A merry wNr.has been going en in a certain Tomato 'day for sometime as to the relative superiority of men and women. I am not just sure what started it, I did net read the first let- ters, but a lot of good white paper has been wasted and a lot of good ink shed in a vein endeavor to prove the ease at issue. I say a vain endeavor, because no matter what may be said on either side the party of the other part remains unconvinced. If any man has made up wihat he calls his mind that women are infeniior, (and in view of the way some men are brought up and ,the way some women act it is not surprising that they do), why you cannot change him and it is a wlaste of time to try. What 1 have noticed is that the most intelligent and far-seeing of men are the most likely to admit women to an equal it.y. I'm not so sure that either is superior to the other. Men are sup- erior in some things and far inferior in others, and women the sante. Then do a great many ways men and wont- men are very much alike; Match more alike than most people imaging. Then reactions are very- similar, ex- cept that the difference in their training and in their work has made a difference. For some years now the differ- ences have been disappearing and similarities are being recognized, as - women have begun to take more interest in things which used to be left entirely few men to manage. Personally, I believe that when men and women learn to work together, each taking their own share of responsibility fir the manage- ment of the world, we shall have a better world. For instance, it has been long known that Women are better homemlaakers_ than man:; that women, with their knowledge of chil- dren and their needs, of household economy and of those things which make for comfort and happiness in the home, are capable of bringing these things about and malting hap- py homes, So I think that in the ideal world to which we are travel - , ling, (though it must be admitted we are travelling at a rather slow rate), women will have eharge of the Matters which intimately concern the home and the welfare of human- ity. We have put boo much stress upon ns eterial things, the a'cquiirng of material wealth, and too little upon the things of meal importance, the Welfare of people in general. Can- ada is •considered to be a wealthy country; a land of great potential as well as actual wealth, and men boast of this. But to the average woman the fact that there are men and wo- men and little children in this great country who have not the wherewith- al to,procure the neeessities of Iife, far outweighs the importance of our Mines and the wealth 'af our rivers or our forests. Women would see living con'diti'ons bettered for all, rather than that any group or fac- tion should pile up wealth. I believe that when women have come to understand public affairs better, when they have studied the great problems which eon•frant this and other countries and bring their influence to bear upon the manage- ment of national affairs, that we sbsal1 have . some improvemient in them and in the condition of the great mass of :the people.. After all ueople ere what oou t'm -a mation , it is not wealth of stores but human lives which make a nation great. REBEKAH GOLD MINING, IMPORTANT IN- DUSTRY IN NOVA SCOTIA .Halifax, Nov. 2.9th: Gild mining has had a distinct revival in Nova Scotia during the past few years, It has been carried on in a greater .or Iess extent since the year 1860. Records show that 969,249 ounces of gold' have been recovered to date. produotion is still limited to a few thoasand ounces annually but there is a marked tendency toward the consolidation of areas with a view to more economical and systematic de- velopment. The fields occupy about ten thousand'square mules. The gold bearing veins have never been bot- tomed. Most of the mining done itt the early days was carried on by in- dieiduals who had net sufficient cap- ital to do more than merely test the surface of the vein. Later opera- tions have shown that many mime that were abandoned in the early days contain •ntueh rich ore. Nova Bootle has a. right to look forward to a long future in its gold fields. yal urple ° oultry Specific Keeps P +i ultry Free fromWORMS Mr. Wm. Jnrrott,,ot Sciatica, wrote us a year ago stating that his poultry had become badly infected with worms. We advised him to use 2 lbs. of Royal Purple Poultry Specific in each 100 lbs, of Laying Mash for two weeks and continue throughout the Winter with 1 lb, After using it for three weeks he wrote its stating that in three days he noticed blood streaks in the droppings, and that his egg pro- duction had gone up 100%. During the Pall,' Winter and Spring months he pur: chased 600.1bs. of this Poultry Specific. We received a letter from him the latter part of August, stating that he was amazed at the results he obtained, that his poultry were entirely free from worms, and that during. August of this year his production was 100%s larger than last yew'. It will pay every poultryman, no matter what feed he is using, or if he mixes his own, to add one pound of Royal Purple Poultry$peciflc•to each hundred pounds of feed during the whole season the poultry are shut in. While this great tonic de- stroys the worms', it at the same time tones up the birds, keeping their digestive organs active the same as if they were on range, compelling them to take- from 15%s to 20% moregood from the feed they cat. This is naturally reflected in increased egg production. - Worms in poultry is often mistaken for other diseases. 'rhebirds become very thin and show symptoms of diarrhoea.

