"experimenting" on sufferers from cancer to the apparent complete satisfaction of the said sufferâ€" ers. At the present time she is carrying on this work with the tacit approval of the government. What is the solution of the situation? â€" It seems clear enough now, if the government will continue to insist upon a fair deal for Miss Caisse. A large number of patients claim to have received great benefit from Miss Caisse‘s treatment for cancer, and this in view of the fact that few patients have gone to her before the doctors considered the cases about hopeless. Miss Caisse is a trained nurse of long experience and with a wide knowâ€" ledge of disease and its treatment. She is not a noviceâ€"not an illiterate, not a quack, but a skillâ€" ed and trained practitioner of the healing art. Many medical men have endorsed her treatment for cancer, including some ‘doctors in Timmins who took the trouble to investigate and who were fair enough to make enquiry before forming judgâ€" ment. Miss Caisse asks no more than this:â€" That the virtue of the treatment shall be judged\ solely on its success or failure in actual cases. It seems to be admitted that the treatment has no harmful or dangerous features under Miss Caisse‘s skilful methods. Why not have the new Cancer Commission take Miss Caisse at her word, even though such a procedure may seem shockingly common sense and reasonable? The editor of The Huntsville Forester has vouched for a numâ€" ber of cases in his own personal knowledge where patients, given up to die from cancer, were able to resume their normal healthy lives and work after treatment by Miss Caisse. Why not consider these cases, and decide on the facts? Why not, lake some other cases diagnosed as cancer, let Miss Caisse use her treatment on these cases, and ‘ then report the results? The public will have little sympathy with the Medical Council of Onâ€" tario or any Cancer Commission that refuses to consider such a logical plan. «4 The insistence of the Medical Council on the production of the formula first and talk about experimenting on frogs or guinea pigs or whatnot does not rouse much respect among laymen. For fAifteen years apparently Miss Caisse has been common senst The Huntsville ber of cases in patients, given resume their n treatment by these cases, a} In Monday‘s issue of The Advance reference was made to the regrettable fact that Miss Caisse had been forced to close her cancer clinic at Braceâ€" bridge. It was pointed out, that however great a triumph this might be for the Medical Council of Ontario, it was a loss to the people of the province. Since then, however, Hon. Harold J. Kirby, Minâ€" ister of Health for Ontario, has made warm denial of claims made by friends of Miss Caisse that the course of action taken by the government with reâ€" spect to cancer treatment left Miss Caisse no other alternative. "It should be made clear to. everyâ€" one," says Hon. Mr. Kirby, "that nothing in the act (the Cancers Remedy Act passed at the ‘last session of the legislature and to come into efféct on June 7th) prevents Miss Caisse from carrying on with her clinic as she has been doing in the past . . . There is nothing to prevent Miss Caisse from proceeding to patent her remedy if she so daesires . . .~I desire to fact that the Cancer Remedy Act neither prevents: Miss Caisse from carrying on with her clinic, nor inâ€" terferes with any patent rights she may have in the remedy." As soon as this attitude on the part of the government was made known, Miss Caisse reâ€"opened her cancer clinic at Bracebridge. "I am reassured by the Premier‘s message," Miss Caisse is quoted as saying, with the added words:â€" "I will continue my treatments until some solution of the situation can be found." | It is pleasant, however, to note that this condiâ€" tion is not to be permitted to continue. Mr. C. V. Gallaghér. member of the Legislature for the ridâ€" ing, was prompt in attention when the matter was called to his notice, and the department of highâ€" ways was equally speedy in arranging for a remedy. Official word from Toronto on Tuesday was to theeffect that the department of mghwayb will iimmediately apply dustâ€"layer to the back road so that travel may be safe as well as more healthy and more comfortable. In Monday‘s Advance reference was made to the nuisance and danger of the dust on the back road between Timmins and South Porcupine. It was urged that something be done to remedy the situâ€" ation before some serious accident occurred. With so much fine dust blowing, and with motor cars and trucéks as a consequence having "to go it blind", a serious accident seemed inevitable, espeâ€" cially with the increase of traffic on the road due to the fact that the highway between Timmins and South Porcupine was closed for traffic while repairs s’nd improvements were under way. Inâ€" deed, so great was the danger of accident, that it overshadowed the thoughts of health and comâ€" fort, though health and comfort could not heip but suffer seriously from such a surfeit of dust. It is pleasant, however, to note that this condiâ€" Canatda â€"$3.00 TIMMIN®S, QONTARIO Members Canadian Werkly Newspaper Association:; Onlacteâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association; Class ‘A" Weekly Group OFFICE 26 â€"â€"â€"â€" â€"â€"â€"â€"â€".

