Folk, of New York, president of 'he National Association for. the Study aud Prevention of Tuberculosis, has scored the doctors and the press for the part they have played in the Friedman campaign. The doctors flocked around the German physician, as they bad a right to do, as he was believed to have a cure for ponsump- tion, and they made the most of their opportunity in using his serum on the largest possible number of patients. Mr. Folk says the public looked to the medical profession for a clea word upon the alleged cure and it has not beem given. He does not read all that has been said upon the subject or he would see that th¢ time has not yet tome for a final or emphatic de liverance. The Public Hedlth Service Commission at Washibgton declares that "no specific; cure for tuberculosis has been discovered that deserves the confidence of the medical profession and the public." At; the same time it is admitted that the | commission is not in a position to pass upon the cases which have been treated by Friendmany; and cases that ave still under observation. Mr. Folk animadverts upon. the press because it has given ¥Gore. I, | rein prominence to the Friedmann oi; SOIR oY says this publicity has impeded Saf work | of his association. 'Only !™ those," he writes, "who have heen en- gaged from day to day in inducing state and local authorities to appro- priate funds for tuberculosis dispen- wsaries, nurses, sanatoria and hospi tals can appreciate how vastly moro dificult 'this task' has been made in the last few months by the extremely effective press agents of Dr. Fried mann."

There may, too, be some gain in having an alternative in the matter of material, and this alternative, asphaltic con- crete, would have been prevented at the ittee meeting but for the llness of the one who had the pe- tition in hand. The Whig has asked about asphaltic concrete and has been shown a sam- ple. "In some respects it'is like wtulithi¢, and presents a surface which will stand a great deal of wear without the danger of da or dis- placement when blocks of any kind are used. Asphaltic concrete is the cboice'of Lindsay, in preference to all vther materials, and Senator McHugh says it has beep used in paving a- round the parliament buildings, at Ottawa for years, and given satisfaction.

Dickie, of the Reading Camp Association, preached in Cal- vary church on Sunday morning and took a3 his text Luke X, 36: "Which now of these three thinkest thou was ne'ghbor unto him that fell am ng the thieves." After telling the story of the good Samaritan, the speaker said the same difficulty bas always been re- cognized. Few can see beyond their own circle of fricnds. Tae Samari- tan could have passed the man by just as the wevite and priest had done but he could fee! for the man who needed his sympathy and help. Jesus sp aks to us and wants us to widen our vision. We have in Canada a number' of nationalities, especially in our fron- tier camrs along the ra'lways, who need sich men as Rev. Alfred Fitz- patrick, a craduate of Queen's Uni- versity, who is spending th: most of his time and money in leading such men to a nobler manhood. There are now fifty-five young men engaged in this missionary work, but there is rcom for many more if we only had the resources of putting more missionaries among this for- eign element.

'these camps would be in a much worse condition if it were not for the men who labor among them and teach some of the more apt foreicners not only the language, but truths which they in turn can teach their fellow workmen. ! If these men are to become good citiz-ns, we are to set them a stan- dard such as would be worthy a Christian. Song services are often held among these men and that with their labor day by day often lead them to a better way of living: Employers of labor are anxious to have missionaries work among thes. foreigners, but they often have dis- advantages not only perhavs in sev- eral different languages, but often in as many forms of worship. Fifty per cent. of these foreigners often return to their pative land, as the Bulgarians did a short time azo when the "bugle call' summoned them to protect their country.
