A CONSUMPTIVES’ SANA'l'0RlU.'ll. I

Consumption is so widely prevalent in_

all civilized countries that it is commonly spoken of as “the white plague.” There

is not a Province of-the.Do_minion in which this nialady is not-accountable for a large share of the annual mortality, and in our own salubrioustlsland its ravages have

been so great that we feel sure our read- ers will take an interest in the measures elsewhere taken for the treatment and cure of consumptive patients.

Once it became an accepted factfas it

now is, t-hat this malady is an infectious

one, and that in its earlier stages at least many cases are curable under favorable conditions -and skilful treatment, the sanatoriuni plan was adopted in several countries, largely through private benefi- cence. There are a number of these

United States and one or more in Canada.

A recent issue of the Toronto Globe gives

some interesting particulars of the in- number of inferior and poorly equhpgd

stitutioi. located in Muskoka, Ontario.

The Muskoka institution includes a.

largely by private enterprise, but assisted by the Provincial Government. ‘

Why have two school houses, where one is sufficient? In a great many cases two - school districts can be amalgamated into ' one, and if it should happen that children reside attoo great a. distance, they can be taken to the school house at much less cost to the Government by limd convey- ances. The tax on househo lderii for erect- ing school builldings and keeping same in

privileges now available only to the few- It is not too much to hope that within the quartér century to come every Pro» viiice of Canada will have its sanatorium for consurnptives in which all those af- flicted with this miladv, rich and poor alike, will be afforded the best possible chances of cure.

Preventive measures must always re-

main of first importance in the conser-

vation of the public health, and especially' in regard to tuberculous diseases.This point has been heretofore strongly accentuated in these columns. It is if vital consequence that our children shall not consume the milk of tubcrculous cows, or they or their parents consume/tubereulous m`eat. But the seeds of disease have been sown so far and wide and the number infected is s0 great that the sanitorium has become a

pressing need of the times, alike as a

means of cure_ for the curable, and of pre- venting the infection of thoscin health

from those who see already suffering.

Let the Best Men Join To- gether.

SIR,-The letter of your correspondent

Mr. Horace Haszard ought to meet with the approval of every friend of this Prov- ince. To one not biased by partvism it is evident that some effort must be made by the good men in both parties to improve the condition of ourpublic alfairs. A re- duction in the number of therepresentives of the people in the Legislature is urgent- lyneedei. 'We donut rsquire30 men to meet once each year for the purpose of legislating on local matters. Fifteen, or five from each County would be suilicient.

The civil service requires to_ be rear-

ranged, the Land Office, Registry Omce and Public Works department amalgam-

ated into one and presided over b an'

oflicial who should not ‘only be ansywezv able to the .people but also required to give bonds for the faithful performance of his duties. His clerks or employes shotl l be by no means the appointees of any one Government, but hired by the presiding officer and entirely und er his control. In this way a great saving could be effected and the civil service not impaired but improved. _

The cost of education is excessive and far

seems to be in an excessive number of

pair would be much] less andthe sav-

ing to the Government in teachers’ salar-

es would be upward of $30,111) per annum,

besides relieving the householders of a.

heavy and quite unnecessary tax. If our

best men can but drop rtyism and come

together there is indeed. good ground to

hope that annual deficits may yet be of

the past and that our Finance Minister

may again boast of a surplus.
