LEAGUE OF NATIONS UNION.

+ A reminder is hero given of the address to be delivered at the Dominion Farmers' Institute on Monday evening next, the 28th inst., by Dr., Norman 'White, of the Geneva Health Organisation, one of the most interesting of the departments of '.work in the Leagufe of Nations. There ,_ cannot* be two opinions as to the magni-,'.*-ficent work done by the League when ' Western Europe was threatened after the Great -.War by a terrible outbreak of typhus "in Russia and other parts of the East. If there were nothing ejse to justify the existence of the League, the salvation of mankind from that menacing scourge would by itself make all thinking men and women pay "a tribute' of gratitude to the man who with his colleagues worked out so. persistently the first idea of the League. The story of the desperate tight against disease that the Health Org-' nnisation of the. League has maintained lor the last eight years will be told 'on Monday by one \Tho\tobk ,A 6 mean share of the responsibility. Dr. White, who has been torn-ing New' Zealand' ' during the last three weeks, is leaving for Geneva on Tuesday next, so that this is the only opportunity for the people of Wellington to hear him. ■ The chair, on this occasion will be taken by one of the leading medical gentlemen of the city, Mr. R. Campbell ■Begg, surgeon, who has consented to do so at somewhat short notice and some per- i Bpnal inconvenience.. A collection will be ' taken up to defray expenses. '
