One of the really striking changes in personal habits which has occurred within recent years is the habit of opening the bed-room window at night. It is not so many years ago since the windows were closed, with the( coming of cold weather. Indeed, many persons stuffed the few cracks around the windows to make sure that no air came in from outside. That was the time when a sick personi was protected from coal, fresh air, as I if one mouthful of it would cause his; death. ( The fight against tuberculosis has not been along this line. In place of force, persuasion, by means of edu- cation, was used. The educational work has not been limited to those suffering from tuberculosis, but has extended to all. From the start, the value of fresh air was stressed and we were advised to open our bedâ€"room We may forget that tuberculosis was the first disease which was fought by education. Other diseases had been fought by police ineasures by compulsion. People were forced to improve living and work-places; they were obliged to install sanitary con- veniences; if they suffered from a communicable disease. they were isol- ated whether they wished to be or not. THE OPEN BED-ROOM WINDOW PAGE TWO With finds which they believe rank with those of King Tut’s tomb in antiquity if not In‘splendor, nine members of the Stollâ€" McCracken Expedition at the American Museum of Natural History reached Montreal over the lines of the Canadian National Railways from Prince Rupert. B.C., where they left the Schooner Efiie M. Morrisey which had carried them through the Arctic waters. The party consist- ing of Char es Stoll of New York, backer and Direc- tor of the Expedition and his wife, a noted big game huntress: Harold McCracken, Assoeiate Editor of Field and Stream and leader of the expedition: Dr H. E. Anthony, Curator of Mammals of the American Museum and other Museum experts, left the port of Prince Rupert on May lst for northern waters, and were at one time 225 miles north of Point Barrow. Their search was for ancient mummies believed to be of Stone Age men, whose presence on the barren islands of the Aleutians group had been reported. On a. barren island, far 'from the present haunts of men, a burial was discovered in which were four bodies in a rude sarcophagus, constructed of driftâ€" wood, cleverly mortised together and held by nails made of walrus bone. The mummies were those of a chieftain; his hunter who was sent on the long journey with him to provide game for his food; a seamstress who had her sewing equipment for re- pairing the chief’s garments, and a child believed to show the chief’s love of children. Beside the body of the hunter, were the stone hatchets and harpoons of AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING CO. LTD. J.

OF THE windows in order to benefit by and enjoy hours of sleep in the fresh air, thus lessening the chances of the oc- currence of tubercuolsis. It is true that fresh air, day and night, is good. We know that the 01d idea of night air being bad is not true. At night. we miss the sunshine; that is the only difference. Those who sleep with bedâ€"room windows open do so because they like it, because, when the windows are open, they sleep betâ€" ter, they feel better and they are bet- ter. 1/ Well, why shouldn’t the great Tun- ‘ney write an advertisement hoestinga {certain oil? Mussolini did a lot for ‘castor oil. The window is, of course, opened with consideration for the temperâ€" ature and the wind. If a fraction of an inch on a cold, windy night allows a slight current of cool air to pass through the room’ that is sufficient. Fresh air is one of the valuable things that may be had simply for the effort of taking it. ‘ Keep the bed-room window open!

The mummies were splendidly preserved and showed every indication that the peo 1e of the Asiatic races, from which these “Stone ge" men were believed to have come used methods of preser- vation similar to those of the Ancient Egyptians in preserving the bodies of their Pharaohs. The four mummies, including the trunkless head of the hunter which is shown here in the hands of Harold Mc- Cracken, leader of the Expedition, travelled to Montreal with the party on the Continental Limited of the Canadian National Railways and will be placed in the American Museum together with the impor- tant groups of mammals and birds of the Arctic waters which the party secured during their expediâ€" tion. 6 Photographs show the members of the party on their arrival at Bonaventure Station, Montreal; the mummified head of the hunter brought back by Mr. McCracken, and “Tough” a member of the party and the only English bulldog which is known to {lave eyer sailed A_rctig waters, gaquying a lookout. from the cab of the Canadiali Nfiti'oni'l locomotive which hauled their tram into ~Canadian National Railways photogra This Week of 1904 When the High School Commence~ ment Exercises were held in the High School.

At a subsequent meetâ€" ing of the directors, Peleg Howland was re-elected President and Sir Jam- !es Woods, Viceâ€"President for the en- es W suing well managed bank, conservative but progressive too, because of a fore- sight unhampered by any doubts or misgivings of Canada’s future. The ‘present position as compared with a year ago shows an increase in assets of $12,000,000. and the entire amount has found its way into “Current loans and discounts“ â€"â€" in other words, the iCommercial side of the Bank's busi- 2 HESS. w The Bank is in a Strong Position Cash plus Government, Municipal, {and other securities owned, and Call LLoans on securities, make ufi‘ a total 10f $74,380,000. or 57.8 per cent. of lia- ‘bilities to the public, and it is inte- iresting to note that the lesser items in the balance sheet such as Non-Cur- rent Loans, Real Estate not Bank Premises, and other Assets, are the lowest in many years, and represent less than 1 per cent. of the Bank’s Assets. Profits for the year amount. ed to $1,459,472. showing an increase over the high record of last year of $70,000. The profits, with the balan- ce carried forward. have enabled the directors to pay dividends of 13 per cent. and the usual contribution to staff funds, and write $500,000 off Bank Premises and transfer $500,000 to Reserve Fund. This is the first transfer to Reserve Fund since 1919, and establishes that fund at $8,000,~ 000. The President, Mr. Peleg Howland, and the General Manager, Mr. A. E. Phipps, reviewed industrial conditions in Canada and found them to be fav- ourable for continued prosperity. The Vice-President, Sir James Woods, spoke more of the future of this coun- try and the strides it will make under scientific development. Altogether, the report is one that our citizens from coast to coast should be glad to read.
