The ses- sion will stand out with special significance for the temperance and hydro-electric legislation Dassed. The Ontario Temperance Act will do more to enhance the name of Premier Hearst than al- most any other measure that could have been sponsored by the government. It is not Without interest to look back a few months when there were unmistakable signs of the. trend of public Opinion towards prohibition. Notwithstanding this. there was an element in the prov- inceâ€"an element that was not Without considerable influence-â€" that declared the premier would never face the prohibition issue: his own party would repudiate him: if he dared, he would seal his political doom. All of this was current gossip. But the premier has dared, he has survived and will continue to grow in the reâ€" gard of the people of the pl‘OY- ince for the stand he has taken. Perhaps less spectacular but not less in importance was the legislation enlarging the opera- tions of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission, the extension of the service into the Trent Valley (Midlands) district, and the propo- ‘ sal to develop 300,000 horse power by a new installation at Niagara Falls. This legislation was in acâ€" cord With the policy that has been maintained by the government to give every encouragement to the deveIOpment of the hydroâ€"electric cheap power movement. to make available its benefits to all ‘classes. Legislation was also passâ€" ,ed making provision for another step in the movement to build :hvdro-radials, and the announce- ‘ment was made that before long lit is expected that an independent {source of power will be secured in fthe far eastern part of the prov- iince, and thus complete a prov- :ince-wide system of public own- i ership in power franchises. Another move in the same direcâ€" tion was an amendment to the 'municipal drainage act, so that the amount any municipality might put into a local drainage svslem is increased from $30 000 to $b0. 000 land the investment bv the gm- lernment from $350,000 to_ $500,000. The requirements of the rural districts were given careful con- sideration. Hon T. W. McGarry in- troduced legislation to enable mu- nicipalities to deal more exten- sively in drainage debentures. The tile drainage act was passed a few years ago with the object of encouraging farmers to improve their places with prOper drainage. A township could invest up to $40,000 in tile drainage deben- and sell these to the government, which was limited to an invest- ment of $200,000 for the province. As many townships had alreadv reached their limit, the provincial treasurer had the act amended so that each township could issue debentures to $50‘OOO and the province could purchase these to the amount of $500,000. The Legislature Prorogued This added margin for both tile drainage and municipal drainage will encourage the people in many rural sections to instal more ex- tensive drainage works at small cost. The immediate advantage of this has been shown by the inâ€" creased production in districts where preper drainage facilities have been provided. ‘- To deal with the immediate ne- cessities of the war and to prepare for the period of reconstruction when the war is over, the premier brought in a bill empowering the appointment of a select commit- tee of the House to organize the industrial and agricultural resour- ces of the Province and to assist in recruiting. The Lieutenant-Goyâ€" ernor has been made chairman of this committee and its statutory powers are Wide enough to give it an opportunity to render useful service. The committee will act largely in an advisory capacity, and in the meantime the govern- ment will proceed as it did last year and take advantage of every opportunity to assist the Empire and the Allies in the struggle at THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. hand, and shall make such use of the War tax as the conditions from time to time Vagrant.

The minister of agriculture had sever- al measures to improve the quality and quantity of agricultural pro- auction. Nocably among these was an act to improve the quality of dairy products under which the “pooling” svstem of purchasing milk and cream will be discontin- ued, and the producers of high quality milk and cream will get a better price.

Disinfect Your Pets. Many children and adults acquire skin diseases from the household pets. Such diseases as ringworm and bar- ber’s itch are transmitted by the cats and dogs. An epidemic may he start- ed by germs being carried into the home. Every member of the household may develop disease acquired from carelessly petting a stray cat or dog on the street. Dogs are fond of filth. They delight in groveling in heaps of manure or refuse of any kind and for this reason should be regarded with suspicion. The stray pets should be treated to an antiseptic bath before being fon- dled. Your own pet dog after a run out of doors should have a disinfectant bath before it is again permitted to sleep on the lounge or sit upon your lap. Building a House In Japan. In Japan if one wishes to build a house he first proceeds to make cer- tain that the site is “respectable.” If it is not he must have the ground puri- fied. A curious incident of this nature developed not long ago when a native decided to build in Tokyo on the ground formerly occupied by the Ichi- gaya jail. The carpenters would not begin work until the priest had been called in and purified the spot. He brought with him bamboo rods and shimmei and rice and with weird in- cantations turned north. south. east and West. uttering his formula four times and scattering bits of paper and rice at each delivery. The spirits of jail inmates long dead thus propitiat- ed, the carpenters went contentedly to work. In an Ancient Korean Coffin.

The folk songs of Servia are less known outside the murders of that country than the songs of any other nation. but some day a great musician is expected to arise and make the Serviau music known throughout the world. just as the composers of Aus- tria, Vienna and Russia have made their folk songs known. It is in these folk songs that the i Servians express chiefly their devotion ' to their country and their intense pa- ,triotism. There are. of course. love songs, death songs and harvest songs, but it is in these wild patriotic out- bursts that the Serrian spirit is beSt ‘ shown. For the Servian is intensely patriotic. As a nation it is home loving. The principal industry is agriculture, and the natives. on account of the moun- tainous regions, have much of the spir- _ it of the Swiss patriots-Exchange. Sumptuary Laws of Cape Town. Cape Town once lived under so se- vere a code of sumptuary laws that anything like display was restricted to the governor and his immediate circle. Thus runs article 6 of the Dutch laws against luxury and osten- tation: “No one less in rank than 3. junior merchant and those among the citizens of equal rank and the wives and daughters only of those who are or have been members of any council shall venture to use umbrellas.” In practice this restricted the possession and use or umbrellas to about fifty persons in Cape Town.
