Hustle, and fortune awaits you;

For there's no Chance

For the chap who can't endure,
Sing; and the world's harmonious;
Grumble and things go wrong,
And all the time
You are out of rhyme,
With the busy, bustling throng.
Kick, and there's trouble brewing;

OLD MEANING OF FAMILY TO
BE USED BY CENSUS TAKERS
"A Group of Persons Living Together
in the, Same Dwelling Place or
Premises" Makes One Fam-
ily for Census Purposes
The definition of the word. "fam-
ily" as it was understood in the days
of Abraham and the patr'aichs will
be used by census -takers in enum-
erating the population of Canada
during 1931 census. If the head of a
family, his sons, daughters, daugh-
tels-in-law, relatives, servants,and
lodgers are members of the same
household and live on the same pre-
mises, tbey will all go down on the
census records as constituting' one
family. The word "family" for cen-
51.15 purposes means "a group of Pan -
sons living together in the saltie
dwelling place or premises." The
persons in the group nett not tie
eossarily be related to each other,
A landlady with a hundred boarders
constitutes one family.
hvo or more families may occupy J
the same dwelling• house without
living together or being• tneulbers•of i
the sante household. If two familie% a
occupy seperate metiers of the dwel-
f
ling and their housekeeniug is en-
tirely separate, they will be return- ,vc
ed by the census eunlnerator•s as see- $
orate families, however closely they t
may be related by blood. r•
In the census, there is even such e
a thing 55 a family be one. A a
ba"helor maintaining private quarters t
will be listed as a family. An s

RADIO CENSUS
One of the questions to be asked
in the tonging census is--4"Do you
own a radio?" It may be suspected
that the. purpose of this is to locate
persons who may not have paid their
license, or to assist private radio
companies to make sales by letting
'them know what families do not own
radios. This is wholly unfounded.
The answer to this question, as to all
other census questions, are absolutely
confidential—,)vett 'xo Government
Departments. The purpose of the
question is to. explore and analyse
just what the radio audience of Can-
ada is where it is Located, where it
is densest,'and how it is made up ac-
cording to the different elements in
the population. With the growing int;
portanee of radio, such information
is indispensable to the formulation
of satisfactory broadcasting'. Radio
is a further index of the Canadian
Standard of living, nod some inter-
esting• studies may be .expected as a
result of the Census question.

GRANT FLEMING, M.D. .4 ASSOCIATE SECRETARY
THE USE OF DRUGS
Many of our correspondents ask
for advice with regard to treatment
and, particularly, advice concerning
the value of some particular drug as
a remedy for a certain disease.
When illness occurs, the patient de-
sires treatment fortwo reasons; one
is in order to get relief from the
symptoms which trouble him, and the
other is for the cure of his disease.
It le comparatively easy to relieve
symptoms, Pain is the most distress-
ing symptom and there are drugs
which will relieve pain, There is no
reason ashy symptoms should not be
relieved, but this has nothing to do
with the real treatment which aims
to cure, or at least to improve the
condition of the patient.
Before a disease tan be properly
treated, a diagnosis must be made.
In this connection, headache offers
a simple example. There are many
cau85s of headache; it may he due to
aye -strain, and then the treatment
consists in evearing properly -fitted
glasses; . it may, however, be due to
icitlney disease, anti in such a case,
glasses will not, of course, help.
A diagnosis is net always catty to
make. A doctor needs all the skill
he has acquired through years of
training and experience to enable
hint to search out the cause of a
condition. In some cases, he will
frankly admit that, even with his
skill, be is baffled, It is just be-
ealt00 it is sitdifficult that doctors
have to devote many years of their
'''VarlalEallaISIRMISEIrs a et, e.
lives to prepare themselves, and it is
this preparation that the layman
lacks, This does not mean that there
is anything mysterious about medi-
cine, but simply that it takes years
of hard work to acquire medical
knowledge and the skill to put it into
practice.
Another point which is frequently
nverleol:ed is that no two persons are
exactly alike, whence it follows that
no two cases of disease are just the
same and no two individuals react in
the same way to drugs and other
treatment. In other words, each
case must be treated individually,
and the treatment recommended is
based, first of all, on the diagnosis,
and is then continued or altered de-
pending upon the r•esponee of that
particular individual to the treat-
ment used.
There arc many who will coneedo
this, but who think that they are
quite capable of looking after 11111101'
illnesses, We would point out to
them that the proper early treatment
of what appears to be nothing serious
is the best way, and often the only
way, to prevent the development of a
50111,05, if not fatal condition.
Drugs have their place, but they
should be used only when prescribed
by someone who understands the
chugs and the condition for which
then are to be used.

dressed to the Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 1S.I College Street, Toron-

yrar;,,71
In trio opening weeks oT June every family and
every home in Canada will be visited by a repro-
sentative of the Government for the great national
purpose of taking the seventh census of Canada,
The census is really a stocktaking. That is, it
provides the information -to enable the Govern-
ment and others interested in the development
of the country to formulate progressive policies
for the happiness, comfort and prosperity of our
people.
All the information supplied is strictly confidential, and the officers
oT the Government are subject to severe penalty if they disclose any of
the information which is given to them by residents in the country; to,
any other than the Government.
Furthermore, it has nothing whatever to do with taxation, or military
service, or/compulsory school.attendance, or immigration, or any such
matter; and the Government itself cannot use it except for statistical
totals. ' -
The Government representative will put the same questions to all,
and it is your duty as a resident of this country to answer promptly and
truthfully. The Government is very anxious to avoid forcing anyone to
answer these' questions, but it is empowered to do so in the few cases
where individuals :may refuse.
