The bane of seagoing, men since
the first canoe was launched, sea-
sickness, can be cured in three
out of four susceptible persons by
means of a secret capsule dis-
covered and now manufactured by
the Royal Canadian Navy. Intensive
research has been carried on in
the Montreal Neurological Institute
under Dr. Wilder Penfield, and by
the Royal Canadian Navy Medical
research unit under Surgeon-
Captain C. H. Best, R.C.N.V.R.,
which did ^ experimental work at
the Banting Institute, Toronto, and
field trials at sea, The new dis-
covery has vitally important
applications in the transport of in-
vasion and airborne troops as well
as naval personnel. Left above, as
part of the experiment, a Canadian
,sailor swings on a platform. The
contaiper comes in handy when he
begins to show symptoms of sea-
sickness in about half an hdur's
rocking. Right above is Surgeon-
Lieut.-Commander E. A. Sellers,
R.C.N.V.R., of Winnipeg, Man., who
was in immediate charge of re-
search at the- Banting Institute. He
is shown checking the capsule-
making with one of the research
assistants,

faeturers are to meet the farmers'
needs. About 500,000 tons of fertilizer
of the different kinds are ocpeeted to
be available in .Canada for the spring
of 2944, This is. .almost double
quantity used a few years ago, so it is
a question of avoiding pt'ak labour
loads in the fertilizer plants,
ing overloading of transportation facil-
'hies and relieving the storage shit-
No one can accurately estimate the
extent of the demand for fertilizer that
may develop this coining season, states,
G, S, Peart, Fertilizers Arrninistrator,
but thas•e best informed agree that it
will be the rheaviest in the history of
Canada and the supply may not be
sufficient. For this reason the farmer
who orders early and accepts delivery
early will be more sure of getting what
he wants and will have it on hand
when the time comes to use it. He
will also make a distinct contribution
to food production in making it pos-
sible for the fertilizer plants to get the
fertilizer out to best advantage of all
concerned:
DRILLER LOST HARD
EARNED SAVINGS
Had Money Hid in His Room Instead
of in the Bank
Ernest H. El sdon, driller in a Van-
couver shipyard, Caine off the night
shift recently to find his room burg-
larized and all his savings, $2,750,
stolen. "If 'I'd had the sense to, put
that cash in a bank, I wouldn't have
lost the $2,750 to a burglar", lie said..
"I'd been sawing that money to buy
a house and all I've got left after
months of work is a battered strong •
Mr, Elsdon
box. I made the mistake, you see, of
keeping that money by me instead of
putting it in the bank every pay day.
Now I've got to start at the beginning
again, but I'm going to stay at my
job as a driller unil I've got the money
to buy that house. No more foolish
risks for me. From now on I'm let-
ting the bank keep my cash safe. • It's
tough luck, when you're getting on in
years, to lose the very thing you've
been counting on, but what I want to
do is to let other people profit by my
loss. Don't take any chances-let the
bank take care of your money and.
then you'll have t safe and sure for
the things you want to buy when the
war's over."

I had to go up to the city laSt week.
it was one of those rush call in re-
gard to an estate I happen to be ex-
ecutor of and these lawyer fellows
seem to call meetings every so often
to help their conscience or something.
Anyhow I crawled out of bed before
morning, drove into- the village and
had the station agent flag the flyer.
Most of the people were still in their
berths so I sat in the smoker and
watched the day begin. It's a strange
sensation . . . . this business of speed-
ing along through the -grim, gray
'morning light while the sun eases up
gradually from behind the horizon.

into the cold morning air and now and
again against the outline of a barn the
lumps perched on the ridgdpole turn
out to be roosting turkeys. I guess
its's a natural failing of the turkey
family to want to roost where they're
not supposed to be.
A fall morning has always reminded
me somehow of the chilled steel look
of-new tools. It's cold and hard. The
coldness and hardness wears off how-
ever as th; sun comes up full and
strong and then you sec what
Jack Frost has been doing during the
night. Bright red and yellow-golden
splotches show up against the green
of the hardier trees as the world be-
gins to thaw out. You can't hear
them for the incessant "beedly-bum"
of the revolving train' wheels but out
on the countryside air there floats a
medley of sounds a dog bark-

Capital Items: A through air serv-
ice from Ottawa to Nassau, Bahama
Islands, via New York and Miami is
heralded to commence very soon by
Colonial Airlines, Inc., with trip total
flying time of 10 hours. . . Bureau-
laughs-the woman who wrote to the
Regional Offices of Prices Board ask-
ing what articles were going to be
rationed next 'so I can lay in a sup-
ply! . .. and the employee who phon-
ed Selective Service asking if he could
be "frozen" so the boss 'couldn't fire
him, , . According to the W.P.T.B.;
Santa's reindeers will float light as a
feather this Christmas because wood
and plastic toys will be available in
fair supply. • .. Metal and rubber tops
will be non compos mends-or is that
the word? „ . the accent will be, ow-
ing to shortage of labour by toymak-
ers, on pieces of this and that, so

ling.

