OF Tilt,, tttttabian t&birat A,giiaaitt#irnt and Life Insurance Companies in Canada, Edited by GRANT FLE'MING, M.D., Associate Secretary DIET IN DISEASE The health of the body cannot be maintained without a properly -bal- anced diet. The lack of any one of the food essentials from the diet • leads to the loss of health and to co- tual disease. If some part of rho body has be- come diesased, then, as part of the treatment for the patient, a diet should be used which will not throw any extra strain upon all already weakened or diseased organ, thus facilitating the recovery of that or- , gan. The kidneys have the task of rid.. cling the body of much of its waste -material. In nephritis, or Bright's Disease, the kidney is not able to ' function properly, The treatment • therefore aims to relieve the kidney , bf as much of its burden as possible. There is no'diet which is suited to • all cases of kidney disease. The pro- • per diet in any individual case des. pends upon the nature and extent o8 the disease. People have read that aeid feeds are harmful,andthey start to live on what they think is a '• non-acid diet, without even knowing what are the acid and what are the • 'alkaline 'foods. ' ' As a,niattei',of, feel;,, a, diet made up of an .excess .of alkaline foods is ac- tually harmful; and it is certainly not "the best diet "for` dainaged kidneys.' 'There should. be, a ,balanced diet, so that there is no. marked excess of ',either alkaline at •acid 'feeds. A slight excess of alkaline' foods is generally desirable. The acid foods are meats, poultry fish, eggs, andthe cereals. Alkaline foods are the fruits and vegetables. It is a surprise to many people that the citrus fruits leave an alkaline ash after they are used up in the body, and that oysters leave an acid ash. Praetically this means that the diet should include a liberal a- mount of fruits and vegetables, There is a real difference .between a salt -free diet and a salt -poor diet. In some cases of nephitis, it is nec- essary to cut down the amount of salt used, ,because tine kidney has difficulty in secreting 1t, which Ieads to oedema, or swelling. A salt -free diet requires medical supervision. A salt -poor diet can .be secured through not adding salt to the food at table, and by avoiding salted fish, nuts and other salted foods. When diet is a part of the treat- ment for any disease, it requites jus" as careful prescribing and supervis- ion as does any other part of the treatment. Diet is certainly not r cure-all, 'but it is of importance in the treatment of some diseases. Self experimentation by trying, various diets is dangerous, because of the harm which it may cause, Questions concerning Health, ad. dressed to the Canadian Medical As. sedation, 184 College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter.

Tid s HOUSEHOLD HINTS Wood kitchen equipment will warp if left to soak in water. Clean mold- ing boards, mixing bowls, wooden spoons and rolling pins with a dull, round pointed knife, then wash well and put in a moderately warm place to dry. To prevent a salad from becoming too wet, place a saucer face down- ward at the bottom of the salad bowl. Any surplus water will run under the saucer and your salad will be much more appetizing. Never serve more than one fried food at a meal. Bay your hamburg steak and ask the butcher to 'grind it fresh for you. A pinch of soda added to the boil- ed sYrup will prevent its crYstalhz ing. Rice omelet is particularly tasty if seasoned with a little onion juice and grated cheese. Sage and bay leaves have a great deal to do with the savoriness of the English beef and pork pies. They are not so commonly used here. Hot Supper Dishes Now that the cold weather is here again hot supper dishes are in or- der. Here are a 'couple of recipes susceptible than others to these moods, and if others are happy it helps us to be happy; if others are grouchy and i11 -humored we • are much more likely to' be so, What we should try to remember is that our moods effect others as much as their's effect us, and try to control thein accordingly. Wouldn't it be a good idea this year to take time by the forelock and get ready for Christmas early, doing away with the mad rush of the last few days? "But," somebody speaks up, "we are not going to do much of anything for Christmas this year, we cannot afford to give pre- sents," It may be that many cannot afford .expensive presents. Indeed, most of 05 feel the same way. We must curtail expenses. nut deep down in our hearts we know that we simply cannot let that lovely old festival pass without marking it in some way, and, as often happens, when we have not much money to spend, it will take a bit of doing to manage it. So it beboovs us to he up and at it. Many women are so clever with needle, crochet hook and knitting needles that they can at small cost contrive something not only useful but beautiful. There are may ways, if one gets down to think about them, of contriving appropriate gifts. One of the very ntost appreciated gifts I received Iast Christmas cost absolutely nothing except some thoughtfulness, a bit of trouble and a knowledge of what I would like. After all, it is not the cost of a gift which snakes it valuable, al- though it may be possible, when one has the money and can afford it, to give something which the recipient really needs and will be made rad- iantly happy on receiving, But if we ',vould make a list of those to whom we should like to give something, take an inventory of our resources and then try tc plan sone suitable gift for each one, it might bla easier to accomplish than if we wait until the day is almost upon us. Housekeepers, who have provided well fort their families during the autumn months may be able to spare a little jar of jelly or jam, pickles or sauce to send to someone not so well provided, A small homemade Christmas cake or a little box of cookies would make a lovely gift for a ycung couple who are doing very sketchy housekeeping or the girl who is rooming or housekeeping in the city. Anything in this line, sent to someone who will appreciate it, will be doubly welcome if it is nicely wrapped in gay Christmas wrap- pings, with an appropriate message, The wrappings of a very small or insignificant gift means much. And, we should like to empbasize this, if you are giving t000ne, who. is lonely, to whom Christmas does not mean 50 much as in former years on ac- count of loss or scattering of the family, slake the very most of these wrappings and messages. The one to whom you give might if asked say that they did not bother and cared nothing about such things, but .in their hearts they do and it cheers them to think that anyone cares e- nough to take the trouble. Do not begrudge:a bit of t onble at Ohlist-. mss time, it is all worth while: The more of yourself you can put into Your gifts the better, at the celebra- tion of the birthday of Him who gave all. . —Ri1BIDXAFI, T NOME Hogsehoid Economics which will be welcomed by the fam- ily if served any cold night.

