BLAME STERILIzER
 FOR FIVE DEATHS
Chief Engineer Of Canadian HOs-
 pital Discharged After Probe

Edmonton, Alta. Dec. LPl - A committee Of bacteriologists has found that the deaths of five pa tients after operations at the Royal Alexandra hospital were caused by inefficient handling of the steriliz- ing apparatus.
 The committee reported at an in- quest that operating room linen which had been passed through the sterilzer was not properly sterilized so that streptocoCci and staphlococ- ci germs passed uuharmed through the apparatus.
 The engineers staff at the hospi- tai was blamed for failing to pre- vide a steam pressure Of Is pounds for the sterilizer, which the com mittee declared was necessary for efficient sterilization.
 The first death was that of Mrs. Pawlina, who died November 25 after an operation. The next day, Harry Edwards died. Three other patients whose names were not dis closed also died.
 Investigation showed that all five deaths were caused by the infection Of streptococcus haemolyticus, which is described as similar to the germ of scarlet fever.
 The operating room was closed pending determination of the source Of the infection.
 The chief engineer of the hospi- tai was dismissed after the investi- gation.

 AT HIGH SCHOOL TIMED
Dave Erwin Leads Field Home in TrialS-Wmd Slows Up
 Men on Course.

High school cross country runners were timed yesterday afternoon for the first time this year by Coach Lionel M Depot. The best time for yesterdays run was Is minutes and 30 seconds, which was turned in by Dave Erwin. a member Of last years track and cross country teams. Er- win is expected to he one of the leading point scorers in next springs meets. Several newcomers, among them Mckeon. were among the first finishers.
 The runners were slowed yester- day because of a strong wind which they had to face throughout the last mile. The majority Of the runners got off to a fast start, but soon after the spaces widened rapid ly between the first group and a second group, which was followed by the remaining runners widely spaced apart.
 Larry Boticelli, first string miller and halfmiler, was unable to show his wares at yesterdays run be- cause of an injury to his foot that refuses to heal Boticelli contracted the injury at one of the first prac- tiCe sessions this season and has continued to run thinking that the rest periods between practices would provide sufficient time to heal the injury, but Coach Depot has told Boticalli not to run again until the open abrasion has completely healed

Terrell on the Buy-a-B Bale
Pronosa1

Commissioner OF Agriculture George B. Terrell Is
said to frown on Gov. Moodys buy-a-bale plan as q
means to advance the price Of cotton. He admits the
movement is good as far as 1t goes but unless it is
participated in generally throughout the country 1T
will do very little good towards advancing prices"
Commissioner Terrell Is a farmer. He will be a
farmer member Of the And legislature. Speaking
as commissioner he goes on record as follows:
IF the money Of the South we're properly used to
protect the value Of the crop the price would 90 TO
IS cents In 80 days. The price will naturally adj
vance whenever general business conditions improve.
Moreover the Farmers Marketing association Is I'M
dertaking to induce the farms and business interests
TO hold 100000 bales off the market for 20 cents per
pound and II this were done the price Of cotton would
Immediately advance"
He predicted the government is not going TO donate
anything TO anybody and added those who have had
so much to say about federal aid have found this out
by now. Good and sufficient security must be put up
to secure any aid from the government and aid can
be secured from local sources upon the same securi-
ties"
And that's that. To sell cotton one must find a
buyer. There is a large surplus in sight. And the
advocates Of the age-old gospel OF supply and demand
insist that demand Is the thing needed the civilized
world over to move the great American staple.

He declared that one of the means OF promoting

ership Of nome and industry and urged that work
men be made part owners in the business in which
they were employed" Decentralization OF industry
into a number Of smaller units also was
by the senior senator as an aid to prosperity and IN
lettering employment conditions. He attacked the
system whereby 40 per cent Of the nations wealth
was placed in the hands Of two per cent Of its popula-
tion while IS per cent OF the population controlled
only is per cent"
He appealed to the American Legion to r~ededicate
itself to world peace and stated that unless the United
States joined in the movement 1t would be a menace
to itself and the world There is a general election
coming in November, democratic leaders the country
over are hopeful that they will capture both houses
OF the new congress. It would be another load for the
donkey. There will be a presidential election In 1882.
A republican president and a democratic congress
would furnish ideal copy makers but would 1t be pos
sible for a constructive legislation program to be put
over by the lawmakers and given the approval Of the
president?
Long before the coming OF 1892 there will be an up
grade prosperity movement In the United States
Truth is the republicans would be in great good luck
If they lost control Of congress in the coming month
