Lewis Moormdn, in ithe Ok- lahome Medical Association Journal calls the bacillus tuberculosis, subtle, evasive, paradoxical, intricate and complex.” He says that this micro­ scopical parasite is “A bug full of tricks.”, There was knowledge of tuberculo­ sis at least 2000 years before Christ. The clinical features of the, disease were known by Greek writers in the fifth century B.C., while in the sec­ ond century Aretaeus not only des- ■'cribed the clinical features but sug­ gested routine treatment. All down through the ages there are deferences to the problem in medical writings, the first post mortem report of mili­ tary tuberculosis being given ,by Man- get in 1700. The tuberculosis death rate reached its highest point in the middle of the 18th century. Auenbrugger, <the in­ ventor of percussion, described this means of diagnosis in 1761. Late in this century Whytt described tubercu­ losis moningitis and Pott tuberculous destruction of the spine. It was1 not until 1816 that Potit described laryn­ geal tuberculosis. Baillie and Stark, working in the post mortem room of the famous John Hunter, are said to have died of tuberculosis gained from wounds infedted in the morgue. In the 19th century there were not­ able advances: Laennec, the inventor of the stethoscope, drew up a minute history of 400 cases. A great scientif­ ic awakening came in the middle of the! 19th century. In 1865 Villomin discovered the specific nature of tub­ erculosis by means of inoculation. Gerlach in 1879 proved that milk from tuberculous cows, may convey the 'dis­ ease and in 1882 Koch discovered the “bug of' tricks.” Trudeau, Detitweiller and others became pioneers in sana­ torium care just before this time and in a short while Forlanini introduced pneumothorax treatment. The evolu­ tion of tuberculosis has traversed about 4000 years. It remains the greatest killer of men during the most useful period of his life, but discover­ ed early it is readily cured. TEETH IMPORTANT PART OF OUR SYSTEM Must Have Good Teeth to Have Healthy Nation Addressing the Public Health Con­ gress last year the minister of health said: “The teeth of this country are bad; you might almost say they are rotten.” On this .topic the president of the British Dental Association said “We have a school dental service but prevention should begin with the pregnant woman and young children and there is little or no provision for this. Why is dental caries so preva­ lent in civilized countries while it is absent in people living under primit­ ive conditions ?h His answer to this question is: “About the middle Of the 19th cen­ tury the stone grinders for wheat gave place to steel rollers which remove the whole of the germ and almost all the bran, giving a flour, deficient in protdin, fat, minerals (calcium, phos-,* phorus and iron), and vitamins A and B. This and the lessened consumption of milk and the decline of breast feed­ ing are the Causes of bad teeth. Time and again examples can be found of communities with excellent teeth so long as they lived Oil natural and un­ refined foods but Soon after the intro­ duction of highly milled white flour caries appeared/’ The foregoing is quite true but it does not completely cover the subject. The foundations of good teeth and bones are laid .down long before the birth of the child. Much improvement may be gained not only in the preven­ tion of rickets but also in teeth and bony growth if the mother in the last six months of her pregnancy is sys­ tematically fed cod-liver oil every day. Cod-liver oil acts like the ultra-violet rays of the sun, It prevents dissipa­ tion of the minerals calcium and phos­ phorus, sends the minerals, into the blood and hence to the bony struct­ ures. Now-a-days the wise practition­ er will insist that his childbearing pa­ tients take cod-hver oil as a routine measure in pregnancy. Early in the baby’s , life the use of cod-liver oil should be resumed and continued during the fall, winter and spring months. The use of milk (pas­ teurised of course) should be increas­ ed, a rational diet laid down and ex­ pert dental care provided not only for the school child but also for the younger ones at home. This prevent­ ive work, like all preventive health work, pays. Rotten teeth may be a- voided and with them many ills, such, for example, as' some forms of arth­ ritis, neuritis and indigestion. HATCHABILITY OF EGGS DISCOVER ___NEW TEST A new method of testing eggs for hatchability has been evolved. Re­ search workers at the Poultry Divis­ ion, Central Experimental Farm, Ot­ tawa, have found that the specific gra­ vity of new laid-eggs is a definite in­ dication of their hatchability. So they have worked out a simple method which can be used by poultrymen. It is described in a pamphlet “Specific Gravity—A New Method of Testing Eggs for Hatchability,” a copy -of which may be obtained by writing to -Publicity and Extension Division, Do-5 minion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. The test- is carried out by immers­ ing the 'hew laid eggs tin a salt solu­ tion of definite strength or density. The strength of the solution is deter­ mined by using a hydrometer—the on-, ly special equipment required other than an earthenware crock or enam­ elled dish with a tight cover. The re­ search Workers ’ found that the strength of the shell is the principal factor determining the specific grav­ ity of an egg. Those with thin, weak shells are of low specific gravity and poor hatchability. Those with strong shells show a high specific gravity and correspondingly higher hatching pow­ er. When the fresh eggs are immersed in the salt solution the strong shelled eggs sink to the bottom. The poor quality eggs float just under the sur­ face. So, by saving for hatching only the eggs which sink, a reasonably good hatch is assured, providing the eggs are fertile. The test will not de­ tect fertile from infertile eggs but It does indicate whether the embryo will die or survive during the incubation.

T67A GAJ4AD8AN NATIONAL gJlLLL1!- ................... hi............................ .................... ..............„„„ . ........................... packing plants during recent years. Figures compiled by the Market In­ formation Service, Dominion Depart­ ment of Agriculture, show that when the use of trucks for marketing live stock began to attain popularity ar­ ound 1932, about 22% of tiie cattle de­ livered to stock yards in that year came by truck, whereas in*1939, 45% arrived in the same manner. Thirty-seven per cent, of the total increase of calves; 24% of hogs and 29% of sheep and lambs travelled by truck in 1932, compared with 50, 63 and 41 per cent., respectively, in 1939. Live Stock Sold The value' of live stock sold on stock yards, shipped direct to packing­ plants and direct on export in Canada in 1939 was in the neighborhood of $138,000,000, an increase of over $18,- 000,000 from 1938, due to heavier marketings and increased prices. This, of course, does not take into account animals slaughtered on ithe farm for home use or purchases by local or small town butchers, but only, those reaching the larger markets and pack­ ing plants. . Benefits from Agreement One of the benefits derived from the Canada-United States Trade Ag­ reement may readily'be appreciated when a study is made of the export figures for cattle and calves during the past couple of years. In 1938 Canada shipped more than 80,000 beef cattle to U. S. markets. In 1939 this was increased to 178,000 head. Calf ex­ ports, likewise, showed a very sharp increase from 46,000 in 1938 to 80,000 in 1939. ■ Heavier Marketings Despite heavier marketings of cat* tie in Western Canada the movement of feeder cattle ip Eastern pastures and feedlots in 1939 fell below that of the previous year, This, undoubt­ edly, was due to the good crop On the Prairies ip. 1939 and a consequent plentiful supply of feed. The result is the Western farmer is. doing more feeding himself this season. Almost five months after they set out on a flight from Moisie on the St, Lawrence river to northwest Harbor, a Hudson’s Bay Co. post on Lake Melville, the bodies of three men were found March 1 near Hopedale on the barren Labrador coast. Pilot Joseph Fecteau, J. H. Davidson and J. C. Cote apparently had starved to death. They left a note written Nov. 20,1939.
