'I‘he generous rainfall of Monday night and yesterday morning was of iuestimatlc benefit to the growing Rope throughout the Province, which were becoming a. source of anxiety to our flrrners. The rain came ates. meet opportune time for the Provin- eili Exhibition, as the racing events lnd other important features had not got wider way, Yesterday's rac-

\ iiig _ __ e was postponed on ac- count ‘Lille heavy track, and with fine $313391‘ for the remainder of the weer there will be almost ideal conditions for the fair. The dust, whlch§was a nuisance both on the IOldl d on the race track, has been _ id. If split log drags were used terday on the roads. as com- mon arise would demand, travelling conditgons will now be better than they lilve been all summer.

Elsewhere on this page will bc found interesting account of a prehistgric shell heap on Prince Ed- ward Iglandji written over thirty years lgo, which throws much valuable light ozllsubject that is now en- glgirifliwentlon in New Brunswick and Nova. Scotia. Mr. J. Boekelmari. secretary of the Florida Natural His- tory Museum Society, who ls study- ing prehistoric shell mounds in these provinces, might well find it worth while visiting Prince Edward Island before returning home and inspect- ing the mound describcd by Mr. Few- kes and possibly other places of scientific interest. Mr. Bcelcelman. m an interview in the St. John Telegraph Journal a few days ago, stated that in North Africa shell heaps have been found dating back 25,000 years, and in Denmark 5.- 000 years, and in Great British 5,- ooo, It is difficult to understand how such immense periods of time clri be fixed even approximately, but it may at least be assumed that the mounds were made by prehistoric men who lived chiefly on shell-fish and that l. study of the stones, bones and shell articles found therein afford revealing glimpses of the nature and habits of those early peoples_ Bh-rll mounds, or kitchen middens as they are sometimes called, are therefore of immense scientific interest ivhnre- gver found. 0n this continent their traces are numerous. Those engaged in the work, Mr. Boekclman states. have ascertained that they exist llong the Atlantic coast from Florida

to Greenland. and across to Iceland lnd to Great Britian, as well as in ‘the north of France. The Coast oi’ Chins, which Mr. Boekelman plans visiting next year, is also rich in these mounds, but'no previous steP these mounds, but no previous steps have been taken to investigate them.

of the tax collector. Our revenue in i928 from live foxes and furs amount- ed‘ to about four and three quarter million dollars, of which sum over $100,000 went into the provincial treasury in taxes. The Government, Mr. McLure suggested, should at least spend part of this $100,000 in assisting the industry, arid he urged the establishment of a department in the agricultural ofllces for this purpose, So far, however, there has been no response. _

It is becoming more and more hopeless to expect any response from the present administration when suggestions are made for the wel- fare cf vital industries in this Pro- vince. Tov use a classical illustration of Jack London's. one might as well drop l feather over the Grand Cari- yon in the expectation of hearing the echo of its fall as wait for the recognition of any suggestion that would require initiative and a studied policy onthe part of the Saunders Government. And so the matter of a department for the duelopme ‘ and encouragement of the fox industry. like innumerable other matters that have been brought to the Govern- ment's attention either on the floor of the House or through resolutions by representative bodies, is shelved along with the Liberal Platform of 1921 and other dusty documents which are of value now only as relics of a bombastic campaign. of an unscur- pulous appeal to the credulity of a certain class of sincere but un- sophisticated people and the exploita- tion of such subjects as employment for return soldiers and pensions for the aged poor. ,

THROUGH THE NEEDLES EYE

"The coves and bays of Prince Ed- ward Island, that green and pleas- ant little land cradled in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, are favorite haunts cf smugglers." This is the auspicious opening sentence of an article ori rum seizures in Prince Edward ls- land. ‘in the current issue of the Na- tional Revenue Review, published by the Federal Government. On the same page is a large illustration of the i03 kegs of rum found hidden beneath two inns of straw at Mill- pcque recently. The statement above quoted is in sad contrast to the assurance of the Liberal organ that it would be easier for a camel to crawl through the needles eye than for a smuggler to land his wares in this Province if the Saunders Gov- ernment were elected to power. The "needles eye" seems to have been as elastic as the platform with which the Goveinment hoodwinlred‘ the el- ectors in i927.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Notwithstanding tha urgent appeal from all parts of Canada for remed- ial legislation that would automati- cally provide for and authorize the payment of interest on all refunds of taxes, etc., the Federal Govem- ment did not see fit, during the last session of Parliament, to introduce the required amendments to the ex- isting taxation maasur that would sive this long-sought relief to the lvllhlyflts of Canada.

a premium busineel man died the other day from blood trenching.

The detllla were “from EJ111106- tion of s hm: ueil on his thumb acute blood poisoning developed, and in one week he was deld."

Now why can a simple little’ condi- tion like l hlngnlil cluso blood poisoning and death’!

simply because iNatureb [great protector~the skim-was broken.

The skin looks to be such an. ordin- ary thing, just a sort of covering for the body, like the covering you put over an umbrella which hides the ridges and folds.

Ycuiperhepe think of the skin in the same wsy and yet it is as deli- cately organized ae lny organ/in the body. .

It regulates the body heat, keeps out water, carries lsupplysof water in it for emergencies, and prevents poisons from entering the body.

It has a number of coats, the outer couple of which ecele o! during use leaving other colts beneath to do their work in safety. ' '

However when these outer coats are removed or injured, and the coats be- low with the blood vessels, e ex- posed, then trouble can start.

Fortunately Nature is kind here as elsewhere, and exposure to the air simply helps l cut or injury to heal more rapidly.

But if that little injury or cut, such as a hangnlil, comes in contact with certain organisms which may be on money (this man was l banker). on l knife or scissors with which‘ the habgnlil is removed, perhaps by the teeth, then blood pcisoninmmay re- suit.

The condition of the individual,’ and strength or virulence of the organ- islms enter into the fight. Ofganisims get into the body frequently, but in- fection occure because the individual is worn out physically, »

Fortunately in most clees the re- suit is not fatal. but the lesson is there for us all. *~

Any little cut if onlythe slightest scratch, should be treated with the idea of the dangers that may arise if proper care is not exercised.
