The Govern -

Ottawa for the purpose of carrying on industrial research. This also is commend- able providcd the conduct of tho work and the proposed experiments are left. in the hands of. the Nation- al Research Council to which the work properly belongzs. Should the new laboratory be made a political machine for thepurpose of provid- ing Jobs for “deserving democrats" the only results that can be expect- cd will be jobs from which Canada. will receive no benefit.

The National Research Council is composed of real scientists who arc in it for sheer love of science. per- haps the most interesting work that. men and women can engage m. And thcre is a lunitlcss flcld open for them right here in Canada. The University of Saskatchewan has for some time been studying the wheat rust. problem in that and the neighboring provinces and their re_ search has already saved millions of dollars to the wheat growers. The discovery-of the ‘cause of and the moans of ontirly prcvontlng rustm grain would alone pay for all that tho Government could cxpcnd on research. It would mean many millions of dollars_ our llIlll0l'{tl deposits. known and unknown. ’l‘horo arc our salt do- posits with tlu-ir innncasliiitblc possibilities in lay-products which may bc many Limos morc valuable than I-hc dirt-ct prmtttct. ‘I'm-rt: arc our coal buds. tin: ultimatc contents of which urn yct Ln bc rovcalt-tl.

alone will solvc thcsc and other

norancc of the_ things around us will never be known. Gradually, however. our scientists are wading into thc ocean of the unknown and gathering pebbles of infinite value. This limitless ocean is practically all before them. In the last hun- dred years they have skirted only its edges. The next hundred years will uncover many things of vulug of [which nothing is known today. Whatever our Governments. fed- eral or provincial. expend on real scientific research. few will flnd fault with, and we may confidently look for profitable returns from the million or millions to be expended on the industrial research plant about to be erected in Ottawa.

The some is equally and painfully true of the premised c111 of a Minister to represent this pro- vince in tho Federal Cabinet. Coi- lectively in thcsc, as in other inat- ters. Prince Edward Island hasbcen and is being shabbi-ly treated. The fact that three out» of four of the representatives of this Province arc supporters of the Kirk Gdvetrnmeht makes the delays ‘and neglects .1 to which our people‘ fll?‘0€lh§ subject- ed more conspicuous and unaccount- able than it otherwise would be. But Premier King knows his Island supporters and no doubt rates them

of any in his camp.

It was in 1920 that thc 18th iAmendment to the Constitution of the United States, forbidding the "manufacture. sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors" was adopt- ed, and in thc same year, the 19th

to vote. Thus the enfranchiscment of women closely followed upon the dry addition to the Constitution. It was expected that the women would support constitutional prohibition by a. very large majority. It has since transpired that. many women, like their husbands and‘ brothors, are quite as much opposed/to pro. hibiticn as are their nearest role.- tives on thc masculine side of their households. "'I'ho men passed it." they say. “We had no voles when thc 10th Amendment wus 1ircparccl and put through."

The Christian Science Monitor is one of the abiest and influential journals supporting prohibition in thc United States. It bccznne coh- vinrcd that thc average Ann-ricun youth had not inst-n givcn thc cdu- CitllUlli-ll background rcqulrod for l respectful obst-rvaiico. of thc prohi- bition stotutvs. ‘Pins trnc. and a spccinl rffort is luring motto to cdutzato. thi-si- young por- sons to a. proper tindt-rstuiidiug of tho situation.

' By lame: W- Barfon. M.D. GIVING TIIE LUNGS AN AIII. BATH

One of thc suggestions in u rccont nrticlc on tuberculosis was thc giv- ing of the lungs nn"‘aix' bath."

By means of air baths thc lungs are bathed in air.

Now, as c. mutter of fact. your lungs arc always being bathed in air. because the lungs are always in ivuntnct with the air; thc lungs as I montionird once boforc. urc rcnlly outside your body proper.

If you could think for n moim-nt of thc lungs as n. largo paper bag which you have-blown up. and than pushed down tho throat into thc chest cavity. what was the outside of thc bag exposed to the nir tsnow thc lining of. or tho inside 0f‘, thc bag.

Similarly, thc inside or lining of tho lungs is thus really in contact with the outside air. or in other words is outside the body.

This lining has very small blood vessels all about it, so that between the outside fresh air and the blood. tho walls are so thin that gases can pass right through them. just as two different gases will pass through an animal membrane ‘in a jar. Blood after being all round the body is poor 1n oxygen and rich in car- bon dioxide. whereas fresh air is rich in oxygen and poor in carbon dioxide. Therefore. duo to dlffor- cncos in pressure an exchange is made through this lining. And, so in cases of tuberculosis whore tho healing of damaged US$1.10, and lgrowth of now tissue ls desired. the lusc of exorcise to increase tho flow iof air into the ohcst. is being advo- lcatod.

The exorcise makes the patient breathe deeper and more often. thus not only stimulating the lungs, but the heart and other organs also. The exercises are to be taken in thc open air when at all possible. ‘or otherwise in a well ventllatedroom.

The only exception 1s where tho patient hose temperature or where ‘there is danger from hemorrhage yor bleeding.

Now this is not rcully a new sug- gestion because if. wps discovered some yours ago that simply putting weight on a tuberculosis patient and getting his temperature to normal. was not sufficient to enable him to return to his home and occupation.

By thc use of exercise, starting at. fifteen minutes daily. and in- creasing up-to fivo hours. tho pati- ent was enabled to return to his work and remain at 1t.

However, using the expression “giving the lungs an air bath" helps you to remember that as your lungs are always getting an air bath. that the air in which they bathe should be pure. and have the
