Every visitor whose dear friend or relative Is thcro has much the same Idea. The visitor especially should remember the others. People seldom visit a hospital except when they have a relotlve or friend there. At that time their mind Is too much occupied with the condition of their friend lo receive any other Impressions. To get the proper perspective on hosptlal work you should visit it at other times when the mind Is free to observe what Is being done and how it ls done. You should become acquainted with your hospital. A hos- pin! should be regarded us u public utility lining a definite public need The difference In efficient and Inefficient performance Is the difference between life and death.. Its -lolc [unction at present Is restoration of health. It should be our chief Interest then to see that our hospitals serve tho community in the most efficient way. One of the essentials of tlio ideal hospital Is that their service should be given to the public nt the lowest nossihle cost consistent with the barely escaped nud now stands a.i empty shell.

The average person does not get the proper viewpoint towards a hospital and its functions and place in the community life. If they did there would not be any financial problems to solve and tite hospitals would be equipped with the latest and best appliances for the treatment of accident and disease. It can scarcely he questioned that the public in general do not seek the hospital from choice, they are skeptical regarding the outcome and lack adequate assurance of relief from Its ministrations. It seldom receives the respect It Is entitled to. If all goes well nothing Is Bald, It disaster results one more accusation Is levelled against the hospital. Thc hospital does not advertise sufficiently, lt should be one ot its functions to creote the greatest Interest possible in the minds of the general public. No institution has greater significance to the community than the hospital when once a right understanding Is established between the two. The hospital should seize every opportunity to create a sense of responsibility in the public mind which will lead to construcUve criticism, and to active support of the hospital as an economic asset to the community. To my mind the development of the hospital will gradually merge from the curative to the preventative stage. As Emerson said "The first wealth is health." The hospital will eventually be a community health center where the main function will be, not the curing of disease, but the seat of Information and instruction for the prevention of disease, where preventive and corrective activities will supercede the curative. I would urge upon you the necessity of knowing your hospital and what it Is doing for the community. Your conception of It will undergo a radical change and from a state of antagonism or Indifference, you will grasp the relation ot the institution to your community and the power that It can make for health. When you once get Uie proper prospective of this great work we will be able to count you among tho many workers for belter hospital service. Whether the hospital bo viewed as a technical or humanitarian institution, the hospital system must be recognized as one of the best fruits ot our j Christian civilization, a practical eon- : tribulion of grace and good will to tho | amelioration of suffering and tbe bet- i terment of life.

THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER 4 pmt^J /•* Equali3ed Freight Rates *m Bigger PtojRolls r\N June twentieth—Election Day—the Dominion ^ Government, the Railway Corporations, and the Big Interests of Eastern Canada must be shown by the support that we accord the Honorable John Oliver that we are determined to grow and expand. Every vote for a Liberal Candidate is a vote for John Oliver, which is in eftect an official message to Ottawa and the East that we in British Columbia are solidly behind the Oliver fight for conditions which are fundamental to the prosperity of every man, woman and child in this province. Let us show them by our votes that British Columbia is in earnest; that we are determined to win this fight for equalized freight rates—equal charge for equal service throughout Canada; that we must have free and unrestricted use of the Panama Canal; that by natural heritage and moral right we are entitled to representation on national directorates; in short, that we demand the right of this Province to develop and grow. John Oliver, with his great, homely common-sense and dogged fighting qualities, supported by his Liberal Government, has carried this fight to the interests which are retarding our growth and prosperity. John Oliver and his Government made the first real fight for equalized freight rates; equal consideration in the expenditure of public monies for harbor improvement, with the resulting grain elevators, docks, etc., for British Columbia. John Oliver and his Government are fighting for these fundamentals of prosperity which will ensure for us factory pay-rolls; a market for our agricultural products; the development of our natural resources; all of which will benefit every person in this Province. John Oliver, the head of the Liberal Government in British Columbia, has the ear of the Honorable Mackenzie King, the head of the Liberal Government at Ottawa; and if the people of British Columbia demonstrate by their votes that they are in accord with John Oliver's fight, we in British Columbia will benefit to a far greater extent than we would if Mr. Bowser of General McRae were placed in power. Disregard petty issues, disregard personal sentiment, and for the welfare of this Province and its economic development, and for your own best interests, return John Oliver and his Government to Victoria on June twentieth.

The apathy of trustees nnd likewise parents in including these subjects in the school course in smaller towns is greatly to be wondered at. All over Canada today in the cities and in most t,f the consolidated schools, too, training along these lines is afforded, True the initial cost of establishing same might be a little heavy, but with Cumberland's present financial standing, this could not be said to be burdensome. Aud once the two rooms were fitted for Manual Training and Domestic Selene, with the exception of two extra teachers' salaries, the cost would be hardly worth discussing-certainly In no comparison with the good thai would accrue to the children capable of taking advantage of these courses Some will raise the objection that il children spend half a dny oach week pursuing these subjects will not their academic work suffer?

