Grain, though much damaged by rain, will give an average yield. Corn and hoed crops are later than usual, but give promise of splendid crops. Peaches, pluone, apples and vegetables are splendid, In Waterloo county, the grain is practically all harvested; wheat is badly sprouted and barley is discoloured. Potatoes and turnips are spoiled by wet weath- er. Second crops of clover and alfalfa look fine. Ontario county: Alt grain crops flattened by heavy rain storms on August the 4th. The harvest will be over in a few days, if weather is fine the damage will not be serious; corn and roots are good; potatoes are rooting; apples are a poor crop, In Eastern Ontario the rainfall during August was the heaviest for 23 years amounting to over 7 inches. The grain is practically all cut, but is not yet all in. Having been too much exposed to rain it is badly coloured, especially oats. The aftermath of hay is good, and pastures are in excellent condition.• MANITOBA, Brandon - Although crops were late at the beginning of August they were ripened quickly by hot dry weather and cutting cons. menced at average time and was completed without delay. Threshing is in full swing at the end of the month, yield and quality are both good. Severe frosts on August 23 and 25 were too late to injure grain but killed corn and tender garden trope. SASKATCHEWAN, Indian Head - Weather during the month has been favourable for the crops, 80 p. c. o . which are now in stock. Threshing has commenced at several points. Lloydminster: No damage by frost, grain somewhat tangled owing to winds, but of fine quality; harvesting general; .potatoes and roots fine. lindersley: (,~rain ripened rapidly, and harvesting is well advanced; a little threshing has been done and wheat should yield 25 to 40 bushels and oats 75 to 100 bushels per acre. Fl ax is a good average crop. Ideal weather prevails. Rosthern: Condi- tions very dry, one degree of frost on the 25th injured potatoes, corn and tender vegetables in some parts; but no grain was injured. Harvesting nearly completed; operations slightly delayed through shortage of twine. Scott Station: Weather ideal for har- vesting. Frost on the 23rd. left cereal crop uninjured. Cutting is well ad- vanced; binder twine has been ex- pressed to overcome shortage and farmers are well supplied with help. Station plots of wheat threshed 37 to 54 bushels per acre. ALBERTA, Lacombe - Weather ideal; harvest 90 p.c. ripe, 05 p.c. cut and stacked. Samples better grade than usual, Quality of oats and barley good; yield heavy. Edmonton: Aug- ust fine and warm with more elec- tricaI storms than usual. A hailstorm on August 3 did considerable damage in some districts. Grain is all ripe; cutting general on August 18 and now well advanced, with continued favour- able weather bumper crops of grain and hoed crops are assured. Leth- bridge: Weather of August favour- able for ripening; grain cutting well advanced; over 50 p.c. of wheat cut in Southern Alberta; many districts 75 to 100 p.c. cut Threshing begun in some localities. The average yield of spring wheat in Southern Alberta will probably be 25 bushels per acre. In Southern Alterta the crop is from one half to two thirds, no frost yet, thresh- ing has started in a few districts. Rust has done considerable damage to late wheat, in some cases 25 p.c.' estimated yields of wheat 25 to 28, oats 05, barley 40 bushes per acre. Corn has made exceptionally good growth, potatoes will yield high, roots are very late.South-western Saskat- chewan from Maple Creek to Herbert about 00 per cent, cut.

MacD d, formerly. of Kinloss, Ont., now with the 33rd, Mounted Rifles, in England, writes an interesting letter to friends in London. He says: "England is very pretty at this time of the year with all Its green hedges. The fences are mostly hedges, some are thorns, some evergreen and some holly. They are grown full of morning glory and other kinde of flowers And also all kinds of berry bushes. We will have some good feeds on them when the berries are ripe. We haye some nice rides out into the country, but do not get enough of it as we have so much fatigue work and guard duty to do. Are there many soldiers in London now? This country is full of them. We are going out trench digging to -night, so I must hurry and get ready," (Signed) Alex. MacDiarmid,-London Free Press.

