Ar- thur Meighen speaking on the rapidly growing movement of the various provinces of Canada to secure better treatment under the consideration agreement, declared that while Cana- the various problems would largely be solved if a more human touch was established with the extremities of the country. "The shattering of the dream of our black as the dismemberment of the countries of long ago, a reflection on our patriotism, a backward shep in civilation," he declared. He made an appeal for "Canadian coal in which central Canada should be as vitally interested as the seae- board privinces. Mr Meighen declared freight rates must be reduced and the burden born more by the Dominion as a whole.

J. Hushion, liberal, 5,125; W. M. Rirks, conservative, 4,078. One poll remains to be counted in Rimouski, but this is expected to swell the major- ity for Gen. Sir Eugene Fiset, which stands at 1,917. Three other by-elections are in sight Northumberland in October, and West Hastings and Yale, writs for the latter two not having been issued yet. The standing of parties in the house is now Progressives 62, Conservatives b0, Independent 8, Government 114. OTTAWA, Sept. 3--The results of two by-elections in St. Antoine and Rimouski were received with enthus- iasm by members of government and supporters here. "The result of by- elections are the clearest possible endorsation of the government's fiscal | policy," declared Premier King. "Our policy of developing Canada's natural resources as a basis of her rural and industrial development and the means of solving problems with which - cur ' country has been confronted since the . great war has received wholehearted support from the electors of Montreal and Rimouski, one an industrial and ® the other a rural constituency." § ' MONCTON, N.B., Sept. 3--Hon. Ar- 'thur Meighen who passed through Moncton, en route from Halifax to Newcastle accompanied by Mrs Meig- 'hen, declined to make any comment i when -informed of the results of the by-election in St. Antoine and Rim- ouski, REGINA, Sask., Sept. 3.--Under the ; caption "Without an alibi" the Regina Morning Leader, commenting on the by-election says: "The outcome of the by-elections in St. Antoine and Rimouski affords both the government and the country every i reason for satisfaction. A government seldom has been called upon to meet the opposition under condtiions less favourable to it and come out of the! contest so successfully. The leader of the opposition has no alibi--and it is hard to see where he will turn for the smallest grain of consolation. CALGARY HERALD--"The result of the election in Rimouski was never in doubt. Rimouski has long been a safe liberal seat. The situation was different in St. Antoine. The Montreal constituency has been traditionally con servative. Local conditions, the con- struction of the Montreal bridge for instance, promised by-the government, and possibly the old conscription issue had more effect than the broader issues of free trade or protection."

It is now becoming an established fact that public - health nurses are urgently needed in every district. The record of examinations made at ran- dom in ome community shows the actual conditions as it exists at present throughout the Province. Here is one report made by a nurse:-- In the total of 592 children examin- ed during the demonstration, there were 1106 defects suspected by the nurse, the precentage of defective hearing, dental defects and mal- nutrition cases being especiall high. Several extreme cases of defective vision were found; two of these children were examined by an eye specialist who advised admission to the Ontario school for the blind, and an effort is being made to have them admitted there. A case of congenital dislocation of the hip--a girl of eleven--had been at- tending schood daily and had never received any treatment for his disa- bility. The Junior Red Cross of On- tario has been asked to take an interest in her, and through their effort it is hoped to have heradmitted to the hespital for sick children and treat- ment instituted. 457 follow-up visits were made to the home of school children. The number of corrections known to have been made before the departure of the nurse include 3 cases for which glasses had been procured, 26 cases of dental corrections and 6 operations for the demoval of tonsils and adenoids. In one instance of home visiting, 'an infant of a few days old was found t with a serious eye condition which was receiving no treatmen, owing to the 'early discovery and the gratuitions "services of the local physician, the * child's eye-sight was restored.

Besides all this they discovered a new route to the top of the pecond highest peak in the Rockies, Mount Columbia, 12,000 feet, which was made in a return journey of twenty-three hours. The aim of the exploring party, to conquer the South Twin, was successfully attained. The Field-Harris party left Lake Louise five weeks ago ccompanied by two guides, five packers and nineteen rses, and travelled 200 miles into the Columbia ice 3 kiss students who were accompanied by their Swiss guides. The students who climbed and named the new eaks in the famous Columbia ice field are Osgood Field, rederick Field and Lemond Harris of Boston. They were led by the noted Canadian Pacific Railway guide Edward Fuez, the oldest guide in point of service in the Canadian rockies. Two of the newly conquered peaks have been named Mount Harvard and Mount Hotchkiss The party made five first ascents including the hitherto Sir terrific winds from the ice fields and once they were forced to halt a day at Mistayah lake in order to make rafts with which to get their horses across. Here, at the foot of Mount Patterson, they put up a bivouac camp and accompanied by the weird howling of the wild ice winds of this district spent most of their night thrubbing a ukelele and singing warm southern songs. Lemonde Harris had his own Swiss guide with him, Joseph Biner who has guided him for many years in the Swiss Alps. "Edward Fuez whe has been guiding in the Canadian Rockies since 1903 was the man who success- fully manouvered this valuable expedition. The greatest novelty of the trip, he stated on his return, was the meeting of fourteen American girls on the lonely forks of the North Saskatchewan River, who were travelling alone with their packers. The girlsinsisted that the party sto off for dinner with them that night, following which ¢ note of civilization was zdded to their wild northern environment by the seund of the Ukelele and the swish of dancing feet over pine needles dimly lizhted by a blasing log camp fire.

A great audience which filled every inch of space in the hall gathered to greet the premiers and accorded them an enthusiastic welcome but did not have the pleasure of hearing either speak- ing for the two statesmen sat quietly with their respective delegations and listened to the debate of the work of league's council during the past year. Subsequently both premiers with- drew for a preliminary private t=lk before motoring to one of Geneva s beautiful parks, where they were guests at a luncheon tendered by the administrative council of the city. A tribute to the notable progress achieved by the league was paid by the Persian Prince, Arfaad Doyle, who appeared on the platform wearing a pictuersque black fez. Last year, he said, Persia had expressed her doubts about the usefulness of the league but now, he added, all the mist has been dissipated and no moe could fail to see that the league was moving onward to achievement helpful to mankind. 21 807 wel bn ET Eh TRA WT ERY RE rr Er i " ?" 2" 39 {] " HAMBURGER STEAK FRESH KILLED VEAL EACH DAY.
