Reports from infant death centres, the National Baby Week Council, edu- cational and child welfare officials form one long panegyric of the 1929 baby. "They are super-babies," said an in. fant welfare centre official, "sturdy, bright and intelligent to a degree 'which would stagger their forefathers. The modern baby is more advanced at |' three months than the pre-war baby at twelve months, Befora the war the average haby fed and slept until he was two years old." "Why is it?" said a nurse at an In- fant hospital. "Simply because we leave the modern baby alone and do not coddle it. Give fit light, airy clothes, proper food, plenty of. sun, and then leave it alone." Besides schoolrooms nurseries, kin- dergartens. are better planned nowa- days.

We are no longer anxiously watching America. We are watching France, who has been busy converting her foreign balanes, dollars and sterling, into gold. It is alleged that the movement is the result of the shifting of private balances, but In- quiries go to show that official bal- ances, the balances of the French Treasury, are also being moved to Paris. Whatever the cause of the movement, it is occasioning serious ehmbarrassment to this country, This country has made great sacrifices for the gold standard. It .is doubted whether the industrialists and busi ness men would have agreed to return to gold at the pre-war parity, had they been able to foresee its consequences to industry, But we relied upon the rest of the world to play the game as we did.

Protection Which Means Much Diphtheria is disease which| is particularly dangerous in childhood. There are very few deaths from this disease among grown-ups; it takes its greatest toll from among young children. In Ontario to-day there is no excuse for any child staring school without protection] against diphtheria; ter the reason that science has perfected a preventive which is supplied free of charge to physicians for the use of all children within the province. Toxoid is the name of this preventive; is given In three doses three weeks apart injected into the skin of the forearm. | Mothers and fathers would be will ing to risk their lives to save a baby even if it meant pulling him from the rallway track in face of an approach- ing train or dashing in front of a rac- ing motor car, Yet the danger of diphtheria is an ever-present one for the unprotected child from one to ten years of age, _ Toxold is a proven protection against this danger of! childhood; it 1s insurance for the child and the parent--and 1s supplied free by the Department of Health of Ontario, _.hk UPON THE MOUNT | Parents who bave children enter-| ing school for the drst time this fall ¥ 3 RED ROSE ORANGE PEKOE is extra good A French Gesture Manchester Guardian (Lib.): It 1s -- Classified Advertisements pleasant to hear that a Di dort architect has been appointed to the Chair of Architecture and Town-plan- ning at the Sorbonne. . . .
