Robertson Lauds Principles of Mothercraft Society TORONTO. â€" The tenets of the Canadian Mothercraft Society, branch of a parent society which has been reducini? infant mortality since 1907, were upheld and strengthened by a recent address in Convocation Hall, Toronto, when Dr. Burton T. Simp- »on, of the State Institute for Mal- ignant Disease, Buffalo, declared that breast feeding of infants was one of the safeguards against can- cer. The Mothercraft Society goes further in its declaration of faith in breast feeding and in its other na- tural health principles. The president of the Canadian Mothercraft Society, Mrs. Robert- ion, whose husband, the late Irving E. Robertson, of the Toronto Tele- gram, was the founder of tho or- fanization of which his wife was the exponent, believe three generations can go a long way towards wiping «nt cancer and kindred evils. "It has been proved that breast feeding reduces the danger of infec- tion to a minimum," declared Mrs. Robertson the other day, "and it is obviating the danger of cancer. If public opinion and funds were di- rected towards fundamentals â€" proper prenatal and postnatal care of bab- ies, stressing breast feeding, fresh air and sunshine, and an intelligent- ly simple diet, which would supply the growing needs of the body in natural form, the results would be phenomenal. And think of the huge •nms now necessary for remedial measures which would become avail- •ible for education and constructive kealthbuilding. In three generations we could revolutionize the human race." One catches the spirit of the cru- â- ade, listening to Mrs. Robertson in the sunny advice rooms of the Can- adian Mothercraft Society, at 112 College St., which received visits from over 8,000 mothers anu babies last year. And one has the urge to hurry the movement to every corner <rf Canada as it has gone to all oth- er parts of the Empire since the founding of the original society in New Zealand in 1907 by Dr. (now Sir) Truby King. Industry Discovers Uses For Waste Farm Material Til Be a Farmer' A Sense of Humor Mr. F. M. Dowsett, an advertising executive, is a staunch advocate of application of a sense of humor to everyday life. He maintains that if Canada's financial men would e.x- ercise this characteristic they would effect a standard of living calculat- ed to make them laugh at their pre- tIous existence. Ho proposes a sense of humor typical of that employed by soldiers "during the World War. Their spirit kept thousands of men from collapsing, he states. There is sound advice in Mr. Dowsett's suggestion. A sense of humor enables one to win or lose graciously; it is especially useful in the lives of politician.*!. The man who can "hand it out" and yet ab- •orb return sallies in good form will stand the gaff much longer than a thin-skined fellow. Usually the chap possessing the ability to smi:e easily and enjoy a laugh at his own expense is blessed with a thick hide. There is some- thing pathetic about the thin-skined man, on the other hand, and there are too many of them around today. Timothy Seed Supply Is Plentiful The supply of timothy seed this year will far exceed the demand, consequently the price is lower than It has been for a long time and there is exceptional opportunity for farm- ers who require seed to purchase only the best quality. At the time of writing the price of No. 1 seed in Montreal is $4.50 per hundred pounds. This is 25 per cent, of the price de- manded last season. There is seldom any serious doubt regarding the germination of timothy seed, but too much attention cannot be paid to its purity or freedom from weed seeds. If a farmer buys a horse which turns out to be unsatisfactory for his purposes, he can dispose of it by some means, making the best of a bad bargain, and forget about the in- cident. Unfortunately the same can- not be done with a lot of seed for field crops which contains weeds seeds. If weed infested seed is once put into the ground it cannot be for- gotten as the weeds will be a contin- ual reminder. This is particularly true if the weed seeds are from a perennial such as Ox-eye Daisy. This weed is mentioned because it is one of the weeds clas.^ed as Primary Nox- ious under the Seeds Act, and one which is very commonly found in tim- othy. The seed is difficult to remove during the process of cleaning and easily passed over when a sample is being examined for impurities. Over 20 per cent, of the samples from the 1934 crop which were analyzed in the Seed Laboratory at. Ottawa contain- ed Ox-eye Daisy. In these samples the average number of the seeds of this weed was 33.1 per ounce. Any lot of timothy seed containing this number of Ox-eye Daisy would be re- jected as unfit for seed under the Seeds Act. A simple calculation will show the number of Ox-eye Daisy seeds which would be sown per acre if this seed were used. Since timothy seed is plentiful and the price low this season every care should be taken in the purchase and only the cleanest seed should find its way into the ground. The Seed Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture aims to encourage tho more general use of good seed by promoting the pro- duction of seeds of superior quality in Canada.

