If so, the country, doubtless, would b6. glad to have the explanation. Certainly there has ’ to be something more substantial for a back- ground than a gesture of good-will in dealing with a nation whose economic policies are ser- vants of a political principle in direct and active conflict with Canadian ideals. Nor is it_ sufficient excuse that it is easy for any Government, will- ing to accept Soviet terms, to negotiate an agree- ment. There are many countries in the wide world with which it is possible to trade fairly, with mutual advantage and with constructive benefit all around. Unless Russia has undergone secret and remarkable changes, it is not one of them. So far as can be seen, it still directs its efforts and uses its trade relations for the up- building of sovictism and the destruction of all else.” Italian Habits Changed Sanctions have profoundly changed Italian habits because of the introduction of new hours of work, which now run from 9 o'clock in the morning to 4.30 in the afternoon, with an half hour interval for lunch. Gone is the Italian cus- tom of going home at 1 o'clock for a hearty meal, followed by a siesta of a couple of hours, and it is gone probably forever. The Italians have not yet understood the changes in their eating habits that should ac- company the changes in their working hours. They still eat virtually no breakfast, with the result that they are hungry at lunch time and consume large quantities of heavy’ food. They complain they do" not feel well when they have to go back to work immediately afterward, and one cannot wonder at it. The Italians also find that the evening hours formerly given over to late work in offices and now free hang heavily on their hands They re- tire to their homes early and at 6 or 7 o'clock the streets are almost deserted. This fact, coupled with the greatly reduced number of motor cars in circulationowing to the outrag- eous prices to which gasoline has been boosted by high government taxes, gives the streets an appearance of gloom. This effect is heightened now that munici- palities have decided to cut down on street light- ing to save electricity. By 8 or 9 o’clock in the evening Rome and other big cities are com- (h-tely deed. ~ Practical Education An interesting step has been taken by the Winnipeg Board of Trade which recently init- iated a series of weekly/half-hour “career talks" to first and second-year students of the Univer- sity of Manitoba. Included in the"series' are addresses on insurance, the grain trade, live- stock, farming, the lumbering industry, banking, finance, the industrial field, merchandising, wholesale and retail, and railway transportation. The objective, it is stated, “is t0 give the students a better idea of thescope of a par- ticular vocation, its opportunities, its rewards, its difficulties and the natural and acquired qualifications needed for success in that field. The lectures, in the opinion of the Finan- cial Times, should be exceedingly helpful to the young men in whose interests they are being given and should also be of benefit to business and industry. In recent years there has been a great tendency to employ university graduates in business and financial ofiicés where it is felt that the broad education they have receivd should be a good foundation 0n which t0 build their business careers. In some cases, however, both the young man and his employer have been disappointed through the former having failed to grasp the essentkil features necessary to prac- tical operation of a business as distinct from the purely theoretical.

Leaving the surgical wound open till it has been healed has been found by Dr. N. S. GAMBLE, Greenville, Mass, to be an eflective treatment for preventing death. Speaking before the Southern Medical As- sociation, Dr. GAMBLE said of 141 cases, 59 0f them serious, treated in thatmanner, only- one death resulted. It was brought out that of 349 consecutive cases of acute appendicitis perform- ed in a St. Louis hospital by the old method of closing the wound and draining it, 2o deaths re- sulted. The “open” procedure, Dr. GAMBLE ex- plained, was to drain ‘the cavity, pack the abdom- inal wound for 24 hours, then remove the pack- ing and leave the wound open without dressing under a. tent with a 4o-candlep0wer electric light bulb to heat it. iii ilf It is customary for anti-British propagan- dists in the news and on the air to lambaste Bri- tain for her stand on the sanctions. _This, of course, is quite unwarranted and undeserved. Britain has never stood alone. She refused point blank to oppose Italy in any shape or form ex- cept conjointly with the other members of the League of Nations. Had the League decided upon inaction Britain would have submitted also, but it would have been the end of the League and the beginning of anarchy on the continent. Discussing this at Edinburgh the other night Rt. Hon. Anrnonv EDEN, Member for League of Nations Affairs outlined Britain's policy at Gen- eva and praised the united stand of League members in imposing sanctions 0n Italy. “No single nation entered upon the road to sanctions with alacrity or complacency,” Mr. EDEN said "least of all ourselves. The duty was an unwel- come one to all and involves, moreover, the loss of trade—in some places a considerable loss-to participating countries. There is nothing the Gov- ernment would more eagerly welcome than a set- tlement of this dispute acceptable to the three parties—Italy, Abysgiéni; and the League." 9K Some of the principal increases which ac. counted for the large export in Octdber were as follows, the figures in brackets being those of a year ago: Wheat $25,474,000 ($18,096,- 000), wheat flour $2,009,000 ($1,929,000), butter $1,505,000 ($14,000), cattle $43,000 ($367,000), cheese $1,630,000 ($1,536,000), 55h $2,647,000 ($2,245,000), unmanufscturcd leather $375,000 ($329,000), raw wool $232,000 ($119,000).

Even when operatlon ls perform- ed symptoms sometimes return be- cause these lndlvlduals are of the nervous type, and the tendency to stomach ulcer ls, of course, always present. ‘ o The usual dlet and medical treat- ment has 1n mind glvtng the stom- nch walls as much rest as possible to enable the ulcer to heal. It is the movement of the stomach and the presence of so much hydrochloric ncld 1n the stomach juice that keeps the ulcer open or active. Some years ago the experiment was tried of pmtng a tube through the nose, then down the throat and letting 1t go through the stomach to the first part of the small intestine. Then liquid foods were poured down the tube which gave the patient nourishment with ‘ any movement or action by the stomach. The stom- ach thus got s. complete rest and the ulcer would heal. Unfortunately 1n some cases even wlth the tube down past the stom- ach, the walls of the stomach con- tlnued to move oi- churn lust the same as 1f food were 1n 1t. Accordingly lt was decided to let the tube g0 farther down than to the first part of the small intestine, and this extra distance away from the stomach was found to be sufllc- lent. to keep the atom “ from churning and thus rest for lts walla was obtained. Dr. W. Gllges, Berlin, 1n the Prac- titioner, London, reports eight. eases treated by this method tn which the symptoms not only cleared up, but the X ray showed that the little nlehe 1n the wall of the stomach made by the ulcer had completely disappeared. In a. series of eases reported by Dr. Schulz, Berlin, over a period of two years, ninety per cent of the niches dlsapepared definitely and the remalntng ten per cent became smaller; the condition of the pst- lent was greatly improved. The tube remained 1n place for at least four weeks. ' "this method of treatment should be especially tried ln 01d or chronic cases 1n which previous treatment has not been satisfactory.” somvar How many paltry, foolish, painted things That now 1n coaches trouble every street, Shall be forgotten, whom no poet s .
