tbe whole world on sound econo- mic lines, and that it is for one nation, or rather one Empire, to take the lead and show the way. Let Great Britain assume the lead- ership. She was the pioneer in the great task of industrial and scien- tific progress which in two genera- tions turned a world of scarcity and want into a world of material abundance. but her now take up the second and nobler and more difficult task to lead the nations in the splendid enterprise of making that abundance the common birth- right of mankind.

Canada, Lady Eaton, of Toron- to, tells an interviewer in Winni- PQB. is doing foo much worrying

about the depression. "If worry could clear up present world con- ditions)’. Lady Eaton says, it

would have been accomplished in 1020." I have heard more about the disastrous condition of affairs throughout the world in my two weeks back in Canada than I heard in my entire stay in England.” We are convinced that Lady Eaton is entirely comet in her statement. Canada's position, relatively, is Pfvblbly as good as any nation in the world, perhaps much better than the most. Things are not what we would like to have them, of’ course, but when one starts making comparisons he finds that this country is not doing so badly after all. We should like to see a lot less gloomy talk about de- presslon.

everything should be done t5 try to find the cause.

The treatment during an attack; as mentioned above, is the injec- tion of 10 or l5 drops of adrenalin into the skin. Gold sponging with a rough towel is often helpful. Plac- ing the head under tho bed clothes sometimes prevents an at- tack.

In preventing attacks, we are fold, that regular exercise, and stimulating the skin by electricity or by heavy massage. are most helpful. Wherever possible a cold bath or sponging should be given as it stimulates the adrenal glands to produce more adrenalin in the system.

It is now generally ‘ ‘tted that certain foods by not being com- pletely digested form substances in the lower bowel that make the body more liable to nervous and chemical changes. It is felt that fats interfere with the proper dig- cation of these foods.

This means that in these par- ticular individual meat, eggs, cer- eals, or other proteid foods should be eaten without the use of much fat-cream, butter, fat meat,-dur- ing the same meal. Fat slows up. or has an upsetting influence on the digestion of food in the stom- sch.

The use of much starchy food particularly with fats, should be avoided if food is eaten just before going to bed.

That nasal obstruction is the main factor in some cases has been dbillited by many research men, but the evidence is again ac- cumulating to show thatthe clear- ing up of nose and throat condi- tions has cured many cases of as- thma. .

Other cases of asthma have been found to he due to various kinds of dust, and when the patient was YQYFlQlLBQl to another district he be- came free of asthmatic attacks. Th? Points to remember then are, first that adrenalin is still the best t. ‘ "during attacks, and second, every time an attack oc- curs the patient should write down lust what foods he has eaten that day and compare it with what he -

"The other evening, says an 0n- tario ex ‘ , in the Gouiais Bey two motor cars were travelling along the road, one perhaps a hun- dred yards ahead cf the other, when they came upon a group of seven or eight horses, including a very young colt, which was trotting along next to the traffic. The animals pulled over to one side and the mot- orists, who had slackened pace, JUOOGGGG to peas, but Just as the first car came up even with the horses, the colt, which was none too sure of its feet, stumbled and almost fell under the wheels.

In the matter of opera during a typical year, over 350 performances are given within the space of twelvg months. In mo, for instance. there were about 60 performances of Wagners works, over thirty 0f Mozart's, and a. like number of the operas of Verdi, Puccini and Rich- ard Strauss. Even composers like Beethoven and Handel were rep- resented in the operatic theatre. Among operas which would never be heard in America in a century were works by Ad°1Ph Adam. Au- ber, Gluck, Halevy, Weber and Wolf-Ferrari.

Every year during August, a special festival takes place at which practically the entire Wag- nerian repertory including the “Ni- belung Ring" is performed at the Prinzregenter Theatre ywhile at the smaller Residenz Theatre, the five principal operas of Mozart are played and replayed throughout the month.

Window In The’ Cow

(P. W. Luce in Vancouver Province)

Dr. L B. Clausen, a St. l5aul vet- erinarfan, plans to install a small glass window in the side of a cow so that he may wat what goes on inside the animal. e says it won't hurt the cow, and she'll get along as well as she does now.

Physically, perhaps, the cow will not sufler, even though she is hard- ly likely to approve of having her hide punctured and a window in- serted for the ediflcatlon of Dr. Claussn and his friends. It is the mental effect of this innovation that is fraught with dire possibil- ities.
