Death Dealing Toxin Dreadful Possibilities Of Use In Warfare Is Explained The dreadful possibilities of a cer- tain death dealing toxin in war time ” was mentioned by Professor Leonard Hill, in an address to the Sanitary Pp A at L t, England. Prof r Hill called to “a certain bacilli which shall be nameless, but is easily cultivated. “If men were aS susceptible as guinea pigs are to the toxin pro- duced by this bacillus and there is reason to think they are, it would appear that one gramme, let us say a salt spoonful of the dry toxin would suffice to kill a million per- sons,’ Prof. Hill said that the toxin act- ed if inhaled or if it touched the eye as a powder. He asked the assocla- tion members “if men set out to pre- pare such a toxin and to scatter it by aeroplanes, what would be the use of the panoply of war.” The sealing fleet of Newfoundland sets sail on a date fixed by law, for no seals may be killed except within a six weeks’ period of the spring. % Clerk: “I should Uké to go to my mother-in-law’s funeral this after- noon."

By far the larger part of this expenditure is made by tourists from the United States. The flood of tourist business, how- ever, does not flow all in one direc- tion. During 1928, Canadians touring in the United States, are estimated to have spent -over $84,000,000 in that country. While this total sum is much less than was spent by Americans in Canada, the amount per capita is greater. According to recent Statistics the annual expendi- ture of Ameericans holidaying in Canada amounts to $1.83 per capita of the whole population, “while on the same reckoning Canadians spent $8.74 per capita in the United States. It is also discovered that the people of the United States spent 27% per cent. of their total holiday expenditures abroad in Canada, while Canadians spent 81 per cent. of their vacation money for use in other countries in the United States. If United States tourists spent as much money in Canada in propor- tion to population as Canadian tour- ists spent in the United States, the income from that source would be more than a billion dollars a year— which is more than the present total foreign tourist expenditures of the United States. e If tourist travel in foreign coun- tries is a measure of national pros- perity, Canada, on the basis of the above figures ,ranks somewhat higli- er than the United States, but the northward flow is increasing with amazing rapidity and the proportions may soon be reversed. ———— | Flood OF Tourist Business THe flood of United States tourists r 1928, at over $250,000,000, and they MUOUUN ve x societies, Other agencies given space by the go’ Nurses, Child Welfare Council and th ABBUUSLURD, REPRES! _ belgoaoen NOOOOR) OOK ROD BOON OOOO Psttatel tatatetetetetetet eared Se 180.000 i A neers Fe sini Aare OOO) SS CRA WAG OCOOOO! ee The most representative health exhibit ever shown in Canada was a recent feature of the Canadian National Exhibition, when the Ontario Government provided space in its excellent show for leading voluntary health Above is shown the Canadian Social Hygiene Council booth designed by Dr. GC.

TATIVE HEALTH BXHIBIT Prev: .9,0,9.4) Visit OF Sir John Martin-Harvey _ Again Coming To Canada With Three Well-Chosen Plays” Who will ever take the place Sir John Martin-Harvey has won for himself in his many yisits to Can- ada? the thought arises from his an- nouncenient that on this tour, during which he will be seen at The Grand Theatre, Regina, on November 4, 5 and 6, he will make his farewell ap- pearance as Sidney Carton in “The Only Way.” In this role, in this splendid drama, Sir John has built up through many years a reputation that is probably unique in stage his- tory. To the confirmed theatregoer the final speech of this ne’er-do-well character is probably as well known as the soliloquies of Hamlet, and all because Sir John brought his great ability to a part that could be less than Mediocre in the hands of an actor of ordinary rank and merit. It is truly to be regretted that Sir John has decided to end Sidney Carton, for end it is, as there is unlikely to be Winnipeg Newspaper Union TaNOX| 2?

Sir John has made another of his surprising moves in adding for this tour. ‘y"' to his pertoire. This rare piece is a romantic drama of 1837, that makes an appeal to everyone. It is .the story of the wholesome love of Sir Jasper Thorn- dyke, 40, for a young girl. It abounds in humor, pathos, and the general beauty associated with the gentle, Kindly age it represents. As S Jas- per, Sir John Martin-Harvey is seen at his best. For the third play on his list, Sir John has gone to the modern Span- ish. The title is “The Lowland Wolf.” From the pen of Angel Guimera, the play presents to Sir John a remark- able chance to show talents that have not been altogether displayed on his recent Canadian tours. He takes the part of Manelich, a shep- herd of the mountains, The play has been translated into twenty-one lan- guages, and so powerful an appeal has been made by Manelich to the Spanish people, that they have erect- ed a statue to him in Barcelona. In Spain he holds rank with Hamlet. This will be the first time this epochal Spanish play has been seen here, and it should prove one of the most popular in which Sir John has ever appeared. For his present tour he has engaged a splendid company, aud if it should be a farewell visit it will be one long remembered. Forest Fire Fighting Methods Specially Designed Apparatus Found To Be Of Great Help Forest fires in Canada are, to an increasing extent, being fought by specially designed apparatus. Light gasolene fire-pumps haye been put into use which will deliver a forceful stream of water through half a mile of hose. Fighting the fires at night is also greatly expedited by the use of lamps similar to those used by miners, Which can be attached to the worker’s cap and so enable him to darkness, at the very time when his work will haye the greatest effect.

Work for five men were offered at harvest- ing at five dollars a day, but all re- fused.- They were disgusted and wanted to return to England. But is that not making an easy mark of Canada? What is’ to prevent hun= dreds or thousands of men doing the same thing—coming out here for an adventure or to work in a_half- hearted way and then return to Eng- land at the government's expense? These men have not the claim on Canada’s generosity that they seem to think they have. They are al+ lowed free entry to this country under the expectation that they will jake the best of their opportunities. When they are without means of support and also refuse work, they put themselves in the~ position of vagrants. As a lesson*to men of this kind they might well be given the disciplinary treatment that is frequently handed out to vagrants. There is no reason why Canada should be imposed upon by such men. If they could not get work of any kind the situation might be dif- ferent. But when work is offered by which they could maintain them- selves or pay their own way back to. }England, they should be compelled to help themselves. — Manitoba Free Press.
