Hanna in the Legislature on We@nesday, . involving as they do alleged corrupt and _ imâ€" proper acts on the part of the two chief Ministers of the Crown in the Ontario Cabinct _ aro startling _ in their suddenness. Bricfly stated Mr. MWm. Proudioot, K.C., charges on Ms responsibility as a member of the Heuse that the Prime Minister and Provincial Secretary illegally caused the issue of a fiat and entered _ into an agreement just prior to the _ last Provincial election to refer a claim of Taylor, Scott and Co., in connecâ€" tion with certain prison contracts to the award of a single arbitrator namâ€" ed Thorne, in pursuance of a contriâ€" bution of $500 to the Tory campaign fund. Manipulation is aiso alleged in connection _ with the opening _ and awarding of certain coal tenders | and in connection with the purchase _ of coalâ€"stokimg appliances. One of the charges, that of the campaign _ conâ€" tribution, has already been admitted by Premier Whitrey. "Advertising rates reasonable and will be made known on application. In view of the grave character of the allegations it is to be regretted that the Government should _ refuse the motion to refer them to a comâ€" mittee of two nonâ€"partizan judges of the Supreme Court. Instead of this the accused have asked that they be Telerred to a partizan Committee of the House on Privileges and _ Elecâ€" tions, upon which the Government of course has a majority of membetrs. "Swat the files" as a means _ of getting rid of these discase breceders has been _ shown to be useless. All the flics one can swat in a lifctime would have little effect on the numâ€" ber of these pests as long as their brecding places are left unmolested. Those "swat the fly" campaigns _ of last year, it is said, did more harm than good. Dr. C. Gordon | Hewitt, Pominion ertomologist, Ottawa, , an authority on the house fly, who has Tecently published a â€"book on them and how they carty discase, says that mnot the killing of the flies themselves, but the preveation of their. breeding by the abolition of theitr usual breedâ€" ing places, is the only way to reduce thcir mumber. HMe says: l am very dubious about this (the killing of the flies themselves) _ and the result of campaigns of this _ naâ€" bure confirms my doubts. . The only time whon the killing of the flies themselves can be of any value is in the spring when the first flies, the progentors of the _ summer millions, are comilig out of hibergation. In certain â€" Canadian cities _ flyâ€"killing campaigns were conducted, in some cases by local committees, in othets by newspapers. In no case did _ the total number of flies killed in . the whoie of the campaign exceed the quantity which could easily be reared under natural conditions _ from an average sized pile of stable refuse in the course of a few weeks. It would seem to me that greater | results would _ be obtained hy conducting campaigns acainst dirty stableyards and backvards, garbage beaps and dumps, privies and all such places which produce flies and suppiy _ them with infection. Havinggffone all possible to destrov the breqfling place, the doctor advises that @f! jood â€" suppliecs should bo sereened _ ard all ~ necessary precau tions taken to prevent â€" infection | by flies.

VID BEAN & SONS, LIMJTED A Crime Against Liberty Grave Charges Starve the Fly What part does the nature of occu pations play in causing tuberculosis? The question is partly answered in a wage earners in Germany. Specificalâ€" ty as to occupations in which dust ard fumes may have a predisposing influence toward consumption, findâ€" ings are taken from a report of the German imperial board of health reâ€" lating to 12,284 male patients and 3,521 lemale patients treated for tuberculosis ef the lungs in public sanitariums. In the case of 3,913 male patimu‘ and 855 female patients it is asserted that the inhalation of dust was a predisposing cause favorable to the disease, accounting for relatively 31.9 per cent. of the male patients . and 24.3 per cent. of the female patients. Every form amd kind of dust exâ€" posure is represented in _ the detailâ€" ed analysis, but the chief forms of dust were as follows, _ for _ male patients: Mctallic dust, 437 patients; and â€" specifically, from _ dust. _ 35 patients; lead dust. 195 _ patients; chalk dust, 56 patients; stone dust 181 patients; coal dust, 65 patients: paint colors dust, 17 patients, flour dust, 68 patients, tobaceo dust. 88 patients; wood dust, 286 patients, and wool dust 159 patients. . Among female patients the only important kinds of industrial dust specifically mentioned were wool dust with 124 patients, and tobacco dust with 23 patients In the case of 415 male patients and of 53 female patients it would seem that the discase has beco favorâ€" ed in its developmenrt by the inâ€" halation of smoke, gas, vapots, . or steam. The more important _ causes of this kina are given in the case of male patients as general smoke ezâ€" posure 85, poisomous gases 77, chemâ€" ical vapors 25, alkali vapors 14. acid vapors 113, and coel smoke 1¢. Among other unfavorable â€" oceupaâ€" tional conditions, mention is â€" wade in the case of male patients of 128 working in badly ventilated | roonis, 568 working in closed rooms comâ€" bined with exposure to cadiating heat and abnormal temperature. 