St. Catharines Stardard: The Galt Reporter points to the decision of a wellâ€"known cereal manufacturing conâ€" cern, to treble its advertising, as an example of the proper spirit to introâ€" duce into business when trade shows an inclination to drop. This concern expressed the belief that while there :s unemployment and reduction of reâ€" venues, the great percentage of people on this continent are still in a position to live comfortably, to pay for their reâ€" quirements and to so conduct their afâ€" fairs that the business community will enjoy a profit from its services. The Reporter points out that business will be successful if merchants give the public an incentive to buy by relating the interesting story or what they have to sell. "Daily newspaper advertising," it says, "is still the most effective stimâ€" ulant for busii:ess. Its Judicious use is the most competent méans to attract the buying public. If the merchandise is right and is offered at reasonable nrices, there is still excellent buying power in the community." ADVERTISING THE REMEDY FOR DEPRESSED BUSINESS nex, day he was periectiv wril.

Today if an escaped criminal bears the pockâ€"marks of smalipox upon his face that fact is mentioned in the bills and circulars which the police send out describing him. Before 1796 unâ€" pockâ€"marked people were the exceri:ion and the description sent out by the police of that time occasionally describâ€" ed the fugitive as being free from the marks of smallpox. Imagine that as a distinguishing mark! Continuing his address the spsaker said:â€"*"The informatton which I am gcing to give you free now, could have been scld in the middle ages for a king‘s ransem, and in fact the information itâ€" self would actually have corstituted a ransom (not only of kings but of comâ€" moners too) from a horrible disfiguring disease which all too frequently resulted in ghastly death. dissase that has killed in its t literally »hundreds of millions of _ man beings." ‘"Toâ€"day I want to tell you about a disease you need never have," was the way the lecturer for the Social Hygiene Council‘s Pree Radio College of Health commenced his address cver the radio last week. This disease, he said, was smallpox, "a disease that you can posiâ€" tively save your children from, and yet against smallpox has been truly reâ€" markable. At ons time smalloox was rightly dreaded as one of the most deadly of disecases. In recont ysears it has lost its forcse. As a matter of fact there is every reason to belisve that it may be practically eliminated, with the coâ€"opsration of the general public. One of the interesting talks heard cver the radio last week was enz by a lecturer for the Free Radio College of Health sponsored by the Canadian Soâ€" ‘ clal Hygiene Council. While the lecâ€" { turer did not mention the case of Timâ€" ‘mins, people here could scarcely listen | to the address over the radio without | thinking of the experience of this town in regard to the disease dealt with by the speaker. He spoke on smallpox, and the situation in Timmins in reâ€" gard to this disease is a very interesting one. For years this town had a cccasâ€" .ional case of the disease, many, if not ‘ all of these cases coming in from outâ€" side. Whenever a case would develop here there was prompt quarantine and attention and the result would be that there was no epidemic. The Advance !does not remember there ever being a death here from smallpox. About four or five years ago, however, there were more than the usual single case before the presence of the disease in town was knxyn. The medical health officer toâ€"k very prompt measures. There was general vaccination in the schools arnd all who were suspected of coming in contact with the disease were vacâ€" cinated. As a consequence of the prompt measures taken by the medical authorities not only were they successâ€" ful in averting any danger of an epiâ€" demic but it meant so general vaccinaâ€" tion that the town will be protected against any smallpox epidemic for years. The case is a sample of what medical science has been ableo to accomâ€" nlish in the way of preventive measâ€" ures. In towns where the greater part of ths: population is not so transient as in a mining town the effect would ‘be more noteworthy still, but even under the conditions here the proteciion given | | | | Discease Once Killed One Out of Every Ten Persons, Now Conquered by Science.

Of them and their abâ€" surd claims, we need regard only one fact. Whenever you hear vaccination called into question by a crank, rememâ€" ber that in those days there were proâ€" ple who solemnly preached against vacâ€" cination because they claimed that vacâ€" cination would cause a person to grow horns like a cow.

