On your last trip to the physician you probabl\ remember that one of the first points of examination was to look in the mouth even if the region comâ€" plained of was far removed from it. This might be good routine and in acâ€" oordance with the latest teaching, Dr. C. H. Mayo, of Rochester, Minn., states that the two most important foes of infection are the teeth and tonsils. He further states that the next great step in medical progress in preventive medicine â€" should be made by the dentists. _ Supporting this view, we also quote our own Caâ€" nadian preceptor, Sir William Osler as stating :â€"**There is not one smvlo thing in preventive medicine â€" that (»(]ual:. mouth hygiene dlld the preâ€" servation of the teeth.‘‘ Therefore we find that the teeth which a generaâ€" tion ago were relatively unimportant in the studies of the healinz art are now being held responsible for more than oneâ€"third of preventable disease. Does, it not behove us, as heads of our respective families, to examine more earefully this ontity known as preventive dentistry. _ You may be surprised to know that the slides which will now be shown are your own. I wish to thank you for the Referring to Ciccro, the Roman lawâ€"giver, Dr. Honey pointed out that a man too busy to take care of health is like a meechanie too busy to take eare of is tools. (ioing from ancient to modern times, the speaker gave this quotation from the eminent Cathoshe authority, Bishop Fallow :â€" *‘*You know this is true from your own experience,‘‘ said Dr. Honey, ‘‘for how often have you consulted your physicion for expert advice on a condition that you knew could hbe corrected by regular lhabits. diet and sufficrient exercise. Yet you willingly paid the physician, hoping that ‘his findings might exeuse your neglect. The Dept of Health for Ontario (conâ€" tinued Dr. Honey) estimates that 34 per cent. of all deaths are of external origin and therefore preventable. Alâ€" so, that from 45 to 60 per cent. of all disabling illness could be prevented, From two to three per cent. of the total population of Canada is conâ€" tinuously ill. This results in a loss of 21,000,000 working days per year, â€"fifty per cent. of which is preventâ€" able. The loss is not all on the side of the employee, but affeets output and organization of industry. Canaâ€" da‘s ceapital investment in hospital equipment is $179,000,000, and the yearly expenditures total $50,000,â€" 000. _ These figures do not include private medical, nursing or kindred eosts, but merely institutional costs. Dr. Honey pointed out the interesi of the nation in health. The Governâ€" ment hbhas its department of health with representatives in all parts of the Dominion. All organized society was interested in health; also capital and labour, Christian and atheist; the army, dnd in civil life; wherever people are gathered together their concern is regarding thmr health. But by a peculiar coâ€"incidence the inâ€" dividual upon whom this greatest of all nature‘s gifts has been bestowed, is not always particularly interested. ‘*You know this is true from your own experience,"‘ said Dr. Honey, ‘‘*for how often have vou consulted the mental, moral and physical wellâ€" being. Dr, Honey quoted a clever little poem by Jolhn Kendrick Bangs, in which a man was pictured as underâ€" standing everything about his autoâ€" mobile. *‘*What fools, indeed, we mortals are, to lavish care upon a car, with ne‘er a bit of time to see, about our own machinery."‘ The speaker for the day at the Kiâ€" wanis Club luncheon on Monday at the Empire hotel was Dr. Lee Honey, who gave a remarkably interesting and helptul address on **(Good Health.‘‘ There was a large attendâ€" ance and all greatly appreciated the very inspiring address by Dr. Honey In opening his address Dr. Honey pointed out that the word ‘‘health" is derived from the same word as ‘whole.‘‘ Health thus egrries the idea of ** wholeness,"" and in its widâ€" er sense the idea of health includes the mental, moral and physical wellâ€" being. Dr, Honey quoted a clever little poem by John Kendrick Bangs, in Large Proportion of Iliness and Deaths'l’reventable, Says Dr. Lee Honey. Organized Society is Keen to Preserve Good Health.

In the sixteenth century the average age at death was 30 years; in 1850 it was 40 ; and toâ€"day it is 58 years. As one ponders over nature‘s design and contemplates the wishes of natur» for the future, it becomes apparent that man was intended to wax old.

The car was stolen from the corner of Second avenue and Spruce street, and when this was discovered the loss was reâ€" ported to the police who went on an imnmediate search for the missing car. Even{ually it was located in the ditch at the Rea hill where it had been upâ€" set and taking fire had been destroyâ€" ed, So far as the police could reâ€" construet the story from the informaâ€" tion gathered, four young men had taken the ear for a joyâ€"ride. They had gone to South Poreupine and on their return had been unableto negotiate one of the turns at the top of the Rea hill. The result was that the car took the ditch, turning comâ€" pletely over and suffering considerâ€" able ~damage. It is thought that someone trying to see how badly the car might be damaged struck a mateh and threw it down. _ The result of this was that the gasoline tank took fire and the blaze finished the destrucâ€" tion of the car. A provineial conâ€" stable and some of the Schumacher police coming by on the road noticed the wreck and started to investigate. They found three young men,â€"W.
