For Tomorrow

A strange. involved and complex stateof affairs seems to cloak all activities -business, personal, so- cial and romantic - with a haze, unique and intriguing. The men- iillliy. feelings, emotions and de- sires seem to be under an urge for expression beyond the regula- tion or conventional. Queer adven- tures could occur under such stress, with a glamour and tendency to expression outside the normal. The ideals and dreams may be ro- mantic and guiieless. not "staged" for effect or sensationalism. De- spite queer incitcments, the denoue- menis may bring much elation and exaltation. perhaps renown.

Those whose birthday it is are assured of a year oi the unpre- dictable and sensational, with all phases of living under peculiar urges to be original. spectacular. sophisticated. inscrutable. An aura of the intriguing and sensa- tional dominates all the adven- tures and contacts of romantic living. albeit there is nothing of the sinister or debasing. Glitter and glamour may demand the glare of the spotlight. Workaday doings may react to the excep- tional impetus.

A child born on this day may have an outstanding career, creative but singular. with strange adventures, a yen for the glamor-

The fact that older men and women are usually not as strong as those who are younger does not necessarily mean that they develop new diseases just because they are old. it is true, however, that a new group oi specialists now keep very busy looking aftecailments occurring usually in elderly peo- ple and are called geriarriclans and gerentologisis.

One of the ailments that gets a real start at middle age. 45 to 60. is arteriosclerosis thardening oi the arteries). It is well developed or in an advanced stage in the elderly.

In Geriatrics. Minneapolis. Drs. E. J. Chcsrow, A. J. Gracobc and P. H. Wosikn state that the care of aged patients with advanced arteriosclerosis, who often are not only bedridden but mentally con- fused. is difficult. special diets, glucose, proteins and various vita- mins, as well as stimulants such as caffeine and ephedrine. have been tried with little success. One of the methods of giving shock treatment to mental cases is by the use of metrazol; the other methods are use oi insulin and by electric- ity. At the suggestion of Dr. Wise, mctrnzol was tried as it was thought that by stimulating the respiratory (breathing) centre. the drug would improve lung ventila- tion and circulation and so help to overcome anoxia (not enough oxygen in the blood). It was ex- pected to act as a general tonic by its restorative effect and by increasing transmission of nerve impulses.

Thirty-two patients with advanc- ed arteriosclerosis (hardening oi the arteries). many of whom had become mentally affected, were treated. Thclr ages ranged from 65 to 90. average '14. The average dose was one or two tablets (0.1 to 0.2 gm). four times a day but doses up to 3 or 4 tablets four times a day were used at times. Of the 32 patients. 28 showed at least some improvement. Fatigue and mental confusion were reduc- ed to the extent that these pati- ents were again able to enjoy life. while nursing care was much sim- pler. There were almost no side effects except nausea and vomiting in a few patients who received large doses.

"Metrazol seems an effective and safe analeptlc (restorative) of de- finite value in geriatric practice." the doctors write.

The lesson we can learn from this, aside ironl the help and hap- piness obtained by use oi metro- zol, is that elderly people do not necessarily have "special" dis- eases because they are old and that is why metrazol, used so success- fully in young individuals, army and clvililns to cure or prevent mental confusion. is also success- ful in the treatment oi the elderly.

ELl.Ell'S DIARY I; an Island lacuna Wife

"The Nth" comes with the dawn! . it is a'dsy to anticipate pleaaaliliiy -- and a day which re- turns fond memories to mind . . . items and scenes of past holidays.

ours laughed teuingly only recent- ly when we recalled something from the young years "is a certain sign of senility. Yes" she continued

"And that. Ellen." good friend of ;

Receives lisgm.

on the same merry note "when folks begin to live in the past, well. they may as well go out and sit in the sun-just fold their hands and be done with this worldl"

And yet at Alderlea, -while the present continues to thrust its sf- fairs rather busily upon us. some- times the volume of Memory un- clasps of itself, inviting us to read the pages now open. And so we turn these now. commencing near the first of the book, lingering on scenes oi the young years when our world. for the most part. was enclosed by the horizons about. But what lay beyond? What was back of those softly veiled summer slopes which swept up gently from shore to far hills? And what was back of that shimmering edge where met sky and sea? These things were only' good substance upon which a child could build dreams.

However. somewhere past these and into the path of the sunrise lay the Old Land of which ours was a daughter. Folks reached it after days of an ocean voyage . . . a delightful trip we could fancy - salt on one's lips, scent of brine in one's nostrils, clean wind over vast reaches of sea. And there past an old town that was London, in a castle in the midst oi a great park that was Windsor, dwelt the Queenuour Queen. who ruled over a great and mighty kingdom. True. her possessions were mostly strange places to us. touches oi red, wee and large on the school-map oi Empire, names to confuse ti.s sometimes in the FI'ldR.V'8 lteoizraphy match there But the Queen was no stranger to us . . . she was our own. Moth- er to her own children and a Na. iion as well. A good woman she must be; how else could she be so loved and respected? or why did the farm-wives about rejoice .-and sympathize with her when she celebrated the Diamond Jubilee of her reign? Lonely then and aged - a stern lady but kindly. and certainly very wise . . . thoughts often unexpresserl.

"Her own opinions." Sir Wilfred Laurier once said "were never known. though opinions she had, because she was a woman of strong intellect and we know she followed events with great eagerness. We can presume. indeed we know, that whenever a new policy was pre- sented to her by her Prime Minis- ter she discussed that policy with him. and sometimes approved or sometimes. perhaps. dissented. But whether she approved or disap- proved no one ever knew what her views were, and she left the praise or blame to those who were re- sponsible to the people.

That wise policy, upon the part of the Queen bore fruit early and in ever increasing abundance . . . The reward to the Queen was not only in the gratitude and affec- tion of her people but in the se- curity of her throne and dynasty." The memory oi this great and much loved Queen we honor on another Victoria Day which comes with the dawning . . . From "Golden Moments." by John of "me Lilacs." we quote:

"Rule on! Victoria's will that built an lknpire

so great! on which the sun has never set;

In faith, in trust, in God, the seeds were planted .

To grow to greater deeds and grandeur yet."
