CANADA'S SEA TRADE DATES BACK TO 1670 Writer Gives That Year As Opening Of Canada West Indies Contact Now Enhanced By C.N.S. In connection with the steadily growing affinity between Canada and the British West Indies, it is in- teresting to note the statement of H. K. Wicksteed, writing en "Que- bec" in the 'Canadian National Rail- evays, Magazine of January, 1932. The author states that "Talon (Jean Talon) started shipbuilding and fishing in the Lower St. Law- rence, and as early as 1670 three ships left for the West Indies with cargoes of Canadian products, thus initiating foreign commerce." The West Indies were to 'see blood and treachery since that date and were to have the very recent fleet oe Canadian National Steamship liners and freighters which today unite the British colonies with Canada, com- mercially and socially. e• G A ams PNEUMONIA eolith .Service 6artabiati "OF THIO e irttf Aortriation a air.albr GgANT'.,FLEMING lIl.D. .+> ASSOCIATE SECRET. Psesunonia is one of the 'meet ser- -sous and most fatal of the ,acute dis- eases:. In :third :Gauntry, it is respton- Bible for .over. eight thousand' deaths each year, -a higher death -rate than of tuberculbosis. The terve pneumonia means in - elongation of the'•lunge, and it is used to include several formes of the disease which, have one thing in common, 'congestion and solidifica- tiim of :eine part oC the lung. The onset of pneumonia is sudden, a sudden chill,. lashing from fifteen to thirty minutes or mere, then fever, difficulty in breathing, and a dry cough, with pain in the chest white: may be severe. The dioctor should be called without delay, when such symptoms occur.' The disease occurs as the result of the activity of a genre It appears that the germ is wide -spread, and that the ehan;ces of its causing dis- ease are tremendously increased if, for one reason or another, the gener- al fitness of the body has been low- ered. Pneumonia is more prevalent in the cities than in the country. This may he due to the over -crowding and to the lower standards of living which are found in the eity, and these mean greater chance of spread for the gerin elide lowering physical fit- ness. Pneunlonia reaches its height during the winter, •and eo it is assee elated; in our minds, with cold. Cold, in itself, does not cause the disease, but exposure to cold, and other hard- ships favour the occurrence of pneu- monia. Children who bave been weakened by disease not infrequently fall vic- tims to pneumonia. Measles and whooping cough are serious diseases for many reasons, ono of which is the frequency with which they are • followed by 'a fatal .pnenrnfonia. Pneumonia also leaves trael im the -damages which it causes, to the bodies orf those who recover from ma attack. As ,an example, the heart may suffer from the poieon gime off by the germs of pneumonia. The prevention Oef'pneumonia Beee gins with peeping bhe body in god physical condition. The need for purr• pee diet, fresh aid and exercise acva tinues the year round. The body should not be chilled by exposure te+ cold, Damp clothing and wet £Bee should ,be avoided. Over -heated rooms cause excessive perspiration~ the clothing then becomes damp ane the body is chilled when the bioS- vidual goes :out of doors. The regu- Iation of the heat at rooms and the avoidance .of over -clothing are real health measure's. Odds should be avoided, but If they occur, they .shiccld not be neglected. The neglected cold has an 'unfortun- ate way of spreading down into he lungs and causing pneumonia. Pet. sons who are suffering from celels and coughs should be avoided. Tf, notwithstanding precautions, a cold does occur, it is better to spend: one or two days in bed than to run risk of developing pneumonia. The child who has been i11, parte+& ularly with measles or whoeptag Baugh, requires special care not only during the bourse of the disease, butt throughout convalescence as well, at that he may not be exposed to We dangers of pneumonia. Safeguard yourself -against pneu- monia by paying attention to your general health.

If gou ReaHg vranl a SmaIi Business s nothing about it Retailers who don't want a bigger business , should say. nothing about it, for, if they began talking about it in the form of advertisements, they would get new customers whrlse requirements would just distribute them -, would coni- pel their to buy more, deliver more, work more. There's a story told abor%; a retail- er who certanly didn't want a big business. lie was playing checkers with a crony in some place of hiding in the rear portion of his store. A customer entered. The crony said, "There's Mrs. Black." "Hush", said the retailer, "If wedon't make a noise, perhaps, she'll go away!" Some retailers can never: hope to have a big business even if they wanted one—they lack the. ability, the energy, the ambition, the under- standing needed to make a big business. .They. are content with a small business, and would:. be really unhappy if their business was growing rapidly as a consequence of circumstnaces out- side their control. They would feel like a man in a wagon whose horses were running awap with it! • i • Some retailers, however, have un urge to make their business larger, They dredin of the time when they will have one big store, or' a :flock df "chain" stores. They'wwnt a much big- ger income than their. present one. Perhaps they dream of a time when they won't have to work, ' The way to a bigger business is as plain as the nose on one's face; it is customer multiplica- tion, A retailer with an urge toward bigger things should give his main thought and ef- fort to customer multipliea- tion. when they will }save a:ueh leisure to be spent pitching horseshoes, or in bowling or in trav- elling, or with books, or in a county home. • Customer attraction can be accomplished var- iously, but there is one essential means --press advertising. Advertisments go where personal salesmen and even letters can't hope to go, and they have, a profound influence on readers of them—they soften resistance, dissolve apathy, create confidence and; goodwill, and direct the steps of buyers. And they are cheap! And buyers -not sellers—pay for them, and are glad to pay for then! Buyers always go, in largest nunibel's, and of their •own free will, to those stores which spend a lot of money on advertis- ing! unix ix mi Why should any ambitious retailer' hesitate to contract for adver- tising which his customers will pay for gladly?
