The value of this tmber, as it stood in the forests, was over thirty-five mil- lion dollars. In addition to this enor- | mous fire-swept area over four inil- lion acres of young growth was swept olit of existence, value at $17,921,000. On what are caled cut-over lands from which the matured timber has been taken but containing considerable value in young growth, 2,500,000 acres were destroyed by five with a conser- ative valuation of $2,700,000. The | Dominion Forestry Branch makes the total of destroyed forests in excess of ten mililon acres, with a valuation of $56,560,000, Added to this is a prop- erty loss in excess of $13,000,000, also f cost of fire fighting, $2,500,000, mak- ing a grand total of $72,806,000 in the five year period. ; These figures, while bad enough in thesclves, are not a complete state- "ment of the economic loss to Canada "through forest fires. In the forest in- i dustry more than in any other the cost {of the manufactured product is made 'Ap of labor charges. Hence destruc- tion of present and future timber crops involves direct loss of the means of sustenance of an important part oi our population. Soil deterioration fol- lowing forest fires has never been es- timated but decreased production over enormous areas means a great set- back to the futuer prosperity of Can- ada. These Josses cannot go on indefin- Litely if Canada's forest industries, ac- » counting for a production of wealth | amounting to 500 million dollars a year, are to remain in operation. The | present way we are travelling leads | straight to destruction as far as ous forest resources are concerned.

MIDDLETON Dr. Middleton will be glad to answer all questions on Public Health matters through this column. Address him at Spadina House, Spadina Crescent, Torento, Ont. In Gr:at Britain alone the adr waste attributable to disease amounts to $100,000,000 yearly according to a statment recently made by Viscount Astor in the House of Lords. This is no idle talk made without due con- sideration, for Lord Astor has for a long time ben interested in Social Re- form and. knows whereof he speaks. in some parts of the British Isles where it has been found that there are more than two million slum houses in which people were compelled to live in a state of "positive indecency." Protesting against present condi- tions, Lord Astor declared that there are few things more costly than slums, which breed immorality, discontent and revolution. He added that the British Isles had little to fear in the way of a revolution, but he would lose faith in the people if they be- came reconciled to conditions under which they live at the present time. The Archbishop of York, who sup- ported Viscount Astor in his protest, though that the average working- man's home should contain three bed- rooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a sitting room or living room. Bishop Southwark, who lives in the East End of London, declared that bad housing 'was a fertile ground for agitators against the present system. Though perhaps in a less degree, the same conditions prevail in our Cama- dian cities. ~ There is far too much overcrowding, far too many areas that are so congested as to merit the name of "slums". When one realizes how injurious slums areas are, not only to the health and morals of those who live there, but also to the general ap- pearance and general welfare of the entire community, the wonder is that municipalities do not exert more effort to have slum areas eliminated alto- gether. Of course there are difficul- ties in the way of removing slums and houses that are practically unfit for human habitation: there may be such congestion of population = that apart from their slum dwellings there is absolutely no place to house them. Again, the cost of removing the slum areas may be so expensive as to pre- vent the municipality from undertak- ing the work, and so the disagreeable surroundings continue to exist. In our Canadian cities there is un- doubtedly much overcrowding. Rents have to be divided and subdivided to provide accommodation that will con- form to the needs of the pocketbook. And oftentimes the space thus pro- vided is hopelessely inadequate. Es- pecially objectionable is this state of affairs in the winter. time, when the artificially- heated air in houses be- comes. very impure and unfit for breathing, owing to the congestion of people, some of whomm are habitu- ally indoors. Apart from lung trouble which often has its origin in ill-ven- tilated, unsanitary dwellings, the com- mon cold s very prevalent and may result in bronchitis, pneumonia, and other diseases. Added to the danger of contracting illness of one kind or another is the discomfort of living, which results in idssatisfaction with social conditions generally, and often is the mateh that lights the torch of revolution and revolt. Proper and adequate housing of the people is one of the most important function functions of civilized govern- ment at the present time.
