A despatch from Paris saysz-A serum for the prevention of fcrot and mouth disease has been, discovered by aeremiesion of French. (experts, but st ye impossible at the present time to Manufacture the 'serum 1 sufficient quantities to inoculate •all cattle against the plague. The commission is composed of Professors Roux, No- ited, Caree and Vallee, which was formed at the request of Parliament, and will submit its 'report to the Min- istry of Agriculture shortly. Atte-xitiin is now being given to hi - creasing the production of the eerum, of which there is only enough to in- oculate the prize cattle and valuable animals of the world. Prof. Vallee, who is attached to the Alfort Governmental Agriculture/ School Laboratory, discussing the dis- ease, said that the microbe was in- visible under the microscope, it being so infinitesimal that it passes through poreelaine filters, which have hereto- fore retained all known micrebes. The virus used in the manufacture of the serum can be obtained only from the diseased parts of affected animals, namely, the mouth and feet, and thus very small cmantities are available. 3,000 TORONTO FAMILIES ASSISTED Increase of 100 Cases Per Day Since Beginning of Year. A despatch from Toronto says. - More than 3,000 fanailies are now re- ceiving assistance from the city. The exact figures issued on Thursday morning by the Department of Medi- cal Health, through officials in charge ef the relief *ark, were 3,007, and in order to save the herring har- during the day there were added to vest from putrefaction. The famine is due to the mild Winter and a dearth of a local supply. Iceland is sharing with other parts of the world unusual and abnormal Winter weather conditions. Ice Famine Prevails in Iceland Educate Ontario's Youth. A despatch from London says : -For the first tine on record an anomalous situation is reported -there is an ice famine in Ice- lan,d.

While families are being stricken fromthe lists daily, when the head secures employment, it has been found the daily increase since the begin- ning of the year of fresh cas.e.s has 'not been less than 100.

ILEn HEMORRHOIDS 'cl214''' ARE CAUSED ne CONSV ATION. There are few complaints more common than hemorrhoide, commonly called piles, and scarcelymay which. cause more trouble and misery. Piles are divided into three classes/ Lee itching, protruding and bleeding, and omenst in a fullness of blood and languid circulation in the portion of the lower bowel or rectum. The chief causes of piles are con- atipation, straining at stool, and the awing of drastic purgatives. This latter ere would very strongly advise against 4e these strong purgatives, eepecially those containing calomel and other mineral drugs are too strong for the average person's bowels.

THE CHEFS AND THE HUNGRY BOY NO EVIDENCE OF CANCER CURE Academy of Medicine Reports on Glover Serum. A despatch from Toronto says: -In the interim report of the ecial com- mittee 'appointed by the Council of the Academy of Medicine to report on the cancer serum of Dr. T. J. Glover, which was handed out en Thursday night,1 it is pointed out that there is no evi- dence to warrant the hope that a epe- cific cure for cancer has been dis- 'covered by Dr. Glover, or that any euro has ever been produced by the Glover serum in any disease which had been definitely established as cane! cer. After referring to the claims which have been advanced for the eerurn, and after referring to the his- tory of some eases, the report goes on, to state that in many cases .of cancer,' whether the disease was in either a• mild or an advanced stage, the pro- gress of the patient has been steadily downward in spite of the use of the Glover serum and that the course of the cases is apparently influenced by the use of this serum. The special committee also draw attention tothe fact that their work was greatly ONE PERSON KILLED, • SIX WOUNDED Mysterious Shooting Affair Near O'Connell ridge, in Dublin. A despatch from Dublin says: -A mysterious shooting affair occurred near the O'Connell Bridge in Dublin on. Thursday afternoon. A detach- ment of soldiers 'was stationed at this place, but it is declared the soldiers did not fire. Seven casualties resulted, one girl being killed, one boy probably mor- tally wounded and five other persons wounded. Witness say that a crowd had gathered to watch the soldiers stopping automobiles, and that it was when the military was leaving that a single shot was fired, which wrought the havoc. How the discharge of one rifle could have caused zo many casualties is not to be explained, but the shooting was witnessed by three British newspaper- men, one of whom declares he nar- rowly escaped the bullet. A civilian, James O'Reilly, asserts that he saw the shot fired from a lorry, but be- lieves it to have been accidental. "Alter the shot was fired," added O'Reilly, "I saw a Corporal in the lorry go up to each soldier and feel his rifle, apparently to ascertain whether the barrel was warm._I-seee him nod ;when 'heetele-theteiffe of the 'Winona' man on the left of the driner."

