rE RAN ERA REPRESENTATIVES IN 0.8. Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicage, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1929 QB ,. Sb T------ LABOR'S COMMON-SENSE The Trades and Labor Council of Toronto showed excellent judgment in refusing to be linked with the Communists in a fight against the efforts of Chief of Police Draper to clear up the Communist situation in Toronto, There is a great difference, which is not always recognized, between the genuine labor or- ganization and those of the Communist stripe, There is a place for organized labor in the industrial life of any democratic country, and so long as it remains sane, and is satisfied to adopt constitutional methods to attain its ends, it will be recognized as a valuable factor in the life of the nation, The Communists, however, are different, Their great objective is the overthrow of constitutional gov ernment, and they are admittedly hoping for the at- tainment of that end by lining up labor against capital in a strife to the end for mastery. That idea of the value of labor organization is a foolish one, It forgets that labor and capital can only attain the highest ends for both by working together, by trying to see things from each other's viewpoint, and putting the golden rule into practice in their relationships with cach other, That may seem 2 high ideal, for an ideal it still is, but it should not be impossible in a world in which the Sermon on the Mount is supposcd to be the standard of cone duct in the most highly civilized industrial nations, IMPRESSED BY CANADA A young undergraduate of Cambridge, after three months as a laborer on a Canadian farm was so ime pressed that, on his return to England, he gave a glowing account of his experiences and impressions at 2 meeting of the Royal Empire Society in London, In one part of his address, he struck the keynote of life in this country, when he said, "Canada is a most democratic country, where everybody, whatever his position, is as good as his neighbour. The people are very informal and hospitable, You meet a person on a station platform, and find yoursclf talking to him in a iw minutes as if you had known him all your ife, That is an excellent impression for a young Eng- lishman to take home with him after three months on Canadian farms. One wonders, however, if it is entirely correct, Most people will admit, frankly, that they can hardly recognize their own country in that description. Yet, as seen through the eyes of people from the old land, Canada is a friendly country, a country in which it is much easier to make acquanitanceships than in the old world, and a coun- try in which there is greater opportunity for the masses than exists in the motherland, This national spirit of friendliness is worth culti- vating. With so many strangers from other lands entering Canada, and seeking to make their homes here, the hand of friendship is the most needful thing in making them feel that they are welcome here. In too many cases, sheer loneliness brings on homesick- ness, which sometimes results in tragedy, and often results in bitter disappointment to the newcomers. Canadians, to a large extent, were either born in other lands or are descended from earlier races of settlers, and they can well afford to look back to the days of their own or their ancestors' coming to this country, and think of how much a helpful and 2 friendly word meant to them. And these things are worth passing on to those who are now coming to this country. THE FARMER'S NEEDS Dr. G. 1. Christie, president of the Ontario Agri- cultural College, has been handing out some sage advice to those who look upon farming as an easy occupation. It has always been admitted that a farmer's work is not easy physically, that it calls for hard and unremitting toil, but the general conception has been that beyond that there was nothing much required for success in agriculture. That idea, however, is rapidly being dispelled, and Dr. Christie is making it part of his mission in life to help to dispel it. For instance, speaking in Tor- onto the other day, he said: "It takes 2 man of business, a man who is mot afraid to meet 2 multitude of problems to be 2 successful farmer mowadays. The greatest chal- lenge to a man's thinking powers and resource- fulness comes today from agriculture." Dr. Christie is mot far wrong. Not only does mo- dera farming call for a scientific knowledge of agri- culture, which takes in all the points of animal hus- " bandry and soil study, but it requires equal knowl- edge of the many problems of marketing. Most farmers mowadays can grow their crops successfully. Not all of them, however, have the knowledge mor tae inclimation to develop their live stock in a scien tific way, cad still fewer have acquired the knowledge To : ; _ ii THE OSHAWA DAILY [IMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1929 de , the, matketing of crops in, the most pros aa Pb ui Dre Christie calls atisation to the fast "that re_requires thinking powers and re- of a high order. The. future of agri culture depends on the extent to which ithe. farmers of Canada thy and them for Te den Motorists and others who hive been the victims of" 7 a motorist is found negligent in an accident, and an action against him for damages is sustained by the courts, he will have his motor car license and driving gett cancelled until such time as the damages are This is a statute which should make many negli- gent motorists more careful than they have been. It is made necessary by the fact that, in countless cases, it has been found almost. impossible to secure dams ages when these motorists are involved im accidents. In many cases, the drivers responsible carry no ine surance, and have nothing on which a seizure can' be made to force a settlement. The injured motorist, who is entitled to damages, then has to whistle for his money, and pay his own bills as best -he can.: The new law may