About a year ago his relatives got in toueh with the S.C.R. to see what could be done in regard to treatment but beyond a visit from one of the Ottawa special workers from the S.C. R. nothing was done as a result of her report. <It is the opinion of the local physician at the hospital that the disability from which this boy is now suffering is due to his war service The poison from the old wound in the thigh travelled across the body and affeected the right thigh and leg and this at the present time is practically useless. The boy is now 25 years of age with no hope for the future unless his disability is traced to his war serâ€" vice. The Adjustment Bureau of the Caniadian Legion is now busy with every prospect of linking this man‘s «isability with his war service. This case is typical of many athers reeeivâ€" ed in this way. The Legion through its erganization work is making new contracts where, veterans are living in «mall towns or of the way places. A good many cases reach our Adjustâ€" ment Bureau through this channel whieh hitherto were not taken care of. \Â¥aen the Legion has linked up all the véterans from every local centre in the Province into units of the Canaâ€" dian Legion. there wiuill be few cases In the course of his itinerary Orâ€" canizer H. McLeod has come across many men suffering from disabilities resulting from their war service, either with a very inadequate pension or in some cases none at all. _ The claims thus obtained are turned to the Adjustment Bureau of the Legion and the adjustment _ machinery brought to bear on them with good results for the applicants and their cdlependents. A case was unearthed at Smith‘s Falls during the visit of the Organizer there, on May 12th, and was immediately taken up with the pension asuthorities at Ottawa. _ The boy in this ease enlisted at the age of 14 vears and ten months. He was large of Stature for lhus age and no doubt vave his wrong age on enlistment. In the sourse of events he graduated to. Francee and was wounded in the left thigh at Paschendaele. After a period of hospitalization was discharged in Jan. 1918, the reason given, ‘‘on acâ€" count of being under age.‘"‘ After discharge he carried on at employment for about fifteen moniths at Smith‘s Falls, working as an engineer‘s fitter and helper. He then went to Detroit and found employment there. _ Toâ€" wards the end of 1922 his old wound broke out and he wentt into hospital at the latter place. He spent all of his savings to provide private treatâ€" ment and was then taken im hand by omne of the charitable organizations. No attempt was made by the boy or his relatives to link the disability up with his war service. He lay in a Detroit hospital for one year as a bed patient and when in a condition to be moved was sent baek ito Smith‘s Fzalls. (Upon arrival there he went into hospital and has been a patient there ever sinee. His keep has been provided by the hard earnings of a loving sister and father.

Full information and itinerary from It may safely be said that the period since Confederation has witnessed a complete reversal of the general attiâ€" tude towards outdoor exereise in every form. In the days of the union of the provinces and for many years thereafter the practice of athleties was eonfined to those who made it more or less of a business or profession and to a very small perceentage of the generâ€" al public. The great mass of the peoâ€" ple were content to look on. _ But nowadays the urge is for active partiâ€" Skiing, which made it appearance in Canada about twentyâ€"five years ago, has completely usurped the place once held by the native winter outsport of snowshoeing. The latter has almost disappeared although at one time it was Canada‘s predominant winter pastime. Skiing has caught the fancy of many thousands and bids fair to hold its astonishing popularity. Basketball is a game that has won a very high place in the regard of eduâ€" cational and other institutions which possess facilities for gymnasium exâ€" ereise in Canada run into the thousâ€" ands. Large industrial and other corâ€" porations have taken up the matter of providing playing filoors for their emâ€" ployees and many of these organizaâ€" tions have formed leagues for the clubs in their own line of activity. Still another form of outdoor sport that has grown immensely in popular favour is softball. This is a modificaâ€" tion of baseball and is greatly Favourâ€" ed by school pupils of both sexes beâ€" cause of the elimination of the dangerâ€" ous hard ball of the parent game. Foothball, introduced into Canada by British soldiers after the conquest of Quebec, did not make any particular headway until adopted by the colleges and universities about 1880. . The game is still largely a college sport and has a strong bhoid on the student body and craduates. largely assumed the place onee held in the affections of the public by