IMMUNIZATION WEEK Each • and every year we have a great many weeks; set apart for vari- ous activities or objectives. Some of these are of vital importance to so- ciety or at least a portion of our people. This week, November 14th - 20th, has been set aside by the Health League of Canada as Immunization Week and it is a most important one. The, health of our people is our coun- tries greatest asset and to-day we can assure the health of many of our people who would not otherwise en- joy such benefit by Immunization. In the old days people died like flies -dur- ing an epidemic of smallpox , while now in countries and, places where the vaccine is used and other necessary precautions are taken this disease is a rarity. All children should be treat- ed that they need not fear contracting this disease. On of the most notable forward steps in immunization is that against diphtheria. Tthose who are properly toxoided are immune to this life-taking scourge, Whooping cough and scarlet fever can also be stopped in its march of death by preventative measures. Parents should be alive to the fact that these diseases are all avoidable and in time they could be eliminated. If you have not had your children so protected full information' can be had from your doctor or from the medical officer of health. Make it a Point this week to give this matter 'your consideration. *, * THE CHRISTMAS SEAL According to information from the Queen Alexandra Sanatorium, Lon- don, it was in 1903, forty years ago, that Einar Holbein, a humble Danish postmaster, first introduced the Christ- mas Seal in order that help might be 'given to those whose lives were sail- The opening session of the DomitIP- ion-Provincial Conference on Labour Called by the Dominion Department of Labour, was officially started by Dominion Labour Minister, the Hon, litimplirey Mitchell, who welcomed delegates from eoery province in the Dominion.

Ontario, When these beauti- ful seals reach your home, buy them in order that your Western Ontario Sanatorium may continue its valiant fight for victory over the White Plague. It was but a few weeks ago that we visited this fine institution at Byron-, near London, and we Caine away with the impression that the work there is being carried on effici- ently hut in a most humane manner. We talked with some of the patients and they were all loud in their praises of the treatment, both medical and otherwise, that they were receiving. This disease is public enemy No. 1, and all can take part in its elimination by assisting our own Sanitorium carry on its work to relieve and cure those who are stricken and make a deter- mined effort to stamp it out. Your purchases of seals are solicited but :larger donations would be very wel- come indeed. * * * Wingham Horse Show is Thursday evening, 'November 25th.
