J. Conboy, of To- ronto, who is in charge of dental ser- vices for the Provincial Board of Health at a banquet last night in Welsh's Parlor's of the Ontario County Medical Association, which was also attended by members of the Ontario County Dental Association and representatives of various or- ganizations. If the mouth is kept in a healthy condition the number of contagious diseases will be reduced. The chilu ren of today do not know how to méasticate their food properly. "They are not taught as they should be and are given soft foods when foods that need masticating should be given--our teeth were given us to use," Dr. Conboy stated. The speaker told how impacted teeth were the cause of nervous and mental diseases. 'He cited a story to illustrate how a cure had rapidly occurred in a mental case after im- pacted teeth had been removed. Because we are given 32 teeth. some people think it no harm to lose one, Dr. Conboy said, but it throws out of occlusion five other teeth. If people would eat less su- gar in the form of candy and pas- try and more fruit and vegetables there would be a better dental con- dition. He urged the prevention of dental diseases by regular inspection from a dentist. Children should have # regular inspection. of their teeth for the purpose of locating any small cavities, which could receive atten- tion before they become too serious Adults should have a dentist in- spect their teeth in order 'to safe- guard against losing any of them Dr. Conboy declared. Dental defects will cause meptal retardation and he pointed out that 20 per cent of Board of Education cxpenses were lost through children **ho spend more than one term |° i class. Dr. Conboy urged the ne cessity of people taking their chila ren regularly to the dentist from when they became two years of age upwards. In closing the speaker pleadzd for the bes' of cooperation betwean the medical and dental professions. In (Continued on page 5) SMALL SURPLUS FOR HORTICULTURISTS Elect A. J.

President's Report, The Oshawa Hospital was opened 'n the year 1910 in a new building, paving a capacity of sixteen beds-- subsequently, a Nurses' residence was bufit, and later enlarged. In 1918 the Pedlar Surgical Wings. (n 1923 the MoLaughlin Maternity wing were construeied, . -finally m 1924 the old central portion was :nlarged by wadding a story providing X-Ray Department, Laboratory, Dispensary, Operating nd other rooms, which greatly in- 2reased the efficiency of the Hos- ital. The present capacity of the Hos- 7ital may be summarized as fol- lows: Total Cotal Public Beds . Semi-Private Beds . fotal Private Beds A Potal Children's Cots ..... , Operating Rooms, equipped . 4 {-Ray Suite, rooms, ; 4 Laboratory, equipped; Case Room nd Nursery, etc. Diet Kitchens, Laundry (separate building), Nurses' Residence (separate build- ng). It is a matter of jinterest (hat the hospital has been consructed and maintained without Municipal, 24 18 - 18 . 20 County or Government aid, except- ing only the grants from year to year. 'These grants have not been large and indeed are the smallest per unit of population made to their public hospitals by any town or city im Ontario, with a popula- tion under 30,000. This no doubt has been the case because public spirited citizens have been most generous in donating buildings, equipment and money. In this connection I wish to especially ac- knowledge a donation of $500.00 (Continued on page 6) Changes Position Prohibition Work (By Canadian Press) Toronto, Jan. 14.--Ben H.

REFORMER FROM CHRISTIAN SCIENCE OFFICIAL Says Publicity in McMahon Case Was Not Called For CENSURES DR, RUNDLE Claims Prayer Treatment Pro- vided for Under Ontario Laws The following official cation has been received Britton Foster, Christian Committee on Publication Province of Ontario, in connection with the published statements of Coroner Dr. Rundle concerning the death of Gwendoline MeMahon. As it is always our policy to give both sides of any apparent controversy. we herewith print Mr. Foster's letter in full: To the Editor: Sir: May I be commauni- from Mr. Science for the allowed to comment briefly on the procedure of Cor- oner Dr. F. J. Rundle, last week. in connection with the death of lit- tle Gwendoline McMahon, and to correct some misstatements report- »d to have been made by him, which misrepresent and do grave injustice to Christian Science. | am sure, Sir, 'his being the case, your usual journalistic courtesy will accord this official correction equal promi- nence to that given the reports necessitating it. Doubtless the coroner, holding, as he does, a position under the govr- ernment, regrets the uneaviable situation in which he has place him- self through ignorance of the laws of the state. Losing the poise and dignity usually characteristic of the majority of the members of his own profession, and indulging in per- sonal and professional animosity, he unfeelingly and with Middle Age intolerance, invaded a home of mourning, and publicly displayed the grief of parents in the loss of a little daughter.

