He must do the work experimentally, for, al- though he has found out much about the laws that govern heredity, he cannot account for some of the things that happen or fail to happen when living stocks are blended.. But still he usually finds a way to get what he wants from Mother Nature. Let us consider. for an. example, Marquis wheat. ' “Northwestern Canada is'a land of widesyreaol prairies well adapted, so far as sail is enncerned. to wheat farming and tun far nnrth fer any other crop that is nearly so protit- able as wheat. But you cannot. grow winter wheat in tlan'ada or even in the northern tier of states in our uwn enuntry.

The editorial said : "The example the Government has set in regard to Dr. Banting is one that. might well he fullmved in regard to Dr. Saunders, and all scientists and research students who have dune something wnrth while for the hene- faetion nf their enunti'y and the race. as a whole.” of corn grow where only one grew before. They have caused whole acres of waving grain to spring up where before none would grow. They have pushed forward the domain of civilized man in the face of cold and drought and given to Canada new homes for its people and new sour- ces of inexhaustible wealth." “The King Government. is to be commended for its action in voting an annniy to Dr. Banting, the dis- ciwerer of insulin. This will allow this brilliant. young medical man. whose fame is already world-wide, to continue his research work with- out. financial worry. “While the Government has been properly generous to Dr. Banting, it. is hard in understand its failure to shuw appreciation for the work of Dr. Saunders. the discoverer of Marquis wheat. His claim upon the good-will of Canada is just as great as that of Dr. Banting. He has added millions to the Wealth of Canada.

Why did it outlast the rest of the mosaic? Better material? Better workman- ship? 30th, perhaps. And your mind goes travelling inquiringly back over the centuries and loses itself in a maze of vague wondering. You’ve looked at. mosaics else- where. tooâ€"and laughed at some of them. no doubt. There’s that old mosaic of health beliefs, for instance that is so fascinating. Here is a person who reads all the patent me- dicine advertisements in the yearly almanac and buys up most of them because he’s sure he has all the symptoms they describe; there is a Montwidean lady sitting at home wrapped in an uncomfortable com- bination of furs and hot water hot- tles because she thinks artificial heat highly injurious; there again is an Indian medicine man creating an infernal noise for the Purpose of quieting a delirious patient. From all corners of the world contribu- tions are made to this interesting pattern. Parts of the mosaic have crumbled. others are beginning to show signs of wear; and every now and then a marvellous new piece is addml.

The baby gets every possible chance to be healthy and happy and well trained. But it the nurse finds that he shows signs of departing from the sraigbt and nar- row road that leads to a life of health, on he goes to the Sick Baby Clinic, where he is put under the care of a physician. Last year the four trained workers in the baby cli- nics reached one-quarter of the children under 5 years of age in that city and made 5.327 visits to the homes of children under supervis- ion. And the city has reason to he protid of its experiment and' of the establishment of this new public utilitx. The education 01 the citi- zens thus being promoted has result- ed in the infant mentality rate being cut in half within three years.
