Sir Frederick Williams-Taylor Points Orderâ€"People Must lnsist on Governmcn Meeting. hat Canada Must Put House in Out T t Practising Policy of Economy. ___________.â€"_'~ The 107th annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Bank. of Montreal was marked by interesting addresses by Sir Vincent Meredith. President, and Sir Frederick Wil- Hams-Taylor, General Manager. The President declared that he was satisfied “that a gradual improvement in the trade situation is occuiring. Statistical returns support this view, and while there is irregularity in the movement. in the main the trend is upward." After pointing out the grati- fying "rowth of a favorable balance of trade, the President declared that he regarded this increase in Canada's foreign trade credit as “an augury of a not distant improvement in domes- tic business." The President concluded his ad- dress with the following expression of confidence: “My last word is a word of confi- dence and encOuragement. The in- terests of your Bank are more closely bound up with those of Canada than ever before and unless Canada pros- pers the Bank cannot expect the prosperity it should enjoy. I believe Canada will prosper. It offers in- ducements to immigrants vastly su- perior to those of other countries which are at present endeavoring to attract citizens. it stands third amongst the countries of the world in natural resources. “Yetcardinalvirtues must be prac- ticed and I would again stress the necessity for hard work and econ- omy, so often preached and seldom put into practice, and the need for immigration.

The health of many men and women engaged in certain industries is affect- ed by benzol, a product largely used in this province in the preparation 0 rubber for commercial purposes. T00 often in the past, before the effects of benzol poisoning were known, and measures taken to counteract; it, there Twas a considerable amount of some- what unexplainable sickness, through such conditions as loss of energy and loss of appetite, general weakness, sleeplessness and irritability. These and other symptoms of a kindred na- ture indicated that something was wrong, but just what the trouble actu- ally was, constituted a problem. i r .

If this were a poor country our case would be a bad one, but we have riches in our forests. our fields, our fisheries. and in our miner- als, also in our mighty water powers, and in the industry and ambition of our people. . “If Canada were a private business enterprise the situation would pre- sent no great difiiculty. for we are solvent, with wealth vastly in excess of our liabilities; and a way would be found by following the obvious course of cutting down our overhead and. like a sane, capable and indus- trious people, putting our house in order." I I HEALTH EDUCATION MIDDLETON ‘Health, in plants where this commod- ity was used. One of the firsttests lconsisted in making an examination of persons working ‘there, to see if the amount of red and .white corpuscles were up to the stan- dard. In nearly every casewhere the worker had been submitted to the fumes of benzol for a considerable length of time, there was a diminuâ€" ltion in the white blood count resulting in the symptoms already mentioned. Just how many people in the province are subjected to benzol fumes has not been determined up to the present but at any rate, there is definite proof that the poisoning from this source constitutes a health hazard, the in~ 'jurious effects of which cannot be minimized. It might be opportune to mention {at this point that benzol is very ac~ tive solvent for rubber. It is efficient and economical in all trades in which rubber has to be used. Its only two disadvantages, and both are formidâ€" iable, are that the fumes are poisonous iand highly inflammable. It will, ltherefore, be seen at once that measâ€" fures have to be taken to control the gfumes of benzol and quickly and effi- ciently remove the from workshops and factories where people are em- ployed. ; A few days ago I visited a large canning factory in this province where benzol is used in the manufac- ,ture of rubber rings for the lids of Iairtight cans. Recently one or two iof the workers employed in this in- dustry died and the cause of death was attributed to benzol poisoning. iAs a result, ver active interest is fnow being taken y the management ‘11) the health of the workers, and every possible effort is being made to remove the danger of benzol poisoning. Powerful exhausts have been installed over the ovens where the benzol fumes :are evaporated and these exhausts 1draw away a very large amount of {the fumes. Except directly at the in- take of the exhaust, the odor of hen- 5201 is hardly discernible. As a furâ€" ;ther precaution, the workers are subâ€" .Jected to a blood examination every _month or six weeks, and if any indi- cation of anaemia is found. the affect- ;ed person is either transferred to an- {other department or allowed to go {home for a period of rest and recupâ€" ,eratron._ The management has further {Shown'its interest in the workers by ’prowding a pint of fresh milk each ,morning for every worker in the henâ€" 1zol department, and this innovation has proved doubly successful in that 11t has stimulated the employees and .especrally the women emplo'ees to ,‘brmg-sandwiches, etc, to ta e with :the milk. Many of these women, worâ€" : ried with household cares had hitherto stime for only a cup of tea or coffee be- ,fore coming to work. The provision 'of milk has brought about a better standard of health for every worker Eso favored, and in addition has reâ€" iduced the time lost through sickneSS. {Efforts are being made by the Indus- Itrral Hygiene Divrsion of the Pro. ln‘ncial Department of Health to inâ€" iterest all employers in the health of 1their workers, so that active measâ€" lures may be taken to preserve the ; health of all classes of people engaged lin industry and so bring about a bet- lter standard of health and living conâ€" ditions not only for the workers themâ€" selves but also for their families and ldependents That anomaly of the gentler sex, the fur neckpicce in summer that fas- hion decrees milady must Wear if she would he the envy of other L.

Man, who tells of her new found health as fol- lows:~"Some years ago I had an at- tack of pneumonia and it left me in a. terribly weakened and run-down state. I was unable to walk for a long time as I had practically lost the use of my legs, and had to be carried up- stairs, for I had not the strength to go myself. I became despondent over my condition for I had tried many remedies, which failed to help me. While in this wretched condition a lady friend urged me to give Dr. Wilâ€" liams' Pink Pills a trial and 1 pro- cured a supply. After taking the pills for a while I could see that I was growing stronger, and l gladly contin- ued their use until I had fully regain- ed my old-time health and strength. Now if I feel at all run down at any time I at once take Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills, and they never fail me. I can therefore warmly recommended them to others who may be run down.” There is no better tonic than Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills to improve the acute diseases such as fevers, pneu- monia, influenza, etc. Given a fair trial they will not disappoint you.