County Medicol Association QUOTES FROM SURVEYS .Great Percentage of People More Efficient at 68 Degrees The marked effect of temperat ure on the efficiency of a person in their work or the children in a school was told yesterday afternoon by J. H. Elliott, Toronto, in an ad- dress to the Ontario County Medical Association. The ventilation oi rooms, shops and - schools comes within the province of the health of- fices, More attention should be paid as to whether the atmosphere in the school, factory or home is too high, too dry or too moist, the speaker declared. Surveys, he said, showed that there was 6.3 more efficiency am- ong typists working in an office with the temperature at 68 than at 75 degrees and that the efficiency of a person in physical work was 15 per cent higher when the temperature was 68 than if it was 75 degrees. The question of ventilation, was not as important as that of atmosphere, Dr. Elliott said. Every effort should be made, he said, to keep the living rooms, school rooms and workroom at a temperature of 68 degrees or below. Twenty per cent of the children attending school are mouth breath- ers, Dr. Elliott declared. This can not be, he said, without a goodly number of them developing bron- chitis. This is occasioned by some nasal obstruction, adenoids or ton- sils and children whe have not dis eased adenoids or tomsils are much less subject to respiratory diseases The physician must closely. guard against cross infection in dealin: with respiratory diseases. Pneumon ja was not a single disease, but . group of diseases which may be pro duced by a number of organisms influenza did not kill anyone, bu it was the complication of pneumon ia that did, stated the speaker. This also applied, he said, to whooping cough and measles. Anyone suf- tering from whooping cough, cold or measles should be kept separate from anyome suffering from acute respiratory infection. In referring to tuberculosis, Dr Elliott, stated, that fifty per cent. of the children leaving school have tubercular infection and in the ma- jority of cases of active tuberculosis in young men between 20 and 30 (Continued on page 5) CHURCH SUPPORTS 3 NATIVE PASTORS 56th Annual Meeting of the Oshawa Baptist Church is Held The 56th annual meeting of Em- manuel Baptist Church, Oshawa, was held last might with a good attend- ance of the members and adheronts present. Supper was served by the ladies of the Church. The Pastor Rey. John Gait, presided. J. C. An- derson, Clerk of the Church, pre- sented an encouraging report show- ing a met gain of twelve in member- ship, the total membership now be- ing 149. Reference was made in the report of the Clerk to the resigna- tion during the year of Rev. J. L. Harton, Pastor, and the call exten- ded to the present pastor, Rev. John Gat. also to the loss by death of the Senior Deacon of the Church, J. W. Holman. A particularly interesting fact an connection with the Church work is that among the membership and various organizations the Church is supporting three native Pastors in india. This link with the foreign mission enterprise is strengthened by the inclusion in the membership of a Canadian Baptist Missionary, Rev. J. J. Scott. . The Church Treasurer's report showed total receipts for the year of $1962.60. in addition the Church raised $127.73 for missions. The Sunday School reported an active year in all departments. The primary section raised $2590 for missions, in addition to contributing toward current expenses. The total receipts of the main school, were $116.31 for general s and $125.09 or ssisiops, ATA being app to support of a native Pastor and the erection of new buildings in the foreign field.

