AGAINST A STAIR.
Whilst Hampered by Rheumatism
"Two years ago," writes a woman,
'"'I was suffering with rheumatism in
my 4egs, and when walking upstairs
one clay just kicked my right foot
against the stairs, and broke my leg
just befoul, the knee. 1 was in hos-
pital for four months, and when 1
came out someone advised me to try
Krur-cherr Salts. I did so, and now
I have no trace of rheumatism. I
would not be without my daily dose
of Kruschen, which I take every
r'norning--half a teaspoonful in warm
water."—Mrs. P. B.
The six salts in Kruschen stimu-
late the liver and kidneys to healthy,
regular action: assist them to get rid
of the excess uric acid which is the
cause oi° rheumatic pains. When
poisonous uric acid goes—with its
deposits of needle -pointed crystals—
there's no doubt about those aches

Car Loadings
Off Sharply
For End Of Year — Decrease
Of 11,780 Noted In
Ottawa Figures
Ottawa—Car loadings on Can-
adian railroads for the week ended
December 29 - amounted to 29,334
cars, aI against 293-360 cars for the
last week of 1933 and 41,114 cars for
the previous week, the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics reports. This
decrease of 11,730 cars was consid-
erably greater than the normal and
the index number dropped from
71.29 to 63,98. It is possible that the
Christmas holiday falling on Tues-
day had a greater reducing effect
than in 1933 when the holiday was
on Monday.
Total loadings for the 52 weeks
amounted to 2;319,936 cars in 1934,
2,031,970 cars in 1933, 2,175,625 cars
in 1932 and 2,575,450 cars in 1931.
Total loadings of grain and coke
were lighter than in 1933 by 107,451
cars, or 26.5 per cent., coal was up
by 52,199 cars, or 19.6 per cent.,
merchandise by 36,501 cars, or 6.0

Sees real health
In Arctic Circle
Canadian Club Speaker Paints
Vivid Picture Of Far
North
Toronto.—Smashing the popular 11-
lusion that the North Pole is noth-
ing but a barren waste of ice and
snow and prophesying that Canada's
dream of a rich and powerful Empire
in the tar north is going to come
true, Richard Finnie, F,R.G,S., spoke
at a recent meeting of the Canadian
Club.
The speaker, who was born in the
Klondike, within a stones throw of
the Arctic Circle, painted a vivid
picture of a country, which, he be-
lieves, is going to offer a tremendous
source of wealth and power to the
Dominion. Within a few years, he
prophesied, villages and towns will
spring upright across the entire po-
lar circle and these will form the
nucleus of a new !Empire with end-
less possibilities due to its natural
resources and undiscovered mineral
wealth.
Describing the recent and remark-
able mineral discoveries in the
Great Bear Lake district, Mr Finnie
strongly denied that transportation
still offers an insolvable problem in
this district.
"The popular belief has been that
the only way to get the minerals out
of this district is by airplane," he
said, "and mining experts 'have fig-
ured this cost to be too expensive.
But this sunnier the Hudson's Bay
Company and the Northern Transpor-
tation Company, have been arrang-
ing new and modern methods of
river transportation,"
Paralysis
Its Control Or Prevention Is
Still Believed Far
Away
No means of controlling of preven-
ting infantile paralysis or poliomye-
litis has yet been found, Dr W. Lloyd
Aycock of Harvard reports. He thinks
little of protective vaccination. Even
with an effective vaccine there is
no satisfactory method of determin-
ing which children should be vaccin-
ated.
Most of us are immune to .infati
tile paralysis because we have had
imperceptibly mild doses of it. Dr.
Aycock would like _to select the sus-
ceptible. Tests weird 'have to be
made among the very young. Even
there there -would be uncertainty. Few
children would prove to be immune,
yet many would develop immunity
without contracting a violent case
of the disease.
