The medical men of Chicago, through the Bolinger case, have in-| vited » great deal of publie criti ism, and opinion is strangely divided up- on the point at issue, It is whether a surgeon should exercise his judg- ment co entiously and refuse to apply his knowledge or skill in any case when the temporary relief. Dr. Heilsenden realized shortly after the birth of the Bollinger boy that he could not live without an-op- eration. The babe was mentally and morally defective. To confirm his judgment Dr. Heilsenden odh- sulted with fifteen other medical men, and all of theg declined to op- erate, saying that is position was the correct one. Two hours be- fore the child died, one of these sur- geéons asked for permission to oper- ite, but, said Dr. Heilsenden, 'the child was then dying and it was against my ethics to operate upon a dying person." A jury of doctors was empanelled and their verdict was that an opera- tion would haye prolonged and per- haps saved e life of the child; that there was no evidence which warranted the conclusiop that the child would eventually be mentally and morally defective; that ethical- result can only be ly a surgeon is within his rights to| refuse to operate when he cannot do 80 conscientiously: dhat in all doubt- ful cases there should be consulta- tions with other experienced sur- geons; and that it is the higNest duty of the physician to relieve suf- fering and prolong life. That is the opinion of the pro- fessional men generally. Will they regard it as a final deliverance? The doctor is called in to succour and save life, and aparently it is not for him to reason whether the life, if saved, will be worth while. Dr. Heilsenden says there are thousands of doctors in the United States who would like to know what the State requires of them in cases of this kind. How can a State mak A judgment which will be definit and binding for all times? : ---------- REJECTED BECAUSE UNFIT. The young men in the andience-- the young men of military ambition and physical unfitness--resented the prods of a certain speaker in a Tor- onto audience, There was no ex- ception in the applicgtion of his lash. He was after the shirkers, and he did not hegitate, because wounded and battered and "bruised, and returned invalided from the front, to make his hearers wince under the stings of his reproaches, It was then that one of them rose in a froit seat to protest. This one sid he would gladly don the nuiform and go to the front, but the doctors had rejected him. . + This, emphasizes another point of the greatest value. It is that over 5.- 900 men have so fir been rejected in Toronto alone, or nearly enough te . constitute five regiments. Only the _ best physically have been so far ac- cepted, and "the cause for rejection is sometimes very trivial. Prestatly there may be a modificaion of fhe rules which govern in these cases, ®nd the men who are willing to serve, though not physically fit, will be given places, if pot. commissions, in the forces. The enemy is not any lon ver reserving the honors of war for \%e physically coimplete. - It is glad to pvt any man who can fight ~ for his country, and when the supply of men is exhausted it takes the boys. : ; The "wastage" . of human life is ~ yery great.

To-day, November 25th, Andrew Carnegie, the millionaire and famous philanthropist, enjoyed his eightieth { birthday He has carried his years well; but 'he /has failed considerably during recent months through ill- ness, and is now much feebler than he was a year ago, though still cheery and optimistic. His has been |a wonderful career, financially, and it shows more than that of any other man what can be accamplished when one is progressive, aggressive, clear- headed and economical, characteris- cultivated by Mr. Carnegie to the fullest extent Mr. Carnegie looks back with hon- est pride to the time when he, as the son of a poor man in Fifeshire, Scot- land, began his livelihood at eleven years of age, and as a bobbin boy in a linen factory. His wages were very small. He later in American, to which he removed soon after- wards, had charge of a small station- ary engine. _He passed rapidly to other positions, namely, messenger | ator, railway employee, superinten- | dent of a railway division, and dur- ting the war was the superintendent fof telegraphs. In every place he | was careful and industrious. As a | money maker he had his first great | start as a manufacturer of sleeping | cars He put all he had into this | business, and in one contract made a | profit of $200,000. He invested 1$40,000 of this money in oil, and | made $1,000,000. | ANDREW CARNEGIE'S BIRTHDAY | tics and qualities which have been | | main neutral 'even in thought." for a telegraph office, telegraph oper- | As an iron work- | | er and the owner of severai millions | | hi- wealth rapidly increased, until lat the time he sold out to the Mor- gan Syndicate he received for his property $420,000,000. idea that it w wrong to die rich, and so he began the feat of giving away millions every year. ,To li- braries he contributed $6,000,000; to the Carnegig Corporation, New Cause of Peace, $15,000,000; to the Church, $2,000,000; Peace Palace, $200,000; America's Peace Palace, $750,000; ~4a Pensions, $4,000,000; to the Hero's Fund, $10,000,000; to Dum- ferline, Scotland, for park purposes, $4,750,000; to Pittsburg, for various purposes, $27,000,000. * What his present fortune is no one knows, but it is still very large, and some time ago it was said that his wealth was growing as fast as he could give it away. Mr Carnegie is a member of many societies, the bearer of many honor- ary degrees from colleges, and the writer of several books, but he re- mains withal a plain man, whose best companion is his wife, and who de- sires nothing so muck as the good opinion of his fellow men. With ail his eccentricities, and he has many, he lives in the affections of a very large number of people, and to-day lie must have been deluged with con- gratulatory messages. to Central EDITORIAL NOTES. | Mayor Martin, of Montreal, sued L'Action for libel, and lost his case. Fooling with the buzz-saw again. Some of the Presbyterian churches have voted strongly for union, but in the east particularly the cause has suffered by a delay in the vote and the failure to revive a waning cause. The Minister of Militia refers to Col. Lavergne as a nice boy, a nice chap. What is there nice about him? His refusal to serve his coun- try in a military capacity should force him to forfeit his position in the militia. What right has he to sport about in a uniform when he will not fight?

Of course the children were delighted and wanted to know if their day, Eric was invited too. | When her father said he was to go too, Ethel ran to get a- ribbon to tie on Eric's neck so he would be all dressed to go. That made them all laugh but Ethel said she didn't care. They arrived at Aunt Abbie's the day before and all were up bright and early on Thanksgiving morning. Eric didn't know what to make of it all and ran around the farm poking his nose into all the strange places he could find. When he came to the pen where four big, fat turkeys gob- blers 'were strutting about, he began to bark and poke his nose through the slats of the pen. This didn't please one big turkey and he flew at the dog and pecked at him with his beak, making a long scratch on r Eric's nose. The dog ran yelping "Low Cost of towards the house and hid under the kitchen table where the cook found him trying to lick his nose to make it feel BOF. The children were busy trying to b&'p get dinner so they didn't pay much attention to Eric. Aunt Abbie told Edward that he vould crack the outs and Ethel was. helping' her mother to set the table. At last ev. erything was ready and Aunt Abbie called them to come and eat before everything grew cold. Foor Eric smelled all of the good things and crawled out from under the table just in time to see the chil- dren's father carrying the turkey on a platter to the table, Eric teok one look at the turkeyigpg, with a howl ran under the table again. 6 How they all laughed and Edward said: "I guess he thought,it was the same turkey that scratched his nese." Eric could not coaxed from under the table until at last Aunt Abbie had to carry him a big dich of turkey bones, and they smelled so good Eric just had to get over his fright and come out to' eat his Thanksgiving dinncx, with the rost of the family. 1 Living" Menu | Menu for Friday =m BREAKFAST nanas Cereal with Cream French Toast Coffee LUNCHEON reamed Teast Lemon Snaps Cocoa DINNER Corn Broth Baked Finnan Haddie Fruit Salad BREAKFAST Freach Toast--Dip thin slices of stale bread in beaten egg and milk.
