Suffered Serious Loss
Mr. John Scott, of Belgrave, suf-
fered the loss of two head of cattle
recently and might easily have lost
four more had not the situation,
which was entirely .accidental, been
discovered in time. Six head of cat-
tle on. his farm on the 4;th, concession
of East • Wawanc'sh had gotten into
the ,barn -on the property through
some way op -ening a door, and after
entering the door closed on them.
How long the cattle remained there
without food and water is not- known
exactly, but when the misfortune was'
discovered tw-o of the animals had
died and the four remaining were in
a state of near famishing. The acci-
dent was a misfortunate one for Mr.
Scott.—Blyth Standard.

her longest flight but she chose this
mmod•e' of travel as she leaves To-
ronto at 10 p.m. and arrives in Win-
nipeg the next m,orntng at 6 a.m., 1
where, by going by train it would
take two night and two days to make
the same trip.—Mitchell Advocate.

THE BEDSIDE MANNER '
A lady consulted me about her first
child, and I told her: "I am sorry to
see that your child has rickets. You
should alter her diet and give her
cod laver oil." She was horrified at
my words and berried away.
A fortnight later, looking the pic-
ture of happiness, she called again.
She said she had a confession to
make. When told -that her baby was
rickety, she consulted in her anguish,
a well known specialist for children's
diseases. He put her wind at rest
with the words: "Theme is not the
slightest trace of rickets in your •lit-
tle girl. The child merely suffers
from stoftenling of the bones which
can easily be ,reotified with Scott's
Ililnu1s1o131, Kandiolin tablets and a
slight change of diet."
My' colleague was obviously an ab-
ler nazi than I, -Dot as a diagnosti-
cian, but as a manager of men and
women,—Dr. Erwin Liek, The Doc-
tor's Miissieam.
* * *
Dr. Weir Mitchell had no•sympathy
with ,patients whose ailments wore
Largely imaginary and who were nev-
er happy unless under treatment by a
faahiontable physicialim. There was
the famous story of the woman who
J�
,l<_, 1k,. r?;.. a.1 iJle4,..
refused, tIo get out of bed. Dr. Mit-
chell had ,run the gamut of argument
and persiseelon and fin:ally announc-
ed: "If you are not out of bed do
five minutes — I'll get into it with
you!" He thereupon started to re-
move his goat, his patient still obstin-
ately
bstinately prone; he removed Ms vest;
but when he started to take off his
trous:ese--she was out of bed in a
fury!—Anna Roberson Burr, Wdlr
Mitchell, His Life and Letters.
t *
In Dr. Cushing's "Life of Sir Wil-
liam Ostler" as an account of his vis-
its to a small patient, written by her
mother: "He visited our little Janet
twice every day' from the middle of
October until her death a month lat-
er. Th'er'e would be a little tap Iow
down' on the door which would be
pushed open, and a crouching figure
playing goblin would come in and
ask in a high-pitched voice if the fairy
godmother was at -home and could
be have a bit of tea., Instantly the
sick -room was turned into a fairy-
ktnd, and in fairy language he would
talk about the flowers, the birds, and
the dolls who sat at the foot of the
bed. In the course of this the would
find out all he wanted to know about
his patient.
"One cold November morning when
th-e end was near, he mysteriously
brought out from his inside pocket a
beautiful red rose carefully wrapped
in paper, 'a.nd told how he had watch-
ed the last rose of summer growing
in his garden and how the rdse had
called- out to him that she wished to
go along to sloe his little lassie. That
evening there was a fairy tea party
at th,e table by the bed, Sir William
talking to the. rose, his little lassie
and her mother; -and presently he
slipped out of the room just as mys-
teriously as he had entered it, all
crouched down on his;heels; and the
little girl understood that neither the
fairies nor people could always have
the color of a red rose in their cheeks
or stay as long as they wanted in one
place, but that they would be very
happy in another home and must not
let the people they. left behind feel
badly about it; and she was not un-
happy.—Edith Gittings Reid, "The
Great Physician."
* * *
I know a woman who was very
lonely and very ill; her sufferings
culminated in a peculiarly frightful
form of insomnia. After several
physicians had failed to relieve her,
one discerning doctor suggested that
she telephone him at any -time in the
night, when the tension seemed ran -
bearable, not to ask him to come to
her, but merely to talk to him for a
few minutes.
The friendly voice in the stillness
did more to restore her nervous bal-
ance than ,bottles of medicine. Her
sense of isolation vanished as soon
as she realized that .she could put an
end to it in a moment. Til•ere were
a few times when she called the doc-
tor, but very soon the knowlRdge that
Nile, sour.! call him was its -elf enough-.
Iu a short time she was on the road
to physical and mental health.—Fran-
ces Parkinson Keyes in "Good House-
keeping.
An old lady, whose pride was 1 r1
the dust because sympathizing friends
were always offering advice about
her unspeakable scamp of a son, wan-
dered one afternoon into Dr. Wm.
Osler's constilting room. Despondent-
ly she said: "I can't sleep. 1 am
growing old. No beauty parlor will
help me now."
He anew the stories about her, so,
he answered: "Oh, come now people
of your courage don't give up..I wart
you to take a strong hot toddy every
night for a week at nine o'clock and
at the end of that time, roarer—no.
I'll run in to see you. Tell me, is
Tommy (her- son) still in Paris?"
She shuddered, fearing some slam
at Tommy and advice on bow to steel
her heart against helping him. "Yes,"
she said, "he is there now. He's leav-
ing soon for the south of France"—
and d•eflantly—"he has a weak chest"
Dr. Osler "Handsome young scamp.
What's his address? I am going to
send him a letter of • introduction to
some niers people. They have two de-
lightful daughters'. It's a gay house,
but not so gay that -our boy will get
into trouble."
That was all, but she went out of
the room with a few years thrown off
and ,her pride restored.—Edith Git-
tings Reid,, "The Great Physician."

