PREVENTION OF WHOOPING COUGH From studies made at the Con naught Laboratories and School of Hygiene, Toronto, one gains the view that whooping cough may be prevent ed by the timely use of a fresh strain Vaccine produced for this purpose. The study referred to was carried on for six years among groups of con trol and vaccinated children. Up to the present time 288 control and 1,007 vaccinated children have been follow ed. Of the former, 52 and the latter 97, were in contact with cases of cough. The number of cases in the first group were 43 and in the latter group 10, so that the respective per centages were 82 and 10. Of the 97 contacts in the vaccinated group there were 23 direct exposures to brothers and sisters with whooping cough. In the 23 instances the nature See handbills for complete list of destinations.

ROBIN HOOD FLOUR WINSAGAIN IN OPEN COMPETITION WITH ALL OTHER FLOURS AT CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION TORONTO TODAY FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, AND FOURTH PRIZES FOR WHITE BREAD WERE ALL WON BY ROBIN HOOD. / EVANGELINE ROBIN HOOD FLOUR MILLS LIMITED No Wonder They Call Robin Hood Flour “The Choice of Champions’! of the contact was intimate and con tinuous (often kissing, drinking from the same cup or sleeping in the same bed). None of the 23 developed the disease from their brothers and sis ters. This is very strong evidence of the protective value of the vaccine since one would not expect all of the 23 children continuously exposed to whooping cough to escape the dis ease, It will be noted that there were 82 cases of whooping cough in the con trol group and but ten in the vaccin ated children. This is another strong suggestion that the vaccine protects. Another fact, already referred to, is that while 52 control children coming in contact with .whooping cough, 43 contracted the disease giv ing a morbidity of 82 ppr cent, but 10 of 97 vaccinated children were in fected, giving a morbility of but 10 per cent in this group. The foregoing, added to one’s own experience in the use of whooping cough vaccine, indicates that this preventive remedy should be used in all cases where there is a threat of this disease. PLANT DISEASE STUDY In the development of certified seed potatoes, the Division of Plant Path ology, Dominion Department of Agri culture, has made an outstanding ac complishment in the control of virus diseases affecting that crop. The re cent fundamental research work in plant pathology on the nature and methods of distribution of. plant ver uses, paralleling those of animal vir uses, has opened a wide .field of ap plied research in the control of dis eases hitherto obscure or unrecogniz ed. Plant pathology is concerned with a host of important practical prob lems. Bacterial, fungous, and virus diseases of large and small fruits, vegetables, cereals, forest trees, shade trees, and ornamental plants, have been attacked with incalculable bene fit to agriculture. Virus diseases of large and small fruits, tobacco, and potatoes are the subject of intensive research in many countries.—Dr. J. M. Swaine, Director, Science Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture.
