HOSPITALS IN SMALL TOWNS.
There has, of recent years, been a
distinct advance in the interest taken
in Hospitals in Ontario, and the
Money expended in this beneficent
work is on the increase. Years ago,
hospitals were only found in the
cities; then, as their value became
manifest, the larger towns secured
them. Now, the advantages are be•
coming more and more apparent, even
the smaller centres of population find
them a necessity. Years ago, a long
journey to the city was necessary, and
i that too, when the patient was per-
haps unfit to take the journey. Now,
with these institutions near at band,
the patient is practically near home
and friends.
There are at present 61 hospitals in
Ontario, and last year there were
37,537 patients admitted, The total
expenditure for hospital purposes for
the year ending September 30th last
was $1,228,289.00.
e It is gratifying to know that Wing -
barn is not behind in this respect, and
the following from the last annual
Provincial Report will be of interest,
bearing as it does on the value of a
hospital in a, town :—
"There is no doubt that a well con-
ducted hospital confers incalculable
benefit on the community in which it
exists. Not only are the citizens, out
of the fulness of whose hearts is provi-
sion made for the proper care and
treatment of the sick and injured,
well rewarded, but an addition is
made to the material advantage of a
town which establishes and supports a
hospital. Such an institution benefits
the community also by the influence
it exerts in fostering and developing
an appreciation of scientific advant-
ages which every well conducted hos-
pital should confer. Any influence
which has a tendency to stimulate
medical research, and the acquire-
ment of the knowledge gained there-
by, results in benefit to the communi-
ty. Few, if any, will deny that
"Wise physicians, skilled our wounds
to heal, are more than armies to the
public weal."
"None- of the towns of Ontario that
have enjoyed the many and vane
benefits that come from the establis
ment of well conducted hospitals i
their midst now permit such an Inst
tution to close its doors, It is only
few years since, when a major operr
tion was required, a patient had t
undergo the inconvenience of a ion
journey to some city hospital. Th
establishing of a large number of tow
hospitals in Ontario has now obviate
this. To -day the surgical and medic
equipment of some of our town ho
pitals is superior to that found in cit
institutions. The establishment of
new hospital is a school of medical u
lifting to any community, and th
more remote from the larger centre
of medical learning the town is, th
more pronounced for good directly t
the local medical profession and in
directly to the people it serves mus
the institution be. There are man
instances in Ontario that might be ci
ed to demonstrate the truth of this as
sertion. Just as brilliant and satis
factory results are obtainable in rura
as in city hospitals. The surgery not
being done in a small town hospital i
Minnesota is attracting the atteutio
of the whole world. The benefits ac
truing to the public by the establish
went of a hospital in their midst ar
so manifest that there is reason t
hope that before long there will be
well conducted hospital in every coon
ty in Ontario. Many of the greater
surgical achievements have bee
secured in the rural districts. Th
first abdominal section was done in
rudely improvised wayside hospital
probably little better than the inn o
the Jericho road, that afforded to th
patient of the Good Samaritan a rest
ing place, and to us the first record o
the practical application of the hos
pital spirit."
--The financial report of the last
fiscal year of the Province of Navaa
Scotia indicates a steady growth it
trade, the most important item in the
increased provincial revenues being
due to the growth of coal royalties,
which have doubled within the past
eight years.
---Nothing could indicate the ever-
increasing prosperity of the country
better than the carrying capacity of
the great transportation lines being
taxed beyond their powers. Sind
1903 there have been added 2,365 miles
to the operating mileage of Canadian
roads, and the gross receipts in the
same period have grown from $90,064,
527 to $125,322,865, an increase of $29,
258,338. During 1906 the railroads car-
ried 10,592,206 tons more freight than
they did in 1903, and the capacity of
the roads to -day is far less than the
freight demands.
--The total bonded debt of the
United States is only $925,000,000, and
that of New York city is already more
than half that. of the national Govern-
ment. "At the present rate of increase
the metropolis will have the larger
indebtedness in five years, -says the
New Broadway Magazine. The total
debts of all the States in the Union
amount only to $234,314,190, less than
half that of the single city of New
York, The total state, county and
city indebtedness of the entire United
States is less than three times that of
the city of millionaires. The great
military powers of the world are
much concerned over China and her
debt, and yet China has borrowed
only $612,000,000, against $500,000,000
for New York,
—At the recent meeting of the On-
tario Medical Association, D. E. Ryan
read an essay on—"The Desirability
of Establishing an institution to
which Inebriates may be committed
by Legal Process." The paper called
attention to the fact that total abstin-
ence was the only salvation for the
confirmed inebriate, and quoted as
authorities, Denfendorp, Oppenheim,
and Dr. Crothus, of Hartford. The
drunkard was a menace to society,
and stringent means were necessary
for our general welfare, In the Mas-
sachusetts State Asylum, 93 per cent.
of the inmates are there as a result of
drunkenness. After discussion, the
following resolution was passed:—
"Resolved that a committee be
nominated by the president to
take whatever steps may be deem-
ed necessary to secure the estab-
lishment of an institute for the
treatment of inebriates, and also
the necessary Iegislation and judi-
cial measures desirable."
**
—A strange coincidence was ob-
served in a prison at Leavenworth,
Ran. The police were looking for a
colored man, a murderer named Wm.
