It is now common knowledge that neglected health conditions in carly life cause a great deal of trouble as age advances and frequently incaâ€" pacitate men for work at a much earâ€" lier age than would have been the case had they looked after themselves +s they should, or possibly would have, f the service had been available. It s a large question, of course, with two des to the argument, but there is cerâ€" winly a swing towards state medicine hese days.â€"Port Arthur Newsâ€"Chronâ€" Accidents in Homes Next to the highway, it is in the home that there is the greatest toll of life through accidents. _ Home acciâ€" dont fatalities are exceeded only by accidental deaths from motor vehicle operation and, over a period of years, &0 insurance records show, nearly oneâ€" third of all accidental deaths occur at bome â€"Kingston Whigâ€"Standard. f1 Harvesters‘ Excursions There will be no harvesters‘ excurâ€" mons to the west this year.

Reason enough! A municipallyâ€"owned street railway system has produced a profit. True, the profit shown by the Calgary line is not largeâ€"3.24 to be exactâ€"but it is a profit, and that is something. And it is the first time since 1929.

This is a gain of 6.3 per cent. ‘Jin three months, or progress at the * |rate of about 20 per cent. for a full ~] year. As in our own case, the sharpâ€" ~Jest recovery has been made in those . commodities, principally farm proâ€" | ducts, which had previously suffered | most severely from deflation, Security | prices have also advanced, at a much |more rapid pace, and the average | value of 130 common shares whose | fAluctuations are reported by the Doâ€" minion Bureau has increased by more than 50 ner cent. since March. Gaing in trade and industry are equally notâ€" able. The official index of industrial production has moved up from a "low" of 67.0 in February to 76.4 in May, A figure for June is not yet available, but continued expansion in industries producing steel, textiles and nonâ€"ferâ€" rous metals leaves little doubt that it will show a further gain. This ev.l- dence of Canadian improvement is of special interest to the United States, inasmuch as more American capital is invested in Canada than in any other foreign country, and Canadian marâ€" kets are second in importance only to those of the United Kingdom as an outlet for American goods. That these gains have been made without any plan deliberately to depreciate the Canadian dollar offers further proof of the strength of natural forces now tending to promote recovery.â€"New York Times. Evidence of widespread improveâ€" ment of business in Canada is noted by several official agencies, _ The wholesale price index of the Dominiâ€" on Bureau of Statistics reached 67.6 in June, compared with 63.6 in Febrâ€" Economy at Sea So rapidly has postâ€"war : developed that a modern liner costs less to run to Mo: a 20â€"000â€"ton 20â€"vaarclda wiv» f Canada Needs People Canada is the only British Dominion which can be guickly made ready for the reception of millions of settlers. She is distant hardly a week‘s sail from Britain. It is as easy to cross the Atlantic now as it was to cross the North Sea three centuries ago. The Canadian climate makes her attractive to British settlers. Against the absurd statement that the Canadian climate is too inclement for further settlement northwards, we place the living witâ€" ness of the sturdy Frenchâ€"Canadians. Occupying one of the most difficult parts of Canada, this people, with the passing of the centuries, has improved its physique. There is probably no sturdier white folk in all the world than the Frenchâ€" Canadians of the northernmost settlements in Quebec. Canada will eventually be peopled by hundreds of millions.â€"Dr. Frank Bohn in National Review. Wrong Background , The pessimism that attends the conâ€" ference is increased by the optimism of its background. The representaâ€" tives of the sixtyâ€"six nations in variâ€" ous stages of economic stringency and financial disaster observe every where is apparently untouched and might be they turn an England whose prosperity living in Edwardian days. They come to London at the height of the Lonâ€" don season, when all the spending of people with money is accelerated and all the luxury left in the country is disâ€" played. The proper background for a Word Economic Corference in Engâ€" land would have been Manchester or Bradford or Glasgow, perbaps Glasâ€" gow best of all, for there everyone can see the miles of empty stocks of the with activity when all the world needâ€" shipyards, not so long ago teeming ed ships to carry trade from one land to another and all the world traded together.â€"Manchester Guardian. When the World Economic Conferâ€" ence comes to a close Roosevelt says "It won‘t be the end of the world." But it will be the end of an old worldâ€"the one which was based on international finance and trading. It will be the beâ€" ginning of a new world in which the nations will create fresh markets either of their own people or in new economic groups. _ America already has set out on this adventure. Britain must tread the same path. The prosâ€" pect before us is fairer even than that which faces the new Americans. Cerâ€" tainly there is no going back. The bridges are broken down. The Empire Union must now take the place of the old world which has broken down.â€" The Daily Express. he scarcely sleeps an hour a day, and ’that he considers sleep a matter of habit. According to him, people have developed the habit of sleeping beâ€" cause of having to spend a part of each day in the dark. If it is really a kabit, we do not hesitate to say it is a bad habit. We lose nearly half of our life in that way. For people who stay up late, perhaps the figure is only ai quarter of their life, but it is still too much. In any case, now we know it is not a necessity of life, there is no further excuse for sleeping through a sermon or nodding over a book, and public officials can at least be expectâ€" ed to stay awake at their jobs!â€"La Patrie (Montreal). rapidly has postâ€"war ship design oped that a modern 40,000,ton costs less to run to Montreal than 000â€"ton 30â€"yearâ€"old rival.

