While it is something much to be desired, particularly if it is on a sound actuarial basis, and should go a long way toward relieving hospitals in their financial problems, there may also be some complications, principal of which will be even greater pressure in the demana for service from already overtaxed hospital facilities of the province. When hospital services are thus paid for, it is to le anticipated they will be demanded on the slightest pretext. High cost of hospitalization under the present set-up is, no doubt, keeping many people out of hospital who might otherwise be there. Under the new scheme there may be many situations when the fine points must be decided of where hospitalization is really necessary and where it is not. Otherwise hospitals may become so bulging with unessential cases as to not be uble to handle the really necessary ones.

The fallacy is that any large number of aggressively noisy people are wiser than one ig norant but patient man privately looking for trum.

No other President had been returned to office so many times. When, with tragic suddenness, he entered into i"est, the shock was severe, and the sorrow profound. In death, it happens to be different. This, of course, is election year, and politics across the line, just now, can be regarded as complex, of unusuai importance, with many significant angles and not without varying shades of bitterness. But it is an unhappy experience to read or hear certain references about a man who, having friends, also had enemies but who lived to serve so well. KEEPING HEALTHY IT MAY BE a matter of surprise to know just how much longer we can expect our lives to be in comparison with the life expectancy of previous gen-e rat ions', "'It is cheering to know that the average span of life has increased 18 years between 1912 and 194 1. This is due mainly to the great medical advances in such diseases as diphtheria, pneumonia, typhoid fever, to mention a few. Attention is now being directed to the value of the early recognition of diseases which are insidious in their onset. That is, they develop without the patient being aware of their presence until the process is well advanced. Two notable examples are cancer and tuberculosis. Both these diseases require early diagnosis if treatment is to be successful. A major part in the growing success in the battle against tuberculosis lies in the increasing routine use of chest x-rays for the detection of the start of the tuberculosis process in the lungs. A routine health examination is designed, among other things, to uncover the onset of such illnesses as these. The original examination should include an inquiry into the previous health record and health habits, a thorough physical examination, and a urinalysis, chest x-rays and blood examination where indicated. There is general agreement of the importance of yearly examinations for people over 40. In the case of the younger set in good health, a )eriodic examination every 2 or 3 years is considered ade quate. SK AGWA Y OLD AND NEW THE AVERAGE TOURIST voyaging north every summer is haunted by thoughts of the flays of 'it8 the lady known as Lou, Sam McOee and all the rest of the sprightly crew. This being the fiftieth anniversary of the rush, the mayor of Skagway, alive to the value of timely publicity, is planning the re-enactment of some of the colorful scenes out of which grew yarns and traditions glamorous and unforgettable, when the Klondike leckoned. It's an idea involving light expense, but giving, like enough, a vast kick to the boatload after boatload of ehechakos stepping ashore at the head of Lynn Canal. It would give a real thrill to arrive just in time to see Soapy Smith, the bad man, shot dead by Frank Reid and Reid himself drilied by lead. The tenderfeet would have something to talk about when they returned home. The duel of half a century ago happened handy to where the steamships now dock. Once, Skagway was all that extravagant report pictured it. But peace, perfect peace, has been prevailing for generations. Yet, in other ways, the general Retting remains unchanged. Ther: are the same old wild peaks and rocky slopes, the flat townsite with the Skagway River rippling seaward from far back among the hills, and Lake Dewey on a lofty mountain side. Chechakos might even get the feeling of the north as it used to be.
