There were two possible ways of

the control of insect life, flies and
mosquitoes, has played it's part.
Only second to the improvement
in the milk supply has been the
role of the reduction of the infec-
tious diseases. Diphtheria, one of
the great scourges of infancy in
former days, is now controlled by
the use of preventive incubation
in the early years, and the control
of the disease if it should attack
a baby, by the use of antitoxin.
Typhoid fever, also a scourge of
childhood in former times, has been
reduced by better control of water
supply, milk supply and by individ-
ual vaccination. VS. E
It is well from time to time to
warn people again to have these
vaccinations against diphtheria
and typhoid carried out. In the
case OF typhoid fever, during the
period of infancy and childhood,

also be carried out.

 Stories of DOner
 Stories of the lawyer who drop ped dead at 4:So p. nl., on October Sl, 1926, were on everyones lips. | One close friend of the baby derby,s sponsor, summed him up like this: They've tried to make Charley out to be crack-pot and a male volent demon. But he was only a sublime jokster. All his life he was thinking up practical jokes. This is his masterpiece. I read somewhere that Charley made his peculiar will because he loved children and rev. cred motherhood. Get that out of your mind. He hated women.
 "We used to sit together for hours in the old days. Charley, as a law yer, handled many wills. He'd often say: Dead men always come back to plague us.' Nobody ever heard of Millar outside of Toronto before he died. But 10 years after his death, everybody from here to Shanghai knows all about him and that cuckoo will"
 Sardonic Humor
 Millar's "sardonic humor" was also blamed for his having be- queathed certain liquor stocks to ministers, and race track shares to members of an anti-gambling or ganization.
 Mrs. Peter Romas, a 24-year-old, red-headed Irish woman, wife of a Greek chef. was last-Ininute entry in the baby derby, who may upset the whole race.
 She is the mother of eight chill dren all born in Toronto within the prescribed 10-years, and was ex- pecting twins before the race ended this afternoon. Should the twins materialize on time, she would lead the field by one baby.
 However, Mrs. Martin Kenny, another contestant with nine chil- dren, also was expecting another be- fore the dead-line, as was Mrs. Grace Gabnato.
