The lecturer was | showing how the span of 'human | life had been "lengthened eighteen | years in America, during the past seventy years. To illustrate what could be done by scientific feeding and care, he showed how the life span of a species of mosquito was lengthened almost fifty per cent. Of course the biggest gain in extending life's span was made by saving the lives of infant children. In past years nearly half the children born, died before they reaghed their first birthday, whereas to-day only about eight children in every hundred fail to reach their first birthday. Then diphtheria and other chil~ dren's diseases that formerly carried. off thousands yearly, were now prac- tically under control. A little later in life came the tend- ency to tuberculosis, and we all know how the present treatment of fresh air, and good food has taken tuberculosis from the head of the list as a cause of death. Thus it is the success the profes- gion has 'attained in caring for the infant, the child, and the youth, that fs responsible for the lowering of the death rate, and thus lengthening life's span. ~I'm afraid this gives us a very comfortable feeling, and helps us tb forget that many of our most valuable citizens are cut off at, or just past middle age. The causes of death are usually from heart, kidney or blood vessel conditions, although cancer is re- sponsible also for a great many. And so the profession now is turning its attention from the ailments of youth, to the allments of these mid- dle aged persons. There is no question but that some of the trouble is due to neglect of conditions that could have been re- moved at an earlier age, but as the fighting ability of tB& body was good these things never got to the top. One writer has well said that these conditions are more often than not the effect of wear and tear of tissue, rather than the result of infection. They reflect the type of personal hygiene practised by the individuals. Just think of that. The cause of death in middle aged persons, the cause that is preventing our life span from being what it could be, is simply the unhygeinic living of in- telligent people. And yet all that personal hygeine means is proper eating, enough rest, and some real exercise, Some NATURE LORE By Wallace Havelock Robb. When the old woodsman found out that I would give up a good meal any day, for a good wild life story, he told me one that happened only last year. The Boy Scouts of a certain sec- tion of Montreal, were in camp on a nice lake in the Laurentian Moun- tains. Our friend happens tp live in a shanty not far from where the camp was located, so the boys got into the habit of visiting with him. The boys showed spme of their wood lore to the old man and got his confidence, so he took them over to the lake and pointed out a par- ticular high rock on the shore and told them to fish for trout ther®, in the evening and they would be sure to get some fish. He told this to only two or three of the boys. The very next day, the father of one of the boys came up to see the camp and, after he had seen all the different things that boy 'scouts can do, the evening drew on and his son suggested a fishing trip over to a secret spot he knew about. Hg sald this to his daddy in a very impres- sive way and let it be known that boy scouts are on the job ali the time. Well, Dad and son were in the flat bottomed boat, one at each end, fishing in the deep dark hole near the high rock, and had caught sev- eral fine trout, when, without a word of warning or any sound whatever in advance, up popped a magnificent loon, right beside the boat at the boy's end. prised squak, cut short by a attention from him, decided to launch a great attack against Can- | ada. - For this purpose Seven veteran regiments were despatched to Bos- ton under command of General Hill, an incompetent court favorite, the | fleet being commanded by Admiral | Walker, 'another ° incompetent. At Boston the attack was organized and | the great aramada, composed of | nine ships of war, two bomb ketches, | sixty transports, store and hospital | ships and nearly twelve thousand men sailed on July 30th. They ran {nto difficulties in the Bt. Lawrence being without pilots who knew the river and lost si¥ transports and nearly a thousand men at Isle aux Oeufs. On August 25th they held a great council of war at which both leaders showed a keenneds for giving up the expedition. It was decided to quit the St. Lawrence and give up an expedition hich was almost certain of succesy had it been per- sisted in. * [ PRODUCE MARKETS GRAIN QUOTATIONS. Toronto.
