E. Berry of Toronto, Director of Sanitary Engineering for the Province of Ontario, and Dr. J. T. Phair, Medical Officer of Health for Ontario, told of the freedom from communicable diseases rived from the chlorination of water and the pasteurization of milk. "We do not hear of the typhoid epidemic as we used to," the speaker declared. Dr. Berry pointed out that the death rate In the Province of Ontario had dropped from 40 persons to one person per 100,000 population in the province and this, he attributed to the pasteurization of of milk. "People are reluctant to believe that these are contributing factors, but they are," he said. "Chlorination of water and pasteurization of milk are both necessary." Dr. Phair, who spoke prior to Dr. Berry, outlined the legislation in respect to the compulsory pasteurization of mlk and the tuberculosis prevention act He declared that the government had made an extensive canvass of the province before passing legislation regarding the compulsory pasteurizaton of milk and cream in cities, towns and certain designated districts and, the move was a necessary one. He said that no one would suffer any hardship except the itinerant milk dealer. "Raw milk has spread many comi-munlcable diseases and the was adopted to serve the of people and I may say we ing very little in the way of repressions," Dr. Phair said. The speaker declared that legislation in respect culosis Prevention act by the failure of the to assume the proper toward the indigent patient. "I want to say while the government has assumed cost of sanitorium care, it has also delegated to the mu-niclpalitiea an obligation," he said the Tuber-ras prompted nunicipalities responsibility tuberculosis Bermuda Bermuda is a huge volcaniic mountain rising 10,000 feet from the ocean floor. But only by a tiny margin does its top reach above the surface of the sea; the island is 20 miles long and nowhere more than two miles wide. Yet this pinpoint on the vastness of the Atlantic has the bigness of complete individuality and it attracts 80,000 visitors a year." When you see the liners come into Hamilton Harbor loaded with holiday crowds, you ask yourself how Bermuda manages to attract them without letting them, in the inexorable manner of tourists, spoil the thing for which they come. _ There isn't a board walk on the Island, and along the -South Shore, where there is a long succession of beaches, a picnic party is likely to have a wide beach to itself and expects as a matter of course to undress and dress in the sand-floored caves beside the cove. There isn't an automobile in Bermuda (except ambulances, fire engines and a few public-work trucks). Bermuda likes to have agreeable Americans buy houses on the Island, but the amount of land which may be foreign-owned is limited by law, and any purchase by a foreigner is subject to vote by the Governor. The British Colony is headed by a Governor appointed by the Colonial Office in London--usually an elderly genefal. An elected Parliament represents local opinion, yet its hardly a sign of modern democracy: for there is no woman suffrage, and a man must be a landowner to vote. If he owns property In more than one parish, he can vote in each parish that he is a property owner. Vox Nostrae Scholae ! of Fortune conl The last i-ssi an interesting account or the most profitable manufacturing enterprise in the world, The General Motors Corporation. A few figures in mere bigness will be startling if not enlightening for figures of billions are too large to convey any definite idea to the miind sometiimies. General Motors manufactures 40 per cent of all the automojbiles in the United States and 35 per cent of all the automobiles in the world. General Motors in.219 years of corporate life has earned for its stockholders, $2,830,000,000 or an average per ye'ai of $85,000,000. It has normally 250, 000 employees of whom white-collar men alone numiber nearly 35,000. There are scattered over the en world 110 plants in which General Motors own more than a 50 per cent interest. In Canada these plants are at Oshawa. Regina, St. Catharines, and WalkervMe. In the United States the big plants are at Flint, Mich, troit, Mich.; Dayton, Ohio; Pontiae, Mich. But almost every country the world has its General Motors, Argentina, Brazil. Belgium. China, France, India, Java, Japan, Mexico, Sweden, and larger plants than most American plants, in England, and in Germany. General Motors' consolidated sales in 1837 were a little over $1,600,000,000, including Bill Onyon' sales in Colborne. Its floating cash account, enough to take care of its ordinary needs for a month, averages above $150,000,000. The General Mortars is not one business, it is a multitude. Of its thirty odd-plants in Canada and the United States, five make automobiles. But other plants make virtually everything that goes into these mobiles exepfl tires:, textiles glass, and if you recall batteries, ",]'\-!whumper-guards, fog- lamps, genera-are hav- tors- horns, locks, radios, shock absorbers, etc., you will see how infinite is the manufacturing job that preceeds the making of the bile. And meanwhile the biggest plant at Dayton Ohio, half of whose 200,000 people ' depend directly cm General Motors, has nothing to do with automobiles at all. It is the Delco Products Co. In this multiplicity of manufacturing, manufacturing things, that _" into automobiles and things that have nothing to do with automobiles, lies the secret of General Motors profits. Illness is responsible for the absence of Phyllis Oke and Dorothea Hetherington. Doesn't It Pay? Occasionally some one gives us this line: "Advertising doesn't pay. It takes all the profits of the sales to pay for it. Everybody knows where our store is and if you satisfy peopl* they will tell others, and that is the best advertisement of all." That has been said so often to advertising salesmen all over the world that it has become commonplace to them. But the facts are far different. Every product known widely and sold widely to-day is advertised all the time. On the other hand, every product which formerly sold in large volume after its promoter ceased to advertise it. For example, take the sale of citrus fruit in California and in Florida. We read to-day that in 1908 the crops were very large. The orange growers faced bankruptcy. Two schools of thought prevailed. One said that things are so bad we can't change them. The -oilier said that things are so bad they can't be worse. An advertising campaign was started and the sales were doubled. In the thirty year period consumption of oranges has increased from 3:1 per capita to 79 per capita. The public has been educated to drink oranges as well as to eat them, to make them an imdis-pensalble part of salads and other appetizers, to use them in desserts. Citrus fruits and health diets have become synonymous. Advertising did it.---Picton Gazette. Work and save, young man, and some day you'll have enough to divide with those who don't. The ladies look nicer with their hair on top of their heads. So would some men.