A volley was fired into their lorry from both sides of the road. , A sergeant and one constable were killed. The attacking party escaped. A despatch from Belfast eayse-A postman from Crossreaglere, South . • • Rearing as Vieroy. Those who seconded the efforts of Lord needing as the Lord Chief dins dee of England and special Ambas- sador to the United States to bring about the best of good will betweee the English-speaking peoples will wish him well an his new office as Viceroy of India. That the position, with all its glory and its historic prestige and the gorgeousness of the purple East, of the "land of Ormus and the Incl." is no bed of roses no one knows better than Lord Reading, If Ireland be e," preleero to England, there are thote inside.of India and outside who would make India the Ireland of the East and pursue the same uncompromising course to feet that "pacific revolution" without which they claim there 'can be neither happiness nor stability for the people or the country. "Indiau unrest" may not seem to be so 'startling a phrase in these days, when unrest is the common lot of nations everywhere, as it was ten years ago. But the un- rest in India has all that peculiar racial and fanatical quality which makes reasonable diecussion almost impossible; and any sympathetic effort on the part of bhe most enlightened of the Anglo-Indian officials to meet it is an extremely difficult thing. Yet, while any prophecy in the face of a fanaticism which has attempted to arouse the Mohanneederie of India against the English on account of their overthrow of Turkey, as well as to keep the Hindus in a continual state of "civil obedience," would be folly, at last accounts, according to Valentine Chiron an expert on Indian affairs, a turn for the better has taken place. This was evidenced, in that the most fanatical of all these who have stood for "India for the Indians," Mr. Gandy, who is revered as a Hindu saint as well as a political leader, has shown! signs recently of not !being so sure of securing home rule in a year by stir- ring up the whole country to a flat refusal to pay any attention to British rule or to fulfill their civil or political obligations to the Indian Government. However, thissupposed reaction against Gandaisin, which has a touch of compromise in it, may not last long. Lord Reading will probably find 'that' he has his work cut eut for him in' India if he as to overcome the preach- ing of Mr. Gandy. Kea- the saint is against all western civilization, and would go .back to the primitive ways of prehistoric India through the simple process of having every one give up and refuse to live up to all the mod-: ernisms, social and sanitary, that have come to India as a result of Brieislid rule.

The idea, of course, is that the- jury, viewing , the average child as incapable of sound judgment at tender years will ,-feel sympathetic toward a clasification of the accused as one who has been found by experts to have an intelligence rating not above that of a child of twelve. The obfuscation is further ac- aantuated by a large appeal to the literature of the draft accompanied by the clatter as to those who are „above or below the level of mental defectives. But, as a matter of fact, there is no- thing in the statement that particular adults have the mind of a child of twelve or that such a condition would relieve them of full moral and legal - responsibility for all their acts. There is not the slightest element of dispel.- , agement in an intelligence -test classi- , fication that gives A or B the rating of a child mind, since, as all teachers, and psychologists know, the mental! ability of a child of twelve possesses all those potentials and 'endowments that -maturity may direct but cannot change. A child of twelve of normal intelligence as a capable individual, fully able to observe, learn and reflect and to distinguish between right and wrong; and many a boy or girl at this age has been, and millions, are to -day, the very best assets of any family.

Measles are generally followecl by au acute attack on the mucous membranes.

Increase Ontario's Educational Facilities. In any consideration of the.problem of higher education which is to come before the Legislature at its next session the fact must not be over- looked that Ontario, the banner prov- ince of the, Dominion, cannot be con- tent with educational frrilities in- ferior to those of the United States. 'Compare,. educationally, the Prov- ince of Ontario with the State of Michigan. Michigan's population is about three-quarters of a million larger than Ontario's. Its total art- nual budget is about $28 000,000; On- tario's is about $21,000,000. Of' that budget Michigan -Spends 38 per cent. en educatitn while Ontario spends :only 20 per cent, of its budget.
