MIDDLETON provincial Board of Health, Ontario Middleton Health, Jim ill be glad to answer questions on Public Healta. tem through this column, Address him, at Spadina House, Spadins reeeent, Toronto, . About `one-third of the way between Halifax and Yarmouth, in. the beauti- ful "land, of Evangeline" protected from both north and south by ranges of parallel hills, lies the pretty little town of Kentville, surrounded by apple orchards. Just north of the town on a strip of rising ground is. located the Provincial Sanitorium for Consump Iii company with Dr. P. J. Moloney and Dr. George Clinton, Ontario ,Dis- trict Officers of Health, I recently paid .a visit to Kentville Saniteriuui while at St. John, N.B.; attending The con- gress of the Canadian Public Health Association. Our' visit to - this .insti, tution was well worthwhile and gave us a very clear conception of,what Nova Scotia, is doing to combat- the "great white plague."... The problem of combating tuber- culosis is a national problem, and the efforts of each province is of partic- ular interest to every part of the Do- minion. In Nova Scotia the'work is well in hand. Dr.' A. F. Miller, the Superintendent at Kentville Sanitor- iurn, has -a staff of over 100, including four physicians and twenty-two nurs- es. Everything is being done there that can be done in the interest of the patients. Kentville was selected` as the most suitable site for this institution for several reasons, among which are ab- sence of fog, early spring, less rain- fall than in most other parts of the province,' and a . comparatively dry at- mosphere, the dryness being accentu- ated by the sandy, porous soil on which the s'anitorium is built. The north range of hills protects :Kentville from the fogs that so often develop in the Bay of Fundy, some ten' or twelve miles away. It is only for about one week in, the middle of July that the weather gets uncomfortably hot, and the rest of the summer being usually several degrees cooler than more in- land districts. The buildings are located on a hill- side at a moderate height above sea level, and are of the separate pavilion type, with an infirmary for the more: serious cases. The main feetur'ee of these pavilions is as it should be, the -sleeping porches, where' the patients` spend most of `their time day and night. In the infirmary are rooms. that can be used for sleeping in when the weather is cold or severe, There is also a well-equipped laboratory, and: an operating room. I The X-ray department is the pride of the place, but important work IS also being done through. heliptberapy, and gas treatment for diseased spots on the lung, It is recognized, however, that in the treatment' of tuberculosis medicines are little'more than palli- atives, The sufferer needs fresh air, sun- shine, nourishing food, rest, and graded exercises, walking being the most beneficial. To these must be added'. recreation, amusements and, sometimes, occupation, in order to de- velop and maintain a cheerful,_hope- ful attitude and a contented mind. These features are all in evidence at Kentville Sanitorium, There is vocational building where work sue as wood carving, basket weaving, etc. are carried on and there is a recrea tion building with billiard tables barber shop, canteen, even a Y.M.C,A secretary. Entertainment is provided by the sanitorium's own orchestra and by moving picture shows. The pictures are all selected and of real educational value.' And to 'be up-to-date in the latest form of entertainment there is being installed a wireless concert re- ceiving station, the gift of the Knights of Columbus. The' power station not only lights and heats the institution, but lights the town of Kentville as well. `Protec- tion from fire is afforded by a system and equiprrient including a watertank of 50,000 gallons' capacity. The grounds of the sanitorium include 32 acres and the annual cost of upkeep: of the whole institution is approxi- mately $290,000. Money spent for a better or,more praiseworthy object cannot be imagined. The effort,' of the Province of Nova Scotia to care for tuberculous patients are' worthy of the highest commendation.