This «Mas a marked effect on character development also, for It is a recognized'fact that exaei- itude in the small things of life has a marked influence on character building. Tbe good results of Domestic Science are more, directly felt in the home, for the child on being shown In the class room the proper way of performing household tasks and especially the preparation of food is most anxious to attempt this on a large scale In the home. Very often, too, Ihe mother who ls overburdened with household tasks has not the patience nor the time to spend In teaching lhe girl lhc best way of doing housework but Is very much relieved when her girl knowing just how to go about it, offers her aid. Children get the idea from presentation In the class room that cooking and household tusks are not drudgery, but rather accomplishments of which they should be proud.

Political Meetings Largely Attended Newspaper opinions hero are unanimous that Nomination day last week brought out a class of candidates much above the nverage in Intelligence and business training, and it Is conceded that the electorate of British Columbia should have little difficulty In sending men to the Legislature who will be in a position to frame legislation that will give an Immediate Impetus tn general development In the province. Practically every meeting, no inn"- ter by whom called, has been well attended -an evidence of the Interest displayed hy the public In the approaching election. Enthusiasm is not lacking at Provincial and Conservative gatherings, but the outstanding fetaurc of a short campaign so far Is the very apparent endorsa- lioli given the Oliver administration. The Premier admits his faults, "if you have a better mnn for the Job iiend blm along," Is his admonition. "Our government ls far from perfect, but 1 unhesitatingly contend tbat It is lhe best Hie province has ever had and after lhe government again receives the endorsntlon of the electors It will be In n far better position than ever to proceed with a policy of administration that call only result in one thing, the rapid growth of population and Industry."

TIME KILLING Is there such a thing as time to kill? Time—the very thing of which life itself consists—and who, indeed has an hour to slaughter? In the market where ability is bought and sold, today's "dead ones" are but yesterday's crop from the battle of Fool's Hill. Then. In the heyday of their youth, these valiant warriors had time to kill. And today their own drudging minds and bodies wear u bleeding wound for every blow they struck Killing time, Indeed! Reader, every hour on the face of the clock Is but n mile post nearer the days of your dependency.—the days of your old age. Now, In this period of your fullest strength, what are you doing with all the hours between actual labor and rest? Are you, too, killing time? How much of each day do you put in on the bellows end of a cigarette? What portion between sunset and bedtime do you devote in zealous patriotism to the red, white and blue—chips? How many billiard dents do you put into the cushion while hastening the time when you yourself will be up against it for keeps? How much sole-leather ilo you wear out scraping the concrete In rhythm with the garrulous gossip of Spearmint Lizzie? How much gasoline do you consume just going nowhere and coming back? Oh, yes, of course!—one must have amusement and recreation. They are essential. Deliver us from the poor stick that does not know what fun is. Yes, there is a reasonable time for cigars, refreshment, games, visiting, and all that. Hut your system Is not equipped for kissing the nicotine twenty-four hours a day; your pay envelope does not grow catnip enough for you to spend all your evenings feeding the kitty; you arc too much of a fumbler to down the poolroom bunch; you are a complete fizzle as a human tank, and moonshine is the rankest poison; and as a flirt—well, you know. Stop killing time. iG>Gre_51SI________________1___3__Bt_aj-_-M-BI _R__^__Q!J_l_n__l_ffi__l£____' 1A1/ I 12Times Greater than 1916 Province Exports Half-Billion Feet | 1923 521,707,000 FT.

IIIIIillllllllllllllH FIVE — qf ■iiiiiiiiiiii ^ i__eiaiaei_Eiwj_raj_i_raffl_Ew THE SUBSTITUTE MOTHER We recently read of the tragic death of a primary teacher who died as the result of the shock of seeing one of her little pupils run over by an automobile, Just after school had been dismissed. Thc teacher was in no sense to blame, and she could not reproach herself for thc accident, hut consciousness of deep responslbllii, Ib the life habit of the teacher, and her sympathy is always enlisted in behalf of her pupils when there is need of it. The sad death of this teacher will er- rest the attention of thousands who never think of the mothering of pupils whicli .is one of the commonest and linest phases of a school teacher's work. Ill brief, the teacher is the school room substitute for the mother, and In uncounted cases her affections arc drawn out by her pupils and enlisted lu their behalf With almost n mother's intensity of feeling. She works for thc boys and girls she loves, as well an for others who do not so stir her heart, and because of this abounding affection she strives doubly hard to do her best and most for the children who are ln her charge six hours every school day. If the world could realize fully the wealth of devotion and tenderness which Is lavished dally upon little children by these substitute mothers of the school room, thc debt which civilization and humanity owe teachers would be better understood. It Is service which Cannot be paid for In dollars and cents, and it is all the finer aud more valuable because It is a free offering of womanhood to the little ones who have ever been woman's especial care and charge scarred old world have ever faced. ' Check up the early graves filled by j the young people from the homes of the rich and you will be surprised. This is not the wail of a pessimist; 1 It Is rather a note of warning from an j observer who would call upon the Louth of today to meet a condition that will try tlielr strength and wis- I dom.

