It says that young men, if they have the necessary qualifications, are to be enâ€" couraged to enter public life. In Waterloo and Kitchener, particularly during the last few years, young men have had increased represenâ€" tation on the various civic bodies and rightly We note that the governing authorities of Waterloo recognize the need of remedying the situation to which attention has been drawn by the Medical Officer of Health and we trust that the matter will receive early conâ€" sideration. Dr. Necker, in commenting upon the hosâ€" pital accommodation now available for the purâ€" pose, declared that the present hospital is so isolated that it is practically impossible to seâ€" cure nurses when required. The situation of the Isolation Hospital is also a great handicap. â€"It is adjacent to the sewer farm and near cattle stables, from which come objectionable odors, making it an undesirable location. Another: objection is that no fire protection is available. the needs of the community in connection with the providing of adequate hospital accommodation is a properly equipped Isolaâ€" tion Hospital for the housing of cases of conâ€" tagious diseases. He advocates a joint hospital for Kitchener and Waterloo. | _ YOUNG MEN ON CIVIC BODIES margcin as far as iIncronsa ; 3 "“‘]‘";‘."‘“’ FQNET The author of the Bok plan recognizesthat mrrted white the mortaity®" Goger C 1‘ cor: |onganization is the only voulble Path to etve equivalent to 86.9 per 1,000 births, was quite s Amex:ncgn topperation with flu? roest of the low and compares ver): favora.bl}: with the world, pointing out that the Wasl'ungton (.}OY- experience of larger places where public health ernment.a‘l rea.d)i sonds ngpresaenta‘h yes to Sit in & F . an unofficial and consuiting capacity on four of work is carried on more extensively. 4 the most important social welfare commissions @ â€"â€"â€"._.â€"_.._._._.._.___.â€"_â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"*/of the League of Nations.

How to save Niagara Falls will be one of the greatest engineering problems of the future. Wns 3 | The head of the department of geology at an Amerxican University predicts that Niagara Falls will cease to flow in 2,000 years. This verdict has been reached after an investigation of the Great Lakes extending over a period of years. It is stated that by measuring the change in levels in the past and making careful records, engingers are able to estimate approxâ€" imately when‘the levels will be equal. And! when they are equal the flow over the falls will cease, states this authority. l In a special report to the convention of the United Farmers of Manitoba made by the diâ€" rectors of the organization, implicit belief in the principles of coâ€"operative marketing is deâ€" clared. The committee further reports that ‘"the system of selling our wheat through volâ€" untary contract pools should, given efficient management and wholeâ€"hearted support of all farmers, tend immeasurably to improve our. marketing conditions and secure a greater reâ€" turn to the producer." | | NIAGARA FALLS MAY CEASE TO FLOW | | IN 2,000 YEARS | A popular referendum will be taken on the plan.
