Sask., Feb. 1. — Premier King opened his campaign in Prince Albert tonight with a speech in which he charged that monied Interests in Ontario were endeavoring to get control of the government of the country. He had referred to. Mr. Melghen's tar'ff policy. "Back of this protectionist thought," warmly exclaimed the prime minister, "lies the desire of a few men of great wealth te get- political control In this country. That Is the real Issue in Canad■■.. whether a few men who are already very wealthy, who have certain established privileges, who reside for tht most part in eastern Canada, uid In Montreal more than anywhere else whether these few men are going to succeed in getting political control In this country bo that they can make the policies of Canada over to their monied Interests and their selfish purse. raced Conspiracy "Thli country was face to face In the last election," so the prime minister proceeded, "with an great a conspiracy as any country ever faced.

Whatever tho Montreal monied interests were to tell them to do, they were to tell Mr. Melghen to do.

There were only a few ratonaude candidates in the house, but they had rot been there five minutes before they were supporting Mr. Mefghep.

What we were fighting was not the policy of the Conservative party. We were fighting money, millions of dollars put In by financial interests to get control in this country. I say that so long as we have men who aro selfishly seeking their own Interest, who npp.nred to spend money In that way, so long the Interests of the people will never be safe."

It was brought to a conclusion by a formal notification from tho war department that his reslgna- tion from tin- army hid been accepted by direction ..of. President Coolidge. The acceptance automatically cancelled the sentence of five year's suspension Imposed by the court mirtial, wliich held him guilty of Insubordination. Mr. .Mitchell immediately resumed his flffht against war and navy management of the national defence. He recalled his efforts tn "better Conditions from within the service." and declared his intention ns a citizen to keep up the struggle for a national defenco "organized in a single department " At the same time, he announced thai he would tour the country fur the next throe months to carry "straight to the people a picture of ihe true condition of our national defence."

Talks A:-out Kail Hoard A. M. Young. Liberal, Saskatoon, said the greatest plec1 of legislation of many years had been the creating the laiiway commission in 1906. In northern Saskatchewan j there was discrimination in freight ! rates resulting from the limited ap- ■ plL-atlon of the Crow's Nest Pass I agreement. It amounted, to 2 cents I per hundred pounds on grain and flour moving eastward. Representations had been made to the commission, hut no action had been tuken. Mr. Young quoted from the original agreement to establish the rights of the epople shipping on lines not in existence in 1807 to the present Crow rates. The enrnmi*-*slon as he unit fi stood it. had been created In order that matters might be brought before It easily, and dealt with expeditiously. In this matter there seemed to be a great delay. The railway commission had said that It was a court of Justice. ,Mr. Voting claimed thnt it was not the purpose of the creators of the commission to make it merely a court of law. He offered two suggestions, (1) perhaps western Canada could have la rger representations on the board, or t2) perhaps a section of the board could be permanently located In the west where cases could bo dealt with more Bpeedlly. The very greatest asset to Canada was her agriculture and this industry should receive prime consideration. A protective tariff tended to build up cities, but it should not he forgotten that a city could only be as prosperous as the country around it. The protective principle, was not the proper one. <* Supporta Bay Roa-4 Mr. Young supported the early completion of the Hudson Bay railway. It was essential to the weft, and both Conservatives and Liberals were committed to Its construction. Mr. Young gave as one reason why Saskatchewan had not had a Tory sovunment to the fact that Manitoba adjoining had enjoyed that doubtful privilege. Saskatchewan had been ably governed from the first. He was sincerely Interested In maritime right*, but had been sorry to hear the advocates of those provinces make attacks on Sir Henry Thornton. Sir, Henry had given Canada a very excellent s?rvler. in the national railways. Mr. Young concluded his speech with an appeal to the Progressives for cooperation. The government and Progressives should cooperate to Initiate legislation to carry into effect that policy enunciated in the speech from the throne.

