ters through this column. Address; him at Spadina House, Spading),
Crescent, Toronto. "
In view of the trexnendous advances
made in public health work in .this
province during the wast decade it is
interesting to recall; What- was being
done prior to.19j2, and how the Pro-
vincial Board of Health, though at
that time handicapped by lack of
funds,.
was ,nevertheless s'chele:;s carrying on
an active campaign in many fields of
public health 'activity. Here is an in-
teresting .account of the work, taken
from'the•Canadian Magazine of Nov-
ember, 1912. `
"Advanced indeed have been the
steps in,the last seven years for the
protection of public health. Milk, that

Milk Commission h

arising from unclean dairying ` and
careless handling of milk. The recom-
mendations of the Commission are em-
bodied in one of the most progressive
statutes of any State. The consumer
now receives a supply measuring up to
a strength, and delivered as carefully
as testing and inspection can ensure.
Rivers and streams are no longer
allowed to be polluted with sewage.
Tuberculosis is now classed as a ,com-
municable disease, and every medical
man is compelled to. notify the local
and provincial officers o.f health of
all cases of communicable disease com-
ing under his care. Vaccination' is
compulsory when in the opinion of the
authorities public health is menaced.

The province has
been divided

charge of a medical officer with ample
power to carry out•the law.' He owes

-is, therefore, beyond local influence.
The sanitary campaign is -being waged
dilligently, Travelling • exhibits . show

The baby is an, object' -of T3.0 small

irate that is an economic loss. Infant
mortality is about' twenty-eight per

cer of Health for Ontario, who is as-'
sisted in thisparticular branch of the

ing diligently carried on, that the

Don't forget that good blankets are
an essential part of year camp equip-

the hottest season, are generally cool.

little drawback "to the problem—
it will work only if your friend is
elder than you are.
Subtract your age from 99. Let
your friend mentally add the re-
mainder to his age. Then he is
to take away the first figure of the
total and add it mentally to the
last figure and tell you the result.
If you will add the number, he
gives you to., your age you will

For example: Suppose you are
18. Subtract that from 99. That
leaves 81. Askyour friend to add

The Belgian artisan spends his lei-

special cock for crowing, and the bird
that can outcrow its fellows has reach-
ed the highest pinnacle of perfect'' -on.
The plan adopted Is to place the
cages containing the roosters' in a long
row, as proximity creates the spirit of
emulation without which the proceed-
ings would fail flat.
A marker appointed by the organ-
izers of the show le told off for each
bird, his duty being to note carefully
the number of crows for which, it is
responsible. The customary duration
of the mr tch is one hour, the winner
being the cock which scores tire high-