laâ€" erosse. â€" This is hockey, which toâ€"day is played by countless organizations from coast to coast. Another deâ€" velopment by no means confined to Canada has been the rise of golf. Thousands of clubs have sprung up. There is secarcely a town of any size in the country, and certainly none with any pretensions to fashionable sport that has not its golf links and club house. L. 0. TREMBLAY District Passenger A; It may be regarded as somewhat in the nature of a coincidence that laâ€" crosse, onee Canada‘s undisputed naâ€" tional game, was vlaced on an orgaâ€" nized footing in Confederation year, when a gathering of expert players and lovers of the game met at Kingsâ€" ton to frame rules and legislate for the future conduct of the sport. For forty years after that period lacrosse grew and flourished, but some fifteen years ago the gams showed symptoms of losing its popularity. The newer generations did not take to lacrosse as did their fathers and toâ€"day the game can scearcely justify its onece proud title of Canada‘s national pastâ€" time. In winter sports, however, another form of athletice endeavour was born in the middle of the 80‘‘s and has now Among the many interesting artiâ€" cles sent out by the National Comâ€" mittee for the ‘Celebration of the Diaâ€" mond Jubilee of Confederation, there wiil be special interest in one reviewâ€" ing the progress iwf sport in Canada during the past sixty years. _ This article says :â€" SXTV VEARS OF SPORT N DOMINION OF CANAD: Standing of Lacrosse, Football, Baseâ€" ball, Hockey, Ctolf, and Other Sports in the Years Since Confederation THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE. TIMMINS, ONTARIO North Bay fFar into ~ the Northlan Agent The value of the procedure has been completely demonstrated in TMantford. There has not been a singlt case of diphtheria in that city in the past four months. Necessity of constant attention to the problem of making children imâ€" mune to diphtheria is stressed by the Brantfort department of health. â€" A new generation is steadily growing up and these children should ‘be protectâ€" ed as early as possible. Treatments with toxoid are absoâ€" lutely harmless to young ehildren but it is a curious fact that babies can be made immune not only with perfect safety but with less temporary disâ€" comfort than at any other age. Preventive work against diphtheria is actively under way in Winnipeg‘s schools with a squard of four doctors engaged in the work of immunization. The civie health department presented the facts regarding tests and toxids to parents, but the actual testing is voluntary, done only with the written consent of fathers or mothers. GOOD WORK BEING DONE TO PREVENT DIPHTHERIA Canada‘s climate is likewise a facâ€" tor in the spread of athleties. _ The four seasons are so sharply defined that each has it own particular sports, suited to the climatie conditions, and nearly every game in the calender of athletics finds here its best environâ€" ment. In this respect the Dominion has a considerable‘ advantage over many other countries, and while it has taken our people some time to apâ€" preciate this fact, it is evident that henceforth Canadian sports will be enjoyed to the full, not only by our own citizens but by vast numbers of visitors to the Dominion. cipation in the game itself and as a result men and women in all walks of life and almost of all ages have taken up some form of athletice exerâ€" cise. The greut variety of games proâ€" vides an opportunity for all to take part in some suitable sport. Where sixty years ago there were but one or two forms of recognized outdoor pasâ€" times, there are now @éasily a score, lawn bowling, tennis, golf, and other games have replaced the dignified croâ€" quet of our grandparents. â€" Freedom from the conventional forms of dress has also done much to popularize modern sport with the feminine porâ€" tion of the community. The common sense costumes which characterize golf, skiing, swimming and allied pasâ€" timesy have won countless devotees to these forms of athletic exerceise. The evolution of sport clothes would, if studied, be found to have exercised a rather interesting influence on the spread of outdoor games.

E. Campbell, Cobalt coal dealer, for fees at the town weigh scales. The dealer refuses to pay, saying that the town pays the salary of the weigh clerk out of the general funds, and that his customers‘refuse to pay the fees, while the service is mainâ€" tained by the town for the advarâ€" tage of the eustomers, not the dealers. At the last meeting of the Cobalt council the question was discussed and the argument was advanced that as the dealer had submitted to the byâ€"law he was consequently liable for the fees. Other dealers had paid without objection. The Cobalt town solicitor was instructed to proceed with the collection of the account, taking the matter to the Division Court, if necessary.
