Rheumatism in the child must be recognized as essentially different in its manifestation from’the same in-; fection in the adult. In the latter joint pains predominate, But in the child joint pains are not an eséén- tial part of the clinical picture of rheumatism. Pains may he: present, but they are often go slight a8 to be overlooked, atid in fact they have *S0° often musqueraded as “growing pains.’ Growing ‘pains usually mean rhetimatism.

Chorea or St Vitus dance is by no tricts. A fidgety, restloss, inatten- tive child should always be taken to a doctor. The relationship of tonsilitis to rheumatism has given rise to much discussion and investigation. The Lonnie are always a potential] danger and that when proved to be disensed th should always be remove Pet me stress these two points for the benefit of the school nurse, teacher or parent, or anyone who has the care of children. First that a child may be suffering from,rheu- ill health and second that diseased tonsils may give rise to rheumatism and rheumatic heart disease in children. Next Weck: Heart Disease. APPLE —— ORIGINATOR ESERVED HIGH HONOR An old legend tells of how the bakers of a certain town in England paraded before the king with their pies. As the baker of the pie which pleased the king most was to re- ceive a bag of gold, the bakers tried’ to outdo each other In originality. For instance, one baker made an enormous pie crust filled with flow- ers on which were seated ten child- ren*® who sang for the king. The oth- rs were not far behind in would most ing was very ‘tired and hun- gry when he reached the town, and although he dutifully admired all the beautiful pies, he couldn't help thinking: nat only one of these p could be eaten!” Let it be said that Until this time ples had always been made of meat.

If.this loss was due to careless- ness or indifference on the part.of all producers it would not be regret- table, but it isa fair estimate that $0 per cent. of the producers are de- livering milk and cream from which irst grade Jipete and butter can be made—so this very serjous loss is due to the carelessness and indiffer- ence of about one man in every. ten, but under our present system of op- erating the cheese factories and creameries thé loss is borne by all)“ the producers, which is not fair. Why We Need Grading This is why, the Department of ar cn is” introducing a system cream grading at the creameries and paying for the cream on aj graded basis. A premium of three cents per pound of fat will be paid for first grade cream over second grade, and one cent per, pound of fat for special grade cream over first grade. In this way a peonacre will get paid for the work pnd < he puts on his cream. The valaee and indifferent man will cat paid for just his style of work. Every Province in the Dominion that has adopted this plan of paying for improving the quality of their cream- Jery butter, and the same _ thing ought to apply in Ontario. Cleanli- ness and cooling the cream will pre- vent any lose in price, To Improve Cheese The cheesemakers in the, Province turned out slightly over 91 per cent. first grade cheese in-1925. This is creditable work, but 9 per cent? sec- ond and third grade cheese is cary. ing too great a loss to the cheese 1 te and overripe milk and inefficient —— Many patrons still insist on ayia taking in milk that is not it o make first grade cheese, and many asioey owhers wiil not pay enough wages to secure a first-class maker. hare does not seem to be any work- able system of grading milk for cheese making and paying for it on a graded basis. Until. such a plan is worked out we think all tainted and overripe milk should be rejected and the cheesemakers, should be heartily supported by the factory owners and the patrons in mgr such milk. he men who hav n producing the kind of milk which has enabled us to make the reputation we have for Ontario cheese have suffered orig unjustly long enough. It is o deal with the careless and inditfsrent milk producer in such a manner that he will no longer in- jure the reputation of Ontario cheese or cause saci leases to hish fellow-patrons, Cow The Provincial = ot Agriculture is taking over the cow- testing work if the Province from he Federal ‘Department. Arrange: ments are being , made to test herd samples in thegcreameries and cheese factories throughout the Province: This will give every cheese factory, and creamery patrom an opportuni to have his herd tested. The testing will be done by members of the Pro- vineial dairy staff at a fee of fifty cents per cow per year. The organ- ization work will be under the super- vision of the Agricultural Represen- tative in each county, and applica- tion for entering the work should be made to him. The Provincial Live Stock Branch will look after the im- provement of the dairy herds, Listowel Ministerial. Assoc.
