Fishery Exports On Increase

It is encouraging to note, from the current issue- of the Fisheries News Bulletin, that Cana a,’.s export business in fisheries products is better than it was a year ago. And in 1934, by the way, it ivas better than in 1933. '

In the first eight months of the current year the Dominioifs exports of fish, shellfish, and other products of the fisheries amounted in value almost to $13,871,000 as compared with $13,614,350 in the corresponding period of i934. An increase of $256,650 ought to be cheering to the fishing industry as indicating that things are looking up in the export markets where, in view of the remarkable productive capacity of Caii- ada’s fisheries resources, the greater part of the country’s fisheries output must seek sale.

The United States and the United Kingdom are the Doiiiiiiioii’s two best customers for fisli- erics products and in the January Ist-August 31st period of this year the former country made Canadian purchases totalling $6,248,000, in round figures, and the sales to the United Kingdom amounted to $3,493,300, again round figures. The business with the United States in- creased by nearly $365,200. On the other hand, Canadian shipments to the Old Country were in the January- .\t1gl.l.s‘t period of the year before. In the earlier months of '35 the trade with the British market was greater than at the first of the previous year but latterly there have been some decreases.

Export trade with countries other than the United Kingdom and the Uflitcd States in the 8-month period of this year was slightly better than in i934. or nearly $4,129,600 as against ap-

Tlie value of fisheries exports, by months, in jaiiuaryn-August, 1935, and ]aiiuar_v-.~\ugnst, i934, as shown by a statement made up by tlic Dominion Department of Fisheries from official Canadian trade rcports was as follows:

Fine Art Exhibitions

The Art Society of Prince Edward Island, through its affiliation with the blaritiiiic Art Association, is arranging for a series of five free art exhibitions of the works of noted artists, to he held in the Harris Gallery in the Public Library building in Charlottetown. The cXillbl-

through the courtesy of the National Gallery, Ottawa, the object being, not merely to interest art sudents, but to develop appreciation on the part of the public generally in a subject ivliich has great possibilities from a cultural standpoint, It is hoped also to obtain the services of two lecturers during the season.

The first exhibition of the series will open on Friday afternoon next, and will continue Saturday afternoon and evening and on several days during the following week. The exhibition will consist of replicas, thirty in number, of the works of outstanding ‘leaders of the French school, including CEzANNE, VAN Goucn, Dec/ts, RENOIR, lifourxr and Auousrus JOHN.

The local Art Society, of which Mizs. P. A. CRl-ZELMAN is president, is to be congratulated on its itiitiativc in taking advantage of this op- portunity, and it is hoped that the public response will be satflsfactory. The Society is represented by MR. JAMES TLd-TARRIS on the executive of the Maritime Art Association, which in turn is linked up with kindred organizations throughout Canada. The wealth of material at the National Gallery which can be loaned for the purposes of exhibition through these organizations is prac- tically unlimited, aud the movement is one which should make an increasingly popular appeal.

The Pity Of It

1t is saddeiiing to relTéct that Signor IARCONI. to whom the world owes so inucli for the invention of wireless communication, should now be devoting his genius to the task of destruc- tion. imbued, like his compatriots, with the war spirit, MARCONI is furthering lilussocinfs plans of aggression in Ahyssiuia to the utmost of his powers. and has himsclf applied for a military assignment in Eritrea. A recent despatch states that he is carrying 0n experiments with short- wave radio bcams designed to stall the ignition systems of enemy aeroplanes in flight. He is reported to have been working on theseexperi- ments since I933, with the object of developing "a valuable instrument of warfare." Last May, a secret demonstration ivas given before Musso- unr. On that day “several motorists along the Rome-Ostia speedway said their engines sudden- ly ceased firing. These drivers reported that after much cranking, swearing and sweating, they were suddenly able to start their engines again, much to theiramazemcnt." _ , An invention of the kind described can be of no conceivable use in peace time.

PREVENTING DEFORMJTIES DUE T0 RHEUMATISM

“It is affirmed that, 1n New York City, there are about 8000 indlvl- duals 1n whom chronic arthritis (rheumatism) has reached the point where the joints have become per- manently stltf. The prevention of these deformities 1s most important- The unhealthy soil 1n which rho seed of the disease grows. means that early prevention of rheumatism should begins before the t ‘LIES about the joint are affected, The onset. the symptoms of which are painful soft tissue awelllngs, can be successfully relieved 1f treatment; is begun early." »

I am quoting Dr. Ernes R. Eaton, New Yonk City, 1n cu [ca] Medicine and Surgery.

As rheumatism may- be due to a number of causes the purpose of the treatment 1s along the following 11nes:—

1. Relieving the pain and gettln the confidence of the patient. g

2. Arresting or trying to amp the process and the progress of the .115. ease. -

3- Rcmovinz the cause - bad teeth, bud tonsils, infected gall blad- der, constipation, damp surround- ings, worries or other emotional dls- turbances, overweight, eating too much starch food. v

4. Promoting the general health.

Dr. Eaton reports a visit; to the United States Navy League 30591351 at League Island, Philadelphia, where there were 100 patients with chronic arthritis under treatment. During the first two weeks the ob- lecl- 0f the treatment ls to restore the morale or confidence of the pat- ient. The morale of the patient 1s restored by the following methods:

(a) Relieving the pain Wm, drugs,

(b) Encourazlng the pat-lent to be- lieve 1n his improvement and that. the treatment he 1s receiving will bring about a cure. -

(c)_ The belief of the attendants about. iilm 1n the value o1’ the treat.- nient.