Dr, Aycock believes that the key
may lie in he:•edity, By studying
family histories it might be possible
to learn more about the nature of
transmitted susceptibility. Ultimate-
ly the relatively small portion of the
population most likely to acquire the
disease could be selected. To this
small portion preventive measures
not feasible for the entire population
might be applied,

Royal Bank of Ca oda
Presents Strong Statement
Morris W. Wilsan, President and' Managing Director, 'Notes
Distinct; IrnpFcrikernent in Bpi ess — Looks /Forward t4
1935 W-tla cniti Bence k i
Sydney G. Dobsoti, General it ger, Reviews Financial
Statements --- Reports $5O,OOO,OCQ Increase in Deposits
At the Sixty -Sixth Annual Meet-
ing of The Royal Bank of Canada,
he,d in Montreal, Morris W. Wil-
son President, and Managing Di-
rector, paid tribute to the, distin-
guished service rendered to the
bank by Sir Herbert Holt, who had
presided at successive Annual
Meetings for over a quarter of a.
century, and whose out tanding
ability and prestige haVe been
portant !'actors in the sound and
consistent growth of the bank dur-
ing his regime.
In commenting on the strong
Statement presented to the meet-
ing, Mr. Wilson said that it'
flected a year of operations under
distinctly improved conditions,
both at home and abroad.
Referring to the recent•reviiiloic.
of the Bank Act and the Act i{t-
corporr.: ing the Bank of Canada,
he stated that at the publie Oar -
bags preceding these enactnients
the bankers were able to, justify
their administration. Ile warned
that the curtailment of et rniug
power resulting from restrletiuns
upon interest rates vnargeable by
banks and the withdrawal of mote -
issuing privileges will inevitably
reduce the ability of banks to
maintain unproductive branohes in
small communities. Banking profits
have never been excessive, and if
an efficient banking system is to
be maintained, there is a point
beyond which enforced economies
to meet falling revenues on one
hand, and increased taxation on
the other, cannot safely he carried.
Referring to taxation, Mr, Wil-
son said:—
"For every dollar paid in divid-
ends last year we paid sixty-seven
cents to the Canadian tax -gatherer,.
This does not take into account
the income tax paid by our share-
holders themselves on dividends
received from the Bank. Surely
these figures require no comment"
In discussing the improved con-
ditions in Canada, Mr. Wilson
pointed out that during the past
year manufacturing and employ-
ment have approximated the lev-
els of 1920; iron and steel produc-
tion, the output of automobiles,
textiles and electrical energy had
increased and the value of exports
notably lumber and minerals, had
advanced substantially. The 'wheat
crop was no larger, but fortunate-
ly, higher prices prevailed, The
value of field crops had increased
over $100,0000,000 and the enhanc-
ed purchasing power of the farm-
ers had stimulated trade through-
out the country. There has been
increased demand for Canadian
mineral products abroad and it is
anticipated that the output of
Canadian gold ..mines will exceed -
$100,000,000, as compared with.
585,000,000 in 1933. The building
boom in Great Britain created un-
precedented demand for Canadian
lumber and a record volume of
shipments has been made during
the past year, He mentioned the
importance of the tourist trade to
Canada, which had amounted to
over $300,000,000 a year and for
several years brought more money
into Canada than our wheat ex-
ports. Newsprint.
"Demand from the United States
for newsprint has been strong,
with the result that the output of
• the Canadian mills in 1934 was
more than twenty-five per cent.
higher than in the previous year.
In fact, it was within five per cent,
of the peak year of 1929. Prices
however, were even lower than in
economies operations have contin-
1933 and, despite the most rigid
ued on an unprofitable basis.
The Railway Situation
"The railway situation continues
to be the most important economic
problem in Canada. Obviously, the
Canadian people cannot stand in-
definitely a weekly drain of over
$1,000,000 for railway deficits, and
the time is rapidly approaching
when more drastic and effective
action will have to be taken 12 we
are to maintain national' credit and
solvency."
Referring to world affairs, the
Presidentsaid that in spite of
tense political situations during
the past year, business has con-
tinued to improve. Production in
Great Britain and several other
countries was greateri,than in 1928.