Alex Stewart said It wus 12:25 o'clock Sunday morning tbat he saw the police light flash, and being near the Hume hotel he rushed Into there dud telephoned the telephone operator, who, he said, toid him that a lady" screamed over the phono that there had been a murder ■ommlttcd in . the next house to Jim Hold's, Fairview. On locating the Mathews residence, and as he was running toward it, he heard someone groaning. He found the door locked, but could see Into iho house, and saw Mrs. Mathews standing on the floor and doubled down. Tho officer said Mrs. Mathews made an attempt to come to the door, hut he put his weight against It and broke into tho house, smashing the ;door open. When he got Into the room, Mrs. M'athews appeared to be In great agony, and he noticed the clothes about the front of her stomach were torn quite a int and had a tattered appearance, for she kept pulling at them and tearing them. "Oh, He SViot Me; He Shot Mc!" Tiie officer stated she kept repeating. "Oh, he shot me! He shot me!" and although she did not mention any name, she kept pointing at Lyonnais. whose body he found lying on the kitchen floor, face downward, and stretched out more or Icks on the right side. Lyonnais' Arm Quivered Mr. Stewart said Lyonnais* right arm was hooked around his head und on the floor, and his left arm wns stretched out at an angle of 25 degrees from his left side and also on the fluor.. The rifle, shown at the inquest, he said, was lying in that space between his left arm and left side, the muzzle pointing toward the ■pit of his arm. At his first look ar the body, the officer suid, the bead and left arm slightly moved, with a small quiver. '■I examined the rifle and found an empty shell in it," said tho officer, "and measured the rifle, finding it tu be 38 inches long and 24 % inches from the muzzle to the trigger of the rifle. I also measured the length frum the tip of Lyonnais' fingers' to •the pit of his arm, and found it to bo about 28 Inches." Held Rifle to Own Chest "Mrs. Muthews," continued the officer, "told mo that 'Dolph* held the rifle up with his hands, with the muzzle resting on his right chest, and pulR'd the trigger. T think this could be possible myself." The officer stated that after he bad sent In calls for Chief uf Police Thomas H. Long, the coroner, and a doctor, he began asking Mrs. Mathews questions in regard to the shooting. He said she told him she had been cut. and came home "with a few drinks in her," and "Dolph" and she &ot into an argument over her drinking. She told him Sergeant Stewart that while they were quarrelling she picked up The Daily News, and while she was reading it Lyonnais went into the washroom. When he came out he had a rifle In his hands; she jumped to her feet, and before she had time to move he had fired two shots, and they hit her. The officer said Mrs. Mathews told him the shots were fired from near the washroom door, and after he had shot her he walked into the kitchen, put the gun to his chest, pulled the trigger and shot himself. "1 usked her how many shots were fired." said the officer, "and Bhe replied that she was certain that three were fired, but there might have been more." The officer snld he found two empty shells lying on the kitchen floor, mid saw three bullel holes un the walls. , . . ,, "Accurding tu the story which Mrs. Mathews told me." said Sergeant Stewart, "the bullet marks culncide with the shuotiing." ..■',:' Husband Admits Love Match Glover Cleveland Mathews, husband of Mrs. Mathews, next called, stated that on the night of the shooting trugedv he was at 215 Luke street, where he said he roomed and boarded. He stated he had not been living with his wife fur about a month or more un account ot divorce proceedings. She was suing for divorce. "Lyonnais was supposed to M rooming und boarding at my wife's hou.e," said -Mr. Mathews, "and paying her $30 per month. Lyonnais and my wife wore supposed to have been In love with each other to a certain degree." "Why should be scrap?" asked Coroner Dr. li. H, MacKeuzie. "Well," said Mathews, "I think, mustly un his part, they eure badly In luve with each other, and jealous." "Had your wife ever mentioned Lyonnais to you?" asked the coroner. "My Wife told me. about five weeks ago, that she was In love with Lyonnais." replied Mathews, "and he has been living at my wife's house fur practically two months." "Was there any Intimacy shown between the two, ..while yuu were living at the house?'' asked the coroner. "Yes." "Did they go Out much, together?" asked the. coroner. j ! "No. Very little,*' answered Mathews. Huniilng the rifle to Mr. Mathews, the coroner asked, "Who owna this rifle?" "It helunged to my wife, and Is i 3*0-30 Winchester Carbine," sale Mathews. "My wife was a very good shut with the gun, and occasionally went out shooting game."

