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.

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 per cent., ore by 22,092 cars, or 47.3 per cent., pulp and paper by 18,158 cars, or 23.1 per cent., other A Law Every Mother Should KUOW and Observe Breuer Give Your Child An Unknown Remedy -without Asking Your Doctor First According to •f any doctor you ask, * 'only Safeway is ne?l -'to give your child a remedy you don'tknow all about, without asking him first.

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, One Exception Cincinnati Enquirer) Mr. Swear and iv1r. Swanke were business enemies, but chance had placed them_ on the same board of directors. One day after a meeting Mr. Swear was holding forth. • "There are hundreds of ways of making money," he said, provoca- tively. "Yes," put in Mr. Swanke, "but only one honest way." "What way's that?" asked Mr. Swear, sharply. "Ah!" retorted Mr. Swanke. "I thought you wouldn't know it." gaPZIA Guard against Biurets with Cod sliver Oil 1r FIGHT GERMS, I'M VITAMIN A.

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."

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- Catarrhal Deafness May Be Overcome If you have catarrhal deafness or head noises go to your druggist and get 1 oz. of Parmint (double strength) and add to it '%, pint of hot water and a little sugar.

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-. erly and the match was over.
