ASSOCIATE SECRETARY TOO LATE There are no other words used in . medicine which tell such a sad story i as the two words "too late." They are infinitelysad because they imply that there was a period of time when it would not have been too late,, a time when help might have been given. It is unfortunately true that there are many things concerning the • cause, prevention and troatnneht of • disease that we do not know. How- ever, what is known is of greatest value -indeed it often has its only value—when used early in the course or development of disease. It cart be fairly stated that, in the, vast majority of eases of illness, if , ' the disease were treated early the patient would in all likelihood be eared, or at least the condition would be improved. On the other hand, it ' is equally true that, in most eases, very little can be done for disease that is far advanced or firmly fixed in a chronic form. Early treatment is urged, because it is the best way to secure results. Delay in securing treatment is Al- most sure to lead to a more pro- longed and more serious, if not fat- al condition. • Many cases of cancer can be cured by early treatment. The reason cancer patients hear the words "too late is very frequently because they did not realize that a condition could be serious and still not cause pain. Pain is usually a late symptom of cancer, and the cancer patients who waits until pain occurs before 'con- sulting his doctor ice in most cases "too late." There is no reason why this should occur. It would not occur , were attention given to certain con- ditions which indicate the possibility of cancer. These conditions do not necessarily mean the presence of a cancerous growth, but a doctor is the only person who can ascertain what they colo mean in each individual ease. Any lump, paelicular]y in the breast, should be investigated. Any sore which has not healed properly within a reasonable bine should be regarded with suspicion. ' Any unu seal discharge or ble&ding from any part of tire body, particularly in wo- men after the menopause, should never be disregarded. Indigestion* should always be looked into, and its cause ascertained. It is by prompt attenticn to such abnormal !conditions. which ,do not appear to be serious, and which do not cause any real discomfort, that cancer will be discovered in its early. curable stage. Early cancer is curable. but the proper means of treatment cannot be applied and a cure effected unless the patient costes tp his dodo at the first suggestion of such abnor- mal conditions es have been mention- ed. Do so, and you will not be told that it is "too late."

BIRTHS, DEATHS, AND MARRIAGES IN 1931 The preliminary report on Vital Statistics of Canada for 1931, issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics, shows that year as having the lowest mortality rate recorded under the national system of vital statistics which allows detailed comparisons back to 1926 for the nine provinces of Canada and to 1921 for the eight provinces =elusive of Quebec. The reduction extended to infant most- ality, which also showed the lowest rate so far recorded, and maternal • mortality, which for the first time underwent a significant decrease, I Births were down from the previous ;I year and marriages which had al- ready fallen in 1030, continued to de-; cline.

LEISURE What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare? No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. ' No time to see, when woods we pass, Live births numbered 240.108. or 23.2 per 1,000 population in 1931 as compared with 243,495 or 23.9 per 1,000 in 1930. Illegitimate live births totalled 8,342 in 1031, Terming 3.47 per cent of all live births, a; against 8,050 and a rate of 3.31 per cent in the preceding year. Stillbirths a- mounted to 7.607 or 3.1 per cent. of all births. In 1930 there were 7.707 stillbirths, giving the same percen- tage of all births. There were 104,449 deaths in 1031, giving a rate of 10.1 per 1,000 popu- lation. For 1930 the number was 109,306 and the rate 10.7. Deaths under one year of age num, bered 20.353 in 1031, a rate of 84.8 pet' 1,000 live births. These figures compared with 21,742 deaths and a rate of 89.3 in 1930. The rate for 1931 was the lowest yet recorded, and in the eight provinces for which figosres under the national sytotem run back to 1021 the ten years show a reduction of 18 points; from 88,1 in 1921 to 69.7 in 1931.. There were 1,210 maternal deaths in 1931, giving a rate of 5.0 per 1,000 live births. In 1930 there had been 1.405 maternal deaths and a Tate of 5.8. From 1926 to 1930 the rate had oscillated between 5.5 and 5.8, and 1931..showed the first sig- nficant reduction in this class of deaths. Amongst the chief causes of gen- eral mortality were diseases of the 'heart with a rate of 182 per 1,000 in 1931 against 128 in 1930, cancer with a rate of. 92 against 91 and tubercul- osis witIr a total rate for all forms of 74 against 80. Measles, scarlet fever, whooping couch and dinhther• la had a total of 1.812 deaths 'in 1931 against 2,619 in the preceding yeas. and a combined rate of 17 ar :eldest 26 per .100,000.

