Question concerning Health, addressed to the Canadian Medical Association, 181 College Street, Toronto, will be answered. Questions as to diagnosis and treatment will not he answered. "The Road to Health Is Paved with Good Prevention" Almost everybody thinks that the other man has the easier and bettor job. There is a general tendency to ascribe success to luck. In the same way many communities excuse their failure to secure health tor their constituents because of some local difficulties and, at the same time attribute the success of other communities to "just luck." It is true that every place has its own problems and difficulties. It 1b equally true that the healthy community has succeeded, not because of luck, but because its members did what was necessary to overcome their difficulties. Throughout Canada you will find a great variation as to health conditions I between places that may be fairly j compared with each other. There is, j of course, a reason for this. This ' reason Is not hard to And; it is a simple one. Where the best health work ! lias .been done, their health conditions I are best, and so on, down the scale I the health of the community corres- | ponds to the health work done by the : community. ! Every citizen should enquire as to | the health standing of his home town ] or community, find, out how it com- ! pares with others, ask these questions | of the local or provincial health de- | partments. Every citizen should | then ask himself whether or not he j and his fellow citizens are providing | the money and other support necessary to enable the health department to pave the health road of the com munlty with sound preventive mea sures so llhat the citizen may travel along in happiness, free trom the bumps of disease, the ruts of Ill-health the sudden unguarded crossings of epidemic and the unproteced precipices of preventable fatal illnesses. ■aaaa.aaaaaaaa.aa.

During a dispute one day in early spring, between two brew-masters, one from each of the towns in question, it was claimed by one that the Beer brewed by the other lacked strength. To settle the dispute, the following test was proposed: Each brew-master was to consume a gigantic tankard of the beer brewed by his opponent, after which he was to stand on one leg and thread a needle. The loser claimed that a goat that had butted in through the circle of men surrounding the opponents was responsible for his downfall. The winner laughingly replied: "It was the Bock (German word for goat) in the beer." From that time it became customary to brew a special dark beer called "BOCK BEER" and place ft on sale in the Spring of each year. BOCK BEER may be obtained on Saturday, April 7th, 1928, and thereafter until the limited supply is gone, from the Government Liquor Stores, in bottles, or on draught in any licensed place at the same price as regular beer. ' Bock Beer is the BREWERS' TREAT, an exceptional brew of high-grade Beer and aged (lagcred) for an unusually long period. It is a very wholesome and nutritious beverage, the highest achievement of the skilled Brew-master. Order early to make sure of a supply. Bock Beer, brewed by the Vancouver Breweries Limited, Westminster Brewery Limited, Rainier Brewing Company of Canada Limited, Silver Spring Breweries Limited, and Victoria- Phoenix Brewing Co.

Flora was ashore on Denman Island. At first It was thought that she had Just grounded on the sandsplt, but later It was learned the accident was more serious than first thought It appears the Flora had been coaling at Union Wharf, preparatory for her departure for Esquimau, and left the Wharf about 7:30 Thursday morning, a dense bank of fog arising Just as she left obscuring the Island. The Flora must have varied slightly ln her course after entering the fog bank, as it was about eight o'clock when she struck the bar extending out from Denman Island, known as "Village Reef." The bow of the cruiser was driven well up on the rocks, the accident happening so suddenly It was Impossible to close the stern port holes which were open at the time, thus allowing the water to rush into the after part of the ship sinking It to a considerable depth. The Flora Is ashore about twenty yards from where the S. S. William- ette went aground two years ago. Village Reef is one of the most dangerous reefs on the coast, there being deep water right to it with a strong current shorcwards, and as the Flora went on tt about full tide it will be a hard proposition to float her. Messages were immedltely sent to Victoria and Rear Admiral A. K. Blck- ford, C.M.G., commander in chief of the Pacific squadron, arrived on the scene Thursday evening, the steamer Joan making a special trip for that purpose. The work of unloading supplies, guns, coal, etc. from the Flora is progressing rapidly, the Flagship Grafton having arrived Thursday evening to render assistance. H..M.S. Flora, In command of Captain Casper J. Baker, belongs to the Pacific squadron and ts rated as a second class cruiser, carrying ten, guns and a complement of 318 men. The Pacific squadron now consists of H.M.S. Grafton, H.M.S. Amphion, at present nt Panama, and the Flora, Shearwater and Egerla.
