National Aid For Students Is Advocated Paul Martin, M.P., For Essex East, Urges a System of Scholarships For Brilliant But Needy Canadians. The government should Investi- gate the desirability of a system of national scholarships for out- standing students who are fiDanciaN ly uuablo to continue their educa- tion, according to a resolution, spon- sored by Paul JIartin, Liberal, Es- sex East, appearing In the House of Commons votes and proceedings. The scholarships would enaible the Btudcnta to obtain undergrdau- ate or post graduate training in universities, agricultural colleges and technical schools. "Help Brightest Young People" "The Important Industrial nations of the world are spending large sums annually In scholarship sys- tems to ensure that the most bril- liant of their boys and girls may not be prevented, because of a lack of financial resources, from secur- ing adequate academic training to enable them to take their proper place as thoroughly trained leaders In Industrial, professional and pub- lic life of their respective coun- tries," the resolution said. "In this age of scientific advance In all walks of life, Canada can- not afford to ignore longer and loso the tremendous asset which it possesses in the latent ability for trained leadership of the bright- est of her young people."

USES BOTH HANDS TO WRITE Letter From a Man of 90 He asks us to excuse his writ- ing. We do more than that â€" we congratulate him on being able to write at all at his age, especially as he has been suffering from rheumatism. This is what he says in his letter: â€" "Three years ago I was in bed for fix weeks with inflammatory rheumatism. Since that time I have been taking Kruschcn Salts, and have not had another attack. But the complaint left nie with in- flamed feet, and it hurt, me to wall;. My hands were also some- what stiff. I took Kruschen every morninjr before breakfast, and shall continue to do so, because I am sure they have kept me in good shape for three years. Excuse this writing as I am ninety years old, and use both hajids to write." â€" J.R.G. The pain and stiffness of rheu- matism are often caused by uric acid in the muscles and joints. Kruschen helps to dissolve and re- move excess uric acid in a gentle way through the natural channels. Renewed health and vigour is the result. rff *•••• " 9UlttMi IV* M< 'IIS 0.0.W' GUARANTEED RELIEF! Try the Hctivo oxyticii tr< lUmcnt for the relief of bleeding. Itch- ing piles.
