L'The Worst Thing m the World" Was the
. title of the children's story told by Rev. J. W.
• Stewart on Sunday morning. It is gossip, ,Mr.
• Stewart said and pointed. out that anything
.that bears repeating should first pass the three
tests: "Is it true, kind, necessary?" He stressed,
the inability to retrieve • gossip, once ithas -
spread, by the story of the Italian who con-
fessed this sin to his priest, and was ordered
to place a feather at the door bf every home
ixi the Village. • This 'done the Italian reported
le the priest that .he had completed his •easy
task, but te his' dismay, found that he must \
return and , gather up each, feather, which by •
. then had 'blown to the four winds: So the next ,
time you are tempted to pass on some juicy
morsel :q.gossip, first put it to the three tests,
and remember it will spread like, the feathers, .
and can never be recovered • •
. Another sound test might be: "Is it print-
able"? Street talk stories are oftenlindulged •
in as the gospel 'truth, but try fo assexiible these
"facts" for publication and we 'Often find - that

With a view to recommending

-ial-- secUrity-in Canada -a- coin-
mitteil has been meeting since
March' 16. A great many witnes-
ses have been celled, including

adian Medical Association; Dr.

gery at Toronto University; Miss

He -pointed lout that Clirriatic con-
• ditions in Ontario arid Quebec
• are 'very similer, .but the death
rate from tuberculosis is only 25

a cost of 30 cents per -x-ray. LaSt
year the deat19 rate in Saskatelie-
wan was slightly higher than the
Ontario rate, but since free treat-
ment has been introduced ii
Saskatchewan there has been a
remarkable drop in the death
rate.
S_Imilar statistics have been
compiled ° in connection with
treatment of insanity, or mental
illness as it is now called. There
are about 47,000 people in the

there has been -a marked im-,

infant mortality rate is, 45 per

with. 60 in' Canada. The fact -that
the death. rate is much lower in
