Hence, the saying that “a man is as old as his arteries.” .\l‘h‘l‘i98 which have begun to harm-n. lose thcir elasticity and mum of their capacity to function. (innso-qucntly, there is some degree or intvrfcrcncc with the blood-sup- pl)‘ of the urgans 0f the body, which gradually atrophy and slow up in thcir activity. The total rcsult is a slowing-up «if the activity of the individual. Ho- bccomcs “chi.“ _ Some people seem to inherit bet- ter arterial tissue than others. This. together with a life in which the arteries are not abused or damaged, often seems to defer the hardening proeess beyond the average. Those who begin life with poor arterial tissue. and whose lives result in damage. to these structures, may de- velop arteriosclerosis long before the average. Bleeding Gums 1 Miss M. K. writes: “When I brush‘ my teeth, my gums bleed very easily. Sometimes they even bleed when I am not brushing my teeth. I brush them twice a day, and al- ways use the softest toothbrushes I can get and brush very gently. “'lmt would cause this bleeding?“ Reply Scurvy and pyorrhea are two possible causes. Any irritation of the gums may be a cause. As pyor- rhea is extremely common. it is most likely to be the cause in your case. The services of the dentist are required for effective treatment. Oranges. tomatoes and lemons will help you if scurvy happens to he the cause. Difleront Diseases Mrs. 'l‘. 'l‘. B. asks: "Is chicken- pox a mild form of small-pox?

T. K. writes: “One of my near relatives has what the doctors call pernicious anemia. They say that with rare. some people who have, this disease live for quite a while. but they do not give us much en- couragement as to a cure. I would like to know something about this (’lisease. Is it in any way catching? What eauses it? What can be done that otters the best chance?” Reply Pernirious anemia is a chronic disease in which there is a progres- sive. diminuation in the number of red eorpuscles in the blood. It is believed to be caused by the de- struction of the red cells. But just ;what causes the red cells of the blood to be destroyed is not known. There are some who believe that chronic poisoning as the result of bacterial infection is the cause, but th isis an improved theory. The disease is not eatching. . One. of the characteristics of per- nieious anemia is the tendency of the patient to show periods of im- provement. called remissions. Some- times. these remissions result in what. almost looks like recovery. and may last for considerable time. But. unfortunately. they are prac- tically always_ temporary. “ T bore is no known cure. Remov- al of all sources of infection, rest, fresh air. all the good food the pa- tient can eat, transfusions of blood. and the proper administration of ar- senic. constitute the best known troalmont. and kvop ers than those ploduced on older trees: that apples produced on clay loam have better keeping qualities than those grown on either heavy clay or sand.

