i oa * SAFE REMEDY ENDS " CATARRH MISERES Gives Instant Relief, Cures and Prevents Cstarrh and Cold in the Head The quickest, best and safest way to eure ¢atarrh or a cold in the head is by using a remedy that will "touveb the spot" and do its work quickly without leaving any bad effects. Ely's Cream Palm, which is- applied to the nostrils or rubbed on the throat or cheat, gets right at the root of the trouble and instantly relieves even the worst case of estarrh or cold. A few minutes after applied you can feel a loosening up ia the head, the pain and ty gone, the sense of taste, smell and hearing come back, and yon feel like 8 different person. Ely's Cream Balm cleanses, heals and strengthens the inflamed wem- branes, takes away that stuffed-up feeling and dull pain in the head, . re- liebes the throat soreness and stops the nasty discharge which is the cause of the disgusting hawking, spitting, blowing of the nose, and foul breath. Hay fever victims who are made mis- by fils of epeezing, coughing 4 and wheezing get instant and perman- ent relief by the use of this simple Vv, s Don't sufiér another minute. Fly's Cream Balth will relieve you immedi- ately, and a D0 cent bottle will more than likely work a complete cure. All druggists sell it. G. W. Mahood, ag- PHONE 76 For your Grocery orders.

The Great Need for Good Ventila- tion im Every Home----Badly Ventilated Rooms a Great Draw. back, and Bring About Serious lllness -- The Need for Pure Water. "Some Fssentials of Human Life' was the subject taken by Dr. W. T. Connell. speaking before the Young Men's Club of Si. James' church, on Thursday evening. He said : "Our_health, the physical well-being of our bodies, depends upon many factors, but of all these there stands forth three as prime necessities, viz: Air, water and food. We can stand axclusion of air, for a few minuts only, deprivation ol water a matier of hours, ahstinance of food some out fathers, but they are mot nearly well sired. For, wn olden times, and in some portions of our covhiry dis tricts vet, heating was either by open wood fires, or by wood stoves. Hou drew off through chimneys, large vol- umes of sir from rooms and fresh sir i necessity, was drawn mn to Lake the place of that forced out. 'The average house, heated im this way, proved to be well ventilated, so long as the fires were burniog. Our cosl stove and fur naces are at best, poor veanliating agents, in fact | the chimney dampers get partially closed, it 12 not uncom: mon for the products of combustion to escape nto air (coal gas} The vom mon Enghsh practice, of burmbpg coal or gas, mn open grates, 1s also an ex- cellent means of ventilation, even though , as a heating method, they rank quite low, Our architects, in fact, in planmng our average modecn house, have made no altempt to pro vide for ventilation.' It has been sim- ply non-existent for them. Even many of our large public buildings, schools, churches, and halls are seriously lack ing in this respect. "1 think one can best arrive at the value of fresh air, by stating tie case agaipst foul air ve against inadequate ventilation. Let me point out, that while the produets of breathing, are the main factors in vibrating the air «) our rooms, that lamp and gas jcis also burn up the oxygen of the m and throw their products into room. days. food ix the fuel, and the building material of the body, the great salvent, the carrier of the uel to the various parts of the body, nd of the waste matter from the REF I tissues to their avenues of rom the body. Air; or rather the sxygen of the air, burns up the ood, and produces the necessary hess ind energy, requisite to carry on the various functions of the body, and teep up the body heat, Just as our aurnaces will not burn without air, sir food will not be burned, and its mergy set free to do the work of the hody Roughly, we have out- lined in what these three are necessi- ies, or essential, for our individual axistenve, "When we look into these three a little move deeply we find that the air, water and food are comprising nany of the problems of public health. For the public health simply donsiste in the aggregate of those measures which best conserve the health of the individual, and as for retention of health, clean air, safe water and proper food ate essential. Fhe public health must deal with measures which will guard the purity of the air we breathe, 'the safety of the water we drink, and the provi sion of an adequate amount of good food. I would like shortly to point out some necessary matters to looked 'into im connection especially with the securing of clean, pure air and safe water. The question of food # 30 complex, and into it enters so many individual factors and peculiar ities, that it could scarcely he ade- quately disoussed in a talk like this.

You have felt that op- pression, and smelt the odor of bad ventilation, It may be called the odor of-the great unwashed, but let me say that an audience of thor oughly clean people, would giv: nearly the same odor if packed In as Closely.

"Now, 1 do not propose to go in: to the various sources of water used for drinking purposes ia 'oar country but simply to cousider the problem as it affects us ip this city. We get our water from the lake about 2,50 eel out from shore, through a pipe which 15 expected to be perfectly woa- ter-tight.

No dangerous mine al constituents is in our local sup- oly. : i th) Presence of suspended and dis- olved vegetable matters and plants hat feed on tin. These give odor «nd taste to many waters and to the ishiness met with in our water at crtain wens ns.

We drain our sewage into harbor all slong the water front. We take our water from 2,500 feet out from shores We trust the delatia will be so great and the currents strong enough LO keep the sewage away from our in- take. Now till recent times, with an anhroken pipe, we have been reason- ably safe. Put during past three years there has been a marked increase in sewage bulk owing to operation of cor- tain sanitary provisions enforced hy the Board of Health, which has been an increase of solid matter discharg- od of at least one and a hall tons daily.

In chlorination of the water, there is added to the water the clear solu tion resulting from mixing chlorinated lime and water and allowing any par- ticles to settle out. This chlorine wa- ter is a rather powerful disinfectant and is quickly used up in the water, it being impossible to demonstrate any {ree chlorine fifteen minutes after its addition to the water, the chlorine be ing quickly transformed into chlorides (of which ordinary salt is commonest type). The amount to be added will patugally vary with the amount of material in water to be destroyed, but 1 believe that we are using mow about eight pounds to a million gallons, (This means that if a person dra two quarts of water per day that he would be taking one-fortieth grain of chlorinated lime each day, or to put it another way. one pound of chlorin- ated lime would disinfect two quarts of our city water daily for abowt THO years): To be efficient the chlorine must come in contact with water to he disinfected, and, of course, must penetrate sny particle. These are me- chanical problems entirely and are for solution by the engineers. The question of mechanical or rapid sand filtration is mow to the fore m view of action of 'our local board of health. in demanding the city council to take action thereon. In this sys. tem there 1 added to the water a small amount of alum, this unites with the chalk dissolved in the water (and which is always present in our water) dnd a precipitate forms. The water is then forced through large cy- linders two-thirds filled with sand. The precipitate in water quickly forms a scum on sand surface and holds par- ticles of all kinds evén the minute bae- terial particles. In this way up to ninety-nine per ceat. of the bacteria would be removed and ail larger sus pended. matter and a clear bright wa- ter would be secured.

Kingston, Nov. 22.---(To the Edi: tar)---In your issue of Thursday Nov. 21st, the article entitled "Mc- Gill's Physical Test" was a very mis leading one, and contained state ments which were not true. It stated for examiple that in Queen's and Toronto universities. 'Compal sory training is still unknown." For some years physical training hag been compulsory to the first yea students in Science ana this year the plan was extended to all first year students, both men and women. pe Lh in This is a mistake. upon a bargain sale. Further the article says: "Ther fs no medical test." Every year student, however, has or will be examined' by the eminently qualified medical - supervision recently ap- pointed, Dr. Etherington, who, eonjunction with the physical d.rse tor, will prescribe the exeiciie re- quired.