West, While they were still looking
for him, a young negro named Wm.
West was arrested for a minor of-
fense. He was promptly charged
with being the long -sought murderer.
He stoutly declared his innocence, but
when he was measured by the Ber-
titlon system it was found..that he was
of exactly the size and shape of the
murderer. Only one test remained,
that of the print of the finger-tips.
An impression of them was taken and
compared with that of the murderer's
fingers, and the man was vindicated.
It was clearly proved that he could
not be the missing man. This was
confirmed a, few days later when the
guilty 'Wm. West was arrested, The
coincidence of name and figure might
have been fatal to the innocent man,
if the impression of the finger-tips had
not also been employed as a means of
identification. The police say that
this test is infallible,- The impression
of one man's finger-tips never corres-
ponds exactly with° those of any other
man.
WHAT'S IN A NAME.
The Toronto Telegram thinks that
there is not much meaning in the
names Liberalism and Toryism. If
the Telegram means that, people of
the present day pay too much atten-
tion to names, and not enough to
straight, clear-cut principles, it is pro-
bably correct. Names may lose their
significance, by the conduct of those
who bear them, and what the world
needs to -day is men of sterling princi-
ple, who will stand by the right, re-
gardless of either old names or old
associations.
Speaking of the recent School Book
legislation, the Telegram says--- .
"The improved quality and reduced
price of the Ontario school books will
be as good as the distribution of $100,-
000r annum pe nn m tanrang the families of
this pirovince. Liberalism was help-
kss in the presence of a school book
ria that t bled parents for $I00,000
per annum, or without interest, $1,-
n00,000 every ten years. Toryism in-
vestigated the ring until it wag glad
to climb down and reduce its prices to
a figure that will leave as good as
$100,000 per annum in the pockets of
purehaaeeris of school hooks. There is
no meaning in a system of party
names that attaches the label "Lib.
prat" to the timidity that kept ]iron.
G, \V. Ross afraid to touch the school
book ring, and the Mayne "Tory" to
the courage that inspired Bon. J. P.
Whitney to smash the ring and save
$100,000 per annum to the people of

—Successful experiments in sending
telephone messages by wireless elec-
tric waves over a distance of nearly 25

Orangeville, May 20.—Arthur C.
Douglass is a free man. The end of
the Jackson -Douglass case came tit 2
o'clock this afternoon, when Druggist
Douglass appeared before Magistrate
Patullo at the Court -house. He was
represented by B. F, B, Johnston, K.
C., but the services of Mr. Johnston
were not required. Crown Attorney
:;McKay came into court with no wit-
ness list, and announced that he
would not call any evidence. Doug-
las, who sat with his counsel, was
obviously relieved at this announce-
ment, although the course pursued by
the Crown r wn Yvas the one
generally
t
-
Pected. Magistrate Tat Ito b� no
option in the circumstances,
but to dis-
charge the prisoner, and Douglass left
the court -room a free man. The
charge dropped by the Crown was,
that Douglass .did, in the month of
June, 1900, at the town of Orangeville,
with intent to produce a miscarriage
on Elizabeth Wells, unlawfully supply
her a drug or other noxious thing.
After four two-inch boards had
been taken off an oak log, at Jas.
Webb's sawmill, at Greenfield, Indi-
ana, it walnut peg, an inch in diame-
ter, 'tves found, where it bad been
dr4tren into the log, The peg was a
foot long and reached the heart of the
big log where, it is estimated, it had
been driven probably 73 years ago.
At the end of the leg was a coil of
black hair, long and silken. Mr.
Webb has endeavoured to learn the
history of the log, butt to no avail.
Old people of the neighborhood are of
the opinion that the coil of hair was
placed there in accordance with a
prevailing custom of pioneer tunes,
this custom provided that when a
man and wife could not get along or
agree, instead of separating, as in
thew, days, the neighbors cut a lock of
hair front the head of each. A bole
was teen bored. in a near by tree, and
the locks of hair driven to the heart
by a walnut pin. After this it was
believed the couple would live happy
ever after.
Exeter, May 30. --Just as school was
dismissed Wednesday evening at four
o'clock, and about 300 school pipits of
all sizes had left the school ground,
and got out on Victoria St., they were
met by a young man leading a, cow.
At the sight of the large number of
children, and the noise of their shouts,
the nervous beast became infuriated,
broke away from her groom, and
furiously charged into the crowd,
kuocking some down in her rush,
carrying one boy for some little dis-
tance on her horns, and catching a lit-
tle girl, named Welsh, about 12 years
of age, and holding her fast between
her head and tire fence. Fortunately
one horn went to each side of the Lit-
tle girl's body, and as the cow madly
pushed, the horns were against the
fence, thus easing the pressure. The
child was soon released and carried
into a dwelling in a condition of in-
tense suffering. Medical aid was
hastily summoned, when investigation
proved that one leg was broken, and
the body otherwise severely bruised,
At one instant it seemed as though
there were no such a thing as saving a
little boy, at whom she furiously rush-
ed, when, just as the cow was almost
within reach of him she slipped on the
cement walk and sustained a hard
fall. It took some time to capture the
frenzied animal, which was done by
lassoing her, during which exciting
manoeuvre she charged and gored the
horse, but not very seriously.