83 working in damp rooms, 360 exposed to an unfavorable climate, aud . @97 subject to excessive bodily â€" strains. Among female patients there were 26 cases of patients working in badly ventilated rooms, 262 working in closed rooms, 262 working in closed rooms combined wuth an unfavorable bodily position, 81 working in damp rooms, and 425 subject to excessive bodily strain. | ‘The attempt to _ shelter | ilhr establishment of boss _ rule _ in ‘('amum, according to the â€" American Qpra(‘ti(‘c in its lowest form, _ Wehind ‘the need of cxpediting work in _ the |parliament of the Empire â€" which ‘transacts the businss of fortyâ€"five ‘millions of people directly, and indliâ€" ‘rectly the business of oneâ€"hali _ the worldâ€"and doing so in the name . of loyalty to the Empire, is outrageous beyond expression, and 1 say, Mr. Speaker, that polttical brigandry nevâ€" erf went further in cowardice _ and treachety under any circumstances or lin any country. A set of rules for the regulation of street traffic has been submitted to the Berlin Council by the Poiise Comâ€" mission for adoption. Would it not be, a great advantage were Waterloo to join with Berlin in this matter with a view to the adoption of uniform regulations, owing to its close proâ€" ximity. The interchange of traffic between these two places is becoming very large. The roads are common to drivers of vehicles in both places, and especially is this the case in conâ€" nection with automobile traffic. The enfpreement _ of such _ a byâ€"law as the one requiring all vehicles to keep to the . tight of the centre linc of main street in Berâ€" lin, and the absence of such a regu;r lation in Waterloo, might some day be the cause of a serious accident, involring loss of life. A _ conference _ between represenâ€" tatives of the two places should be held to ascertain whether it would not be possible for these two _ towns to coâ€"opcrate in the matter of traffic regulations. Berlin and Waterloo ‘age becoming too large and the slrxf traffic too heavy to continue to treat their streets as cow paths so far as the regulation of the traffic is conâ€" corned. Authorities agree that t least 60 per cent. of the tree as it stands in the forest is wasted in converting it into lumber, and that 25 pet cent of the trees remain in the forests to tot or be destroved in forest fires. Tuberculosis and Workers Uniform Regulations copy of the last issue of the Northâ€" Mr. Irvin Master of the Berlin City Mills has handed * the on the proposed tariff changes lnnla-‘ tion to their effect on the milling: industry of that country. It is eviâ€" dent from, the tone of the article that feeling is greatly aroused among the millers over the prospect of free flour without the removal of the tariff on wheat which the Democrats propose to continue at 10 cents a _ bushel. ‘The millers are confronted with . a situation involviag world competition oa their manufactured product and a [duty on their raw material. western Miller, O course the tarif bill limits this competition to countries that admit United States flour free of duty, ffour from other countric¢s being called upon to pay a duty of 10 per cent. . ad valorem. _ This provision at _ once osens the Americar market to British millecs. In view of the fact that the present capacity of Canadian mills is estimaâ€" ted to be sufficient for a population of about 30,000,000 péople, Mr. Masâ€" ter believes that the adoption of the United States tariff in its present form will be followed by an _ early demand on the part of Canadian millâ€" ers for the removal of the _ present ‘duty of 60 cents a barrel on United States flour entering Canada in order to throw the American market open to them. It may safely be predicted that the saving of the traffic for Canada‘s cast and west lines of transportation will not be one of the arguments used in connection with the Canadian Millers‘ application for the removal of the Capadian tarif on flour in order to secure iree entry into the _ United States market. The Current number of "Conservaâ€" tion,‘" the interesting and helpful litâ€" tle publication of the Dominion Conâ€" servation Commission, contains _ a number of suggestions of the subject of civic cleanliness which might proâ€" fitably be put into practice in Berlin and other Ontario cities and â€" towns. Civic cI;anlim-ss, it says, has not advanced very far in Canada. Tho town â€" dump, with all its tinâ€"cans, wasteâ€"paper, old rags and ash conâ€" glomerate is frequently as much a public institution as the town _ hall or the town council. For the sake of economy in cartage the dumps are frequently placed much too close to residential districts, and civic apathy permits them to remain there, and to grow in bulk and unsightliness. emp NEW RECORD Chance for Canadian Millers Calgary, Albertai April 'Jfl.’â€"(('ana‘ dian Press.)â€"A new record for spring wheat seeding has been established at‘ the Canadian Government experimenâ€" tal farm agf Lethbridge.
