UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF

Sir.—'I‘he problem of ‘unemploy- ment and relief is quite seflol-IS though the cause can be traced far back. It's easy to blame the govern- ment. but the Rovernment cant do ali. It lies with people to do their tart to help themselves The troub.e is that many people ran into debts years ago when times were 809d and todav they can't. make a liv- inz. and consequently the govern- ment has to help. Its excusable for nscpie zhat. never had farms and Izarl to Itve on thelr labor with small wastes. when there was work. and could not. put; by anythtng to provide for the ratnv days, but for people who lived high m_ g times. I don't think its fair that. the people that made good use of their earnlnizs. should be taxed to stipport. those who never trled to do anvthinz for themselves. I think that. those peope should be compelled to work farms althoukn thev could not. make a great deal of monev. they could feed them- selves and that would lighten the burden of relief. There are lots of land on the Island aofnz to waste. zrosinz weeds. that. could be made profitable. Many a vounz man to- dav would work some of those va-

uovernment; and If a1. Idle land was made productive It. would make quite a. difference. and seems the onIv vav the s izovernment. could help. I thfnk that a stood manv w-crthv vomit! men would be able to make stood. Many respectable vouniz men feel It humiliating to to have to take relief when they are wet‘. able to work and would work ff thev had work to do. , I am. Sir. etc, J D

THOSE DOG TAXES

Sir,—I would like to know with many others In the fourth dlstrtct of Prince. 1f Mr. Dennis Intends to complete the collection of this wonderful dog tax.

I judge It Is extremely unfair that a certain class of people can "flood-wink" the Government.

Why doesn't the Minister of Ag- riculture collect thIs tax It It. ls a law of’ the province?

I have seen tn the publtc press of this province, outstanding act- vertIsementsflDog Tax to be Pat " on a certatn date. Then In a few days another notice wamtng the people that If not paid It would be settled 1n the County Court; and then last, but not. least. appears tn the press: “Pay up or all dogs will be destroyed by Mounted Police."

I would like Mr. Dennis to tell us. how many dogs have been de- stroyed by the Mounted Police, as I sttll see Jeff and Fido running at large and I know that they are both good watch-dogs.

The best thlng for Mr. Dennis to do ts to have‘ these dogs round- ed up and taken to Klngs County to watch the Government "cran- berry patch". I'm sure Mr. Wright ,ancl MI‘. Baker would give htm a

helping hand, as probably tt. would I give some good Liberal a job and

make It "Ctvtl Service" to collect the back dog-tax. It might. also l help the Campbell Government to ibalance that precious "Budget." of theirs this year.

I thlnk the Government would e doing a good thflg to use all

Liberals and Conservatives alike l regarding the collection of this tax, as certain friends of the Liberal party are going "Scot-free".

I would like Mr. Dennis to tell the electors of the Fourth Dlstrlct of Prince, what he Intends to do ' rvgardintz the collection of all the dog tax arrears.

A Physlclfln was examining a prominent bulness man tn a large CIIY. As he was about. to examine the chest. he casually remarked, ‘You did not play much when you were a boy."

"No. I became the office boy of this orgpnlzatiozi when I was eleven years Ozd. and now I'm the Gen- eral Manager ivith 1000 emp oy-

" I didn't lave an)‘ time for p. How did you know I never ""i§‘"£§. ..

“ Y e Hire 0f your chest.

Whsn a baby is barn its chest Ls about u deep as It I; wfde, but, 1f ‘vi-e youngster develops propei-ty._ b; play or otherwise -the chest gets much Wfdct‘ in proportion to its depth. until, when he _reaches the adult. stage. the proporLons are about as 7 to 10." p Thus a youth or man with a 7 inch depth of chest should have a l0 inch wridih. ziizd ith an 8 Inch ticptn. a ividtn c! about I1 I-2- inches. The inca urcment. Is taken with calipers ntetvidtst points of chest in line with the nipples.

In examining recruits for over- seas servlce we fcund that those whose chests were not large enough to pass the test were deeper In proportion to their width than they should have been. And. as men- tioned before. when these young men were asked about their boy- hood they admitted they had not played much because their mothers were afraid they would get hurt.

Research workers in tuberculcsts tell us that It ls the ‘deep" chest (deep tn proportion to width) that Ls more IIke'y to develop tuber- culosis because the deep narrow chest Is really the baby or Im- mature chest. i ' Dr. S. A. Welsmnu. Glen Lake Sanatorium. Minnesota. In the Journal of the American Medical Association states:

"In a study made on the ghtipe cf the normal and the tuberculous chest. It, was found that the aver- age normal chest was flat and wide. 11nd the average tuberculous chest was deep and narrow. It: was also shown that the (‘Pep chest was an underdeveloped type of chest re- sembling an infant's chest In shape.”

‘This does not mean that all tho e who are flat cheater wll I escape tuberculosis. or that deep chests ttn proportion to width) wt‘! de- velop tuberculcsts. It does mean however that the narrow ceep (undeveloped) chest ls more IIkeIy to develop tuberculosis.
