working in Prince Rupert and
well as the cost of living in each
pay of the members of the local

police force shows that the constables here get less money than
they do in Vancouver. In Vancouver first ciass constables, rank-
ing the same as Constables Adams and Bailey, get $158 a month

and they have to do nothing but patrol work, a detective depart- |
ment looking after the purely detective work.

First class con-

stables here get $150 a month and they work an hour longer
each day than in Vancouver and also they are expected to do
detective work, and in fact are quite proficient at certain classes

of detective duty.

Other copstables get only $140 a month.

In view of the criticisms which have been levelled at the
“force” from time to time and in view of the extremely difficult
nature of the work they have to perform, especially in a small

city, it seems as if they ‘should at least get as much money as'!

in the cities to the south.

Life of Policeman
Not a Cynasure.

The police constable has anything but a pleasant life. He is

always expected to endanger his life in the interests of the com-}

munity in handling dangerous criminals when occasion requires,

and he is continually getting called down by a commission, each!
member of whom has his views on the manner in which the law.

Charges of graft and rakeoff are often spread recklessly in

regard to members of police forces generally, and it is hardly to |
be wondered at that constables should be suspected of getting |
money illicitly when the pay they receive is scarcely enough to|
allow them to live decently without aid from outside.
way to get away from these suspicions is to pay the men well |
and expect them to give good service in return.

Just now at

anyrate the police seem to be earning their money.

Chief’s Salary
Is Very Meagre.

The salary of the Chief of Police here is $185 a month, and
for this he is responsible for the law and order of the city, is
subject to disagreeable cross questioning and remarks every
time the police commission meets and is expected to advise the
commission and to do an immense amount of preventive work
of which the public never dreams.

The Daily News realizes that the expenses of the city are
heavy and the taxes high, but that is no reason for underpaying

workers in any department. If

“GOOD HEALTH IS THE

“FRUIT-A-TIVES” Brings Vigor and
Vitality and Thus Protects
Against Disease

There ean be no doubt that the
Situation regarding the spread o
Influenza throughout Canada is one
of grave concern, It is quite true
that the number of cases does not
constitute an epidemicsuch as caused
the suffering and sorrow during the
terrible days of 1918. Yet there is
no disguising the f.ct that everyone
should be on their guard against the

“ASC.

di

In Montreal alone, from January
20th to l’ebruary 2st, three thousand,
one hundred and twenty-two cases of
Influenza and 139 deaths from the
disease were reported to the Health
Department,

lf the outbreak had come at the
beginning of the winter instead of
the end, we might reasonably feel
that the very cold weather would
check the spread of the disease. But
coming as it has, at the end of the
winter, there is grave fear that an
epidemic may occur. For spring,
with its slush and rain under foot
its dampness and chill, its constant
changing from cold to warm and
back again, is a prolific source of
coughs and colds, pleurisy and
| pneumonia,

The best protection, in fact, the
only safeguard against the ’Flu, is,

are underweight; those who are
