 The movement had its inception in Saskatchewan. Through cooperation of the Canadian Red Cross and the provincial board of health adequate funds, nurses and doctors have been provided. Small outpost hospitals under supervision of qualified atten- dants already have been established at points not previously close to medical facilities.
 It IS all a part of Canada's gen. eral health campaign. War on ton, sils and andenoids in western Can. ada, according to statistics, has brought the health of children up to first rank among nations of the world.

MISTAKES CAT AND
 FAMILY FOR GHOSTS

By International News Scrvicc)
 HUNTINGTON, w. Va. Aug. 18.- Another good "spook" story has gone glimmeTing. The theory that a house in Highlawn was haunted and that spirits were making definite and noisy demonstrations was exploded when the flooring on the top story was removed and the house cat. which had been imprisoned there for several days. marched blithely forth, with nine little kittens in her wake. For several days weird sounds had been emanating from various sources on the top floor of the house, and the occupants. who recently moved in, were beginning to fear that there was, after all, something in the superstition about houses being haunted.
 When the family moved in it was necessary to have certain repairs made to the electric wiring. A part of the flooring was removed and later replaced. The cat went be- meath the flooring when 1t was torn up and was imprisoned inside by the electricians in finishing their work.

VIENNA FOLKS TOOPROUD TO
 ASK CHARITY
CBy International News s.rrice)

tBy International News Serrice)
 VIENNA, Aug. 1S.-"The old peo- pie of Vienna are slow to ask for help" writes Miss Clara Landsberg, of Chicago, III, in an article on Tho Austrian Intellectual Class" for pub lication la England. Only after they have been refused work repeatedly on account of their age, or because their health has completely broken down and they realize themselves that the world will pay them nothing for what they can offer will they apply to a mission for aid
 They are doing much for them selves. Every day in the Volsgarten one sees delicate old ladies taking children out walking. Ladies who formerly embroidered, or knit dainty gifts for their friends, now sell their handwork to help them to live. One old pensioned general has taken to painting and his room is filled pictures of the Semmering taken from sketches made in this beauti- full Austrian resort in the happy was a matter of course. A majors widow, whom necessity has taught to do beautiful mending. begs to be allowed to mend and patch and darn in return for the old-age ration which the Friends mission gives to specially deserving cases. One begs to be given translation to do; an other offers to teach French and Ger man. and still another seeks any sort of clerical work Some ask pitifully if We cannot suggest some return they might make-anything to show their gratitude and to lessen the burden of taking a gift from a stranger.
 Even when old people have writ ten to the Friends mission that they are suffering for the necessities of life, they find it very difficult not to treat the visit of kindly investi- gator as a friendly call and evade wholly the subject Of their own need. If by chance. however, an unexpeCt- ed gas bill to be paid in advance has just been received and an old mother and her delicate daughter are discussing what they still have left to sell, the mission visitor seems to them to be an angel sent from heaven and the delicately reared ladies will confess in a burst of confidence that their pension is barely enough to buy them one meal a day in the city soup kitchen. Clothing, shoes, household linen, kitchen utensils, even spool of thread, have been beyond their widest dreams of extravaganza for several years. They pay their rent by letting rooms and by selling what they can spare.
 "Old man who are pensioners are usually more helpless than the wo- men. One heard last winter terrible tales of deaths from cold and starva. tion because they would not ask for help even when they had sold every thing of value they had. The state recognizes in theory their hopless situation and tries to help them meet the ever-rising prices with small bonus, but Austria, all but bankrupt l has to choose between paying ade
 quate salaries to keep it's active
 workers alive, and adequate bonuses
 to it's pensioners; and naturally il
 ends by choosing the former"
