"Dental surgery is one profession that has gone ahead from the impetus of the war in leaps and bounds. .The marvels that the doctors bf dentistry performed were not entirely unknown be e e the war, but they were in the tI't'e\retical stage. There was no chance to put these theories into practice, ex- cept in widely isolated cases. The war proved that those theories were sound and practicable; it afforded then? a means of development. 'There is noth- ing impossible in dental surgery now. "I bane seen mon come into that hospital of ours with a bloody blur where their faces had been.

"Another' man came to us with the greater part of his face intact, but with no nose. It had been shot off completely, leaving his flesh flat from chin to forehead. We made him a nose to fit him. From the place where his nose had joined to his forehead there hung a little wisp of skin. This was pulled down, stretched every day, and kept dry and healthy by an anti- septic powder. Finally it grew to the correct length for a nose. Then we opened his wrist and grafted a piece of hone to the place where his nose should have been, binding arm and face together until the operation was completed. Then we adjusted the skin, which filled out with Healthy flesh, and there was a new nose!" Easy to Give Man New Face, A Iran whose face had been hang- ing down from below his eyes, Miss Hammond says, was a simple case. His face was sewn back in place. "I met hint on the street in Paris," she says, "just two days before I sailed, and his face looked just as usual, except for a light scar which ran along under his eyes and across his nose.

He questions tide patient as to- his symptoms; he uses the thermometer to gauge the Height of fever; he feels the pulse, makes a chemical and mic- roscopicalexamination of the secre- tions, examines the blood, takes an X-ray picture if necessary, and—es- pecially when he :auspects disease of the organs within the chest or the ab- domen --resorts to what he calls a physical examination, The informa- tion that he obtains by the means last mentioned is called the physical diag- nosis. There ar,L four measures that physi- cians use to arrive at a physical diag- nosis—inspection, palpation, percus- sion and ansoultation. Inspection is mere than its name im- plies, for it means nut only to look at the patient or any part of him, Brit al- so to look critically with an expert eye that sees much that is hidden from the casual observer. The physician looks not only at the part that he suspects is diseased but also at the face, in which he searches many valuable in- dications. A mere glance, for example, may lead him to suspect pneumonia, or peritonitis, a paralytic stroke, or an internal hemorrhage. Palpation often gives information of the greatest value. The physiciaf„ by using his hands, gains knowledge of the patient's temperature in general, or by observing a difference in tem- perature between two parts obtains clues that may lead to a clear diagnos- is in a difficult case. By laying his hand on the patient's chest he is able to locate the point at which the heart strikes the chest wall, and so to deter- mine when the organ is displaced either through increase. in size• or through being pressed to one or the other side by a tumor or some abnor- mal condition within the chest; he may also feel the 'movements of the abdomival organs or the vibrations in tho chest caused by adhesions of the lung to the chest wall, and so on. Percussion consists in tapping the wall of the • chest or the abdomen to determine by the sound the condition of density or rarefaction of the organ within. The principle is the same that the plumber uses when he taps Grandmother's Garden. A wonderful garden, I well recall, The garden I knew as a child; Where rosemary grew by the totter- ing wall Anti actor and hollyhock smiled.

Whence the origin of the word cannibal—the island in- habited by these anthropophagi being Porto Rico. Less than 150 years ago Spain still claimed ownership of the whole Paci- fic Ocean, declaring it a Spanish lake onthe strength of Baboa's discovery in 1513. Acting upon this idea the Spanish Government ordered the com- mandante of San Francisco to seize the Columbia, the first vessel that car- ried the United States flag around Cape Horn.

With laughing eyes they sailed away Over the eastern main, With a duty to do and a price to pay, Holding never a thought of gain; But there came a sound from the har- bor bar As from a soul in pain.