In disâ€" cussing the questioh The Northern Triâ€" bune says:â€"‘"More or less directly, the Ontaric Government is responsible for conditions of labour on all the underâ€" takings recently launched on the T. N. O. north cf Cochrane. Thers has been a lot of complaint abou tthem®; and the Governmsnt maust be held reâ€" sponsible. Why should the devéopâ€" ment of these reputedly rich resources be surrendered into the hands of parâ€" ties who will not treat labour decently? The area referred to is treated as closed preserve, practically, as far as the general public is concerned. Such a state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue, else proper development will be retarded." A recent issue of The Northern Triâ€" bune of Kapuskasing in an editorial note deals with the matter of Governâ€" ment responsibility fcr labour and other conditions north of Cochrans. The Advance has urged that the Governâ€" ment investigate present recurrence of any evils. This is advanced with all ;friendfliness to the Government. Inâ€" deed, it would be the worst type of unâ€" friendliness to counsel anything else. Some of the evils referred to have been aired more or less in police court, and so are public property. In any case the Government will be blamed for any evil or hardship resulting from any of the work in progress north of Cochâ€" rans. The truth is that directly the blame rests on contractors, subâ€"conâ€" tractors or subâ€"subâ€"contractors. But try and got people in general to believe that. They point out that back of all the subs and subâ€"subs in the line of the contractors there is the Governâ€" ment as the real concern responsible. The people always answer "Why does the Government allow so and so?" If the wages are low, the Government should have provided against that.

Mr. White offered to bet a hundred dollars that he could carry over the Indian river at Pembroke, a weight eqral to nine hundred pounds. Mr. Murray accepted the challenge and the Here is a story of Andrew White, of Pembroke, Ont., the pioneer lumberman, as related by Patrick Dewan. In his early days Mr. Dewan spent some three years in the lumber camp»s and knows Mr. White, and heard many stories of his great physical strength. When the talk starts among prosâ€" pectors or lumbermen as to feats of skill or strength it appsars as if the "great wide open spaces" seem to have a broadening effect on the imagination. Thoughts come unbidden in regard to the famous Paul Bunyan and it is easy to see why such a superman should live among the trees and in the great outdoorsâ€"while the men sit around and spin yarns. There are some great stories of the amount that some prosâ€" pectors can pack through the bush and these facts of strength and skill are more than eqimlled by the ones that the lumbermen tell about. By the way |it might be a good idea for "Lap‘"‘ Laâ€" prairie to institute a contest next Charity Turkey Stag for lumbermen and prospecters their best stories of skill and stremgh, with some sort of proof, or otherwise. The stories could be written out and then read off at the Turkey Stag. If the lumbermen and the prospectors once entered into the spirit of the thing, there would be | no need for prizes; indeed, they would be likely to be willing to pay an entry fee, for a good cause. It would not do to question even the remarkable stories, ‘ for they might bet on their own veraâ€" city and win the bet. All of which is an introduction to a little story from The Canada Lumberman in regard to| one remarkable feat of strength and! skill.

The reason is, of course, that pecople are then generally at home, and when they are at home they are not getting into trouble and making news for the press. In this petition to the Canadian Freight Association, the member for Abitibi stated that the price of pulpâ€" wood at American and southern milis had been cut about $5 a cord. Prices paid last winter for peeled or rossed pulpwood ranged from $8 to $10 a cord which, he claimed, was just sufficient to provide a fair living for settlers. He suggests that sale of pul;vood at present prices is not possible unless there is a cut in freight rates. It is pointed out that mills can get pulpwosd deâ€" livered in their yards at prices ranging from $14 to $20 a cord. The wond proâ€" ducer cannot produce it for less than $10 a cord, therefore transportation charges should be lowered to fit in beâ€" tween. | _ Claiming that settlers in the Abitibi district who make their livelihood through the sale of logs and pulpwood have been severely affected by the situâ€" ation in the newsprint and competition from Russian pulpwood, Hector Authier, member for the country, has appealed to the Dominion Board of Railway Commissioners for a reduction in freight rates on transportation of wood. Previously appeals have been made to the Canadian Freight Association and to the Canadian National Rai:ways which serves the colonization area known as the Abitibi district. It stated that there is a population of nearly 30,000 in the district. Mr. Authier claims that the yearly cut of pulpwood in the Abitibi district is over 125,000 cords, of which 70 per cent. is driven to Abitibi and Temisâ€" kaming paper mills by streams and rivâ€" ers. There remain some 40,000 cords to be shipped by rail.

Mr. Logan, senior, has visited Canada, and is much interested in the happenings in this country, and although in his eighties he still takes time to follow the political doings throughout the Empire.
