How danger-nu. it in for In American publisher to issue an English book without careful

proofreading —or vice versa. We are thinking of the novel by a dis- tlnguishlna Erixlish writer, about to be issued here. which containsa. telegram (intended to be tragic) sent. from London to the hero in South America. It slays, “F‘atl'ier passed out. Come home at once." ——Revlew of Literature.

The City council may be doing a stroke of good business by giv- ing its stamp of approval to the plan whereby a local reliefee and his family are to be placed on is small farm with the proviso that. the city wouldn't: in the end be obligated to buy it.

DI/STUBBANCIS MAY CAUSE PEPTIC ULCEB

EMOTIONAL

For many years it. was believed that ulcer of the stomach (gastric) and ulcer of the duodenum (duodenal), were due to infected teeth and tonsils. Most physicians still believe that infection is A big factor in causing stomach and in- testinal (peptic ulcer) in that: in- fection affects the lining wall and it lose its power of warding off the ulcer.

However it is becoming more and more apparent that the pers- onality of the individual and his physique or build are more im- portant factors in causing peptic ulcers. Thus. as mentioned before, there is the answer of the surgeon to the patients question:

"Now you have operated, I'll have no more trouble with zoom- ach ulcer, will I?"

The surgeon's reply was: "You will not likely have any more trouble with that ulcer but you may continue to grow more ulcer; if you do not learn to keep calm and free from excitement and emo- tional disturbances.”

As many Physicians and surgeons have been stating that infection and other conditions are mostly responsible for peptic ulcers, Drs. E J. Callahan and D. W. Ing- liam, Saraioga Springs, N_Y _ in American Journal of Digestive Diseases state:

“Despite the criticism against the nervous nad emotional cause of peptic ulcer, lt is yet the most constant factor in causing the con- dltion The food habits of a pat- ient with ulcer must be carefully studied, as a well arranged non- irritating. low residue diet (not: much roughage or cellulose as found in bulky foods such as cab- bage) is the foundation on which treatment is built. While heredity is not directly blamed, there is nevertheless an inherited person- ality and body build which ac-

company peptic ulcer."

To help their patients to under- stand the cause of peptic ulcer. these physicians show an equal sided triangle, one side represent.- lng the heredltv factory which, of course. the patient can't; correct, one side showing nervousness, ill- ness in the family, financial or other worries as a cause. and the third side showing rough or un- suitable foods as another factor in causing the ulcer.

The thought then is that if Dep- tlc ulcer is present or there is I. tendency to u‘cer. treatment means the removal of any infec- tion present, acquiring calmness of spirit. and the eating of non- irritating foods.

power are very few. it calls for a. distinct effort of the ma.gina- tion no picture ourselves living

So long as the earth endures, man will have no occasion to sit down and weep because there are no new worlds to conquer. No boundaries can be set. to the onward march of science. Astounding as has been the supremacy in the field of scientific discovery the future holds achievements that will prove still more amazing. Belfast Telegraph.

Al to the “nation-wide drive on crime" which a Government. at.- tomey heralds lti New York after ii coiisulmtloii with G-Men Hoov- er, a conception of the war on crime as something fitful and sporad.ic—whet.her the crimes are those of the loosely-linked under- worlds of the cities which come to Federal notice, or traffic violations which are the subject. of periodical local drives—leaves much to be desired. The assumption must. be that the law has, until then, nor. been enforced. An effective war on crime is steady and unremitting. Indeed. in this lies its chief potentiality as a deterrent of crime; that the underworld comes to know that there is no time when the “heat is off." — Detroit News.

The call for volunteers prepared to offer themselves for blood trans- fusion in the event. of an emerg- ency has received a poor respome. This is partly due no a. quite mis- taken idea on the part. of the pub- lie that there is something painful or dangerous about blood trans- fusion Md Dartly to the fact. that the need for blood transfusion volunteers has not. so far been publicized with sufficient vigor and lmfiklnation. we would suggest that a short news real should be prepared and shown in all cine- mas to give the public convincing evidence of how little blood tram- fuaion really means in the way of personal inconvenience and how much in the way of saving life. -—The News-Chronicle.

(Toronto Globe and Mail.) The increase in commodity prices since the outbreak of war provides abundant; evidence that the Prices and Trade Boarrd announced by the Dominion Government early this week was not. appointed before it was needed. Since Monday mom- lng butter has advanced one cent per pound every day. the limit. per- mitted by the Commidity Exchange as a war measure. Flour has gone up 75 to 80 cents per barrel fol- lowing the advance of 30 cents per bushel in wheat in the last. thirty days. Brian and shorts have jumped 33 to $4 per ton. There has not. been much Oll)I‘.'l'l‘g‘l3 in the general lines of groceries. but. care- als sold in the retail stores have been affected by the flurry in flour. Big distributors in Toronto have been unable fcr two days to buy potatoes at country points be- cause the farme:s won't. sell. Sugar is being railoried because the refiners are hcvldlng stocks until the situation is clarified. The amazing thing about it all is that there is a surplus of all kinds of foodstuffs in the country. but priniary producers and manufac- turers are sitting tight. for the present, awaiting zwtdon 3y Ot- tower. with production and distribution temporarily disor~ganized—flour mil‘s are not quoting stable prices because they cannot buy wheat. and manufacturers of cereal pro- ducts are laampezecl because they cannot oover—‘it, appears not un-
