Curie, ICC., general Solicitor. 1 The annual shareholders' meeting 1 of the Canadian Pacifio Railway is one of the important financial events of the year as naturally fol- lows from the position held by that company as a great national institu- tion the activities of which touch every branch of Canadian life. On the trat Wednesday in every May the shareholders gather to hear the president tell of the company's past year aid to elect directors to carry on its great work. At these meet- ings are always to be found many of the country's leaders in industry, commerce and finance representing all parts of the Dominion, and the president's report Is looked upon as an epitome of business conditions throughout the whole of Canada. 0f course, all the shareholders cannot attend, they are far too many and they are too widely scattered, Par- ticularly in recent years when the holding of Canadian Pacific stock or bonds has greatly grown in popu- larity among the small, investors of the country. If all were present the gathering would be a great mass meeting and the country towns, vil- lages and even the farming districts of Canada would be represented to a surprising' extent. The meeting was thin year held on May 6 and the chairman and president, Mr. 11. W. Beatty, cfrel at- tention to the company s lessened earnings during 1924 which had re- sulted from a decrease In the move- ment of tnanutactured articles and et entailer crap movement for the year.

W. Beatty on national business conditions and the Company's athdrs. would be reasonably satisfactory. Ile pointed out, hdwever, that nei- ther rail nor ocean traffic bad reach- ed normal proportions and that until they did so the company's expendi- tures for capital, maintenance and general operation must be curtailed so far as may be without impairing the high standard at which the pro- perty has always been maintained. Mr. Beatty referred to the govern- ment proposal to subsidize a flue of freight steamers on the Atlantic un- der the proposed Petersen contract and pointed out that particularly during the past 2 years Atlantic ship- ping operations have been conducted with very unsatisfactory financial returns. He said the companies felt they had been placed on trial and therefore were making the fullest disclosures of the traffic conditions and of the results of the operation of the Canadian Pacific Steamships, Ltd. • Attention was drawn to the need of an aggressive immigration pollcy and the tmaatisfactory results so far this year when 10,792 Lmmigrants came to Canada as against 23,880 during the same period of the pre- vious year. Mr. Beatty pointed out there was nothing fundamentally un- sound in Canada's immigration laws. but there was an apparent lack of concerted and • definite policies in Great Britain and en the continent. There was 'encouragement In the fact that emigration front the British Xsles was becoming more aetive, enquiries from the United States Were becoming more itumeroue and the continental field showed consid- erable promise, • In this address Mr'. Beatty felt Im- pelled by the prominence which the general railway altuatien, has recent- ly beta accorded itt parliament and thtouglf ' the country generally to Make some references thereto, Its nottee<t. and 'weloonied an awalrenieg Of ptlhllte interest dotter contrary to tho dfdinterested apathy heretofore displayed by Canadians towards transportation matters. Mr, Beatty drew attention to the statement often heard that the present railway situa- tion in tbe Dominion was due to the failure in former years of private undertakings, the inference being tbat defects of private ownership and administration resulted is the estab- lishment of public ownersblp. Mr. Beatty pointed out that the principal causes of the present unsatisfactory conditions "was undoubtedly the formation from time to time of poli- cies of extensive new construction and duplication of existing lines, in most, if not all cases by the govern- ment or with government assistance and in anticipation of a much greater development than the country bas enjoyed." Failure was almost inevitable, Mr, Beatty continued, slice the under- takings were so far in advance of the country's existing or immediate future requirements, and It did not to him seem material whetbor the overambitious projects were launch- ed by'the government of tbe day or were. conceived by individuals or companies. In each ease these un- dertakings received the financial supportof the government and the approval of the people of Canada, without wbicb they could not have been completed, hut inneither ease could their break -down be attributed to private ownership. In consequence of the existing con- ditions, there wee, said Mr. Beatty, a general and deep-rooted desire for railway economies, for the eiimiha- tion where possible of intensive com- petition and dupiieate terviees and tbe utilization•wbere feasible of joint instead of separate terminal Nellie this, In this Connection the preen dent 68 the Canadian i?aeifie Raffle Way Melnted otit that the position of bis company was unique. 13'e stated that many of the linea of railway Hoa` forming the National System e John Lcello, Comptroller, 8 Sir Ilerbert S.