FEBIU-AI-Y 8, 1926 Manual Training's Place "Manual training ls to have a placa on the school program for toys, not to make them carpenters " or shipbuilders or metalworkers,' but becaus It will, more fully ; than any oth,er school experience yet discovered by educators, develop in them certain purposes, skills and attitudes necessary for complete living." — Educational Purvey statement quoted by Gerald Blackett in The Dally News. Certain purposes, skills and attitudes that we want the boys of the nation to have are more certainly developed by the manual training route than by any pther, our commissioners have told us. . A boy thought stupid may have a marvellous aptitude for the .use of tools. With those tools in his hand, he may be transformed to the front rank of his mates, broadening his interest, which has suddenly become overflowing, now that it has been aroused, to his studies in general. Many an ordinary boy. may not grasp the practical nature of the algebraic relation known as the quadratic equation, but the practical value of a knowledge of how to make a good joining of two pieces of planed wood he sees at once. _ Successful in the one, he may tackle the other with a new viewpoint. While not many years ago many taxpayers would have gladly foregone -the . "frills," among which manual training was classed, now not many parents would wish to see this doubly. valuable training dropped from the curriculum. For, besides ifs 'educational or, drawing, out value—education literally means drawing out , rrfvhich jnakes James a better i-student, it is grounded in practicality, which, as Mr. Blackett has been pointing out to us in his weekly articles, is seemingly the touchstone by which the commissioners have criticized the present school system and made their proposals for radical changes in it. If practicality is to be the watchword of school development in future,, the manual training department, which, in addition to its beneficial influence on scholarship, and to the practical nature of its work, reveals to many a student the bent which Nature meant him to follow and for which he is particularly adopted, must have a secure, indeed basic, place in the curriculum.

My mother-in-law lives in the apartment across the hall and she feels that I will never know how to do anything right. You see, my mother was not a good housekeeper before me. There were always great curls under the furniture In our home! I was working in an office all day and was too tired at night to bother wlth cleaning. Everything was run at odd ends—and this my husband's family know. Do you think good housekeeping must be inherited? , Anewer—*I |hould say not! Many a good housekeeper had an Unwise, carejees^nftfether. (Yet often unwise mothers are. the most lovable and prtjcioiw mothers in the world).

She will be less scornful of your inefficiency when she sees that you appreciate her housekeeping science,and really want to learn.

Address inquiries to Mtee Klrkmaa and Inclose stamped-addressed eovel ope tot reply.—Editor. PARIS.—Being finance minister of France in these -tfmes is no very pleasant Job. There have been foor or five of them ln the hurt six months, and the -fate of all has been the same. Each new finance minister haa prepared a budget, presents It to the chamber, and is defeated, either going out alone, or taking the government with him. The new minister, M. Doumer, may •ucceed, but if se it will be because the chamber has reafched the Conclusion that something has to be done, rather than to the sincere support of a eolid majority which approves of his plan. The house ls really governed, thanks to proportional ■ representation, by two minority groups, one of extreme Conservatives on the right, and one of -communists and extreme Socialists on the left. The last minister of finance, M. toucher, was defeated in an unusual manner.. Before a finance bill goes to tbe chamber ft has to pass the chamber's finance committee. This committee knew that Louch- er'e plan would not pass the house. If lt went before the chamber it . -would, be defeated, and that might mean the downfall of the government, which was not desired at the moment. They have had too many new governments already in the last half year. The finance committee, then, was tianded the axe. - Loucher appeared before the committee to explain hie project. He did Jo, fpr three hours. No member of he committee spoke a word, none asked a question, a most unusual situation. When lie had finished his explanation, decidedly nettled by the si- tetK-e, he asked if anyone would like any farther Information. Still silence prevailed. Then came the first word from the committee. The chair- »iau solemnly aeked if any member would like to ask a question. Still silence. Angry, M. Loucher turned on hla baok and left the room. Then the committee voted to ask the government to submit a new project, and Loucher resigned. French papers described the action ot the commltee, as "the crudest . execution In French politics," though Loucher's project had no friends among ihe press. But many of the. leading French statesmen are finding the strain of the last six months hard on their nerves. During an attack on his policy ln Syria, or rather on Gen. eral Bar rail, the recalled military governor, M. Painleve, the present minister of war and former premier, became so angry last Sunday—the chamber here sits x>a Sunday—that ne lett his seat, and lt took the united persuasion of three party friends to persuade him to remain. M. iierrlot, another former premier, and now speaker of the chamber, is so worn out that he goes to sleep during the debates, and has made one vr two rather extraordinary rulings. ' f m the meantime, M. Calllaux, he of the much checkered career, who fell after his unsuccessful loan consolidation trip to New York, walks up and down tho corridors of the house, monocle ln eye, dressed In the height of fashion, and am in. a at the difficulties of the men who a little while ago again succeeded ln driving him out Of office. f. r, p. ui J i f n :;^j iii;iHj ^ u !i (tu uui:! ^ i ei ej eu^ :iiiU uisiii 'Uiifi h hj i tu lUBUDUimiiiEiuntBUii] mrmf That Body of Yours Br JAMES W.

