their number increases as the
, ber of motor vehicles increases, In
addition to these, the automobile may
be the means of causing and -spread-
ing disease. Then too, considerable
danger is as''sociated with the inhala-
tion of noxious exhaust gases. Many
deaths have resulted from this cause.
Motorists Need Exercise
Tlie substitution of the automobile
for walking, even for short distances,
often means the ,reduction of physical
exertion to an unhealthful degree.
This avoidance of. physical exertion
is; as Chesley points out, too common
among those who lead sedentary lives.
These are: the yery people who
should seek exercise instead of avoid-
ing it.
Attention is also called to the heal-
th risks associated with touring. The
public. tourist camps may become
centers for the spread of disease
through impure water supplies. And
there may not be proper facilities for
the disposal of sewerage, garbage and
waste.
Typhoid fever is given as an exam-
ple of a disease that may be readily
spread by the motorist. It takes
about three weeks for this disease to
develop after one' 'becomes infected.
This. makes it possible for.one to be-
come infected at home and carry ty-
phoid to' several other places.
To make the automobile less da
serous to Life and health is not a sim
ple problem. It requires an under
standing. on the part of the individua
motorist that, these evils exist. An

HAY FEVER PREVENTION
By Dr. W. J. Scholes
Just what makes people susceptible
to hay fever is not definitely known.
Sometimes abnormal conditions of
the Iining membrane of the nose, de-
fects in the structure of tlfe nose, and
infections, seem to be to blame. Some
of the people affected are the victims
of an unhealthy nervous tendency
(neurosis).: Often the susceptibility.
seems to be present without any dis-
coverable cause.

MOTORISTS MUST CARRY LLC-
ENSES TO DRIVE IN 1926
On and after January 1st, of. next
year automobile drivers will be 're-
quired to carry operator's' licenses un-(
der a bill passed by the legislature.
Under the new system, offenses a-
gainst the highway traffic act will be
endorsed on the driving license and
the license may be suspended for any •
period not exceeding sixty days. The
terms and conditions under which lic-
enses will be issued are to be prescrib-
ed! by the lieutenant -governor in coun-
cil.
Drivers not in possession of oper
lor's licenses will be subject to hea-
y penalties. For the first offence a
ins of not less than $Io and not more
ban $5o will be imposed, and for the
econd offence the fine will be not less
han $20 and not more than $loo. For
ny subsequent violations the offender
i11 be Iiable to imprisonment for any
ern* not exceeding thirty days.
The' new system will be similar to
hat in force in England, where driv-
ing licenses have always been obligat-
ory. By licensing drivers it is possib-
le to keep a' much more careful check
on offenders as their violations can
be endorsed on the d'i i •
tor but we. were. afraid the little- fel-
low would lose too much blood before
the doctor came. We'put cloths oil
