"Prevention is better than cure" is proverb, so often repeated, that ou familiarity with it almost breeds con tempt, but it is just as true as it is old and familiar, and in the matter o tuberculosis its importance obtains t a greater degree than in many othe connections, and prevention of tuber culosis means many things now often overlooked and neglected that ar within reach of us all, would be per haps going beyond the .mark, because some have had an environment from the day of their birth of such a charas ter as to make it impossible for them to know the difference between clean liners and the other sort of thing, But even such, if they can only be in- duced to think and observe, may make improvement in this important matter, Some learned men, whose name is just now forgotten, has given us a definition of the word dirt, as follows, "Dirt is matter out of place," and that holds good. A thousand illustrations of the truth of it will at once occur to every thoughtful mind. Matter or things out of plane usually mean un - neatness and unneatness usually means dirt, and dirt certainly means disease, and particularly tubercular disease, and in order to prevention of tuber- culosis we should invariably have neatness and cleanliness. Lack of cleanliness frequently be- comes a propagator of flies, and flies being bearers of disease germs, are a prolific source of tubercular infection. One writer, speaking of the behavior of the fly, has this to say, "He visits the open closet, the garbage heap, and the manure pilo. He visits also the kitchen, the dining room and the restaurant, and brings with him filth from the unsavory places and things formerly visited. He walks on the butter, wipes his feet on the bread, bathes in the milk, dines on the sugar and may infect them all with disease germs." In view of such an array of unpleasant things pertaining to him, we should keep the fly out of our houses, and absence of the fly from our homes means prevention of tubercular and other germ diseases. Disinfection of dishes, used by the consumptive should never be over- looked or neglected. As to a means of such disinfection, it may be said that the highest authorities advise that if dishes are washed in thoroughly boiling water, with soap, the disin- fection of them is practically perfect. In case we know, or even suspect, that one taking a meal with a consumptive, care should be exercised that there be no failure to disinfect with boiling water and soap, all the table utensils that he may have used. The tubercular cow has been the sub- ject of much discussion for years past; and upon the matter of the cow, or the milk from the cow, becoming a means of infection, prominent doctors have differed. The late Professor Koch, renowned throughout the whole wide world, would have it that Bovine tuberculosis, that is tuberculosis as it exists in the cow, was a different thing altogether from tuberculosis as we find it in the human being, and he would have it, that the germ as we find it in the cow could not inspect the human being. Others prominent in the medical and scientific .world took the contrary ground. To determine the fact, however investigation and experimentation have gone on at great cost of time and money, and the con- clusion invariably arrived at has been that the milk of the tuberculous cow becomes frequently a means of tuber- cular infection, especially of little children. Care as to the purity and cleanliness of milk supply will prove a preventative of tuberculosis, Lack of ventilation is a promoter of pulmunory tuberculosis, and since that is a fact, good ventilation is a preven- tive enquiry may be made as to the manner in which lack of ventilation actually promotes tuberculosis. It may be asked -""Does lack of ventila- tion create the tubercle -bacillus ?" and the answer is "No it does not create the germ," How then does lack of ventilation promote tuberculosis? And the answer is, that it lowers and lessens the vitality, that it actually re- duces the health and strength of the body to resist germ infection; that lack of ventilation actually impairs and destroys the safe -guards that na. tura provides against infection by germs, The fact then being thus es- tablished that lack of 'ventilation pro- motes, then good ventilation prevents, and may therefore be counted as one of the most potent means of preven. tion of tuberculor disease, The means of ventilation in our houses is, of course, the open window, and therefore let the rale be "never sleep a night in a room without an open window," The references above made to the things we are brought into contract with every day as promoters of tuber- culosis may awaken in some good people an undue fear of tubercular in - lotion, Some people having learned ers to of such dangers Which they are ex- posed, go wild, almost hysterical with fear. This fact is in accordance with the proverb ---"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Such hysterical fear is now Itself often referred to as a disease to which has been given a very appropriate name --- Phthlseophobia, which word, interpreted, means, a madness of fear about Phthisic. Those afflicted with such a malady should be advised of the safe -guards that nature provides against all mob dangers, and further, that so long ae the general health and strength ere up to the pro- per level, these safe -guards will eon.