III-l stead of this work being conductedi in isolated communities there is a; conviction that if the future citizens- of the world are to be saved all the? the babies must be saved no matter; where they live. There is a comic-z tion that no one knows quite as much: as he should know about baby welfarel and that no one is doing all he should t. secure fair treatment for this “lit- tle infant soldier" who has had to fieht far too many of his battles un-I aided, in the past. , Enkland is thoroughly roused on, this subject. First of all she means to effect a radical reform at home., The Children's Jewel Fund has yield-" ed S27,062 for baby welfare work in: England. Added to this fund u a. contribution of 4,000 guineas from the American Red Cross to go to the: some work in England.

Bee. tional confirm-m at in the provinces will link the whole English-speaking British world in one great body of Baby Welfare workers. An attempt will be made to induce local author- ities in all overseas dominions to or ganize far.returhintr schemes looking to the presenation of baby life. In view of this earnest effort in the motherland it is most gratifying to know of the splendid work that has already been accomplished in Canada this year. Three well organized Baby Welfare Week programmes have been carried out in our large cities. The work for summer should not end there and, in View of Germany’s ceaseless activity along that line cir- cumstances seem to warrant a repeti- tion later in the summer of those same Welfare Weeks. What is real- ly needed is a "Get Together Confer- ence for the Dominion" with nation- wide, standardized warfare for the sake of Canadian babies. An Icela- Refrigerator.

"; Freedom i With the departure of Peter and his sister-Peter had made his leave-tak- Ing easy by securing an earlier train than she expected and sending her a brief note of farewe1r--Mariory found herself near that ideal state of perfect freedom she had craved. There was now no outside influence to cheek her movements. If she remained where she was, there was no one to interrupt her in the solitary pursuit of her own pleasure. Safe from any possibility of intrusion, she was at liberty to remain in the seclusion of her room: but/ if she preferred, she' could walk the quayI without the, slightest prospect in t e world of be..! ing forced to recognize the friendly greeting of any one. 3 Peter was gone; Beatrice was gone; and Monte was gone. There was no one else-unless by some chance poor Teddy Hamilton "should turn up, which was so unlikely that she did not even consider it. Yet there) iwere moments when, if she had met Teddy, she would have smiled a weld come. She would not have feared; him. There was only one person inl the world now of whom she stood in' l, fear, and he was somewhere along the' {English coast, playing a poor camel I of golf. . l She was free beyond her most exm travagant dreami--thturiutelr freed. She was so free that it seemed aim- less to rise in the morning, because there was nothing awaiting her atten- tion.

Arrangements hive been completed by the Canada Food Bond with the United States Food Administration by which 16,000 tons of linseed oil also end meal will be supplied to relieve the conditions which prevail in Caneda owing to the scarcity of feed and fodder. % TheTood Board will be responsible for the allocation of the oil cake and meal. All dealers who wish to im- port these commodities must attach to the regular import upplication Hulk: I eworn statement of the quantities sold during the three years prior te July lat and distribution will be made on this basis. Applications should be sent direct to the Canada Food Board. Every city, town and village in', Canada should have a farm employ-! ment agency in charge of some trood/ live local man. Farmers want help, and it is the duty of the towns and cities to provide it if there is no other source of supply. Able bodied young men of all classes have been enlisted for the army, and the fac- tories had already drained the coun- try of regular farm laborers. There is no immigration to help the situa- tion. The United States wants about a million or more men for its own harvest. Some of those men will doubtless be available in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba for the Canadian wheat after the American crop is in, but the great bulk of the extra labor required on Canadian farms this year, will have to come from Canadian towns and cities. To enable these men to be distribute ed when they do come forward, as by their Registration cards they have promised to do, there should be run-1 chinery ready and well organized. lnl some Provinces the local Government; has established employment agenciesn Every province might well have simi-l lar Offices supplemented by voluntary) organizations in every centre.
