Jikfely to follow such a condition of affairs, and it is not surprising to learn that the mortality from diseases of the heart and kidneys among the obese is twice as high as in persons of normal weight. "To. make matters worse, it is notori­ ous tliat such a diseased heart may give rise to very little in the way of symptoms, and nothing in the way of local physical signs, and yet, a® Dr. Williams emphasizes, the fat man may ‘ die the next time he hurries to catch a train. Obesity does not stop at pro­ ducing disturbances of the circulatory apparatus. The respiratory 'system may suffer, and it is well known that certain asthmatics may be greatly re­ lieved by cutting down their weight. Various troublesome forms of dyspep­ sia may result from overweight, while invasion of the liver increases such troubles, and the pancreas itself may suffer., leading probably to’ the form of diabetes associated with obesity. In­ tertrigo (inflammation where two skin- surfaces rub), varicose veins, hernia, and even deafness are some of the minor* disturbances for which obesity may be blamed, to say nothing of the increased gravity of acute diseases in the obese subject. "The cure of obesity is largely bound up with the problem of its- causation. Perhaps the most striking advance on the subject within recent times has been the proved complicity of the en- d'oerines (internal secretions) leading to the broad classification of obesity into that caused by alimentary surfeit, and that caused by underaction, of one or more endocrine glands-. The fa- , mous Daniel Lambert, ■who died at the age of forty weighing nearly fifty-three stone-, may safely be put into the latter category; but it is admitted that most of the' obesity commonly seen about middle age is due to overfeeding. ‘To the .scientist,’ wrote Vance Thompson, ‘■there is nothing so tragic on earth as the sight of a fat man eating a potato.’ This quotation from Dr. Williams’® hook may give perhaps the key-note to the solution of the problem. It is not generally realized that it is the starchy carbohydrate food® rather than the, more quickly and readily metabolized fats which are responsible for much of the alimentary type of obesity. "More rational diet will go a long way to preventing this troublesome complaint, and in its cure this notion must be firmly established in the mind- of the patient.” dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medi­ cine Co., Brookville, Ont. ----------,----------- Secrets of glass-making, including the making of a brilliant scarlet, non­ transparent glass, known to the old Egyptians and Chinese centuries ago and then lost, have recently been re­ discovered in England.

An optimist is a man who jumps every time he hears a cork pop. Quest and Conquest. A railway worker, a lover of wild plants,. recently told the writer how he walked thirty miles thrice for the purpose of finding a particular species1 of fern. He had heard of it growing in a certain district and-, being of rare occurrence in the neighborhood, he set out on the quest. Twice he returned empty-handed. On the third attem.pt he found his treasure. He had walked ninety miles for it and thought himself amply rewarded1. A great lover of wild birds and a skillful photographer of them ha.® for years given almost every hour of his leisure to that hobby. He has been out at as early as two or three o’clock in the morning to make his observa­ tions. Some of his photographs were the reward of almost endless patience. For birds do not pose for the photo­ grapher. If they know he is near he gets no photograph. He must needs hide himself. But how great the joy when after' long and patient seeking, he gets his pictures—birds on the nest, birds feed­ ing their young, sometimes even stand­ ing on their backs to feed them! A man must be prepared to put heart and strength into his quest. That is the spirit behind every discovery. All great discoveries have first of all been seekers', passionately keen and invincibly patient. Sir William Her- shail, for instance, famous among other things for his discovery of the planet Uranus, used to continue his observa­ tions of the sky -the night through. For some years he observed every sin­ gle hour, when the weather was dear, and his observations were all made in the open air. Midwinter or midsum­ mer he was there.. The'coldest nights were often the finest opportunity. His sister Caroline helped by writing down his observations as he made them. They were keen. So was Burbank— so is Edison, so was and is every one who does anything worth while in any sphere>. Discoveries are the- crown of patient and prolonged quests-. They that seek That is the royal way. Wilfrid Mansell Inspector balance work !n sad circumstances death of Mr. Mansell for he passed away while journeying to Chicago to take part fin an international First Aid competition held under the auspices of the American Red Cross Associa­ tion. The late Inspector Mansell’s first aid work dates back to 1905 when St. John Ambulance work was first introduced in Canada. At that time he was as­ sistant chief constable in the C.P.It. police force at Angus Works in Mont­ real, and realizing the great advantage of being able to render efficient first aid, began to study the work intensive­ ly. He was later appointed Fire Chief at Angus and police Inspector of the Investigation Department. His first aid promotions kept pace and after winning many awards was appointed instructor of St. John Ambulance work. Under his direction the Angus First Aid Teams have many times car­ ried off the honors. The First aid team of the C.P.R In­ vestigation Department, under In- specor Mansell’® instruction, won high honors at the recent American Red Cross Competition at Chicago; Mortality Among the Classes. Sir Arbuthnot Lane, in a review of Mr, Ellis Barker’s work on "Health” published in the English Spectator, speak® as- follows:— The author gives convincing proofs of the advantage of plain living on na­ tural food, combined with outdoor ex­ ercise. Farm worker® and) clergymen are the healthiest classes' of the com­ munity, doubtless because both lead simple lives, with much exercise in the open air. Butchers and merchant sea­ men are among the most short-lived people. The mortality among butch­ ers is twice as great/ while that of merchant seamen is three and one-half times as great as that of clergymen and agricultural laborers. Butchers and seamen live largely on meat, pre­ served meat, preserved vegtables and other stale food which is only eaten sparingly or not at all by th® clergy and rural workers; hence the high mortality of the sailors not with­ standing the bracing air of the sea. Many think cancer is an old-age dis­ ease. If there were a cancer age, can­ cer modtaflity would be higher among farm workers and clergymen, among whom longevity is greatest; but ac­ cording to Mr. Barker, the cancer mortality is twice as high among the short-lived butchers and' seamen. m good ted’ Packed in the best packet yet found for tea—Aluminum.
