Yet little attention has been "paid to the serious death toll of another type of acei- "dents, those which ozcur in the field of industry, ! The report of the Workmen's Compensation Board J dor the first six months of 1929 shows that no Tess Yi$han 225 industrial accidents resulted in deaths. The ®xpenditures of the board in benefits to victims of accidents in the six months amounted to"$3991,000, Zan increase of over $470,000 over the amount expend- "pd in the first half of 1928. While it is true that the "humber of industrial fatalities'is fifty less than it was "An the same 'period last year, the number is tremen- Tdously high. For instance, were 25 people fo lose i their lives: in" automobile accidents in Ontario in six "months, there would be an outcry against the auto- mobile. Yet no one hears an outcry because that "number 'of persons lost their lives while in pursuit of their daily vocations. \. Accidents, of course, will occur in spite of - the "greatest of safognards, but ong would imagine that in the: field of industry the precautions taken _would be sufficient to reduce them to a minimum. This much desired end, however, will only come where * there is" the fullest' co-operation between thie em- ployers, in the form of proper safety devices, and the employees, in the constant observance of safety prin- ciples. 52 ) +5 "Tndustrial accidents are costly things, not only~in "human life, but in dollars and cents. The general "spublic has to pay the price for them, because the "ost of maintaining the workmen's" compensation 3ystem has to be borne by industry, has to be added "fo the overhead costs of industry, and is therefore "assed on to the consuming public in the price which "has to be paid for manufactured goods. : ' That is, perhaps, the smallest item to be consid- "ered, for human life is of more importance than mere 'dollars and cents. Yet it is a factor in the situation, "and one which should be taken into consideration by & all who have any part to play in creating conditions "svhich are liable to cause industrial accidents. 8 LOSSES BY. FIRE . 4 , ¥ pam------_ : - . = A startling "increase 'in 'fire's<toll 'of life: and pro- Zperty in Ontario during 1928 is recorded in the an- 'mual report of Fire Marshal Heaton. The number * sof lives lost by fire last year increased 80 per cent S6ver the previolis year, and stood at ninety-six. The property damdge was half a million dollars greater "$han in 1927 and the humber of fires by over 1,100. 5 This is a situation"which provides food for thought. "For years now the fire marshal has been reiterating "Ris injunction that the, great majority of fires could "he prevented by 'the exercise 'of ordinary care in re- Lmoving fire hazards and in avoiding those conditions Sawhich are conduclye to fire." + Loss of life and property by. f "waste that onc wonders that Public pinion is not Imore easily educated against it) The: firc marshal r % the most frequent , carelessness has y. fire is such a futile "reports that-smoking is listed as; "geason for fite§; "sa that, as he sta Ta great deal to do with it. oh.

Wherever you go you want a vacation un- eiled by any accident or discomfort. Nature is a untiful Hostess, but in- her.-rich stores are some- Simes hidden intocent-looking plants whish, if grown "familiar with, are apt to ruin an otherwise perfect . hofiday. Among these is poison ivy. Let us learn A few facts about this unpleasant dweller of inviting ks and luring woodland. : 5% Poison ivy is a climbing or trailing shrub,' with > d leaves in clusters of three, aerial roots and - Speonih flowers. The berries are white and waxy smooth. All parts of the plant, even when dried, contain an oil which soon after touching the skin | igaises a severe inflammation, and produces an in- tolerable itching. - The peison seéms most virulent 'when the plant is blooming. ~~ le "People often confuse poison ivy with Virginia "ereeper, the two vines sometimes growing together. he latter,-however, has five leaflets whichelack-the peculiar dark green shade of the poisonous plant. "will do much to prevent that by adding, "unless it is a Conservative govern- vided for drunken car drivers are not severe enough. "the greatest--on-record.