- ~8TRIKING FIGURES ' Ansuiei- tirade against ‘the Ben- nett trade policies a in yes- terday's issue of our disgruntled lo- nll contemporary. This must have been occasioned by the Canadian Press despatch in yesterday's Guard- ian, in which it was stated, on au- thority of reports of the executive council of the Canadian Manufac- turers’ Association, that imports in- to Canada. from Empire countries during July increased by more then B0 per cent compared with July 1933; that exports increased by about l7 per cent, and that Canadian exports to Empire countries were reported to be more than $100,000,000 greater in value than exports for the twelve, months ending July, 1932, the last‘ year before the Imperial Economic Conference agreements were negoti- ated. Largest increases in exports oér}; from the United Kingdom. South Africa, Straits Settlements, Australia. and New Zealand, while increases in imports were from the ‘tinited Kingdom, British West Af- rica, British South Africa, Bermuda, British India. Ceylon, Straits Set- tlements, British Guiana, British west Indies. I-long Kong, New- foundland, Australia and New Zea- land;

cstis consumption has been estab- lished in the hope that the quality will be improved through the pro- ference of the consum for higher quality. m the post there has been much second grade butter sold under fancy irtde names that did not convey anything to the can- suiner as to quality. 1t is expected that the placing of the grade on the carton and wrapper will mesn that the consumer will be encour- aged to ask for “First Grade" but- ter, thereby discouraging the man- ufacture of lower grades. Also, it is expected that the indication of the grade will have a. tendency to create a wider differential of price between the grades and ultimately reflect back in the prices received for the cream by the producer. In dthcr words, it is expected there fl b better prices all round.

there appeared in the Canadian newspapers a despstch from Lon-

due to the too favorable conditions under which the upper classes have lived for many generations. Success-f ful business men, butchers, and

publicans, all of whsm tend to be

overfed, are poor risks, and again

those with artistic temperaments

imake unfavorable patients."

"Fear of death and mistrust of their fellow men makes certain oth- er classes bad patients."

I am quoting Dr. B. Rooke from an article in the Practitioner, as he describes the kind or type of patient

operation very well.

He states further that bad surgic- al risks may be due to mentalin- stability, ovcriiidulgence in tobacco and drugs, and those who sufler with infected teeth, tonsils, or sin-i uses.

A surprising feature of his in- vestigation is that patients with heart disease usually stand the oper- ation weli, and even patients with high blood pressure and actual hard- ening o! the arteries make fair sur- gical risks.

Cases of diabetes can now under- go operation safely because the con- dition can bc controlled with insulin, and the use of dextrolse one hour before operation together with 2 to 4 teaspoonfuls of baking soda.

Gases with ‘kidneys badly damag- cd are poor surgical risks.

As stated before overweight ind:- viduals make poor surgical ririks and it is not unusual when the operation

rid of 10 to 30 pounds before the operation is undertaken.

At the age of 25 operations are better borne than at any other per- rod of life.

After the early fifties, when the degenerative or the “beginning to break down" processes are beginning to show themselves, operations are well borne, This is surprlsln! but true.

With the exception of certain stomach operations women are bet- ter risks than men.

The worst racial risks are the Jews: the Welsh rank next.

I believe the above facts regarding the risks in undergoing surgical operations are of interest to all of us.

don announcing that Dr. C. A. E. Harries. the well lmown. musical composer. MYB-nist and, impresarlo, had arranged W.th Madame Albani, the world-famous Canadian sopra- no, to give a series of concerts in the principal cities of the Domin- ion the following spring. Madame Albanl was to supply her own 0cm- pany, including the plmlst; and the rate of compensation was sta- ted to be one thousand dollars for each concert. Dr. Harriss had to provide the halls. do all the adver- ising and ' meet transportation charges on this side of the Atlan- tic.

When I learned that Ottawa was selected as one of the cities for an Albanl concert in 1889 it occurred to rne that a little money could be made in handling it. I therefore went to my newspaper chum, Mr. P. D. Ross, and asked if he would taloe a "flyer" with me. He prompt- ly said “yes?

The nature of our offer to Har- riss was then discused and we ag- reed upon fifteen hundred dollars as our limit. I wrote to Dr. Har- rlss asking if he would sell the Ot- tawafrights for- the concert, and upon his invitation went to Mon- treal to discuss the matter. I found him a rather stifl’ man to do bus- iness with. I offered fourteen hun- dred dollars for one concert, and then fourteen-fifty, but he would not budge from flfteenhundred, the maximum sum Mr. Ross and I had mutually agreed upon. I returned
