If fewer births arc reported these days, there is hone that the white race will continue to hold Its own through the much greater attention that is being Kiven to have the child well born and carefully reared there- after.

It !., in ."pite of his careless abuse of the wonderful machine of his body, that lin survives Jonger, and not because of improvc- rncnts which he himself has effected. In other words, the State is almost wholly responsible for the improve- ments effected; but now the chance of the average man has come to l)ring about a revolution in his health through education in health mattsr^ thereby enabling the nuMlioal profcs- eion to be steadily transformed into a profession of prevention by regu- lar examination, an>l Uvuihing the MRS. HENRIETTA WRIGHT PASSES AT MAXWELL On Monday, November 12th there passed away another well known res- ident of this district, in the person of Mrs. Henrietta Wright, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Chas.

Or.:e more the announcement ia made that experts have (iiscoverod a means for utili/.ing the millions of tons of stravv- that annually goes to waste on Canadian pi'airie farms- This time it is a French onginoer who has invented a machine which he contends will meet the case, and It is announced that the Saskatchewan (fovernmont will ship a ton or two of straw to Prance to be tested in * * * the new machine. The French ongin- ee'''s device is a machine that presses straw into a slab about two inches thick and binds it with steel wire. The slab can be used for partitions or in theaonstruction (rf all kinds 01 public how to keep fit. Indeed wo have for some time been forced lo^ outbuildnings.