As students wc gullied the impres shin that the stomach was really not very important from the * digestion standpoint, because people had been kept alive with most of the stomach removed. , However, It .would seem that every Individual organ ln the body now is getting a great deal of.attention from research men, and tl»e stontach is receiving its share. These men first spend a groat deal of time experimenting on real healthy Individuals, and thus finding exactly What the stomach can do In health and how It can vaiy In its work from day to day and stltl be normal. From this point they theft examine the abnormal, unhealthy or sick stomachs, und find Just how they differ from the normal ones. - •**<■*- ■ Aud the tin-it thing they advise us to remember is that the stomach 1s an Important organ of digestion, and the manner in which it does Its work determines to a great extent the cura^ pleteness or thoroughness of digestion and absorption in the smalt in- .testlne. If the stomach is working right it will adapt Itself to any and evefy kind of food. Just think of all the different kinds of food you put into your stomach, turnips, carrots, pota- toeH, bread, cuke, bran, oats, corn, apples, uli kinds of fruits, meats of all kinds. Yet that organ takes them all in, refusing none, and actually works and works upon them until it has everything looking alike, and re* dy to be admitted to the small In- lon.lne for further digestion and absorption. * W hen you remember that somo foods, like lettuce, take an hour to be made ready, eggs and cereals two hours, steak and roast/beef 2^4 hours, rare roast beef three Hours, and roast pork S'/i hours, you can get some Idea of the work It has to do. Some stomachs take a little longer than this, and nervous, worried folks llke-t wise are apt to have stomachs that, are a little "slow" in action. Now, what ls the advice? That while the stomach seems to bo able to lake care of everything, no matter when you take it, you■ can give It the best chance to do Its work by keeping your meals at least five hours apart. LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 1.—A career in the films is Bought by Mr. and Mrs. Charley Taylor of Nicholas county, Kentucky, for their abndr- mally 'large son, Meredith Stanley Taylor, who at 3 \_ years of age weighs 110 pounds and is as strong as the average boy of 15. Aside from his unusual tendency to take on weight, Meredith is a healthy, normal boy, and his parents have hope that some day he will become a star comedian of the films. Mr. Taylor would let his boy "act in the movies" if they would pay him enough, he says, and believes Meredith "would be a great attraction." Falls would have to be eliminated from his acts, however, as the child's greatest- fear is of falling. Even when seated in a chair he is nervous. When sitting down ordinarily he will repose on a cushion. Meredith's unusual growth has attracted attention of physicians throughout central Kentucky, none of whom can give an explanation of his rapid and abnormal