WHY DO THEY COME

Why do tourists go abroad? It would not be too much to assume that they go for rest and enjoyment. _Fi'om the crowded ciiics with their they go to cool watering places, by the seaside, or to the mountains. Climate, good

[and the hospitality and comradeship ‘of the people whom they purpose visiting are important factors in deciding their destination.

Why do tourists from our own in- land Canadian cities and the cities of the United States come to Prince Edward Island? Clearly they come for a change from the heat and congestion at home, to what they know by experience, or have been told by other tourists, is" the most delightful summer climate on the

heard, of ‘our bathing beaches, our duleii country roads. the hospitality of our people and of our deep sea- flshlng, which many ladies, as well lg gentlemen, consider even more enjoyable than stream fishing. Unfortunately some have heard of. or perhaps have experienced, the Oobasional difficulties connected with the crossing at the Capes. They have hard of our roads and may haw‘ had experiences at times when our roads were in a condition which made travelling anything but a pleasure. ‘These are not likely to come again. - If we are to have tourists we must remove whatever difficulties lie in the way. These are few and all can b; removed or at least lcssencd. The crossing ail the Capes can be made ‘inuch more pleasurable and more "expeditious than it i; at present, It {cl not necessary to await the com- “in: of the_ second car-ferry for im- pi-Tovement in this line.

_ In addition to the above it 1s 1'9- corded that Canadian fisheflnfih caught in 1927 _no less than 258

The report goes on to state that in i927 there were 773 canning and curing estab- lishments in Canada, employing al- most seventeen thousand men. Of these. 38 were lobster canneries, 15 {clam canneries, 6 sardine canneries,

ioi wages paid by all canneries and iplonts was almost $5,400,000. ‘ In common with other established industries the tendency isfiowards increased production and reduced man power. Larger vessels and su- perior equipment are responsible for the greater catch as compared with earlier years. In i895, 71,334 fisher- men landed a catch the value of which was $20,199,000; while in 1927, 63,415 men were employed to harvest a catch worth $49,407,000. We may have sonle doubt as to the weight of the catch since the buying power oi the dollar has decreased since 1895; but there can be no doubt of the de- crease in the personnel of our fish- ing fieets, and this i5 to be deplored.

Not much of the Canadian fish goes to waste. In 1027, fish oil, fish skins, fisll glue, fish meal, fish off- al and fcrilllzcr,'brought the var- ious industries concerned ovcr half a million dollars.

TIIE DOG NUISANCE

We note by the proceedings of the City Council. reported in yesterday's Guardian, that, reference was made to the danger of dogs running at large. Some of the Councillor; re- ported that citizens had been bitten. two of them on that day. His Wor- ship and others concurred in the opinion that something should be done in this matter, but no steps were taken to do anything. In the meantime the dangerous dogs are at large, and more than the City Coun- cillors are strongly oi the opinion that something should be done, and done immediately. Only the other day a boy riding a bicycle down Prince Street was chased by a. bull dog which repeatedly nipped at the boy's lcg and almost occasioned a serious accident. There are several such dogs in the City, most oi them positive nuisances by day and night. Something certainly should be done but what. and who is to do it? It is "up to the municipal authorities to give instrucitons to the police and now that they have unanimously agreed that. sofmething should be done, it is not too much to expect that somo definite action will be taken. at once. It was pointed out that rabies are prevalent in some oi ollr sister provinces, and this adds to the menace. It. should not be ne- cessary for citizens to carry fire- arms or clubs to protect themselves against dangerous clogs, but they may be obliged to if the authorities take no action.

at the be_' '_' o! the Session 9g me Legislature Premier Sounders ‘ ‘ ‘ himself upon the advanced state of the Government bills to come before the House-mover be- fore. he claimed, had the measures

pride that goes before u fall. Nearly everyone of Premier Saunders‘ bills has been abandoned or amended al- most out of recognition. Never be- fore, the Premier may now truly, claim, have government bills beenso botched and butchered.

One cannot but feel sorry for Pre- mier Saunders. He never was cut out for statesmanship, and affects the part of a would-be smart poli- tician. With him sufficient for the moment is the strategy thereof, in order that he may "get by" with it. He lacks vision and is more or less devoid of consistency. He ploughs hi; way laboriously and awkwardly hoping "to muddle through." He has not that firm controlloverhis follow- ers inspired by confidence; he lacks magnetism; has little enthusiasm; and at best pursues that most mel- ancholy and unsatisfying course oi public conduct-the policy of nega- tion. Under such unfortunate leader- ship there is little hope for a party, and less for the Province.

Mr. McPhee, the West River repre- sentative along with Hon. Mr. Le- Page, seems never to open his mouth without putting his foot, in it. It was bad enough for a back bencher to adversely criticize the second mem- ber of the Government on the floor of the House. it was s. manifestly more flagrant political offence to “go for him" while he was absent from the House on a bed of sickness in hospital. But there are those who constitutionally lack the finer feel- ings and tho sensibilities of the com- rddeship oi brothers-in-arnls, and little reliance is to be placed upon them on occasions of stress or crisis. Surely if there ever be a time "when a ieller needs a friend" it is when he is down on his back behind the fighting line, dying to get at the foe. It is a testimonial to Mr. McPhees fellow members that they "rowed" him for his breach oi good taste.