There has been a perfect flood'of petitions laid upon the table of the Legislature recently, from church and other organizations relative to the proposed Temperance Act amendments. A common form has been the request that the Govern- ment “make no change in the Act except such as will strengthen it." It is for the House and the public to judge, now that the bill has been introduced, but the Government is ‘convinced, and most people will agree, that the numerous provisions of the measure brought down b Hon. W. F. Nickleon Thursday wi l IIUIIQ V' o I. o o‘lvuouv v .- .. __ go a long way toward removing some of the farcical features of the Act and restoring respect for law and order. In moving first reading; of the bill, the Attorney-General‘ Said: “Broadly speaking, the princi- ples are these: The Government thinks the time has come when we should get away from mere theor- 'etical principles and meet this prob- lem as a practical problem in a sound, common-sense way. In the debate on the Address, I said the lpresent limitation in the O. T. A. was artificial. onerous and certain- "0 v.-- ly not scientific. The Government feels that increasing the alcoholic content from 2% per cent proof spirits to 21%; per cent absolute al- cohol by volume is in the general interests of temperance, and as I? said on a previous occasion, the Government has been filled with alarm at the rapid extension of whisky and alcohol drinking in On- tario. Therefore, while the Gov- ernment respects the principle of the Act, in sale, making it an offense to sell liquor that is intoxicating, the Government is of Opinion that 2% per cent alcohol in beer does not make that beverage intoxicating, ,and, therefore, the Government ‘takes the responsibility of submit» ting an amendment to the Act to permit regularity of such sale. “My desire is to get away from much of the hypocrisy that has characterized the administration of temperance legislation, not only in this province but in other countries. You cannot brush the. tide back with a broom, but sometimes, if you can catch the tide at the ebb, you may to an extent, control it as it rolls in; and I believe. today, if we have wise temperance legislation and the coâ€"operation of the province in the administration of this law, we will Obtain a better temperance spirit than prevails today. w mn coâ€" ercion and compulsory abstinence have mado. in many countries where the people aro against tho law, al- most a rvbollion against law and «twdor in the broad acceptanvo of tlw .m'm.” Sale of the so-called 4.4 per cent l beer is to be more restricted than 1 was forecastet‘l. It will be sold on , a dual permit system. having re- I gard to the indiyic'luality of the ap- . plicant and the nature of the prem- ises. Its sale will be permitted. in f the words of the Attorney-General. . in standard hotels and well conduct- ‘ ed restaurants and cafeterias. for consumption on the premises. and by genuine grocery stores for de- yliyery. It will not. be sold to those“ Lunder 18 years of age. As had been anticipated. the number of pre- scriptions for liquor which a doctor may issue without coming under re- view by the license board is to be reduced from 50 to 30. In addition. the board may prohibit any drug- gist from supplying liquor on the prescription of any physician named. Wholesale druggists in fu- ture must obtain their supplies from the license board direct. Among the drastic provisions of the bill is one setting a fine of $5.000 in the. case of a brewer convicted of infringing the Act. and he may be required to give bond of $10,000. If a permit- holder. other than a brewer, of- fends. he is to be subject to line or imprisonment. without alternativeu for a first or subsequent offense. and upon a second otl‘ense. his premises may be closed for three months and placarded. On the other hand. a relaxation in the present law which . brought “Hear! Hear!" from mem- l bers of the House when it was ex- . plained, is to reduce from $200_t0 $50 the minimum fine for “havmg or drinking" liquor in a public » place. There have undoubtedly l been cases of severe hardship be- cause magistrates nad no option in THE DURHAM CHRONICLE cases of technical or unwitting in- fractions. Another change to avoid discrimination against those who have little means is found in ex- tension of the time allowed for ap- peal from a magistrate’s judgment in an O. T. A. action, from 10 days to 20. Debate will come upon sec- ond reading of the bill, and Premier Ferguson has promised to give am- ple notice of the date. When W. E. Raney, K.C., Pro- gressive Leader, unexpectedly and in violation of an arrangement be- 1 tween the leaders. introduced on 1 Tuesday an amendment to the bud- i get motion. he started something he 1 probably was not prepared for. One a result is that the debate goes over 1 until next week. The immediate 1 outcome was to bring down upon ; Mr. Raney's head the first real at- l tack to which his group has been subjected this session. Things had been going pretty smoothl . The . Conservatives had refraine from mentioning the Peter Smith case, and it remained for his former col- league to revive the whole contro- versy centreing about the Home Bank secret commissions. Mr. Ran- ey in his amendment took the re- markable course of moving censure Upon the Public Accounts Commit- tee of last year for “failure to make adequate investigation” of the com- missions. It must be remembered that. Mr. Haney himself was a mem- ber of the committee. but took no part. in its work: and. on the other hand. that Manning Doherty, R. H. . Kemp and other members of the U. . F. 0. group did take an active part in the committee investigations and : ('oneurrml in the report. that was - presented lo the House on the clos- '_ ing day of last session. So obvious- I ly was the amendment a political [ move that even Beniah Bowman, . Leslie Oke. 1’. F. 0. members, rose I on Thursday and declared they r would vote against it. Mr. Oke, who is member for East Lambton, said: “I cannot. feel that all the blame‘ can be attached to one administra- tion and let the other go soot-free. Any suSpicion having arisen, Mr. Drury should have been on the alert. This amendment would re- lieve the treasurer of the late gov- ernment of all responsibility. I was a member of the public accounts committee and sat through all the sessions. and I know of no instance where anything was held up or not. gone into. (Applause). The amend- ment is more. for political purposes than to get at the bottom of what has happened." Upon the same evening. E. Proulx (Liberal. Prescott) said he did not see how he. could vote for the amendment, unless it exhibited some. real desire to re-open the in- vestigatiomand bring new evidence before the. committee. Personally, he was a member of the committee and thought its work finished. Mr. Raney‘s speech had been care- fully prepared and typed. There was just. one thing overlooked. Af- ter being forced by the Speaker to withdraw an objectionable phrase used in regard to Hon. Mr. Price, provincial treasurer. Mr. Raney na- turally omitted some language of the same. kind that he had farther along in the same. speech, but forgot to inform his newspaper organ in Toronto. and that faithful news- paper reproduced the full text, in- cluding some. interesting passages .not uttered in the House. A striking feature of the debate was that W-il- liam Finlayson. (Conservative, East SimcoeW. who had been away at.- tending the funeral of Senator Benâ€" nett. dropped into the House in time to hear part of Mr. Rane ‘5 speech. At its close. he immediate y took the floor and without preparation, ex- cept that he was chairman of the public accounts committee last year, began a smashing reply which was not concluded until adjournment of the debate Wednesdav afternoon.

He recalled that D. D. Ridout was a Toronto insurance man, not a broker, but a close friend of the late J. Walter Currv, who though a Liberal, had been [ending valuable support to Mr. Raney in the Legislature. He came to the Parliament Buildings and made an ofl'er, which was accepted. for $l0,,000000 of six-months Treasury Bills; placed them within a day 01 two, and pocketed $100,000. Mr. Finlayson suggested that somebody LA-‘ in New York cleared another $100,- 000, while the Bank of Montreal was accustomed to handle such business1 for l/64th of one per cent.

The whole matter arose chieflv by reason of Premner Ferguson's decision to ask all mem- bers to refrain from having business relations with the Government.
