What's In A Name If It's Influenzal
(Toronto News): -"This .epidemic
of Spanish influenza is just the same
as we always have it," said Dr Hast-
ings, Medical Health Officer, to -day_
It began in Spain so they call it Span-
ish because human nature likes sensa-
tion. It was the same when we had
the first epidenmic in '98. It start-
ed in Russia that time, so they called
it Russian Influenza. "It is no more
serious this time. In fact, the mor-
tality is less than in many other stint -
lar epidemics. People are frightened
because it is called Spanish."
Churches Asked to Co-operate.
The churches of the Province are to
be asked to co-operate in conserving
the available coal supplies. Fuel Con-
troller R. Hume Smith has already laid
before representative clergymen of all
denominations a suggestion ',that all
church services be curtailed and com-
bined in a way that will effect a saving
of fifty to sixty per cent. in the con-
sumption of. coal. The controller be-
lieves that two or three churches can
arrange to hold their services in the
one building, and that where union ser-
vices are not favored the congregations
can meet at different hours in the one
building.

school gardens. The reason for in-
effective schools lies In lack of public
sentiment, and the smallness of
