The Banting Research
Foundation.
The Beiating Research Foundation
has met with the approval of the citi-
zens of Toronto, both as expressed by
the grant froin the Council of the City
of Toronto of moo -a, and also by the
numerous subscriptions which have
been received from the teams now can-
vassing in the City of TM:MU). From
these sources a quarter of a million
dollars has already.; been raised and
the campaign has just begun at the
time that these lines are written. And
already substantial assistance has
been received from prominent citizens
in the United States. Why, in these
times of hard money, an idealistic
scheme of this kind should have re-
eeived so much financial support may
seem remarkable to many of our read-
ers. The alue, however, is to be found
In the spirit of altruism which has per-
vaded the scheme from the beginning
to the end. As is well known, Dr.
Ranting, when, on tlae verge of his
great discovery, had to struggle with
great financial difficulties, and at one
time it looked as though he would have
to migrate to the United States in or-
der to get the.sUPPort which was
necessary. Fortunately, this was'
avoided,. but that financial worry in-
spired him with the hope that at some
future date his discovery might be
used as a basis for raising a substan-
tial sum of money such as would pre-
vent any other young ardent spirit
with a great idea for the alleviation of
the ills 'of mankind from passing
through the same struggle. This idea
he has consistently advocated and
finally a. group of gentlemen were in-
spired to make the effort necessary to
aohieve the realization of this desire.
No Fund In Canada.
An investigator or a medical man
with an idea which seems feasible and
which is likely to produce results of
value in naedical science can, in the
United States or Great Britain, receive
assistance from various sources. In
Great Britain there is the national
Medical Research Connell, the scien-
tific funds of the Royal Society, and
of the British Medical Association. To
any of thee sources he may apply and
receive grants, larger or smaller a • the
case maybe, to enable him to carry
out his work if the grantors are satis-
fied that the idea is sound and the in-
vestigator has the other facilities
w'alch would make possible his suc-
cess. There is no such fund in Cana-
da. The universities are limited in
their funds. Each departmental bud-
get is drawn up a year in advance. It
is potentially spent for definite pur-
poses connected with teaching and the
research which is absolutely essential
for the development of teachers and

ada are splendidly equipped to do
research, an.d much -valuable work is CROSS -WOR PUZZLE
being- done from coast to coast. From
the work of Collip, in Alberta, to
Gibbs, in the far East, in every univer-
sity contributions are being made. And
all these workers are ready to co-oper-
ate and help others in as far as their
financial means will allow, bet those
means are very limited. Consequently,
the Banting Research Foundation,
which is national in its scope, will fill
a definite need. To it workers may
apply for the necessary financial as-
sistance to enable them to carry out
their ideas if a carefully chosen
scientific committee considers that
they are justified, and that results can
be achieved.
Half a Million Lives Saved.
That Canadians will have ideas has
been proved by the experiences of the
last few years. Beating's success has
inspired others to read. and to think
about some of our great medical prob-
lems and tentative essayehave been
made to solve the problems of per-
nicious anaemia, ana.esthesia, high
blood pressure, and cancer. Our Cana-
dian workers, -when they stray: across
the line, where the -large research in-
stitutes are keen to capture new and
promising ideas, make their mark, and
throughout the universities Of the .
United States there are many Cana-
dians holding prominent places and
doing much to advance scientific know-
ledge. The initial aim of the Foun-
dation, half a million dollars, is based
on the accumulated experience of thei
last few years in regard to the needs.'
The discovery of Insulin and, its elab-I
oration, cost in all some six or seven
thousand dollars, and the results
achieyed are incalculable.. Already
over half a million persons, we have
reason to believe, are now alive and
well, who otherwise would have passed
away.
It is strange to turn to a German
medical Journal to find Toronto men-
tioned not once but several times in
its advertising pages. Toronto was un-
known to the greater part of the Ger-
man world and to the continent of
Europe before the discovery of Insulin.
"Insulin. was discovered in a most un-
expected place, namely, Canada," ac-
cording to one of the most ,promittent
physicians in Germany. • Yet to -day it r
Is taken for granted, and. Insulin is• ,
mentioned as a Toronto discovery, and
the advertisement goes throughout the
world that the Insulin made by some
twenty different manufacturers in the
continent of Europe is made in accord-
ance with the requirements of the
Toronto Insulin Committee. No great -1
er advertisement has ever been given
to Canada, and no advertisement
which has done so much for humanity. !

The Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Dept. Of the Interior
says:— ,.
As tourists in autornobileS and- rail-
road trains go' speeding by and
through the farming district no doubt
in.any times our rural residents will'
wonder what benefit this traffic can
be to them:
Governments and municipalities are
encouraging visitors evert to `the extent
of appropriating... very considerable
sums of money for the purpose, and
our immense expenditures upon good
roads throughout the country are held
out as an inducement to motorists to
visit us.
That they bring trade to the city
cannot be, doubtedebut they also bring
trade to farmers and others. For in-
stance, there is the provisions that
they consume: It is probably possible
to 'compile a statement of what this'
consumption would be, using the ex-
perience of large ,caterers as a basis.
The quantity of farm products must
be enormous, however.
Last year there were 361,630 motor
cars entered at Canadian customs
poet's for thepurpoie of remaining in
the country for from two to thirty
days, 2,344 for from One to six months,
and 1,534,886 for one day only, If _Agra
these cars brought in an average of w
but two Persons each, and that the:
361,680 cars that remained in Canada
from two to thirty days, as an ex-
ample,- -averaged seven days, they
would require 15,188,460 meals. Think
of the quantities of cereals, ham and
bacon, eggs, milk and butter, meats
and poultry, fruits and vegetables,
etc., that would be required for these
meals. These wou/d all have to be ,
purchased from the farmers, *end
would make a -very large total revenue.
There is the further fact that a very
considerable portion of the expendi-
tures of tourists among urban busi-
ness people finds its way back to the
farm, in that this revenue is used by
them to purchase the necessaries for
themselves and their families.
It will be seen from the above thst
our, farming interests have a very
direct connection with the rapidly'

ance when needed, to make bur Visi-

Hearing With, Your Eyes!.
• You do not need your ears to enable
you to listen to an ordinary converse-.
tion. It does not matter which sense
conveys the :sound to the brain --
whether. it is that of hearing or of
sight.
People who hate been quite deaf for
many years need only careful study to
enable them to follow the softest voice.
• Quite recently, an ex -soldier who had
had both ear -drums ciestroaod in an
explosion met a commde he had not
seen for twelve years. They spent the
rest of the day togethr, and the sec-
ond man d4d not discover thht his
friend was deaf, so normally was the
conversation carried on.
Each sound, however mall, has its
oWn shape on the lips and in the
mouth. To show how enaily examples
may be distinguished, even theugh.
they are similar in sound, try for yam*
self the, words "horse" and "house,"
speaking them in a aornial voice, wane
facing a lookingiglass. The shape of
'the lips is quite differeat for the two
words. ' —
Lip-reading is not like' learning a
new language; it is merely the develop.
ment of a latent sense. But it is
tensely useful In that it removes that
uneornfortable feeliii`g aVikwardness
from both speaker and listener, arel In
timeeens.ble,s the deaf person to elimin.
ate almost entirely the disadvantages
of his handicap. Alse, it increases, the

As tourists in autornobileS and- rail-
road trains go' speeding by and
through the farming district no doubt
in.any times our rural residents will'
wonder what benefit this traffic can
be to them:
Governments and municipalities are
encouraging visitors evert to `the extent
of appropriating... very considerable
sums of money for the purpose, and
our immense expenditures upon good
roads throughout the country are held
out as an inducement to motorists to
visit us.
That they bring trade to the city
cannot be, doubtedebut they also bring
trade to farmers and others. For in-
stance, there is the provisions that
they consume: It is probably possible
to 'compile a statement of what this'
consumption would be, using the ex-
perience of large ,caterers as a basis.
The quantity of farm products must
be enormous, however.
Last year there were 361,630 motor
cars entered at Canadian customs
poet's for thepurpoie of remaining in
the country for from two to thirty
days, 2,344 for from One to six months,
and 1,534,886 for one day only, If _Agra
these cars brought in an average of w
but two Persons each, and that the:
361,680 cars that remained in Canada
from two to thirty days, as an ex-
ample,- -averaged seven days, they
would require 15,188,460 meals. Think
of the quantities of cereals, ham and
bacon, eggs, milk and butter, meats
and poultry, fruits and vegetables,
etc., that would be required for these
meals. These wou/d all have to be ,
purchased from the farmers, *end
would make a -very large total revenue.
There is the further fact that a very
considerable portion of the expendi-
tures of tourists among urban busi-
ness people finds its way back to the
farm, in that this revenue is used by
them to purchase the necessaries for
themselves and their families.
It will be seen from the above thst
our, farming interests have a very
direct connection with the rapidly'
towing totrist trefic, thid shOuledo
what they can, by courtesy and assist-
ance when needed, to make bur Visi-
tors feel that they are we:come.
Hearing With, Your Eyes!.
• You do not need your ears to enable
you to listen to an ordinary converse-.
tion. It does not matter which sense
conveys the :sound to the brain --
whether. it is that of hearing or of
sight.
People who hate been quite deaf for
many years need only careful study to
enable them to follow the softest voice.
• Quite recently, an ex -soldier who had
had both ear -drums ciestroaod in an
explosion met a commde he had not
seen for twelve years. They spent the
rest of the day togethr, and the sec-
ond man d4d not discover thht his
friend was deaf, so normally was the
conversation carried on.
Each sound, however mall, has its
oWn shape on the lips and in the
mouth. To show how enaily examples
may be distinguished, even theugh.
they are similar in sound, try for yam*
self the, words "horse" and "house,"
speaking them in a aornial voice, wane
facing a lookingiglass. The shape of
'the lips is quite differeat for the two
words. ' —
Lip-reading is not like' learning a
new language; it is merely the develop.
ment of a latent sense. But it is
tensely useful In that it removes that
uneornfortable feeliii`g aVikwardness
from both speaker and listener, arel In
timeeens.ble,s the deaf person to elimin.
ate almost entirely the disadvantages
of his handicap. Alse, it increases, the
faculty Of concentration and quickens
to,such an extent that often it Makes •
the deaf man as alert as a hum with all
unimpaired setae of bearitg.
