Notes By The Way

Cit-y 1-! Drone to accuse the Guardian 0f Painting an unduly ruddy picture of conditions here under Lea misrule. God forbid; the whole aim and object

better state of affairs, to put a per- iod to the steady downward tenden- cy in the morals and manners of not a few of our people.

That the Guardian has not over- drawn, or over coloured the picture is evident by reference to the Liber- al organ of Summcrside. No one will accuse the Pioneer of being anti-Lib- eral or pro-Conservative, yet the picture it draws in its Saturdays ls- sue of conditions prevailing under Liberal regime among the rising gen-

is ten times more lurid than anything attempted in the Guardian.

Bootleggers use these small boys to carry their "Teddy's and as crrarxi boys. When this is done the hands of the pro- hibition inspector are tied. Hc crin- nct prosecute the boy. he is outside the pale of the law’. The worst that can l-iappcn to him is a suspended sentence or a term in the homc at; Halifax from which he seems w have 11o trouble in escaping.

The Pioneer ls of opinion that sterner measures are necessary to handle the situation. but concludes 011 this most pessimistic note:

A good old-fashioned spanking administered at regular intervals might have the ‘desired effect but we doubt it.

lf the Guardian had written as luridly of conditions as thc P1011001‘. the city Liberal Gagged organ would have charged it with sending abroad a bad advertisement of the Province. Inslnccri1y' is so ingrained iii the editorial mind of the Liberal Gagged organ that truth in its opinion is at r10 times permissable even for the purpose of diagnosing the state of health of the body politic and securing improvement or complete recovery.

! l

One of the distressing conditions wliich naturally frightens the indivi- dual is a swelling of the feet and legs. This ls called dropsy and ls an accumulation of water in the tissues. It is usually due to a falling action of the heart. V‘

Now there ls one type of swelling of fcct, ankles. and legs that is not due to any failure of the heart; to do its work. l1. 1s at its worst in the ev- enings and is worse after work or ex- ercise that keeps one on the feet a great deal. This swelling sometimes ‘lasts for wccks. disappears for weeks i or evcn months, and then comes back i again.

"During the day the water in the

system tciids to drain down to the ‘fort. and by evening has there col- ilcctcd in sufficient noticed by the patient. There seems ‘to be a lessening of the amount of bicarbonate values in these water lorzizcd individuals." While the cause of this type of droyksyi is not really known it is thought to be due to acidosis, and so baking soda seems to be of l1clp.‘

Now tl1c mint is that a diet oi’ raw vegetables only influences normal in- dlviduala for two or three days, and thus a dict of raw fruits and vege- tablcs all the time is not necessary; in fact may sci. up trouble of an op- positc kind.

So if you have the strolling that is not duc to failing health action you usc baking soda, and if due to failing heart action you use the raw vene- tables. T