"It is only in the countries of the
gold bloc where business has be-
come materially worse during the
year. World trade, however, must
be -released from the multitude of
new restrictions which were am-
ong the worst products of the de-
pression, if it is to regain healthy
vigor. Excessive economic national-
ism has proved a dangerous boom-
erang, striking down home indus-
tries as well as `those of foreign
countries. I believe that the pen-
dulum of opinion has begun to
swing toward better economic re-
lationships between countries; and
I.look upon this new attitude as a
happy augury of further favorable
developments during the coming
year.
The Capitalistic Sy4ter
"It is not surprising that new
social experiments should have
been undertaken in many countries
In the i:ope of mitigating the suf-
fering incidental :to' violent booms
'and depressions, Undoubtedly, the
war placed a great' strain upon the
capitalistic system. That system
has been the result of a process of
evolution and ad such has bean
subject to modifications from time
to time to meet changing condi-
tions. Further modifications and
Changes may be a necessity it we
are to be rid of the evils of major
depressions. The difficulties In the
distant past were the outcome of
shortages. At the present moment
the major difficulties have to do
with the distribution of an increas-
ing surplus which tends to exceed
purchasing power, Increasing at-
tention must be given to measures
which will provide for a freer and
more even flow in the exchange of
goods and services. Insofar as the
"New Deal" in the United States,
of economic experiments in other
parts of the world, may provide a
workable answer to. this problem,
rve' should not hesitate to profit by
that solution. Social and economic
experiments which fail, however,
are usually costly and it is prudent
and wise to "make haste slowly"
in changing fundamental principles
of the existing system.
The Outlook
"For more than a year'and one-
half there has been a distinct up-
ward trend iu business activity;
improvement has been general in
practically all branches of agricul-
ture, industry mining and trade.
At the beginning of the new year
conditions, both at home and
abroad, favor a continuation of
this uward trend. It is true that in
Canada there remain a number of
difficult problems for which prac-
tical solutions are necessary, but
I believe that the Canadian people
have the courage and ability to
solve such problems in a rational
manner. It is upon the basis of
past performance that I look for-
ward to 1935 with renewed con-
fidence."
General Manager's Address
In his remarks, Mr, S. G. Dob-
son, newly appointed General Man-
ager, referred to the very satisfac-
tory nature of the Annual Report
and Balance Sheet presented. He
said in part: —"After several years
of declining figures, due to gen-
eral conditions, I am glad to say
the trend has not only been arrest-
ed, but under most headings
has been reversed, in some in-
stances to a substantigi degree."
In reviewing the Financial State-
ment, he said:—"Perhaps the most
gratifying feature of the Balance
Sheet Is the increase of over 00,-
000,000 in total deposits e''L -'the
public. 'The total is. now $61257,$.,-
458. Canadian branches confrib-
uted 541,000,000 of this citaitt'in-
crease of which 511,000,000 is in
the Savings category. It is interest-
ing to note that an increase In de-
posits was shown by every prov-
ince in the Dominion,
"Current loans in Canada show
an increase for the first time since
1929, and are up over $10,000,000.
This Is a significant change, reflec-
ting, as do other items in the
Balance Sheet, a heartening in-
crease in. Canadian business ac-
tivities."
Mr. Dobson pointed out that all
banks in Canada, because of their
easy cash position, are looking for
desirable loaning business, and the
comparatively small increase un-
der this heading reflects a lack of
demand for loans, rather than a
restriction of credit.
"Profits for the year were $4,-
398,217, but are not properly com-
parable with published profits for
the previous year because hereto-
fore they were reported after de-
ducting Provincial taxes. but be-
fore Federal taxes, For the sake
of uniformity, and the fuller in-
formation of shareholders, both
classes of taxes are now disclosed
in the published report. Making al-
lowance for the resulting increase
under this heading, profits are
lower by $268,448, leaving 51,506,-
804 to be carried forward in Profit
& Loss Account, after the usual
deductions for dividends, taxes, etc.
"In keeping with the downward
trend in interest rates and the re-
sulting difficulty in employing
funds profitably, the bank and
most other institutions accepting
deposits reduced their rates on in-
terest-bearing accounts ?� of 1%
from November 1, 1934, This has
had a beneficial effect upon bond
prices, and has helped to reduce
the cost of Dominion and Provin-
cial financing."
