The Republic Of Books

Mark T wain otice remarked that his idea of a good library was one which did not include any of the works of Jane Austen. Consequently, says the New York Titties, the "model home library” brought tip to date this year by the Am- erican Booksellers Association, wouldn't wholly please the beloved humorist. ‘The first name he would come to on the list prepared for the Book Fair would be a novel by the pungent but gentle Jane entitled “Pride and Prejudice." Lesser mortals would also wonder why some authors were represented and others not.

'l‘|ie_list does illustrate what is coining to be the modern attitude toward books. The time ivas when “every educated man” had to read cer- tain books, whether he liked them or not. Not to have read them was as bad as showing up at a formal party in a black tie. We are more dc- tnocratic now. lVe recognize that some classics are dead and some are alive, and that most of them are dead for some people and alive for oth-

ers. The immortals are having a lot of competi- tion. If they are to keep tip with today’s output

they must “bump themselves.”

As cigar smokers, Canadians are a vanishing race. Last fiscal year they imported less tltilll four per cent. of the r913 total. And the popu- larity of the cigar shows no sign of returning. This state of affairs was aired before the Tariff Board when cigar importing firms, headed by William Goldstein and Co. of Toronto, pleaded for a drastic cut in all forms of taxation affect- ing cigars. They undertook that if their request was granted, to pass on the benefits of the tax reduction to the consumer. Only iii this way could the cigar industry be saved from extinc- tiori.

In 1914 Germany had not only A SECG-LDITIIDG which she had taken in war, but also sufficient lands abroad to ensure her dtgutty as an Imperial power. True, she had made so little use of her African colonies that only 22,000 of her peo- ple ever lived in them. But nobody wanted to take them away from her. Germany 10st them by invading France and starting a. war 1n which she was defeated. That loss was a very small price to pay for the woe lslie brought to the world.

LY

One of my patients brought a. friend to my office with o shoulder Injury caused during a street quarrel. I took htm to a nearby Xray specialist who first. used the fluoroseope which enabled tum to see the condition of the bones and then said.

"You were in the Air Force, you new iliot down in July, 19., from a height of 2000 feet, you were sent. to -—-HOS4p1t&l, and remained there tlll September, when you went to London and Dr. Arbuth- not Lane operated on you at- — Hospital."

The patient looked at me and satd, "Who is this man? That's all true but how does he know it? I never saw him before."

The Xruy specialLst remarked, "It’s all very simple. I could tell the date and the probable height from which he fell by the condi- tion of the bones. There is only one man in the world who does that. particular operation - Sir Arbuthnot Lane-and I happened to know that. he was away off on the Eastern front at. the time the injury occured and did not get back to London tlll the Autumn."

A; he recounted this 1t seemed simple enough and yet I'll admit that when he was telling it to the patient I was as much amazed as was the patient.

It ls this observing of the patient that counts for so much ln trying tn locate the cause of the patients symptoms; the expression on his face, the way he wahk: or sits down, the shape of his body, all tell the observant eye of the phy- slelan something which helps him in making his diagnosis-search- ing for the cause of the trouble.