Under direction of the Consumers
Branch, W.P,T.B., I am told, ward-
robes of children's made over clothing
are being sent to a total of 108 centres
in Canada. They offer a variety of
new ideas, even to makeover experts
like Canadian mothers, particularly in
re-claiming apparently useless mater-
ial and turning it into something
wearable. Emphasis is placed on
combinations of pretty colours, tailor-
ed smartness and on unusual ways of
turning the total losses in the ward-
robe into active garments. Included
in the kits are several styles of chil-
dren's underwear cut clown from dad-
dy's union suits. It's the first time
in our country's dressmaking history
that patterns have been available for
children's underwear,

More than 14,000 Canadians in the
Armed Forces serving in England
have married English girls, believe it
or not, according to a recent an-
nouncement. A lot of new moms will
have to learn to bake apple pies.
Again Agriculture Minister J. G.
Gardiner makes a special appeal that
all farmers, especially thole in. the
three prairie provinces (including
other livestock shippers), 'co-operate in
withholding from market, sows, un-
finished cattle and cows, and by
spreading deliveries of bacon hogs and
other classes- of livestock as evenly as
possible. Reason: peak in deliveries
in next two months, congestion in
stock yards and packing plants. Sows,
10% of all. Western' flog marketings,
take more time to slaughter and pro,
cess than regular hogs,

The machinery rationing officials
meeting in Regina, Sask., recently
were concerned about many farmers
selling still usable tractors in the.
hopes of .getting new ones. While
quotas have been increased there is
just enough to meet needs of essent-
iality. The nearest rationing officer
should be written to for a permit be-
fore any sale or deal or new purchase
is made. The sale of second-hand
machines at enhanced prices to secure
permits for new equipment is consid-
ered "an unfair practice", the Board
holds.

, Crops of main staples in Canada
are quite lower than 1942. Total•
wheat production estimated et 296,-
259,000 bushels, 50% lower than the
1942 yield, though larger than any
crop harvested from 1933 to 1937, and
produced on smallest acreage seeded
to wheat since 1918. Feed grain
lower, poorest in respect to -oats in
Ontario -and Quebec, Hay and clover
estimated 1,144,000 tons greater than
1942, though in some districts affected
by moisture. Potato crop estimated at
43,041,000 cwt., ravages in some dis-
tricts offset by increased yield in New
Brunswick. Sharp reduction in sugar
beets.

aircrew serving in' other war zones
will now be granted special leave to
Canada for completing tours of oper-
ations the same as if in the United
Kingdom. . . .• The first "Canadian,
Bible" is now rolling off presses in
Toronto; . since 1604 printing rights
have been strictly controlled, only
four other firms in the British Em-
pire having the authority to print
Bibles. . . . The National Film Board
has a hundred 'travelling theatres'
which go from village to village land
factory to factory at regular intervals.
The rural audience for them is now
350,000 a month, in the factories a
quarter of a million. Since 1940
Canada has launched more than 200
steel cargo ships, aside from warships
and other war craft, In a single con-
voy these 200 ships could carry the
following mixed cargo; enough food
to feed the entire population of Brit-
ain for one week, enough lumber to
build 18,000 four-room cottages, 400
bombers, and enough aluminum to
to build more than 12,500 fighter
planes, steel for 7 battleships, enough
bombs to drop 10 pounds on every
German subject and motorized equip-
ment to supply 200 infantry battalions.
Farmers are urged to make imme-
diate arrangements for fertilizers they
will need next spring and to accept
delivery during the winter months.
Owing to the present problems of
transportation, labour and storage, it
is necessary to keep the fertilizers
moving from the plants if the manu-
ing, a truck going over a wooden
bridge, roosters crowing, a tractor
coughing life into cold cylinders.
Going into the observation car I
found a few people sitting around. A
fat man in a blue suit with a cigar
was complaining about the fact that
sitipmer was almost ovhr. A thin,
lean-looking woman with a cigarette
was puffing and shaking with cold.
She thought the train company could
at least keep the cars warm. Some-
body else said . . . "I hate riding on
this milk train. It stops at all the
crossings for milk and eggs." Most
people laughed at his Wit. Conver
sation died down then and they pick-
ed up magazines and started looking
at pictures while the greatest
picture on earth passed by the wind
ows, unnoticed.
I shouldn't say it was unnoticed. A