° a h Canadians Start Tree Planting. Throughout Canada the greatest ac- tivity and c-tivity"and entlbiusiaem • has prevailed this year in regardto forest tree plant- ing, It is safe to . ay that mare .'trees have been planted in the spring of .1922 than iu any previous spring in the his: tory of Canada. In the eastern .pro - vines and on the 'prairies, the cities, towns, and villages have planted trees by the thousand along the streets, and in the parks, and where provincial highways ,have been oonstruoted trees have been .planted ° along these under a systematized plan These are all shade and ornamental trees and they are planted for aesthetic rather than economic reasons. At the same time on the prairies, especially the planting of trees in urban centres helps along the movement in rural districts. But the movement has not ended there. In addition to the five or six million trees sent out by the Indian Head and Sas- katoon Dominion... forest nursery sta- tions- to farmers to plant shelter -belts all over the prairies and those sent out for like purposes and to restore wood - lots from the Ontario and Quebec - nursery stations at St. Williams and Berthiervilte, respectively, there has been a much larger planting and seed- ing of purely. forest trees, than ever before: The Dominion Government Forestry Branch. has planted trees at Petawawa, .Ontario, forest experiment station and on a number of its forest reserves in the Prairie' Provinces .to a total number of about 150,000; several of the big pulp and lumber companies have done considerable planting, and there has been "a forward movement in the tuunicipaL forest "plantations -en Quebec and Ontario. Inµ the latter pro- vince the scheme of county and town- ship forests' devised last year was put into ' active operation. In Sinicoe county the first tree in the county for- est plot of one thousand acres, near Camp Borden, was planted by tthe,War- den with appropriate ceremonies. It is expected the whole plot will be planted in ten years. In the same county two townships and one village planted plots of ten acres each, a:nd in Norfolk county twenty thousand seedlings as a beginning were planted on the municipal forest. Other town- ships set up trees and the counties of York, Ontario, and•Durham, are laying out nurseries and getting ready to start next year.

The teller of a bank in a Texas town; was tryfng hard. to be polite to a very trying woman at Ms window.. "I. am sorry to trouble you, madam," he said, "but you will have to be identi- fied." And he pushed the,check across' the slab toward her .as' he spoke. "Idrenntified?" repeated the woman. "What does that mean? isn't the check goad?" The bank man did not smile, for this was th_ethirtieth time he had, been asked the qustion that, day. "I have no doubt that it is," •he"said,` "but I don't knowy D y u, k w . o o no anybody in the bank?" "Why, I am Mrs, Waters? exclaim- ed the waren. "Didn't you see my name on the check. See—here it is." , The teller shook hishead wearily. • . "You must be identified," he insisted. "You must -.bring somebody who knows.you." The lady drew herself up. "That check," she said with; dignity, "was given me by •my husband. There's his name on it. Do you know him?" "I do; but I don't know you." "Then, I'll show you who I am. My husband is a tall man with reddish hair. His face is smooth -shaved. He has a mole on one cheek and looks something like a horse, some people say, but I don't think so. When he talks he twists his mouth to one side, and one of hos front teeth ins missing. He wears a No. 17 collar, a No. 9 sihoe. and won't keep • his coat buttoned. He's the hardest man to get money out of you ever saw it took me three days to get this. check." The teller waved this hand. "I guess it's all right," he said. "Put your name right there—no, on the .back, not on the face."

Changing the thickness of the roof may not seem like a particularly handy way to keep the temperature of the house uniform. Certainly' no one would, think of doing it in that way in this country. But in the Arctic "shaving ,off the roof" is the regular thing. .Mr, Vilhjalmur Stefausson, the polar explorer, 'explains in his book, The Friendly ,Arctic, just how the Es- kimo' .dees'it. 1f, says Mr. Stefansson, the snow house we were camping in. was built at fifty degrees below zero, each block in the wall was then of that tempera- ture and Contained what we may un- scientifically speak of as a great deal of "latent cold," To neutralize the cold' it was necessary to keep the inside of the house fpr a considerable timeat a temperature of perhaps. 60 deg. F. Snow is so nearly a nonconductor et., heat that, once the "latent cold" has been ineutralized, the heat of our bodies kept • the temperature well above the freezing point, even when the hole in the roof was open for venti- lation. Bat if the weather became a little warmer than it was wihen we made catnip, the heat of our bodies or the , heat from the fire .would raise the temperature too htigh, and the roof would begin to melt. Then we sent a. mane out with a knife to shave it any- where trona four to two'indhes thinner so that the cold from outside Would penetrate the snow blocks and stop the thawing. It the next day the weather tizrned cold again, hoarfrostwould form on the roof and drop as snowflakes on the bed. We evo•tld knoW then that the roof was to thin and send a yuan out to blanket it with eat snow. n Betty's' Version.
