In the present war the example of the last war is happily being followâ€" ed with regard to the inoculation of soldiecrs â€" against typhoid and paraâ€" typhoid fevers. Inoculation agains! maladies was so successful in the war of 1914â€"18 that a very few of our British defenders succumbed to them. This improved condition in regard to what forty years ago was a plague may be ascribed to a combination of factors: better general education in health matters; better recognition of the principles of hygiene and most of all to the us> of pure water and pastsurized milk. The situation in Canada is in part better than that recorded for our necar »st neighbour. At the beginning of the century the typhoid deathrate for this country was about §50.1 per hunâ€" dred thousand of population. In 1938 this rate had dropped to 1.8. In Onâ€" tario it was but one in every hundred thousand while in Saskatchewan the rate was 0.9. ~(From Health Lcague of Canada) All across th> North American Conâ€" tinent Typhoid Fever is a disappearâ€" ing disease.

It was to repair the cabls that Grdâ€" suk had appsarently climbed into the cage R. Sullivan, cage ender and his helper H. St. Denis, had been talking to Grydsuk a short tinmne before the accident but h> had made no mention of the broken cable. Leo Belanger, who opsrates the lhoist being used to handle or>s in the bucket or sinkinz compartment told lu,\e inquest of the last signals he roâ€" ceived from Grydsuk. The unfortunâ€" ate victim rang to hoist the bucket above the chairs. The hoistman reâ€" sponded and then got the signal to lower. Again the original signal was repeated and the buckot was later lowered to the deck. This was the last signal the hoistman received.

Mr. McInunis pointâ€" ed out that the great need of the North was for a voiceâ€"a central authority that could soeak for the propl» in genâ€" eral, give authentic data to the aulthorâ€" Caues, and express the needs and loiâ€" sures of th> psop!»> with some meaâ€" _sure of authority. .

Railway Comâ€" missicn, educatlional matters in the North, and the question of transportâ€" ation and railway extensions. Cochâ€" rane hoard of trade created some little m:at and discussion by a resolution condemning the president of the Asâ€" L ie kess d P sociated Boards for a telegram he had so2nt to the premiér rlative to the respective needs for a highway and the extension of the T. N. 0. north. The president pointed out that what he had done had hkzen in line with the attitude of the Associated Boards. W. McKnight, of New Liskeard, said that the Associated Boards would be of littl> use if the executive wore to be only advisory and had to wait for months , to consult the boards on matters on which the stand of the boards was alr:ady evident. The Timmins deleâ€" gates assisted in pouring oil on the troubled waters and the Cochrane delâ€" {egat-es withdrew their resolution, it beâ€" ing understood that the executive were fully justified in acting when the fselâ€" ing of the boards was known, as it was in this cas>. At the banquet given by the Cobalt board of trade to the delegates the outstanding address was that by A. F. Brigham, general manâ€" ager of the Hollinger Gold Mines. H> pointed to the fact that the gold minâ€" ing industry had assured permanency and should be kept in this condition. Undue and burdensome taxation on the industry was one thing to be guarded against he said. He showed that a very small part of Temiskaâ€" ming‘s zold area had been really prosâ€" pected and he urged further prosâ€" jsecting.
