Last week II was pointed out In

yield Of about 100000. 900 bushels Of
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
Increase of about 100000. 900 over the
previous year. and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con-
firmation of this news Is to hand and
the cry still Is for more help. Tho
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends Of the 100000 or 100000
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help of these people and induce

much to reduce the sum of human
suffering during the past fifty or
sixty years--there are two outstand-

a special measure of the gratitude OF

Simpson for his achievement in the
field OF anaesthetics, and Lord Lister
for the successful application Of his
system OF antiseptics to surgery.

was ever more and more impressing
upon him the sovran fact OF his pro-
fession that 'the proud mission Of the
physician is distinctly twofold, name

well as to preserve human life"
To a man of Simpsons sensitive ma
ture. this truth made a constant ap-
peal. And yet how little. hitherto, had
the profession been able to do to
realize it. especially in relation to the
department to which his life-work was
now directed. and where some realiza.

could relieve suffering more welcome

discovery of the fact that by inhal.

Dr. Morton OF Boston. News of the

work upon. and for this undertaking
