It is a matter of the greatest importance
that Canada should increase her produc-
tion of BACON HOGS and other live stock
as there is at present a World-wide short-
age of meat. Good markets for some these
to come are assured.
THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE
will gladly make loans to assist farmers in
good st:.nding to acquire live stock.

THE SAD STORY

FOR LIFE
is frequently revealed in these war

Hard enough to be poor—still worse
to bo ,sick and poor.
. The lot of the consumptive is a spe-
cially trying one. Only recently a
family was discovered hying in two
small rooms over a store. At one time
they had occupied a comfortable home
but the father took sick and had to
give up work. With the savings all
gone, they were forced to sell the fur-
niture to buy food. When the man
was found to be a consumptive, this
was the opportunity of the Muskoka
Free Hospital to bring relief so that
not rel;; would t}ie stricken husband
have e a winning chance for life, but
more desirable still, the wife and chil-

UMIGATI(N of school rooms is usually done by means of the tumet

bazard way it is usually carried out, It 1s worth the expense. Lots
of child:, n cot infection of one kind or another in scbool, but 1t is
not the atmosphere of an "infected school -room" but the mild and unre-
cognized eases or «ommunicable dfeease which spread the disease by contact
infection among the children. It is often found that after great pains and
expense have been taken to disinfect sehool-rooms that fresh cases appear,
tts If no preeautiolis had been taken.
The best safe -guards are cleanliness and the simple use of disinfect-
ants. The oblerts in the school -room which are frequently handled, suet"
-1s door -knobs, millings, gymnastic apparatus, toilet fixtures, eta„ should be
thoroughly cleaned once a week and gone over every

are little short of seatdalous. The writer le aware that Women's Institutes
are doing a great deal towards the improvement of sanitary conditions in
these schools and it is the duty of the Medical Omcer of Health to have a
sharp eye on school premises and insist that the toilets and surroundings
aro kept is proper sanitary condition. Dust should be wiped off furniture
with a damp cloth. Don't 000 a feather duster, this merely stirs up the
dust, and is worst than usetess. The floors :should be oiled and oil brushes
used in sweeping. Blackboard chalk should be removed as much as pos.-
emit
after school hours by wet cloths instead of by erasers.
Since nitwit a the disease occurring among children is spread from
the mouth and throat it is easy to see how the Common Drinking Cup and
