roll of reporting employers on No-
vember 1, an increase of 2,580 as
compared with October 1, the Dom-

Prairie Provinces and Quebec the
tendency was upward. Losses were

After Operation
She Grew Fat
And Became Short -Winded
A letter just received from a wo-
man states that she is writing in
thanks for the benefit she has re-
ceived. Her letter goes on:—
"About
n:"About 12 months ago everybody
remarked how fat 1 was getting. I
turned the scale at 196 lbs. 1 was
fed up at getting so fat, and it made
me short-winded. Why they noticed
it more was because 1 was getting
fat slowly since 1 had an operation
for appendix. 1 went hack to the
hospital, and the doctor said most
women get fat after that opera-
tion. 1 had tried everything l knew
of to try and get slim, so I thought
1 would give liruschen Salts a trial.
1 started at first to take half the
dose prescribed, in my first cup of`
tea. .Nine months ago, 1 turned the
scale at 196 lbs., and at the time of
writing 1 go 178 lbs. 1 feel better
than 1 have felt for a long time."—

Nova Scotia Gold
Start Development
Of Tangier Group
Nova Scotia Gold Mines Limited
have started actual development of
!their property at Tangier, Nova Sco-
tia. In a long distance call, Mr. A. L.
Schneider, engineer in charge of op-
erations at Tangier, advises that liv-
ing quarters for the preliminary staff
are completed and that he expects
this week to have between 40 to 60
men at work constructing the dams
for the Hydro Plant. He estimated
that it will take him 60 to 90 days to
do this work and to have the plant in
readiness for operations. All generat-
ing machinery mill equipment, etc, is
already in.
In the meanwhile development of
the Caribou property of the Company
is in the hands of Consolidated Min-

SEASONAL DROPS
Within the manufacturing gl'oup,
the leather, lumber, vegetable food,
pulp and paper and textile divisions
showed contractions, in some cases
of a seasonal character; iron nand
steel factories, however, recorded
heihtened activity.
The 2,143 co-operating employers
enlarged their staffs by 5,338 persons,
bringing them to 208,364 on Novem-
ber 1. Employment was in greater
volume than on the same date in
1933, when general improvement has
also been indicated.
Employment in. Ontario showed a
seasonal decline, which exceeded the
average loss indicated in the years
since 1920. An advance ever the pre-
ceding month had been noted on No-
vember 1 of last year, but the index
then was lower by over 12 points than
on the date under review, when it was
100.6. •
There was improvement on Novem-
ber 1, 1934, in logging, metallic ore
mines, building construction hotels
and retail and wholesale trade, but
manufacturing as a whole, shipping
and railway and highway pulp and
paper, textile, chemical and electrics'
apparatus division;, were brisker,
while vegetable food, lumber, tobacco!
and beverage and electric current'
plants showed losses.
INTERESTING FIGURES
The increase in employment in the
Prairie Provinces on November 1
was especially interesting in that it
was contrary to the usual seasonal
movement indicated in the years
since 1920, Return were compiled
from 1,329 firms having 121,460 em-
ployees, as against 120,228 on Oc-
tober 1.
Coal mining, Logging, manufactur-
ing, railway tanrsportation and
building afforded considerably more
employment; on the other hand, com-
munications, railway construction,
and local transportation and storage
showed contractions. The gain in
the manufacturing group occurred
mainly in animal food and iron and
steel plants. The general though
moderate expansion in the prairies
contrasts favorably with the decline
noted on November 1, 1933, when the
index was slightly lwer.
A further decrease in employment
was recorded in British Columbia;
the staffs of the 925 emipioyers
furnishing returns aggregated 78,-
334, compared with 79,296 in the pre-
ceding month. The reduction oc-
curred almost wholly in manufactur-
ing, there being important seasonal
losses in food factories, together
with a large contraction in iron and
steel, Transportation and railway
construction alka showed a decline.
On the other hand, highway` construc-
tion was decidedly more active. Em-
ployment was brisker than on Novem-
ber 1 of last year, when greater
shrinkage had been noted; the in-
dex then stood at 84.0, as compared
with 94,1 at the latest date.
FURTHER IMPROVEMENT
There was a further improvement
in the situation in the Maritime
Provinces on November 1. Most of
the gain took place in logging, but
manufacturing mainly in vegetable
food, iron and steel and electric cur-
rent works. While mining, railway
transportation and building construc-
tion were also brisker. On the other
hand, lumber mills, shipping, high-
way and railway construction re- 1
leased employees, the losses on high-
way work being most pronounced. Re-
turns were received from 629 em-
ployers, with 74,415 workers on their
payrolls, or 1,229 more than at the
beginning of October.