NO CERTAINTY HOW BALANCE WILL GO Alfred Speakman, Progres- sive, is Among Afternoon Speakers -- J.%J. Dennis, Liberal, Continues His Speech at Opening of House This afternoon. (By Canadian Press) Ottawa, Jan. 14.--Robert Forke. leader of the Progressives, it is un- derstood, will not address the House on the Meighen non-confidence am- endment which is expected to come to a vote late tonight and decide the fate of the King Government. One Progressive, however, Alfred Speak- man, of Red Deer, is listed among the speakers for this afternéon. J. J. Dennis, Liberal, Joliette; will con- tinue his speech as soon as the House opens at three o'clock, There is no certainty just how the balance will swing. Both Liberals and Conserva- tives are confident they will win on a small majority, Now that the position of J. W. King, of North Huron, has been 'egularized by a substitute return of he Returning Officer, he will be ble to vote in the coming division and the Conservatives will need to get 7 Progressive voates to defeat the 'overnment. 'The seven Progressive votes would give the Conservatives 2 majority of twe in the full House. With six the House would divide 'qually and the speaker would have he casting vote. Jammed galleries, hourly consul ations of the Progressive bargain ounters, whispered interviews in the orridors, the members' rooms ind the restaurant, and aushed attention to some speeches which at any other time. would be delivered to scores of emp- ty seats, are all impressive testimony to the momentous character of the present Parliamentary erisis. The situation is tense, and it is baffling. Anyone who is dogmatic about its outcome or about what will develop 2 few hours from now causes cyni- cal amusement. It is not fashion- akle to know anything about it. History in the Making Everybody knows, though, that it is fateful. "We are here, mot to study history, but to make it," said "Chubby" Powers, the Liberal mem- ber for Quebec South, in the House vesterday afternoon, when deriding the time and effort spent by some preceding speakers in dilating upon passages from comstitutional history. First One Story, Then Another Almost at hourly periods yester- day there came varying stories about what would happen. First the Government was "safe"; then Mr. Meighen was "in sure." Then, some of the few Progressives who | had promised him support were wavering. That, too, has been the tale for most of today. This morn- ing it was confidently stated by some Progressives and by the Con- servatives that the latter had their | fingers on the reims of power. To- | Local Firemen Have No Use For Hot Dogs Members of the local Fire Department have sworn off hot dogs because two lonely little hot dogs called them out of their beds at 12.80 this moming to run across the street to quell the trouble they hal creaied. The two little dogs were left in a frying pan on a grill. with the electric power turned on at Dn. DD. Mullin's establishment ut Richmond and Simcoe streets, They created sweh a smoke that an alarm was turned in by a police constable who thought the building was on fire.

Motorists no longer remember the village on ac- count of its lack of fllumination alone but may now learn some of its more worthy causes for remem- brance, ESCAPING GAS. CHILDREN ILL Take Fainting Spells, Loose Gas Jet Thought To Be Responsible, Yesterday morning a rather unique accident occurred when the two young daughters of Messrs. Henry Rorabeck and Arthur Grey, 217 McKim street, took a series of fainting spells, both little girls living in the same house. About 9 o'clock little Audrey Grey, who had been playing. suddenly be- gan to yawn, and almost immediately fainted. Mrs. Rorabeck, who lives on the ground floor, was called, and the two ladies restored Audrey to con- sciousness with cold water. No sooner had Audrey began to feel alright than Gloria, two year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Rorabeck. who had fol- lowed her mother upstairs, iainted. ~~ | She also revived with cold water on her face and was apparently alright. No sooner, however, had she started to play around than she fainted again, just before fainting. yawning, and seemed to be very tired. More cold water brought her about again and Mr. Rorabeck was called home rom work. Shortly after he arrived home she took a third spell similar to the others, each lasting about two minu- tes. Dr. Cameron ordered her to bed and by noon both little tots were ieel- ing as well as ever. Coal gas is thought to have been. the cause of the trouble. » Fined $5 and Costs » Trespassing Charge Charged with tresspassing on Cana- dian Pacific Railway property, Frank Godirey and Albert Richardson of Belleville, were fined with costs by Magistrate Hind this morning.

Both men have had previ- ous convictions. night, again, there is a different | story. Conservatives Missed a Obhance "Tory stock hit the high-water mark last night," was the statement today of a well-informed man not unfriendly to' the Conservative cause. » Many of Pickering's life-long resi- | dents have waited with various | degrees of patience and impatience for this time and as various at- | tempts to secure a line failed it is to the credit of the town fathers and others that they adhered rigid- | ly to the old copy book advice, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Even when the contracts were signed last year many having lost faith scoffed at the possibility of the scene materializing, but if some scoffed, the necessary number sign- ed contracts and the long looked for day has arrived. It is felt that this day should go down togposterity as a very momen- tous one although outsiders may not entirely agree with us, A large number of houses are wired and a number were able to immediately switch on while some must wait for the installation of metres and fixtures. " U'p to the present no provision has been made for the street lights which are also badly and' will doubtless follow in short time.
