Complete $I+ The New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€"‘‘The first steam shovel to be used in excavating for building purâ€" poses in New Liskeard is now being usâ€" ed by Messrs Hillâ€"Clarkâ€"Francis, Ltd., in excavating for the basement of the new garage to be erected by Mr. Clair Binkley of the National Auto Sales. The digger started operations on Wedâ€" nesday morning and a large number of spectators were on hand to see it tear out the earth. The machine will do the work of many men." "It is apparent," Dr. Hastings says, "that diphtheria is still one of the most deadly enemies of children, especially those under the age of 5. From 50 to 75 p.c. of all diphtheria deaths occur in children less than 5 years old. This is the preâ€"school age, before they come under the observation of departments of health in an organized way, and it is at this age that parents are most freâ€" quently deceived by the insidious onset of the disease; they frequently think the child has only an ordinary cold in the head until it has progressed too far to be cured." According to statistics compiled by the Canadian Social Hygiene Council, 1200 people died in Canada last year from diphtheria while 13,500 people were infected. Under modern condiâ€" tions and in the light of the latest scientific discoveries both deaths and sickness from diphtheria can in future be avoided. By the Schick Test it has been deâ€" termined that 15 p.c. of all infants unâ€" der 3 months are susceptible to diphâ€" theria, 30 p.c. between 3 and 6 months, 60 p.c. from 6 months to a year, 60 p.c. from one to two years, 60 p.c. from two to three years. From that age onwards the percentage decreases until at the age of 20 only 15 p.c. are susceptible. Of thousands of toxoid administraâ€" tions to Toronto school ch'udren none has resulted harmfully. Before the development of the Schick Test the discovery of the immunizing solution, "toxoid," put into the hands of the medical profession a weapon of certain deadliness against diphtheria. ‘"Toxoid" is administered in three hypoâ€" dermic injections of 8 drops each, at intervals of a month. This agent thus administered renders the subject imâ€" mune to the disease for from 12 to 15 years and probably for life. Immunization is the method recomâ€" mended by Dr. Hastings to drive the disease from this country. The disâ€" covery of the Schick Test, by which it may be finally determined who is and who is not susceptible to diphtheria attack, was the final victory over the disease. By close coâ€"operation of citizens with their family physicians and the various departments of public health, diphâ€" theria could be absolutely stamped out of Canada within the next two years. "A case of diphtheria occurring in any community or municipality is a reflection on the department of health, the medical profession and the citiâ€" zens," declared Dr. Hastings. "Every death from diphtheria should be looked upon as due to culpable negligence." The lives of 1200 Canadiansâ€"mostly childrenâ€"are wantonly sacrificed yearâ€" ly to the dread disease diphtheria, deâ€" clared Dr. Charles J. Hastings, Mediâ€" cal Health Officer for Toronto in a health bulletin issued last week. Attention is being specially given at the present time to looking after childâ€" ren under school age. Last year the majority of the school children were protected against diphtheria This year it is planned to still further push the guarding of children under school age The work of vaccination or innoculaâ€" tion seems to be a very necessary one. Especially in the case of younger childâ€" ren, who are the most susceptible to the disease, attention at preâ€"school age is particularly noted. VAGCINATE THE CHILDREN 10 PREVENT DIPHTHERIA In several recent issues of The Adâ€" vance reference has been made to the plan advocated by Dr. H. H. Moore to rid this country of the deadly disease, diphtheria. In the past the advice of Dr. Moore has always been well worth while taking into very careful considerâ€" ation and study has proved it well worth while.

Somehow we can never remember ever wishing to run naked through a burning forest pursued by purple dragons on bicycles. the guest at a Rotary Club meeting while in Trenton. According to The Quinte Sun, Mr. Driscoll‘s address to the club made a great impression on the members of the club present. He reviewed theh istory of the stage from th days of the Greek poet, Thespis, who recited his verses from the back of a cart to the present motion picture times and the soâ€"called "talkies." Quoting from The Quinte Sun‘s report: A recent criticism was, he said, made, that the soâ€"called "talkies‘" would put the legitimate drama out of business, but, in Mr. Driscoll‘s opinion the "talkies" have a long way to go yet, as they are a mere mechanical contriâ€" vance and can never supplant drama in its most perfect form as presented by living actors. Mr. Driscoll pointed out that there are not ten actors on the stage toâ€"day who have voices capâ€" able of interpreting the classics. He mentioned Walter Hampden and Miss Margaret Anglin as being perfect exâ€" ponents of the right type of voices. It takes many years to develop a voice in its perfect form, and none of the ‘"prettyâ€"pretty" actors of the screen were capable of giving good performâ€" ances with the voice as a medium, no matter how acceptable they might be photographically. Kilis _ Mosquitoes It may be noted here that recently when alterations were being made in the Goldfields theatre and new maâ€" chines installed following the fire in the building, full provision and equipâ€" ment was made to install the "talkies" if desired. Mr. Leo. Mascioli is quite interested in the perfected "talkies" and is understood at present to be conâ€" sidering trying them out in Timmins. In Montreal they have made quite a hit, but in some other cities they have not been so successful. Fora few nights they are hailed with delight but they do not always appear to retain their popularity, Some theatres installing them now express regret at adopting them without further consideration. There are some disadvantages named against the "talkies." There are many who look upon the quietness of the motion picture as something to be greatly desired in this noisy world. The fact that the pictures have to tell the story is also an advantage to many who find it easier to take impressions through the eye than any other way. In this connection it may be interestâ€" ing to note the opinion of Mr. John Driscoll of the Imperial Players. Mr. Driscoll‘s company recently played at Trenton, Ont., and Mr. Driscoll was Recently some gentlemen from Timâ€" mins visited Montreal and saw there the new "talkie" motion pictures. They returned here all enthusiastic about the new form of motion picture where sound is added to sight to produce dramas, views, etc. News reels were especially interesting with sounds reâ€" produced as well as views. In one reel a big funeral in London, England, was shown and as the carriages and the troops of soldiers passed along on the screen the sounds of the moving vehicles and the tramp of the marchâ€" ing men could be heard and made the scene most realistic. Several dramatic offerings seen and heard in the new form of motion pictures also greatly impressed the visitors. "Talkie" Movies May be Introduced in Timmins Ouicker
