Livesay, well known Cam 4 , on the dramatic ef- forts of Ul ans who took part in the Little ' Theatre Bioduction this week, is worthy of the attention of the people of Oshawa, Mis, Livesay has made a close study of the Ukrainian people, their music, their art and their characteristics, and she sees in these'things a worth-while contri- bution to the national life of Canada. And in the efforts of the Oshawa Ukrainians, in their operetta, she sees an opportunity for Oshdwa to take a léading part in placing these factors at the disposal of the people of this country, Mrs, Livesay, in her com- ment on the performance, said: "Oshawa has every reason to be proud of its Ukrainian Dramatic Society. It is a feather in Oshawa's cap that it should have talent capable of staging such a perform. ance. These Ukrainians are making history ~ Oshawe Sometimes it takes an outsider to fully appreciate the good things that are to be found in a community. There is in Oshawa, 'of course, a growing. intefest in the doings of the Ukrainian colony,. Part of that inter- est may be due to certain motives of self- interest, but on the whole, it;has been cre- ' ated because of the prominence given in the press to the recent musical and dramatic performances of these people. Even yet, however, there is still far from an adequate appreciation: of what theganry 'doing. As Mrs, Livesay says, they are "making his. tory" for Oshawa. They are making Osh- awa known as the centre of a new type of | culture, a type of culture that is deserving of the highest admiration. In doing this, they are making a contribution to the city that should not be disregarded, and which should be remembered by the English-speak- ing Canadians whenever these new Cana. dians give them an opportunity to support their dramatic and musical activities, TEACHING FRENCH IN THE. SCHOOLS Considerable interest has been aroused by the announcement that the minister of edu- cation of Onthrio has approved the' teaching of French in the two highest grades of the public schools of Ottawa. It is even inti mated that this approval is to be made the subject of discussion by the Orange Order in Ontario, and that there is some liklihood | , Exactly what good reason can be found for opposing it cannot easily be understood. If there were need for criticism, that could be more advantageously directed at the min- ister of education because he had restrict. French in the public ji grounding in English, Such a system would do a great desl to bring the racial groups in Canada into closer relationships with each other, and that is something which is much needed in this country. EXAMPLARY SENTENCES The quick punishment handed out to the two bandits convicted of holding up a bank in Toronto a week or so ago should be a les- son to all who may have in their minds any idea of turning to e¢riminal methods as a means of acquiring riches in a hurry, The young man and woman in question were ar- rested in three hours after the crime had been committed, and in less than a week the man had been sentenced to fifteen years in the penitentiary and thirty lashes, and the: " girl, on account of her youth, had been given two years in a reformatory, It may seem that the punishment given the male bandit was unduly severe. Yet it is only by such sentences that society can be protected from the actions of men of that type. Leniency and slipshod methods of ad- ministering justice in such cases would have * a disastrous effect, for at the first sign of relaxation of the law in this country, there would be a speedy invasion by professional gunmen and gangsters from the United States. Canada has been able to keep these criminals at arm's length, but it is only by instances such as that cited that they will be kept there. OVERALLS GROWING POPULAR There is a good omen in the fact that sales of overalls are showing a great increase this spring. One of the largest manufacturers of work clothing on this continent announe- 'ed that there is a renewed and growing de. mand for all kinds of overalls, that during March the sales were seventy per cent, greater than in February, and twenty per cent, greater than in March of last year. Commenting on this, the Detroit News pays a tribute to the man who works in overalls, and says it is a good sign that there is & greater tendency to seek the type of work that requires overalls, rather than what. are known as "white collar jobs." The News, in its editorial, says i= "For after all the basis of Prosperity is the rank and file of overall wearers, They turn the soil and sow the seed and man the assembly line and load the cars. And their pay envelopes move the stocks of goods and stimulate that circulation which is the life current of business. The ap- pearance of the overalls is the signal for an wivine all along the line toward prosper. ty." That is sound logic, and one can only hope that not only will the demand for overalls continue to increase, but that along with it will come an increased demand for the ser- vices of the mem who wear them. RETURNING TO NORMAL Sir Henvy Thornton is one of the keenest students of business in Canada. He has to be. His position as president of the Canad- dian National Railways system demands that he be able to forsee the trend of busi- ness throughout the country. Therefore it is encouraging to find him publicly expres- ging the view that business activity in Can- ada is on the increase, that it is increasing steadily, and that by the month of August normal conditions will prevail, One naturally hopes that the prediction of Sir Henry Thornton will be realized. Canada has passed and is passing through a trying period, and any indication that things are on the mend will be received with eagerness and with joy, Competent judges have all along inclined to the opinion that this depression is only temporary, and should the optimistic statement of Sir Henry be justified by events in the near future, there will yet be hopes that the. last half of 1980 will be much more prosperous than the first half, EDITORIAL NOTES "Sometimes men can be the awfullest nuis- ances in the world,"--Peggy Hopkins Joyce.

