Discussing the Kirkland Lake epidemic, said to have been spread through the milk suppoly, Dr. Routley pointed out yesterday that legisâ€" lation was 25 years behind scientific knowledge. "For 25 years we have known that raw, unpasseurized milk is unsafe and yet there are few localities which have byâ€"laws to prohibit its use." Germs in milk that has not been pasteurized, he declared, can lead to such diseases as streptococcic infection of the throat, scarlet fever, tyâ€" phoid fever, diphtheria, most of contagious diseases, and even bovine tuberculosis. Dirty, unpasteurized milk he asserted, was "the most terâ€" rific cause" of intestinal and other diseases of infants. Very few centres in addition to Toronto forbade the distribution and sale of unpasteurized milk, Dr. Routley lamented and this was even Should Insist on the Use of Pasteurized Milig more serious when it was realized that the d ized milk might attack anybody drinking it "There are just two kinds of milk which summed up, "pasteurized milk and cannec evaporated.

Police are seekâ€" ing James White, picture agent, in conâ€" nection with the affair, and are holding Paul Klinchuk, a companion of White, as a material witness. Mrs. Alexander, who has been in the habit of walking with the proceeds of the theatre in her handbag, was accompanied on this ocâ€" casion by an attachee of an act playing at the theatre. On this occasion there was $150 in the bag, she claims. At the corner of Main and McQuaig strests she heard someone approaching from the rear. As the party passed he snatched the bag from under her arm. Thinking it was an acquaintance who was only playing joke, Mrs. Alexanâ€" der called the man by name, and grabâ€" bed to regain the bag. She was amazâ€" ed to see the man start running. Realâ€" izing that it was far from a joke her escort took after the man, who fied up a lane beside Bush‘s poolroom. In his haste the escaping thief threw off his coat. It was from papers found in the pocket of this coat that police comâ€" menced a search for James White, picâ€" ture enlargement salesman.

George Nilson, member Oof the Clute local, stressed particularly the point that his local knew practically nothing of what the central executive was doing, and he was supported by Mr. Goode, of Brower, and Carl Thorning, of Cochrane. W. O‘Brien, of Frederi¢ckhouse, with one or two others, was inclined to favour Mr. Lacascse‘s views. Finally Mr. Lacasse offered the sugâ€" gestion that meetings be held in Cochâ€" rane, Kapuskasing and Hearst on sutâ€" cessive days of the same week. This President Lacasse contended that in unity was strength, and that the existâ€" ing organization consisting of a central executive, in Kapuskasing and local units in each of the farming communiâ€" ties, but with all directors‘ msetings held in Kapuskasing and all business transacted from Kanuskasing, was the most efficient. cessl he t that what solution passed, over the oppositicn of | the president of the N.O.S.A., Jos. La-{ casse, of Kapuskasing, may have farâ€" reaching effects on the organization. The following is an Aaccount of the| meetling as given by the Cochrane corâ€" respondent of The North Bay Nugget: On the sugzestion of Dr. L. Gagnon g V.S. president of the Cochrane local, a moticn was passed that a separate branch of the Association be formed with headquarters in Cochrane to serve' the interests of settlers in all ccmmuniâ€" } ties betwseen the interprovincial boundâ€"| ary and Smosth Rock Falls, and rorth of Nazhma. The Cochrane association to be a subsidiary of the Association which has its headquarters in Kapusâ€"| kasing. | , Tiie supporters of the motion conâ€" tended that the interests of the settlers could best be served, and the efficiency of the organization premoted, by havâ€" ing separate organizations in Cochranse, Kapuskasing, Hearst, and rtrrhaps Timâ€" mins, each with its cwn executive but all coming under federal executive with headquarters in Kapuskasing. mestings in Kapuskasing. Rev. Fr. Grenier, of Strickland, supâ€" ported Dr. Gagnon and Mr. Nilson for a separate association, and the motion was carried unanimously. A meeting to elect an executive representative of the entire Cochrane area s outlined in the resolution will be held shortly. A motion asking that a bridge be built across the Abitibi river east of Cochrane was presented by Mr. Goode, of Brower and accopted. Mr. Goode stated that for a month each spring and fall, when there was too much ice to operate the ferry but the ice was too soft to carry load, farmers were unâ€" able to use the road. Last fall, he said, some Brower farmers were caught in Cochrane and had to send their horses home by freight. A cousle of stringers are drawn to the river bank every elecâ€" tion, he said, but they are never used. Mr. Goode also suggeosted that the Association use its influence to have the town of Cochrane opirn a farmers‘ market® but was assured that the matâ€" Before the crganization of the Nort.h-; ern Ontario Settlers‘ Association the difficulty The Advance saw in any unâ€" ion of the settlers was the one caused by the huge extent of country overI which the settlers are scattered in this North and the expense and trouble that would be entailed by keeping any orâ€" ganization that would be representative | and at the same time allow cof anythingi like regular meetings. The Northern| Ontario Settlers‘ Assozciation claimed to have solved this difficulty, but it apâ€" pears now that the plan of the organâ€" ization with headquarters at Kapusâ€"| kasing has not actually found a sclu-i tion. The Advance believes that the solution must lie along the lines of the | Associated Boards of Trade, though| the central organization will need even' then to avoid ‘"compromise" tactics| such as at present threaten to wreck the Associated Boards of Trade in this North. A similar view in regard to thei difficulty of having authority centralizâ€" ed at Kapuskasing or any other special | centre was taken at a mecting of set-' tlers held last week in Cochrane, The meeting was one of the members of the' Cochrane branch of the Northern Onâ€"| tario Settlers‘ Aszociation and the reâ€"| A solution was passed unanimousiy in favour of the Transâ€"Canada Highâ€" way following the Ferguson Highway to Cochrane and west along the C.N.R. President Lacasse outlined again the demands ¢f the settlers‘ for a system of land bonuses, and for government aid in Graining their land. Similar mertâ€" ings will be held in Hearst and Kapusâ€" kasins.

Their chief conbentioni is that they carefully searched thet ruins of the hotel after the fire had : abated and they are, sure that t.herei were no more bodies left in the ruins. The cpinion of the Cochrane newspaper ! is of interest in this connection. In an editorial note, The Northland Post last week says:â€"*"The general opinion at the time of the Queen‘s fire was that there were quite a large number who Following is the revised schedule as approved by W.

"At the present time lumbering is in progress just beyond the point where the Ferguson highway ceases; at Penâ€" hall, 18 miles west of Hearst, coal has been discovered, and while nothing as yet has been done there is every prosâ€" pect this will be developed. West from there to Savoff, a total of 60 miles, lies a good farming country which I previously mentioned. Thence to the Pagwa river, where the Revillon Freres and Hudson‘s Bay Co. have a large trading post that ship nearly six thouâ€" sand tons of merchandise to the North each year. Pagwa is considered the gateway to the Hudson Bay and Albany river posts, having been in use for A number of years. One might say that once these boats are put in the water at Pagwa they drift direct to Hudson Bay without a single portage.

At the same time the Nakina board of trade has sent out the following letter to some of the boards of trade of the North in reference to the route of the Transâ€"Canada highway. The Nakina letter gives reasons why the route of the highway should go west from Hearst to Nakina, and these reasons are worthy of consideraticn. The letter is as follows:â€" "At a meeting of the Nakina Board of Trade held on Jan. 2nd, it was deâ€" cided to call your attention to the advantages offered by this part of the country in the construction,.and useâ€" fulness of the transâ€"Canada highway. that it co cheaply cheaply as to cause present pirices for slliverware to tumble and thus enable every household to lay in a supply.