On the other hand, the Canadian Pacifica Railway had been conceived and con- structed as one system, had been extended from time to time always as a single system, each part of which was planned to support the other. There bad further been heavy expenditure of public atonies with a view to bringing the national sys- tem lines to a higher state of effi- ciency, in particular by the addition of much modern equipment and pow- er. Singe little new traffic bad been developed in Canada in the last five years and a very moderate amount of new territory opened, the expenditures were aimed to take from the Canadian Pacific Railway as murk as improved service and large expenditures could aeoomplish. As to the larger question of the future relations which the two sys- tems would bear to One another, Mr. Beatty said: "We propose to wont in the greatest possible harmony with the National Rnllways consist ent with the interests of year pro* peaty and of its owhera. • 1 arn. convinced that the vast rn^jt';rty et Canadians, especially the. business Interests of the country, do not de - rare to see the compani' either ab sorbed or mohaced,.. a 1 should add, too, that tie prepohale of any. kind front the company to the Gov- ernment of from the Government to the company bava been made save these to do with the gtteation of re' ducing economic waste through the elimination so far as possible Ot Were not Coliette:1C d a8 part of one (leafiest° servicers-' isaa TAENIASIS IS THE NAME DISEASE liiltt'il AFbi';Ct';1 MANY FA ltlii ANIMA Le.

The foregoing remarks will indicate how serious a peat this seldom, seen .internal para- site is to certain of our domestic animals. Life History of Tapeworm. Most of the taenia undergo a ser- ies of complex metamorphic changes involving larval and sexually mature parasltiem.'in hosts of different spe- cies, When an egg is swallowed by a suitable host the shell Is digested and the embryo liberated. The ens• bryo pierces the Intestinal wall,, and by way of the blood and lymph it carried to the partieular.orgen of tbe' body, specific for its further' develop- ment, where it becois e-lneisted. Tido forms a bladder cyst, the stage thal.. gives the measly pork and measly beef condition well known to meat eaters. The next stage is the formation of the cephalo-cyst,which is done by a budding from the bladder cyst wall, it is the development of the scalex or head. If at this time the bladder cyst is swallowed by a suitable host, the head becomes separated•from the bladder -like cyst and attaches itself. to the mucous membrane of the in- testine where; it develops' into an adult tapeworm. A -sexual pore is present on either one or both mar- gins of each segment. The segment is virtually an egg pouch, and usually contains many eggs, it breaks away and passes from the body of its host on becoming fully developed. The head or scalex with developing seg- ments remaining in the intestine un- til expelled by drug treatment. The tapeworm has no alimentary or in- testinal system, the food that it takes passes directly through the surface of the body. IT, most species there are two drainage canals extending from the head to the posterior seg- ment. These worms are of great interest because of their remarkable process of development. In early stages the Immature worm exists as a bladder worm, living in the body tissue of an intermediate host: In the second stage the mature form is found to the intestine of the definite host. Sheep.—Theca animals are !quite frequently affected with either one of two species. If lambs show sucb symptoms as emaciation, arrested de- velopment, loss of appetite, lassitude and diarrhoea the sheepman should be suspicious of the presence of tape- worms, Poultry.—Few or many birds in a flock may show signs of infection. Early symptoms are a ravenous appe- tite, excessive thirst, and later food may be entirely' refused. There Is a general untbrift}ness,and wasting un- til the birds become weak and ema- ciated. A yellowish -white diarrhoea may be present, the comb and wattles become yellowish or pink. The meet seriously Infested birds will mope around with drooped wings, separat- ing themselves from the flock. The Farm Dog.—Dogs are more frequently interned with tapeworm than any other farm animal. Mature dogs may harbor many tapeworms without receiving apparent injury. Mature dogs may harbor many tape• worms without receiving apparent In- jury. Young dogs are much more susceptible, and it showing the fol- lowing symptoms you should be sus- picious of the presence of tapeworm. The symptosis are those of gastro in- testinal catarrh, hungry at times, and at times refusing food, pendulous abdomen, retarded development, ema- ciation, and restles:meas, Convulsions sometimes occur. An interesting point In connection with the tape- worm that infests the dog is that its intermediate host la the dog flea, It works like this,—the sea eats the fecal matter from the dog containing the tapeworm eggs, These eggs hatch within the flea, forming the bladder -like cysts or second stage in the tapeworm's life history, The dog then eats the flea, and the tapeworm bead or scolex is liberated In tbe dog's intestine, where it becomes at- tached, to start the lite cycle again.
