Decarle, inspector-genera] of thé Provincial Department of Health, In commenting recently on the present campaign being carried on for the elimination of epidemic diseases, Of the 176, 400 ¢hildren under 10 registered in the province, more than 58,- 227 have been inoculated three times, which makes them im- mune from diphtheria, while, many more have been inoculated once or twice. Shortly there will be a much larger proportion of immune children, "No campaign of the kind," sald Dr. Decarie, "has ever been carried on before in the prov. ince and while Intensive work has been done in the larger centres of population, such as Montreal, where some 20,000 children had been immunized, much remained to be dome in outlying parts. "In 1929," he continued, "the death rate from diphtheria was 14.9 per 1,000. That is to say, that 400 children died whose lives could have been saved with proper care. lp Junc last when the survey was completed, how- ever, préventive measures were being taken in 23 counties in the province where facilities were given in 19 clinjes." solation prize.

Activity is the keynote of the Centre. Under wise .eader- ship, the men have been encour. aged to form committees and as- sume responsibility for their own entertainment, In athletics the men have organized into teams. do far representatives of 13 na- tlonalities have used the Centre, but there is mo racial feeling. There are a large number of Englishmen who are soccer ex- perts and the French-Canadians took to the game under their tutelage as a duck takes to water. '""Ask for any book or maga- zine you may fancy," is the le- gend on the wall of the "library." A cheap alarm clock is hung over the librarian's desk, with the words "Correct Time" in both French and English. This little service helps the men who have long since parted with their watches, The librarian, a well educated scholarly Englishmen, Is one of the unemployed. He has all the volumes under his care in excellent order. "We have numerous requests for books on technical subjects, especially éngineering,'"" he sald Lo a news- paper man, "Popular Mechanics is the most appreciated magazine we have, and the detective and 15 cent fictioh come next," It is in the auditorium on the top floor, which seats 600 men, that the real goad times are had. The entertainment committee, chosen from the men themselves, provides a show every afternoon from 2.30 to 6 p.m. In the short time they have heen on the job much talent has been discovered. "We have dancing, too," it was explained by the superintendant in charge. 'Aesthetic dancing and square dances, Some of the num- bers are quite original. We have a gramophone and another fave ourite is an orchestra cermprised of an accordion accompanied by two mouth organs, Every day we award a prize of a package of tobacco to the best singer, the best story teller and the best dancer. The audience determines ther winners by the amount of applause they bestow upon the performer." The average attendance at the Recreational Centre is 4,000 per day, NEW TREATMENT FOR DIGESTIVE TROUBLES SEEN Ten Years of Experimental Work Is Now Bringing Good Results Montreal, Que.----Ten years of experimental work in therapeutic medicine by a blind Montreal phy- glcian may lead to fmpbrtant ad- vances in the treatment of gas- tric ulceration and other ail ments of the digestive system, and more prosaically, may serve to act as a cure for seasickness, air sickness and auto sickness, This was revealed recently In an interview with Dr. Ross Pren- dergast of this city, a graduate of Queen's and McGill Universities, who despite the tragic handicap of ten years loss of sight, has dur {ng that time carried on clinical work in acute inflammation of the stomach, acute gastritig, and acute indigestion. Dr. Prendergast's researches, it {s hoped, will prove the fact that these diseases of the stomach, which are both distressingly un- comfortable, dug to vomiting, and painful, can be treated more ef- foctively than under the present méthod. Dr. Prendergast annunced: "By a rest of a short time the in- flamed lining would ably enjoy a healing process. But the moment vomiting ensues the lining is rub- bed together and the inflammation is renewed. The prime necessity is to impart immediate rest to the stomach yet the profession has been unable to give that. My discovery enables us to proffer res lie@ and that much needed rest. By hypodermic Injection given each day, preferably laté in the evening, instantaneous relief to acuté inflammation will be given. "In this way we can secure complete rest and a good night's sleep. The patient can enjoy a soft diet and no further care on the rt of the physician 1s nejessary. 0 special nurse is réquiréd and the patient sleeps well. The next aftérnoon the patient can enjoy a short nap and in the evening he is ready for another injection. This injection repeated four smc. cessive evenings constitutes the treatment." \ The treatment is described as 'an {isotonic asceptic fluid com- plex in make-up" that is given in quantities of 12 to 15 drops ad- ministered hypodermically. The doctor is a son of the late Major Edward Ross ndergast, ade of artillery during the world war, Before blindness struck him suddenly overnight, he was port physician for a number of local steamship companies. / ' who commanded the G.T.R.