- tinne to do their work, and we sea tolerably. fres from germ Menne Letter From South Africa, Pleasant it was certainly after 1 got settled on the Victorian, She Is a a most comfortable boat to travel by ✓ and I found all the officials very • obliging, I was probably better off than some as sea sickness did not get f around to my cabin until we got too. o. far out and then it misses it altogether. ✓ We arrived in Liverpool on the Sun. - day morning and there everything was in order for the passengers going up e to London. • S.'ou have to go a long way to beat good old England. in the way they do things. You are met and every attention given and given in such a way that the good spirits have been there before you and had everything arranged for your coming. The run from Liverpool to London was just delightful, of course the weather was perfect. I am sorry the weather plays such pranks in England otherwise it would be a garden of Eden to live in. Our ocean voyage from Southampton to Cape Town is very fine. It is much pleasanter than crossing from America to England probably because it is longer and the people have a better chance of becoming acquainted, and I have met on those long voyages some very charmiug people indeed, I am not alluding to the fair sex only. Each day as we steam along, is spent in all sorts of games that can be played on the deck of a ship or on the table of the smoking room and then almost every night there is a little impromptu dance culminating in a grand fancy dress ball into which the spirit of en- joyment seems to enter unhindered and every person enjoys helping to make someone else enjoy him or her- self. Three grand concerts were given on this voyage out, in which the theatri cal artists (of whom there were quite a number) took part freely and gave us of their beet and unstintedly, At the present time we are passing through one of the most serious strikes of the age. Serious because it effects everytrade as theAmalgamatedSociety of Trade Union has taken the matter up. It commenced by a strike on one of the mines and has now extended more rapidly then yellow fever and two days ago they came into conflict with the police and military who were only doeing their duty by keeping order. A couple of them were shot. and the next day orders were issued to fire on the crowd if they did not dis- perse or showed signs of wrecking buildings. Of course they had overpowered some of the police and set fire to the railway station which was destroyed and one man burnt inside the cloak room, also the Star printing works and many other smaller acts of law- lessness were commited. The soldiers lay fiat on the streets and needless to say if you could get around the corner in less then no time you were there although quite a number were shot, some killed outright and a great many wounded badly. It had the whole- some effect of quieting things down and bringing reason to bear. A couple of women were among the number shot. Why women (who were very conspicuous in this strike) will go into these things is past my comprehension. Chas, Anderson.

THE WING -HAM ADVANCE W.,...._,, w.,.,,�_-.-. ,..., ....... Improvement Of Human Race. IN WAGES Cranbroak, Mrs, Menzies is visiting friends in i� "Eugenics" is a word that is making frequent appearances in contemporary publications. It is a melancholy com- ment upon our civilization that, up to the present time, more attention has been paid to the improvement of breeds of cattle and horses than to what should be the most important of all sciences, the improvement of the human race. A great deal of discus- sion has been aroused in the United States by the publication of the hie - tory of one family that in the course of several generations has contributed some hundreds to the asylum popula- tion of that country. When such glaring cases are brought to our at- tention we are all properly shocked and disposed to agree that something should be done. To achieve desirable results a long course of popular education is neceeary. This must necessarily start with our young unmarried men. For In spite of the great enlargement of the field of female activity it is still believed that the proposal of marriage should be made by the man. Every man in love or about to be should ask himself if the objeot of his great and lasting affection is likely to be the healthy mother of healthy children, both physical and mental, provided of course that he is satisfied of his own fitness for matrimony. No- one believes that under the strictest inaquiable regimen could all sickness be banished from the earth hut much needless misery and suffering might be prevented. The ancient Greeks in this, as in many other matters, entertained views worthy of our respect. Their stand- ards of female beauty differed materi- ally from ours. They demanded ro- bustness, not small waists, a free swinging walk, not high heels, and the ruddy glow of health not pale cheeke. Among the many problems con- fronting the student of Eugenics is the question of the intermarriage of relatives. It is generally held that if there be any family taint, sttch as a tendency to consumption or insanity, cousins should not marry as the pre- disposition is likely to be intensified in their children. On the other hand, if the family tendencies are good, no harm may result. The Darwin family is one example of this last. The cele- brated naturalist married his cousin, the daughter of Josiah Wedgewood, the potter, and their sons are men of the first intellectual rank. To meet the requirements of Eugenics 'Punch's' famous advice to those about to marry may be:enlarged into -Don't -choose an unsound mate.

A Scotsman and an Englishman were engaged in a heated argument, in the midst of which the Englishman said -"Can you tell me why a Scots- man who comes to London is like a ship that is lost ?" The Scotsman gave it up. "Well," said the Euglishman, "he never returns." "Oh," said Sandy, "can you tell me the difference between an Englishman and an escape of gas ?" After some thought the Englishman had to confess he could not. "Well," said Sandy, "neither can 1," "Mamma, I just now fell down -stairs and hit the steps all the way down 1" exclaimed little Mary, who attends the Christian Science Sunday School.
