Ni TRIUMPHS OVER DISEASE. There can be no doubt that the combined research work of the chem- ist, the bivlogist, the pathologist and the physician is bearing fruit in both a better understanding of disease and the discovery of ways to combat its malignant action on human life. It seems improbable, for example, that capcer, which has now reached such large proportions as a cause of death, can much longer withstand the forces which are being arrayed against it. Meanwhile, some of the dread which has prevailed with respect to this disease will be softened by recent discoveries. The belief has been common, even among surgeons, that cancer was | day.

Qile medical practice was applied to the whole fleld of human suffering, it whs unavoidable that adequate time( could not be given to, the in- vestigation of a single disease, or to éven one aspect of that disease. Means have now been found, through the bemefactions of men and women of large resources, for the establish- ment of laboratories and the setting aside of highly trained specialists for inquiries along certain definite lines. Human genius is thus being equipped for further victories over those de- structive agents which prey on hu- man life, ? OUR DAIRYING INTERESTS. The National Dairy Council, an or- ganization of dairymen extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific, exists in addition to the provineial organizations, Its chief functions are to keep track of the general dairy interests of Canada; to propose any new or amended legisiation that they think is required; and to see that the law is observed. Their work is of an éducational character, but it is keenly on the look out for anything | that would prejudice the industry. Atdording to Hon. W. R. Mother- wall, Minister of Agriculture, some adulterating has been going on, chiefly with cocoanut ofls. Very little is doné in the créameries, but in the cities there are people who make a business of buying butter and aduiterating it, a praétice which calls for the severest penalties: The minister spoke frankly on the matter of dairying some time ago and practically told the dairymen of Ontarié and Quebec that unless they Improve the quality of their butter, the first thing they knew, Australia and New Zealand would be opening Wwarehousés In Toronto and Montreal 4nd other large céntsés and offering their goods to Canadians. He did Bot know that that would be an un- mized evil, dut it would be rather a» strong comméntary on the quality of our Nome made butter If Austrélla could do such a thing successfully, There is Improvement in sight and Ontario has taken the first required Step toward better results dy pro- vidiag for a good raw product ~ Therh Will never be a glut of first class WAGES FOR PRISONERS. The State of New York pays its { prisoners wages for work performed, This it has been doing since 1919 on {the recommendation of the Prisom { Industries Board, and as well-inform- {ed and judicial a man as Adolph Lewisohn declares the system has | been amply vindicated by results. | Under the law as approved five years {ago the workers are entitled to 70 | per cent. of the net profits on the in- | |dustries. They are required, how- ever, to pay the cost of thir main. | tenance, which is estimated at 30 | cents per day. Under that arrange- ment the earnings of prisoners [amount to from 45 to 55 cents per ers of other classes. Prison authorities in Canada have {of a similar plan to our peniten- | tiaries; but it has always been met | by opposition. | The labor unions have peérsistently contended that it would be unfair to them. In the | State of New York the same situation | obtained for a long period. In the { end, however, the preponderance of { opinion was in its favor, and each | year since 1919 those who are most | competent to express a judgment | have spoken in strong terms of ap-| | proval. The predicted industrial dis- | turbance seems not to have occurred. | THE DELUGE AT DAYTON. | It already seems probable that the { trial of John T. Scopes, at Dayton, mere debate, accompanied by the | usual deluge of words. The point | primarily at issue, as between the de- | tendant and the state, has been lost sight of even at this early stage, and a controversy over evolution and | Christianity put in its place. Under such conditions, absolutely nothing will be settled. Evén if the judge who is presiding at the trial should assume to give a decision in the mat- er, it would have no effect whatever n public judgment. It would not rise in slgnificance above a mere per- sonal opinion. As has already been decided by serious minds, the entire proceeding is a farce. While the setting is given that dignity which a court of law im- parts, the so-called "trial" bears all the essential characteristics of the once popular schoolhouse debate on the priority of the.egg over the hen. Public controversies' on religious dogmas of one sort and anothér also had their day; and there were peo