OTTAWA. â€" Style sense of wo- men in relief recipients' families brings hoartbuwi to the breasts of workers in the Ottawd neighborliood services. Mrs. C. H. Thorburn, acting chair- man of the neighborhood services, told the board of control that per- sons, particularly women, receiving direct relief refuse to accept recon- ditioned .shoes. They want new foot- wear, even of the cheapest kind. The neighborhood services asked the board to approve opening of a retail store to dispose of accumula- tions of rebuilt .shoes, reconditioned clothing, furniture and other goods to the public. "People on relief," said Mrs. Thor- burn, "are the most particular in Ottawa. They won't take this cloth- ing and footwear." Canada Has High Place In British Market Figures compiled by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics show that for the year 1935 Canada had first place in the British import market for many important products. Canadn was first in wheat, oats, oatmeal, wheat flour, apples, canned lobster, copper ore, pulp for industrial luir- poses, aluminum ingots, unwrout'ht copper, zinc, non-ferrous metals, photograph plates and films, patent leather, rubber boots and shoes, rub- ber manufacturers.

"With an im- provement in general economic con- ditions and a closer co-operation be- tween growers and purchasing com- panies in the marketing and pro- duction of flue-cured and Burley tobaccos, the price situation is much j improved over 1933, particularly in Ontario," states the "Agricultural Situation and Outlook" for 1036. Authorities feel, however, that in the case of flue-cured tobacco the pro- bable demand in 193G does not call for any increase in acreage over that of 1935. Although the acreage devot- i ed to Burley in 1935 was not as large as anticipated, an increase of over 10 per cent, in acreage of this type, does seem to be warranted for 193(). Other tyjios of tobacco appear to have reached a satisfactory acre- age, based on present consumption figures. The only items of tobacco products to show a decline in consumption in 1935 were plug and snuff. These commodities appear to be somewhat less in fashion for tho present at least. Withdrawals of cigarettes from bond for consump- tion in 1934 were 14 per cent, great- er than in 1933 and in 1935 this figure I was 21 per cent, over that of 1933. I Exports of tobacco to the United | Kingdom declined in 1935, but the I outlook appears to be moie oncourag- '[ ing.

To Urge Milk Pasteurization (Editorial In Heakh, Lh© Journal of the Canadian Social Hygiene Coun. cil.) Plans are under way whereby the Health League of Canada will organize a national Committee on Milk. The objective of this committee will be tile universal pasteurization of milk in Canada. The importance of pasteurization of milk as a mean? for safeguarding health has been repeatedly discussed in this Journal and as far as possible in each issue Milk will continue to be a major topic of discussion. But it has been realized that this Is not enougli. A very large proportion of tlie people of Carada are exposed to the dangers of drinking raw milk. Raw milk con- veys disease and although milk is perhaps the most important of all of our foods, unpasteurized, it may be a positive menace. There are many reasons why people till continue to drink raw mill;. The most important is ignor- ance and tlie reiteration again and again of tho truth will result in a demand for pa.-!teurization. but the effective reiteration of tlie facts re- quirs greater machinery than is pro- vided even by the magazine, "Health." Or;>an:zation is needed and the utilization of every mean.s of pulilicity if a demand is to bo cre- ated which is likely to result in ac- tion. In addition, more effective health machinery is needed if there is to be effective action. "Health" is of the opinion, for exani))!e, that so long as we have the part-time health officer system over a great part of Canada, we will achieve little either in the direction of get- ting milk pasteurized or raising health standards generally. For this rcat^on a tlemand for Iiasteurization must be part of a de- mand for better health service in general. This demand will be organiz- ed by the Health League of Canada â€" and education as to the need for universal pasteurization will be part of the larger programme. For tliis reason a special committee or .sec- tion to specialize in the whole ques- tion of milk, its consumption and safety, will be a "lefinite part of the educational macbinci^' in the pioccss of formation. First Impression (St. Catharines Standard) An editorial in the Rotarian Maga- zine quotes an outstanding arciiirect who confessed himself amazed with the neglect so many progressive cities impos© upon them.selves in failure to attempt any beautification of tho immediate territory In a community which railway trains enter and leave. It is quite true in this case that the visitor is lirst im- pressed with a down-at-thc-heel shabbiness of sun'oundings. If such neglect is damaging to a community around a r;iilway right- of-way, how much more so when it extends to 'lie highway entrances and exists. But if tho giver doesn't let his left hand know what his right hand doea, some other hand claims the credit.
