Lincoln Or Barnum’?

lt was Barnum. according to Mr. Bennett. who said: “You can fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time-J’. That was as far as lie proceeded with the quotation in the liouse the other day before Mr. Dunning interrupted tn say Lincoln, not Barnum. was author of the familiar phrases. "Mixing Barnum with Lincoln." said Mr. Dun- ning. "is terrible". But Mr. Bennett's memory scldoui slips a cog.

As a matter of fact, says the Ottawa Journal,

the best attthorities show some confusibn in thil matter. Bartlett's “Familiar Quotations" at- tributes the statement to Lincoln, says it was made to a caller at the White House and ap- pears in Alexander K. McClure's “Lincoln's Yarns and Stories," and quotes it as follows: “if you once forfeit the confidence of your fel- low citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all of the people all the time."

But Burton Stevenson's even larger “Home Book of Quotations" is not so certain of the source. It says the saying is attributed by Wil- liam P. Kellogg to a» speech made by Lincoln in Bloomington, Ill., on May 29. 1856, but also on the authority of one Spofford is credited to Barnum. .\nd it phrases the bit differently:

"You can fool some of the people all of the

time, and all of the people some of the time, but. you cannot fool all of the people all the time.”

So i1 itiuy ltzive been Lincoln, or it may have been litllillllll. 1t may have bccu used by Lin- cnln in a speech at Bloouiington, 0r casually to a \\hiic llouse caller. The wording may have been that 0f the llartlett book, or the Steven- son book. lint Mr. Bennett and Mr. Dutining will agree that in any event it was a remark of rare wisdutii.

A Ger- man textile concern in Thuringia has now, com- menced the manufzicture of this fabric, the prin- cipal ingredient of which is the casein of skim- med ntilk contained in Silesia. For the present ottly sitiall quantities 0f this textile are bciug inantifacttirerl in (icrmanv, and most of this is tisetl for making felt hats. x u a u A preliminary statement released by the Do- minion Bureau of statistics shows that there were 210.330 live births in Canada during 1937. giving an equivalent annual rate of 19.7 per 1,000 tiopulaiion. as compared with 220.371 births and a rate of 20.0 for 1036. The number of deaths occurring ditriitg the year was 113,510 compar- cd with 107,050 in i936, thc rate per 1,000 pop- ulation standing at 10.2 against 9.7. The na- tural increase in Canada's population during the _\'(‘.'ll‘ was 105,829 compared with 113,321 in 193,13, the ratc declining to 9.5 per thousand from 10.3. llcatlis tinder one year increased to 16,- ogr) from 1.1.574 and those under one month to 72:07 from 7.303.

Part of an agreenicitt which a customer entered into in sub- scribing for the service of one light company 0f the Nineties specified that the lamps must be tiirizcrl out promptly at 1o p.ni., and the custom- cr uas not to tiirn on his lights at all on Sun- day. For the privilege of hunting his two 16- cautllt-ptnver lamps until to o'clock at night, the citstonicr paid $3 a month. Mitltiplying the cost of operating the two ifi-canrllcpowcr lamps by the number 0f much stronger lamps used in the honte of today and adding the cost of operating stich commonplace conveniences as the electric refrigerator, radio, electric washing machine, iroucr and range. gives a good idea of how cheap electricity is compared with its cost fifty years ago. i I i i Almost 40,000 birds were banded in Canada during 1937, the highest number for any year since this work was tindertaken in Canada some fifteen years ago. Because birds are interna- tional, bird banrling mitst be international in its scope, and it is being conducted in full co-opcra- tion between the National Parks Bureau, De- partment of Mines and Resources, Ottawa, and the United States Bureau of Biological Survey, Washington, D.C. About three million birds have been banded in North America since 1920. ltird banding became a government activity in Canada in 1923, and since that time approxi- mately 300,000 birds have been banded in the Dominion and more than 25,000 useful "recov- cry” records respecting the migration, range, breeding and wintering grounds, and longevity of native wild birds have been obtained. Most of the bird banding in Canada is done by some two hundred voluntary bird-banding workers. Private citizens can cooperate by reporting any banded birds which come to their attention tn the Controller, National Parks Bureau, Ottawa, who h» share: of. the Qanasiiss twir- -;

Despite the stress and strain occasioned by unemployment and its attendant ills we in this couri- try have much to be thankful for. The truth of that. statement stands out in bold relief when we hear new Canadians tell about the self-denial people have to

practice in order to make a living in parts of Central Europe. One part3’ who has been 1n Canada. less than a decade told us the other day in the course of a con- versation that before she came to this country she hardly knew what butter tasted like. Seldom did her family have meat to eat: in her

native land. We also heard of a case where a new Canadian was amazed when she was given hos- pital attention. She said that. in the country where she crime from such treatment was reserved for the wcll-to-do.

Till-BI All OTHER SYMP- TOMS IN DIABETES BISIDES SUGAR 1N THE URINE

A: students we were taught that there were two kinda of diabetes. There was the true diabetes or mellltus, in which the patient had a. big appetite, great thirst, had w pass his urine very often, there was sugar in the urine, and he was losing weight rapidly; and dia- betes insipldus or false diabetes in which the patient had the great. thirst and desire to puss the urine but there was no sugar in the urine.

The patient with true diabetes (sugar in the urine) usually died ln o. year or two after the condi- tion was discovered although many were kept alive for a long time by special diets low in starch and sugar.

Diabetes is due to the fact that. a certain part of the pancreatic gland of the body is falling to do its work. and so a valuable food- stuff-sugarvis thrown away in the urine instead of being used in the body. Drs. Banting and Best. Toronto. using the pancrea- tic gland of animals found that: this acted as well as the patlent.‘s_ ovn extract, and so to-day just as long as the patient uses this ex- tract-insulln-he is kept alive and can go about his work as well as others.

Now that diabetes can be con- trolled. more interest fa being tak- en ln the disease and it has been found that there are many 1n- divlduals who only discovered that they had diabetes when being ex- amlned for insurance or receiving a general check-up from the fam- ily physician.

Dr. Reginald Fitz, Wade pro- fessor of medicine, Boston Uni- versity School of Medicine, in Hygeia says: “Patients with dia- betes still are encountered who first consult a doctor because of failure in vision due to a diabetic cataract: or because, following some minor accident such as stubblng a toe against a curbstone. or because of wearing a shoe too tight, tr blister develops which ends in diabetic gangrene: or be- cause apparently out -of a blue sky. a carbuncle develops and it is found that the patient has dia- betes." In other words, the onset; of diabetes may come quietly and without symptoms.