10. RAILWAYS,.— the fundamental
meed of one aailwarya is an increase
in the 'type of traBile which they can
s mails 'with auaximune. efficiency, The
solution of the railway problem rests
upon 'tine restoration'' of agriculture
and the expansion of the heavy goods
industries. It involves building ,;rhe
weary up to the railways rather
than ptullhng the railways down to
the country. It means facing the
problems witch have brought about
the present difficulty rather tehan, try-
ing to ignore the difficulty while
treating the symptoms° •
Cooperation can be extended. To
do so means the development of the
cooperative spirit. For that purpose
we may need, an altered perspective
no •1na.nte_gement. But Liberalism 'h2Q1ds
firmly .'Ito the view .that such savings
as intelligent anticipation eau reason-
ably expect from unification, will not
compensate tate Canadian people for
the dangers involved in the creation
of a powerful railway monopoly.
11. TA MIFFS: — Tariff reductions'
should be gradtiial., but substantial.
Changes should be made by Parlia-
ment, rather than by exenutiv'e aption
or departmental operation or sections
of the Customs Aot or the Customs
Tariff. Substantial reductions would
bring about the development of the
house market vwhdoh has for Go long
been strangled by bd'g'h 'tariffs. A low-
er tariff would promote efficiency in
industry, 'stimulate C'amaddan manu-
facturing, permit the expansion of
basic industries and lead' to the -ex-
tension of our export and import
trade:
12. UNFIMPLOYMENT. — tJnem-
ploymnent is not the result of funda-
mental weaknesses in our ' eeo'nomac
system; it represents rather a lack of
balance in the price structure. This
is largely the result of governmental
interference with the free play of na-
tural forces, which brings about an
artificial condition favorable, tempor-
arily, to certain sections of the com-
munity.
The spread in price between manu-
factured goods arld ;-farm products is
wide; unemployanent in these condi-
tions is inevitable. Wages and stan-
dards of living in the cities are forc-
ed up by special labor legislation.
Basic producers with low earning car
parity cannot -buy the products pro-
duced in the cities. Increase of un-
employment follows naturally; it can-
not be avoided; it is inherent in our
course of action" Those for whose
benefit the legislation was passed are
the chief sufferers. A few have their
wages raised; totall wage payments
are Lowered, labor, as a whole, earns
less, or works more for what it gets.
To improve these conditions with-
out remedying the- underlying causes
is quite impossible. Liberalism re-
cognizes these, facts and approaches
the problem from that angle. Save
as a temporary measure, expenditures
on public works which shave no ex-
change value, slight commercial util-
ity and high maintenance costs serve
only, in the long run, to render more
difficult the attainment of the pres-
ent Objectives besides intensifying
future difficulties.
The Conservative Platform •
1.. UNEMPLOYMENT.—A compre-
hensive and, actuarially sound system
of unemployment insurance will be
in's'tituted. The recommendations of
the Purvis bmployrn•ent Commission
will be immediately put into opera-
tion. Vocational training centres, will
be established across the Dominion
for the single unemployed not absorb-
ed by (1) the expanding services, (2)
munition industries or (3) th-e Public
Works Program. It is confidently be-
lieved that the above proposals will
entirely do away with the necessity
of the dole.
2, 'RAILWAYS.- -forced co-opera,-
lion,
o-opera;tion for a period of three years, and
if this is found- not bo bring about
the desired ecouuonuileay, the whole
problem will be submitted to a com-
petent nonpolitical board for further
study and recommenda,tions. If the
latter seem tensible, they will be im-
mediately acted upon. Although at
the moment we are not prepared to
offer a solution of the railway prob-
lem, it is believed that it is capable
of being solved by ordinary business
methods and the country saved the
enormous waste of money due to dup-
llication.
3. THE B.N_A.. ACT.—Aa soon as
the report of the Rowell-Sirois Com-
miselon le available, a careful study
of its factual findings will be made
and in so far as its recommendations
are justified they will be put into ef-
fect by making tihe necessary amend-
ments to the S.N.A. Act. We are fin-
aneially emba'rrass'ed by the ,necessity
of maintaining ten governments• with
their attendant duplication of ser-
vices, the great const of which could
not Lave been foreseen when the B.
N.A. Act was (rained over 70 years
ago.
4. INDUSTRY. —The Government
will supervise the manufacture of
Canada's war supplies and enoourage
our indu.str'ies to dev'el'op sufficiently
to manufacture munitions for the Em-
pire.
5. TARIFF.—The Polley of Empire
Preference will be continued. Realiz-
ing the da.magi'ng effect upon indus-
try of constant cbanges tm tariff, ev-
ery effort will be made to ensure its
stabilization.
6. TAXATION.—If Canada's credit
4s to be maintained, it is of para -
'mount importance to balance the
budget. In order to bring this about
revernue will be raised by indtreot tax-
es, and at the same time strict. econ-
omy will be enforced in all services.
7. DEFENCE.—/t thorough reor-
ganization of the counrtry'e defence
and armed forces will be immediate-
ly undertaken;. The 'principles gov-
