Muni- cipal authorities are urged by the Dominion Fire Commissioner, J. Smith, to bring to the attention of citizens, regulations affecting fire safe- ty, while school teachers are urged to give instrue- tion on fire prevention to the children, Bear in mind that Canada's annual fire loss is $45,000,000 and her loss in lives 350, And then do your part to make *'fire prevention week' a success, By so doing you will be rendering a last- ing service to the nation, wn Grove MAKING NEIGHBORS OF DISTANT LANDS One result of the export business being carried on by the General Mbtors of Canada is to famili- arize the people of Oshawa with the great world outside, Cities like Buenos Ayres, Cape Town, Sydney and a score of other places grow to mean something to even the school children as well as the '"man on the street." Take for example Buenos Ayres. of us.stop and remember that it is a city of a mil- lion and three quarters, that it is the largest eity in the world south of the Equator and also the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world, It has trebled its population in the past quarter of : century, partly as a result of heavy immigration and partly as a result of drawing on the rural parts of the country. It hat signi t that out of a total population in the Argentine Re publie of 7,000:000 that the capital contains 1, 750,000. But the "Paris of The South" to distinction in addition to that of size, It is the greatest seaport South America, and in the clearances of vessels it surpasses New Yok. Its foreign commerce is second only to that of New York in value. But it has also other claims to greatness. Buenos Ayres possesses the finest jockey club in the world, theatre in the Western Hemisphere and the most remarkable newspaper building in the world as well as the most artistic business street in the universe. The city also leads in exports of wool, surpasses all other places in the frozen meat trade and in the export of eorn and linseed. worlds great wheat exporting centres. it is a wonderful eity in a wonderful eountry, reason of the export business being carried on bere it has become a neighbor of ours. Perhaps few is 86 has other claims the most expensive It is also one of the Altogether by PROTECTING THE MILK SUPPLY During the diseussion at the last meeting of the Board of Health, in conneetion with instrueting Sanitary Inspector Fred Palmer to make investiga- tions regarding the eost that would be entailed by introdueing the tuberelin test for cows supplying milk to Oshawa, Dr. T. W. G. McKay, M.O.H. de elared that the use of this test was the only way by which all cattle could be examined for tubereulosis germs. The test, he also pointed out, would only be made with the consent of the owners of the cattle. The only other way to protect residents against tuberculosis was to see that all milk was pasteurized. Pasteurization was the cheap way of taking precautions, the M.O.IHL. pointed out. . If the tuberelin test were used, both the standard of the eattle and the milk would be raised. The tests would be made frequently, particularly when cattle were being changed. When interviewed by The Reformer Dr. MeKay stated that it would be advisable to have all milk delivered in Oshawa pasteurized before the step of introducing the tuberelin test was taken. Referring to pasteurization Dr. C'. J. Hastings, M.O.H. for Toronto, states that "'it was fully dem- onstrated in 1907 and 1908 in the Hygienic Labora- tories of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service at Washington, that heating milk to a temperature of from 140 degrees to 145 degrees Fo and holding it at that temperature for thirty min utes, would destroy all disease-producing germs, in- cluding the tubercle bacillus, which was found to be the most resistant of all, and at the same time would produce no appreciably injurious effeet upon the milk."

FROM OUR EXCHANGES WOMAN'S IMMODESTY (The Argonaut) The only lady bishop in the world has placed the blame of woman's immodesty on man's shoulders- it rightfully belongs. Bishop | Alma White, however, has not blamed man as such | much as man, the profiteer, The jeweler, the the hosier, are the tools of Satan to tempt where 'we suspect 50 furrier, vain woman, torso she falls for a string of beads, be they pearls or that excuse for a bared neck, Having stripped her shoulders, protect them. The logie is surprisingly simple, and the New York Times' indignant rebuttal to the contrary, agree with Bishop White, However, if the time should ever come when ladies' outfitters would not be almost exelusively women, if indeed they should ever be exclusively women, the condi- tion should be precisely the same. For it is the sinister dollar that tempts man to tempt woman, If a woman has a well-built upper paste, offer an she needs furs to we and not any perverse and innate wickedness pecu- liar to his sex. When woman herself becomes the designer and provender of her sex's attire she will have to endure the entire onus of her own iniquity. An argument this that should induce the wily sex to leave well enough alone. "A LITTLE N NONSENSE" Another man whose name is admirably adapted to his work is the Rev.

A BIT OF VERSE TELL HIM NOW If with pleasure you are viewing any work a man is doing, If you like him or love him, tell him now ; Don't withhold your approbation till the parson makes oration And he lies with snowy lilies o'e# his brow ; For no matter how you shout it, he won't really care about it; He won't know how many teardrops you have shed. If you think some praise is due him, now's the time to slip it to him. For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead. More than fame and more than money is the eom- ~ ment kind and sunny, And the hearty, warm approval of a friend. For it gives to life a savor, and makes you stronger, braver, And gives you heart and spirit to the end. If he earns your praise, bestow it; if you like him, lef him know it; Let the words of true encouragement be said; Do mot wait till life is over, and he's underneath the elover, every day.