The word "Liberal" refers to no particular party, •nit denotes the principle of re-modelling and enacting laws to meet promptly the radical changes which from lime to time occur in the economic and social status of organized society as opposed to the ultra-conservative or reactionary principle of remaining stationary and only enacting legislation to meet such radical changes at the last moment when forced to do so by political pressure exerted by organized labor, or for some other like reason. To those who reside in the more remote parts of the district and who are not personally acquainted with our Candidate, we may say that he was born in Victoria, B.C., some 43 years ago, and is the eldest son of His Honor Judge Harrison, now retired, who for some 35 years occupied the Bench for two Counties on the Mainland, and in later years for the County of Nanaimo. Mr. P. P. Harrison nas resided with his i'amily at Cumberland, B.C., and practised law there, for the past 18 years. We are supporting him in his candidature for the following reasons: 1. During the past 18 years we have on many occasions experienced convincing proof of his broad- minded attitude in politics, combined witn a most commendable independence of spirit, and the ability to make a determined fight for anything that he is advocating or supporting. 2. That he has always been strongly opposed to Oriental immigration into Canada. 3. That his entire legal practice is with the general public, such as miners, farmers, fishers, loggers, merchants, etc., and he does not serve any interest or class in. particular, we therefo/e are assured that if he represents us in Parliament he will not be prejudiced in favor of any particular interest or class. 4. That as his entire legal business depends upon his retaining the people's confidence, it is to his interest to give them proper representation in Parliament. 5. That he has not accepted and will not accept funds for his campaign from any Party, Association, or the like, in short, he is financing the whole of his campaign with his personal funds. We doubt if any other Candidate in this Field is doing this. 6. We are entirely in accord with Mr. Harrison's running as an Independent-Liberal and in his view that if he were to do otherwise he would put himself in the position of practically saying that he is satisfied that the Government has accorded our District the consideration to which it is entitled, while as a matter of fact we feel that they have, in many instances, failed to do so. It is our experience, covering a period nf many years, that Political Parties, become nothing better than 'Political Machines' whereby its members who are elected on a straight party ticket, uphold their Party even when they are acting contrary to the interests of the people, thus constituting the infamous 'Rubber-stamp Brigade,' every member of which is completely subservient to the dictates of the Party Bosses, particularly as such members are individually under obligation to their Party, tor funds to carry on their campaign. This condition of affairs can only be remedied or at least ameliorated by our persisting in placing the interests of the District before that of any Party as we are doing in this case. Mr. Harrison will refrain from making wild promises for the purpose of catching votes. He has agreed with us to make a most careful investigation into the complaints of Timber Operator* regai'iKng the present Royalty on logs; And also the question of an embargo on the exportation of logs, and if the facts fully warrant it, he will advocate and support any equitable measure which can be adopted to meet the situation in a way satisfactory to all concerned. And a like enquiry into the matter of the present system of repairing and maintaining public roads, ditches and culverts, in order to ascertain if a reasonable scheme can be worked out whereby tho farmers can obtain a fair share of employment in that connection, particularly during the slack months in farming operations and thus enable them to meet their taxes. Also amendment to the Poll-tax Act, so that the collection of such tax will not be made from any person liable to pay the same, until such person haa resided a reasonable time within the place where it is sought to collect the tax. Also the filling of local Government positions by local people, where competent, instead of the present method quite often adopted of giving the same to persons who reside elsewhere and have no stake or interest in the District. Mr. Harrison is also strongly in favor of the principle of Recall by the people of any Member of Parliament whom they may feel is not giving them proper and adequate representation and will give his support to any legislation of that character, which contains (Continue, on page 9).

