IMMENSE SUMS EXPENDED No Mutter How Long the War Lasts, Ile Declares, British Credit Will Stand the Terrific Strain Un- der SIF hick It Has Been Placed -Compares This With Past Wars. pRIDE and satisfaction have been caused throughout Great Britain by the state- went made in the House of Commons last week by the Rt, Hon. Reginald. McKenna, Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, regarding the financial condition of the cotul- try, and his declaration that no mat- ter how long the war may last, Eng- land will be able to maintain her credit to the end. The importance of such a state- ment at the end of two yearn of a gigantic struggle, in which money plays not the least important part, cannot be over-estimated, it is felt here, and special value, therefore, attaches to the following interview with the Chancellor of the Exche- quer, who enlarges and complete* the survey which he presented” to Parliament, Chancellor McKenna began by IV - calling the facts of Great Britaffi» financial mobilization. He said. "It is by comparison with the pact that we can best realize the magna - CHANCELLOR McKENNA. tude of the problem with which Great Britain is faced to -day, as you know our present expenditure is .at the rate of about $25,000,000 a day, or about $9,125,000,000 a year. All that was spent by us during the many years of revolutionary and Na- poleonic wars would not suffice for Six months of the present struggle, "Our last war in the South African campaign cost us $1,250,000,000 and lasted two and one-half years. To -day this sum would be used up in less than two morths, "The American Civil War was par- ticularly costly, but the $3,330,000,- 000 3,330,000;000 which historians say was spent by the Northern States during those four years is equal to little more than four months of our present ex- penditure. "We have kept the seas of the world open for ourselves and our allies. We closed them to our enemies. Our army, so small as to be Oiought negligibleat the beginning of the war, has,been expanded in less than two years. into. a force compet- ing in size and equipment with those vast continental armies which had taken generations to build up. "We converted industrial England into one great naval and military workshop. It is due to say that without the patriotism and self-sacri- fice of those who are fighting and working for us finance alone would have been helpless; but, on the other hand, without the support of our wealth, even this unparalleled out- burst of enthusiasm could have ac- complished little. Our army is fight- ing overseas, and . as a result its maintenance is far more costly than that of any other. Our industrial organization was less designed for war purposes than that of any other of the great belligerents, and its con- version has been . relatively more costly; nor have our financial re- sources been used for ourselves alone. Our allies have looked to us for help, and we have gladly given it, but this is no light service, for we are making loans to them and to our owndominions at a rate exceeding a million pounds a day. When you remember that our na- tional expenditure before the war had just reached a figure of '$1,000,- 000,000 a year, you will realize the enormous revolution ' that must be taking- place in the life of every in- dividual when the nation wag' asked to meet ten times this sum. It bee involved a mobilization of finan- cial resources not only unequaled bug Hitherto unimagined in historyby any country. It has been a'British tradition to meet the cost of war as far as possible by taaxtion, and we maintained t.' at policy even in this unprecedented struggle.

McCULLOUGH, M.D., D.P.H., CHIMP OFFICER ee _; OF TAF PROVINCIAL BOARD OF HEALTH. e. ee BEFORE GOING to a place for your summer vacation it is well to `•e sure that the water -supply is not likely to give you or the in ,n- bers of your family typhoid fever. Get a sterilized bottle f: -"n the Provincial Board of Health Laboratory at No. 5 Qu^en's Park, and have the water examined. If you have a cottage of your own, take particular care that the contents of your water -closet is screened against the entrance of flies which may carry disease td your family or the families of your neighbors. Besides, if you take these precautions, you will have a right to demand that your neighbors take like precautions. If you use a closet, be particularly careful that its contents do THF SUMMER not get to any source of water supply. RESORT If there is a good supply of sand near your cottage it is a cheap and simple matter to instal a system of sub- surface sewage disposal. The Provincial Board of Health will supply you with a pamphlet telling all about how to establish a plant of this kind. If there is no sand or gravel the safest system to use is a closet with buckets, using dry earth or ashes to cover the excreta each time of. using. Have close -fitting lids to the closet holes and a screen door to keep out the flies. It is a good plan to get your doctor to incculate you against typhoid and paratyphoid fevers. If you are not satisfied that the drinking water is pure, c -they get a safe supply or boil all water used aoout your place. * * * Some of the doctors are complaining because the Registrar General is prosecuting them for not reporting births. Well, they cannot complain that they have not bad warning. For years doctors and parents have been repeatedly warned that they must obey the law regarding noti i mtion and registration of births. Some few of the doctors say they BIRTH should be paid for this service. In the opi 'on of the REGISTRATION writer they should NOT be paid for doing what is a plain duty, and for obeying the law. Any phy,ician who does not thick enough of his patient to register the birth of her baby dogs not deserve to have the baby's mother for a patient any longer. The Gov- ernment demands that physicians shall forthwith notify the Derision Re- gistrar of the birth of a baby at Which they attend. The Division Registrar will provide post -card forms for this purpose. These are carried post free. The neglect of the doctor does not relieve the parent or householder where the birth occurs. They too are supplied with post-free cards for this pur- pose. It is the duty of the Division Registrar if these returns are not promptly made to him to get after botch parents and doctors and obtain the information. If it is not supplied to him promptly he should u'tify the Registrar General, giving the names and dates. The Department will do the rest. * e * These=are the three Most comtson means by which diseases are spread from one, person to another, .How ean, these means of contagion be pre- vented' Fingers must be kept ¢ut of the sources of disease. Children must learn not to put their fingers into their noses or mouths„ FINGERS, if the hands, as they #apariably do, become dirty they must be FOOD, washed before each meal., Dirty fingers may carry infection to FLIES toys, pencils, etc„ often used in common by children, and to cups, spoons, and other table utensils which may be used by other members of the family. In the large concentration camps one of the important measures taken to prevent the_ spread of disease among the men is to have all the food utensils, such as cups, plates, knives, forks, etc. boiled after each meal. Boiling is a convenient and certain means of de- stroying disease germs. HOW TO KEEP WELL e e,... Food and water carry many diseases, the; termer because it is often exposed to dirty fingers an.d.,to ,Ifiie02; the latter because sewage containing the discharges of human „bodies -is ,allowed to get to the source of supply, be it spring,;: river, well, tor• lake. Such a food as milk' may be WATER handled 'by people who are nursing typhoid, diphtheria, or scarlet fever patients and thus be the path whereby these dis- eases are transmitted to others . Or the milk may be the product of cows affected with tuberculosis ' This 'is the cause of the greatest proportion of tuberculosis in children lif,whaMeitl erten lies dormant until the age of. 15, or 20 years..
