Bathing suits have been taken out of mothballs, straw hats are once more in vogue, flimsy dresses are be­ ing donned by the ladies and the ex­ clamation “My word, isn’t it warm?” is being heard as midsummer temper- atures suddenly hit Toronto. The scenes ABOVE show how Toronto is taking the welcomed heat wave. In (1), a line-up of youngsters, big and little, wait their turn to get a sip of water from the fountain in Alan Gar- dens. The boys in (2) were pretty warm, so they figured that the horse must be pretty warm too. They did their good deed for the day by spong­ ing off the horse’s head.. The boys in (3) fooled “Old Sol”. They went into ’the lake. Perhaps their call, “Come on in the water’s fine,” was shouted through chattering teeth, but they were cool in any event. The girls in (4) also appeared at Sunnyside beach ready for a cooling dip. They found that ice cream cones supplied an excellent way in which to remain- comfortable.

HOMUTH The departments of public health, of this country are doing a great deal with the money you place at their disposal to protect you against dis­ ease and to give you information con­ cerning those health practices which are the basis of your personal health., What you do with the information you receive is your personal reponsi- bility. There is no particular merit in the possession of a vast store of health information. The only value of its possession comes from its use-. That is the sole way in which results, can be obtained. The diabetic, under medical super­ vision, can live a practically normal life if he will adhere to his diet and (if it is indicated in his case) use ipsulin. in the manner prescribed. This is his responsibility; no one else can do it for him. A damaged heart, provided it is not called upon to do more than it is cap­ able of doing, may function adequate­ ly for many years. To live a some­ what restricted life, to stop before be­ coming tired, to conserve heart beats —these are the sole responsibility of the individual whose heart is dam­ aged. Nature has been generous in some ways. We can get along ,for exam­ ple, quite well with one kidney or one lang. It is possible to collapse one tuberculous lung and place it at com­ plete rest so as to have a better chance to heal. It depends upon the individual, following the advice of his doctor, to profit by such a situation so as to recover his health. Regular is simply a good habit,, whereas constipation is a bad one. It is the responsibility of each one of us to secure regular elimination through a regular toilet hour, the use of a diet which promotes bowel ac­ tivity, and reasonable body exercise which brings into play the large mus­ cles of the body, including those which form the abdominal walls. Within the limits of the law, you can buy drugs and attempt to treat yourself, which, incidentally, is some­ thing a doctor does not try to do for himself. On the other hand, you can,, instead, secure the advice of a qual­ ified person who prescribes treat­ ment, if needed, only after an exam­ ination which reveals the cause and. nature of the condition for which treatment is required. Fresh air costs nothing, It is a res­ ponsibility of each one to secure fresh air by spending part of the day out of doors, and by sleeping In a room with the window opened sufficiently to keep the room cool, and the air fresh and in gentle motion. Personal health is largely a person­ al responsibility; it comes through giving reasonable attention to the body needs, and adjusting the habits of life to the condition of the body. Questions concerning health, ad­ dressed to the Canadian Medical As­ sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Halliday at­ tended the funeral of the late, Mr. Wm. Montgomery, south of Gorrie, which was held last Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. J.
