and toronto in five years jsays the orangeville banner the muni cipalities of the province have reduced their aggregate debts by 80000000 or over this they have done by reduc ing their expenditures and cutting out extravagances how different this is from the governments at ottawa and toronto which are constantly increas ing their expenditures and just as constantly s and davising new sources of revenue if these two gov ernments would only take a few les ions from the municipalities in sound financing methods there might be some hope of decreasing our heavy provincial and federal debts not an

preeminent in association with the affection known as scurvy scurvy is a deficiency disease that is one in which the person affected lacks some i necessary element in the diet such as fresh vegetables and lime or lemon juice the scurvy patient shows weakness anaemia spongy gums a tendency to mucocutaneous haemorrhages and a brawny hard ness of the muscles of the calves and legs in years gone by it was the particular bane of sailors who on ions voyages wereobliged to eat salt pork and to do without fresh vegetables in some vessels onehalf pr even more of the crews were affected and many died of scurvy captain cook changed all this he was born in a clay biggin in york shire and at 27 joined the royatnavy within a month his grave firm sen- sltivetface so impressed the captain that cook was