Merit •! Health
.'Effects of School Methods on
Children's Personalities To
Be Studied.
The personality problems of child-
hood are in too many cases poorly
handled in homes and schools today,
• according to observations by the
National Committee for Mental
Hygiene. As a result, it reports,
weaknesses that might be corrected
are sometimes aggravated until in
later life they develop into important
handicaps or, in extreme cases, into
serious ailments.
This problem is now to be studied
by the committee, especially as it
applies to the selection and train-
ing of teachers. Funds have been
supplied for a preliminary year's
work by the Carnegie Corporation.
The investigation has been projected
in the belief that co-operation be-
tween mental hygiene specialists and
educators might bring to light new
ways of correcting conditions that
are unfavorable to children's mental
health.
It will be carried on under the di-
rection of an educator, with asso-
ciated psychiatrists who have spe-
cialized in child guidance.
PRESENT SCIENTIFIC OPINION
"Noteworthy advances have been
made during recent years in gain-
ing insight into many tpes of men-
tal maladjustment. Valuable con-
tributions in regard to these prob-
lems have been made by child -guid-
ance clinics, laboratory nursery
schools, college mental hygiene
clinics and through psychiatric and
psychological studies. These inves-
tigations are furnishing us with
data concerning the factors that
are important in personality devel-
opment: data that can be used with
advantage in formulating preven-
tive programs.
"We now possess scientific evi-
dence to warrant the conclusion
that many mental disabilities have
their origin in childhood and have!
been aggravated by conditions and
practices in the school and home,
such, for instance, as mishandling
of what seemed to be minor beha-
vior and emotional problems; lack
of opportunities for the develop-
ment of avocational interests and
skills; lack of understanding of
child nature and the requisites for
mental health on the part of guard-
ians; unwholesome attitudes of
teachers and parents, and others.
MISTAKES IN REARING
"It can be said that psychiatric
studies of maladjustment have re-
vealed, in striking fashion, factors
in child rearing that have been con-
ducive to mental ill health. And
from this experience leads are pro-
vided for the prevention of disabili-
ties by devising ways of avoiding
mistakes that have been prevalent in
the past.
"Unquestionably the time has come
when educators and specialists in
mental hygiene should collaborate in
formulating a program for conserv-
ing mental health.
"Fortunately, there is a growing
interest on the part of educators in
mental hygiene work and activities,
A number of recognized leaders have
recently expressed the opinion that
education should combine with . its
cultural aims the objective of con-
serving mental health. These men
are desirous of taking advantage of
psychiatric knowledge and experi-
ence. '
"To facilitate further collaboration
between educators and psychiatrists,
the National Committee for Mental
Hygiene is embarking upon this
project for the integration of mental
hygiene with educational activities.
TEACHER -,TRAINING SURVEY
"Initial attention will be devoted
to the basic problem of teacher
selection and teacher training in
mental hygiene. This point of at-
tack is selected because it is at once
urgent from the point of view of
education and possible of treatment
on the basis of our present know-
ledge of mental hygiene. Concentrat-
ion on normal schools and teacher -
training colleges and schools of
education is indicated because the
character, attitudes and equipment of
the teaching profession are of crucial
importance in child training.
"The program of work will entail
such activities as the following:
A. A canvass of the experience
of educators and specialists in child
guidance concerning the types of
teachers who have exerted a harm-
ful influence upon the mental health
of their pupils,
B. A study of the personality
make-up of teachers who are mak-
ing a contribution to the conserv-
ation of the mental health of child-
ren.
C. All exploration to discover
practicable methods for the person-
ality appraisal of candidates for
teacher -training positions and for ap

Keeping Fit
Some young people take consider-
able credit to themselves for going
to work when they are really not fit
for it, when they are suffering from
bad colds or from indigestion, or
lack of sleep. If their employers
show no especial gratitude, they are
inclined to be resentful. Of course
employers are not keen about work-
ers who have to have a few days in
bed every few weeks, but the work-
er who comes to the office half sick
every now and then does not stir
them to enthusiasm either.
The fact of the matter is that
business men' want healthy employ-
ers. Most colds and practically; all
attacks of indigestion are due to
carelessness. In very few cases is
there any excuse for not getting
enough sleep. If you want to be a
valued worker, focus your attention
on keeping fit. You can do it if
you wish.
