NewfoundIand's Bad Record.

The Newfoundland Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis is carrying
on a vigorous and necessary campaign
this year in the island. The death
rate from the disease in Newfoundland
is very large. About one in every
five of the total population dies of it,
and, what is worse, in the last six
years the death rate, which is sta
tionary or decreasing elsewhere, has
increased about so per cent This is
due largely to the native horror OF
fresh air in the house.

UNCLE JOE CANNON

No matter what may be the opinion
OF Mr.. Joseph Cannon, no matter IL
he may be looked upon by some as
czar, and by others as big warm
hearted man, with many Of the in
stincts that make humanity very bear
able, all will admit that he is a man
who has been advertised more than
any other man in the United States.
What he may have to say therefore
on any subject, will have weight. OBJ.
servant, he speaks his mind freely.
He was interviewed the other day by
the correspondent of Canadian
newspaper. He spoke of his admiration
for Canada, and he Is quoted in a way
that pictures fairly well the personaf
of the man. The correspondent says
he launched out into personal BIZ
ography, proverbial philosophy, politi-
cal comment, cynical scorn, broad pro-
family and sentimental poetry such as
one rarely hears in the space of an
hour. He discussed the Canadian Ia
riff, and then said: People say l
break the Ten Commandments, all Of
them. But don't, at least not often.

the children of the congested districts

these children, when they grow up,
will have to work hard for living.
There is no danger that they will drift

some rich people, for their hours will
be fully occupied in earning their
daily bread in the sweat of their
brows. It is only fair that while they
are young they should have a chance
to play like other children: and the

the lead in the movement to give
them this fair chance is public bene