It is estimated that there are not fewer than 2,000,000 lepers in the world, 6,000 of whom have been con- verted to Christianity. Most of the leprosy of the world is in Asia and Africa, though it is found in South and Central America, South Russia, Greece, Turkey and Spain and on the shores of the Baltic. The dis- ease still lingers in Norway and Ice- land, and is not uncommon in Aus- tralia and Hawaii, where it was sup- posedly caeried by the Chinese. It was anciently prevalent in all the known world, and in the middle ages was ex- tensively diffused in Europe. Every considerable city on the continent had its leper house, and in England at one time there were ninety-five religious hospitals for people thus afflicted. In the fifteenth century, however, -it un- derwent a sudden and remarkable di- minution and has now -virtually disap- peared from civilized lands. Neither geography, climate, diet, heredity nor any other kuown in- fluence sufficiently explains the cause, the distribution or the behavior of this disease. There is no discovered certain cure for it and the cases of complete recovery, if there have been such, are rare. To most Canadians it is happily only a name made familiar by biblical mention or by reports of missionaries to far-off lands; and the estimate that there are 2,000,000 of these hopeless sufferers in the world comes to many people as a surprise.

People are al- ways giving you ways and means of keeping milk when it has gone sour, Yet• there are uses even for sour milk. In France milk is actually set aside to go' sour for lots of culinary uses, such as rolls, milk soups, and junkets; and for people who are dys- peptic sour milk is actually better than fresh! Of -course, it should be made palatable by salt or sugar, ac- cording to preference. It is quite good sprinkled with castor -sugar and cinna- mon. For anyone with poultry sour milk is a good thing. Hens just love it mixed with their food, and it has a splendid effect both on their health and their eggs. Then, as a polish for leather goods, sour milk cannot be beaten, and especially for patent leather boots. Get a chamois leather to rub with, and the result will be a joyful surprise. As afreckle-remover, a complexion - restorer, or €t sunburn-easer, it is in- waluable. Are your . hands chapped, your skin roughened. Apply sour milk to the spot and all will be well. You need not fear to overdo it. Apply the sour milk freely with a nice soft rag and allow it to stay on ten minutes, and then gently rub it off and in.

Tommy: "Yes, father, I did truly," A pause then, "And she said I could not have it." A Suggestion For Large Families, The ninth baby had just arrived in the grocer's home.

