HEALTH EDUCATION
BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON
Provincial Board of Health, Ontario
Or, Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Healthmat-
ters
atters through this column, , Address him at Spadina House, Spadini,
Crescent, Toronto
Within the past quarter or perhaps
half century man has taken a lively
interest in health matters in the sense
that attention to these matters
can and does improve the health
condition under which he lives. True,
there have been instances of ancient
races carrying out great schemes for
the convenience of the people that to-
day come under the head of public
health work. For . example, the Ro-
mans spent much time and labor, as
well as large sums of money in build-,
in g aqueducts in order to bring abun-
dance of water into their capital city.'
However, it was not with the idea of
bringing a pale water supply that
these great aqueducts were built, It
was more to satisfy their aesthetic
senses. They enjoyed their baths and
delighted in the play of their foun-
tains, but they knew nothing about
the transmission of typhoid fever,
dysentery, or Asiatic cholera by drink
ing water
When the Romans introduced win-
dow glass they did it only for plea-
sure and comfort -they never had
any thought in their minds about the
value of sunlight in killing the germs
of tuberculosis, ` diphtheria and other
diseases. The early draining of
swamps in this country was done for
economic and not for sanitary rea-
sons.
Now look at what is being done,!
and has already been done in the mat-
ter of Child Welfare, in the matter
of controlling communicable .diseases,
in the work that has been .done in in-
dustrial hygiene and in the fields of
sanitary engineering, and laboratory
facilities.
In the Province of Ontario, as in
every otherpart of the country, a
pure water supply is one of the essen-
tials in maintaining a high standard
of public health, and the results of a
firm and progressive policy by the Di-
vision of Sanitary Engineering, in
improving water supplies and sewer-
age facilities, can be observed in the
low death rate from typhoid in this ,
province. In the cities of Ontario)
the death rate is 4.3 per 100,000 and
in rural districts 4-5 per 100,000, fig-
ures tar below the records of any of
the other provinces, or of the United
a es.
In Child Welfare, elthrough
the work
of the PublicHeath
nurses, infant
clinics and demonstrations, the infant
death rate has been reduced in some
cities from dyer 100 per 1,000 births
to as low as 65' per 1,000 births. Cor-
respondingly good results have also
been obtained in some rural districts.
In every branch of Public Health
work at present, the maintenance of
health is ever the goal in view, as
well as to increase the span of human
life and promote the comfort and, hap-
piness of all classes of the community.

A Mysterious Bill.
Although the King summons Perna -
meet, it may not he generally under-
stood that the Speech from the ,Throne
does not bind Parliament to consider
the measures mentioned therein nor
to proceed at once to the consideration
of any of them.
Before the King's Speech is read by
the Lord Chancellor in the House of
Commons, when the two Houses are
resumed in the afternoon, it is the
practice to read some Bill as a mat-
ter et form, in order to assert the
right of deliberating without reference
to the immediate cause of summons.
In tbe, Tsoiise' of Commons a bill en-
-titled "The Clandestine Outlawrfes
Bill" has been used or this purpose
or more than a hundred years. Noth-
ing.is ever heard of it during the re-
mainder of the session.

Some of Its,Causes and,JIow I e -
lief May be Obtained.
Many people suffer from nervous in-
digestion. The commonest'oausee are
worry, over-work,lack of exercise, or,
a general rust -'down condition of the
system. It is a disease of the nerves
ratter than of the., digestive organs,
and is corseted by giving needed nous
ishment to the nervous system and.
building up' the blood.'
The treatment consists largely in
rest, recreation and the use ofa true
tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills..
In addition, the patient should •follow
a careful diet, and avoid coffee and
stimulants., these being unsuitable for
nervous people. As one's nerves rely
for nourishment upon the blood, the
latter must be built up and made rich
anis pure, which is just what Dr. Wil-
liams" Pink Pills do, If there is loss
of weight and pallor, 1)r. Williams'.
Pink Pills are especially helpful. Mrs.

obtained relief:—"I was so bad with
nervous indigestion that I could not
digest anything I toolc, and as a .con-
sequence was a great sufferer. I doc-
tored for four months, but seemed to
be gettingworse instead of better, I
lost strength to such an extent that I
could hardly go about. Then my
mother cense to see me, and urged me
to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills; and I'
followed her advice and got a supply.

felt my strength returning, and Icon -
tinned their use, until at the end of a
few months I could eat anything I de-
sired'=had regained my old time health
and strength, and was in every way a
well woman. 1 am so thankful for
what Dr, Williams' Pink Pills did, for
me that. 'I always advise • their use
when anyof my friends are run down
or ailing." •

The History, of Copper.
There is a chapter of history con-
ceased in the word "copper." Copper
was named after theplace where it
was first found—the island of Cyprus.
From Cyprus the mineral was ex-
ported by the enterprising Phoenician
traders, who also ventured out of the
Mediterranean, up the European coast,
and north to the British Isles.
Here—in what is now the Duchy of
Cornwall — these pioneer mariners
found the natives mining a white met-
al"now called tin. They took cargoes
of this tin to Cyprus, and there, by
combining the copper with the tin,
they turned out the metal called
bronze,.
After all the intervening centuries
since the initial visit by the Phoeni•
clans, perhaps more than 3,000 years
ago, tin 1s still one of the main pro-
ducts of Cornwall.
What the Package Does.
Tea growers have found from experi-
ence that it is necessary immediately
to pack tea 1n air -tight metal -lined
chests, to preserve the flavor and ,good-
ness of the leaf. Equally so is an air-
tight package necessary for the small
lots of tea for individual' consumption;
Bulk tea is always inferior tea because
It is exposed to.alr, The "SALADA"