To -day sanitation has done much for the promulgation of human life and even to prolong the great war in Europe. To much can- not be said in favor of the introduc- tion of new hygienic principles, espe- cially when they have a tendency for the uplifting of the human body. Railway corporations, like municipal corporations, be they great or small, are constantly on the lookout for newer method? of sanitation. The European war, in which Canadian sol- diers are playing an important part, is teaching many important lessons for improved sanitary conditions. Iodine, for instance, alone has done a great deal and has been the means of sav- ing thousands of lives. When the Americans took over the building of the Panama Canal, fears were enter- tained as to its completion, but the introduction of a perfect system of sanitation enabled it to be completed. During recent yeare greai; strides have been made towards a perfect system of hygiene for the public, but there is still a great deal more to be done. The dirty, common drinking cups formerly used at the fountains in public squares have now, in many pro. gressive cities, been replaced by the bubbling fountain, which provides the man in the street with a sanitary drink of water. This system has only been recently adopted by the eastern cities, but in the West it has been in vogue for some time. When the lips touch the rim of a drinking cup a little saliva is invariably left there, which may contain disease germs, These will adhere to the lips of the next user of the cup. To obviate this the railways of the country and other institutions have adopted the system of individual paper cups, which imme- diately after use are destroyed. An- other step towards cleanliness. Then the disappearance of the common tow- el in most places have been replaced by the individual. Soap Is another im- portant germ carrier. Many hotels and railway companies, to say nothing of smaller concerns, have discarded the use of the common soap on this ac- count, and the individual soap has been instituted, while in other places the liquid, soap has been experimented with. It has been proved that the Iatter is not susceptible as a germ carrier and from a sanitary point of view is the best for use in the public toilet room. It is a question which has come under the severe fire of many critics, but the time is fast approach- ing when it will have reached the perfection point and become of univer- sal use. Speaking of the sanitation of railway cars, which is of as much importance as municipal sanitation, up-to'date companies take special pre- cautions to ensure the health of their travelling patrons, and in some cases at enormous cost employ a special department for the purpose, The de- sire to keep abreast of the develop- ment of sanitary science has resulted in the promulgation from time to time of various rules affecting service pro- cedures. It is often that these emanate from public authorities and sometimes from company officials. There are so many diseases which have to be guarded against where people congre- gate together, and the most communi- cable diseases are caused by minute invisible living plants, called bacteria. They grow in a,person's mouth, nose, throat, lungs, hair, or other parts of the body and cause sickness of various kinds, depending on the bacteria pre- sent. These little organisms are thrown out of the body of diseased persons in various ways, and the in- troduction of perfect sanitation is the only means to prevent the spread of these germs which cause human dis- ease. In order to do this, railway companies insist on certain regula- tions governing cleanliness. All care, whether sleepers, diners, first or second class, or immigration cars, are thor- oughly overhauled after a journey by a great army of cleaners; sweeping, mopping, dusting, brushing and fumi- gating being systematically carried Out. Even the ice used for the drink- ing water is handled with tongs, and the ice carried for the purpose in a spe- cial bucket. Sleeping cars and trains travelling to certain districts where there are known possibilities of germ carriers being in the vicinity receive special treatment immediately at the end of its destination. It would be invidious to attempt to set forth the details of cleaning which are carried out in connection with the high sten. dard of hygienic principles upheld by the railway to -day. But while all these new rules and regulations governing a better standard of hygieniem are being enforced, the common hair brush and comb still hold sway in high•elaes hotels and. on the railways, This is veer remarkable, especially in view of its germ.carrying proclivities. No matter how frequenty the brush and comb may be washed and disinfected, it is an utter impossibility to keep them free from carrying germs. T. der these circumstances it is astound. ing that the railway companies, who are usually to the forefront in matters of this ohitracter, have not disoon- tinned the use of the Common hair brush and comb from the hotels and sleeping care. Futherniore, every day the regular traveller is becoming more and more educated to the principles of hygiene, and nowadays he is beginning to realize that it is safer to Carry gne'e own necessaries, especially in this direction, 1!o that the abondonment of the brush or, tomb would not be very much inlseed. PREMIER BORDEN BRINGS MESSAGE FROM SOLDIERS" At the great welcome accorded Sir Robert Borden in Montreal an itis return from England, he gave to they people of Canada a message from our gallant soldiers at the front, "Even greater than this," said the Premier, "was my privilege of visit- ing the convalescent hospitals. There 1 met our gallant men who had come back from the very valley of the shadow of death. They had gone through as trying ordeals as have ever been recorded in the history of the world, but I found them alL cheerful, and all inspired with the same courageous determination as those others still at the front. It was an inspiration to me, and I felt, when I addressed a thousand convalescent Canadians that it was the noblest audience I'had ever faced. Altogether i visited 41 hospitals where Cana- dians were, and at these I net men from all parts of the Empire who had fought in France, Belgium, and the Dardanelles -the men who won fame, at Ypres, Festurbert, and Givenchy. They were from mafiy lands, but they were all comrades, who had fought and would fight again for the same cause. It was a spectacle that gave to me a truer sense of the unity of our Empire than I had ever had be- fore, and I come back to you now with a clear message of Empire from, them. "I bring from the front this mes- sage from our soldiers: that they have done their duty in the past, are', prepared to do it in the future, and' that no conclusion of the war will be satisfactory unless it brings to the, Empire, for all the sacrifices they, have made, the satisfaction of attain- ing the object fought for. Any nation that undertakes to establish! the doctrines of spoilation shall go down beneath the might and con- tempt of the world." MANY CONVALESCENT HOMES ARE OFFERED The following private homes, out of the large number which have been offered, have been accepted as mili- tary convalescent homes, and are in operation or will be in a few days: The home of Mrs. J. K. L. Ross, Syd-' ney, N.S.; the home of Mrs. R, B. Dobell, Quebec; the Khaki League Home, Montreal; a home furnished by the Imperial Order of Daughters of the Empire, Winnipeg; the home of Mrs. J. F. Ross, Toronto; the home of Mr, Hugh Macpherson, Kingston, and a home lent by Mrs. Parks at St. John, N.B. The com- mission anticipates receiving consid- erable assistance in the operation of4 the convalescent homes from those who are anxious to render some ser vice at this juncture. Voluntary aidy committees have been established in; the divisional area and military dis- tricts, and will organize crops of local i workers. -. Bluevale.
