In recent years leading doctors have azreed that the menace of dread diph= theria may be entirely eliminated in the course of a very few years. The doctors have pointed out how this may be dcone. Dr. H. H. Moore, Medical Health Officer for Timmins, and a number of cther leading doctors in the district, have taken active part in inâ€" forming the public as to the need for coâ€"operation in the effort to eliminate diphtheria. The Adwance has given whatever coâ€"operation was possible in the way of presenting information and securing the interest of the public. For the past year or more thers has been only one case of ditrtatheria raported in town, and that an adult. There was no spread of the disease, the majority of the children being protected by imâ€" mumization. At the schools here pracâ€" tically «@ll the children were protected against having diphtheria by immunizâ€" ation. It is the reasoned opinion of the medical experts that the immunity will ‘*ast for life. There is hope that furâ€" ther immunization will be carrfed on this year, as new children are starting school from time to time, and also it is hoped that children of preâ€"school age may be generally given this protection. pensive. When one realizes that beâ€" tween 1000 and 1200 Canadians die every year from diphtheria, while 13,â€" 500 sicken of the disease, it would seem to be a pity that people are too lackâ€" adaisical to save their lives, and the lives of their children from a disease which is preventable. "In the first place, it is necessary to onsider what eauses diphtheria, and why this disease kills. "It begins when the diphtheria germ, a tiny living organizm which attacks the thncat. These germs as they develop, give off a poison, or toxin that spreads through the system and, as any other poison would do, causes illiness that sometimes results in death. To revive interest in the question The Advance gives herewith an article sent to this paper by the Canadian Social Hyziene Council, a body that has taken very able and effective part in the fight against diphtheria. This article reads as follows:â€"â€" "Don‘t Die from Diphtheria" "Practically every child who dies from diphtheria does so because its parents are either ignorant or careless. Because diphtheria can be prevented. Just as vaccination prevents smallpox, so does the administration of a subâ€" stance called ‘toxoid‘ prevent diphâ€" theria. This plrocess is easy and inexâ€" "The purpose of this article is to tell readers of The Porcupine Advance how to save their lives, and the lives of their children from diphtheria. It will do more. It will tell how this disease can be utterly stamped out, from the Atlanâ€" tic to the Pacific within ten years. "But there is an old saying that every poison has its antidote and the first great advance that medical science mad2a in fighting this disease was in 1890, when an ‘antidote‘ to the toxin of the germs causing it was discovered. "Injected into the body cf a diphâ€" theria patient, this antiâ€"toxin counterâ€" acts the poison of the germ, jJust as it did in the body of the horse, and years of testing have proven that there are few cases that cannct be cured if antiâ€" toxin is administered shortly after the symptoms manifest themselves. Every hour of delay however, means added danger, and every year many children die of diphtheria because their parents neglect to call a doctor early, believing that their children are suffering from soâ€"called simple sore throat when acâ€" tually they have diphtheria. "Impontant as it is to treat it early, however, diphtheria is one disease that comupiletely proves that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, for there is another substance, called ‘tcxoid‘ which does even more than antiâ€"toxin. Toxoid will actually keep the disease out of the system altoâ€" gether. "When you take your child to the doctor for this treatment, he will inject about seven drops of toxoid underneath the skin. The process, not a painfu: one, is repeated at monthly intervals until a total of three injections have been made. The sooner it is done to children after six months of age, the better. "Occasionally the injection produces a very slight soreness for a day or so, and sometimes the child feels a little bit sick for a few hours, but cutside of thoss trivial discomforts which are nesgligible when one considers the great sood that the treatment does, there are absolutely no ill effects. "Toxoid is manufactured right here in Canada and distributed free by most Provincial Departments of Health. So thoroughly has it proven its value, that many local boards of health administer it free. There is no question, but that if almost every oné availed himself of the protection that it affords, diphâ€" theria would puss off the face of the earth in very short order. "One says ‘almost everyone‘ because there are some people who do not need cxoid, because nature herself has made them immune to diphtheria. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTIMMINS, ONTARIO "And a skin test has been developed whereby a physician can tell whether vyour children are immune to this disâ€" sase or not. It is called the ‘Schick Test.‘ About three ‘drops of a test toxin are injected into the skin of the forâ€"earm. If the subject is susceptible to diphtheria, a little red spot, about ag$ big as a dime, will appear on the atm a couple of days later. The test is quite harmless. "One of Canada‘s greatest authoriâ€" ties has said that the day will come when a coroner‘s jury will investigate all deaths from dirththeria, to find cut who is to blame. You know the sort of adeaths that are investigated by coronâ€" er‘s juriesâ€"deaths that are not believed to be altogether natural, or in which somebody is believed to have contriâ€" buted by negligence. "So that if the time ever comes when diphtheria deaths are so investigated, it‘ will mean that the state will regard diphtheria as a preventable diseaseâ€" which it isâ€"and will want to know who is to blame when anyone dies of it. Such deaths will be regarded not as the result of bad luck, but of someâ€" body‘s carelessness, and somebody will have to be punished. "From all this, we may realize cur individual responsibility. Every m.ot«her should see that her chidren, as they reach the age of six months or so, are given the Schick test. Every comâ€" munity, through its medical officer of health, should see that toxoid is availâ€" able to all physicians, and. that the public is made aware of this. Every physician should advise his patients accordingly. If:this were done universâ€" ally, a single decade would stamp diphâ€" theria out of Canada entirely." The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Mr. and Mrs. Cyril Atkinson, of Bueâ€" nos Aires, Scuth America, are Haileyâ€" bury visitors this week at the home of Mr. Atkinson‘s parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Atkinson. They arrived on Monday from England, where they had spent a few weeks with relatives before sailing for Canada. Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson Ssome weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Stephenson, of New Liskeard, observed the sixtieth anniversary of their wedâ€" ding, and because Mr. Stephenson has been so outstanding a member of the Fourth Estate in this North, and the couple such helpful and creditable citiâ€" zens, all the newspapers of the North made special reference to the cccasion. The tributes paid Mr. and Mrs. Steâ€" phenson on this occasion were very sincere and in view of the regard felt for the couple may be classed as reâ€" strained, rather than fulsome. Mr. Sterinenson to his other virtues adds that of modesty, and so finds it necesâ€" sary to reply in the language of the craft. In the last issue of The Speaker accordingly appears this paragraph:â€" BUEZNOS AIRES VIStHTORS AT HAILEYBURY THIS WEEK will spend a couple of weeks here beâ€" fore starting their long journey .home to the South. Mr. Atkinson spentsthe early part of his life at his home here and his many friends are extending a welcome." USES LANGUAGE OF CRAFT TO EXPRESS APPRECIATION While Mr. and Mrs. E. FP. Stephenson | very much appreciate the kindly feliciâ€" tations of their friends on the occasion of their reaching the 60th anniversary of their marriage none are more fully: appreciated than those which have apâ€" teared in the Northern press. We ought to make especial reference to the comments of our nearâ€"by neighâ€" bour, The Haileyburian, and our someâ€" what more distant neighbour, The Timmins Advance. We would be very glad indeed, did we believe that we are entitled to the nice words used by these our confreres.

CANADA‘S FORESTS PRODUGE OVER $212,950,000 YEARLY An estimate of the total forest proâ€" duction of Canada for 1928 has just been completed by the forest products branch of the Dominion Bureau of sStatistics, The figures which include all the proeducts of operations in the woods, the unmanufactured materials cut in Canadian forests during the year show a total value of $212,950,799. Insects, Fungi, Fires and Other Causes Proving Drain on Forest Wealth, Says Report by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. ‘An estimate has also been made of the extent to which the forests are beâ€" ing depleted annually in the process of exploiting ‘these materials For this purpose converting faotors based on actual measurements have been used. EFach of thoese factors represents in cubic feetr‘t._he quantity of standing timâ€" ber that must be cut in the forest in order to produce one unit of the maâ€" terial in question, based on the totat cubic contents of the tree. By the use of Ahese factors it has been estimated that the total forest production of 1928 involved the cutting of 2,988,038,430 cuâ€" bic feet of standing timber. This constitutes only the annual deâ€" pletion for use and to it must be added the volume of material annually deâ€" stroyed by fire, which exceeds 900,000,â€" 000 cubic feet of merchantable timber, and young growth on 1,300,000 acres. Insects and fungi destroy annually at least 800,000,000 cubic feet to the anâ€" nual drain on the forest resources, which is considerably more than 4,788,â€" 000,000 cubic feet. The latest available estimate places Canada‘s forest resources at 224,304,â€" 000,000 cubic feet of standing timber which is capable of yielding 424,637,â€" 000,000 feet, board measure, of sawn lumber and 1,121,993,000 cords of pulpâ€" wood, ties, poles and other materials. A total depletion of 4,788,000,000 cuâ€" bic feet per annum does not necessariâ€" ly imply that the total resources are reâ€" duced by that amount every year and the supply will therefore be exhausted in fortyâ€"seven years. Estimating the probable duration of supply of forest products is not a matter of simplle ariâ€" thmetic. The rate of utilization is far from constant. It tends to increase with the discovery of new uses for woods, the increase in population and the increase in the demand for forest products from other countries whose supplies have been reduced to a greater extent than Canada‘s. On the other hand there is a steady increase in volume taking place in all healthy stands of timber due to annual growth. By the application of scientiâ€" fic forest management this annual growth can be stimulated and could be madejto take place over the entire area of potential forest land, it is believed. In the value of forest products, logs and bolts headed the list in 1928 with $75,000,000.. Piulpmwood comes second with total value of exceeding $74,000,â€" 000 and is the most valuable item of forest production im the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Firewood, with a total 6f over $41 000,000 comes third for the Dominion as a whole, but heads the lAist in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia a.gd Prince Edward Island. Hewn railway ties. with over $5,000,000; poles .‘Wlth over $4,000,000 and square timbet with over $3,000,000 are among tfhe irfiportant of the other items. Despatches from Haileybury last week say that jprospects for forming prospectors‘ association for that part of the North are being discussed among the members of the prospectors‘ fraâ€" ternity following a visit to the central part of Temiskaming by R. Dipaola of South Porcupine, a week or so ago. This gentleman took a prominent part, the despatches say, in the formation of a similar organization in the Porcupine camp. He interviewed a number of Haileybury prospectors and is quoted as saying that he was given an encouragâ€" ing reception. Prospectors‘ â€" associaâ€" tions are of value not only to the prosâ€" pectors, but to the country in general and certainly accomplish a great deal as may be seen from the good work acâ€" complished by the prospectors and claim owners association for Timmins and the Porcupine. It is considered probable that preliminary steps to form an association for the prospectors in the Haileybury area will be taken up at an early date.