The story is to the effect that the transâ€" ients at North Bay have adopted the practice of begging for eggs from door to door. When a few Fire rangers are quoted as authority for the statement that bears invariably tear down all yellow signs in the bush, while leaving the white cards and other coloured posters undisturbed. With bulls pictured as notorious for their dislike of red, and bears now accused of hating yellow, it would be interesting to learn the reaction of Alâ€" goma wolves to the 1938 motor car markers. |GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER| That ought to make it all clear enough. In ot:l)er words the suggestion is that when a woman is drunk she is a lady. But that doesn‘t seem to solve the question, for "when is a woman or a lady drunk?" The authorities haven‘t been able to decide through all the centuries when even a mere man is drunk. ‘"When the implication is unmistakable that a lady is intended, the word ‘woman‘ is preferred, but when the word ‘woman‘ implies that a lady might not be intended, then the word used is ‘lady.‘ PP L DL C *Ct P Now after many years there comes further supâ€" jort for the supposedly ludicrous interchangt of terms. And from no less an authority than Emily Post who is to etiquette what Charley McCarthy is to radio. In answer to a question as to when the words lady and woman should be used the noted Emily Post makes the following pronounceâ€" ment:â€" ! â€" Suppose it were granted that Miss Caisse is'_‘ wrong in hesitating to disclose her formula, whyi ; not humour her in this one particular, rather than | worry about any ancient medical red tape? As a matter of fact Miss Caisse would not be clever | enough to have discovered a treatment for anyâ€" f thing if she were not suspicious of the good faith ‘and good will of the Medical Council. From the ; beginning their demand has been for the formula first. â€" Why? Individual doctors on the other| hand have shown a readiness to investigate results before talk of requiring formula. Many doctors,| indeed, have been recommending Miss Caisse‘s! treatment, and it would be interesting to know ifl !any pressure had been put on them by othcrl I l omas omm m c omm omm omm on sources to change their tactics in this particular. Miss Caisse appears to believe that the intention is to secure the formula, and that she will be j deprived not only of the credit for the discovexy' she has made, but that in addition she will be no longer permitted to practice her art in aiding canâ€" l cer patients. Who can blame her for such belief! in view of the way she has been treated throughâ€" out? The government had to step in and force special authority for her to continue her clinic. Why not the government continue to see that she has something like a fair deal in the matter of the investigation of the treatment? Too much inâ€" sistence on the formula first will incline the public|. to believe that the matter is being attacked in | the wrong way. It should be remembered that|â€" the formula is not all of the treatment. In unâ€" Sskilled hands â€" even though those hands were those of unfriendly medical menâ€"the formula ' might not meet with the success it has apparentâ€"|] ly given in so many cases. Perhaps, this thought j has also been in Miss Caisse‘s mind. In any event, | her proposition seems the sensible wayâ€"to make j the most careful tests of actual cases and give Judgment. If Miss Caisse‘s treatment proves to have merit, then even the Medical Council will benefit from the knowledge. If the treatment should prove worthless (though this seems most improbable in view of all the reported cures and benefits ascribed to it) no one would suffer more | than they endured under the present dispensation t Oof affairs. 