J. J. MIDDLETON Provincial Board of Health, Ontario Dr. Middleton will be glad to answer questions on Public Health mat- ters through this column. Address him at Spadina House, Spadina Crescent, Toronto. od A The ever-increasing number of wo- men employed in industry constitutes a health problem intricate and fm of the coming generation. The econ-| omic conditions of our time seem not only to make it necessary for women to supplenient the family income, but, in too many cases to assume the chief responsibility for the support of the home. It is therefore necessary to see that working conditions for wome are such as not to impair their health and efficiency. First of all it is neces- sary that a living wage for women be provided. In addition to the prescribed standards for women workers, viz. the eight-hour day, Saturday half- holiday, and no night work, many de- tails of importance need to be given attention. Experts agree on the fol- lowing: Good working conditions, fh- cluding adequate washing facilities; adequate and sanitary toilet accom- modations; dressing. rooms, clean workrooms with carefully adjusted lighting, ventilation and heating, plentiful and samitary drinking facil- ities; chairs, machines and work tables adjusted so that the workers can: either stand or sit at their work; carefully guarded machinery; elimina~ tion of the necessity for the constant standing or other postuce causing: physical strain, repeated lifting of, either man or woman, but while the former is usually through with work when he leaves his job at night, the latter has often several hours of housework to do after she gets home. This refers primarily to widows, and to wives of men either partially or totally incapacitated, who because of economic necessity have to earn money to support the family. Occupations such as wrapping and packing cigarettes, running an elec- trically-driven sewing machine which makes two thousand or more stitches a minute, or any process that requires an infinite number of rapid repetitions of the same movement must have a definite injurious effect on the nerves. A careful and full examination of the effects of this class of work is ex- tremely necessary. Posture or position while at work is another subject that has not been given sufficient attention in the past. A definite standard as to the kind of seat used, the back rest, the foot rest, the number of hours on stretch that women have to sit or stand at their work, are all matters of great concern to the health and comfort of those engaged in such occupations.. Lifting heavy weights is something that wo- men should not be asked or expected to do, while poisonous fumes and gasses have been found to have a much more serious effect upon women Nor of people in church or the park heavy weights or other abnormally, than upon men. It is known that lead As the crowds of the stars that look- fatiguing motions, and. the opera*ion| Poisoning in women may result in ed down upon me And that glittered and winked in' the dark. The dog and the plough and the hun- ter and all, : And the star of the sailor and Mars, These shone in the sky and the pail! by the wall Weuld be half-full of water and stars; They saw me at last and they chased me with cries, And they soon had me packed into bed, But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes, And the stars going round in my head. --Robert Louis: Stevenson. serra ---- When Things Stick. There are times when the cap of a fountain-pen vies with the limpet in sticking power. Sometimes, again, it is the serewed portion containing the nib that refuses to move when you want to fill your pen in a hurry. Either of these can be removed in a very simple way. Don't use force; get a broad rubber band and wrap it round the part that has stuck. Rub- ber grips well on even slippery vul- canite, and you will find that with its help your fingers will obtain such a firm hold that unscrewing is a matter of a moment. If the metal lid of a screw-topped glass jar refuses to move, wrap round it a strip of sand-paper with the rough side inwards. The rough surface bites of mechanical devices requiring undue strength; exposure to excessive cold, or to dust, fumes or other occupation- al poisons without adequate safe- guards against disease. Prohibition of employment of wa- men in occupations involving the use' oi poisons, which are proved to be! more injurious to women than to rien. Prohibition of home work and co- operation of workers in establishing health standards in industry. While the standards especially ap- ply to women, very few of them can be said to apply only to women. Take the question of long hours in the mill or factory, which is not good for! sterility or in children being dead- born, or in more of their babies dying during the first year of their lives. Taking Toronto as an example of Canadian cities, a recent investigation among industrial plants there reveal- ed the fact that one-third of all the i employees are women, and these be- ing largely of child-bearing age, the health problems thus raised are num- erous and extremely important.

TRY MAGNESIA FOR STOMACH TROUBLE It Neutralizes Stomach Acidity, Pre- vents Food Fermentation, Sour Gassy Stomach and Acid Indigestion. Doubtless if you are a sufferer from indigestion, you have already tried pepsin, pancreatin, charcoal, drugs and various digestive aids and you know these things will not cure your trouble --in some cases do not even give re- lief. But before giving up hcpe and de- ciding you are a chronic dyspeptic just try the effect of a little Bisurated Magnesia--not the ordinary commer- cial carbonate, citrate, or milk, but the pure Bisurated , Magnesia which you can obtain from practically any drug- gist in either powdered or tablet form. Take a teaspoonful of the powder or two compressed tablets with a little water after your next meal, and see what a difference this makes. It will instantly neutralize the dangerous, harmful acid in the stomach which now causes your food to ferment and sour, making gas, wind, flatulence, heartburn and the bloated or heavy, lumpy feeling that seems to follow most everything you eat. You will find that provided you take a little Bisurated Magnesia immedi- ately after a meal, you can eat almost anything and enjoy it without any dan- ger of pain or discomfort to follow, and moreover, the continued use of the bisurated magnesia cannot injure the stomach in any way so long as there are any symptoms of acid indi- gestion. Not Fair Play. Two small boys were puzzling their brains to invent a new game. At last one of them said, eagerly: "I know, Billy; let's see who can make the ugliest face." "Garn!

"So you want to be my son-in-law, do you?" asked the old man, with as much fierceness as he could assume.

When a glass stopper sticks, try tapping it gently on all sides with the back of a knife. Usually this will loosen it. But if it still remains fixed wind a thick piece of string round the neck of the bottle and roll its ends backwards and forwards half-a-dozen times. The heat set up by the frie- tion of the string will warm the glass, causing it to expand and loosening the stopper. Oe A Lazy Switcliman's in- vention. Few things are wholly bad.

Each night after that he sat by his fireside and worked the two signals without setting foot outside. Presently the railway authorities found out what he had done, repri- manded him for his indolence, promot- ed and rewarded him for his inge- nuity and then adopted his invention. On eee Minard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia 2 Plants That Follow the Sun. At this time of the year runner beans and many other climbing plants are making their" way up the hopes that support them. If you examine them you will find that those which climb by twining always twist in the same direction. The hop and the honeysuckle turn from left to right. The reason for this is that the sun moves in the same direction and the plants follow him. The side of the shoot which is turned towards the sun grows faster than that which is in the shadow, and the result is that the stalk is forced into a "clockwise" curve. The runner bean, however, and many other plants, twist in the op- posite direction. At first sight you might think that this disproved the explanation given above; but in reality it does not. Plants of this kind are affected differently by strong light and the heat of the sun. In their case, the side of the shidot which faces the sun shrinks a little under the heat and wraps the whole stalk into an "anti- clockwise" curve. -- ee ee Divorce Statistics.