SONG OF P�OPOPLARS Shepherd. to yon tall poplars time you: flute: Let them pierce keenly, subtly shrill. The slow blue rumour of the hill; Let the grass cry with an anguish of evening gold, And let the great sky be mute.Then hearken how the poplar trees unfold Their buds. yet close and gummed and blind, In airy leafage of the mind, Rustling in silvery whispers the ' twin -hued scales That fade not nor grow old. "Poplars and fountains and you cyp- roma shires Springing in dark and rusty flame, Seek you aught that hath a name? Or say, say: Are you all an upward agony Of undefined desires? "Say, are you happy in the golden march Of sunlight all across the day? Or do you wateh the uncertain way That leads the withering men on cloudy stairs Over the heaven's wide arch? "Is it *wards sorrow a towards joy you lift The sharpness of your trembling spears? Or do you seek, through the grey tears That blue the sky. in the heart of the triumphing blue, A despot•, calmer rift?" So; I have tuned my music to the trees, And there were voices, dint below Their shrilhtess, voices swelling slow, In the blue murmur of hills, and a golden cry And then vast silences, --,-Aldous Huxley. BEAUTY I. have seen dawn and sunset on moors and windy hills Coming in solemn beauty like slow old tunes of Spain: I have seen the lady April bringing the daffodils; Bringing the springing grass and the soft warns April ram,, I have beard the song of the biose sons , and the old chant of the sea, • And seen strange lands from under • the arched white sails of ships; But the loveliest things o£ beauty Goll ever has showed to hie Are her voice, and her hair, and eyes; and the dear red curve of her lips , ' John Masefield. THE ELFIN ARTIST In a glade of an elfin forest When Sussex was Eden -anew, I came on an elvish painter And watched as his, picture grew, A harebell • nodded beside Mm. • He dips his brush in the dew. And it might be the wild thyme round hie} ' That shone in that dark strange ring; But his brushes were bees' antennae, IIis knife was a wasp's blue sting; And his gorgeous exquisite palette Was a butterfly's fan -shaped wing. And he mingled its powdery colours, And painted the lights that pass, On a delicate cobweb canvas That gleamed Like a magic glass. And bloomed like a banner of or - land, Between two stalks of grass; Till it shone like an angel's feather With sky -born opal and rose, And gold from the foot of the rain- bow, And colours that no man knows; And I laughed in the sweet May wear they, Because of the themes be chose. For he painted the things that mat.. tee, The tints that we all pass by, Like the little blue wreaths of in, cense That the wild thyme breathes to the sky; Or the first white bud cf the haw- thorn, And the light in a blackbird's eye; And the shadows on soft white cloud - peaks That carolling skylark's throw,—, Dark clots on the slumbering spleno dout's That under the wild wings flow, Wec shadow; like violets trembling On the unseen breasts of snow; With petals to lovely for colour That shake to the rapturous wings, And grow as the bird draws near them, And Ole as the mounts end sings,— Ah, only those exquisite brushes Could paint these marvelous things —Alfred Noyles. btu THE CHOICE When skies are blue ,and days are bright, A kitchen garden's my delight, Set round with rows of decent box And blowsy girls of hcllyhoelss, Before the lark his Lauds hath done And ere the corncrake's southward gone; Before the thrush good -night loath eaic) And the young Summer's put to bed. The currant -bushes' spicy smell, Homely and honest, likes me well, The while on strawberries I feast, And raspberries the sun :bath kissed.. Beans all a -blowing by a row Of Nivea that great with honey go, With mignonette and heaths to yield The plundering bee his honey -field. Sweet herbs 'in plenty, blue borage, And the delicious mint and sage, Rosemary, marjoram, and rue, And thyme to scent the winter through. Here are small apples growing round And apricots all golden -gowned, And plums that presently will flush. And show their hush a Burning Bush, Cheerios in nets against the wall, Where Master Thrush his madrigal Sings, and makes oath a churl is he Who grudges cherries for a fee. Lavender, sweet -briar, orris. Here Shall 'Beauty snake her pomander, Her sweet -balls for to lay in clothes That wrap her as the leaves the rose.
