Wednesday, January 27, 1937 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE A HKALTH CERVICC OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL AtSOCIATION AND LIFE • NCUHANCI COMPANIES IN CANADA THE OPEN-FACED SNEEZER Wc read almost daily in the press the sad results of carelessness of ped- estrians and motorists, but we seldom, if ever, read of the sad results of the carelessness of "open-faced" sneezers. :NVverthele8S, the "open-faced*' sneezer is more dangerous than the careless motorist. A person is Ruilty of criminal negligence who is careless and lacks consideration for others- who, without any thought, sneezes, showering particles of material from his nose and throat all around him. A man who strikes another is ifuilty of as-sault. Public opinion, as expres.sed in the law, does not allow of such assaults, and requires that the person who commits one be pun- ishid. A far more dangerous assault is committed by the careless sneezer. Public opinion should recognize this and stop it. Disease germs pass out in the secre- tion of the nose and mouth. A sneeze casts a germ-laden spray for ten feet. If the sneezer covers his nose and mouth with a handkerchief, tho danger is practically ended. If the desire to sneeze is too sudden to allow of using the handkerchief, thg head can at least be lowered and the spray directed to the floor, not into other people's faces. In addition to those actually ill, many persons carry disease germs in their nose and throat. People with colAs continue to go about their bus- iness. For these reasons, the sneeze may be the means of spreading dis- jase, and, for these reasons also, an end should be put to the "open-faced" sneezer. When his fellow club members say he is only an excuse as a curler, it doesn't mean exactly the same thing as when his wife says his curling is only an excuse. Dentist: "Awfully sorry, miss, but I just tore a piece of your gum." Patient: "T^iafg all right. Just stick it under the chair and I'll get it when I go out." One of the saddest things we read of during the Christmas season was the tragic death of young Bob Maskel) of Ooderich who ran back in the face of an oncoming train to save his dog who was whimpering behind him. Vhe I lad v/ae^ killed but what a fine little ' fellow he mMst have been. THE STORE SERVICE F. T. HILL&eO..Ltd. CUAO* 8TORB9 Markdale.

Farmers' Returns Show ImprovtmeDt One of the most encouraging fea- tures of the recovery witnessed dur- ing 1936 was narrowing of the spread between prices of farm produce and prices of the things farmers buy. At the low point of the depression it is I estimated that farmers were receiving only 35 per cent, of the 1926 level of ! prices for their produce, while prices of things farmers buy had fallen to only 82 per cent, of the 1926 aver- age. By the end of 1936 farm prices had rLsen to 65 per cent' of the 1936 average, while the index of prices paid by farmers had not yet advanced over the 1932 level. The farmers' price disadvantage has thug been reduced materially, but there is still sufficient diffei-ence to make profitable farming difficult. It is probable that price increases will occur in such items as food, clothing, feed, fertilizer and building materials during 19S7. These facts are pointed out in the Agricul- tui-al Situation and Outlook for 1937, prepared jointly by the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture and Trade and Commerce. The market for Canadian farm pro- duce at home depends to a very large extent on the activity in other indus- tries. Material recovery was record, ed by most of these industries during 1936. Preliminary estimates show that the average level of production in 1936 was at least 8 per cent, above 1935. The manufacturing industries showed an improvement of 11 per cent, for the first ten months of 1936, while newsprint production and the output of electrical power reached now all time high level during 1936. Construction has lagged behind other industries, but the increase in private building rather than public is an en- couraging sign. Employment has shown a material advancement in the numbers actually employed, but at the same time relief lists remain long and consequently the purchasing pow- er of a large group of consumers has been retarded. The income received by farmers in 19,36 was above that of the preceding year and indications are that for the tirst six months of 1937 a further in- crease will be recorded. Little change is anticipated in farm taxes for 1937, and rates of farm wages still remain .ow compared to pre-depression levels. CEYLON Mrs. E. C. Murray of Toronto spent the week end in town.
