Yet, despite thé encouraging pro- gress that has been made, Tubercu- losis is still one of the most serious disease problems we have to face. Every third death in the age period between 15 and 45 years from acute infectious disease is due to Tubercu- losis. Therefore, there must be no let- up in the fight against Tuberculosis. Eyery citizen can do his or her part by buying Christmas Seals. Educational and preventive work are very important factors in this never-ending campaign. The money raised by the sale of Christmas Seals is used exclusively for these purposes and made possible the examination of 54,573 persons in the past elght years. Last year 14,403 persons were examined, The cost of caring for the 750 patients in the three Sanatoria of the province is met by taxation. Funds for educational and pre- ventive work are provided by volun- tary contributions, Early diagnosis of suspected cases is of vital importance. Clinics are held monthly at seven points in the province, where free examination is available to all. Last year the proportion of early cases admitted to the Sanatoria was 43 per cent, compared with ten per cent. fifteen years ago. The education of the public as to the symptoms and dangers of Tuberculosis has brought about this result. The majority of cases discovered in the early stages of the disease recover; their stay in the sanatorium is shorter, and the cost to them- selves and the taxpayer correspond- ingly reduced. People must learn that Tuberculosis in the early stages 1s just as curable as pneumonia. In the later stages it is one of the most serious dis- eases there are.

He has been connected with the League since 1917, and is recognized as a world author- ity on Tuberculosis. Saskatche- wan’'s distinction of having the lowest Tuberculosis death rate in the world fs attributed by Dr. Ferguson to the progressive policy of the Board of Directors of the League and the efficient and loyal co-operation of the staff of the three sanatorla. ly diminished, because people today know that it is not hereditary, and that if discovered and treated in the early stages, it is 80 per cent. cur- able. Four thousand people are living in Saskatchewan today who have been treated in our Sanatorla, and two-thirds of these have returned to their usual occupations, What more convincing argument than this could be advanced for support of the Christmas Seal Sale in order that educational and pre- ventive work may be continued and made ee conscious. The public must know something about the symptoms. First, loss of strength, loss of weight, fever and later a cough and other more serious symptoms. Because people know more about the symptoms of Tuberculosis to- day than they did fifteen years ago, the infection rate among children and young adults has been reduced to one-quarter of what it was then. The fear and apprehension which ? We can, if we will, make Tuberculosis a comparatively rare disease. One way in which everyone may play a part at this season of the year is to buy and use Christmas Seals. The money you spend on such seals is used to strengthen the forces which protect you and yours against a very real and powerful enemy. To buy seals makes you a participant in the campaign, lining you up with the forces of health and happiness Tuberculosis once inspired has large- against disease and misery.

Nipigon Map Sheet by Lake Nipigon The Mecca For An- glers From All Over The Continent The greater part of thé Lake Nipi- gon district of “square-tailed"—red- trout fame, is shown on a new De- partment of the Interlor map which covers the southern part of Lake Nipigon, and includes the Nipigon, Black Sturgeon, and Jackfish River) areas, also an extensive network of| lakes, rivers, and streams to,the west of Lake Nipigon. The mapped region is part of an undeveloped area and has only the small portion comprised in six town- ships subdivided into farms. Locat- ed north of Port Arthur and Fort William, it is an ideal sportsmen’s country reached by the Canadian National Railways’ line between Port Arthur and Longlac, with Orient Bay as the chief starting point, and by the Canadian Pacific Railway's trans- continental line through Nipigon on Lake Superior. A section of the Trans-Canada Highway is shown on the map as under construction. It skirts the southeastern part of the region and when completed will make this country accessible by automo- bile. A provincial highway from Port Arthur and Fort William al- ready extends to the village of Nipi- gon, and to Cameron Falls. To anglers all over the continent the word “Nipigon” suggests trout, for the district holds the world’s record, with specimens weighing 12% pounds, while four-pound to six- pound fish are quite common. Both railway systems award trophies each year for trout caught within Nipigon waters. In Lake Nipigon, and in the Black Sturgeon, Nipigon, and ad- jacent rivers, small-mouth bass, white-fish, pickerel, and pike are also abundant. The region is a big game country in which moose and deer are plenti- ful, but hunting is prohibited within the provincial game preserve to the east of the lake. To tourists other than sportsmen, the area holds many attractions scenically, for at points on Lake Nipigon the shore-line rises to magnificent heights, while the long arms of the lake wtih its occasional | sandy beaches are of interest to the canoeist or motor-boat enthusiast. Many of the streams are placid, but others are quite turbulent. There are deposits of chromite about Chrome Lake near the north- ern edge of the area shown in the map. Other localities where pros- pecting or mining operations are in progress include the Garden Lake district west of Lake Nipigon and that area to the east which lies be- tween Lake Nipigon and Longlac. Lake Nipigon, 65 miles long and 40 miles wide, with numerous islands, some large and some small, is sur- rounded on three sides by the Nipi- gon Forest Reserve and on the east side by the Nipigon-Onaman Crown Game Preserve. It has a shore-line of approximately 800 miles and with its 1,590 square miles is the largest lake wholly within Ontario. It drains into Lake Superior by Nipigon river on which hydro-electric power is de- veloped at Cameron Falls and Alex- ander power stations. The Nipigon map may be obtained in the regular map sheet form at 25 cents. A pocket-sized folder edition containing an index to place names on the map may be procured for 35 cents, and copies backed with linen for extensive use are available at 50 cents. Applications should be ad- dressed to the Surveyor General, De- partment of the Interior, Ottawa, or copies may be obtained at many of the leading bookstores in the cities and towns of Ontario.

Under this order no evening news- paper-vendor may begin to sell the early editions of the papers before 2:30 p.m. Copies of evening papers which arrive too soon must be put under the stand out of sight of cus- tomers until the appointed time, News-vendors who disobey this order run the risk of being expelled from the Association into which all news- vendors must be enrolled, and not being allowed to sell newspapers again.

Since he wielded his knife first in August, 1878, Mr. Brown has known hundreds of celebrated figures, many of whom are almost legendary to this generation. He is considered the greatest liv- ing expert at the art of carving and one of his chief tenets has been that a carver should decorate the plate as an artist plans his canvas. The highest spot in his experiences was in 1913, when he was called upon to carve sirloin of beef for King George and Queen Mary. . Ten years ago he received a hand- some ofier to go to Philadelphia to perform 20 minutes of work at a large civic dinner, but declined that in addition to several other fabulous offers from the United States.
