one "streptomysin," which, Dr. Fulton explains, has been discovered to be effective in arresting tuberculosis in animals. There are hopes express- ed in authoritative quarters that we are on the threshold of a cure for this disease in humans. Further in his article, Dr. Fulton describes the discoveries as to the composition of the blood which have been made during the pressure of the war years when blood plasma became so im- portant, and so well known to the millions who gave their blood at the clinics. In what the scien- tists call the "fractionation" of the blood, the resistance factor to measles was discovered and isolated,

This gave immunity from this disease to the fighting men. Albumin was similarily iso- lated ‘and shipped to the ends of the earth. Another of the gamma-globulins has proven highly effective in thi prevention of infec- tious jaundice. Still ancmcr globulin routed out of its hiding place, is the one responsible for the specific blood type in individuals, that is whether one is type O, A, B, or AB. They have some others fenced in also, as for instance some which are hormones and enzymes, and those which are conccmed with the transport of fat, and with the coagulation of the blood.

Dr, Fulton, however,, is especially pleased with the isolation from the blood of flbrlnogen and thromibin, which are responsible for the co- agulation of the blood. Mixed one way they produce a dry foam which arrests bleeding so effectively that it “seems to be the answer to the surgeons prayer." It is right there also 1n cases of hemophilia, “bleeders."

Aother material produced from these two is “fibrin film," which looks like s. sheet of latex. In cases of brain injury or operations it has been found to be most effective as a brain covering.

It is understood the Federal Government in- tends, in spite of some medical opposition, to put on the statute book their measure to pro- vide universal medical attendance for all Cana- dians at s. rate of $12 per family, which will in- clude medicines, hospitalization and maternity charges. This should tend to knock the bottom out of the $50 per capitafost of liquor sales.

Many tankers of a new improved type are now being built in British shipyards. They will be constructed on a model which will be in every way superior to that of pre-war oil tankers and provide far more amenities, in- cluding separate’ cabins for the crew. One of these tankers, of 17,000 tons, will be launched shortly. It has been fitted with a 13,000 h. p. turbo-electric engine, the highest power yet used for a single propellerfiiship. ‘

Twenty-eight lots of pure bred cattle of the Shorthorn, Hereford and Aberdeen Angus breeds were auctioned off at a total price of $9,260 here Friday afternoon at the first annual sale of beef cattle from Quebec herds. Young cows and heifers sold Friday afternoon were of correct type and character and the richest possible ancestry, providing excellent opportun- ity for herd replacement and for the foundation of strong new herds. Average price for the beef cattle sold was $330.71. Twenty-two of the 23 cattle sold were Shorthorns. A breakdown of prices shows $7.240 paid for Shorthorns, $890 for Herefords, $1,130 for Aberdeen Angus. Highest bid of the afternoon was for Tutira May Lancaster, I 1-2 year old roan shorthorn heifer owned by Mrs. T.C, Stuart of Arundel, which was bought by L. Hart.

PARLIAMENT BUILDING AT CIIARLOTTETOWIN

-"g( three o'clock on Tues- oeYlen the Lieutenant- (llr H. . Hiintle came down with lie usual state to the new Colonial Building for the pur- pose of opening the present Ses- slon of the Legislature.

"His Excellency left the Govern- ment House under a salute from the Royal Artillery stationed on Queen Square, arid was received on his arrival at the Colonial Bulld- lng by a Guard of Honour from the 14th Regiment under the com- mand of Captain Dwyer."

(Taken from "The Islander," Edttor John Inga, dated Friday, January 29th, 1841).

I believe that the above should settle the %ll€Sbl0fl as to when our Provincial ulldfng was opened.

RURAL MAIL COURIER!

Slr,-I noticed 1n your*columns the other day a letter about our rural mall couriers ln regard to salaries. ‘Ihey are certainly the forgotten men of our government. The system the government has used in regard to them would not be tolerated by any other depart,- ment of our public service.

Think of our railway employees; how long would they put up with the tender system 1n their depart- merit?

It has been thirty-five years or more sfnce the rural mall was started 1n Canada, and during all those years those employees have been on starvation wages, simply through the tender system, which should never have been kept 1n force after the start of rural delfv- ery, for ft hiss grown to be nothing more than a public scandal.

In other government departments how much more up-to-date is the system used than it was thirty-five years ago?

The tender system ml ht have been all right for deliver rig mall from post, office to post office, but when they expect house to house delivery it ls a different nutter. During the six years of war wha: was more important than our dally mall? Mothers waiting to hear from their sons, not knowing from day to day what might happen: and our rural mall ooiirlers did their work nobly and well to dellv- er those letters to the door.

Notes By The Way

The figures recently made public about the damage caused to English buildings by the bombs of the enemy emphasizes still further that. for England the war was a peo- ple's war. For of the 3,281,953 pro- perties damaged 1n England by the Luftwaffe, 92 per cent were places of dwelling. It. ls more than ever clear that the morale of the Eng- lfsh people was the target against which the forces of the Luftwaffe were hurled. No less is 1t clear that the victory of England was a peo- ple's victory. - Montreal Gazette.
