These places ill returned Dr. MacNaughton wltb n substantial majority, a Utile better than two io ime. consequently th" lories began to smile ami it was very evident thai McKenzie would have lo poll a big vole In liis home town to overcome the lend of tho doctor, Whon word wns received from Courtenay tbat the conservative bad won over his liberal opponent In tho hitter's home town, ihe joy of tlie conservatives knew no bounds. Willi a majority of 1)2 over McKenzie in Courtenay and 11.1 In Cumberland, the election of Dr. MacNaughton wns practically assured. I.ate In llie night tlie outlying places of the riding began to send in ihe result of their voting which helped lo swell the victory ot the Cumberland man- Great jubilation was shown at the War Veterans' Hull, headquarters of the Cumberland conservatives. A procession was formed nnd a few ot the huskies shouldered Dr. MacNaughton, marching up Dunsmuir nvenue and on to tbe doctor's residence. Some supporter of the genial doctor lei his enthusiasm have full sway, ringing tbe lire siren for a considerable time, it was a most foolish thing to do as a good many of ihe people had rollred for Ihe nlghl. About an hour later some otlier resident, said to be a staunch liberal tried the same stunt, succeeding In going one better, as half the town was nrousod thinking a fire had really started.

BICKLE FRIDAY, JULY 20th, 192S THE VICTORY THE RIDING of Comox hits for the second time in sueession returned a Cumberland man to be its representative i nthe Provincial Legislature. At the last election, Mr. P. P. Harrison the well known local barrister represented Comox as an Independent Liberal but did not seek re-election on this occasion. Dr. MacNaughton, of this city was chosen by the Conservatives to contest the seat, having for his opponent Mayor J. W. McKenzie, of Courtenay. Locally, the contest was of a lively nature, with the doctor ruling the favorite all through the campaign. When the results were made known on Wednesday night, the successful Conservative candidate was tendered a great ovation, Liberal and Tory tendering congratulations in no uncertain manner. We take this opportunity of congratulating the doctor on his success. Dr. MacNaughton must feel highly gratified at the confidence placed in him on this his lirst appeal for the suffrage of his fellow- citizens, and there is not the slightest doubt that in him Comox riding and Cumberland in particular will find a worthy, a very capable and conscientious representative. Doctor, we congratulate you from the bottom of our hearts. their toil but may it not be that they, with all their swollen money bags, are placing false values on life? Is it not achievement that counts more than possession? Let the young men stay in Canada. Babson is right. But let us who constitute the people of Canada see that Canada is a country that young men will have no desire to leave. If low wages are a factor in driving young men to other countries then let wages be higher. Low wages are a curse to any country. The bigger the wage fund the more money the wage earners have to spend and do spend, which means more money for the merchant and everybody concerned in the manufacture or distribution of commodities. Give all men a chance to profit by their toil for Canada. Rich corporations don't make a country rich. It is a high general level of prosperity that counts, Make it worth while for young men to stay in Canada and they will stay. But, in any case, the right young man will make conditions right for himself. HEALTH SERVICE of the Canadian Medical Association WHY LEAVE CANADA? RODGER W. BABSON, the economist, has been saying that the young men who leave Canada for the United States are just so many fools. He does not put it that way, but that is what he implies. Young men are much better off in Canada than in United States, the economist declares, in that Canada needs men and there are bigger and better opportunities here. This despite the fact that salaries and wages are higher in the neighboring country than here. This kindly warning by Mr. Babson is at once timely and necessary. There will always be a large number of young men with restless feet who must go out into the world and tempt fortune in other lands. The fields will always seem greener to some the farther away they are. But Canada is a young man's country; a country to grow up with. With its vast untapped natural resources and its potential wealth to be won for the working, this country will repay hard and efficient labor as few countries will. It will not, however, be by selling millinery antl haberdashery behind a counter, or by adding up columns of figures in an office that young men will win fortune in Canada. Those jobs are jobs for "sheep" not for men. Canada calls to the youth of the land to till the soil, mine the ores, cut the lumber, and in a hundred ways develop the natural resources. The country does not need any more white collar wearers. What it needs is men who will roll their sleeves up, antl work, going out into the fields and taming them, spreading our civilization and reaping rich rewards for doing it. There are new railway lines to be built, rivers to be bridged, unknown regions rich in mineral wealth to bc explored, and great uninhabited tracts of country to be populated. Canada is not built in St. James Street or in the financial purlieus of Toronto antl Winnipeg. It is built by pioneers who rough it but who wrest fortunes from the hands of the Gods. True it is, that often the financiers steal from the pioneers the fruits of BARON BYNG'S NEW JOB IT IS ENTIRELY the business of the people of London, or rather of the British Government, to who shall be the head of the London Police Force. The selection of Baron Byng, former Gov ernor-General of Canada for the position, however is of interest to the people of Canada who remenr ber him with feelings of kindness and, naturally, still feel that in a sense he belongs