Have headaches, dizzi- ness, stomach upsets. Well, scientists say the cause of all this, in a great many cases, is simply oh acid condition of the stomach. Nothing more. All you have to do is to neutralize the excess stomach acidity. 'When you have one of these acid stomach upsets, take Philips' Milk of Magnesia after meals and before going to bed. That"'s all! Try this. Soon you'll feel like another person! Take either the familiar liquid "PHILLIPS' " or the convenient new Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Tablets. Made in Canada. ALSO IN TABLET' FORM: Philips' Milk. of Magnesia Tab- lets are now on sale at all drug stores everywhere. Each tiny tab- let is the equivalent of at teaspoonful of Gen- uine Phillips' Milk of Magnesia. PHILLIPS ' Alia. And Still the Wheat Moves (The' Montreal Star) . For about three weeks now; sales of Canadian wheat for export have proceeded at a rate which can best be compared with the heavy move- ment that took place during the Great War. Ever since the Argen- tine set a high minimum price on December 13 it has been apparent .that Canada is in possession of the ,+export field. This is of immense na- tional significance. A fortnight ago we pointed to what the movement would mean to .our ports. Available linefreight at ;Saint John. for example, is reported 'to be prety well booked. And let ft be said at once that Montreal 'should not grudge the Maritime ,ports any "break" that • they may get. Incidentally, there are reports ,of the odd couple of "tramps" al- ready chartered to carry grain out al- !ready Montreal when the river opens in :the spring. Nothing to get too ex - 'cited about yet. but generally sug- gesting that things may well get back to a pre -slump basis. This is the time of year when chartering ships and booking space should begin to get under way. After so long a win- ter of depression, however, many will 'cheer a single swallow as if it were. 'the full summr. And Canada is in fine position to move wheat this winter. There are some 20,000,000 bushels of wheat in St. Lawrence and Maritime ports which could well move out during the winter through Saint John. There are about another 48,000,000 bushels in Eastern elevators -and lake ports, from which. the freight rates 'to Saint John are equivalent to those from Buffalo to New York. This wheat, then, is "in export position," though some of it, no doubt, will be required for domestic milling in East- ern Canada. There are, too, from 80,000,000 to 40,000,000 bushels a- vailable for shipment through British Columbia ports, in addition to a fair supply at American Lane ports, some of which we might hope that export will proceed merrily. "When the wheat moves" at fair prices is al- most another terns for Canadian pros- perity.

Royal Bank of Canada 67th .Anneal Meeting Morris W, Wilson, President and Managing Director, Sees Upward Trend of Business Definitely Established. Sydney G. Dobson, General Manager, Reports $50,000,000 Increase in Deposits For Second Year in Succession. Basis for optimism for -the ins - mediate future is to be found in the accomplishments of the past two years, stated Mr. Morris W., Y Wilson, President and Managing Director, in the course of :his ad- dress at. the 67th Annual Meeting of The Royal Bank of Canada. 1 "In every province of Canada", said Mr. Wilson, "the improvement in conditions has reduced unem- ployment and created increased purchasing power. To the farm- ers of the west, there is an almost immeasurable difference between a price of 40c and 90c for wheat and there is every prospect that by the end of the crop year, the carryover will be materially re- duced. In the cities, the burdens and distress due to unemployment have been reduced by an expans- ion in all lines of manufacturing. In fact, in recent months the vol- ume of manufacturing has exceed= ed that in the normal base year 1926." Marked expansion in the auto- mobile and allied industries, the chemical industry, in the demand for textiles and boots, were. also noted by Mr. Wilson, who remark- ed that, the sustained activity in the mining industry during the de„ pression and its expansion in 1934- 1935 have been outstanding ele- ments in Canadian recovery. Mining "The payrolls of that industry", said Mr. Wilson, "provided gener- ous wages at a time when many'of those employed in other indus- tries were out of work. Without the expenditures of the mining in- dustry for supplies, machinery and other items, the depression in Can- ada would have been much more severe. In spite of low prices and the low level of demand for build- ing materials, the total volume of 1 mineral production in 1935 again amounted to more than $300,000,- 000. The volume of gold produce . tion attained a new high record of $115,000,000. I am of the opinion that the great period in Canadian mineral production is in the fu- ture." Unemployed "While employment has shown some improvement during the past year, unemployment is still a ma- jor problem. Relief expenditures constitute a,threatening drain upon the resources of many local com munities. While recognizing fully our social obligations, I fear that these expenditures have not al- ways been made with due regard to the public interest. The pro- mised survey by the Dominion Government is awaited with great interest." Sanctity of Contracts Referring to the repudiation last year by one of the Provinces of important long-term power con- tracts, Mr. Wilson said: "The alleged ground was that of illegal- ity, but it is noteworthy that dis- regarding all ordinary canons of British justice, the aggrieved in- vestors have been denied access to the courts to press their claims. Moral considerations aside — and these are not to be lightly disre- garded — the policy of repudiat- ing contracts that may have be come burdensome because of changed conditions strikes at the very root of our social and econ- omic life, Stated in its lowest terms, moreover, repudiation does not pay. In the past we have made heavy sacrifices to build up and maintain our credit abroad. Unless some means can be found to remove the stain, this incident will be a permaneint ,Blot upon the fair name of our country. - Provincial Finances "The financial position of some of our provinces has been the sub- ject of frequent discussions during recent months. Economic condi- tions in Western Canada, and ab- normally heavy expenditures for relief resulting therefrom, have necessitated large advances from the Dominion Government. It was nevitable that sooner or later the question of control by the Federal Government over the finances of hese provinces should be brought p, particularly in view of sugges- ions put forward that the Federal Government, by Lending its credit, hould assist in a general refund - ng of provincial debts so at to educe the interest charge and hereby assist in balancing the udgets of these provinces. Such ssistance by the Federal Govern - sent could only be justified if sere were set' up effective safe- uards against excessive borrow- gs by provinces in the future, a atter that would seem to involve n amendment to our constitution. ith due safeguards, however, I elieve that some such plan would erit and receive the support of bile opinion in Canada, Foreign Trade "Seven-eig'hts of our total foreign DONE TO A TURN When I was just a callow brat I got my fingers burned and that Was quite enough, But since the day I sagely swore to keep away From conflagrations, I have found My resolution wasn't sound In view of feminine endurance.

