Since children are the ones veho drink the most milk, bovine tub- erculosis is found more among them than among adults. Moller, for ex- ample, saki that among 2,043 adulta with tuberculosis, only two per cent. were of the bovine tyre, mostly of the abdomen and glands. Only half of one per cent. of. all bovine tuber- culosiie is of the lungs. However, eighteen per cent. of a group of chil- dren who died of tuberculosis were found to have been infested with the bovine bacillus. Probably eight per tent. of all the tuberculosis deaths are due to bovine diseases. Under five years of age bovine ba- cilli are ,supposed to be responsible for sixty-one per cent. of tuberculosis of glande, fifty-eight per cent. of ab- dominal tuberculosis, sixty-six per tentof generalized tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis, twenty-seven per oentof tubeeculosis of bone", and joints. One authority says that ninety per cent. of the .glandular form in Edinburgh is of bovine origin. Morevaver, in the ease of beth cows and humans the disease des not al- ways manifest itself where the germs ' get in. Otherwise, all bovine tuber- eulosis would be likely to be in the tggestive tract. Children who drink ethe milk of tuaerculans coves may :nave no trouble there nut may show he disease in 'remote pants of the body, as in the knee, the hip, the spine c and the lungs. - • t ; Although children do not always p die from bovine tuberculosis, if they b ecover, they are likely to be either t sfigared er crippled. 1 t The ease is an animal vee ordinarily] a ecintneler friendly and harmless.

Milk that conies to big cities tften travels a great distance. It is some- times twenty-four hours old when de- livered at the door. Milk that is old, or has been allowed to be warm in transit is likely to have several times as many germs as that which is fresh and has been kept cold. Geed milk in- spectors take no chances for there is no better food on which to feed germs han milk. As a matter of safeguarding health, even with the best inspection milk for babies should be pasteurized. This is done by heating the milk to one hundred and forty-five degrees Fahr- enheit and allowing it to remain at that temperature for twenty minutes. Rarely is the meat of tuberculosis cattle sold in this country:, for we have rigid laws condemning these ani- mals for food. Other aninial products, however, such as butter and cheese, may contain germs. It is milk espe- cially which must be most carefully inspected for that is the food of our babies and children, the future men and women of our country. Tile Drainage vs, Surface Drainage. It is doubtful if the benefits accru- ing from tile drainage as compared with surface drainage are as widely recognized as they might be. At one of the Illustratiot Stations conducted under the Dominion Experimental Farm system, the two methods are being thoroughly tried out. Two fem- ., rotations are baing carried on, one on land which A fairly well tile - drain -ed, the other on land adjoining with good average surface drainage, bath soils being. similar.' Banner oats have been sown in each nistarice,, the results being a yield of 55, 'bushels per acre on the tile-datained land at a est of 36% cents per busbel, and on he surface -drained land 21 'bushels er acre at a cost of 74% cents per Liebe], If eold at one dollar per bushel inn would mean that the profit from he tile -drained land was $34,70 per ere against cnly $5.30 from the un rained land. ei 1110 pt s at 4,3,,l 11 Ace lee the tarn eeery human effort MUSA be peeial from Jenaary 1 to October 20: 10.:1„ and in 1920, are here given:: Montreal, 1021, castle 55,Sen aravce; nncanf, hg. 123 n14, eheep 13te08il ; 1020, mink. 72,23, calves 114,' hoes 111.302, eheep 137,123, luny to, W21, cattle 250,192. cainee; n9n31, hogs 224.041. sheep 195,4; , 1920, cattle 234,374, ealves horni'‘in"ri'l.ipgr., '191427 118,297.attl 100,612,! ealvee 14,053, hogs, 80,307, sheep 313-1 401; 1920, cattle 178,00, calves 10,-1 41" lams 11 !'O1 3r 82.

In you have no supervised playground work in town, let that be urged another time. Show pictures, moving or stationary, of children at play, pictures and diagrams of home- made apparatus, a demonstration of simple games. In time, play will be taught in every school.

Best of mu, the lawn will be full of live, healthy citstnens, big and little, to make the most of living, about the scales continually weighing themselves and each other, measuring by the "doorpost and ruler" method, and eomparing their height and weight with standard tables. Several teachers began to take interest in these "before -school" clinics, and gave advice as to foods and exercise to those who wanted to correct their weight. Interest in hygiene rose auto- matically. The children were eager to be "really examined," and suggestions from the nurse were taken seriously and followed cheerfully. . Health Exhibits at Fairs. People are always interested in in- formation that concerns themselves; that is why fortune-telling flouriehes. Adults, too, would welcoine a chance to adjust their weights to the- normal Often a little information will want wonders, but it is well to begin on the public as young as poseible, for children are the greatest information gatherers and spreaders. There are no better opportunities for presenting health movements than at 'the eounty fairs, local field days, home -coming celebrations, civic ex- hibitions or, in small .places, at thurch and fratemal occasions. _ A "What Simuld You Weigh?" ex- hibit, consisting ef scales', measuring standard, and a big chart of Corres- ponding heights and weights, for men women and children, is all that is neeessary.

This most dramatic incident in all the life of St. Paul ilbistretes the value of a cheerful eorifidence in a time of crisis, We have all manner of prophecies about the prospects of civilization and the Christian muse. Cassandra& announce blue ruin. We do well to hear across the storm the steady veice of the great apostle, "Wherefore, sirs, be a good cheer?' Pessimism will get us nowhere. 0,ptime ism, subject to common sense, will get us somewhere,—to where the surg-e of this troubled hour shall cease. roll. The seceet of all this cheerful con- fidence is mostly faith. "I know whom. I have believed, and am persuade that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." Faith and hope are the parents of the Christian courage. THE CHILDREN'S HOUR We are greatly in need of heroes and heroines. I mean, the every -day, or what ,carn be called the home and garden variety. The special, or war varieties, are well known and we give them medals and all kinds of honors and rewards. The every -day heroes and heroines are the boys and girls who do the things no one else wants to dee and they do them without grumbling and growling. We are all familiar to -day with the variety of humans who alw•aye "let George do it."

How eften, we want to use a word and when, it comes to ,spellirg it, we are just plain stuck. This is whose the dictionary cornes,in.