Mr. Dobson made special refer-
ence to the satisfactory results
achieved by the branches outside
of Canada and the valuable assist-
ance they have given to exporters
In the development of their trade
ih the countries where the bank is
represented. In conclusion, he
'On the whole, 1934 may be re-
garded as a year of substantial re-
covery for Canada. While we still
have many problems to solve, we
have, I believe, every justification
for looking forward with confid-
ence to a farther improvement in
ebnditions during 1935."

Spells "Olibanum"
And Wins Contest
(New York Times,)
High school teachers, economists,
business executives and an editor
were spelled down in Town Hall by
Sam Pope Brewer, a reporter on
the New York Herald Tribune, in
a spelling bee between college and
non -college teams,
Johan H. Cowie of the Town Hall
Club, which has been staging the
contests,: annually for three years,
gave words from Phyfe's "5,000
Words .:Often Misspelled," and after
they seemed too easy he turned to
a special list culled from Webster's
unabridged dictionary.
There were about twenty con-
testants on each side, about the
same nymber of men as women.
"Apparel" tripped a woman on
the non -college side as the first
victim, Then Miss Mabel Goodrich,
an editor at Macmillan's, went down
on "beleaguer."
"I'd have sworn there were two
'1's' just as in 'vellum; " she said
as she came out of line.
"Chevron" eliminated another
woman. She spelled it "cheveron."
Then Ted Brannigan, an engineer
for the Public Service Company of
New Jersey, blushed and said "pass"
when he got "diocese." He was out.
In the audience women trying to
be helpful were making signs with
their mouths in attempts to save
floundering contestants, but they
gave the wrong letters as often as
they gave the right ones.
Mrs, Doris Webster, who wrote
"I've Got Your Number," a book
on self-analysis, and whose husband
is a grandnephew of Mark Twain,
went out on "aberration"; she spel-
led it with two "b's". A. E. Good-
hue, vice president of the Chicago
Pneumatic Tool Company, put an
"e" in luxuriant and went to the
sidelines,
The New York Times reporter
spelled "dominoes" without an "e"
and was counted out.
Mrs. Maud Nathan, a cousin of
Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo of the
United States Supreme Courts, who
had stayed through a long list of
the more difficult words,, stumbled
on "bivouac," but she recovered in
time to pull through. She went
down eventually though, on "xylo-
phone."
Joseph Alsop, who was reporting
the match for the Herald Tribune,
slipped on "dyeing"; he left out the
"e". "Frolickling" eliminated Victor
Whitlock, a lawyer—he left out the
"k"—and "myrmidon" eliminated
another contestant on the college
side.
By this time only college entries
were in the bee—Mr. Brewer, rep-
resenting Ya. ; Miss Lou Helmuth
of the University of California, who
teaches in a New York high school;
Miss C. R. Trowbridge, a graduate
of Smith College, who teaches at
George • Washington High School
and Wrote, "Constructive Spell-
ing," a school textbook; Miss Mar-
tha Allen, a graduate of Syracuse
University who teachers English at
Julia Richman High School, and 0.
P. Pearson, an economist employed
by the Automobile Manufacturers
Association.
They took some staggering words
without a quiver, but after a while
Miss Trowbridge went out for omit-
ting the second "i" in vinaigrette."
Mr. Pearson misspelled "vivisepul-

Neither Mr. Brewer nor Miss Ilei
muth could spell "planxty," which
is "an Irish melody for the harp."
But that . was explainable, for every
one in the room thought the reader
was calling out "planked steak." On
a vote the word was eliminated from
the contest.
"Opiphagism" was easy for Mr.
Brewer, and. Miss Helmuth took
"opodeldoc" in her stride. Both
missed on "oneirocritic," although
Mr. Brewer got it on his second
try. "Olibanum" was too much for
Miss Helmuth. She spelled it with
an "e." Mr. Brewer spelled it prop-.
