remendolrrs: Loss to Province in One Year. -Great
Infant Mortality
A d patch from Toronto says:
jr.C avis • H ett
a �., odg s, medical
naadviser to the Conservation Corn-
mission, Ottawa, addressed the
chief officials and inspectors of the
civic department of health in the
City Hall on Wednesday on "Con-
sezvation of Life." Dr. Hodgetts
cited figures to show that infant
mortality in Ontario is at the rate
of 195 deaths per 1,000 populatiea:
By infant mortality he meant the
death of babies w`thin a year from
their birth. "The infant mortal-
ity in eighteen cities of the Prov-
ince to a casual observer cleanly
indicates that there is an unwar-
rantable waste of child life in mane
of them," he said. "It is the cry
of the babies. It is a plea for the
education of the parents in all that
pertains to infant life. It is the
great opportunity for health de-
partments to carry on exploration
Work at the public cost, instead of
leaving it to philanthropy and
social organizations. It is essen-
tially a branch of municipal health
work and should be instituted and
carried on as much so as any work
now being done." Dr. Hodgetts
referred to the Dominion Govern-
ment's
overnwent s encouragement of the far-
mers by granting money for educa-
tion along agricultural lines, and:
he said: "The Government might.
devote a dollar or two each year
to the education of our people in
the intricate problems of propa-
gating the race, and the conserva-
tion of the lives of our babies,"
Dr. Hodgetts claimed that it was
as much a part of the work of the
Government to spend money on
educating the people on these lines
as to spend money on bringing men
and women into Canada.
Referring to the fact that in this
Province there • were 34,341 deaths
in 1911, Dr. Hodgetts said about 40
per cent. of them were preventable
14,000 lives which should have been
saved to the country were lost. He
calculated that each life was worth
$20,000 to the country, hence the
total loss in money was $40,000,000.
In Toronto no less than • 6,000
deaths had occurred, in 1911 that
were preventable, and this entailed
a loss from $6,000,000 to $10,000,-
000. Education was the great need,
the doctor claimed, to prevent such
waste in future.

IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
Police Graft Exposure Shakes Up
New York Police.
A despatch from New York says:
IThe trail of police graft upon. which
District Attorney Charles S. Whit-
man set out last summer is declared
by him on. Thursday to have
emerged from the thicket of minor
exposures to an open road leading
to men higher up. Through the re-
markable confession which Police
Captain Thomas W. Walsh made in
the presence of the District Afikar-
ney on. Wednesday night, which will
be repeated to the Grand Jury, in-
dictments will be sought against a
police inspector and others as al-
leged graft takers on a large scale.
If obtained these indictments will
be the most ianpo,rtaxnt develop-
ments in the exposure of the ."sys
tem" since the city was aroused to
the a3lia,nco of the police with
gambling and vice by the Rosenthal
murder.
TWO SWITCHMEN KILLED.
TORONTO CORRESPONDENCE
INTERESTING Bli'S OF GOSSIP FROM
THE QUEEN CIT1F,
The Late Or. Oeattle'Nesbitt-Toronto Has
Sonte Men Men -Workmen's compen-
sation -Passing of James Young,
Always delighting in life in dramatic
s tu ti ns, the spirit of
the late Beattie
Nesbitt must have foundsozue satisfee-
tion in the chain of circumstances which
found a climat: in his . death. In the
court room his lawyers pleading for the
quashing of ; the indictments against
him; at his bedside his doctors struggling
to retail; the breath of. life. The lawyers
gained their point, bat one short', hour
later Beattie Nesbitt, was dead.
Beattie Neebitt's hero in history was
Napoleon. His living rooms were filled
with pictures and bookspertaining to
the Emperor, and it is said that ho de.
veured every line of Napoleon litera-
ture he could And. No doubt this fact
explains why Nesbitt's' life was in some
striking respects (not excluding , the mis-
ery of later years) an imitation of Na-
poleon's.
Nesbitt was an organizer. He had the
restless energy and Imagination of the
promoter. He was resourceful. But it is
hardly correct to say that he was either
a very strong or a very great man,". Be
had the heart to resolve and the head to
contrive but he rarely had the hand to
execute, ..