Most cases are found in women, sometimes in those who have ¢hronie Andigestion, are melancholy by nature with. tendency to constipation, and also in those who are high strung, active with a tendency to diarrhoea, They are usually much below weight, and as some one expresses it they often "quarrel" with their food, until. they reach a point where no food looks good to them, the blood "becomes thin, and they have colicky pains, Notwithstanding the fact that the intestine is so active with the passage of so much mucous, there is usually no danger as far as life is concerned, It Is believed that the trouble is entirely in the nerves supplying the intestine, There are two sets of ner- ves, one set making the muscles con tract and moe contents. along, and the other set pleventing movement, However in certain nervous types where there has been shock or emo- tional strain, in those who are de- pressed, and also in excitable or ysterical individuals, the nerves which make the muscular walls of intestine contract seem to be busier or stronger than the ones which pre. vent contraction, and 80 An excess of mucous from the intestinal sur» face is thus manufactured, Now you can. understand that If the cause i» of nervous origin the treatment must be directed toward helping the nervous system, As food seems to be "on the mind" of the patient he should be made to understand that he can eat practic- ally everything except very course foods, Even course foods may he eaten if a good quantity of fat is also used, Fresh air, exercise rest, and a calm mind, the knowledge that there is no danger to life, should bring relief, The use of enemas of warm water or paraffin oil, once or twice a week, is of help, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act) DR. BANTING AN ARTIST AS WELL AS A SCIENTIST Discoverer of Insulin Mod. estly Exhibits 28 of His Works (Written for the Canadian Press by Jehanne Bietry Salinger) Toronto, May 3~How medicine can have anything to do with paints ing is a question which sounds like a puzgle--and the how of the ques: tion would undoubtedly' take a great deal of imagination to answer it When it comes to facts it is much easier, however, to find distinct res lations here and there, between the disciples of Esculapes and the prac- titioners of the new brush, Chicago, which enjoys the distine- tion of being a very forward eity, in more than a thousand ways, boasts of having in its midst a group of medis cal doctors who have become so much interested in painting that they have recently formed themselves into an art association, Who started the movement, I do not know, but if there is such a thin as "esprit de corps" it. Is not out o place to feel that Canadian medicals may eventually give as an exe ample to professional men as the Chicago doctors, for no less a man than Doctor F, G, Banting, the in« sulin discoverer, has come to the fore and is doing in painting mere than the average amateur cam usually hope to accomplish, N The interest of Dr A ink for painting is not new. When he ae. companied the Artic Expedition of courtesy of the Minister of the Ine terior, he did not go as a man of science, as a medical doctor, but as an amateur keenly interested in painting, Alex Jackson had been ins vited to go as artist of the expedis tion, As a testimony of his vital in terest in the art achievements of the former, during the trip to Godhavn, Greenland, Dr, Banting wrote a warn introduction to the Hook of Draws ings of the Far North which Jacks son published upon his return, Since then many of the leisure hours of Dr. Banting have been give en to the pleasant game of paints ing " fover of Quebee anu of the quaint traditions and ways of living of the "habitantst" and the insulin discoverer loves to go off on sketches ing trips along the trail that leads far into the interior of Canada, where peopla still have fumily traditions, where people are humble and religs fous and where hapbiness radiates from the rustic hearth His last trip to {Hehe was taken during the month of February, Tren ty-five small paintings are the res ut that trip.
