THE GOOD ROADS BYLAW.
The county council is finding it a
difficult task to reconcile the claims
tut the various municipalities in rewire
ti the good rads fund. At the time
of writing it seems as if the difflcul
ties encountered might delay the
aloptioi of the scheme indefinitely
but we hope that the special sleeting

the approval of some plan for partici-
listing in the mjlliou-dollar fund
which the Province has stet aside fol

the county council is waking its tasa
a more difficult one than need be. It
is not absolutely necessary that each
t,)wnslip muuicipalily should receive
an exact measure of direct benefit
from the fund. The matter should U;
considered as a county schen.,', and
there should be a considerable degree
of give and tale amoug the various
municipalities. \Voile they are sit-

ia. THE HOSPITAL BOARD.
The hoard of trustees of Alexandra
hospital have earned the gratitude of
the people of this town and district
for their services during (he first yea)
of the hospital's working existence
The difficulties in .tarting such an in-
stitution on its career ere many and
immensities vexatious, bu•, .o tar they
have been wet and ov'nrorne, and it fr
to be expected that the efforts which
the board have 80 surresbfully meth
during this initial yetir will render the
work of eueceeiing years n0mewht'
easier. We trust that the lint an
nual repent of the board published in
The Signal of last week has Iwen
widely read, and that the expressions
of thanks to the Daughters of the
Empire and to ut11441n who have
helped towards the maintenance of
the hospital knee found a Beady echo
in the hearts of a11.
It will 111 a matter of gratification
to well -w inhere of the hospital to know
that His Honor Judge Ilolt is elected
for another year _Mt preeidrnl of the

C. P. R. TRAIN SERVICE.
The action of the 1'. 1'. R. in Inking
off one of its trains Iwtween bele and

account of the ,,ndili4)ms prevailing
this winter which hat 1, kept passen-

One of the important matters whieh
is to come before the Ontario Legir-

into the queened", and their report
will bet presented shortly after the ses-
sion )pane. Among other place.' visit•
ed by this committee in the search
for information was the Mansfield
Reformatory in Ohio, and it is thought
that this penal institution will serve
as something of a pattern for Ontario
it haa already been announced that
in all probability a prison farm will
be established, and the contract sys-
tem of prison Labor abolished. Both
these things have been done at Mans-
field. but there the length of imprison.
ment depends entirely' upon the be-
havior of the prisoner himself- Every
sentence imposed ie • general one
with no fixed limit or duration. With
this goes • parole system, though this
doe. not take effect until the pr(a-
oner has served one year. At Mans-
field a system of marks is in vogue,
which are awarded for personal de-
meanor, diligence in labor or study
and the results attained. If a man's
record is good for one year employ-
ment is secured for him and he is re-
stored to full citizenship. in ten
rears at Mansfield 2,150 men have
been turned out, and it is said that
at least three quarters of this number
have been restored to society. The
net coat per capita is about Shy/ a
year.
The prisgtter. are employed in
erecting Igew prison buildings. in mak-
ing shoes for themselves and Other
pnsonere, and in the manufsetur4 of
brooms, harness and tinware to a lim-
ited extent. The men are allowed a
portion ed their earnings up to 9n per
rent. In connection with the prison
is • farm of 250 scree• from which
there was it net profit of 510.000 in
1906. Men were put to work all over
thee farm without immediate truants.
and out of 100 men employed in this
way in 1906 only five attempted to
escape. It is claimed that such free
dem tends to develop self-rretraint
and character.

Sad Story of a Mother of Four

What are Canadians doing to
Combat this Disease?
We are shocked at the tragedies that
the newspapers record almost daily.
through railway accidents, explosions,
falling buildings, and other causes.
Each incident roust surely draw upon
our sympathies.
But sad and lamentable a1 these ere,
the results are insignifieant compared
witle the loss of life and prolonged
suffering that comes to thousands in
the Dominion stricken with that dread
disease Consumption.
3,000 die annually in the province of
Ontario from this disease; probably
double that number, taking the Dum-
iuion throughout.
We have on our desk a little booklet,
issued by the National Sanitarium
Association, by whom was established
in 1902 the Mwakoka 1''ree Hospital for
Consumptives. in there pages are
