A special word of congratulation is due to Lord Atholstan,

the public-spirited proprietor of the Montreal Star, who has offered a gift of £100,000 towards the crusade against tuberculosis which he hopes the Quebec Government will take up. He suggests that the pro- vincial Government should take measures similar _to those followed at Framingham, Massachusetts, where at the instance of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company a house-to-house canvass was made by thirty-four nurses and selected representatives, the information obtained being carefully tabulated and scrutinized. An intensive world health crusade is what we require in all countries.
