another contestant shown by every province in iue Dominion. "Current loans in Canada show an increase for the first time since 1929, and are up over $10,000,000. This is a significant change, reflecting, as do other items in the Balance Sheet, a heartening increase in Canadian business activities." Mr. Dobson pointed out that all banks in Canada, because of their easy cash position, are looking for desirable loaning business, and the comparatively small increase under this heading reflects a lack of demand for loans, rather than a restriction of credit. "Profits for the year were $4,-398,217, but are not properly comparable with published profits for the previous year because heretofore they were reported after deducting Provincial taxes, but before Federal taxes. For the sake of uniformity, and the fuller information of shareholders, both classes of taxes are now disclosed in the published report. Making allowance for the resulting increase under this heading, profits are iower by $268,448, leaving $1,506,-804 to be carried forward in Profit & Loss Account, after the usual deductions for dividends, taxes, etc. "In keeping with the downward trend in interest rates and the resulting difficulty in employing funds profitably, the bank and most other institutions accepting deposits reduced their rates on in-.< rest-bearing accounts % of 1% 1 run November 1, 1934. This has had a beneficial effect upon bond prices, and has helped to reduce the cost of Dominion and Provincial financing." Mr. Dobson made special reference to the satisfactory results achieved by the branches outside of Canada and the valuable assistance they have given to exporters in the development of their trade iu the countries w-here the bank is represented. In conclusion, he .said: -- 'On the whole. 1934 may be regarded as a year of substantial recovery for Canada. While we still have many problems to solve, we have, I believe, every justification for looking forward with confidence to a further improvement in conditions during 1935."

Neither Mr. Brewer nor Miss Hel-muth could spell "planxty," which is "an Irish melody for the harp." But that was explainable, for every one in the room thought the reader was calling out "planked steak." On a vote the word was eliminated from the contest. "Opiphagism" was easy for Mr. Brewer, and Miss Helmuth took "opodeldoc" in her stride. Both missed on "oneirocritic," although Mr. Brewer got it on his second try. "Olibanum" was too much for Miss Helmuth. She spelled it with an "e." Mr. Brewer spelled it properly and the match was over. Quebec To Extend Mortgage Holiday Quebec--Because of the serious state in which Quebec property owners are the Quebec Government has decided to extend its moratorium on mortgages for another year, it announced from official s last :ek.
