“A diet is to be preferred which is sparing in fats of all kinds." This statement is not ex- tracted from a lecture to adiposed ladies in Am- erica who wish to achieve sylphlike figures. but from an article entitled “Principles for the Guid- ance of Food Consumption". issued by the (icr- man Institute for Business Research. With typical German thoroughness. it lists the articles of which (icrmans should eat less and those of which they may eat more. In the former class, besides fats of all kinds, including bacon, lard, butter and margarine, are beef, veal and — strangely enough-buckwheat. Potatoes and rabbit meat, together with sugar and jam and Limburger cheese, are, however, on the “per- mitted" list.

Rejuvenation is a fallacy and there is no sur- gical “fountain of youth," Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of “The journal of the American Medical Association,” told a service club in Toronto. “There is no way one can be rejuvenated after middle years.

Dy Inna W. Bum. lib. suouLn an. PULPLESS runru

BE REMOVED When an outstanding dentist such as Dr. Wlston Price. Cleve-

land. and the famous surgeon Dr. Chas. Mayo, both advise that “dead' teeth (svhere pulp which including the nerve la removed and the canal root filled) are always dangerous as sources of infection, most denti- lsLs and physicians are inclined to believe it.

Thus in trying to locate the_ cause of rheumatic pains in Joints and muscles, interference with vision, pains in the back and other body dlsturbancas, the first thought of the physician ls to have an Xray of the teeth. And this ls as it should be because in medicine as in other sciences the idea ls to look for the commonest cause of’ trouble first. And the commonest cause of pain and other disturbances is the teeth and tonsils.

It comes then as a surprise to find from research workers ln dentistry and medicine that “all" pulpless teeth are not sources of infection.

Dr. J. R. Blaney 1n the Journal of the Airiérlcan Dental Association

says. “The finding of a. pulpless tooth 1n the mouth of a. patient who complains of some disease of 1 his body is not pi-ima facle (positive 1 or self evident) evidence that. the tooth is causing the body symp- , toms." Even when the Xray and ' other evidence points to the posslb- l llity of an infection at the top of a. 1111101955 tooth, the dentist and phy- sician should together carefully, study the matter and not remove - the tooth until a very careful search has been made of every other possible sotu-ee of infection.

This may mean examination of 881‘. nose, throat, and sinuses, Xra_y' of gall bladder, function test of the liver, barium meal and Xray examination of small and large intestine and also of the appendix.

Naturally 1t seems a m11ch more simple matter to remove the “sus- l picious" tooth, but lf dentist and PhYSlCBII are 1n doubt and the patient anxious not to lose a tooth. all this searching for a focus or Starling Place of infection must be made.

The point then is that. while‘. pulpless teeth should always be | under suspicion in eases of body i disturbances there are many pulp- less teeth “that were treated and filled under strict. antiseptic con- ditions" that. have caused no disturbance of the body even after many years."

This then means that dentist and phy lean must; work as a “team”; 110l- allmvina a dead tooth to remain to cause rheumatism, heart disease mld Defllﬂlls death, nor. on the Othﬂr hand. to remove a tooth just because lt is dead. ,

PUBLIC FORUM

CANADA'S FOREIGN POLICY

Slr,—-I have been handed a new! clipping from a Nova Scott!» Mp6!‘ quoting m item from your pipe}: entitled "Canada's , Submission which apparently appeared within the last week in you: paper thovﬂh I do not know on what date. I wish to correct certain serious mis- takes o! fact ln this new: item.

1. In the first. place reference ls made to a book entitled "Canada. the Empire and the league" (Ilium Nelson and- Srms. Toronto), 111 l!" editing of which I recently assist- ed. It Ls declared that your news “item stated that ln this book I “proclaimed o. strongly ‘Nationalist’ policy for Canada".

I beg to state that, I put forward no such view, or indeed any per- sonai view on the proper policy for Canada, ln the part of the book which I wrote.

