There is one part of the iaddress given in the New Empire theatre on Sunday evening by Mr. J. W. Noseworthy, M.P., that The Advance would like to cheer to the echo, and that is the section in which he expressed the sincere hope that Canada would never again endure the evils of a depression, the curse of direct relief with all its its inadequaâ€" ciés and its injury to the morale of the people. He did not soften the picture of the misery and shame of the days of direct relief. He made it very plain that no excusa could now be offered for any recurrence of those evil days. The situation in the present war effort proved beyond question, Mr. Noseworthy said, that the country had the power, and the weaith to finance fair living for all its people. If money could be raised without stint and in fairly paralyzing amounts for war, then, surely, the speaker argued, there was no barrier to financing reconstruction in the days to follow the war. All of which The Advance most heartily cheers. Mr. Noseworthy was equally right in inâ€" sisting that a little thought be spared, even in these full days of war, to plan and prepare that never again shall the people of prosperous Canada suffer dire poverty in the midst of plenty. And for that, too, more cheers. Lest some wise wag now rise to suggest that The Advance is turning C.C.F., it should be noted that the shoe is on the other footâ€"the C.C.F. is following The Advance. All through the last deâ€" pression The Advance, week after week beseeched the government of the day to find work for the unemployed rather than consider direct relief. It was pointed out in issue after issue that Canada had so much work to doâ€"so much work crying out to be doneâ€"that there were| scarcely workers enough to do it all. There were roads to be built, public buildings badly needed, forest clearing to be done for protection from the danger of forest fires, there were mines to be developed, farms to be made and worked, bridges neededâ€"so many things, indeed, that the difficulty was to know where to begin. It was a favourite line for The Advance to take at that time to point out one of the troubles in regard to public works in Canada in previous years. These necessary public works seemed alwiays to be undertaken only in prosperâ€" ous timesâ€"boom daysâ€"when materials and labour were the most costly. The payment for the public works was then put off to a later time, when days were more difficult, Thus the system for public works in Canada worked out to this:â€"they were undertaken at a time when they cost more, and had to be paid for at a time when the paying was the more difficult. The Advance proposal was that this plan be reversedâ€"that public works be unâ€" dertaken in dull times and paid for when days were better. For all this, The Advance can not recall a single cheer from the C.C.F. The Advance mentioned in detail works in this part of the North that were badly neededâ€"such as roads and public buildings. These would have made all reâ€" lief unnecessary in this part of the North. But still the chters could not be heard from the CCF. One of the buildings that The Advance particularly advocated was an armouries for Timmins. What a benefit that building would have proved in these days of war had it been constructed in deâ€" pression days. If there were any cheers from the C.CF. for that proposal they were of the Bronx variety. *IMMINS, ONTARIO Members Canadian Woekly Newspaper Association: Ontarioâ€" Quebec Newspaper Association TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 2020 Published Every Thursday by GEO,.

There is reason to believe that some of the memâ€" bers of the government in power during the deâ€" pression believed that a wide programme of pubâ€" lic works would have relieved the depression and carried the country through the trying days withâ€" out lowering the morale or the standards of living. The excuse for not following this plan was the enormous cost. One cabinet minister told The Adâ€" vance that the scheme was "Why, it would cost one hundred and fifty million dollars!" he exclaimed, as if that settled the matter. And how much did direct relief cost in dollars? Official estimates vary, but none of them have the temeâ€" rity to go below ten times one hundred and fifty million dollars. The Advance believes that the cost of. carrying on enough necessary public enterâ€" prises to weather the depression storm would have been much less than most people feared. There is every reason to believe that would have cost less than direct relief. Whether it cost less or not, the people would have had something for their money. All that they enjoyed through direct relief was lessened morale, decreased health, reduced living standards, misery and hopelessness. It is only fair to say that the government in ‘and a favourilte rOOST I0FP 100. power during the depression went as far as it felt' In a recent issue The Ottawa J ournal used up a the people were ready to approve.