make settlement of such claims more prompt, and will give the persons who have been injured or whose property has been damaged, a reasonable amount of protection from the road hogs who are usually responsible for serious accidents, FOREST CONSERVATION. It is gratifying to find that the Hon, Charles Stewart, federal minister of the interior, is taking an interest in the problem of forest conservation, and is convinced that the time has arrived for Canada to have a national stocktaking of her forest resources, There has been too general an idea that these re- sources were inexhaustible, and it must be confessed that many public men, in their enthusiasm to pro- claim the greatness of Canada, have ranted about the illimitable resources of the country, and have helped to foster that idea. Canada. does have large timber resources, but these are rapidly being depleted by industry and by the wastage from fire, Thus it is that those who have studied them have come to the conclusion that this denudation cannot go on for an indefinite time. They have realized that there must be a policy of refores- tation in order to preserve for posterity at least part of the heritage of timber which has been handed down by the generations that are gone. Both do- minion and provincial governments have in the past been lax in this respect, but it is encouraging to note that both Mr, Stewart, the dominion minister in charge and Mr, Finlayson, the Ontario minister of lands and forests, are taking active steps to put into effect a policy which will save the forests from the extinction which is surely threatening them, . EDITORIAL NOTES The Prince of Wales says that he hopes to pay another visit to Canada, No matter when he comes, he can always be sure of a loyal and royal welcome to this country, A Nebraska man killed the members of his family because he feared that insanity might befall them. His action proved that at least one member of the family was insane, A Wisconsin man was divorced by his wife because he took only one bath a year. This would make ex- cellent propaganda for those societies which are in- terested in health education, The federal government's estimates for this year are over six million dollars higher than last year. This dues rot look as if economy was being made the road to tax reduction, The Progressive leader in the legislature has introduced a bill to cheek political subscriptions. Probably he wants to bring the other two parties down to the same financial level as his own. In spite of all the other forms of literature, the Bible continues to be the world's best selling book, If it were only read in proportion to its sales, it would have z wonderful influence on uplifting the buman race. ~ Other Editors' Comment ~ THE WOMAN TEACHER ; (Toronto Globe) It is hardly possible to put a value in dollars on the work of any conscientious teacher, for the results which it brings the community and the country in mental and moral development are beyond monetary computation. This is peculiarly the case with respect to the work of the women teachers in the public schools, They are handling the children during the most impressionable period in their lives laying the educational foundations, All the junior s are in. their hands, Here the future student and citizen seceives the impetus which affects his entire career, The responsibility falling on the teacher is a grave one; it should not be complicated by worries over possible financial exigencies when the earning days ab RICH WITH AGE thro our lives we go on thering tr. . 1 with age, how very rich we are! adi What memories we have to give us pleasure, Time cannot alter or. misfortune mar} A little house amid the grass or heather, That was our father's house so long ago, And there again we all sit down together, Beside the sea, or in the firelight's glow.

Berton, M.D. STOMACH SNR INTESTINAL You have been suffering for some time what you and your friends call ston, you find things followin a sort of schedule, ou. cat a meal, everything feels all right for about Jw po Shen Jou begin to 0 ie 'stomach, usuall a little to the right of the middie line of the body, ain continues until you eat some food, then it cea- ses, you are free from pain for two hours, and and the pain returns, You find that ng soda or other alkali stops the pain, and ac- cordingly take Some, baking soda or use some soda when pain ar. rives, You consult your doctor and he diagnosis the trouble as an ulcer of the stomach or first part of ine testine. He has you take a barium meal at the, hospital and the ulcer is located, . Now there are two ways of treat- ing this condition, by medicine, or by surgery, Where the ulcer is blocking the assage of food from the stomach nia the small intestine, an operation must be performed, but in the major- ity of cases of ulcer of stomach or small intestine, it is usually worth while to use medical treatment, which consists simply of the use of alkalis to offset the acid juice~hydrochloric acid--which is thought to be the cause of the pain and ulcer, Now as the 'stomach needs this hydrochloric acid juice to digest the food, 'you can readily see that alka- lis like baking soda, or magnesium or lime salts, must interfere or stop the action of this juice, However Nature, as ever, keeps ahead of our needs, and so the pan- creatic juice which is poured on the food as it leaves the stomach, does the work that the stomach was un- able to do, However the first thought is to find out what is causing the ulcer and often it is poison frem bad teeth and tonsils, or some nose con- dition. And then alkaline prepara- tion of baking soda, magnesium, or bismuth are given after every meal, So don't suffer with indigestion of any kind, Find out what is wrong, ulcer, or simple inflammation, and follow the treatment faithfully, Keep it up for some weeks after feel that you are absolutely well, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.)