JENKINS MFG. CO. LTD., LONDON, ONT. "INE, CLINTON 'NEWS -RECORD THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 19$0 Prevention is great part of fight against Tuber- culosis. Disease takes Greatest Toll of Canadian Youth. Nearly fifty years ago a keen young country doctor in Germany, who knew how to make use of his odd 'minutes, found a new germ, or weed, of disease, er rather- found for the first titne a very old germ which had slain its tens' of thousands, and indeed its many millions, since the world began, That young man was Robert Koch, and thegerm. was the germ of tuberculosis. .Before this was found the doctors ,knew a scorn of diseases in different parts of the "body that were characterized•_ by minute tubers or tubercles. Among these was consumption , which at- tacked the lungs chiefly, and which wag .aptly called "The Captain of the mea of Death". Now, when the new germ was found, it was seen that all of these apparently differ- ent dieaases were eaused by this one gernn young Doctor Koch had found. So they henceforth considered one disease, and called by the one naive, Tuberculosis, • Now these diseases, or rather this disease, had been for ceiida/ice, and was still, the greatest of all kiliet of the human race. Mere than one in teat of all people died of it For generation after gener- ation an average village of a thous- and people had at least three funer- als a year front this cause alone. And most of then were funerals of young men and young women, many of then of young fathers- and young. mothers. • But when it was announced that the germ or seed of this disease had at least been found hope van very high. Dere was the germ. All that was needed was to destroy it. What could be 'easier? The disease would be conquered in a decade. So' the germ Was destroyed in many new ways and in all sorts of places and much good resulted.' We are still at it. But weeds cannot all be destroy- ed without damage to the good grain. And within the body myriads of germs, ,and the disease they have caused, cannot be destroyed without destroying the body also. Sick people had to be put to bed and given every chance to be cured of their disease, and kept from spreading their disease also: So hos- pitals and sanatoria were built. It was found that one chief principle of the cure was long -continued rest, but other means have been found .from time to time, for instance the collapsing of diseased lungs. So the treatment of the sick had become more and more skilful, more and more lives have been saved, and more and mare spread of disease has been prevented by keeping sick people in hospital and sanatoria. Alt fust all the blame was put on the ges'm, or seed. But that was scarcely fair. When we are dis- cussing weeds we have to consider 'the ,oil as well as the seed has some- thing to do with their growth. The tuberculosis weed flourishes in bad living conditions. So it was not enough to destroy germs, and to help sick people, but we had to• try to make gen- eral living conditions such that the fair flower of Good Health world flourish in them, and the noxious weeds of disease would not flourish, The cam- paigners against tuberculosis fought disease ' by im- proving living conditions wherever and however it was possible. They have not been the only campaigners against bad living conditions, but they have been among the most ef- 1'ective, • Think of some'• of the change, during' the past twenty or twenty- five years. Spitting on floors and sidewalks is almost a forgotten dis- gust, the common drinking cup has gone, milk is now generally past- eurized, cattle are tested by tuber- culin, fonds of all sorts are inspected food handlers and feed handling are roguluted, houses are cleaned up nat- ter illness and after deaths, open air living and siren, bathing , have be- come the ft ilian, factories are in- speeted; hours and conditions of Work are better, infectious diseases such as measles, diphtheria and Com- mon colds" are better dealt with, and better care of health is taken in a -- thousand thousand trays. These` are just a few: of the results of a popular cam- paign for better health,' such as the antituberculosis campaign has been: I•Iere we are then. The germ was •found 48 years. ago.. We tried to destroy it, and have Kept. on destroy- ing it. We have given treatment to sick people, and are giving better and bettertreatment year by year. And we *Ilene tried by all ways poo= sible to make the soil of human life favourable for' health and unfavor- able. for disease. What has ,been ac- complished in that 48 year's•? Well, instead of three tuberculosis funerals a yeas in an everage 'vil- lage of a thousand people 'there 'is now perhaps not more than one fnm- oral once in two years from this dis- ease. That is td say, conditions •a're five Mines better than they .used to lie. Surely that is something, 'But even one death in two years out of every thousand people from a disease that is unnecessary, preventable and curable, is far too much, especially when it is ustiallytre death at a young adult' age. when .a life has its highest values. We hear much about "the. losses of 825.000 buildings. but much less about the losses of 825,000 men, and that is just about the value of a-: verage men of sixty. Between the •e o os t i h ages twenty end fy, m e year 1930, and in every pati of Canada, tuberculosis, an unecessar-c disease, is still "The Captain of the Men of Death" ' What more canwe do, about it? Wb can contlinue what we have been doing for 48 years, and we can da mere. Wibon :a. thistle ripens and scatters' its seeds we lona* that we can leek for a circle of mew thistles argrmd it.. And when tuberculosis ripens in some sick, person and scat - tem • its seeds, we know, that we can look for a circle of other sick people around it also. They may not show up at once; it may be years before they show. As a rule tuberculosis' 'actually begins • years ° before it be- gins to show, and it can continue long after it seems to have. disap- peared. , The place to Iook for new weeds is where the old weeds have been, and, the splace to leek for new disease is