The manager beamed upon them. He held out his hand, held out both hands, and his smile set his rosy face aglow. Rowena and Peter had their own opinions of hotel managers and accepted his friendly overtures with watchful coldness. "Meeker's my name," said the manager genially. "And I'm proud to meet you." They all shook hands, and Rowe ena nudged Peter to be very cares ful and not commit himself. "Come right along with me," said Mr. Meeker. "We had a wire from the company not two hours ago saying you would be in today withe out fail. But I must say it 1s a res lif to have you right here on the spor." They all got into the elevator. The boy at the control smiled at them--a friendly smile. They got out on the fourth floor. A eouple of maids were loitering in the corridor. Their faces lighted up with interest and attention. "Everything ready?" asked the manager anxiously. "Everything all right, I hope." "Oh, yes, sir," said one of the maids. "Yes, indeed sir" added the other, But they looked at Rowena and Peter, The manager led the way down the corridor. "Here you are folks," he an- nounced in a voice of happy tri- umph as he threw open the door. "Our bridal suite!" "Oh, look, Rowena! Isn't that nice?" said Peter fatuously. : "How lovely!" said Rowena faint. Ye. The bridal suite was a bower of roses. There was a heap of congra- tulatory letters and telegrams piled high on the table and several con- spicuous packages, wrapped in tissue and tied with yinbont, with gift cards prominently displayed, "Congratulations, folks," said the manager, beaming rosily from one to the other. "Best wishes of Spo- kane, Washington.---~Not bad, eh? Pretty fair!--=Well, the Company wired us to spare no expens¢ and send them the bill, and I guess we filled the order, We tried to, any- how.

He and Peter shook hands, Peter yery solemn, Mr. Meeker perspiring and jovial. "Guess there's no harm in kissing the bride, eh?" said the manager, with a playful dig of a sharp elbow into Peter's ribs, "It's a custom I don't think much of, as a usual thing, but brides don't often come as pretty as this one." Rowena ligingly ited her loves ly lips, and Mr. Meeker kissed her with resounding relish. "Now, I'll te Jou what the pros ram is," he said cheerfully, "The ocal Rackruff dealer is going 10 give a big dinner dance in our balls room tonight-=especially in you! honoreswell affair, They've invite all the Rackruff dealers and sales men in the state, and they say a couple flew in from Oregon this Blofning on Jurnose to at thd.

"How marvelous," said Rowena soberly. "How unusual!" added Peter. "And now I'm going to leave you folks to rest and clean up for the big doings," said Mr. Meeker. "If there's anything i want, you just ask for it. If we haven't got it, we'll get it. And it won't cost you a cent. Well, guess I'll just kiss the bride and be on my way." "You did kiss the bride," Peter reminded him. "Well, I'm partial to brides and 1 five good measure, It's a rule of the ouse," he said jovially. And once more Rowena tilted her owlishly solemn face to be kissed. When he had gone, and the door was closed and locked behind him, RIDES "Gosh, Peter, whatever will we de with it?" "Give it back," he said stiffly. "Can't. Tt isn't good form. Ever in a divorce it's bad manners to re turn your wedding presents.--I tel you! We'll divide it. After all, rea silver always comes in handy and we can make good use of it. We de- serve some compensation for all the agony we've gone through, though as far as I am concerned, this hout has compensated for everything 2 hundred times over." : "You can have the silver," said Peter. "I don't want it." But Rowena would not under any circumstances accept more than her proper half. She immediately sef about dividing it, piece by piece, one for her and one for Peter. "I suppose we could sell it for old silver," he said. "Oh, you'll put it to good use some day," said Rowena. "Wher you are rich and famous and hav¢ a studio apartment of your own--- first thing you know you'll be giv: ing those fast supper parties thal artists are notéd for--one for you and one for me --" "Why not keep it together in the box until the trip is over?" h¢ asked.

Rack and Ruff, and doubtless charged against divi- dends, was a complete service of solid silver for the well-laid table. Rowena was a little awed at its completeness and its obvious expen- siveness. + said. "I'd rather divide it if you don't mind. Then each of us will be responsible for his own share and if it is lost or stolen neither of us can blame the other.--One for you and one for me." As a matter of fact, Rowena was already planning to pawn her share of it right there in Spokane. She had no more than glanced inside the fat letter from Buddy, but that glance sufficed to tell her that she needed money. She hoped to gel enough for her share of the silver to take care of the distant demands and buy herself a new suit as well, She was really getting shabby. Daily motcring was hard on old clothes. And how she yearned for the flattering silver fox packed away in moth-balls way back on Third Avenue! "This really puts us in a fright: ful jam," said Peter. "I suppose we can bluff through the reception and ball all right--we've had plenty of experience. But I don't see how we can dodge the bridal suite, And won't it jeopardize the annulment?