development. The child was born on June 5, 1922, and at the* present time weighs 110 pounds, which is probably the greatest weight of any child this age in the country. At birth Meredith weighed 8% pounds, and lt was not until after he was 3 months old that he began to show signs of unusual development. When he waB 1 year old he weighed 62 pounds. Parents Under Average Tne parents of Meredith are below the average in weight. The father is about 50 years of fige and weighs about 140 pounds. The mother weighs 120 pounds. Twu brothers and a sister are rather. frail. None of the members of the family on either the maternal or paternal side Is of abnormal weight. The 42-monthH-old boy has more than ordinary Intelligence for a child of this age, and is able to speak ordinary words clearly and distinctly. He has the voice of a child of 12 to 14 years. The simple games of hide-and-seek, rlng-around-the-rosy and others played .by his brothers and sisters, are as eagerly enjoyed by Meredith as any of them, and, notwithstanding his weight, he is as agile as any of the oth-T children. The baby of the family Insofar as age is concerned, Meredith's great weight prevents him from receiving the loving care of children of lhat age. No rocking to sleep ln his mother's lap for him. It Is a task for stronger arms than those of his mother to tuck him to sleep at night. Kneels for Best Meredith has no favorite amusement. From the time he gets up in the morning until he retires at night h. is never idle fo* long at the time, prattling around after his parents or playing with his older brothers and sisters. When he becomes tired he kneels on both knees, which Is his fsvorlte poHltion for resting. His diet consists of the food or the rural folk, meat, vegetables, butter, hot biscuits, sorghum, buckwheat cakes, etc., only he eats a little more than an ordinary grown person. ■ He sleeps about 10 hours at night, and has never been sick a day In his life. Meredith's strength has apparently developed along with his weight, as ho Is as strong as a boy of 15 years. His younger brother, who Is 11 years, of age and weighs about 80 pounds, ls picked "up" and curried across^ the floor, with ease by the boy. ■ .*,, The Taylors are sturdy, Jural folk, of the puro Anglo-Saxon strain corn- iron to this section. Child's Measurement* Following are the measurements of Meredith; Height, 44 Inches. Circumference of head, 22 Inches. Neck, 14 inches. Shoulders, 48 Inches. Chest, 41 inches. Abdomen* 41 Inches. Biceps, 1Z Inches. Thigh, 21 JpcheS. Knee, 18 inches. Calf of -leg, -14 laches. Meredith is gaining an average of one pyund_, a week, his development being much more rapid through the winter than curing the summer monttiB. His parents believe he will wvlgh 150 pounds when he ls 4 ycarjj i>\ age next June. 'Many letters are received by his phr-ents daily asking for pictures ot Meredith. For a time Mr. Taylor at- ttiiK'ied to accommodate them, but the requests became so numerous that he It. now forced lo ignore all appeals.