Organized Ward Associations.
Re had left his mark on the political
life of Toronto. The Conservative Ward
Assoeiatione as they exist to -day are a
monument to his work. They are ex-
ceedingly, influential and effective in their
organization, a fact for which Nesbitt
must be thanked. Iiia original idea, it
is said, was to introduce an organization
that would be aseffective as Tammany,
but in this he was thwarted by what is
known as the silk-stocking element in the
party. However, he had no trouble in
being elected to the Legislature, where he
could have held his seat as long as he
wanted to. There was some disappoint-
ment among his friends when he was not
taken into the Whitney Cabinet which
was organized in 1905, and It was not long
afterward that he retired from the Leg-
islature to accept the Registrarship. This
was the Elba of his career. lie made his
last plunge into politics by running, for
the Mayor's Chair; but he .could not
carry the Conservative ' party ' with . him,
and he was defeated. At that time he
was President of the Farmers' Bank, and
it has been said in explanation of his ac-
tion in running for the Mayoralty that
his desire was to bring prestige to the
Bank. He calculated that as Mayor of
Toronto he could have got in England or
elsewhere all the capital necessary for
the new institution. .
His Physical Strength.
Many stories are told of his enormous
strength. Once single-handed he cleaned
up a crowd of lumber jacks who were
making trouble in a northern camp.
Again getting into an altercation with a
cab man on account of some trifling dam-
age that had been done to the sleigh in
which Nesbitt was riding, he bought the
outfit from the cabby for $25.00. and then
turned it upside down on the street.
He was an, active Orangeman. As a
young man he broke from his party in
the Dalton McCarthy days, but later was
instrumental in bringing N. Clarke Wal-'
lace and Sir Charles. Tupper together on
the same platform in Massey ;Hall. He
arranged for themto shake hands,, when
turning to the audience'he exclaimed,
"Is not that 'a great pair to draw to?"
He was an admirer, however, of the Ito.
man Catholic Church, and frequently said
that if he had been born a Roman Catho-
lic he would have become a Bishop.
Toronto's Rich Men.
No little interest has been evinced in
the list of twenty-three men whnAc-
cording to Hon. H. R. Emmerson, 'cotrol
practically all of the big business in the
country. Of the twenty-three named by
Mr. Emmereon, nine belong to Toronto.
Two of them, of course, are Sir William
Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann, 'the
twine of the Canadian Northern Railway
system, who have spent their lives in get-
ting public utility franchises of one sort
and another all over the world, turning
them into going concerns and making
tremendous profits in the process. It is
at present impossible to -compute how
much these two men are -worth. No
doubt they could not do so themselves.
It is generally admitted, however, that
their biggest coup has yet to come when
they; will put on the market the Stock
of the 0. N. R. corporation. . This trans-
continental line, now running into its
thousands of miles of trackage, has been
built entirely by the sale of bonds, the
stock remaining in the control of Mac.
kenzie and Mann personally. One of
these days this will have a value when
it will be put on the market, and the re-
turn to Mackenzie and Mann may be suf-
ficient to put them in a list of a dozen
of the wealthiest men in • the world.
The C. N. R. Croup..
Fatalities Occur in C. P. R. Fort
William Yards.
A. despatch from Fort, William
says twelve hours two fatal.
accidents ocettrr d in the Canadian
Pacific Railway yards here, both
victims, 'being switchmen, Chas,
Wm, Brock, twenty-nine years of
age, single. fell beneath a oar being
switched, shortly before midnight
on Tucscla,vi, and died ,from his
injuries ; while just before noon on
Wednesday James Henry Cunning-
ham, married, was thrown off the
refer footboard of a, loaontot' .e and
killed. '
Of the others named in the list, Mr.
Z. A. Lash, Mr. D. B. Hanna, Mr. Freder-
ick Nicholls:. and Sir Henry Pellatt are
more or less intimately associated with
Mackenzie and Mann corporations. Mr.
