The supression and control of the narcotic drug traffic has a world- wide Significance, and Canada, through this department is well to the front in the work accomplished. Approximately 253 pounds of opium. 250 ounces of morphia and heroin and 127 ounces of cocaine were seiz- ed in Canada during the past year. No less than 368 aliens were de- ported from Canada after conviction for various offences under the Act. The problem of patent medicines has for many years been a difficult. one in all countries. where efi’orts were made to systematize and con- trol these products. Within the A medical inSpection of immi- grants is carried on at all ports of arrival and immigrants mentally and physically unfit are prohibited from entry._ The Quarantine Service of a coun- try stands for protection against the introduction and spread of contag- ious diseases. In this connection there are in operation live large completely organized quarantine stations. Every port of entry through its custom ott‘icer acts as a sub-station. Previous to the inauguration of a world-Wide plan for the care of sailors who are sick or injured while. on board ship. it was the practice of many vessels to land sailors at the next port and sail away. leaving them a charge on the community. To overcome. this dif- ficulty a taxis now imposed. ac- cording to tonnage, on all shipe ar- rivin at Maritime posts. and the Cana ian Government assumes the care of all sick or injured sailors arriving at ports of _entry. PUBLIC HEALTH ()ne of the most essential duties of a government is the pi‘OpeP protec- tion of the health of its peOple. This thought. became so forcible in its demand for action that; a De-- partment of Health was. formed at. Ottawa in 1919. its primary factors being derived from other depart- mental branches concerned with health matters. Since its inception the scope of the department has gradually in- creased. and new in Canada‘s Jubilee year. we iind strong, concentrated efi'ort working for the welfare 0t Canadians thrOL gh the medium of the Health Department. The activities of the Red Cross for soldiers did not 'end with the Arm- istice. The need of some line of action to correct the conditions responsible for the large number of unfit men of military age discover- ed m Canada resluted in the ar- rangement of a Peace-Time program of work. So. in addition to its war work. the Red Cross has assumed the duty of educating the nation to better habits of living. In this capacity the society acts as a voluntary auxiliary to the De~ partment of Health. The Red Cross is daily doing “its bit” for those dis- abled in the Great War. Weekly visits are paid the disabled soldiers confined in hospitals and comforts and extras are distributed to relieve the monotony of hospital life. The soldier fretting over his family or his business finds a sympathetic friend in the Red Cross visitor, who leaves nothing undone to relieve the worry. Red Cross convalescent Homes and sheltered workshops. as well as parcels of comforts and necessities for himself and family; give the soldier settler and the un-: employed. not only valuable vaid, but the assurances that his services for the Empire are not without ap- preciation. That health education may he prOperly and permanently taught no fewer than one hundred and thirty eight thousand school child- ren are enrolled in over live thou- sand class rooms under the banner of the Junior Red Cross, pledged to its program of health. service to others and good citizenship. Over five thousand crippled child~ ren have been restored to health as a result of the. pennies saved by contemporaries. The juniors of Al- berta and Saskatchewan have estab- lished 'a children's hospital in their respective provinces. tinder this branch Red Cross fresh air cottages and baby clinics are doing good work. The Society encourages the train- ing and employment of Public Health Nurses and strives to pro- mote the observance of rules for the prevention of disease. It also pub- lishes and distributes health litera- ture. The. Red Cross is always in readi- npss to aid towns and villages humml t0 the grouml and areas swept by forest fires and cyclones. Health education among the adults takes the form of Home Nursing classes nearly twelve thou- sand women and giils haw been in- strtutted in the elements of nursing and the principles of healthy living and hygiene in the home. In the Red Cross Seaport nurser- it‘s at Quebec. St. John and Halifax the immigrant mothers and children are given rest and refreshment on their arrival. Last. year thirty thousand new Canadians were thus welcomed and given advice and as- sistance. In this connection twelve thousand families were kept in touch with by means of follow-up cards. Tlnouwh the medium of its Out« post hospitals and nursing stations the Red Cross proxides skilled pro- fessional senices in unorganized areas. Last year two thousand one hundred and thirty-eight patients were nursed. seven hundred and forty-three of these being confine- ment oases. most of whom would otl‘iemvise have been unattended. There are thirty-nine Outpost Hos- pitals, but if funds were permitted many more would be in operation. PAGE 2.

Shortly, the importance of this question will be brought be- fore the physicians and the Canal- dian public. .Publications dealing with this subject and with Child Welfare have been issued by the department. last few years the number of these preparations on the market under license in Canada has been reduced from approximately 50,000 to 5,500 and all preparations for which ex- aggerated claims are made, or those of foolish or harmful composition have been excluded. m "2m CRISP COMMENT The use of velvet alone or com- bined with other materials is one of the outstanding features of the Fall mode.
