There are beliefs among the Burinans, the Chinese, Siamese and Malays regarding the benefi- cial effects of drinking the blood of animals and birds.

Some people in Burma ta-kc the blood of monkeys to cure diseases of the heart. Tiger's flesh is sought after by the Chinese. Malays and Siamese, who believe that it tends to give vitality.

Canada's banks and Canada's instirance companies have given a good account of themselves. They have contributed in a large way to the building up of this young country. They have been criticized on many occasions, of course. but that. does not prove they are wrong. Tlie principal com- plaint against tlie Canadian bank- ing system ls that. it. ls too con- servative. The best answer to this is that during the long years of depression, when financial institu- tions fell by-the hundreds across the line, every Canadian bank re- mained tn business. met lt obliga- toins fully and carried on in a nor- mal way.

While the avol ance of meat ‘may be necessary when complications are present, it ls the starch foods as pointed out by Dr. A.A. Fletcher, Torontdand Ralph Pemberton.

Ap- . parently those afflicted with chronic rheumatism do not set rid 0f SUB" from the system as rapidly as those free of rheumatism.

Unfortunately,- as the eating of less starch foods brings some re- lief, many patients are apt to de- pend too much on this low starch diet. and not. use the other neces- sary parts of ‘the treatment - re- moval of any infection (teeth. ton- sils, largo uitestmei, application of heat in various forms. light ex- ercise and massage, and the reduc- tion of weight.

The following diet. low in starch foods, is recommended by Dr. Pemberton:

The Empire’s Defense

(Globe and Mail)

At. its convention in Edmonton last week the Co-operatlve Com- rnonwealth Federation again went on record with a demand for com- plete freedom of action for Can- ada in case of war. The resolutions specifically _ prohibited involvement. a confILct "whose purpose Ls really the defense of imperialist, in- terests,” and urged all steps to en- sure such independence be taken immediately. For the C.C F, the automatic first step is for Canada. to refuse to co-operiite with Britain on rearmament. or ln anv way which might leave the Dominion ln the position of being prcjudged an ally.
