TRADE SETS
RECORD
Mark Set in Year Ending on March
31 Greatest in History of Domin-
ion; Gain is $61,000,000 — Total
is $2,359,412,763 — Imports In-
crease But Are Chiefly of Raw
Materials.
Ottawa, April 30—Trade returns
for the fiscal year ending March 31,
1928, whicth were issued late Satur-
day afternoon by the Dominion bur-
eau of statistics, show that Canada
haq just completed the greatest trade
year in her history. •
Record Is Set.
In the volume of commerce whir's
flowed from and to this Dominion
the year which has just closed tree-
cended any preceding year, and con-
stitutes a record. The Bureau of
Statistics has not yet issued the de-
tailed figures covering the various
items which go to make up the suns
total of Canadian trade, but from
the advance figures now available, it
is clear that the trade of Canada
last year, in dollars, reached the total
of 92,359,412,763.
This is an improvement over the
fiscal year 1927, of $61,000,000 and
of more than 9100,000,000 over the
year 1926. The etatement shows a
reduction in the favorable balance of
trade fibre .923' 680,657 ht 1927 to
9141,499,831 in 1928, but this indi-
cates only that the dollar vaine of
Canadian commerce was r edatad.
In the absence of the detailed fi-
gures it ie nett 'ary to go back to
the quarterly terly etnt ment of December
last, which 'showed the position at
the end of the third quarter of the
year. An examination of these fi-
gures indicates that the fall of the
value of exports 4ere the results al- ,
together of a gradual decline in the
value of farm produce. Wheat and
flour alone account for more than ,
925,000,000. In addition, owing to
the lateness of the harvest season in
'Western Canada, there was a reduc-
ition in the export movement of
wheat although the crop was consid-
erably greater than in the preceding
year. This results in largo stocks
now on hand, and the current fiscal
year will benefit in the trade statis-
tics on this account.
Imports Advance.
Imports showed a sharp advance
of $78,000,000, and this is regarded
as extremely encouraging, inasmuch
as the increase is confine, largely
to raw materials, such as raw rub-
ber, raw sugar, cotton, etc. This
material was all imported by Cana-
dian manufacturers to be used in
the making of inane articles both for
home consumption and for export.
Customs revenues show an increase
from 91558,966,358 to $171.864,320,
which is chiefly ascribable to the im-
provement in the administration of
the Department of National Reven-
ue. The figures show that Hon. W.
D. Euler is coming to the end of his
task of improving the Customs col-
lections. The figures, month by
month, follow:

COMPENSATION FIGURES `DROP
; In April there were 5,521 accid-
eate reported to the Workmen's Com
enation Board, of which 27 -were
fatal. This shows a decrease from
Match when there were 5,711 acci-
dents reported including 26 fatal -
}ties. The total benents- awarded
duringApril acre 9548,096.68, of
whi, h 981,128.60 was for medical
'aid. This is quite a drop from the
March totals as 9764.263.57 was a-
warded including 9108,025.06 for
medical aid.
' Speaking on these figures. R. 13.
Morley, General Manager, Industrial
I• Accident Preention Associations,
calls attention to the records estab-
' lished in the last few years by plants
• both large and small, in Ontario.
The Safety Convention of the Asso-
ciations held in the Royal Connaug9it
Hotel, Hamilton, on May 8 and 9,
will feature stories of good accident
prevention work. Mr. Morley says
the Committee expect to have one
thousand delegates in attendance to
hear addresses by nationally known
speakers at that time.

During 1924 one in five of the
persons who died in the United
States died as the result of one of
the complications of high blood pres-
sure, either heart failure, brain hem-
orrhage 01' uremia.
0.2 persons dying after. 45 years
of age, approximately one in three
dies of one of the terminal compli-
cations of high blood pressure.
Methods of recording the blood pres-
sure accurately have been used only
during the last twenty-five yeyars.
During that time many attempts
have been made to determine the
cause of high blood pressure, but
without success.
There has been much discussion
as to whether chronic inflammations
of the kidneys caused the high blood
pressure or resulted from it. Even
today there are many adherents on
both sides of this question.
However there is a vast amount
of evidence to indicate that high
Iblood pressure is not always aoce-
elated with chronic inflammations of
the kidneys, and the great num-
ber of cases in wlhich the blood pres-
sure is high without any apparent in-
flammation of the kidneys is quill -
dent to cancel the kidney disease es
the universal cause.
4 J e.
It is known that persons who arc
considerably overweight after mid-
dle age also tend to have 'lngh bio;d
pressure. At least a reduction of
weight in such persons is frequently
accompanied by a drop in the blood
pressure. Many other conditions are
likely to be associated with the in-
creased blood pressure. Current
views tend to the belief. that the ex-
citing cause in some substance cir-
culating in the blood and associated
with changes in the tissue structur-
05.
High blood pressure is one of the
things which seems to occur in fam-
ilies, so that Dither lilia structure of
the body, the nature of the chemical
reaction, or some other hereditary
factor may be said to play some part.
The most common method of
treating the condition is by dimin-
ishing body activities including ex-
ercise and mental activities, and low-
ering the diet so that lees stress will
bo placed upon the tissues.
High blood preeeure is one of the
conditions which comes en insidi-
ously, but is found frequently for
tihe first time during the course of a '
Life insurance examination or by a
Periodic physical examination.
'l'he physician who discovers the
preeence of an Mere -need blood pres-
sure is likely to make a complete 1
physical examination of the patient '
to determine any other defect which
may exist in the body, and his first
step will be to correct such defects.
Attention is paid particularly to
infections of the teeth, of the ton-
sils and of various organs in the
body which may be -the source •of
chronic irritation or for the ditisem•
ination of infection to other portions
of the body.
Today the aphorism in the treat-
rnent of high blood pressure is regul-!
ar hours of work, regular hours of
play properly supervised, regular
hours of rest and plenty of rest, and
a low diet.
