T/UEBDAY. nsceuan u. ms The Christmas Season

The appeal to “Santa Pals" in The Guardian news columns is a. reminder that the Christmas anniversary is near, and that the es- sence of the Christmas spirit is remembrance of others, preferably those who stand most in need of such remembrance. Merely to exchange gifts and greetings with one's friends is to lose contact with that spirit altogether.

Another thing to be remembered at this season is the strenuous nature of the work thrown upon those employed in stores and post- office. Last-minute Christmas shopping means extra work and inconvenience for all concerned. There are now just thirteen days before Christ- mas Day. This is the opportune time to hiake one's purchases_ “Shop early: nrail early” should be the rule, not theexception, as too often it has been in the past.

Mr. King's Responsibility '

Mr. hlscxenzre Kinds characteristic weakness as a leader was shown when, on his return to Ottawa last week, he indorsed Mr. LAromTt-fs repudiation of Dr. Rmbcufs oil sanctions proposal at Geneva, while at the same time declaring that this action “had no refer- cnce to the merits of the proposal which will be considered when the proper time arrives."

Apparently in the hope of stiffening the Prime Minister's backbone on the question, the Toronto Globe, leading Liberal paper, in a front page editorial of last Friday, warns Mr. Kmc of his responsibility and in effect tells him what, as Prime Minister, he should say.

“With the return of Mr. KING to the Capi- tal." says the Globe, “it is to be hoped no time will be lost in reversing the grave position in which Canada was placed with relation to the Empire by the recent statement on the question of oil sanctions against Italy_

"T he attitude therein assumed, that respon- sibility for introducing a resolution was that of the Doininions representative individually and not of the Government represented, must sure- ly impress the Prime Minister and his col- leagues, on second thought, as weak and inde- fensible. Is Dr. RIDDELL at Geneva to speak sometimes for the Government and sometimes for himself, according to the subseqpent reac- tion? How can an Administration expect to re-

"' tain confidence at home or abroad if the acts of its official spokesmen cannot be accepted at once ' as authoritative?

“But this defect—important as it is-i-be- comes minor beside the inference promptly drawn that the senior British Dominion is not standing foursquare with the Mother Country. whose leadership is sought andrcspected by nations around the globe.

“Canada's aim is peaceful. Hence she de- sires _to disclaim responsibility for initiating a resolution for consideration of the Sanctions Committee of Eighteen. Where does the argu- ment lead? Manifestly to the conclusion that other nations not dissociating themselves are intent on war. These include Great Britain. The Canadian statement, in effect, is a war bomb of double proportions, giving encouragement to Premier hlussoum and implying doubt as to Britain's peace policy. ,

“The futility and needlessness of the state- ment were written across the skies yesterday by Sir SAMUEL Hoaae. What he told the British House of Commons and the world was what thc Canadian Government ought to have recog- nized before committing itself to its mischief- making promulgation. It is what Canada could and should have said on her own behalf, if anything-and no sound reason has been given why anything was necessary.”

Scots Invite Reciprocity

A message of kinship and goodwill in the form of a ltandsonte, illustrated volume, en- titled, “Tradc and Commerce Between Scotland and thc Empire,” has been issued by the Scot- tish Chambers of Commerce, Glasgow. The in- troductioit states that “in inviting for the pro- ducts of Scotland an increasing interest and de- mand in Empire markets, shc on her part will gladly welcome an opportunity to reciprocate by fostering a closer knowledge and appreci- ation of the ntanufacttircs and products of British Dominions, colonies and dependencies. Ships from Scottish ports voyaging on their regular routes arc carrying to many parts of the Empire goods of Scottish manufacture. There is ample room along the Empire sea lanes for two-way traffic. Scotland invites reciprocity." The volume describes in detail most of the products for which Scotland has long been famous. -

The new cheese is expected to be on sale early next year. The announcement is in line with a recent state- ment of Hon. ADELARD Goonovr, Minister of Agriculture, that the province's dairy industry would soon be given an impetus through cream cheese manufacturing.

ING TREATMENT 0F ACNE-

PIMPLEB , _--._.

The exact cause of acne (pimples) ts unknown but lt 1a known that treatment by Xrays wlll clear up most cues, Just as Insulin Protects against the symptoms of diabetes. and llver against the symptoms of anaemia (thin blood).

However 1t has been found that a number of these cases “cured" by the Xrays have further attacks months and sometimes years after the application of the Xray treat- ment.

Thus at the annual meetlnl of the American Medical Association some months ago Dr. Jeffrey C. Michael, Houston, Texas. stafed that other treatment besides that of the Xray was necessary 1n many cases of ache.

Research men now report three types of acne, as follows:

1. Acne of the face, especatlly checks and chin ln young girls and women, due to some condition of the sex glands; the symptoms being worse at the monthly period-

2. Acne‘ of the trunk or body. Constipation. dropping of the ab- dominal organs, and chronic lrrlta- tlon of the lower bowel. are usually present. Thlstype ls due to stasis or slowness of the bowel movements. 3. Thyroid type of acne 1n which the pimples are very large and found both on face and body. En- largement and increased activity of the thyroid gland 1n the neck la thought to be the cause.

The treatment now advised is that each case be lnveatlgated from various standpolnts (a)_ possibility of infection of teeth, tonsils, intes- tine. thin blood, the kind of food eaten, _an'd activity or nonactlvlty of the large bowel (constipation); (b) the age of the patient; (c) the mild- ness- or severity of the case: (d) the gland factor. g This means? (l) Any infection should be rem g , proper dlet glv- en. and bowel made active.

2. If patient ls very young lt is not considered wise t.o use the Xray treatment but. ln older patients (l8 to 25) the chances for a pennan- ent cure are about 80 in eveny 100 cases treated.

_3. Patients up to the age of .18 should be treated by Improving the general health and the use of stimulating olntments to the affect- ed skin.

A better plan, he said, would be to ‘establish a research institute that would fin- ancc itself out of income to be obained from its discoveries. 'Government laboratories are at present subject to "partisan" influences, he de- clared, while private research organizations do not have abroad enough scope to deal with the complex problem of lengthening life. Research of , this nature, Dr. Mnusorr asserted, may be urged as the only investment not subject to the law of diminishing return, since it is impossible at present to conceive of an oversupply of ideas and methods for increasing longevity. Moreover, he said, such research will always be needed, in view of the “inexhaustible” nature of the prob- leb involved.‘ iii ill ill

The proclamation of the Ontario bill can- celling the Quebec hydro-power contracts was not altogether unexpected, notwithstanding high hopes were entertained by some that the power companies conference with. the Government would render it unnecessary. There are certain objectionable features to the old contracts which, in the opinion of the Hydro Commission, can only be, removed by out-and-out cancellation, One of these features is a clause which would permit the Quebec Government, at any time it saw fit to tax the export of Quebec power into Ontario, thereby daddling the power consumers .ot Ontario withadditional expense.
