Rotary Clubs of America have madu their special obligation, arouses 2 | wider and deeper sympathy, declages the Syracuse, N.Y., Post Standard. Rotary has 85,000 members in the United States and Canada, busy men who are not, however, so immersed in business that they do not glva time and thought and money to fu!l- fill the golden rule. 1f they were given entirely to their own affaiie, they would not be in Rotary. The 85,000 expect this year to look afiqr 300,000 children, who have crooked! limbs, or twisted backs, to relieve their injury or deformity so far as it can be relieved; to train them to earn a living and to enjoy life, to provide hospital treatment for the babies that they may be permanently cured." The International Society for Crippled Children has been form- ed With headquarters at Elyria, O., to do the work. There is no nobler work than the Rotary has made its own. MEAT DIET NEEDED. The fact that man cannot live by | bread alone is demonstrated by a noted physician, who points out that! the healthy must be fed with pro- ducts that will yield red blood with | iron. Bread, cereals and vegetables will not suffice. We have been un- der the impression that the eating | neat tends to produce poison in the | system and cause hardening of the | arteries. This idea is passing away because it is proved erroneous. Cer- | tain monks who vegetarians have shown a far higher percentage of hardening of the ar-| terles as the result of their mode of ! living than meat eaters. So we may | | how partake of beef with more con- i idence and acquire that ruddy Eng- | lish complexion that 'we used to| | think was the result of much walking | and the sea air, but whi:h is just | [from constant eating of beef. Iu | | our climate, a proper mixture of foods is necessary to make a healthy { man, and to properly nourish the { body we need to eat beef, pork and | bacon as well as bread, cereals, vegetables and fruits. We are learn- | ing that there is more than a spirit- {ual meaning in the words of the | Great Master that "man cannot liva | by bread alone." rt RADIO'S FUTURE. | Crape-hangers are predicting that | the radio craze is booked to fizzle | out, They are wrong. Unquestion- | ably, interest in radio is going | through a decided slump. It is a | natural reaction. The novelty i; {| wearing off. Radio is becoming com- | monplace, Only a few months ago | 1t was as great a marvel as the ar- i rival of a man from Mars. think that the slump in wireless en- thusiasm is due to summer. Their theory is that pecple want to be out- doors now in the evenings as much as possible. In autumn, the manu- facturers predict, radio will come back stronger than ever. An old hand-bill comes to light in the eastern states, advertising one of the early telephone demonstrations at the city hall in Lawrence, Mass., May 28th, 1877. The hand-bill reads. "The miracle telephone! Wonder- ful discovery of the age! Prof. A. { Graham Bell, assisted by Mr. Fred- | eric A. Gower, will give an exhibition of his wonderful and miraculous dis- covery, The Telephone, before the people of Lawrence, when Bost)n and Lawrence will be connected via the Western Union Telegraph, and vocal and instrumental music and conversation will be transmitted a distance of twenty-seven miles and received by that audience in the city hall. Prof. Bell will give an explani- tory lecture with this marvellous ex» hibition." The telephone, considered a mar- vel, swept popular fancy overnight. Then it had a slump. Many predict- ed that the telephone craze would die out quickly, just as similar pro- dictions are being made now about radio. But the telephone hasn't died out. Neither will radio. It is as much in its infancy as Bell's phone was in 1877. INFANT MORTALITY. To the Child Welfare Station per- haps belongs a good deal of the cred- it for improwing Kingston's infant mortality rate. Since the war and the flu scourge, the value of infant life has impressed itself more upon people, and greater care than ever before. is being taken in the upbring- ing of babies. However, it must be admitted that infant deaths in many cases cannot be avoided, no matter how well the scientific rules of up- bringing may be carried out. Where the sins of the parents have descend- ed to the offspring, and where the physical foundations are exceeding- ly faulty, the death of such unfort- unate little human beings is not to be deplored, but is generally a blessing. Better for themselves and for the race that they should pass quickly and quietly. Medical science to-day is, however, keeping alive many an infant whose only future is imbecil- ity or suffering. The conservation of infant life includes the saving of the hopeless defectives as well as the normal babies, aithough these ' 'at | care will not remedy serlotis physical were pronounced | Manufacturers of radio equipment are doctors who have defied this or- | thodox view and refused to use their expert skill to prolong the days of infants who would only lin to suffer or to make others while suffer. Parents have learned that because a baby is big and healthy, it must not be allowed when a year or two old to sit in a chair at the table and eat pork and corn with the.rest of the family. It must be brought up on infant food, and the boiling of all milk and water given to infants is as requisite as the keeping of the Ten Commandments by the true Christ-| fan. There is no need of so much talk about contaminated water or milk supply causing infant trcubles, when all that parents have to do is to boil the water and the milk and once eliminate the danger. It is gratifying to note that King- ston's infant mortality is decreasing. | In 1920 it was 2.9 per cent. With greater care this percentage can be reduced, but must not ovifook the fact that the most perfect/milk ana defects at birth, When we speak of lowering the infant mortality, we can only deal with infants that are fairly normal. i i BAA AAA Our Canadian Question And Answer Corner Q.--What js '"cattalo"? | A.--A 'cattalo" is the name of a cross-bred animal in Canada, from the buffalo and cow, resulting in an animal larger than the domestic cow, with good beef qualities.

Belch re- moves cne of Picton's pioneer busi- ness men. Mr. Belch was born at Belleville, but for the last fifty years had been in the grocery business in| Picton. For many years he was a| lealing spirit in the volunteer fire | brigade. Recently Mr. Belch took a trip to Vancouver to visit his son | Fred. He had not been enjoying | good health and hoped the trip would be beneficial. He stood the | journey westward well, but on the] return trip he was taken ill coming | through the Rockies. He reached | home a little over a week ago but | failed to rally and passed away at Prince Edward County Hospital, He | was seventy-two years of age. His | wife predeceased him about three | years. Three sons survive him, Fred at Vancouver, and Harry and George who conduct the grocery business in Picton. Was a Capable Man, News reached Wellington that Gordon E. Matthews had died at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Mec- Dougall, Lakeport, near Colborne. Mr. Matthews had been in failing | health for some time, owing to heart | disasee. He was taken to Lakeport about two weeks ago. The late uor- don Matthews was a capable busi- ness man, and was well known and highly respected. He was manager of the Dominion Canners' Factory, No. 45, Wellington. The interment was at Lakeport. The deceased was thirty-seven years of age, and leav- es a widow, and one brother, William Matthews, Toronto, and two sisters, Mrs. McDougall, Lakeport and Mrs. Wilson in Saskatchewan. Railway Rates Extended. Harvester's excursion railway rates have been extended from Aug. 23rd to Aug. 30th to all persons de- sirous of going to Manitoba to help in the harvest work there. The local employment agent has received not- ice from Ottawa that Manitoba is asking for 2,000 farm hands and he is asked to report to Ottawa daily the number leaving for Manitoba. He is authorized to issue a certific- ate to the bearer who will be entit- led to the harvester rate to Winni- peg plus half a cent per mile from that point to his destination, Visitors at Moscow.

Skel- ton, dean of the Faculty of Arts at Queen's University, written while he was in Vienna, describe the condi- tions among the poorer classes as ap- palling and deplorable. Dr. Skelton is making a comprehensive tour of Europe and is studying more espe- cially social conditions in the vari- ous cosmopolitan centres. It is prob- able that he will visit Moscow before returning to Canada.