Delegates representing the board of trade, the I.O.D.E., taxpayers, and tbe public generally, will be Invited to attend and air their opposition, if any, to the appointment of a full-time medical health officer, which is contemplated ty the council.

Ooing Mf .Front Door • "I am not going to tbe country by bay backstair method," warmly declared the premier to an outburst of applause. "I am going In by the front di or." He concluded with reference to cooperation between the Liberals, and I'logressives. He had, ho said, m desire for intrigue or entangle iuectn. "So far us I am concerned,'' added Mr. King, "I have made it perfectly clear that I am ready for any form of cooperation, open and above bourd," but it must be something that is open and above bourd. It must be a relationship that Is understood throughout Canada from one end to ihe other. It must be based on mutual fuitn and mutual good will. On the Hudson Bay railway, the premier declared that, with support, the gcveiuinent,intended to go ahead. "We have support, and we 'ntend lo go ahead," lie announced, the crowd cheering, "nnd that work is' going to be pioceeded with thia year." Premier Dunning of Saskatchewan preceded Premier King at tonight's meeting in support of Premier King's candidature. Premier Dunning said the eyes of the Dominion were on Saskatchewan, Increases ImpoHunc* "Tiie crisis which has come about," he said, "has increased our Importance! —- in the Dominion to a degree which no kjr Bartindale Heard tor Last pressed the hope that we should have one great party from the Atlantic to the Pacific, united us one, standing for Liberal-Progressive principles and policies." Premier King pressed thut Liberals and Progressives had the same fundamental aims. Both stood opposed to Conservative thought and particularly opposed to that extreme form of Conservatism whieh he heartily disliked, numely, Toryism. Toryism aims at the division of the forces opposed" to it, and .the" results of the last election showed how near Toryism came to success because of that division. Conservatives In the election bad not gullied the members they had because of their own strength. They hud gained them in large part because Liberals und Progressives were divided. Co n a ra tola tea K nox Premier King puid u special tribute to Albert Knox, formerly Progressive member for Prince Albert, for refusing to offer uny opposition to his candidature. "Mr. Knox." continued Premier King, "was a great help to me In the lust parliament. Muy 1 say also that I do not think that the house of commons hud any stronger champion of the Hudson Hay railway thun Mr. Knox, and I am glad to tell you lhat uli we need to do is tu unite und keep united und thut Hudson Bay railway will be completed very shortly." I Claims Conservative Opposition The prime minister referred to statements which he said hud been issued by Conservatives in Prince Albert and hy Conservatives ut Ottawa that there would be no Conservative opposition iu Prince Albert. He hud thought at the time that Conservatives were doing a chivalrous net and returning tt courtesy which Liberals hud extended in times past. Mf. King declared he did not wunt to believe that there had been any lack uf sincerity uu the part of the Conservatives, but if. us appeured tu be the cuae, the gentlemen who signed the nomination papers uf Mr. Burgess were Conservatives; "If I find in his meetings Conservatives udvocating his platform, if I find Conservatives coming in from outside to work for him, I shall leuve the public of the Dominion to judge fur themselves Just how chivalrous und honorable the ence begged for more, but It was forthcoming. Cheers tor "Bart*" Colonel Taylor, again iu costume i on an appropriately arranged sang "The Nipper's Lullaby," and' response tu what amounted to a demand for more, rendered "It's Juat Her Way." Toward the close of -the evening Colonel Taylor spoke of the approaching departure from the district of Mr. bartindale. and in a neat speech eje- pressed 'he regret of the residents of Willow Point. "We know," the colonel said, "that Mr. Bartindale resides in Nelson, but we have always felt that he is one of us." Mr. Bartlndale's kindness hi always placing his musical talents at the disposal of any who asked was also dwelt on. This was followed with the singing of "Fpr He's a Jolly (Jood Fellow," and three cheers for "Bart" The work of Mrs, Nlveti ■ contributed largely to the success of the evening. Khe played the accompaniments for all the musical numbers, and, with Mr. I'i.rtindal*-. pluy.-d fur the majority of the" dances, Oth.-rs who helped with the dance music were Mrs. A.

Mr, Dunning spolfe of efforts at cooperation between'Liberals and Pro- gressrvTH-at-pttawur~TC Arna not, he said, a question of secret bargaining or underhand arrangements, but a plain, -straightforward cooperation to put Into effect the policies outlined in the speech from the throne. The issue between Premier King and the Independent candidate, continued Mr.. Dunning, was nut Just one* between two citizens. Premier King was endeavoring to bring about cooperation between' Liberals and Progressives. His success in the present byelectioit would mean that Prince Albert was putting the seal of Its approval on its efforts along this line. His defeat would spell the defeat of his efforts to bring about cooperation. Always Favored Progs Premier King opened with thanlia to both Liberals and Progressives of Prince Albert for his candidature. He declared that from tho time he was chosen us Liberal leader he had never uttered one single sentence derogatory tp the Progressive party. "I will challenge anyone In Canada," he said, "to quote any word of mtne where I Have denounced the Progressive party as a party, or their motives or ambitions, in any particular.

