For Cancer

A fflloned and informed state- lent Ibout" the uscs of radium in le treatment of cancer hm been is- led by the British Radium Com- whlch should serve both to Illlirp the public and to temper warranted optimism. These are le ends, says the London Times. oi bich ‘the importance is obvious at moment‘ when statements for and rainst radium are being made with itle or no regard for ascertained alt. A body of evidence is available hioh convinces the Commission that Alum faffcrda more promise than ‘other treaianent." In certain re- cns of the body this element has itself capable of combating in a_ manner which leaveg no vubt ‘u... immediate efficacy. Thatyis a big step forward; but it l a step. To cure cancer is to i; entirely from the body so recurrence cannot take place. ‘o unsiamnlar with the uses of ldium claims that this can be ac- at present with any dc- [Ig of certainty. put apparent cures pvc achieved, and the number has increased as methods {employing radium have improved. Iirliheiiimnrovcment in method may vémay not; be followed by further noggin treatment. There is good no absolute assurance. _ greet in favour of rad- us}, itisbqiatsd out, is that its use leg notuilivglvc the risks and suf- ayypeiatoli with extensive op- circumstances. and ‘ g ycapect of remedy, patients far liners ready to consult ‘ 4 ' now than at any form-

The idea. says the ‘Ilcronto Mall and Empire. is nor, altogether new for a scheme of that sort is now in force in Sask- atchewan. That province has um- ed legislation to assist children of soldiers in the matter of higher edu- cation. It was found there that many such children who desired to take advantage of the high school course were unable to do so thrmllh lack of funds. The Government stepped in and are now awarding schoiarshlpsjp children of deserving soldiers. Mr. Hiuchliffe, during a recent visit to Saskatchewan, found the principle so admirable that he decided to adopt it. but apparently intends to carry it further. Educa- tion is one of the duties belonging to the provinces and in their regard for former soldiers and their dependent-B. as in industrial matters, it the pro- vinces which are setting the pace and not the Dominion Government.

New Guardian Serial

Not since Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad“ convulscd two continents has an American humorous travel story received such favorable press notice as Home: Gray's new book, “They Had to See Paris" which will be begun serially in The Guardian on Monday. The tale concerns the ad- ventures and misadventures of the family of one Pike Peters, an Okla- homa oil king. to whom comes the great urge to “see Paris." The trip is made in the grand manner. Mrs. Peters is determined to marry Opal, her daughter. to a title. and her first. step ls to enter the society in while titles flourished. Bbe engages a guide philosopher and friend to lead her along the unfamiliar paths: and the manner in which the ensuing adventures are related is worthy of Thackeray. Mr. Peters’ summing up of the trip will give the reader ‘as good an ‘ troductlou to the book as any amount of description. best thing about going to Paris." he remarks sagely. "is you don't have to stay with your relatives."

Editorial Notes

According to the London Econom- ist. thc world, this year is spending 34.300.000.000 for military establish- ments. If that fact alone does not help the coming five-power confer- ence on disarmament, then there is little hope for civilization.

The Mutual Welfare League of Auburn Prison, New York, where two outbreaks recently led to a dozen deaths, have given five reasons for discontent among the inmates. Per- haps this may lead to improvement in the management, but the best oi v conditions can hardly renlcve discon- tent altogether. Prisoners must be restricted for obvious reasons and in no circumstances can they be con- tented. The moat humane of jails is I a good place to avoid by anyone who valuesths boon of liberty.

Plumber‘: Combine extending from cohat to coast. Hon. Peter I-Ieenan, minutel- of labor, on charges being made that such a combine existed ‘ ytolaw ,,“’GordonC. Waldron, K. 0.. a commissioner to investigate them. , Commissioner Waldron‘s report has been made public. He finds that Louis M. Singer. K. C., of Toronto, andw. l". O'Connor. former ‘member cf' the Cut of Living Commission, more than a score of firms, which manufacture plumbing and heating supplies. transacting business from coast to coast. many jcbbers of the commodities of these firms and three score operators installing the plumb- ing and heating of 'I‘oronto. London Windsor and Fort William. are par- ti' to a ctnnblne within the terms o the Combines Investigation Act. In addition Commissioner Waidron reports General Organiser John W. Bruceof the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfittors. and John Hart. Windsor. Business Agent of thel union, as parties to the combine. and also a number of sheet metal operators in various cities who be- came members cf the Amalagamated Builders‘ a, ell.