to them. Baron Byng was a popular Governor-General, and even if he blundered somewhat at the time of the political crisis at Ottawa they will not hold that against him. What most of us will probably feel about Lord Byng becoming Chief of Police, which, although that may not be his official title, is what he will actually become, is that it seems rather a come' down from the position of Governor-General of the oldest of His Majesty's Dominion overseas. It seems to minimize the importance of Canada in the Imperial scheme of things. We have rather come to regard the person of our Governors-General as being almost as sacred as we regard that of the King. Perhaps that is an ultra-Loyalist view, nevertheless, it expresses what many of us feel. We have looked upon the office of Governor- General as a most exalted one, which undoubtedly it is. All this may be said, and is said .without any feeling of flunkeyism or snobbery. We sim ply deal with facts as they present themselves before us. Of course, it does not matter where or how a man serves, so long as he serves. A man who is a gootl street-sweeper is a good public servant. A good cop is not to be despised. There is dignity to labor even in its humblest forms. Yet from Governor-General to Chief of Police is a descent. What is to be feared is that if our Canadian Governors-General, when they give up being Governors-General, are to become plain simple policemen, or stockbrokers, or newspaper editors, say, then the old time respect for the office and the esteem for its occupant may disappear. It may be that in th expression of these views there is a tinge of egotism. Perhaps we think too much of ourselves in Canada. It may be that we do not like policemen and so don't like to think of Lord Byng as the head of the police force of London. But, whatever may be our feelings in these respects, we shall agree that the man who so worthily filled the position of the King's Representative in Canada is deserving of a much higher niche of usefulness than that of head of the London Police. It may be that the Home Government does not wish to utilize Baron Byng's services in gubernatorial posts because of his alleged faux pas over the constitutional issue, but the people of Canada harbor no ill feeling against him and would gladly see him serving the Empire in some more ambitious manner than the position he has lately had thrust upon him. DR. W. BRUCE GORDON Dental Surgeon Office Cor. of Dunsmuir Ave. Opposite Ilo-Ilo Theatre CUMBERLAND, B.C. 1 j j King George Hotel: ; i I good service, reasonable charges.! ! I Centrally Located: Question concerning Health, addressed to the Canadian Medical Association, 184 College Street, Toronto, will be answered. Questions as to diagnosis and treatment will not be answered. Life Extension During the past fifty years, fifteen years have been added to Ihe life expectancy of each new-born infant. This has come about chiefly because the scientific knowledge concerning the prevention and treatment of acute infectious discuses has been useil. The acute diseases, such a*i .ntiuslea diptheria, typhoid fever and scarlet fever, are discuses of early life. It is generally known that tliey are communicable and dangerous. It is agreed that they should be placed under the control of health authorities and thai they are a state responsibility. Other acute infectious diseases, such as the summer diarrhoeas of infants, are being successfully combated. As a result of modern health work, many more people live to reach ilf'.y years of age, but those arriving at tbe age of fifty have not any greater expectancy of life than had those of the same age during the past few decades. In later life the Individual ls tbe victim, not so much of acute diseases but of what are called the chronic degenerate diseases. These latter are the result of the premature wearing- out or breaking-down of one or moro parts of the body. In later life also there are infections. These infections are not acute as In early life, but they are chronic. They are dangerous because they are insidious in their origin, hidden and difficult t0 recognize. They do not destroy life by reason of the damage lhey do at tbe point where they exist but by the damage done to parts distant from this point, through the poison they pour into the blood stream. Abcessed teeth and infected tonsils are such dangerous'foci of infection. Carried for years, with little or no discomfort, tbey are continually pol s ming the blood stream and. sooner or later, they cause damage to tbe heart blood vessels, kidneys or other organs. If human life after fifty Is to be prolonged, such foci of Infection must be discovered nnd removed. The Periodic Health Examination offers the most practical means for doing ibis.

Several good catches have been reported at Comox, and fishermen who have been waiting for the opportunity to enjoy the thrill of playing the big fellows, will now be out tn force. Best fishing is low tide at daybreak. Springs are also becoming plentiful in the river here, and Kye Bay also reports some nice catches. At Kye Bay, one of Prof. Bates' pupils landed a 25 pounder, and lost his tackle on two others. The best fishing is in the evening regardless of tides. Local trout fishing is very good, and should furnish the angler with plenty of sport. Shower Given Miss B.

Each team scored one run in the flrst, Courtenay coming right back with another in the second and two more in the third, giving them a three run lead. Alberni scored four runs in the sixth innings and gave the locals a tough argument until the eighth, when Courtenay got their eyes on the ball and batted in three ruus which proved to be enough to win. 3atteries for Alberni were, Naslund and North, and McKee and Downey for Courtenay. The same teams will play a return game on the local grounds next Sunday, which all lovers of clean sport should make it a point to see, as the boys ere playing a snappy brand of ball.
