THURSTON. - Assoc, Editoi THE NEW UKOOM SWEEIMNC The new Kovernment of Ontario continues to carry out its pl^d»;c in the late Kcneral tlcction â€" that it would Kieatly n-duct the cost of ffov- ernmont to the taxpayer by curtailing the number of office holders. It has long bten known that the prov- ince was Kreatly over-stuffed, but those in authority were apparently not able to cut off the mouldering branches, and weak-kneed bosses were disinclined to resist the pressure ol "friends", who clamored for jobs i*oi defeated candidates and other office seekers. .An end had to come to the system some day, and the clamor for a change was increased by the continued de- pression and lack of employment which helped to bring about the phen- omenal upheave! in the constituencies and now the new brooms are sweep- ing clean. Let us hope that the re- sult will be laid to heart by us all and that the greatly reduced staffs will be so guided that we may nevei witness such another clean-up of officialdom. What fs needed, is per- sistent, not spasmodic economy in ad- ministration, and a corresponding re- duction in taxation. AVe.need this in every governing body in the State, and not in the province only. An illustration of how easy it is for some men â€" practical office hold- ers â€" to obtain fat offices, to. add to them and hold on to them long after they have reached old age, is afforded by the forcible retirement of Mr. Coatsworth from the office of Chief Police Magistrate in Toronto, This gentleman, when told he was to be retired, strongly objected to the etiquette of the notification, because he first learned of his demission from a ncwspaiKT report. Really, however, he might have expected the action of the new government, inasmuch as he was a duplicator â€" what is vul- jyarly known as an "office-hog." He was at one time a county judge and he performe<l his duties faithfully but when he reached the advanced age of 75, he was compelled by law to retire. The office dispensors ot the province, however paid no rogarn to the intent of the law in this re- Bpect, and appointed him Police Mag- istrate. From the new office he has been drawing a salary of several thousand dollars a year, and at the same time he has been receiving the retiring pension of a judge â€" some $7,000 per annum. Now he and his friends are lamenting because as he has reached the age of 85, the new government has put a stop to thi.s scandal. The action of the author- ities is highly justifiable. The tax- payers of the province want no un- necessary or overpaid offices to be sustained, and they are eciually a- verse to the selevtion of well-paid |>ensioners of the State holding of- fices which many of their fellow tax- payers are well (lualified to hold. We have no antipathy to the agi-(i jurist in expressing these sentiments. Mr. Coatsworth's qualifications for the bench ar? not questioned, and his views on fitaling with juvenile offend- ert haTC for many years been well worthy of adoption, though law-miRv- «.Ts were loathe to give them heed. Some of our readers will remember when, in dealing with the "hooligan" class of giown-up boys, he found that many had to be impre.^sed with Ihe .seiiousness of their misdeeds. He had resort then to the age-old remedy of parental spanking with a strap. To a friend of ours, the Judge said that the whipping had the dv- sired effect. A term at the jail farm the Judge observed, was followed b;. boastful bravado, when they returnei to their former haunts, and a declara- tion that they had had a fine time and plenty to eat. But when they c-ame back with a warmed-up anatomy they were ashamed to acknowledge it, and did not soon court a seoond instalmcat of the strap. Unfortun- ately, the Mayor of Toronto at the time, was an opponent of corporal punishment, and as the law did not provide for the salutary punishment Jodffe CoatAworth reluctantly had tc irive up the new method of discourag- inir wrong-doing. The mayor's loud oatcry airainat the so-called lash had ita effect, but it would have been bet- ter for many of the unruly juveniles and in the public interest, if the very moderate punishment had been con- tinued.

A HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA TYi'IIOID FEVER Older readers will recall the time when health departments were chiefly concerned with drains. That was the period when certain diseases as filth diseases, and it was generally believed that dirt and disease were synonymous. As scientific investigations revealed the true cause of diseases and made clear their mode of transmission, wc came to know that disease does not breed in filth, but that the filth, if contaminated by human excreta, may act as a vehicle for the transmission of disease. Typhoid fever was one of the filth diseases, and it was not unreasonable that it should have been so regarded. Typhoid fever is caused by a germ which settles and thrives in the human intestines, whence it may invade other parts of the body. The germs pass out of the body in the bowel dis- charges, and, not infreejuently, in the urine. Typhoid fever is spread, usually, by milk and water, and occasionally, by raw vegetables or other raw foods, for example, as oysters. In such cases, the water, milk, or food has become contaminated with the body dis<.-harges of a person who actually has, or who has had the disease. We say "has had" because, unfor- tunately upon recovery from the disease, some patients pass into the carrier state when, athough appar- ently' well, they continue for a period of time, sometimes for years, to pass out, in their faeces or urine, the germs of tyi^hoid fever. Such a pcr.son, if at all careless in his per- lonal habits, will be a source of danger if he is preparing or handling food that is to he used by others. Obviously, such a person should not engage- in cooking or in the handling of milk. Residents of the larger centres of population arc- generally well pro- tected against typhoid fever through a filtered, chlorinated water supply, pasteurized milk and food inspe-ction. However, these very people are toe apt to forget that when they pass th( city limits, they leave these safe guards behind and may find them- selves without such protection, for , in general, rural areas are not adc- j quately ; e-rved by a public health department. Mo.'t typhoid fever occurs in the summer and autumn. The majority of cases in cities occur among those who, on vacation or motor trips, have forgotten that all water and miik are not safe for human use, althougli they can be rendered so by be-ing boiled for a few minutes. For those who must, perforce, ie-- cure their food and drink from sour.,2s of which they are not suro, it is advisaWe that they obtain, from their family physician, individual pro- tection through typhoid inocuialion.f the efficacy of which was established during the Great War. I'ESKErr-J'HlLLII'S A very pretty wedding was solemn- ized on Wednesday, June 20, at the Dauphin Plains church, six miles north of Dauphin, when Jcanette Fli-/abeth, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Victor E. Phillips, Dauphin Plains was united in marriage to John Herbert Peskett, youngest son of Mr. anJ Mrs. F. L. Peskett, Gilbert Plains. The churrh was prettily decorated for the occasion with mauve and white flowers and ferns. Every available Stat was occupied by friends from the district.

Miss Elda Phillips a cousin from Hamilton, Ont., attired in a green lace gown, and carrying white flowers, as maid of honor, and the groom was attended by his broth- er, Arthur Peskett of Gilbert Plains as best man.

Little Marion Hutchinson, in pink, made a dainty flower girl. Mr. Hugh Cowan and Mr. Lloyd Castle v/ere ushers. The marriage ceremony was perform- ed by Rev. D. H. Telfer of Dauphin United church. During the signing of the register Miss Clara Castle sang very sweetly, "I love you- truly." The bridal party left the church to the strains of Mendelssohn's iWedding March. After the ceremony over sixty ,guests were entertained at the home of the bride's parents. -A dainty buffet luncheon was served, from the table prettily decorated and centred with a three tiered wedding cake. The young couple were the recipients of many useful and beautiful gifts. In the late afternoon, amid showers of confetti and hosts of good wishes Mr. and Mrs. Peskett left by motoi for a brief honeymoon to Winnipeg and Neepawa; on their return the.v will make their home at Gilbert Plains.

SHACKLETONâ€" IVISON Night Blooming Cereus Within the last few days a numl-er iif our citizens had the appreciated opportunity of seeing a night flower- ing cereus in bloom. The rare and cxteromcly interesting plant., now .'ovi-ral years of age and flowe^iing for the first lime, is ownad by Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Cornell. Last fall Mr. and Mrs. Cornell loft the cereus at the John Street greenhsuse of F. Pe-ter & Son, for better care and tending during the winter months. Some weeks ago it was discoTorco that the plant had fifUen buds. ?.owi- ol' these were removed to give the others a better chance to mature. The first bud flowered on Thursday nig-ht last and was followed by a .second on Friday night. One night this week five buds burst into full bloom. The cereus is peculiar in that it flow«rs after nightfall. The buds commenced to unfold about sev- en o'clock in the evening, had fully opened two hours later, when the flowers were seen at their best, and had closed again and ended their brief life before midnight. The flower is shaped somewhat after the form of a large lily, is white on the outside and four or five inches in diameter at the mouth. It emits a miW and pleasant perfume. Th« inside of the flower is beautiful, but difficult of description., The rare bloom attracted much interest among local flower lovers, who are grateful indeed, to Mr. and Mrs. Comeil and Mr. and Mrs. Peter for affording them the opportunity of viewing this unus- ual flower. â€" Orangeville Banner.
