From Farmers' Advocate: Signs and political developments in Canada point to the gradual and ultimate elimination of one or the other of the old political parties. The Liberal and National Conservative Party are so much alike in background, outlook and policy that racial thinking elements will continue to break off into dismembered groups and then some political Moses will semble the scattered regiments an effective force that will displace one of the old time parties just as the Liberal Party has been effaced in the Old Country. In the last Saskatchewan election almost half the votes, or 43 per cent were neither Liberal nor Conservative and in Eastern Canada there is growing percentage of younger people who have the audacity to vote against the party under the benefioient influence of which they have been nurtured and The Conservative Party had a splendid opportunity at the recent Convention to blaze a new political trail, but it failed to do so. The policy there laid down and the resolutions endorsed indicate that the National Conservative Party will skirt railway problem just as the Liberals have done, will be just as vague in mattess of national defense and will continue to apply salve and bandages in the hope of curing unemployment when they know full well that some vital inward organ is pumping poison into our( social and economic system. Canada is by no means free of ism® and racial groups of many shades and complexions. If by any chance they should gain up on the traditional political institutions, Liberals and National Conservatives, jbotih thinking and acting alike, but separated into camps, would offer a weak defense. Wfe have noticed along our road-Sides a blue weed which we thought must be wild Delphinium, so much does it resemble that flower. ■ Mr Hugh Templin of the Fergus New: Record says it is the cousin of the delphinium and is known as the blue weed or bishop's curse. It was introduced into this country by a who kept bees and who had heard that the plant produced flowers rich in honey and was easily grown on poor soil. It is a fact that bees and humming birds are both fond of blue flowers--if you don't believe us, watch them in your garden. Public Demands Better Sanitation An indication of the strong demand for higher standards of hygiene is seen in the recent innovation of the "registered" washroom system in gasoline service stations, says the Canadian Institute of Plumlbing and Heating. A recent survey in the United States revealled that 49 per cent of the restaurants visited had no washroom facilities and 2.5 per cent of the stores were in need of more and better plumbing. However, it is now beiing more and more widely recognized that the plumber is the protector of public health, and astute business men are providing the kind of washroomi facilities which reflect credit on their business services. What applies to public sanitary facilities with equal force, of course, to domestic arrangements. Not only are efficient selrtvice and attractive appearance necessarv requisites of mod> ern plumlbing, but it must be realized that expert installation Is necessary to ensure the health, warns the Institute. Faulty layout of household plumbing has been known to cause serious epidemics. Therefore, the home owner or business man who is planning repairs to his present plumbing equipment, or a new installation, would do well to have the work done by a reputable plumlbing contractor, is the advice of the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating. A survey by an expert will disclose the condition of the piping for distribution of the water supply to the various fixtures, water beaters, tanks, pumps, and other mechanical devices having sewer or water connections. Contamination of the water supply is apt to occur from dangerous "ctosis" connections resulting when repair work or installations are made by inexperienced "handymen." Overhauling and renovating of the home plumbing is a sound investment for the protection of the family health and may be easily' aranged under the terms Of the Horn© Im-provement Plan. Beware of These Birds The Toronto Better Business Burin, iin a recent news release says: Fake Oriental rug racketeers op-■ating in Toronto, whose profitable ireers have been checked by cooperation of Toronto newspapers and officials of Toronto Better Business Bureau, are expected to attempt new high pressure sales methods in other Ontario centres. Using misleading advertisements and unidentifiable telephone numbers, the Toronto group offered so-called genuine Oriental rugs, indicating that the would-be buyers were dealing \v,:th some owners "going south," "leaving town," or "selling out." Better Business Bureau investigators discovered that the exceptionally low prices quoted were merely bait.V and tha\t 'bat," itseflf had trvariably (been sold, inferior rugs eing offered the victim under the guise of high-quality merchandise. One victim bought a so-called 'genuine inlaid broadloom," only to ind it an inferior jute rug of little •alue. First asked $78.00 for the rug. the victim's suspicions were still not akeped when he "succeeded" in beating down the price to $20.00. He '"" the loser, u officials urge that Ont The New Government Program for the Care of Tuberculosis Patients Following the approval of the Lieutenant-Governor in Council of the regulations relating to the recent Amendments to the Sanatoria for Consumptives Act whereby the Provincial Government relieves the municipalities of the cost of maintenance far indigent patients in sanatoria, the Honourable Mr. Harold J. Kirby, Minister of Health, outlined the policy of the Government in respect to this matter. This Legislation was introduced as a result of an extensive study of the programme of tuberculosis control which revealed that in many instances suitable and necessary care for those suffering from this disease had frequently not been provided because of the cost to the municipalities. Heretofore approximately half of the patients dying from tuberculosis have not received the benefit of sanatorium treatment. Furthermore the burden of the cost of sanitorium care have been strikingly unequal from municipality throughout the Province. Prior to the last session o the Legislature, all cities, separate towns and counties were required by Statute to pay $1.50 per day for the treatment in sianitoirium of each indigent person suffering from tuberculosis. In the case of counties, one-half of this amount was charged back to the township, town or village, as the case might be. The amount of money inaised' by the municipalities through taxation for this purpose amounted to $1,350,000.00 last year. While the bulk of the financial burden formerly borne by the muni-cipaflitiesi, has been assumed by the Government, the responsibility for the after-care of certain patients is still left with the municipalities. Failure on the part of the raiiuni-cipality to supply such after-care, will result in the retention of these patients in sanitorium at the expense of the municipality. Such cost would be greatly in excess of that entailed in providing proper living accommodation aind treatment outside the sanatorium. When pneumothorax treatments are necessary following the discharge of indigent patints from sanitoria, the munlcftpailllties are required ito provide transportation from the place of residence to and fromi the nearest centre in which such treatment facilities are available, and to pay physicians approved by the Department for giving these treatments. The Government, however, will reimburse the municipality for th© amount paid to these physicians up to $3.00 per refill treatment. This programme became effective July 1st, 1938. Patients who are able to pay all or part of their maintenance in sanatorium will be expected to do so as heretofore. The Minister emphasizes the fact that the Government is taking on no additional responsibility whatever with respect to Public General Hospitals and the care of indigent patients therein. Such institutions will continue to rece-ive GovwnmeTit support in the way of statutory per diem grants but the main responsibility for their operation will, as in the past, remain with the communities which they serve. Fishermen, Campers Should Read This At this season of the year the thoughts of fishermen, campers and others rare turning towards the bucolic and sylvan pleasures of the great outdoors. Probably nowhere in the world are facilities for such enjoyment betteir for the average person than in Canada. Almost literally speaking, however, "there is a fly in the ointment," in fact, too many flies--blackflies and mosquitoes. These "winged demons of the forest," as one of the early Jesuit Fathers referred to them, occur in great numbers, especially in spring and early summer, in many otherwise attractive locations. Fortunately 'there are certain simple precautionary measures that may be taken, which will do much to mitigate the discomfort and annoyance caused by these insects, These measures are discussed in a pamphlet, prepared by direction of the Dominion Entomologist, entitled "Methods of Protection from Mosquitoes, Black-flies and Simffl'air Pests in the Forest," and available on application to the Publicity and Extension Branch. Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Proper camping sites should be chosen away from marshes swamps and stagnant pools, iPttrefeirabily where there are no dense woods or underbrush which would starve as a shelter for the insects and break the wind. Fly-proof tents should be used, and one of the popular brands of pyrethum fly spray and a sniltable atomizer should be kept on hand to destroy insects that may find their way into the tents dr other quarters to include a It is re-mesh i. the list of equi i n Snil should i that • scum, rough one thickness of ordinary clothing.
