': This statement was made by one of the. Medical Officers of Health during a discussion- on diphtheria at the recent meeting of the Ontario Health Offi- cers' Association. Several reasons were given, for the high mortality from diphtheria, one of which was the lack of; knowledge on the part, of the public to diagnose •the disease. The public must be educated so, that they will realize the danger of a "sore throat" which might be a mild case of, diphtheria, and also the means of spreading the disease throughout the ',community. An ex- ample ofthis kind was given by one of the 11M.O,H's. HIe was called to a house as the mother thought that one of the children had croup, but on ex- amination the boy was found to be. suffering from a severe attack of diph- theria. The boy died the next day. There were two other children in the family, and on examination it was found that the older bay was recover - Ing from a mild "attack` of diphtheria, without the. family knowing he had even had it, while the little girl aged two years who •looked very pale and ill was, also suffering from .diphtheria. This ease, however, was taken in time ES SLEEP If You Are. Tired Out When .you Arise � .

Every sore throat is possibly danger- ous—it may be diphtheria aha it may not.

Other and more remarkable insur- ance policies, hotvever, have been is- sued within recent months.' A surprise was occasioned. in London who -en; it be- came known' that a prominent com- puny had granted a parley to one pian insuring against the suicide of an- other who owed him looney. When Mme. Cecile Sorel, the famous actress of the Comedic Francaise, sailed for America, she took with her the fervent •benedictions of the under writers and a unique insurance policy. The policy, would ;have gained: one million francs ,far her had she 'lost her •hat during the .crossing! Mme: Cecile's hat was a wonderful creation studded with diamonds and emeralds. Lloyd's granted the policy only on con- dition that when tble hat was not be- ing worn it should be kept under guard.

Cholera Infantum is one et the- fatal ailments of 'childhood. It is a' trouble that comes an suddenly, especially' during the summer menthe•, and unless prompt action is taken the little .one may scop be beyond aid. Baby's Own Tablets are an ideal' mecidcine in ward- ing off this trouble. They regulate the bowels and sweeten the stomach and thus prevent' all the dreaded summer complaints:, They are an absolutely safe medicine, being guaranteed by a government' analyst to contain no opiates or narcotics, or -other harmful drugs. They cannot possibly do harm -they always' do good.

There are, incredible as it may seem, 'sugars that cost from $75 to $375;"'a pound. There are sugars for which such prices are asked,' and which 'peo- ple buy. Tlie most expensive of them is called dulcitol, and brings $375 a 1 pound. By comparison the other sugars seem cheap. Mannose, for example, costs only $140 a pound. Mannose is Made from the scraps•. that are left over In the making of vegetable Ivory buttons. Another sugar, mannite, is, made from manna, the- nutritive gum with which the children of Isr-ae1 were fed in the wilderness. Manna farms in little flakelike scales which the wind blows into the air and carries to: the ground some distance away. It has the delicate taste of a sweet wafer. Still another of the sugars, called. xylose, 3s made from corncobs, and is, priced at $12-0 a"pound. The costliness of these sugars, is the result of the excessive care that must be exercised in making them, for the presence' in them of any impurity or of any other kind of sugar unfits them for the important uses to which they are put. 1. . a has bacteriological 1 boratory h s them.

"Armored glass,"' so called because it contains a netting of galvanized wire and is not easily broken into srnall•piecea, is too heavy -and''too nearly opaque for most uses. There is a glass of comparatively re- cent invention called `rthree ply." Al- though it is neither flexible nor un- breakable,' it has certain advantages over other kinds. It is composed of two -panes of glass, with a than sheet of transparent celluloid pressed be- tween ,them and made to adhere by hydraulic pressure.
