"STOP THE PAPER J"

Nothing is more usual in a rural COM
munity than for some one to show his
resentment of a local papers attitude
on public question by threatening to
''stop the paper" But somehow or
other the paper does not stop every
time some irritated brother tells 1t to.
We have seen express trains run right
straight on in spite of the fact that an
excited "purp" sat on his "behime"
legs between the rails and howled at it
to stop. We always have hoped for the
best and declined to think of his fate
over a hearty breakfast of sausage
cakes, etc. The pup deserved no harsh
treatment. He was simply excited and
failed to calculate to nicely the dis
crepancy between an express train and a
bull pup. But the train could not stop
to reason with him and quiet his nerves.
1t had to keep on gong. Just so with
a newspaper, if it wants to get any
where. 1t would really give US great
pleasure to enlighten the mind and quiet
the spirit of every excited friend who
finds offence in something we have said
or done, but life is too short. Too many
more important things are waiting for
US. We have to go on doing the thing
we think ought to be done and saying
the thing we think ought to be said. If
this excites you beyond endurance, good
friend, you must decide on what you
will do, but not on what we will do.
You must not think to stop the paper,
because you can't, you know; but you
can stop TAKING the paper, which is
very different and much easier per-
Torrance. You will thereby, of course,
grieve US sorely, but not crush us
utterly. We would not have you go
through your remaining life, burdened
with the remorse of having ruined
neighbor by withdrawing your sub
scription. Your subscription probably
unpaid) has these many years stood be-
tween US and starvation. Its with
drawal will be an awful blowout we
shall probably survive until spring and
then we can go out and Craze by the
roadside

Members of Sub Committee.
DIR. LONGFIELD SMITH, Chairman.
r. BAUMANN Esq. KID.
DIR. G.. j. HEYN.
f. LUNNEY ESQ. :

The Committee are agreed that the excessive infant mortality Of
the island is due principally TO NAL nutrition OF mothers and infants.
Other factors wi ich IRE to blame are,
l. The lack Of q proper water supply,
2 The lack Of means to enforce proper sanitary regulations in the
island.
3 The neglect of children owing to the indifference Of parents.
Mr. Baunann has furnished a special report, compiled from Stalls
tics furnished mainly from the 1 dice Office records showing the extent
and rogressive development of the infant mortality from 1881 to the
prestnt time.
THIS special report is published rs an appendxt TO this report.
Mr.. Baumann's figures show plainly that in spite OF all attempts TO
check the infant mortality of the islrnd-attempts which include the
erection of tlnee chndrens homes-the infant mortality is net decrea5-
ing. If the statistics IRE reliable it appears to be ~ the Increase. In
this respect attention must be paid to Mr.. Baumnnns remarks i'll the
