Athanese David Provincial Secretary and Registrar, Province Quebec (Condensed from the Montreal Gazette) Some forty-three years ago tbe t•o vincial,Bureau of' Health was humbly started when the Prime Minister( .of the Province of Quebec placed:;'xhe sum of $5;000 a year at the disposal, of Dr. Persillier Lachapelle, so that he might do something to promote better knowledge of the elements of hygiene among our 9opuiation. ; Along with the cash, vent a reccim- :nenclation. The good doctor .was urged to make no noise about it and not to frighten people with too much publicity. This was a wise admoni- tion. -flow often it has been—and still is—said: "Our forefathers did not take so much care, and 'yet they lived to old age." How often did those Who carried on the work meet with what I have called, and still call, remains of paganism such as makes parents and others say at the death of a child: "One more little angel." A11 these and many other objections had to4 be appeased before the real work could be done, Muchreal work, however, has been done. Public opinion has been awakened, which, realizing the im- portance of preventive measures in protecting lives and health, does not object to seeing large amounts ,de- voted to these purposes. Year after year that original $5,000 was increased until by 1920 it had grown to $119,694, which was then considered to be quite a large amount for public health. Since 1920 more determined efforts', to increase public health activities have been made in the Province. The former Board was replaced by a,,.De- partment, and striking contrast is afforded in comparing the 1920 and 1930 budgets. For during the latter year, the amount devoted to public h,.alth work was $621,859. During these years of increasing public in- terest In public health, a tremendous campaign of education was first under- taken, directed principally against 'our two greatest scourges, tuberculosis and infante! mortality. Then actual institutions were opened to deal with these two problems. In 1923 but two Quebec cities had such organizations. That year monies were voted ' for the purpose and within three yea'is, twenty-one clinics. and dispensaries were at work. In 1926 a departure was made in the Domain of public health withahe creation throughout the Province of health centres. After the war,,,,the Rockefeller- Foundation in Trance created in Seine -Oise such a unit •'ivitll great success- Having obselv.G' "on the spot the work accomphshea;A thought the experiment well Ist'grth being tried in this, Province. A law 1. as passed to promote the creation in the rural areas of these centres, with the result that the work has pro- gressed with tremendous strides, and this is no exaggeration if anyone will compare the results with those in any other country. Inside four years twenty-nine rural counties consented to tax themselves at the rate of two, three or four cents per hundred dol- lars to collaborate with the Govern- ment in the establishment of these centres. This goodwill nn the part of our people has had immediate results in the establishment of twenty-threee centres covering the twenty-nine coun-, ties. These 23 units at present protect 767,062 • rllty-dwellers — or 47 per cent. of that entire portion of our population eligible for organization nailer. the Rural Sanitary 'Unit plan. Demands and requests before us lead us t) believe that within the next five years every rural part of the Province will be completely organized. One fact in this connection will, I believe, interest the public. It is that the great majority of the heads of the County Councils, which are composed of agriculturists, not only accepted the principle of imposing upon them- selves special taxation for the crea- tion of these units, but went further, giving therein a splendid example of citizenship, by increasing when needed the rate of their taxation, and this has been done without, to our knowl- edge, any complaint being matte in any part of the Province where the system exists. These organizations cost for the fisdal year of 1929-30 the sum of $246,951,07, and the results have been such that hygienists have come from Europe, from the United States and from all over Canada to inspect these units, and we should,..I think, be proud in saying it. The most recent visitor was the Director of Public Health of Greece. What have been the results, may'be,, asked? ,rust a few figures will show them. In the County of Beauce in 1926 infantile mortality was 121.5; in 1929 it was 87.7. Mortality through ! contagious diseases in 1925 was 84.4 in 1929 it was 55.3. In Telniscouata in.. 1926 infantile mortality was 134.2; is 1929 it was 98.7. Mortality through contagious diseases in 1926 was 124.5, in 1929 it was 21.6. In Nicolet In 1929 infantile mortality was 1.67.6, in 1929 it was 177.2. Mortality through con- tagious diseases. in 1926 was 69.0, :in 1929 it was 19.8. One more poi -fit, while I am on the subject, is the gra titous distribution through these ce1J- res of serums and "Vaccine.

Something quite new, I believe in Canada was instituted in the Province of Quebec in 1928. There has been functioning in France a system known as "I'Oeuvre Grancher," which con- sists in placing with healthy famaies in the country children menaced by contact with tuberculosis when living in infected surroundings. Experience shows that if children remain in con- tact with tubercular -affected persons, C.) per cent. of them will become pa- tients, and 40 per cent. of this 60 per cent. will die of the scourge. On the other hand, the proportion of victims of. tuberculosis among 01 'idren taken away from their unhealthful surround- ings is one per cent. It is, therefore, logical to believe that the greater the number of these children taken away, with the concent of parents, from surroundings that are a danger to them, the sooner will be checked the spread of the worst disease that b -day affects the Province of Quebec. There are two purposes achieved by this work. First, we combat tuber- culosis in its own entrenchments, sec- ondly, children taken away from the city and kept on the farm realizing what they have received from country Iife, will remain attached to the soil. Already one hundred of such children are located with healthy and devoted rural families. These facts will, I believe, convince the population of the Province of Que- bec that the Government has acknowl- edged as . political truth, as well as an economic truth, the words of Dis- raeli—often repeated, yet never too often—that "The first care of public health." We shall, therefore, continue the work, and deserve from those whom we represent the acknowledge- ment that we are trying to .t10 our duty: But let the people of Quebec, each and every one, understand that Fireproof Document Box wIIY Risic A SERIOUS LOSS when for only 515.75 you can secure coin - Pieta protection for insurance poli- cies, other valuable papers, Including privery, ate etc.corcorrespondence' Rivet!so fulll "wel- par- 1culars.

I consulted our druggist and he advised using Diamond Dyes. Everything came out beautifully; coats, wool dresses, stockings and a]]. I have since learned to appreciate the excellence of the black Diamond Dyes. I tried another black dye and the results were impossible. I had to get Diamond Dyes and do the work over. Recently I have tinted my curtains a beautiful raspberry shade and dyed a rug a lovely garnet with Diamond Dyes. They are real money savers—the finest dyes money can • buy—I truly believe.

FEE FROM PAIN This skipper of a steam trawler was " up against it." Ile had Rheumatism, and his doctor said he must not go to sea. But times were hard, and he was forced to go afloat again. That was two years ago. Now see what he says : " I go to sea and two years ago I was laid up for six months with very much suffering from rheumatism and general breakdown, and was forbidden by my doctor to go to sea, or to touch water. nut it was ' 1lobson's Choice' with me. There was so much unemploy- ment I was forced to get somewhere. So I am still here weathering the storms of the last: two hinters, and I can honestly say 1 have never felt the slightest pain from my old complaints, since I started two years ago to take Icruschen Salts. , I wish Kruschen every success. and you may make whatever use you think fit of this letter." --Skipper J. I. It is common knowledge that rheu- matism is associated with an excess of uric acid in the system. Uric acid is eomposed of needle-like crystals, and the pain df rllcaniaiism is caused by those "needles" settling down in the Mato, muscles and telidons. SE `.