Hotel, steamer and railway chefs give this as the way to make baked soup: Take three pints of cold water, a halfpound of lean beef or mutton, one -cup of split peas, one tablespoon-, full of rice, one small carrot (sliced), and one small onion (sliced). , Wadi the rice and peas and put them in the pot with the other ingredients (meat being cut into small pieces).

AGAIN "THE WOMAN PAYS" The story comes that Jim $uck, an Indian of the Big Eddy, was enamor- ed of Sophia Cook of the same Re, serve, and the couple' decided to be married in the Church of the Re- deemer on the reservation. When get- ting down to the hard platter of fin- ances, they found that they could launch out on the sea of matrimony with an initial overhead of $2,50. But they lacked the 50 cents. They went their separate ways in search of it. Miss Cook called on a fur buy- er, who lent a sympathetic ear,—and the required fifty centp. Then the bride -to -bo hunted up her bride- groom, who hadn't been so lucky. The quiet wedding was solemnized. The bride promised to make moccasins to clean up the liabilities. OF COURSE WOMEN TO BLAME Vanishing ,Caribs Have Quaint Idea of the Origin of Mankind Some of the aboriginal Carib In- dians of the interior of British Ott - bans believe that the origin of all mankind is Heaven. They say that people descended iron Heaven on a long rope, but that a very heavy wo- man broke the rope in her descent and thus severed connection with the celestial realm, British Guiana is Britain's only colony in South America, and is said to be the last haven of the vanishing Carib race. They were fierce tribes, supposed to have frightened Colum- bus from laniling on the shores of South America. CHARLES FIRST'S TOBACCO ' TARIFFS it*made historian, Culls Them First Tobacco Trust, Virginian Leaf Included What may pass for the first to- bacco "combine" and perhaps the first tariff "wall" is described within the 1933 Handbook of Bermuda, by Bushell. "In 1025 Charles I by Roy- al proclamation absolutely prohibited the importation into the Realm of England, Ireland or Wales, of any tobacco not of the growth of either Virginia or Bermuda (both British possessions at the time), also order- ing all foreign tobacco thea in the Realm to be exported immediately. "A further proclamation decreed that, whereas the tobacco business of Virginia and 'Bermuda could not be successfully handled except under the control of one hand, therefore, said Ring Charles: "We are resolved tc take the same into Our own hands, and by Our servants or Agents for. Us, to give such prices to the Plant- ers and Adventurers for the same, as may give them reasonable satisfac- tion and encouragement." LIGIHTNING FLASHES, THUNDER ROLLS DURING SNOW STORM' EXETER, Nov. 18,—Exeter is hav- ing a variety of weather. By way of variety, a flash of lightning, ac- companied by a crash of thunder, visited the town about 4 o'clock Fri- day afternoon, The Rev, M. A. Bunt, who, with Mrs. Hunt, listened to the radio, observed a bright flash above the instrument, Mrs. Walter Cun- ningham, who was phoning at the time, heard a most startling bang, and at the local C.N.R. telegraph of- .fice the instruments shot fire. .

Out of night escaping towards the arc of dawn, What can childhood look for, over the wet lawn? Standing in the strangeness of that garden air, Ignorant adventure finds world won, der there; Miles are more than distance when the eocks are crowing, And along the valley night's last goods -train going Tells of earth untraveled and what lies beyond, Catching roach and gudgeon in the orchard pond.

The tragic part is that we meant it all. The words once uttered we could not recall. "Boys flying kites draw in their swift -winged birds. You can't do that when you are fly- ing words." Then all at once, as coldness melts to spring, So dill our anger cool, and now we bring Each to the other a sincere remorse. Which dries all angry memories at their source.

I soon forgot 'about the weather. He told me lots of Iovely things: The story that the robin sings, And where + the rabbits go to school, And how to know a fairy pool, And what to say and what to do, If bogies ever bother you. The flowers peeped from hedgy places And shook the raindrops from their faces, And furry creatures all the way Cam popping out to say "Goods daY," But when we reached the little bend, Just where the village houses end, He seemed to slip into the ground And when I -looked about T found The rain was suddenly all over, And the sun was shining on the clover. —Rose Fyleman.
