The (lecrcase in imports 0f Canadian flour has resulted in less of it bc- ing uscd for general baking, with a consequent dctcriuratioti in the quality 0f the bread. Tihcrc has bccn cousidc-rablc criticism on this score. and it is hoped that improved wheat strains and better harvesting weather will result in better baking charactcristics from subsequent harv- ests. Pottltry farmers throttghotit .\'c\v Zcalancl complain that the high price of fowl wheat tnakes egg producing unprofitable. and a num- ber of entcrprises have closed up.

TIIE AFFLICTION

Sin-It is always a pleasure t0 read Mr. Hemminlzjs articles as they are the fruit. of reading, study and observation. His recent article on the affliction of deafness evinces advanced knowledge of the

those suffering from the discour- aging handicap. There are, how- ever. one or two phases of the matter that he, no doubt for the sake of brevity. overlooked.

There is nutch somewhat sound wisdom in the old saylnk that an ounce of prevention is lyorth a pottnd of cure.

Consulting an eminent nurlsl. many years ago-one who was consulted by sitlfcrers from manv parts of the world, he said that; in my case there Was an inherent tendency to the affliction, but lt was quite probable that with pro- per care in early life, it. would not have developed.

The old cold schoolhouses where little ones often with wet feet. and clothes sat and shlvercd. no doubt handicapped many a one for life. The old-fashioned schoolmaster. who pulled and boxed the little ones‘ ears was literally a wolf in sheep's clothing. How many have suffered on account. of that hoarv lte that it. takes hardship and discomfort. to make hardy men and ticcmeu!

Again, what, about want of con-

sideration and sympathy for those ‘whose hearing is (lefective? There ls much to prove that the sad af- fliction sends many to intlrmaries and asylums.

Tortured by the shafts of ridi- cule, abashcd and embarrassed. the sufferer often loses courage, confidence and hope.

That fable of the boys and the frogs should not be forgotten in the schools. The little ones should be taught. and trained to sympa- thize with those suffering from any handicap.