Enthusiasm is gradually being en- gendered for thegforvilcoming great Boy Scout Jamboree to be held this summer in England. An endeavour ls beingmade to send four Scouts from here—-two to be provided for by the Chief Scout oi Canada-the Governor General, Lord Willing- don, the others by local effort. It takes $300 to send u. Scout to this great Coming of Age ceremony, and it should not be beyond the means of this Magnificent Province to raise $600 for the purpose.

The Boy Scout is the greatest moral movement) of our day and generation among the rising gener- ation, and has become world-wide in its activity and influence. Whereever high ideals of civilization prevail there will be found a healthy vigor- ous Boy Scout organization. The Province is fortunate in having at the head of the movement here such cflicient and enthusiastic Scouts as Rev. Mr. Spriggs. Mr. Hapenny, and Mr. R. C. Parent. It may be interest- ing to give the Scout Law:

(I) A Scout's honour is to be trusted.

r2) A Scout is loyal to the king, his country, his officers, his parents, his employers, and to those under him.

<3) A Scout's duty is to be useful and to help every other scout.

(4) ‘A Scout is a. friend to all and

(5) A Scout is courteous. (8) A Scout is a. friend to animals. (7) A Scout obeys orders oi his

ter without question. (ii) A Scout smiles and whistles

(9) A Scout is thrifty. (i0) A Scout is clean .0

Yoware hearing much these days about ulcer oi stomach and ulcer of intestine.

You will remember the main symp- tom; pain about two hours after a meal which persists until another meal is taken.

Some of your friends ‘or acquaint- ances tell you thit they are suffering from an ulcer and their pale and worn appearance naturally give you the impression that ulcer must be a very serious thing.

Now ulcer is serious enough but it is not as seriousas cancer or tuber- culosis, and it can be healed in the majority of cases by co-operation be- tween the patient and his doctor.

Dr. A. A. Diethelm emphasizes two points in the medical-treatment of ulcer.

(1) The majority oi ulcers heal quickly and break down just as quick- ly. (2) There is a. close relationship be- tween infection in other parts of the body and ulcer.

A typical ulcer may form in a few (even three) weeks, and heal just as rapidly,

Now although the ulcer heals tem- porarily, the infection that is causing it continues to exist, and so the ulcer forms again. ~

Your doctor will tell you of a num- ber oi coses of ulcer that healed up and never formed again after the rc- movlll oi infected teeth, tonsils, or gall bladder.

Other ulcers are kept active be- cause of the nervous or emotional state of the patient. This nervous condition induces an extra supply of hydrochloric acid in the stomach juice. If the patient can be calmed the cure is more’ quickly affected.

Even after tlle removal of any and every infection there are other fac- tors that help to cause ulcer or to prevent it healing.

These are fatigue, chills, exposure. bulky lndlgestible food, infections, of nose and throat, too much alcohol. tobacco, pePPbr, salt and spices.

Treatment consists of complete rest for two toiour weeks, no solid food for some time, and foods that are easily digested and readily enter into the, blood stream. Milk and eggy are es- pecially valuable.

Monument to Baron

(n. Montreal omm)

A monument to Baron Munchau- sen, the most monumental of all liars, will soon be erected at Baden- werder, on the Weser River, in Han- over, Germany, where the Baron really lived. It will be raised solely u) commemorate the fact that he was the world's greatest liar. The monument-will show the baron sit- ting on the first half of s. horse drinking a; a trough, while the beasts hindquarters are missing. This, of course, is an allusion to the barons story thalt his splendid horse was cut in two, unknown to himself. by the falling portcuilis of a besieged town as the baron rode in. The baron remained ignorant" of the fact. until he reached a iountaintin the midst of the city. The horse kcot on drinking without satisfying his thirst and this led the baron to the discovery that the water was all run- ning away because the hind part of the holsewas missing. “ '

Many persons, perhaps the major- ity, suppose that Munchausen never existed, that his name was invent- ed to father a collection of tall stories. This supposition was not un- natural, as- the stories were first published without the bill-en's con- sent by Erich Raspe. a disreputable

Gottfricid Burgerr and other writers denied that they wrote the stories and bu. que ‘iy were suspected of doing so. The sta- tue. it is expected, will prove to ev- erybody the reality o! Baron Mun- chausen. it may be noted that the world is gradually being filled with peculiar statues. The one in honor of the world's best liar now takes first place, which was previously held by the recently erected statue to the inventor of Camembert cheese, The real baron was Hieronynimus Kill Friedrich von Munchausen, a mem- ber of a. very ancient noble family, born at. Bcdenwerder on May 11, 1720. He served as an ofiicer in the Rus- sian army, n. common occupation for adventurous young Germans at that time, and fought for year in many fierce campaigns against the Turks. He retired from the army in i750 to live on his old family estate at Bo- denwerder. The baron was a jovial character, who loved company, drink- ing, siory-teliing and hunting. He believed that he possessed the best of all huntslncn, named Rosemcyel, for whose benefit he maintained a line pack cf hounds.
