The battle against preventative dis- eases is a feature of twentieth century activities. People see the advantage of staying 'that which can be stayed and extending the length of life and sav- ing thousands of lives to the state. In this connection the proposed Sir (iver Mowat memorial hospital is a plan to aid in preventing the spread of "the white plague," a disease that has ravaged the country and carried away thousands. The people are alive to "its destructiveness and have [willingly subscribed to what they | regard as a boon and benefit to man- I kind. The city council is, we understand, to be approached next week to assist in completing the amount required to make the hospital an assured suc No more worthy or efficacious cause has appealed to the aldermen for help, and the calmest and most expected, support cess, earnest investigation is Kingstonians should loyally this most worthy institution. The Whig thoroughly agrees with State Commissioner of Health E. H. Porter, of New York, who declares that the social' welfare of the state requires that the prevention--ef-- dis- ease and the education of the masses matters should be full. Proper education of the au- in sanitary carried out, people, efficient work by health thorities and co-operation of public officials for better housing and la- boring conditions, proper water sup- plies parks and playgrounds will produce conditions which will fully justify our pride in citizenship. | DISLOYALTY SUSPECTED.

Now they can, but they had better danger in the message of Mr. "Fielding to the British people, that in seeking | free trade between Canada and the United States the British preference will be forgotten. Mr. Fielding admitted that it had 'to be discussed | incidentally during the negétiations of | the reciprocity arrangement, and Mr. Foster wanted him, as he revealed the character of the agreement, to state' emphatically what would be the atti-' tude of the government towards the preference, Mr. Foster understood that the pre- sent preference would remain intact and it would be discussed when it came up for treatment, and that the} men who created it could be safely left to see that it was protected.

Ontario leads, and Quebec " is a good second, in the sheep-raising in- dustry of Canada, the two provinces having 1,700 out of 2,105 registrations in the year 1910. Quebec has, how- ever, a considerably larger member ship in the Sheep Breeders' Associa tion, the numbers in Quebec and On-' tario being respectively, 111 and 112, out of a total of 304 all over C anada. The other provinces have members as follows: Alberta, 15; Manitoba, 10; British Columbia, 8; New Brums- wick, 5; Saskatchewan, 4, and one each in Nova Scotia and Prince Ed- ward Island. The numbers of registrations pf pure- bred sheep in 'the several provinces are as follows : Ontario, 986; Quebec, 714; Alberta, 158%; Manitoba, 93; British Columbia, 71; Prince Edward Island, 26; Saskatchewan, 21; New Brunswick, 12; Nova Scotia, 2; also 22 were re- gistered from the United States. The Shropshires are far in the lead, 862 animals being recorded in 1910, out of a total of 2,083. Leicester: come next, with 386. Oxford Dowos are third, with 221, and Cotswolds fourth in order, with 175. Cf the the other breeds of sheep, there were recorded of Lincolns,. 7S; Dorset Horns, 16; Hampshires, 40; Suffolk, 32, and South Downs, 23. At the recent winter fair in Guelph, there were £37 entries, and $1,513, was paid in prizes.