- May. this-inter-change of | so especial habitat. It is fogad J i in ravines, and on thc border of woods; it climbs tall, trees and ncstles 'coyly in fence corners. It is any- where and 'everywhere, and the only sure way fo. avoid it is to watch your footsteps and restrain your- self from promiscuous picking, especially in the autumn when its gay coloring makes it a desirable ornament. : If you are unfortunate enough to become poisen- ed, wash the affected area with soap and water, then with alcohol. A dressing kept soaked in cold baking soda solution will relieve the pain and itching and prevent the spread of the poison. If the case is bad, consult your doctor. But prevention is the best cure, and prevention means Safety First! DROP IN LIQUOR EXPORTS If it is true, as reported from Detroit, that the new campaign against liquor smuggling at the border has resulted in a drop of liquor exports from 300 boat loads a night to ten a week, then the work of: the U.S. prohibition enforcement authorities is bear-. ing fruit. It is to be hoped that the report is true, and that the condition which it represents will be permanent. . j ' "The export traffic in liquor which goes on at the border is one of the darkest blots against the fair name of Canada. It is all very well for these who! are interested in it to say that no law of Canada is being broken, That may be true so far as man- made laws are concerned, but there is, nevertheless, a moral obligation on the part of Canada which should not be overlooked. . It should be no part of Canadian policy and prac tice to condone offences against the laws of a friendly neighbour. Yet that is what is being done every day. The situation which has thus been created is a serious one, for it is not a good thing that a state tantamount to warfare should be required to combat the liquor-smuggling' evil, If the campaign against smuggling has been as ef- factive as is claimed for it in the Detroit despatch, then it is worth continuing. It would be quite a fea- ther in the cap of Uncle Sam should liquor smugg+ ling be stopped in spite of the acquiescence of the Canadian authorities, LOVING ONE'S WORK A few days ago in Toronto, on retiring from the teaching profession after twenty-one years of service, the assistant principal of a schoo! was presented with a number of gifts. Séught out by a newspaper re- porter, she 'was asked to discuss her teaching ex- perience, which she did in striking terms. But there was one sentence in her remarks which stood out above all the rest. It was: * "Teaching is the greatest profession in the world" It was no wonder that this teacher was showered with gifts when she retired. She had that touch of the right perspective towards her chosen task in life which ensures success. Her remark showed that she not oaly loved her profession, but was an en- ; thusiast over it, | That is the spirit towards one's tasks which makes life pleasant to face of even the hardest of duties. The man or woman whose reaction towards the daily 'task. is like that of this school teacher will never find that|task burdensome or irksome. Work will become a pleasure, and in the enthusiasm fdr it, gréat things will be accomplished. To love one's work is a sign that the right niche in life has been found, and that, even if the highest place in life, as viewed from the material standpoint-is not reached, there will be a joy. in the knowledge of a duty well done, of a task which is a labdr of love, that will go far towards the attainment of that great goal of happiness. assem eat FAITH IN HUMAN NATURE A London bus-owner having failed to secure a license to operate a line of busses in that city, has adopted a novel method of overcoming this handicap. He has placed a bus on the streets, and is taking passengers on it, but is not charging any fare. In- stead, he is leaving it to them. to make voluntary contributions of whatever amount they wish. This Londoner is showing an abundant faith in human nature. He is, "in a sense, making a gamble that the people who ride in his bus will be sufficiently grateful to him for the service rendered to make such contributions as will make it a paying proposition, In seme cities, Galt, for instance, he. would have a hard time making a living, but since London has not a large percentage of Scotsmen in its population, he may get along very nicely.

