It is understood the cessation of employment contracts with the forty- six officials named does not at all in- dicate any considerable number of re- tirements, but merely that the Com- mission intends taking stock of its man -power and salary lists.

There has been considerable pressure for this form of distribution, but the govern- ment is said to be definitely against it until such time as public opinion, in their belief, is ready for it. The ban will not, however, interefere with sale in the dining cars or steamships. These are said to be looked upon as "travelling hotels" and for that rea- son will be licensed, it is said, like all standard hotels, and high-grade clubs.

The bodies of the two little girls, Grace, aged 10, and Evelyn aged 7, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Merrill of Salem, were recov- ered from the river in about twelve feet of water.

A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA EATING UTENSILS The tastiest ways are the usual ways by which disease germs are passed from one person to another, Most of the disease germs which we, in Canada, have to combat leave the body hi the secretions of the nose and mouth. It is the transference of these germ -laden secretions which accounts for the spread of germ diseases, In the acts of coughing, sneezing and loud talking, particles of secre- tion,are thrown into the air, and any- one who is in the line of fire receives these particles, which, if they gain en- trance to the nose or nioutli of the person within reach of them, carry with them any germs which were in the nose or mouth of the individual emitting them. In the act of kissing, the transfer is more direct and more certain. During the summer, there are few- er colds and so fewer coughs and sneezes; people are out of doors more, which means that they run less chance of being near those who cough and sneeze or talk at close range. The result is that this manner of spread of disease germs is not found so fre- quently in summer as it is in winter. Another easy way for disease germs to be passed around is by the use of unsterilized eating utensils, This hap- pens even in the home, so it can be readily imaginedhow it can occur more easily in restaurants or at soda fountains where the same utensils are used by a number of patrons within a short space of time. What happens depends upon what is done to the eating utensils after each time they are used. If, after hav- ing been washed, they are placed in water that is hot enough to kill the germs, they are perfectly safe. If not, then the second user receives the se- cretions of the first which may con- tain disease germs. Paper cups and dishes which are used only once are, of course, safe. You can be satisfied as to your own safety if the restaurant and the soda fountain which you patronize are reg- ularly inspected by a health depart- 'ment which has the authority to re - !quire the sterilization of all eating - utensils and the sanitary preparation of foods. The task of health depart- Iments would be made easier and .the 'results would be better if the public ;would assist by demanding cleanliness. 'of their eating-plaecs. There is not the same amount of danger in the home because dishes dare not used by large numbers of peo- ple, and there is usually time for many of the germs to be destroyed, by dry--. ring, between meals. There is real dan- ger in the common drinking -cup its the home whether it be found in the: bathroom or at the kitchen -sink. ILook around your home. Is there a common drinking -glass in the bath -- room? If there is, how many colds do you think it has spread among the family? 1 Questions concerning Health, ad sociation, 184 Colege St.,- Toronto, will be answered personally by letter, Bill: "I hear you are: looking, foss work, Tom."
