HER HEARING RESTORED Astonishing Deliverance of Woman Thought to be hopelessly Deaf. New York Special, --Fully con- vinced that her hearing has been permwnenntly restored after years of torture with head noises and al- most total deafness, Mrs. B. A, Barry of 555 W. 170th street, N.Y. City, has now been persuaded to tell the story of her wonderful de- liverance. After having spent hundreds of dollars on mechanical devices, me- dicines and doctors' fees, she de- cided that this latest discovery, however simple and inexpensive, should be the last she would try before resigning herself to the hopelessness of permanent and total deafness. Those interested in Mrs. Barry's eltse and the hope it holds out for them; may write to her in confidence for full details, which she offers to send gratuit- ously. 8,000 FIREMEN TO STRIKE. Fifty-four U. S. Railways Involved in Big Labor Dispute. A despatch from New York says: The committee of managers of -the eastern railroads announced.. ozs.. Friday night that their firemen had voted almost unanimously to strike. A statement signed by Chairman Elisha Lee for the committee says: "Ad -vices received by the eastern railroads indicate that the 30,000 firemen almost to a man have vot- ed "yes" on the proposition to strike and tie-up over 52,000 miles of railroads, rather than accept the offer of the companies to arbi- trate through a commission of dis- interested men of sufficient num- bers adequately to consider the magnitude of the questions at issue, If the firemen announce that as a result of their strike vote 'their committee will call out the men, the railroads will, of course, take steps immediately to prepare for the operation of trains under strike conditions. The companies feel, however, that such a catastrophe should, in the public interest, be prevented at all hazards." g SON OF THE KING. Prince Albert Arrives at the Island of St. Lucia.

Hodgetts, medical adviser to the Conservation Corn mission, Ottawa, addressed the chief officials and inspectors of the civic, department of health in the City Hall on Wednesday on "Con- scivation of Life." r. Hodgetts cited figures to show that infant mortality in Ontario is at the rate of 195 deaths per 1,000 population. By infant mortality he meant the death of babies w'thin a year from their birth. "The infant mortal- ity in eighteen cities of tho Prov- ince to a casual observer clearly indicates that there is an unwar- rantable waste of child life in man, of them," he said. "It is the cry of the babies. It is a, p19a for the education of the parent's in all that pertains to infant life. It is the great opportunity for health de- partments to carry on exploration work at the public cost, Instead of leaving it to philanthropy and social organizations, It is essen- tially a branch of municipal health work and ,should be instituted and carried on as much so as any work no., being done." Dr. Hodgetts referred to the Dominion Govern- ment's encouragement of the far- mers by granting money for educa- tion along agricultural lines, and he said: "The Government might devote a dollar or two each year to the education of our people in the intricate problems of propa- gating the race, and the conserva- tion of the lives of our babies." Dr. Hodgetts claimed that it was as much a part of the work of the -Government to spend money on educating the people on these lines as to spend money on bringing men and women into Canada. Referring to the fact that in this Province there were 34,341 deaths in 1911, Dr Hodietts said abol 40 per cent. of t rein •i sae r veiitabie 14,000 lives which should have been saved to the country were lost. He calculated that each life was worth $20,000 to the country, hence the total loss in money was $40,000,000. In Toronto no less than 6,000 deaths had occurred in 1911 that were preventable, and this entailed a loss from $6,000,000 to $10,000,- 000. Education was the great need, the doctor claimed, to prevent such waste . in future, TIE NEWS NI A PARAGRAPH Fi4(�Prt;*i"l tix+1 TR011i Au, OVEll TIlE GrO114 IN A N U'I'SII I',LL.
