Meat will soon be a luxury possible only to the rich, if it goes on soaring in price. It was the producer and not the middleman that profited in this case.

On August 1st, the Emperor, Francis Joseph of Austria had ruled sixty- three years, seyen months and twen- ty-nine days. It is true, Louis XIV was King for seventy-two years, but as he was only five years old when he became king, he can scarcely be credit- ed with ruling, as the two above- mentioned did. Francis Joseph, like Queen Victoria, has a warm place in the affections of hie people. * * * -County Judge Johnston of Pres- cott has given a new judgment, and its effect, if sustained, will be to make the indemnity of members of Parlia- ment assessable as salary, Judge Widdifleld of Durham, however, bas held that the indemnity of a provin- cial member was non -assessable, and says the point is one which would be, settled by a stated case to the Court of Appeal by legislature. The judgment of Judge Johnston creates a precedent. In the case referred to, air. Proulx, M. P., was assessed on an income of $3000. being $2 500 indemnity and $500 from other sources, less $000 exemption as householder. * * * -The third political party has been successfully launched on the turbulent sea of American politics, and has been named "The Progressive Party." For the information of our young readers, we may say that the old Republican party is designated in picture or car- toon by an elephant, the Democratic party by a donkey, and the Progres- sive party by a moose, hence the term "bull moose" applied to Roosebelt. This somewhat boisterous politician has been nominated by the Progres- sive party as their candidate with (Governor Johnston of California as candidate for Vice -President. With three Presidential candidates, Taft, Wilson, and Roosevelt, there will be Some noise in this election, as well as excitement.

The wide powers conferred by On- tario's new Health Act of last session are now going to be exercised in the suppression of tuberculosis, the mak- ing of more stringent quarantine regulations, and in supporting com- pulsory vaccination. Regulations has% just been formulated and are being promulgated by the Provincial Board of Health. They take effect immediately. Every physician is compelled to notify the health authori- ties of every case of tuberculosis that comes under his care within twelve hour after its diagnosis. This regula- tion applies to every superintendent or person in charge of a hospital where a case of consumption occurs, A,record must be kept of each case, and weekly reports upon it must be made to the Provincial Board of Elealth. Upon notification of each case of tuberculosis the provincial authorities will forward to each pati- ent and those living with him instruc- tions concerning what precautions should be taken, and also instructions based upon the latest and best scienti- fic and medical research for the treat- ment of the case. Either the Provin- cial Board of Health or the local medical officer of health may order the patient removed to a hospital or sanatorium if they deem it due to the protection of the health of the im- mediate community, and the patient is required to remain there until such time as the officer of health deems it safe for him to return home. In the case of indigents it is provided that the expense shall be met by the municipality, and, in the case of a patient with no permanent place of abode, by the municipality Whose medical health officer sends hirn to the institution. In unorganized dis- tricts of the province the Provincial Board will undertake this duty and pay for the maintenance out of a fund to be voted by the Legislature. t:in.r,s WANTED to work in Biseuit "•d Candy Factory.
