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

contletted during the first three
months of the present year, but

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

ly beta accorded itt parliament and

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,

ceived and designed to compete wtth
each other as separate transportation
units, while each of them, in addi-
tion, was in competition with the
Canadian Pacific system,
The consolidation of the National
System had, he said, brought, In con-
sequence Hader one adminiatration,
lines which were originally designed
to be competitive and in no sense
part of a unified system. 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.

tems would bear to One another, Mr.

Subject to Attacks From the Tape-
worm -- How to Befit With Tilte
Parasite,
(Contributed by nntsrio Dope Hulot of
Agriculture, Forams,)
The effect of tapeworm infestation
upon the host neintal Is not marked
unless the parasites are present in
numbers,
The following disease conditions
may result from tapeworm Wrote -
Bon; (1) Partial or complete block-
ing el the lumen of the intestine,
thea may cause toxic or inflammatory
disturbances; (2) Irritation and dis-
ease of the liver due to the passage
of worms through the bile •duets Into
the liver; (3) Irrjtatton '*1 the me-
Coue membrane of the intestine by
the hooks of the armed dpeoles;
(4) Anaemla due to taking of nour-
ishment
ounishment from the injeata In the in-
testine; (6) General debility of the
animal due to the absorption of toile
matterthat has been excreted by the
parasite; (6) The cystic Corm of tape-
worm causes the condition known as
measly' pork and beef. 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.
Horses are rarely infested with
tapeworm, cattle and swine some-
times are, but fortunately not Very
frequently.—L. Stevenson, Dept. of
