The regular 'meeting of ' the ' A. Y.
P. A. of St James' church was 1131('
on 'Tuesday week when Dr, Il. W.
Bill, director of the Institute of Pub
ire' 'Health, London, gave a most in
teresting and instructive lecture on,
."Germs and the prevcnt'on set In-
fectious . Diseases." Dr. Mill said
rtlat the problem of Public health had
been solved, that men have learned
how to preserve health.. I'he •' old
idea was that disease arose from furs
healthy environment but this,- the
,speaker declared, was entirely wrong,
for disease comes by germs only,
Disease germs do not breed
in garbage, decaying matter, etc, but
tlurish only in the human l;ody, for
they require moisture, warmth and
darkness, all of which the Truman.
body provides. In general diseases
germs die when they leave the body,
for sunlight and air are fatal to
then. The speaker then explained the
carrying of infectious diseases and
the methods to use in guard'ng a•
gainst infection. At the close of
the lecture Dr. I-Iill kindly answered
several questions asked by members
of the audience and a. hearty vote of
thanks was tendered hint for his
kindness in favoring the yotng pee
pies' society with a visit.

The Candling of Eggs.
As regards quality, an egg is one of
the most clilifcult of food products to
grade. Fortunately an egg is semi-
transparent ohm held before the
light and permits, if earefelly rotat-
ed, of even minor defects being seen.
Itleny appliances for commercial and
private use have been invented for
the detection of bad eggs, and it,
is now possible for anyone with a lit-
tle practise to tell at a glance the
nta'n points between good and bad
eggs.
In order to teach the proper meth-
odsc
of examination, there has been
prepared under the direction of the
Live Stock Commissioner, a pamph-
let entitled "T he Candling of Eggs"
by Mr. W. A. Brown, B,S.A., Chief
of the Poultry Division. This pamph-
let, which M No, 3 or the Live
Stock Division, points out clearly`.
that the size of the air cell, the
consistency of the alba/nett, the' color
and_mol•3ility of the yolk, and the
general transparency of the whole egg
are the factors most generally recog-
nized as determining the quality. It
also explains the construction of a
simple hone -made device which; gives
excellent satisfaction in the testing
of eggs.
The pamphlet, which can be secur-
ed by making application to the Pub-
lications Branch, Department of Ag-
riculture, Ottawa, concluded with
the following paragraph : "Store-
keepers will find it to their advantage
to acquire facility in candling and it is
recommended .that every housewife
iv
should
provide p o ds herself with
a simple candling appliasnle
by the diligent use of which
she ;may safeguard iter fatuity from.
many unpleasant occurrences .at the
breakfast table. ,

Paper on Prohibition, No. 10
An encouraging feature of our en-
deavour to throw light upon tke vex-
ed question of how best to regulate
the liquor traffic is the marked ab-
sence of any reply to our statements
or arguments. It is true that there
have been a few letters it the County
press making a feeble pretense at ans-
wering our papers ; some, we regret
to say, containing statements utterly
devoid of truth, and apparently de -
voided of truth M order to try to'
bring our association into contetnpt,
but no effectual, tangible, refutation
has been made of anything we have
hitherto published. A pian Has aper-
fect right to think that a prohil;itory
law is better than license law, but
THINKING, SO, and SAYING S0,
will NEVER MAKE IT SO.
We hear a great deal ahoat nearly
all the crimes; under heaven, being
traceable to drink. It is so easy to
make sweeping .statement's when la-
bouring under the concentrated fer-
vour of momentary high pressured ex-
citement of pulpited exuberance ! But.
the truth is that a large portion of
crimes attributed to drink, are so
charged on account of the cowardice
inherent M 99 percent. of criminals ;
who, willing to blame anyone or any-
thing but themselves, when asked
for the reason of their downfall, or
what is frequently the case, wishing
to escape, the punishment due 'their
sin, and to obtain pity in the eyes
of the judge on the bench—whine out
"Your honour, it's all along o' the
drink" 1 And in this way, one of
the many blessings God gave to His
creatures, has, to be made the scape-
goat of crimes in -timetable, Let us
look as sone, independent statistics.
OUT OF 671 convicts sent to Vir-
ginia State Prison in the year 1910,
72 were intemperate drinkers, 252
were moderate drinkers, and 350, or
52 PER CENT were TOTAI, AB-
STAINERS. From this return it is
TOTALABSTIN-
ENCE
shown that ABSN-
I
ENCE PRODIUCEtS far MORE CRIM-
INALITY THAN. INTEMPERATE
DRINKING ! And yet, prohibition-
ists lose themselves in raptui'otls pro-
phetic utterances when they attempt
to describe the millinial conditions of
morality, truthfulness, honesty, love
charity and affluence that, will sur-
round us; if we will only place the
country under prohibition.