ple who got excited about them and believed they were important. But we should have ample cause for de- spair if we have not gg¢t far beyond that sort of thing abr'this stage of elvilization. : With the departure from contro- versial habits has come a disposition to be tolerant." Men are less disposed to be dogmatic than they were three or four centuries ago, or even fifty years ago. Perhaps a bettérmient in that regard might be identified dur- ing the last quarter of a century; and that is a very encouraging and reassuring sign of true progress. It dogmatism as to truth in any of its manifestations) could be crystallised into law, civilization would stand still. Jt was tried at one time, and all advance was arrested. The re- cent union of three denominational bodiés in Canada is a striking proot of growing liberality of thought. Those timorous souls who share Mr. William Jennings Bryan's opine ion, that the Dayton trial will deter: mine whether evolution or Christian. ity is to survive, will be apprehen- sive. They need not be. It would be utterly impossible for any judge and jury to give a verdict which would have that momentous effect. To even suggest that evolution and Christinnity are irreconcilable would not command the assent of many men whose adherence to the ancient faith is unhshakable. Whether the story of creation in Genesis is liter- ally historical or allegorical could, in the spirit of modern breadth of thought, be reverently and earnestly argued without touching on the fun- damentals of Christianigy. The chief danger of what is tran- Spiring at Dayton is to be found in the publicity which is being given to the arguments of counsel on either side. There will not be a serious ahd honest weighing of statements, 80 much as the taking advantage of the opportunity to startle and catch the public eye. The form which the trial has taken, and the attendance at court of a host of special press correspondents, lends itself to all a " with blood upon his garments knock- {ed at the gate of Campbell's High- land castle' of Inverawe, and begged | protection from the pursuers at his | heels.

When seventy men are poisoned by ¢ substance, ten of whom dis, the workers using such a substance na- turally want to see something done about it. I am referring to this [Mguid known as Tetra-sthyl lead | vent "knocking" in a motor engine. The motor car is here to stay, and | every improvement of sams "is wel- | comed by everybody, but when this is | costing the lives of many, the health | of emany more, and possibly injury to futuré generations, then it is time to pause. This matter has become so im- portant that an international c¢on- gress is being held regarding it, to which hundréds of delegates are | coming to the United States this | year. This liquid tested out on animals was shown to possess the power to pass readily through the skin, and cause acute poisoning. Inhalation of fumes likewisa caused poisoning. In animals so poisoned the lead was tound deposited in the bony skels- ton. It was the men themselves manu- facturing this substance that first started the agitation, then garage men became effected from the use of this fluld in the gasoline. Then later the mén at the service stations who were putting it into the gaso- line tank when supplying the gaso- line found that they were becoming affected by the fumes. And now the committee will investigate the effects upon the general public from the ex- haust gases of motors using this anti- knocking gas. If has been found that where there is not somplete pro- stration and death, that the effect of the fluid is to cause gleeplebsness, low blood pressure, temperatura be- low normal, "and loss of appetite. It is really similar to a chronic lead poisoning. With our desire for speed, and Smooth running motors, a natural desire in itself, it would cgrtainly be a terrible calamity if-We were getting these at the ost of the lives and health of Sur workmen. And still further, If the liquid should come into general use, our highways would become an actual danger'to the community, It 18 certainly gratifying that our manufacturers, workmen, physicians, and social workers are getting to- gether about this. "NATIRE LORE Wallace Havelock Robb Do wild things reason and think things out as wé humans do? That is the question. Ot course there are great ditfer- ences in different birds and animals. We were talking yesterday about the wisdom or stupidity of wild ducks. Here is a good story, and a true story. Owing to the falling off in wild Ht ducks on the western prairies, a great hunter out there conceived the idea that he would breed ducks and start a system of increasing them. 80 our hunter got some wild dukes, both male and female. He put them In & fenced yard, put leather harness on the wings, and the show was started. He had been feeding these wild but harnessed ducks, for some time, when he noticed a new wild male among them. This new male was a surprise.
