Just stop and think this out. The sun shone her:- for one Iiol on Sat- urday last. Now .supoosinif the groun - bog came out during that hour of sunshine, ho would go back Ij his roost underground for another six weeks. But supposing he came out an hour before the .tun canu' out and he could not see his shadow, why he would decide that winter was nearly over and ho would remain awake, or supposing that the sun shone, for one hour at one point and was ob- scured by clouds a hunclred miles a- way, the same anomaly would exist, and the groundhog would be obliged to do a pavtieula- ily strenuous o::- hibition of mental gymnastics in or- der to make the two conditions comply with the theory under discussion. No, wp really have no faith in the old "saw" and we do not believe that the groundhog has any faith in it himself, although newspapers anu calendarri try to make us believe that he does. OLD AGE PENSIONS The Old Age Pension Bill is to come up in the Ontai io House in the near future for discussion as to the advisability of instituting old a^o pensions in Ontario. Last summer a survey wai made by the Ontario Gov- ernment as to the number eligible and the approximate cost to the Pro- vince if the pension was decided upon. The cost if evenly divided betweer. the Dominion and the Provincial Gov emments and the latter are contem- plating sadd.inff half of their cost*i on the municipality wherein the benc- ficarcy resides. While the Old Age Pension i.4 dnxi abl" to th; majority it is felt that the Ic ^al governments have ruffiiitnt holes to sink their All parents are worried, from time to time, lest their children cont-n«t one or other of the loi.imunicablc diseases. To a considerable extent, the spread of these diseases is due to carlcssness on the part of some per- son. The thoughtful parent can do a great deal to reduce the prevalence of these diseases which are spread from the sick to the well. When a child appears sick, he should be isolated from other children. The mother can tell when her child is not well, and she should isolate him for the protection of others. This may seem to be unreasonable because, in the va.st majority of cases, it will be found that there is nothing ser- iously wrong with the child, certainly no communicable disease. However, the only way to be sure that isolation is carried out on the odd occasion when it i:? necessary, is to isolate the sick child every time. It may seem to throw unnecessary work upon the mother of several chil- dren to see that one is kept entirely away from the others, and do require her to boil the eating and drinking utensils of the child for five minutes, but the doing of this until there is certainty that no communicable dis- ease is present may be the means of preventing the other children from contracting disease, and, indeed, may mean the saving of lives, particularly those of infants and very young chil- dren, who so frequently succumb to such disease. Protection can only be secured if the necessary effort is made. In gen- eral the communicable diseases are most infectious in their early days before the rash or other typical symp- toms appear'. It is, therefore, nec- essary that precautions be taken whenever a child is unwell, because this may be the signal of the onset of a commilnicable disease.
