New York and Chicage TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21st, 1830 SUPPORTING THE WATERWAY An important step was taken by the On- tario Associated Boards of Trade and Cham- bers of Commerce, when, at the annual con- vention in Cornwall, the delegates passed a resolution calling for the least possible de- lay in the development of the St. Lawrence Waterway. Coming from so important a body, this resolution has much significance. It means that the united force of the Cham- bers of Commerce and Boards of Trade in Ontario has been placed behind the project. This should carry much weight with the government, and particularly with a govern- ment which has so large a body of support- ers from the province of Ontario. The Oshawa Chamber of Commerce has given splendid leadership in trying to foster interest in the St. Lawrence Waterway de- velopment, and the adoption of this resolu- tion by the convention means that the atti- tude of this city has been endorsed by the province, so far as bodies of this character are concerned, and that a strong public opin- ion, strong enough to focus attention on the project, is slowly but surely being built up, THE LITTLE THEATRE IN OSHAWA After two years of operation as a greafly- enjoyed institution, the Little Theatre is in " danger of eclipse. Last winter, in spite of the strenuous efforts of its officers and friends, it was able to complete the season only by reason of the generosity of one or two enthusiasts who made liberal eontribu- tions to enable it to carry on. This situation was due, largely, to the general condition of affairs in Oshawa, and these same conditions have dealt the Little Theatre so great a blow that its very existence is now in doubt. 1t is to be hoped that this movement will not be allowed to die out completely. It has a definite place in a community like Oshawa. The growth of the talkies has driven the legitimate drama from stages of nearly every city in Canada, and its only hope for survival rests with Little Theatre . tions. It would be hopeless,--and the offi- ners Theatre in Oshawa could operate during i coming winter on the same basis as in th last two seasons. But every effort should be made to keep it in existence, even if only in the form of a drama club bearing- its ' name. Towards that end, a meeting of those interested is being held in Rotary Hall on Monday evening of next week, and it is the earnest hope of those who have labored hard on behalf of the Little Theatre movement, that the attendance at this meeting will be such as to enable them to keep the work alive until such time as conditions again warrant its resumption on the scale of the last two years. a DOMINION PREFERENCES " 1t is now rumored from - London that should the British government refuse to come to any t with the overseas {for tariffs and Empire preferen- ces, the other nations within the Empire will ts between themselves, leav- he cold.

DIRECTORSHIPS -------- It is somewhat interesting to read in des- patches from Ottawa that some hundreds of loyal Conservative workers are clamoring for places on the directorate of the Canadian National Railways, After the election of July 28, the directors, all of whom had been appointed by the Liberal Government, ten- dered their resignations. Now it rests with the new government to name a new board, or, as an alternative, to refuse to accept these resignations. It is not likely, however, that the latter course will be adopted, be- cause the pressure of party applicants for these positions will be too great upon the government. In view of the general understanding that the operation of the Canadian National Rail- ways was to be kept absolutely free from party politics, this revelation of affairs is distressing. If the directorships on the C. N.R. are to become political plums, involving a change in the peysonnel of the directorate every time a new government takes office, then the C.N.R. is bound to become hopeless- ly involved in partisan politics, with all that this rasans. Under the guidance of Sir Henry Thornton and those who have worked with him as directors, the system has made astonishing progress, and it would be the petter, part of wisdom to leave well alone, and order the politicians. who are seeking personal gain to keep their hands off the ad- ministration and direction of the railways of the country. But that is too much to * hope for, and we are, in all probability, to be treated to the spectacle of having a board of directors for the C.N.R. appointed solely on the grounds of faithful political service whenever the government of Canada changes hands. DEEDS, NOT WORDS, WANTED Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas uttered a timely warning at a dinner given to the Imperial conference delegates. He warned them that, - if the problems of unemployment and Em- pire trade are to be solved, it will not be by merely . passing resolutions and making speeches. His suggestion was that action must take the place of mere talking, and that those who are concerned with the evo. lution of plans to create new prosperity within the Empire must be ready to devote themselves to practical work towards that end. The warning is one that should be heeded, not only by those who are charged with the responsibility of guiding the affairs of the Imperial conference, but by all citizens of the Empire. . It is all very well to talk about what should be done to bring back pros. perity, but that can only be effective when the words are backed up by actions. For instance, it is fine to listen to speeches about buying goods made in Canada, and about spendipg money to promote prosperity. But all the talking in the world will not bring back, prosperity until these principles are translated into definite action, until the people as a whole take up the challenge set before them, and act upon it. That is the message of the speech of Mr, Thomas, and it is one worth heeding, and putting into practice as a means of reliev- ing the conditions which now exist. A DANGEROUS SEASON It is generally considered that the sum- mer season with its crowded highways, is the most dangerous time of the year for motorists. That, however, is not altogether true. The season on which we are now en- tering has its dangers, too, and they are just as great as those of crowded roads. Slippery pavements, coated with wet leaves, hold treacherous possibilities for the un. wary motorist. A sudden-application of the brakes, turning corners at too great a speed, and other driving practices which would be quite safe on dry highways, are pregnant with possibilities for disaster at this time of the year. The wise motorist realizes this, and drives accordingly. And that means that not only does he cut down his speed and exercise more care in turning corners, or while driving in heavy traffic, but also makes sure that his brakes are in perfect operating condition, so that the danger of skidding will be lessened and human lives safeguarded.