Naval Officer as eager A particularly interesting navalea- reer lies behind Commander Thomas Fisher, who has just taken up his new appointment in London as General Manager of the Atlantic gains of the Canadian Pacific Ocean Sorvices, Ltd. The very broadfield of valuable na- tional work in nav7tl; shipping and dip- lomatic oiroles during the war cover- ed by Commander Fieher specially fit him for the onerous duties of direct- ing one of the greatest passenger and mercantile fleets in the world. Ceminea ger ,Fisher was born In. Bir- mingham in 1883, and underwent his naval training at Dartmouth on the old wooden battleship "Britannia." He spent four years in China during the period of the Boxer Rebellion, and then having passed all his examina- tions with flying colors, jxe received very rapid promotion, and at the age of twenty was made a Lieutenant. He served for someryears in the Mediter- ranean on H.M.S. Bacchante, • flying the flag of the late Admiral Sir Bald- win Walker, Bart, and later on the same ship under Admiral Sir Henry Jackson, the late First Sea Lord. Af- ter having qualified as a gunnery spec- ialist Commander Fisher served for a short time on the staff of the Director of Target Practice. Later he joined H.M.S. Bellerophon as Gunnery Officer and when in 1912 Mr. Winston Churchill introduced staff training in- to the Navy Commander Fisher was one of the. first batch of officers to take the Staff course, ultimately being selected to remain on as a lecturer at the Naval College at Portsmouth. When war broke out he went to sea with Admiral Sir Alexander Bethel, the then president of the War College, as Flag Commander in the Reserve Fleet. He was associated here with the important work of safeguarding the passage of the Expeditionary Force to France, and was present et the landing of a small force of Royal Marines at Ostend in September, 1914. With the termination of this work in the winter of 1914 he joined the trade Division of the Naval War Staff at the Admiralty and was there in charge of that part of the organization set up to deal with questions relating to neutral shipping. These were the early days of the blockade and neutral steamers were doing their best to evade the Naval Patrols and carry supplies to Germany via neutral ports. Com- mander Fisher took a prominent part in devising and carrying out the sys- tem of supervising the movements and cargoes, etc., to neutral vessels by means of control over their supplies of bunker coal at ports at home and abroad. This system, when in full working order, materially lightened the arduous task of the cruisers em- ployed on blockade duty, because it was one of the conditions that all ships bound to or from countries ad- jacent to Germany should call volun- tarily for examination at a British port. Commander Fisher's services in this matter have recently been recognized by the award of a C.B.E. In 1916 he was employed as techni- cal representative in the various ne- gotiations for the use of neutral ship- ping by the Allies... This work was of vital importance to France and Italy and indirectly to this country also, in maintaining supplies during the most difficult part of the war. Incidentally, Commander Fisher gathered a valu- able knowledge of the shipping in- terests of Europe. During this period Commander Fish- er served on various Government Com- mittees dealing with commercial and shipping matters, including amongst others the Coal Exports Committee presided over by Sir Douglas Owen and the Board of Trade Committee for the 'Conservation of Coal, presided over by Sir William Marwood. It is not without interest that the latter Committee, on a motion by Command- er Fisher, supported by 'Sir Richard Redmayne, passed a resolution which ultimately led to the introduction of the Daylight Saving Bill by the then' 1 Home Secretary, Mr. Herbert Samuel. In the summer of 1917, soon after the United States came into the war, 1 la liaison officer was appointed to link 1 I the British Ministry of shipping with the American shipping board. Sir 1 I'Thomas hoyden was' first chosen for ! this important post and he was follow -1 ed by Commander Fisher, who filled this difficult and responsible position with marked success. In America Commander Fisher had an opportunity of examining at first hand the shipping and transport pro- blems of the States and Canada and in connection with his duties he visit- ed all the principal ports on the At- lantic seaboard, including the Cana- dian ports of Montreal, Quebec and Halifax. No Alligators. A naval officer, wishing to bathe in a Ceylon river, asked a native to show him a place where there were no alli- gators. The native took him to a pool close to the estuary. The oflicor enjoyed the dip. While drying himself ho asked his guide why there were never any alligators in that pool. "Because, sur," the Cingalese re- plied, "they plenty 'fraid of shark."

The sportsman went out for a day's rough shooting. Not being a particu- larly good shot, the bag was nil, and, as he did not like to return empty -1 handed, ho bought a hare in the town; on the way home. He presented it to ( his wife, who, after expressing her thanks, thoughtfully remarked: "It was a good thing you shot that hare when you did, John; it wouldn't have kept another day." It Was His Oki Complaint. Two weary tramps met after a lengthy separation and sat down to compare experiences. "Have yer been to the front?" asked one, "Ain't seen yer about lately."

"What's your name?" he asked. Then, when this information had been given, he added, "Are you married?" "I am not married," responded the man, with a smile. At this the child paused a moment, and, turning to his mother, said: "What else was it, mamma, you wanted me to ask him?" LISTEN' TO THIS! 0 8 SAYS CORNS LIFT RIGHT OUT NOW P �0-0 0 —. You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn, the soreness is relieved and soon the entire corn, root and all, lifts out with the fingers. It is a sticky ether compound which dries the moment it is applied and simply shrivels the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the surround - Ing tissue or skin. It is claimed that a quarter of an ounce of freezone will 1 cost very little at any of the drug , stores, but is sufficient to rid cane's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You are further warned that cutting at a corn is a suicidal habit. LEMONS MAKE SKIN WHITE, SOFT, CLEAR Make this beauty lotion for a few cents and see for yourself.
