Ile had a few close friends and was most faithful perhaps to the least de- serving. There was a curious- relationship between Butler and his elan servant Alfred.

MITDDLETON Provinolai• Board of 'Health, Ontario•. ee. 1iddioton will be ®lad to answer questions eu Public Healthweb. tele; through this column. Addrese him se Sipadinam House, Spadiva Cookout, Toronto, Hese do communicable or infectious d ceases spread? That is a question tI at puzzles the lay mind, and rightly so, for the question is one of great importance. Next comes the problem of preventing 'tine spread. of com- raiinicable diseases, a matter of even greater importance. Most of the coin- nninieable diseases ate spread by.di- rect contact and by direct infection, that is by transference of the infec- tion from ' one individual to another. Di', Paul Gerhard 'says that in the prevention and ccutrol.of outbreaks, the whole municipal machinery (health, police, city engineering and public traffic departments) should hold in readiness well -considered pre- ventive measures, The extent, and nature of •these necessarily depend upon the character of the, community. A sural district or a small town ob- viously demand -a somewhat different treatment 1111111 a metropolis. In all important mesures efforts are con- centrated along the following lines: (a) The prevention of droplet infec- tion by sneezing, coughing, spitting, hand -shaking,, etc. Such droplets are scattered about to a distance of sev- eral fact, and every drop may carry the germ. (b) The control of sputum, the avoidance of hand contamination and the contamination of oath -1g and drinking utensils (dishes, glasses, r cups, spoons, etc.). (c) Efficient organization, providing for the gath- ering of facts regarding cases and mortality, and preparing "pin maps" both of cases of illness and of deaths; studying the collected data, requiring notification by physicians, sending sanitary inspectors' to follow up the cases reported, making a house-to- house inspection of the entire city. (d) Carefu) instruction of the general public, of teachers in schools, of fore- men in factories, of superintendents of large department stores, of the- atrical managers, etc., in nose and mouth hygiene by means of bulletins, pamphlets and popularly written lit- erature. (e) Prompt destruction of all infections matter; warning against a careless disposal of nasal dis- charges. Equally important administrative control measures to be taken at the first outbreak of en epidemic are: the isolation of the sick, the provision of a sufficient number of hospital beds; the avoidance of crowded gath- erings, and the efficient warming (in winter) and ventilation of homes, of- fices, stores, workshops and means of communication. These are general 'considerations which are necessary before the more specific measures which have to be taken when an outbreak does occur.

Sufferers from- what medical, men speak of as nervous debility find them- selves tired, In orose, low-spirited and unable to keep their minds on any- thing. Any sudden noise hurts like a blow. They are full of groundless fears and cannot sleep et night. Their hands tremble, the legs feel as if they will give away following a walk Or any exertion, and the mind is .greatly disturbed by the most trivial incidents. Doctoring the' nerves with poison- ous sedatives is a terrible mistake. The only real nerve tonic is a good supply of rich, red blood. To secure this new, rich blood use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills which have a direct action on the blood and through it stimulate every nerve and organ in the body. Mrs. Alpheus Merritt, Fenwick, Ont., gives her experience with this need!. cine as follows:—"I had - a nervous breakdownandwas in the Welland County Hospital for some time. As I was not improving my husband took me out and took -nee up to my moth- er's. I doctored there but It did not help me. Then I returned home, and was again under a doctor's care, but with no better results. I would trem- ble and 'get numb all over, and the. least noise would affect me. I was quite unable to do my housework and was in a terrible condition. Finally I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Piles and am thankful that I did se, as Lifter taking about a dozen boxes I was again a healthy woman. I have used the pills since while nursing my baby, with equally good results, and I strongly advise other ailing women to try them," You can get these pills through any dealer in --medicine, as by 'mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. xt ttl Slight Reduction In Sight. est High -Salaried Man -"They say they're going to reduce the tax on only the part of a -man's income that's earned.' 2nd Ditto—"Grea.t Gosh!

You have Made a good job of that turban for Mrs. Willes, my dear. Now take this part of your week's pay and run away home;' And she put the small roll of bills into the girl's hand. Adelle saw et a glance that the bills amounted to the whole of hex weekly wage. She looked up, puzzled, "You have paid nee all you owe for the week!" she protested, - The little milliner laughed. "Maybe so," she agreed, "but not all in that bit of money.

Yet from another point of view he is overpaid in money, for the worker who isn't so much in love with his workthat he does it better every day and gets a large measure of satisfaction out of it is.a poor work- man.
