Canal
Traffic on the Welland Ship Cale
a1
reached a record level of 12,•
909,597 tons iu the 1910 naviga-
tion season, an increase of 280,54"
tous over the previous record sea -
eon of 1938, the Dominion Bureau
of Statistics reports.
An `appreciable tonnage increase
also )vas noted over the Sault Ste.
Marie Canal but St. Lawrence Canal
traffic declined slightly, the bur-
eau said.
Substantial increases in the
movement of soft coal, petroleum
and other oils, corn, iron, coke, ore,
sand, gravel and stone were held
responsible for the record-breaking
tonnage on the Welland Canal. The
1940 figure was 1,182,044 tons high-
er than the 1939 tonnage, au in-
crease of .9,5 per cent.
This was accomplished despite
sharp drops in the movement of
wheat, flour, barley, oats, rye and
other grains, the survey disclosed.
Wheat alone was clown 878,693 tons.
Tonnage over the Sault Ste,
Marie Canal totaled 89,853,413 tons,
higher than at any period since
1929 when 92,622,017 tons ware re-
ported. Freight during the 1939 sea-
son was 69,849,304 tons,
Very light movements of grain,
wood pulp and gasoline forced St.
Lawrence canal freight down to
7,479,617 tons compared with 8,-
340,165 'in the 1939 season. This
represented a decrease of 10 per
cent the bureau said.

T he Prevention
Of Pneumonia
The title does not indicate a
new remedy for pneumonia. it
has been adopted by the Toronto
Star to point out that pneumonia
in North' America is confined
chiefly to two clear-cut areas
which are called pneumonia belts.
One of these belts is in the
east, beginning with the Canadi-
an province of Quebec and ex-
tending to Prince Edward Is-
land, Nova Scotia, and New
Brunswick, and along the Atlan-
tic coast. In this area all but
four states have pneumonia
deathrates above the average.
The second pneumonia belt con-
sists of four states in the moun-
tain region, namely, Colorado,
New Mexico and Nevada.
Hits Canadians Annually
Contrary to usual public opin-
ion, neither latitude nor a cold
climate conduce to the onset of
pneumonia. Tlie provinces of
Saskatchewan, Alberta and the
state of South Dakota are safer
from pirelnnonia than are South
Carolina, Georgia and Arizona,
which are warmer climates. It
appears tbat a combination of

cold climates and low average

dence.
ncldence.
About 30,000 Canadians an-
nually become 111 of pneumonia
and until recently one out of
every. four attacked, died of it.
Now, thanks to the discovery of
drugs of the sulphanilamide class
the lives of nine out of ten via -
Mins can be saved. Last year
in hospital practice pneumonia
deaths were reduced by two-
thirds. But there remains the
problem of prevention. The chief
items in the prevention of pneu-
monia are:
1. Clearing up of foci of in-
fection.
2. The use of the protective
foods: ,lneat, milk, eggs, fish,
fresh vegetables and fruit.
3. Plenty of rest and tionaar
4. Immediate bed when a cold
or an attack of flu' comes on.
Canadians Do
Most Phoning
Place More Telephone Calls
Per Person Than Any Other
People in the World
Canadians place an average of
over seven million telephone calls
each day, George L. Long, histor-
ian of the Bell Telephone Company
of Canada declares.
285 CALLS PER. YEAR.
Canadians are the greatest tele-
phone talkers in the world, accord-
ing to Mr. Long. "In other words,"
he said, "we have placed more
telephone calls per person than
the people of any other country.
The record for 1938 shows that if
you are au average Canadian, you
have placed 235 telephone calls.
Compared with this, the average
American placed 223."
"I•t requires 18,000 telephone
people to carry on the telephone
business in Canada," Mr. Long
said, "of which about 9,700 are em-
ployed by the Bell Telephone Com-
pany, the other 8,300 being em-
ployes of over 3,000 other tele•
phone systems in the Dominion."
"Records .show," Mr. Long said,
"that an individual telephone cus-
tomer has had an average of only
one trouble in 14 months during
the past two years. Five years ago,
there was one trouble per tele-
phone in 10 months,"

1. What should a girl do with
her wedding gifts, when an en-
gagement has been broken a few
days before the wedding?
2. When answering a busi-
ness telephone, should one merely
say "Hello"?
3, When ice cream is served
on pie, should the ice cream be
eaten with a spoon?
4. Shoaldn't a saleswoman, to
be efficient, advise a customer
what she should choose?
5. When a young man takes
a girl to the theatre, should she
stand beside him in line while he
gets the tickets?
6. Is it permissible to ask
the porter on a train to call
pne at a certain hour in the
morning?
Answers
1. Mail each gfit back to the
donor, with a brief note saying
that the wedding is not to take .
place; it is not necessary to state
the reason. But don't fail to ex-
press sincere appreciation for the
gift, just as though nothing had
happened. 2. It saves time to
say, "R. J. Allen Company." Or,
if an individual, or professional
inan, "Dr. Brown speaking."
a. No; the fork should be used.
4. Not if the customer seems
capable of making her own de-
cision. When the customer seems
timid, doubtful, or uncertain, a
pleasant suggestion now and then
is all right. 5. No. She should
stand aside and wait for him.
6. Yes; that is the correct thing
to do.

If you are troubled with itching
pilus or rectal soreness do not delay
treatment and run the risk of letting
this condition become chronic. Any
Itching or soreness or painful pass-
age of stool is nature's warning
that proper treatment should be
secured at once.
For this purpose get a package
of Hem -Road from your druggist
and use as directed. This Hem -Road
formula which is used internally
in the form of a small, easy to take
tablet, will quickly relieve the itch-
ing and soreness and aid in heal-
ing the sore tender spots. Hem -Road
is pleasant to use, is highly recom-
mended and it seems the height of
folly for any one to risk a painful.
and chronic pile condition when such
a fine remedy may be had at so
reasonable a cost.
If you try Hem -Road and are not
entirely pleased with the results,
your druggist will gladly return
your money.