Mayor Graham, although not a mem- ber, has done a great deal during the past week to advertise Kingston by colliding with the streets' department. | The whole province has heard about the way his worship made things ney told the people's "Christy" to keep his hands off his department. However, the Lampman is of opinion that the mayor's action will serve to make the civic departments step a lit- tle more lively. The Lampman would suggest to his worship that he get af- ter the public buildings that are not complying with the egress by-law. He might enquire why the entrance doors of hospitals swing inwards instead of outwards. There may be other public institutions which are in a like condi- tion. The Lampman has noticed that many townsmen have had an unusually contented look upon their faces during the past fortnight, and he is wonder- ing if their wives attended the recent course in cookery. These men are less dyspeptic-looking than before. Evi dently the pastry they consume is causing less perforation of the stomach than before. The Lampman is not acquainted with the Portsmouth philosopher, but while he agrees with the most of that wise man's sayings, he does not agree with him when he declares that kiss ing the Bible never made a liar tell the truth. The Lampman knows of cases in which the vath taken on the good book resulted in the truth being told, when the witness ordinafily was an awful liar. Of course, this does mot apply to election protest cases, in which the witnesses nearly eat the book, and then proceed to lie without a bit of shame. Most towns and cities have public benefactors, but it seems a long time since any fof Kingston's wealthy townsmen have given the place a gift The Lampman recalls that John Wat- kins and William Nickle built wings to the general hospital, and that John (Carruthers erected a science hall for Queen's College, but they belonged to a past generation. The present gener- ation of Kingston's wealthy men have given the ' town nothing. Everything that Kingston gets, the people as a whole have to pay for. The Lampman wonders who will be the first weal thy man to endow the hespital or the home for the. aged, or give the town a public library. --~THE TOWN WATCHMAN. TRIBUTE TO H. 8S. FOLGER. Regret Over Retirement--A Tho- rough Steamboat Man. A New York state paper says there is genuine regret that Howard Fol ger 18 not to be connected with the new management of the Thousand ls land and St. Lawrence River Steam boat company. For fifteen or more years he has directed thé' policy of the river steamboat company, and he did it well; so well, in-fact, that company employees and travelling pub- lic even this early regret the change that takes him from the business. 4 His old employees are sorry that he leaves because ke was always fair d courteous to them. There was Ino dividing line between employer and lemployee. All were "good fellows" |with an interest in the company's | weliare that made friction unknown. The fact that accidents of any na- ture was entirely lacking assured the travelling public that a master hand was in control and that excellent judgment in selecting employees was the main cause of this excellent show- ing. Howard Folger is a thorough steamboat man. Nothing in mainten- ance and repairs was slighted--the best material and best help. As crews and individuals the men were treated as equals. Everything considered, it is small wonder that he leaves the service with the highest and good wishes of all connected with the company. Mr. Folger is ambitious and given any kind of encouragement was willing to improve the service. of a greater degree than any man we know of. He was handicapped in one way and another, but as it was gave excellent serviee and to the entire sa- tisfaction of every interest in the whole Thousand Island region.

London Paper Issues List of "Dont's" for Emigrants, ""Pit-Bits' publishes a column of "Don'ts" for intending immigrants. Here are a few of them : . Generally speaking, the cost of liv. ing in the colonies is higher than in this country, although the wages are better. Don't pay premiums in. this country to gain instruction in farming in Canada. The Canadian government says it is unnecessary and in many instances the payments are induced by fraudulent statements. Don't forget that any emigrant who, within three years of landing in Can- ada, becomes a public charge, or an inmate of a jail, hospital, or other charitable institution, may be de ported with-those dependent on him or her. . Farm and railway work is dis- continued, to a great extent, in the winter in Canada, and it is now a bad time of the year to go out there unless assured of employment an the latter case farm laborers and fem- ale servants need have sufficient tra- velling money only. Don't forget that all emigrants land: ing in Canads" between March lst and Oct. 30th must possess $26 and every child $13 each. Beiween Nov. Ist and the last day of February the a- mount is increased to $52 and $26 respectively, in addition to sufficient travelling money. Clerks are not wanted in Canada for the simple reason that merchants and business men are not willing to take the trouble of training them. There is a great difference between the cojnage and 'the banking in this country and in Canada. In regard to office work it usually takes from six to twelve months to get into the pro- per run of things. A knowledge .of languages will be found exceedingly useful to those go- ing to Canada and South America In the latter case Spanish is a useful language to learn." In many Cana- dian towns, like Montreal, for in- stance, the French language is spoken by half the population, in addition to which there are many Italians, Rus- sians, Swedes, etc. In the business portion of the community the Scotch, English and French predominate. : * In New South Wales, South Austra- lia 'and Queeéhsland there is a general demand for working men, such as stonemasons, carpenters, blacksmiths, fitters, monlders and boilermakers; but in Vietoria no emigrants are wanted except farmers with capital and ex- perienced farm laborers, particularly at the present time, which ia the sum- mer season. in a good: de mand also for women and girls © in the dressmaking, millinery, tailorings, shirt-making and confectionery trades.
