"fn spite of the fact that the pres- ent trade relate! ship Between the two countries is disproportionately favorable to the United States, theme is active discussion of f'a'ther tariff Increases that seem likely to shut out the few competitive items which Cana- dians now sell there.

General Manager's Address ,Discussing the policy of developing the latent resources of our country, Mr. Neill said in part:-- "During the past two or three years many existing industries bave been reorganized to meQt the requirements of expanding business. Mergers have been effected to insure production on the most efficient- basis, and many new industries, have been started.Through a number of different invest- ment bankers who are our. customers We have had the opportunity to assist in such financing, with the result that numerous new and valuable connec- tions have been secured for the bank. f am glad to be able to report that in every such case credits granted have been liquidated to our satisfaction, and despite the number of near issues that have been made, we are carrying no undigested securities." . He pointed out that in this period of prosperity reserves should be built up against less prosperous times.

Immigration From New Angle Archdeacon Cody Advocate's Spending Money on Na- tive -Born Instead of Foreigners Hamilton, Ont.—Advocating expen- diture of money to finance energetic Canadians rather than aiding those who conte to this country Men alien countries, Venerable Archdeacon H. ,F Cody, Toronto, addressed residents of Wentworth County at a large corn- -- ,munity banquet here recently. "Personally, I prefer the Canadiz,n to two or three immigrants and I be- lieve it would be a wiser policy to expend honey to finance an energetic Canadian in Canada than to aid those who come to our Dominion from alien lands," Canon' Cody said. "We want our own stock," he continued, discuss- ing the immigration- quastion. The Rev. Mr. Cody certainly said some- thing worth considering.

"For an account of this truly re- markable" (though generally unre- marked) example of the internation- alism of s':ieltce the London Daily Herald is indebted to Mr. Moses B. Cotsworth, director of the Interna- tional Fixed Calendar League.

"These men work out for' all the nations the right ascension 'andde- clination of the sun, moon, and 84 of the •fixed stars at each of the 2,4 hours in every day. "By August, 1928, these were print- ed and sent to the directors of the national' observatories in the United States, Germany, France, and Spain to enable the astronomers of each of these nations to be.in their quota of the work. "No part is duplicated. The United States astronomers work out the eclipses of the sun and moon for all the nations, and the hourly positions of the planets and their satellites. "In France the hourly positions of the polar stars ate worked out; while the same work for other fixed stars is done in Germany and Spain. "The work in these four countries takes about 18 months. Greenwich combines the results' in the Nautical Almanac for 1938, which will be print- ed and issued by the ertd of 1930.

CfJ009 AILMENTS Can be Quickly Banished With Baby's Own Tablets. The ailments of childhood are many but nine -tenths di thein are due to , one cause and one cause only—a dis- ordered condition of the stomach and bowels. To quickly banish any of the minor ailments of babyhood and child- hood the bowels mutt bet made to work regular and' the st.orraeh must be sweetened. No. other medicine for little ones has had such success as etas Baby's Own Tablets. They banish constipa- tion and indigestion; break vp eoids and simple fevers; correct diarrhoea and colic and promote healthful sleep by regulating the functions of the stomach and bowels. Concerning them Mrs, L. M. Brown, Walton, N.S., writes:—"I cannot speak too highly of Baby's Own Tablets as I have found them excellent for childhood eilmente."

Piot in. illness of Albania.'s King Vienna.—Reports from Tirana that a serious stomach ailment of Bing Achmed Zugo had necessitated the call of two Viennese specialists caused the rumor that the King had been given slow poison by one of his many enemies. These reports were refused by the statement of Professor Guido Holzknecht, one of the doctors con- sulted, who leas .just returned to Cienna. Professor Hols.lrnecbt declar-p ed Achmed Zugas indisposition was not serious, being caused:by overwork,' nicotine and too rnllcb indoor life. Tee' King, who is accustomed to plenty of fresh air and ports, is now obliged to; pass most of his time at a writing table from which he reorganized ills country on modern lines, As the King himself le head of the reform movement, hie illness would present a serionh problem for Albania. This was the reason that specialists were called. Professor 1-lolzknecht state:{ he was suz1)'risefi by the progress he fouud in Albazlia.