One of these rumours was in regard to the probable rationing of certain commoditiesâ€" â€"commndities that the government alleges now are in no danger of being rationed. One governâ€" met speaker has been quoted as expressing puzzleâ€" ment as to how these rumours originated. No one knows better than the average community newsâ€" paper how numerous are these objectional and imâ€" proper rumours. There are several causes for these rumours, the chief, perhaps, being lack of complete confidence in the government. The pubâ€" lic can hardly be blamed for guessing as to what may develop from partisan politics, Another cause is the fact that it is so difficult to do business these days that almost any suggestion of worse things to come may be construed wrongly by a harassed public. Perhaps, the habit of making announcement over the radio, also bears its share of the cause for these rumours. The newspapers in general have been doing a notable service in honestly endeavouring ta stop the growth of these evil rumours and reports. Too many of the ruâ€" mours are reported with same phrase approximaâ€" ting,"I just heard over the radio." Often the quesâ€" tion has been asked in a business or professional place, "How do you manage to work with that radio blatting away?" The answer almost invariably is: "Oh, I never listen to it!" But these same good people are forever hearing this or that fragment "over the radio." Again the government itself many times must bear the blame for some of the rumours. The origin, of more than one such comâ€" mon report may be tracedito expressions made by government servants seeking the easy way in doing their work. "If the people do not do so and S0o, then so and so will happen," is an expression thnat is almost sure to give birth to a lusty report. Anâ€" other careless one from office holders is to the effect, that, "this is nothing to whiait you will have to ‘bear." - | Does the government wish to know how to stop the greater part of these rumours and reports? It can not be done by quoting direct promises made by the government. The newspapers have tried that. "The government definitely states‘" is counâ€" tered by a cynical suggestion that you write that on your plebiscite ballot. In this regard The Adâ€" vance recently was met with a variation. In denying the probability of one of these rumours, one merchant said:â€""The government promised that every enlisted man would get his old job back. I promised that to my men who joined up. Then along comes another government man to tell us all that we won‘t have any business in our line for anybody to come back for employment." The way to stop the rumours and reports is to give the public in general confidaence in the govâ€" ernment. That is easy to assure. All that. is needed is a National government. A National Government selected not for partisan adroitness, but for outstanding ability and real devotion to the cause of the war, would right most of the diffiâ€" culties of the people and the government alike. The truth is that the great majority of the people are ready for any effort, any sacrifice to help win the war. In this regard the people have been far ahead of the government. But as time goes on, it naturally becomes more difficult for the people to force the government along. In times of national crisis when party issues are overshadowed by the menace to the life of the nation, it is worse than folly to attempt to carry on a partisan adminisâ€" tration that does not even represent even on complete party. National governmentâ€"a@ governâ€" ment with thought only for the country and the cause, and not for any petty part of a part of a partyâ€"is the one thing needful.

Couchiching! Couchiching! I try always to point out that most cases of overweight are due to overeatâ€" ing or underexercising or both but when I see so many cases due to lack of a glaund extract in their bodies I realize that cutting down on food and hours of exercise will not reduce the patients of this type to normal or nearly normal weight. l When a "billowy" type of overweight pass>s by with good nature written all over the face nothing apparently wrong with the world, there is a probability that besides being a good eater, he or she is also a good sleeper and that the thyriod gland in the neck is not as acâ€" tive as it should be. An examination would likely reveal that the body proâ€" ing a little slower than the normal rate, cesses, physical and mental, were workâ€" the skin dry with sometimes a waxy apâ€" pearance. The use of the official thyâ€" roid extract under the supervision of a physician which precaution prevents the thyroid having any harmful: effects, gives excellent. results in the treatment of this type of overweight. ‘This means that the overweight is given metabolâ€" ism tests from time to time. Should any of the signs of an overactive thyâ€" roid gland â€" very rapid heart rate, sweating, trembling, irritability the dose of thyroid extract can be reâ€" duced. Another type: of overweight easily recognized is that due to lack of pituitâ€" ary extract. This type, mostly women, has the excess fat over the shoulders, chest, upper arms, abdomen, hips and thighs. The forearms, hands, lower legs and feet anbpear small and "dainty‘" because there is so much fat elsewhere on the body. The "pituitary‘"‘ type of overweight is usually bright mentally but may be underdeveloped or "immaâ€" ture"‘ in other organs, glands or body processes. In, these cases, pituitary exâ€" tract, usually by hypodermic injections, givesâ€"good results in most cases. | GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER| ## # e d on + ## *# * ## # 4 ##4 #4 ® + ¢ 44 # #© #4 # 4 *4 + *4 # °®% #4 @ # *+ @ 4 *4 ## *# # # ## *4# # # "®% *4 ** @ ‘0 e«3 # # #4 # 4 *4 t# *# 4# ## 4 #@ *« * L *# «# ## # .0 That the pituitary gland is not enâ€" By James W .

In the diet treatment of the pituitary type of overweight, cutting down â€" on starch foods â€" potatoes, bread, sugar â€"â€" is more important than cutting down on the other two weight producers â€" fats and liquids. This is because on of the important use of the pituitary gland is ta nronerlv handle starch foods in is to properly handle the body. Another type of overweight is that due to disturbance (usually a tumor) of the adrenal glands situated above each kidney. In addition to the excess fat about the hips, abdomen, and thighs, there is high blood pressure, tendency of males to resemble females, and feâ€" males to resemble males, with purplish straitions or stripes on the walls of the abdomen. With the removal of the tuâ€" mor the individual becomes normal in appearance. Another cause of overweight is a disâ€" turbance of the pancreas, the juice of which controls the amount of sugar the blood can carry and use. In this type the individual is normal in appearance but "pleasantly plum»p»" and is always hungry because, despite eating plenty of food, the amount of sugar in the blood is below normal. When we think of how these glands cf the body can cause overweight, it can be seen what a problem confronts the endocrinologist (gland specialist) when ne recognizes that an overweight patâ€" ient has signs and symptoms that show definitely that mors than one gland is to blame for the overweight. *«* abeatuate ate abe abe abeate abeale days a year each for the use of cars by the members of the cabinet.
