Circulation over 1000, j Price in Canada $2.00 per year, | when paid in advance $1.50. In paid in advance $2.00. 1 U. S. A. $2.50 per year, when W. H. THURSTON, - - Editor F. J. THURSTON. - Assoc. Editor DR. GROVKS HONORED The nearby town of Fergus paid a deserved tribute last Friday evening to a noted physician, who for sixty- one years has carried on an hospita in the place and has been of signal service to a wide circle of patients Dr. Abram Groves, who was the guest of honor at a banquet tendered hitr by over 400 of his friends and neigh- bors and distinguished members of his- profession, was a pioneer in mosl Important advance in his profession It wa pointed out at this gathering for example, that years before Lord Lister brought forward his ideas o1 sterilization Dr. Groves was beiliTijz every instrument he used. Then this humble town practitioner led the wa> in the western world when thirteen years after he began practice, being called to diagnose the cause of agon iBing pains in a patient, he success- fully performed the first known oper- ation of appendectomy. No wondei he, for so many years, achieved fame. as a successful diagnotk-Ian and sur Reon. Resisting every inducement tc move to a greater centre of popula- tion this distinguished healer pre- ferred to remain with his kith ana kin in the old town, and he had double reward in the confidence that has been shown him by the widt constituency who never doubted hit skill. Now, having reached an age vouch- safed to but few of his profession, he presents the fine hospital established by him to the people of Fergt's, %vho will doubtless see to it that the insti- tution remains in the front rank. Ht also has the proud satisfaction tc know that his son and grandson arc following in his footsteps as talented medical men. All honor to his name He has gven a fine example to mem- bers of the healing profession. that it wan illegal to fish on Sunday forces the Durham Chronicle to statv that his actions should not be toler- ated, as the Lord's Day Alliance officers announced that that section of the Act is not enforced. The con- stable in question received his in- structions from the Crown Attorney and, therefore acted on advice. If thc A:t i rot to be enforced i should be taken off the books. It is just another step toward) the day when Canada will be wide open on Sunday to all forms of cor^-ercialism as at present in vogre in the United States. We hope that day is in tht far distance. The British Marketing Board has imported from Burma a cargo ol mangosteens and hope to open up t trade in the fruit, which is a favor ite In our sister dominion, but not marketed hitherto in either the mother-land, or this country. Tht fruit is dark red and hard as a cricket KdiloiTbr CHANT FLEMING. M.D. ~ ASSOCIATE SECRtTARV, ISOLATION HOSPITALS Our older readers may recall the time, when they used to hold thei' breath when passing a house which was placarded for a communicable dis- ease. They may also remember that isolation hosnitals were built away from the residential area, and that the smallpox hospital was regarded as a pest house. That attitude can be understood, ball outside. The inside of the fruit when we rea )j zc that, in the past, it is pure white and juicy and it is sweet and thirst-quenching. The is being sold at nine-pence ea:h but it ma- become, in some measure, a rival of grape fruit if it can be- come so popular as to warrant its be/.ng sold for less. What enterpris- ing Canadian importer will add thi- nroduet to the inter-Empire trade 01 the country ? A "back-to-thc-land" movement if n force up at Sudbury. where 40C iobless men are to be given farms o clear and a month's rations, while was generally believed that the com- municable diseases were air-born. Il was during the same period that was considered to be a sewer-gas serious menace and was regarded a? the cause of many ills. We know now that disease is not air-borne, and we know, too, that the germs of disease are usually spreae in a fairly direct manner from the sick to the well, or by the transfer ence of fresh, germ-laden secretions the case. If the case is a serious one, then the treatment facilities of a hospital are required, as they are ii any serious illness. The community, which has an iso lation hospital, .!has something 'fo which to be thankful. Such an instl tution is a treatment facility whic aids in protecting the whole com munity and which provides hospita care for those who, for one reason o another, require it. It has only been comparatively re rently that the public have looke favorably upon hospitals. The used to be regarded as places whic were aVpidid" at all 'costs. No^ they are recognized for their tru worth as life-saving institutions. T a certain extent, the old view sti persists with regard to isolation ho? pitals, and many parents hesitate t commit their children to the care o these institutions.

Isolation hospitals are required be- cause, in many homes, it is not poss- '.Me to isolate the case. To begin with, the home may be overcrowded and so a scpa-.ite room is not avail- able. The case of communicable dis- ease requires nursing care, and the mother who has children to look after cannot give her whole time to its admissions to cases of communi- cable <Vseases. The l'<ciities for treatment and the care given to pa- tients are just as high an order as ir. other hospitals. We are now coming to the time wher. isolation hospitals will not be bi'ilt away from the community, but will form part of the general hospital It is one of the safest places in tht woild. because necessary precaution? are taken there to prevent the spread of disease germs.

Mr. Fred Haddell, who some years ago ran a bakery here and has sinct been in Detroit, was in town last Fri- day and for anyone who is bemoaninq conditions existing here just now, his stories of Detroit were most stimulat- ing.

He says there is absolutely no business in Detroit and people are leaving the city in thousands every month.