_Whilo jcbbers and manufacturers are reported and face the possibility of criminal prosecution. Mr. Wald- ron states. "I; is only just to them to say that in tho formatoln and opera- tion of the combine they were pursu- ed and threatened by members of that body," and were even boycotted unless they adopted its sale policy. Many of them appear to have joined the combine through fear of being boycotted as others had been.

Official statlcsics in", the United States show that about one in 10.000 are in prison. Forty-three pcr cent of the federal prisoners were con- victed under the prohibition and narcotic acts._ It is of course appar- ent. says The Chicago Tribune, that if the federal Government and some oi the States are to continue their present doctrine of law and law en- foroement. the prisons will be al- together inadequate to take in the offenders who can be convicted.

j,It is quite probable that later in the history of the country. the pres- ent day will- be clearly perceived to be one of legal hysteria. which left reason behind and had as one con- sequence a most astonishing era. of crime and violerQe.

§Irish stew luncheon; are becoming fdshionablc in‘ London, ' says The Dally Telegraph. A friend who'had just come from a luncheon in Gros- venor‘ Square relates that it is a regular Friday function. No women are present except the wife of the hbst and guests to the number of about l5 are summoned by telephone. A" huge cauldron of Irish stew of ex- ccllent quality simmers before the fire. and each one takes a hot plate and helps oneself. Cheese ~is the ohly adjunct to the meal. But there is plenty of amusing talk. and I am 'ld that the party included a couple of novelists, a dramatist, an actor- manager and a famous general.

'The idea is a good one and many are copying it, says The Daily Tele- graph. Who will be flrst host to copy the Irish stew luncheon in Charlottetown. It. might be as popu- lar here as it is in the British metro- polis and it, would be something new in the way of a festal function.

10m- flne Christmas day in Char- lottetown was in strange contrast with that in some other capital cities. 1h London and England generally the day begins mildly enough. but speedily changed to a. roaring gale with rain and hail in torrents, that drove all vessels to seek shelter. In Washington a furious fire broke out in the White House offices 0n Christ- mu- eve. which interrupted President Hoover's dinner while he went to. watch the firemen fight the flames. Christmas day found the White house ice-coated and desolate.

=Ths latest word from Chicago about the holiday is that it was marked by a huge splurge of as- sorted crimo. Bandits, hold-up men ahd robbers celebrated the coming of Christmas day with the biggest one- day array of hold-ups and gun bat- tles in months. Bandits entered atone, restaurants and homu. Taxi- cib drivers. mo‘ r ‘ and pedestrians c614 one aftor another of being held up on the snowy streets. Twenty- ii: such crimes were marked up by the police in lea than l3 hours.

CHILDBEN AND COD LIVER OIL

You have seen tables of wflkhts and

its showing what a youns-

stel- ought to be at various months and years of age.

Now these weights and measure- ments have been accepted foryears and yet how nearly right are they?

As there are dlflerent types of indi- vldualsthere are also different W?" of youngsters and no table can natur- ally be exactly right. ’

In an effort to see what effect cer- tain foods would have on babies and how these eflects would ahow in rela- tlcn to weight and heisht. and weight and height tables, some western Phi!- sicians expo» nted with two 811M138 of infants.

Both groups received modified cow's milk, but one group received cod liver oil in addition.

Both groups were studied from the standpoint or‘ growth. as shown by in- crease in weigfllf, and in the 8.1110111“. of nitrogen. lime, and phosphorous re- tained by the body, and the waste thrown cut.

"The infants receiving the cod liver oil in addition to milk not only weigh- ed more at the same age than those

who were not receiving the cod liver ~

oil. but were considerably heavier than the accepted standards for their respective ages and their weights at birth."

Your first thought may be that this increase in v/eigh: was mostly fat, but the wastes in the urine showed that these heavier children had a better dfivelopment of muscle. ~

This increased physical develop- ment is attributed to the building power of cod liver oil with_the vita- mins it contains. '

These physicians are of the opinion that the accepted standards of height and weight of children are toolcw. and that the human race would be much stronger if wc started our ‘in- fants otf with body building diets. Where the measurements were below normal the addition of cod liver oil would be the ideal method of bring- ing them up to normal. ' '