Lash is undoubtedly the ablest Corpora-
tion Counsel in Canada. Mr. D. B. Hanna
is Vice -President of the 0. N. It. and the
active force in its direct management,
Sir Henry Pellatt and Frederick Nicholls
are interested in many industrial under-
takings. A few years ago Sir Henry
Pellatt realized over a million dollars in
cold cash from his' sale of the control of
the Toronto Electric Light Co. Be ime
mediately proceeded to put a large por-
tion of this amount into a residence on
the hill, now nearing 'completion, which
is a marvel to all beholders.
Sir Edmund Osier and Mr. W. D. Mat-
thews representatives
thews are o
among the ' Canadian Pacific. Railway's
group of financiers, while the ninth man
on the list, Senator George A. C x,. is'
closely associated with the Grand Trunk
Pacific enterprises. While not competing.
in the spectacular achievements of Sir
William Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann,
Senator Oox is in many respects one of
the shrewdest financiers in Toronto or
in the country.

At the -Legislature.
There promises to be a hitch in the
Workmen's Compensation legislation, due
this gession,.over the question of whether.
clerks in stores and farmlaborers are
to be included in the provisions of the
Mt. The general principle in modern
Workmen's Compensation legislation is
that a fond is established to which cm.
players of labor contributor -and out of
this fund damages are paid to workmen
whenever accidents occur. industries are
graded according to the hazard, so that
the employers in hazardous occupations
have to pay more than those in less has-
ardone occupations. The workmen them-
selves contribute nothing anti the fund
is administered by the State,.
Theoretically', legislation of this kind
should apply to everybody, but it to
feared that representatives of rural con-
stituenothe will object if farm laborers
and store clerks are 'inoltxded. There is,
therefore a peeeibiiity 'that these claptes
will be dropped in the leg)Sl tion which
is to be recommended by Sir William
Meredith, the special coritlnleslvnor, wjro hie
been investigating the subject, and that
the labor unions whlclr have been agi-
toting g for the Act will not object, fearing
that if they did of they itwould jeopartliss,

HEIFER SELLS FOR $700.
Champion "Mischief F" Bought by
a Wisconsin Man..
A despatch . from Toronto says
"Mischief E," the pure Scotch
Shorthorn heifer that carried off
the grand championship for the
best beef animal in Canada at the
Guelph Winter Fair two months
ago, was on Wednesday sold by
auction for $700, which averages
something like fifty cents - per pound
live weight. "Mischief B'' was
bred by Messrs. W..R. Elliott &
Sons of Guelph, and after being
exhibited at the Winter Fair, was
sold to Mr. Robert. Miller of Stouff-
ville, who disposed of her on Wed-
nesday to Mr. Frank Harding of
Wankesha, Wisconsin. The Guelph
heifer brought -the highest price of
a string of sixty-five Shorthorns
which passed under the hammer at
the Union Stock Yards. Breeders
from all parts of Canada and the
United States to the number of
three htindred were present, and
bidding was fairly keen, though
hardly as spirited as in former
years. Clydesdale mares brought
as much as $1,010, and Percherons
as much as $980 each, at an auc-
tion held ,here ' on Tuesday. The
horses were bred by T. H. Hassard
of Markham, Ont.

Chest Colds, Wheezing
Cured Over Night
You Can Break Up Cold, Feel Fine
Next Morning, by Following_
the "Nerviline" Method.
Experience of a Trained Nurse.
Every mother knows how difficult it is
to get a young child to take a cough
mixture. ' Seldom will one help unless
given in large doses, and the result is
to completely upset the stomach and
make the child • sick.
Speaking of the promptest cure for
chest troubles and children's colds, Nurse
Carrington says: "In all my experience
in nursing I haven't met any prepara-
tion so dependable as Nerviline. It .is
the ideal liniment. Every drop you rub
on is absorbed quickly, sinks through
the pores to the congested muscles, eases,
relieves andcures quickly. Especially . for
chest 'colds, pain in the side, stiff neck,
earache, toothache, I have found Nervi-
line invaluable. In treating the minor
ills of children Nerviline has no equal.
I think Nerviline should be in every
home."
Hundreds of thousands of battles of
Nerviline used every year -proof that it
is the ideal liniment for the home. Re-
fuse anything your dealer may offer in-
stead of Nerviline. Large family size
bottles, 60o., trial size, 26o. All dealers,
