After a long, unsuccessful try
on the part of the spectacular
Shute brothers ' of London, Ont.,
to convince the medical profession
of the merits of Vitamin E in the
treatment of heart disease, they
have at last presented their case
in the form of a book called
"Alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E) in
Cardiovascular Disease".
This new Ryerson book with the
rather cumbersome 'title may not
impress the editors of the British
medical journal, "Lancet", nor the
official publication of the Canad-
ian and American medical as-
sociations. They have permitted
the Shutes an opportunity—but a
limited one—to prove their claims;
but these were not convincing.
However, since heart disease is a
real killer these days, any layman'

who comes into possession of this pied, Harry Feagan, Wingham,
pleaded not guilty and heard the
Iwiwell -illustrated .documentary charge dismissed by Ma
w]il be indurteri to try Vftam; giStrate D
n E E. Holmes, at Goderich. The of-
ease was alleged to have taken
place in Clinton on June 17.
Councel for the accused, Frank
Donnelly, arguedthat the statutes
were conflicting as to whether a
farm tractor was a motor vehicle.
Magistrate Holmes, however, rul-
ed he would consider the tractor
a motor vehicle.
The collisionrwith a tor was
drivenin
by
Douglas Heal, RCAF Station
Clinton. Heal said that he thou-
ght the tractor was stopped as he
approached it, but as he
got alongside, it pulled out -and
struck the rear fender of his car.
Chief Constable J. Ferran, who
investigated, said he could smeII
beer on the accused's breath.
Feagan claimed he was driving
the tractor for a friend. He said
an oil can fell off the vehicle so
he pulled to the side of the road,
He said he did not see the Heal
car approach.

if he has found digitalis and other

heart ailment.
Dr. Evan Shute is one of Can-
ada's most brilliant obstetricians,
but he is often regarded as an
eccentric, and not only because he
writes poetry and understands
Sophocles. Back in the early post-
war years a triumvirate of Lon-
don doctors—Evan Shute, Wilfrid
Shute, the co-author of the book,
and. Arthur Vogelsang—discovered:
a wheat germ product which was
identified as a tocopherol and giv-
en the name of Vitamin E. The
doctors almost at once began to
commercialize the substance, un-
wisely recommending it for a num-
ber of ail
men s, including diabet-
es, for which the only recognized
therapy is insulin.
If their methods at this time
were not unethical they could cer-
tainly be considered dangerous,
and that was the attitude of or-
ganized medicine. It was natural
for the Shutes• and Vogelsang to
charge the profession with jeal-
ousy, and perhaps under the cir-
cumstances they might have been
excused for likening, themselves to
Pastetir and Sister Kenny, and
the other martyrs of medicine.
Other doctors generally ignored
the claims for VitaminE,.thougb
some • of them administered it if
the patient wished. Vitamin E
was, as far as they were concern-
ed, unwarranted. But the Shutes
(Dr. Vogelsang seems to have dis-
appeared from the group) refuse
to admit that their evidence is
inconclusive, and the Shute Foun-
dation (with many prominent pat-
rons) does a thriving business in
pills and tonics bolstered with the
disputed vitamin.
-It is not to be expected that
the Shutes could cite their fail-
ures in their book; but from their
successes—and some are hardly
disputable—there is good reason
—at least from the layman's point
of view—to believe that there
may be something in` Vitamin E.
At any rate the situation, surely
recommends that experiments
should be continued — assuming
that they are now in progress at
the Shute Foundation. And while
Evan Shute, particularly, may
. have adopted a persecution com-
plex"over the years, it is unfair
to anyone to condemn the drug
until he has read the book which
the Shutes have written and seen
in it their side of the story.

of 1954. Among those chosen as

man who kills crocodiles in Africa
for ladies' handbags. " •

When the Duke of Wellington
was 65—by that time an ex -prime
minister and a healthy though
lonely widower—he struck up an
acquaintance of sorts with .a
beautiful, though eccentric,' young
lady of means ' who had : been in
some measure responsible for the
religious conversion of a man con-
demned to hang. Desiring to turn
this strange power to further
triumph, she settled her attentions
rather heavily on the Iron Duke.,
Miss Jenkins — as this was her
name—wrote him first on January
15, 1834. It was a spiritual -epistle
which had the suggestion that
she might be able to save his soul,
since Napoleon had been unable.
to destroy his body.
Wellington • had long abided by
a ;rule Which required him alveays
to answer his letters, and so he
did this* one from Miss Jenkins.
This was followed by an unusual,
and most times unwanted, corres-
pondence which lasted until 1851,
just before the great man died.
As often as 12 times a month he
replied to her letters mostly be-
cause he would not deviate from.
his rule. He implored her to cease
writing, but when she -countered
with an admonishment and sug-
gested that his soul was "in the
power of Satan" he was dutifully
bound to write again. When the
correspondence ceased, Miss Jen-
kins, presumably—was permitted'
to return to the duties which this
idle Victorian beauty had assigned
herself — the \ task of repeating
from memory 360 favorite hymns
every day.
Car Licence Plates
Will : Have New
Design in 1955.
A new design of motor, vehicle
registration plates for 1955 is an-
nounced by Minister of 'Highways
George H.•Doucett, so that no let-
ters will appear on the first
999,999 passenger car plates.
The new plate will be of stand-
ard size 6 by 12 inches, all figures.
being three and one half inches.
Upon reaching .the million marl,,
one letter will be used for each
100,000 plates. Size of figures on
the new plates will be half inch
shorter -than those on the present
plates, but the legibility of the
Plate will be increased by reason
of the discontinuance of the three
inch letters.
Another reason for thechange
is that a registration plate is only
as legible .as the smallest figure
or letter thereon, Mr. Doucett
states Second reason is that
there has been considerable con-
fusion in noting the letters on .re-
gistration plates particularly with
the letters v, n, m, c, and g.
Third reason is that Ontario
is co-operating with all other pro-
vinces and the States in the Unit-
ed States in adopting a standard
size plate at the request of the
automobile manufacturers w h o
plan with their 1956 models to
provide
aattach-
mentnd illumination on meanprtiu
of rear registration plates.
"No other province and but ono
state has larger figures on their
plate," Mr. Doucett said.- "That
is the State of NewJersey; they
use letters on 'their Plates.andthe
letters are but two inches in
height"
