EDITORIAL NOTES Vote Hogarth for Reeve The Canadian Bank of Commerce, tvhich recently took into its fold the istandard Bank (of which there was a branch in this village) was in its ear- Iie.it years a very stern institution 'Sk'heii taking on new customers, anu Xh* district managers of that day -swcre constantly admonished to curb It1ir!r enthusia.sm unless where ac- ftvunts were known to be "(tilt edged.* "TViis 13 the view entertained by Mr. CSwrlesworth, in his recently issuca "'Chronicles," and is doubtless well founded, as he is also the author of » history of the frreat financial in- stitution which now has a live branch in Flesherton. Mr. Charles wjrth •points out that Senator McMaster, its founder and President, was in his de- clining year.'' in the early eighties, and the head office policy seemed to have solidified into the idea that t'le Isusincss of a liank was to hoard money and ta distrust all applicants for loans. The mo:!t interesting of all the ir.inutes of proceedings at head- quarters, in view C'f the subsequent history of the Bank of Coinmerco, was one bearing the date of 1883, â- which ran as follows: "Request for loan of $.1000 by O. A. Cox, Peterborough, ref( -red to tiead office by manager of Poterbor- ough branch. Refused." This applicant was none othe • than the man subsequently known as the jfreat financier, .Senator George A. Cox, and even then recognized as the ablest man in his dijtrict. Within four year.-? Mr. Cox had acquired en- ough stock in the Bank of Commerce to make him financial maate:- of ::s destinies, had dismissed the general manager at whose instance this paltry loan had been refused, and had brought Mr. Byron E. Walkar from the Ne\v York agency to initiate ;•. new regime, and save the institution •*rom what might have been ultima-.j extinction. Sir Kdmund Walker re- mained at the head of the bank ana formulated its policien while he liveci, and had tho confid^-nci' and supjioi*. not only rf Senatoi- C^ox, but of man^ of our leading financior.s in proj-.iotlng the interest.s, not only of the bank, but of the Dominion. He was an ex- ample to all young men. Practically self-made, he was one of the ha'-des: â- working financial leaders this country has produced, and the Bank of Com- merce, a-? it is to-day, is his best mon- ument. He trained good men to take the helm when he let go.

Vole Whittaker I Health Service I THE DOG PROBLEM The menace of sheep being killed by dogs has not been abated to any irreat extent in the township of Os- prcy and Artemesia. According to the financial statement used at the nominations on Monday the Town- ship of 0.sprey actually paid out in money to sheep ownc~s the sum of $699 for sheep killed by dog.-s, while $19 was expended for the valuing of the same, making a total of $718 In 1927 O.sprey expended in the same •way $228 for sheep and $27.2.") for for valuing same, slightly more than three timcH the depredation being cau.sed this year. In Artemesia Township there is a slight reduction in sheep lossc.i from $1055.10 in 1927 to $985..')5 this ear, but the valuing fees were greatly re- duced f'-om $100.5) last year to $02 75, a total reduction th isycar of $173- FiO in the sheep account of th: Tf.wn- ship. The sheep losses sustained from dogs running at large, is tremcnd- «us and if dog owners would co-op- crate and keep their wandering dogs at home (or shoot them) the rate- IMyer would have considerably more money in his pocket. A wandering Oog is of no use to its owner nor anyone else. t • of the â-  % ij: CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOC. ;|- SUSPECTING Tl BERCULOSIS Perhaps, to most persons, a suspic- ion of tuberculosis means cou^ii, sputum, the raising of blood, and pain in the chest. Those are indeed sign.; cf tuberculosis. Blood spitting should always be considered as due to tub- erculosis until it is p -oved otherwise. We may say that the rei'soi ^vho raises some blood early in the dls- easiest fo-tunatc, tecaiise this fri- ghtens him and sends him to his physician. However, the signs men- tioned above are what occur when the disease is well established, and what we should know are the signs and symptoms that occur earlier than this. It is not our intention to attempt to describe all the earliest signs which would make suspicious of tub- berculosis, but rather to point out one or two of the commonest, be known to all, and the presence of which should send them to their phsician for examination, to find out there is no actual disease. The most important of these early suspicious signs is the most difficult to define. It is chronic fatigue, un- due fatigue, causing individual to ti'c easily. The person who finds that he i:! regularity tired every after- noon, that everything is an effort, should have medical examination. Any cough lasting over six weeks fhould suggest medical examination. If the.se two rigns ware ?on !iderc(i by all as danger sign.-^ls which would turn them toward their doctor's of- fice, there would be fewer cases of tubcrculor.is that are far advanced when the phy.?ician first sees them. Not everyone with these symptonu has tuberculosis, but some have, and the only way in v/bich one can pro- tect himself is by having a thorougii medical examination to ascertain the cause in any particular case, and, if it is tuberculosis, to secure early treatment which offers the beet chance for cure.
