Mrs. Julian had been in â- vear his bathing suit at the reception P"*"* *^«alth for a number of years. Death of Mrs. Geo. Julian | Shipping Association Had Exc silent Year EDiTOKIAL NOTES There is some hope that reform in UianBKenient of Ont. mental hospitals will cume a.s a result of the com- plaints made by an ex-patient, refer- red to in The Advance a short time since. It is high time that the Pro- vincial authorities, charged with the management of these institutions, in â- which over 10,000 of our population are detained, largely at the expense of the public, woke up to the neces- sity of making such changes as shall tend to the amelioration of the condi- tions under which so many of our unfortunate fellow citizens are de- tained, and adopt means to increase the prospect of their i-ecovery. Dr. Goldwin Jlowland, of the Provincial University staff, and Vice-Chairman od the Association of Occupational Therapy, has only very recently supplied striking details of the differ- ences in our mental ho.!pitals in deal- ing with' those placed in their charge. The defect has been made more mani- fest as a sequel to the late war, and It has been established beyond a doubt that a patient's recovery is greatly facilitated by means of keeping him jDCCupied with suitable employment. They tell us now that there are two ^difficulties in the way of employing mentally afflicted persons. One is that in Ontario there has been little <>r no provision made for the supply «(f aides to the hospitals capable of ^directing such employment. Thti is only in part true, as for many years fn such hospitals as those at London and Hamilton, fine farms and gard- ens have been maintained, the work being largely performed by inmates, t>hy8ically fit to undertake it. But only a small percejitage of the tliou- ifernds cf patients under treatment can find employment in this way, and what medical men with the vision of Dr. Rowland would like to have pro- vided is a system of the type which has been of great advantage in the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers, many of whom have since been en- abled to earn their livelihood by means of the handicraft learned by tbem a^ part of their treatment. It is stated further, in extenuation Oif the failure ii far to proceed cxpe- flitiously with this reform, that trades tinion men object to this class of em- ployment being provided for the in- mates of the hospitals, and that this accounts for the fact that, though the new pjychologic hospital in To- ronto is equipped with an exceptional therapy room, there is no staff to op- erate it. In the hospital at Whitby, Dr. Howyand says, there were two aides at one time, but latterly only one! At the Queen street (Toronto) hospital, there is but one aid for lOOO patients. We doubt if the statement is well founded that any class of workers in the community would seri- ously object to see effective means taken to provide such work for pati- ents in mental hospitals as would aid them in recovery of their faculties. If there are any such, let the Ministe in charge of these institutions orga- nise a visitation of the objectors to any of our representative mental hos- pitals. A sight of many patients, ca- pable of work and finding none, ly- ing idly in their beds, or lining the coit'idors doinp; absolutely nothing, â- would surely convert the most preju- diced to favor '-ipeedy and effective action. to Young, the swimming champion, when he returns home in a few days. * * • If that youth Young does not re- turn to Toronto soon nn<l let the en- thusiasts reward him for his swinim- infc prowess some of the noisy ones will have a fit. It is now proposed to pay a Cana- dian bonus of 70 cents per ton on coke produced from Canadian coal. If the consumer gets the benefit of the new development wo are heartily in favor of the proposition. Let a •".tart be made as soon as possible. • • • Though his election has been pro- tested, the trial of the election peti- tion in the case of Mr. A. P. Mowhin- ney M.P.P. for North Bruce, can- not be tried before the Legislature meets next month.

Whiteoak, on Saturday, and a funeral service was held in the church here. The remains were then laid to rest in Bethel cemetery. Mrs. Julian leaves to mourn her los-3 besides her sorrow- ing husband, two daughter?, Mrs. C. Hornby of Collingwood and Mrs. R. J. ^^hiteoak of Feversham; also two sis- ters, Mrs. L.

Mrs. Julian lived for most of her life in and near this village, her father and mother be- ing among the pioneers of Osprey. Her maiden name was Evangeline Hudson. She was a member of the United Church. A great number of old friends and neighbors assembled to pay their last respects and to show their sympathy with the sorrowing family.

An enjoyable time -was spent by all present. Winter is half gone with but a few zero days and an absence of blizzards so far. Mr. Arnold McKay left last Thurs- day to take a course in a Toronto bus- iness college. His mother accomp- anied him to the^city, where she ia spending a few days with friensd there. When Mr. O. E. Agar went into his poultry house about eight o'clock Tuesday morning, he picked from the nests an even two dozen freslj laid eggs .which the hens had laid there aince five o'clock that morning. Mr. Agar has gone into the poultry busi- ness on a large scale and is following the methods of scientific fowl handling laid down at the agricultural college. His hundred and twenty-five hens and pullets, all of which are laying,, are housed in a building embracing all the approved features of a model poultry house. Electric lights are installed therein with a three-way switch at the door and another in the house easily reached on a cold dark morn- ing. Mr. Agar sets an alarm for 5 o'clock in the morning and when it rings he turns on the switch and completes his night's rest while the hens are up -and attending to busi- ness. Every morning at five o'clock this poultry house is flooded with light enough to light the chicken house completely. The hens are allowed to go to roost at dusk, the artificial light not being employed at night. Mr. Agar is getting satisfactory results from the adoption of the most ap- proved methods of poultry keeping â€" Alliston Herald.