This seems in effect that Newfoundâ€" landers would lose their selfâ€"governing institutions until the British were able to put the island on its feet. The report goes still further in proâ€" posing that the whole administration of the island should be handed over for a time to a nominated commission empowered to recognize the machinery of government, collect taxes and conâ€" duct the affairs of the colony by adâ€" ministrative order. , Newfoundland will temporarily lose her status as a selfâ€"governing colony iif the British government approves the report of Lord Amulree‘s commission, which was recently sent to investigate the island‘s financial plight. The reâ€" port, which is now in the hands of Dominion‘s Secretary Thomas, is unâ€" derstood to propose drastic action without precedent in modern British history. It recommends that the isâ€" land‘s finances be put under expert nonâ€"political control as a condition to arranging a big reconstruction loan.

Census to be Made Replying to the toast to the guests proposed by the Lord Provost, Howard Angus Kennedy of the Canadian party expressed regrets the stream of miâ€" gration from Scotland to Canada had been checked of late years,. Canada had room for millions of Scots if they showed as much intelligence in reform systems of coâ€"operative settlement as had been shown in other forms of orâ€" ganization, he declared.

There are also numerous moose and commoner deer. The new. national park is easily accessible. It is approached from all directions by good motor roads, and will probably prove popular with motorists Study will be made of the possibiliâ€" ties of establishing a fishâ€"rearing pond in the neighhorhood. The meeting resolved to approach the authorities with a view to protectâ€" ing the rainbow trout which had been established in Brome Lake some time ago. but had been found to be making their way down the Yamaska into greater bodies of water. Quebec had been approached, it was announced, but nothing had been done. Hungarian Partridge Thrive in Quebec Brome, Que. â€" The introduction of the Hungarian partridge to this counâ€" tryside has proved highly successful, it was reported at a meeting of the local branch of the Province of Quebec Association for the Protection of Fish and Game. Two years ago some Hunâ€" garian partridge had been introduced.l it was stated, and for two successivel springs they have nested, the result being that many healthy young birds‘| are now seen on the wing. In a tewl years, the hope was expressed, there| will be enough birds to provide sport | for the gun. l "On the other hand the fact reâ€" mains that a motorist must be creepâ€" ing along pretty slowly if a heavy truck with a trailer finds it necesâ€" sary to move ahead." "Of course, it can be argued that the respective passers were to blame and that they did not exercise the proper precautions before taking the chance. One of them at least was to blame from this standpoint. But it is evident that both of them thought the way was clear. They simply guessed wrong, as so often happens. "Down the road coming in oppoâ€" site direction was another car and the driver behind this one also deâ€" cided to pass, As a result the big trailer outfit met the other passer headâ€"on. To make matters worse the collision occurred just as all four cars were grouped . together. "A sedan was poking along, accordâ€" ing to witnesses, at little better than a snail‘s pace," is the description given by the Council. "So slowly in fact that a heavy truck with trailer outfit found it necessary to try to pass. ‘There is danger in going too slow just as there is danger in going too fast, according to statistics issued by the National Safety Council, Inc.