THAT the business concerns who study the preferences and demands of their community and who advertise consistently in local pers are the concerns who ar an ever increasing volume of business. Quality, up-to-date goods and newspaper advertising are the prime requisites of 'success, Women like to read the adver- tisements. In fact, they usually read the ads before they shop in order to know where the best bargains are to be found. With men, time seems to count more. When it comes to shopping they are always in a hurry. They know what they want, look over the ads, find who has what they want, go right there, buy it, and then on their usual business. People today are busier than ever, accomplishing more and having more fun doing it, and ap- pPreciating more and more what the service of newspaper adver- tising is doing for them. Newspaper advertising offers every business concern am opportunity to increase profits by increasing sales. Newspaper advertisements offer every citizen an opportunity to save money, as everything worth having is advertised. Leading business concerns know that newspaper advertising is essen- to success. FORTUNE HAS SMILED ON THOSE CONCERNS WHO HAVE BEEN CONTINUOUS ADVERTISERS. THEY HAVE SHOWN AN AMAZING PRO- GRESS AS A RESULT OF AD- VERTISING. That Body of Bours By James W. Barton, M.D. THE MEAT DIET I have. spoken before about two strong men one of whom ate meat three times a day, and the other had not. eaten meat in two years. They both worked hard; the meat eater in a foundry and the non meat eater in a bakery. The non meat eater ate eggs daily instead of meat. : I wrote also about Steffanson the explorer who lived on meat only for years in the Arctic regions, and saw no cancer; also of MoGarrison who, lived in a portion of India where nd «| meat was:eaten and likewise saw no cancer. You naturally wonder therefore about the eating of meat, and wheth- er or not it is a safe food for those of us who live in a temperate clim- ate where it is neither very hot or very cold. Drs. Leit and Tolstoi report an ex- periment of the effects of a diet com- posed of meat only, on two healthy explorers who had spend many years in the Arctic Circle, and while there had lived for the greater part of the time on practically 100 per. cent. meat and fat diet. They were first given a thorough examination, and found to be in ex- cellent physical condition. ; Examinations were then made of the chemical contents of the blood. Both men ate nothing but meat cooked or raw. Two experienced dietitians prepared and served the meat. ; Both men were up and about and took their exercises in walking. The experiments were continued for 11 months, and. were done in duplicate. What: was the result? They felt no ill effects, maintain- ed their weight, and were in excel- lent health, and no evidence of any kidney disturbance. could be found. Now 'does this 'medns that every- body should eat only meat. or that it would be safe for everybody to eat only meat? No. These were two healthy men whose systems were used to such a diet and: who walked every day in the open air. It does mean however that if you are a healthy individual and live an outdoor life with plenty of exercise that you can eat meat in safety. It is an ideal builder.

A SAFE PLACE FOR SAVINGS SUBMARINE DEATHS NOW TWENTY-FOUR Twenty Ships of Navy Rush to Scene of Disaster Pembroke, Wales, July . 10.-- Navy experts and divers today en- tertained only the slenderest hope of saving any of the 21 men aboard the British submarine, H-27, which sank 20 miles due west of Fish- guard this morning, after a colli- sion with the submarine L-12 dur- ing surface manoeuvres with 18 other submarines, The flotilla was en route from Lampash to Ports- mouth Naval Station. Twenty ships of the British Navy rushed tonight to the rescue of the H-47, lying 270 feet below the surface of St. George's Chan- nel. Salvage operations, with Pem- broke docks as cheir base, will be- under the personal direction of Rear-Admiral H. E. Grace, com- Portsmouth, The total casualties of the colli- sion reached 23 tonight with the death of Arthur Sampson, injured seaman of the L-12, Chief Signal- ler Bull of the 1-12, reported missing, is believed dead. Only two members of the crew of 23 of the H-47 were saved. Liuetenant R. J. Gardner, com- manding officer, and Telegraphist Sidney Cleburne were believed to have been hurled into the sea from her conning tower by the shock of the collision. The salvage fleet includes the battleship Rodney, from which div- ing operations will be -conducted: the destroyers Tilbury, Vivian and Thanet, four mine-sweepers, five submarine chasers, three lighters, two- seagoing" tugs and two flying boats. Was Training Ship At the time of the disaster the H-27 was serving as "a training ship, and the composition of her crew. was . 'subject to continual changes. This was her second collision. In 1926 she collided with the L-22 in the English Channel, but the dam- age was slight and no lives were lost.

Fifth and Sixth Submarine Flo- tillas were dispersing after a week of large-scale operations in the Irish Sea. The worst British submarine disaster since the war occurred in 1925, when the H-1 sank off Star Point with a loss of 68 lives. Professor Leonard Erskine Hill, member of the Army Medical Ad- visory Board, came to Pembroke tonight to give technical advice from the medical standpoint on deep-water diving. The submarine L-12 limped into Pembroke dock at § o'clock to- night. She will be overhauled to see the extent of her damage, The L-12 was apparently only slightly damaged, and proceeded to Milford Haven under her own power. She anchored in the har- bor there. Ocean salvage experts thought it would be possible to locate the hull if the weather continued fine, but the great depth at which it lay would make diving operations most difficult. . sent The tragedy today brought the total of lives lost in submarine disasters since the Great War to 221. There have been 17 such dis- asters in all, . The H-47 was. of 500 tons dis- placement, and was, built in Eng- land, in 1918. The first of her type was built in parts in the United States, assembled at Montreal dur- ing the early stages of the war and was sént to Europe under its own power. T.