1 | | } € t 1 t C i On more than one occasion The Advance has been questioned about the practice in these columns occasionally of referring to a woman, in police court for instance, as a lady, while a real lady in another column might be placed among the women. It may be that the practice was no more than a reaction from a story that grew out of an occurrence in Renfrew some years ago. An individual of the feminine gender who was visitâ€" ing the town was in company one night with one Oof Renfrew‘s then famous hockey players at a town restaurant. The couple were quiet and orâ€" derly, but some rowdy youths in the restaurant began to make offensive remarks in loud voice. The young man was much irritated by the reâ€" marksâ€"some of them decidedly objectionableâ€" but he swallowed his wrath with his soup or sandâ€" wich. His companion bore the vulgar abuse for a time, then rose and throwing anything and everyâ€" thing within reach, she fairly screamed a torrent of abuse in lurid language at the youthful cads. Curses of the most vicious sort were in the female tirade. ‘As she concluded for very want of further breath and foul, words, she gasped out:â€""You blanketyâ€"blanks can‘t talk that way before me. I want you to understand I‘m a perfect lady!" though apparently without the blessing of the august Medical Council. There will be little pubâ€" lic patience with the idea that some particular stereotyped form should be followed in the matâ€" terâ€"that first the formula should be disclosed. then cobwebbed procedure on certain stated lines should be observed, and cancer patients wait, or die, while the voluminous report is being prepared. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINE, ONTARIO Whatever the weather may be at points in the North Land, there is a fierce storm in pxzogrcss at the moment at North Bay. A gentleman of that fair cityâ€"a British citizen of Italian parentageâ€" on his return from a visit to the land of his fathers was credited with giving an interview to The North Bayv Nugget. In this interview he was _dozen eggs are collected in this way, the transâ€" djents turn from collectors to egg sellers. The eggs are peddled from door to door, and the story conâ€" cludes with the sad idea that the egg money is spent for drinksâ€"though not likely for eggâ€"nogs. The North Bay Nugget in telling the story seems to work up considerable anger and indignation. In such a case, however, excitement seems misâ€" placed. North Bay woulia appear to do well out of the procedure if the economics of Premier Aberhart of Alberta may be depended. upon. North Bay gives away its eggs, but still has them. while the tramps are in the liquor, or the liqnor is in the tramps. There does not seem to be any fault in the economics of the question from the Aberhart standpoint, and certainly it makes for an equitable distribution of eggs. It is a wonder some North Bay man does not found a political party on this notable example of financial and inâ€" dustrial acumen. It is much superior in practice to the Aberhart doctrine which seems to have takâ€" en the eggs away and left no one with the price. of a drink. gone berserk with rank isms and New Deals. We cannot fully analyze the honorâ€" able gentleman‘s extensive explanation in the space allotted us hens, nor have we any inclination to refute many of the statements he makes. As a malâ€" ter of fact, there is not the slightest doubt that note circulation has fallsn off in remarkable degree in the past seventeen years. In 1921 it was $466,â€" 152,872 and in 1936, $224,782,529, a drop of almost one half. On. May 18, 1938, Bank of Canada notes in circulation totalled $156,858,982 and those of charâ€" tered banks, during the month of March last, were at a high of $113,â€" 238.087, and subsidiary coins on May 18, $259,049. Thus we arrive at an approximare total of all notes and subsidiary coins in circulation of $290,â€" 356,118 around the present time, with probability that it has declined rather than increased in the past two months. These figures show that, compared with 1921, circiulation is down $206,055,8C3 and,. compared with 1936, up $35,314,540. In the period from 1933 to 1937, acâ€" cording to an official compilation, boin deposits and cash reserves have been steadily on the up grade.

It would be wrong to boil the gentleman in oil, at least until after hanging the communists for making the same sort of reâ€" marks about Russia and Canada. There doesn‘t seem to be much to do about it. Canadians should be accustomed by this time to the idea that every country on the face of the earth is better than this one.
