A MEDICAL man has lifted up his pen against the doctrine of open bed- room windows and fresh air, It is far better. he asserts, that a. bedroom should be badly ventilated than that it should be cold. During sleep the1 body requires far less air than when awake and active, but the need for warmth is greater. Animals generally choose close, snug sleeping places (especially in winter) Without reference to the air supply, which fact â€"â€"'the authority considersâ€"shows that} nature does not favor the idea of open windows at night. Bedrooms, it would thus appear. need to be Warm as well as thoroughly ventilated. And in truth, the cold bed and cold bedroom have worked havoc among people of delicate health.

MISS ISLAY CAMPBELL returned last Tuesday evening from her trip to \Vashington along with the contin- gent of Toronto teachers who spent Easter vacation there. She reports having an extremely pleasant time. At Washington they were entertained at the White House by President Rooseveldt who shook hands with each of them and pleasantly address- ed them. Besides Washington they visited Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York and the chief buildings in each including the United States mint where they saw Uncle Sam’s money undergo the various processes of man- i ufacture. By means of swift automo- biles they were able to see most of these cities, parks, etc. by day and by | night.

Far- fc qnharson from Exodus 23:12 dealt with it the Sabbath institution as a means of t? refreshing to the toiler. Speaking of' its mission in relation to the man’s physical frame he pointed out that wherever material things are subjected to great strain provision is made for relaxing that tension in order that the capacity for doing their best work may be preserved. You cross the continent in a fast train and keep your seat in one coach, but at regular in- tervals the engine that draws you is i! relieved that it may be cooled and pre- ; pared for another run of equal speed, ,The speaker noted the pride with 'which the president of the Cement a company had explained to Rev. J. G. ‘ Shearer and himself as they Visited ] the works recently, how at every point of special strain they had pro- ‘ vided duplicate machinery so that ‘ each part might he periodically cooled and rested and thus fitted to continue to do its work with unerring effort. ,This law was everywhere recognized and every motion of thrift urged the owner of the costly machinery to imake similar provision. There was ‘however one part of the modern in- (lnsirial outfit that was in danger of getting less attention than its im- mense worth demanded. Provision is mad e for refreshing the steel plates that are employed in industry, but .whatahout the men who toil on in many cases seven days in the week land twelvehours in the day giving l not only muscle, but nerve and brain : in the service? The social progress of - which we are naturally proud has in . some degree helped toward the neglect » of this, the most valuable asset in all L industrialdevelopment. .Noone would 2 think at this day of returning to the 1 system of slavery with all its arbitrari- 3 ness and oppression and yet the pro- ! gress to liberty has not been'made with- 9 - out a relative loss. 'If every employer had to lay out his capital in paying for the energy and skill that is concentra- owned by the workman produced by his industry, skill and determination- Theemployee has no responsibility for l replacing it except paying interest for it by the hour, the day, or the year. Is it then a thing unreasonable that! the law should intervene to say that no employer shall take liberty with - the capital represented_ in his men, d that he would, not do if all the thou- n‘ sands of dollars of his workmen’s cap- ): ital were owned by himself? Is it too It much to ask' that as much can be giv- as to 8‘1an against; the waste of steel plates? This in part» is the principle laid down in our‘ text, "Six days thou Shalt do. thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt. rest; that thin oxeand thine as may have rest. and the son of thy bondmaid and the sojonmer may be refreshed. The Lord’s Day and Legislation. DURHAM, ONT" THURSDAY. APRIL: 11, 1907. PERSONAL. An old pioneer in the person of Jabez Banks passed. peacefully away on Thursday last at the ripe old age of 84 years, 7 months, and 2 days. He1 was born in Cumberland, England, in! 1823 and shortly after marriage in his native land he emigrated to Canada and settled near Toronto where he spent five or six years before moving to the second concession of Glenelg, over fifty years ago. About twenty- three years ago he left the farm and moved to town. Thirteen years ago he lost his wife but still remained in town with two or three of his daugh- ters. It is about nine years since he left here to live in North Bay, but it was his usual custom to spend the winter months with his daughters in ,Durham and vicinity. For the past % two years he has been here continuous- tly and it was at the home of his daughter Mrs. E. W. Limln that he took sick and died after an illness of about nine weeks. He leaves a. family of two sons and and six daughters, Wellington and Mrs. Thomas. (Dora) of North Bay, Thomas of Owen Sound, Mrs. Mere- dith. (Ada) and Miss Minnie of Regina, and Mrs. Chas. McKinnon, Mrs. J as Staples and Mrs. E. \V. Limin of town and vicinity. The deceased was a highly esteemed resident and citizen, a good neighbor and a man of more than ordinary in- telligence. He was a Liberal of the old school of politics, but fora number of years he took no active part in the subject. In religion he was a Metho- dist but not tied down by creed or formalism but governed by his own intelligence in the pursuit of a chris- tain course. ° All the members of his family with} the exception of Mrs. Meredith and Miss Minnie of Regina, were present at his death and burial. Messrs. A. and J. Banks (nephews of the deceas- ed.) and their wives of Laurel were present at the burial. He was the last member of the family. Interment took place Sunday afternoon to Dur- ham cemetery. Rev. Coilingr officiat- mg. _,, _A A-‘ M...__â€"-â€"- DR.