Sinclair (Toronto Mail and Empire) o We rather sympathize with the view of The Oshawa Dally Times that Mr. W. E. N, Sinclair should not be loaded with all of the blame for his party's fallure in the last few years. According to the Times, which is published in Mr, Sinclair's home town, "there is frankly a de- mand from some quarters for a change in leadership, This is to be expected, of course, from the de- feat of the Liberals in the provin- cial election of July 28. It is a long time gince any Liberal leader has led his party to victory in On- tario, and it is not unusual to find disgruntled followers blaming the lack of success on the leader, Yhother that blame is deserved or not." As our Oshawa contemporary states. the leadership of an Opposi- tion party is always a thankless task. It certainly was so in the case of Mr, J. P. Whitney, Mr, Robert Borden, Mr. Willrid Lau- rier, and oth party chiefs tains, until they won their first vic. tory at the polls. Mr. Sinclair's failure has been partly occasioned by tie fact that he has, for -the most. part, been forced to play a game of solituire, "Much as a leader can do, he can- ngt carry the whole burden of mak- ing the party successfol on kis own shoulders. Mr. Sinclair hadtedo this in the last provincial election. when, -single-handed, he stumped the whole province and met the at. tacks of the entire Conservative candidature. He 'has never been given his just dues for the gallant fight he made in that campaign, and had there been even half a dozen men lke himself, willing to carry the battle across the province, the result might have been. different." This seemp to be good common sense; for it has been the misfor- tune of Mr, Sinélair to lead au ill. conditioned party, having no real incentive except hatred for the Con. servatives. Not only this, It may be said without unfairness shat the divisions in the Liberal party over prohibition bave compelled Mr, Sin. clair to become something of a pol. litical acrobat. accomodating him. self now to the desires of the drys. Altogether, therefore, we think that the Opposition chieftain, who fs now threatened with loss of his leadership, is deserving of consider. able popular sympathy.

That Body of Pours By Jemes W. Barton, M.D. BAD TASTE IN THE MOUTH One of the mean things that occur with a number of individuals is » bad taste in the mouth, If your mouth feels dry and is accompanied by the bad taste the natural belief is that you have been sleeping with your mouth open and that is likely the cause. Now bad tonsils, adenoids, enfarg- ed turbinates in the nose may all in. duce mouth breathing and give dry mouth and the bad taste, However, if throughout the day « | when you can control your breathing « | and breathe mostly through the nose, and you still have dry mouth and bad taste then you will have to look elsewhere for the cause. And in the majority of cases it is due to lazi ness, stoppage or stasis as it is call ed, in the large intestine. Now if you have the time and the money it might be well to take a barium meal and have X ray pic tures taken, as this meal passes through the entire body including the large intestine, This will cost you $20 to $30, or perhaps more, but practically every step of the route can be noted, and it is likely that there will be a stoppage delay at any of the following points: where small intestine empties into large intestine; at a point a few inches past this point; where the large intestine goes up the right side of the body; where it makes a turn to go across abdor men to left side; where it makes a turn to go down the left side; where it has to make an § turn at lowest part of left side, Now everybody has these turns or curves and some of them are sharp curves and yet as there is no delay there is no distress, no dry mouth, no bad taste, Where there is a delay you can expect the dry mouth and bad taste, As you know the usual treatment for this is calomel followed by ep- som salts, and for quick relief this treatment cannot be criticized. How- ever, it should not be necessary to use drugs, as the intestine may be made to move its contents along if you are willing to do three minutes exercise twice a day. Keep the knees straight and rock from side to side; bend forward and backward; twist the body from side to side. muscle walls of the intestine, and stimulate action, Eating vegetables and fruit, and drinking water will also be of help, You don't have to have a bad taste in your mouth, (Registered in Accordance With the Copyright Act), bv C.