where';the old disease,has been; If all who have been in contact with tuberculosis are examined, nine times as many of them as of the general public will -be fouatd to have disease. The usual place of spread is in the home eirele, among the' old and the young, especially the : young. This is largely a house -and home scatter -- ed disease. It is a real home brew, Nowa-days we .are not satisfied to let this bad seed germinate and grow until people become real sick. By the tinge'they are sick they are usually very sick. Wie want to find infected people benne they get sick and keep them from getting sick. The big new Word is Preven- tion. Prevention is better than cure, and cheaper than cure also. This is the big work af tubercul- osis clinics and disnensaries, and travelling clinics and anti -tubercul- osis campaigns, from one end of Canada to the other. They are hunting up the eontaets, examining the contacts, • and keeping track of the contacts; they are getting tuber- culosis under control if possible be. fore it begins. This is the kind of thing that most of the seal sale mon- ey is doing .throughout Canada. Diseases should not be endured, ar even • cured, if it can be prevented. It is wiser to maintain health than to regain it, and cheapee also. It is wiser to pay for a non-skid tire than for a smash up and a. police court fine. It is better to pay for safety in. advance, and enjoy it, than have calamity thrust upon us• to be paid for on the instalinent plan. But why should we bave to sell Christmas Seals even for health? Cannot cities. and: counties and pro- vinces .and the Dominion of Canada, as such, do all the Antiotnberculosis work that Is necessary? It is true that almost all governments every- where are doing very 'much more than any government anywhere would have 'imagined 48 years ago. But there are worlds yet to conquer. People lead governments more than governments lead people, Nearly 'everything that has been accom- plibhed in the conquest of tubercul- osiss ha been domee' 1 by people a leadin and governments following. Intelli- gent public spirited, forward-looking people are the skirmishing lines, and governments with their treasuries are- the artillery columns that plod along behind, After a few years perhaps the 'artillery column will have reached the place that is now the skirmishing line. By that time the skirmishers will •be still farther into the . enemy's territory, The skirmishing line is just as necessary as the artillery; almost more nec- essary, because it is the line of ad- vance. 'Christmas Seals Support the skir- mishing line, and not the heavy ar- tillery, They help new and educa- tional measures, and not routine measures such as treatment, Christ- mas Seals organize prevention and leave „cure pretty much to the main army. Christmas Seals do much for general health and for ch'ild'ren, Buy Christutas Seals and help the anti -tuberculosis skirmishing line. iSEAFORTH: Cordon Reynolds -and David McIntosh have returned from Toronto 'where. they represented Hu - von in the County judging eompeti- tion at the Royal Winter Fair• .SEAFORTH: lion.

Did it ever occur to you that keep- ingmoney circulating in a commun- ity, benefits everybody in that com- munity - 'Well, here is .a small illus- tration, says an exchange: In a cer- tain office in. a'little western town the staff consisted of a -book-keeper, a stenographer, and an office .boy. The bookkeeper owed the stenograph- er two dollars,and the stenographer owed .the office boy a like amount; and the office boy was indebted to the bookkeeper to the amount of two dollars also. One day the bookkeep- er received through the mail a dollar bill from someone he had helped in a small financial way. He decided to give this to the stenographer, thus reducing his debt by half. She it turn handed the dollar to the office boy with the promise to pay hint the oth- er dollar. shortly. The office boy inn- 'mediately thought of his debt to the bookkeeper so . he went to 'hint with the dollar and asked him to accept, it in payment of what he owed him. The bookkeeper then decided to give thisdollar to the stenographer and get clear; with her. She .being anx- ious to get sgnare'with the office boy went to him, and tete office boy went to the bookkeeper and got completely out of his debt.'

This structure is a membrane' of eonsiderabie stveugth. It ;acts as 'a drumhead, picking up. sound waves and trans- mitting thein to the ossicles, the three small bones which lie behind it in the middle eat•, Est addition to meting as a drum- head, the 'ear -drum also serves as a barrier to keep opt foreign sub- stances. This is one reason why any break in the drum is serious as it exposes the middle ear to infection from without. In order to hear, it not absol- utely necessary that the drum be intact. The extent to which any tear or hole in the drum may, interfere with hearing depends upon the location and size of the injury. Behind the ear -chum is the middle ear ar tympanic cavity. Here are the oss•ieles, the three small bones forming a series of levers which pass to' the internal ear the vibrat- ions reeieved by the ear -drum.' The Eustachian tube, which con- nects the middle ear with the throut, opens into the middle ear. This tube serves as a passage for air and thus keeps the pressure -within the middle ear, on the inside of the drum, the same as the air pressure on the out- side of the drum. This equality of pressure is important for proper hearing. If the Eustachian tube becomes blocked through inflammation or other causes, air sloes not get in and hearing is interfered with. If there is infection of the nose or throat, it may spread to the Eustachian tube, and there is grave danger that if t nose is blown too strenuously, sem infection will be forced up the to and will cause disease of the midi eas. The nose should not be blow forcefully at any time, but to do when the individual is suffering fro a cold in the head is to invite troub of a very serious nature. The mastoid cells, which ,open im the middle ear have nothing to with hearing. They are similar the head sinuses which drain in the nose.
