Canadian Medical Association. Dr. C.
J 0. Hastings of Toronto, in a paper
on the importance of pure milk, read
bef.)re the sect:on on public health, de-
clared that impure milk was primarily
responsible for Ilse loss of 15,000 of the
30.000 children who deo ormually In
Canada. Ile strongly urged a more
stringent inspection of the milk supply,
in every municipality, and ile enrpliasis-

a new canal. In reply to Mr. Lances -
ter, Mr. Graham said he was prepared
to say Ural if we were to c•rrry ntte own

Welland ('anal would have to be deepen -

would reduce the number of locks 75

definitely, he thought the cost would ap-
proximate $25,070.000 (.r $30,000,000.
There were udvantages in the new canal