Young people of today can build the good life on the same prin- ciples as the old-timers used as their models. Courage is needed—it al- ways ,was. With courage there must go intelligence, ingenuity, and • far sightedness. Seasonal Drop In Employment Situation Last Month More Favorable Than in Past Few Years Employment in Canada„ showed a drop between November 1 and De- cember 1, of 23,566, the Dominion Bureau (Si Statistics reported last week. The total number of employes registered by 9,462 firms fell from 1,013,721 to 955,155. The bureau described the decrease as a "seasonal contraction," and said it was the first general decline since. last April. If added: "The situation continued decidedly more favorable than in any month of 1934, 1933 or 1932," and was better than that of the autumn and Winter of 1931".

"The upward trend in busines would now seem to be definitel established. In fact, I believe w may look forward to the comiu year with a greater optimism tha has been possible at any time 1 the past six years." General Manager's Address Mr. S. G. Dobson, general man ager, referred to the finanei statement, as follows: "The Sixty -Sixth Annual Repo and Balance Sheet reflect continu ante of the upturn of busines which began in 1933, and whi has progressed almost without in terruption since that time. Total under practically all headings ar again higher, indicating the stead and continuous growth of th bank. "A year ago we reported an in crease of $50,000,000 in deposits This year we are able to report a further increase of over ;50,000,- 000, or a total of over $100,000,. 000 in two years — an impressive amount. Deposits in Canada again increased in all provinces, savings deposits being up over $11,000,000. "Because of the continued lack of demand for commercial loans, the main outlets for investment of the additional deposits has been the purchase of Government and Municipal securities. As a conse- quence, assets under these head- ings have increased by $63,000,000 to $196,000,000. Assets Up $42,000,000 "Total assets during the' year in- creased $42,000,000, and are now $800,919,700, the highest point reached since 1931. Quick assets stand at $423,6734881, or 58,72% of total liabilities to the public. `Call Loans in Canada increased $2,898,034, while Call Loans out- side of Canada decreased $10,690,- 196. "Current Loans in Canada have increased by $300,000 and similar advances abroad by $2,573,809. While there has been a consider- able improvement in business con- ditions, so far recovery has not increased appreciably the demand for bank accommodation. "Our senior Executive organiza- tion was recently enlarged by the appointment of three Assistant General Managers, namely, Burn- ham L. Mitchell, James Muir and Harold G. Resler. Mr. Mitchell will continue to supervise Ontario business with headquarters in Tor- onto, and Mr, Muir and Mr. Rosiewill, as heretofore, be attached to Heed Office. All three are highly trained bankers of wide experien- dcewho have spent their business lifetime in the service of the bank, "At the last annual meeting, I ventured the opinion that we had every justification for looking for- ward to improved conditions dur- ing 1935. This expectation has been realized perhaps to an even greater extent than we had hoped for at that time. The outlook is still favorable and, as 1 see it, there is no reason Why we should not enter.1936 with a feeling of optimism," has and exit 50- for ets ted end- ex- ose ev- nd to s- nd at by ng ee- at It ed r- •er he es s, on m to is in b- a n e- t 0 s. e r s. of s y e g n n a1 1"t s ch s e y e Conductor ----How old ate you, my little girl? .Little Boston Girl ---If the corpora- tion doesn't object, I'd prefer to pay ' my full fare and keep my own eta - 19 tistics.

Farm Notes REED CANARY GRASS The Division of Forage Plants has conducted experiments with reed canary grass for many years. These tests have shown that it is a valu- able grass to grow on land which becomes flooded with water for a time each season. It does not thrive where stagnant water lies on the land throughout the summer but it grows well with free water close to the soil surface. Beed canary grass is most useful on land that is too wet for most other crops and especially on peaty and muck soils. Once reed canary grass is established it will last for many years and may be cut for hay, or pastured. It spreads by underground stems and forms a good sod, but, unlike quack grass, it is fairly easy to eradicate. There Is no danger that it will give trouble by spreading to the cultivated upland fields. ( GRAINS FOR THE BREEDING EWE In early whiter, with hay supplying the bulky part of the ration, breed- ing ewes in good condition have very little need for grain. However, with mixedor grass hays, some protein -rich concentrate should be added. One-quarter to one-half a pound per day of a mixture of two parts oats and one part bran gives very good results. Oats are relished by sheep, They strengthen the ewe, whip bran furnishes the protein needed to balance the ration in ad- dition to assisting the digestive organs by its laxative qualities. Other grains, such as barley, corn, wheat and peas, are fattening feeds and should not be used except in small quantities and for ewes that are in very poor condition. They should always be fed in combination with bran and oats to lighten the mixture. TAKING STOCK The farmer who takes stuck now and plans for his farming operat- ions during the coming crop season will be able to order his fertilizers. spraying material, insecticides, etc., in good time. He will also be able to eliminate unprofitable hens, cows, and other animals, and otherwise cut the cost of production, Britain's Jobless Reveals Declin LONDON. — Great Britain's reg- istered unemployed decreased by 50,00.0 in November, it was announc- ed last week.