2. In the second place it. ls de- clared that I have been given the task by the Prime Minister of Can- ada "of preparing Canada's case and status for submission to the next Imperial Conference," and that: Mr. E. B. Rogers of Charlotte- town has been appointed by the government as my assistant.

I beg tostute that both these statements are entirely incorrect. I have not been assigned this task by the Prime Minister nor have I been approached by any one with refer- ence to such a task. Nor has Mr. Rogers been appointed by the gov- ernment. as my assistant. 1 may say that. Mr. Rogers and I are ergaged on a piece of research for thooan- adian Institute of International Af- fairs, but: this organization has no official connection whatsoever with the government of Canada. It l8 entirely a. private organization.

Would you kindly publish this letter ln, order to correct any mis- understanding that may have aris- en out, of thenews item referred to.

(The former ta) stated lnier alla: "We shall be asked again to save civilization, and every traditional and idealistic emotion 1n this people will be played upon effectively.

(J. V. McAree-m the Globe and Mall)

Because freedom of the prose is something of more importance t0 readers than to newspapers, and be- cause lt is guaranteed not to make newspaper publishing easier, but as one of the safeguards of democracy, we think the public generally wll be interested 1n a recent address by Arthur Hays Sulzbergei, President and Publisher of the New York Times. Censorship 1s obviously the antithesis. of freedom, although ln wartime newspapers wlllmgly sub- mlt to it on the ground of national safety. But, in peace time, ln the oplnlon of Mr. Sulzberger, it almost invariably defeats its own ends, and ought on principle to be resisted. There ls, of course, no press censor- ship in Great Britain. A paper can print whatever 11. chooses to print, and must take the consequences. That is not, only thelaw, ti. ls com- lIlOIlSEnuc. But the censorship to which objection 1s taken ls that which ls applied 1n advance of pub- lication. That. was strikingly lLua- trated ln the recent. case of Edward and 11m. Simpson. Though no Gov- ernment department was concerned, an oﬂlclnl request was made m the newspapers that. no mention of the case be made. It was so worded that ft might have come from the King himself though he, when he was asked l! he wished to make a re- quest, refused to do w.

The request came with double force because lt happened that the solicitors who acted for Mrs. 51mp- aon in her divorce case also hap- pened to be the solicitors of the Newspaper Proprietors’ Association. One la left. lb surmise whether the solicitors were not, chosen for Mrs. Bl because of their press con-

We have already expressed our disagreement with this theory, and offered the oplalon that the thing was doomed 1mm the outset, and that. a year's discussion could not. have altered what. was inevitable from the beginning. However, let us attend to Mr. SuLzberger who goes on to say that there are rare tlmesl

nod the scandal. Ha noted I100 that the their Times support; of Pnsldent Roose- Dtlbllc l veit In the int. election coat it eon- °°"1d M" W“ melted zrnduallr slderuble odvartlalnl: but nnmmny mind. this klnd of attempted censorship

when a. newspaper publisher feels it his public duty not to tell what he, knows. This was illustrated by his own paper and the failure of the Bank of United States a few years ago. He was told at, three o'clock ln j the morning by a member of the bankers’ committee which wrestled with the probiem all night, that. there was only one chance 1n a hiuidreds that the bank would open ‘ lts doors that, day. Nevertheless, believing that the hundred-to-one shot might. come oi! the Tunes de- cided that 1t would not by Publish- ing what it knew would deprive the bank's depositors on that single chance. But the bank did not. open and the Times was later reproached for not telling its readers all ft had known. Incidentally the ‘limes hurl a deposit with the Bank o! United States which lt. did not withdraw. That ll one striking illustration of a self-imposed censorship. An- other kind la imposed every day by every self-respecting newspaper. It concerns advertisements. Some years ago the Times was offered an advertisement of the ﬁnancial firm of Kudos and Burke. The latter had been treasurer of the United States, and was presumably o mm of strict problty. But. Kudos was suspected of running o bucket shop. Therefore the Times committee which decldlea such matters recom- mended thnt the advertisement be not , on the ground that the good reputation o!
