EE EE 3 The common belief in the healthi- ness of farm work is hardly justified by facts, according to the results of an inquiry recently conducted by the Nation Child Welfare Committee of the United States. -Muscular strength may be acquired by farm work, but there is little vigour of the heart, lungs or digestion, produced by exer- cise, and the boys and girls are apt to be round'shouldered and flat chest- ed. This, however, may be due to want of adequate play but the value of play is commonly not appreciated either by city folk or farmers and in count for much.

Children do not play deliberately from ulterior motives; with them it is play for play's sake; 'play is life, they live to play; they tare children because they play." The assumption that a country child living at home is ideally situated is 'held to be erroneous. Indifference to .education, especially 'to school atten- { dance, is manifested, not only by par- ents and children but by the entire { community.

From sensational wolf stories and im- possible adventures the way is opened for investigation that may yet lead to the discovery that here we possess nothing more spectacular than a rich virgin country, less well known than it should be--for its own sake as well bour Manitoba--said country being occupied by a virile if scanty popu- lation, who are industriously develop- ing what will one day be among the richest of the producing sections of the Dominion of Canada. In the mentime, while we are patiently waiting to be discovered, we study, more in sorrow than in anger, the following amazing report in the Wednesday issue of the Winnipeg Tiiinee Fo oko LIQUOR FIRM HEAVILY BACKED . BY DEFUNCT FINANCIAL AGENCY Deposited Used to Finance "Wet" Business Funds. $45 000--Firm Has 5,000 Gallons of : Ajchol on Hand in Warehouse at ! Dryden The United Shippers, Limited, fin- anced to the known extent of $45,000 by the Dominion Ticket and Financial headquarters at Rainy River, and a storage warehouse at Dryden, Ontario, near 'the boundary of Manitoba. Strong suspicion is voiced among the most influential creditors of the bank- rupt concern that its embarrassments ds being made.. ! sity of population there are a great number of small schools with only from ten to twenty pupils on the roll, and the school sessions are sometimes too short. The education of parents is often , very defective. A coal mine operator ,; in Westrn Virginia told a doctor tak- : ing part in the inquiry that he had hired 144 native-born white men living near his property and only 11 of them could sign the pay roll. That, how- ever, was doubtless exceptional as one of the other investigators found in his district that only about 20p.c. could neither read nor write. The number of children engaged in agriculture nearly doubled between 1880 and 1890, and further increased by about a half in the next decade. The trend of the article goes to show that even in country districts, supervision of child life is necessary if normal men and women are to de- velop. Fresh air and natural sur- roundings are beneficial from a health standpoint but these agencies will not suffice in the case of decaying teeth, or in diseased tonsils, or adenoids, or in defects of eyesight and hearing. What is needed is medical and nursing supervison so that the health of the expectant mother can be safeguarded, and the child may have what is its - birthright--to be well born, sound as far as possible, and free from any prenatal influences that may impede its normal growth amd development. Then after birth the child should be fed at its mother's breast, guarded from infectious diseases, and its hy- gienic care and management carried on with intelligence and understand- ing. Nursing supervision and medical { advise should always be available, and physical defects should be correc-; ted before they assume a chronic, state and become so far advanced that they can only be corrected with the greatest difficulty, and sometimes not. at all.

'The creditor referred wo. was of the opinion that the creditors would be fortunate if they received 15 cents on the dollar after all expenses of the liquidation. are paid, and intimated a belief that considerably more than the $45,000 advanced to the United Ship- pers, had been utilized in liquor trans- actions. : : Liquid Assets "The stock on hand in the posses- sion of he United Shippers Limited, consists of 50 hundred-gallon drums of alcohol, a total of 5,000 gallons which it was the custom of the com- pany to ship to points in the United States. " Unless : it can be bootlegged, its normal value is $1 per gallon, but if bootlegged its value can be enhanced to about $40 per gallon according to people familiar with the underground traffic. The, stock is contained in a ware- house, at Dryden which, according to the deputy minister of customs, who was interviewed today by the Tri- 'bune's Ottawa correspondent, is not 3 a bonded 'warehouse and is therefore 'liable to seizure at any time by Ont- ario or federal officers. The . attorney-general's department is inquiring into the agreement re- specting the United Shippers' Liquor company, and if it in any way violates the Manitoba Temperance act, pro- ceedings will be instituted against all parties connected therewith.
