Health mat- ters through this column. Address him at Spadina House, Spadlna Crescent, Toronto. What wealth there` is in Northern Ontario one can onlyroughly esti- mate, It is stupendous. The money already invested by industries in these unorganieecl territories amounts to something like $93,090,000. This terri- tory being known as "unorganized" is under the direct administration of the government, and the health of the workmen, their housing* accommoda- tion, sanitary conveniences and every- thing that pertains to their general well-being comes under the control of the Provincial Department of Health. Through the medium of its Sanitary. Inspectors, the inspection of camps is carried on, "and even the construc- tion of the camps themselves is now carefully supervised, The health of the workers is attended to by contract physicians, whose duty it is to treat the sick, adopt measures forthe pre- vention of sickness and accidents, sup- ervise the water supply and general sanitation. This supervision is assured because the contract physician has to make a monthly sanitary survey of the camps in order to make a report to the government. Much more can be done in the way of preventing sick- ness and accidents, but at present a start has been made in trying to de- monstrate that prevention is even bet- tel• than cure. In that fact lies the grinding principle of industrial medi- cine which aims to promote and main- tain a high standard of health among workers in every kind of industry. Just as an example of the construc- tion work that is carried on, the fol- lowing items may be of. interest. They include power development, railway and road construction and paper mill eonstructionr—Poyver development at Indian Chutes, costing $1,500,000; power development for the Hollinger Mines at Island Falls, with 1,300: men, $8,000,000; power with at Sturgeon Falls, north of Timmins, with 500 men,, $1,000;000; construc- tion of eighty miles. of power trans- ntiasion lines, $1,000,000. The approxi- mate mileage of railway construction from Cochrane north to Island Falls, the Kirkland Lake Branch line, the branch from Cassidy to South Lor- raine, together with the Long Lac cut- off, is 11S rpiles at an average cost of $20,000 per mile, amounting to $2,- 800,000. Road construction camp's operated by a: branch of the government under the Dept. of Lands and Forests, cut } out of the virgin bush 360 miles of new roads besides maintaining old roads in existence The expenditure in connection with this work last year was approximately, $3,000,000. The entire sanitary supervision of all camps in connection -with this work is carried on by impactors of the Provincial Dept. of Health. The total cost of .construction is roughly $12,000,000. The total in- vestment in Saw -Mills, Pulp and Paper Mills, etc., amounts to $34,- 850,000. There are also forty-eight mines scattered over the province. By placing a rough value on surface work only, the amount. of money invested is $17,000,000. The total figures, rep- resenting each industry are: Lumbering- , $20,000,000 Mining 17,000,000 Construction 12,000,000 Pulp, Paper and Saw- Milling 34,360,000 Total .. , $92,850,000 Nearly 60,000 Hien are employed in these industries in the unorganized territories, which constitutes a health problem of -the greatest magnitude.

The most a rheumatic sufferer can hope for in rubbing something on the tender, aching 'joint is a little relief. No lotion or liniment ever did or ever can do more than this. The rheumatic Poison is rooted in the blood. To get rid of it you must treat it through the blood. Any doetol' will tell you that this is true, If you want something that will go right to the root of the trouble in the blood, take Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. The whole mission of this medicine is to purify and en- rich the blood, and when they do this all blood troubles, including Thelma - tiara, disappear. Among those who have proved the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is Mrs. Annie -Wright, Woolehestor, Alta., who says: "I was a sufferer from rheumatism for six years, and duripg most of that time illy life woe one of misery. I tried several doctors, and Many remedies recommended, but never got more than temporary relief. The trouble seemed to alTeot my whole system and I was 'badly rundown and suffered from headaches as well. t Finally I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and through these I. found COM - plate relief and to -day I feel like a new person, I' can therefore strongly recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to anyone suffering as I. did from this teenage." .

Darkness is a big factor in induc- ing sleep because it is diincult to keep the eyes open in the dark. Waking is not normally possible without thought. The fatigue products of the body, eolentists explain, are concentrated in the brain, and the latter gradually dulls and becomes sluggish. When scientists speak of how "fast" a person sleeps they mean how deep is his sleep. Not only is it possible to measure sleep,but there are dif- ferent'means of doing so. One Method is by dropping a steel ball, The_ball is dropped at increasing distances— four, six, eight, ten, twelve inches, and so on -until the sleeper becomes conscious of the sound "ancl awakens. In this wayaeientists can find out how "deep" was his sleep. Another meth- dd : is to touch the sleeper with an electric wire noting the intensity of tile current used, At a certain time each night you. go "to a 'certaiii'tclSni Set apart at -a bedroom, and, whether really tired or not,, automatically undress, turn out the light, go to bed relax your muscles, close your eyes, and presto!—in a few moments you are asleep. To go to bed is a habit; sheep is nothing more than auto -suggestion. Science may go into more details which require teehni- cal knowledge, but the foregoing is about the most lucid explanation of the phenomenon known as "sleep." It is acknowledged that sleep is due to' brain anaemia or poisoning. The question is: How is this condition pro- duce'd? Spring Song.

The book of Richard Strauss' comic opera, "Intermezzo," has been based by its librettist upon en incident in the composer's life. One day Strauss was playing cards when he was advised of his wife's in- tention to 500 for a divorce. He at once made lnfuirles and discovered that he was accused of being over- friendly with a pretty girl, who alleged( to the lawyers tbnt she had arranged to meet the composer in a cafe the next afternoon. Strauss dented the eppoiutment, but turned up at the cafe, where he learned that a young musical conductor had been imperson- ating him. Domestic harmony was re- stored, and Hermann Bahr, the lib- rettist, utilized the story for the new opera. "One thing that interested Smith Particularly was making lira by fric- tion.

All peerages are, strictly, territorial, being relics of feudal days when a man was ,summoned to the Parliament of his King as a baron or earl in virtue of the land ,he field and the retainers he kept. The retainers and their mas- ters gathered from the ends of the realm constituted the King's army. Nowadays, even when a Mr. Brown is created a peer and calls • himself Lord Brown, he is known officially as Baron Brown of Putney, for example.
