Do yon remember the time when you had a broken arm’ You

opinion and by private influence, accomplish some reforms,
time we worked with one arm bound, for we did not have votes,
privilege came to us at last, through the unceasing efforts, of very brave
and determined women—a freedom bought at a great price- With the
privilege of the franchise there has also come a great responsibility.
Whether we wished it or not, we now must hold it, not lightly, but as a
talent given into our hands by the Keeper of the Universe. It is the imple
ment which we may wield to shape a better world. Indifference has been
the shame of our day. It is a crime for which we are now paying a terrine
expiation—the lukewarmness that becomes a nausea to the Almighty,
The plebiscite is now up^n us. Let us with one accord prepare to do
our duty How we vote is our persdnal concern, but that we shall vote
is the concern of our country, since her future may hang on the result of
this ballot. *

Last week we told you something
of the need foi’ supplies of blood
to be used in times of great emer
gencies, such as the aftermath of
battles. Plasma, of which we spoke,
the first necessity, is the yellowish
fluid in the blood that' carries
red corpuscles. It supplies
bulk of the liquid on which

mediately after injury, it at once
eases the heart-strain, though it
may later have to be supplemented
by transfusions of whole

night, On the following morning
the clear serum is separated from
the red blood clot by means of a
centrifuge. The serum from -donors
of the four groups is mixed in a cer

is passed through a very fine filter
and transferred to bottles for the
final step in the process. In these
bottles the serum ist frozen solid in
a' mixture of dry ice and alcohol.
During the freezing the bottles are
rotated so that the frozen serum

to a very effective vacuum cabinet
called the Desivac. The vacuum is