Everyone; Is Merely an Index, Doctor * c 7.',. _ Says NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—In a talk Recently, Dr. Edward S. McSweeny, meitleal director of the New York Telephone company, said: "Blood pressure ,ln a'word is an index,' not ji disease, and every one has a blood pressure juat as every one has ■ piilne. To keep it normal la largely within our own control. When abnormal the reason can be found only by teste which often puzzle and worry if ha 'cleverest doctor as to their meaning betore he finds the answer, 'You can help yourself by letting him do the worrying." Dr. McSweeny's was one of a program of weekly health talks which i-he state department of health has been broadcasting for nearly four lyears. 'These talks probably have heen heard by hundreds of thousands of persons during this period, and many listeners have written to the department for further Information .it-out the various subjects discussed. "The popular saying, 'One's hlood pressure should be the sum of one's age plus 100,' while in general true," said Dr. MeSweeny, "is, like many such sayings, apt to be absolutely wrong when applied *to any one Individual. There is no such thing aa a standard blood pressure to which every one of a given age should conform, ln fact, even In the individual there are daily differences; slight variations occur by reason even of changing the position from lying down to standing up, or after meals. It is foolish therefore, for any one to attach Importance to having lowered or raised his blood pressure a few paints. The only one who can Interpret your blood pressure reading intelligently ls the physician who has a knowledge of many other things about your individual body and your health. The physician who Is most likely to have this knowledge is the one who has been your' physician for some time. "In general, low blood pressure indicates a lack of general tone. High blood pressure, on the other hand, directs attention to certain diseases, such as the changes due to advancing years and, especially ln women, disturbances of middle age. Test Is Necessary "Only by taking a blood pressure reading with the instrument made for the purpose can it be determined accurately, and often the blood pressure shown by the Instrument is the first suggestion to patient or physician that one of the things it may indicate Is present. A blood pressure test, therefore, should be a part of every good examination, for these conditions, like all others, are most effectively and often successfully treated only when discovered early. "Visible throbbing arteries do not mean high blood pressure, nor does loss of blood necessarily lower it. Tlgh blood pressure does not signify loo much blood or any change at all hi the blood itself, but means that "TRY A NIP TONIGHT" BEST PROCURABLE 7sCa off—* • OTTIED t 6U»«»NTIJDjr /J fer^^sf*-^ W-OOUCt Or SCOTLAND \^ The Original Libel — look for tt st the Vendor's and insist on GRANT'S "BEST PROCURABLE" This advertisement Is not published or displayed by the Liquor Control Board or by the Government of British Columbia. * tiie blood la attempting to circulate under abnormal resistance. "That 'one is as old,as his arteries' is another popular saying. High blood pressure too often shows that the patient, while perhaps knowing this old saw, has not realized what he could do to influence the matter; by overeating and drinking, chronic constipation and repeated unnecessary colds and other infections he has carried a load for years under which he has finally broken down. "Nature provides a wide margin of safety for most of us, but lt ls not Inexhaus table. The ills which we generally class as petty or trivial, frequently repeated, and bad habits of hygiene long continued are probably much more concerned In most of us in determining whether we live as long as we should and are able to enjoy such length of life as Is given us than the comparatively few serious diseases which are common among adults. You cannot buy a lower blood pressure. The most a skilled physician can give you is advice which you and only you can carry out. Regret and remorse may save your soul, but will lower your blood pressure but very little If years of bad living or neglect have raised lt to a high point. "On the other hand, if high blood pressure is found and leads to the discovery of kidney disease, and if it should indicate syphilis a cure can bo effected. If, on the other hand, the high blood pressure ls only, a temporary phenomenon, one of many symptoms of a natural 'change which will pass in a short time, there is no need to be unduly alarmed about it; the measures which favorably Influence such states will also affect blood pressure and help to keep it within bounds until it. returns to normal. A blood pressure, well below normal limits indicates the necessity of finding out what is the cause of the poor condition and eradicating it."

An Important Session Tho Session Of parliament just opening should bo one of the greatest Importance, The speech from the throne was rend privately at official banquets given in the house of lords and the house of commons by tho prime minister, Stanley llnkHvin. These nre also very ceremonious functions, uniforms and orders being worn. When the servants retire, the speech is read for private information.