UU'hen at Christmas time we turn into a toy «tnre or in a lnrge de- ** partment store toward the toy counter, we are apt to see in our pinds' eye only the toy nnd the child. Some of us see and feel, ourselves. And in spirit go back to 'he days when toys were to us, as they are to children, the embodiment of thc Imagination. The tangible form of our dreams! Sight of the toys, the touch of them, is a magic wand restoring our lost childhood. Anil so we renllv end in buying the thing that we like, the thing that takes our fancy! That is, if we have a choice, and are not forced hy circumstances of limited stock or limited means tc take what we can get. But the toy reaches further bad. than this. Behind each is the toy- maker. The man or woman whose deft fingers shope the thing of art and life out of unpromising and wholly unsuggestivo row material. Thus Canada has men, art-craftsmen, who see in the forest-log latent figures of saints, windmills, wpather-vnnes. miniature canoes, 'trends of Mother Hubbard. Take the part-French, part-Indian, maket of the toy-canoe that so delights the hearts of little boys even when for lock of lake, river or sea in their neighborhood they arc forced to sail it in the bath-tub, or juat carry it to bed clasped in chubby arms, at night, as a sort of galleon whereon to sail away to the land of dreams, is there not in the canoe, a spirit of race? The French trait of "sculpteur," as the wood- carver calls himself down in Quebec, and the elemental knowledge and association of thc canoe thot in the Indian reaches back to prehistoric days in this great stretch of countrj that is Canada. It would be difficult to say which side of him aids the other more, _* it.l8t'rue tl>at m combination, he is something more of an artist than the United States or Mexico to the South, without such combination, can boast. A born toy-maker Someone who gets into the toy that prescient something which is of thc spirit and of life, and which makes it art-products rather than a mere thing of wood. So fine in its lines that it is no mere substitute but a miniature of the larger canoe ... the boat of a race. No less than the Viking ship or the gondnla*!s the boat of a race and a people. Did we see the artistry and human interest, not to speak of the nationality, the true Canadianism in such toys, we would select them and put them more in the hands of children than we do. Even in giving the purely mechanical toy to the child the youngster not having arrived at the age of mechanics proceeds to see the suggestion, the romance, the story, the association. As to wit the "chu-chu" train rather than the mechanism, the parts, which arc far ton small tn interest' Uie mind at that stage. And when you happen upon the canoe-carver at work out-of-doors In one of those many quaint and historic villages along the St. Lawrence between Montreal and Quebec, his own child seated on the logs, one of the rough canoes in his little hand, how envious it makes vou feel for the city child! For thc toymaker and his carving is a plmil of village growth. The big log still, as it were, touches the forest. And all these things, too, are in the tiny canoe over which the mind of childhooil drsams.—Victoria Hayward.

Thirty years is a long time in the Tire business. It is the very beginning of the industry. 18H8 saw the world's first pneumatic tire; 1894 saw the industry taking hold in Canada. Doesn't it stand to reason, in view of the above facts, that we must be better equipped and better qualified to serve tho exacting demands of Tiro users?

J--JV SSgqg •*■ THE CUMBERLA-KD ISLANDER ; KEEP SMILING KEEP SMILING APPLICATION TO C H1ROPRACTI C Science recognizes that vibration is the ruling factor of the Universe. Intellectual vibration is a term we can apply to the working of God's forces along definite and practical lines as immaterial forces acting in and through material objects producing what we see as life. The revolving planets are good examples attesting the truth that motion is a result of intellectual vibration. If true then we must give our source the credit for using it in all things. The harmony we realize existing there is a result of the uninterrupted connection and transmission of forces between source and product. This is the Philosophical basis for Chiro- pratic. Mental Impulses delivered from the brain is but intelligent vibration being directed to certain parts to start in motion and keep normal these parts for which it is meant. We now find it necessary at all times to have a standard quality (100 per cent) of vibration (mental impulses) to be transmitted from the brain to the tissue cells of each and every part of the body to have as a result, 100 per cent of expression and efficiency or complete life or health. Any change from this normal will result in a lack or excess of structure or function making according to degree the various conditions known as disease. The above cut shows four spinal segments. The second from above is slightly displaced, illustrating a diminished nerve because the opening between the second and third vertebrae is partly closed. Owing to the peculiar construction of the spinal column and the adaption of the vertebrae to the many positions and exertion i to which it is put, we find these segments become displaced slightly thereby decreasing the size of the openings where the bone structure surrounds the nerves. As the nerves are very soft in structure we can easily realize that only a slight pressure will cause their capacity for work to be seriously diminished. This is more easily understood when we know that each nerve is composed of thousands of small fibers, each a distinct wire, if you will. The bones being very hard and at this point entirely surrounding the nerve by a movable opening. A Chiropractor with his hands adjusts these slightly displaced segments, or vertebra, with his bare hands to the natural position, thereby relieving the pressure on the nerve, and nature does the rest.

Measure the distance by minutes. Say to yourself, "Such and such a place is so many minutes away," meaning, of course, that if the telephone is used distance does not need to be considered.
