M.D., Associate Secretary 0118 FRIEND FEVER When we are sick and have a fever i one of our greatest anxieties is to • get the temperature down, nor do i we desist- from our efforts until the ' temperature is again 'normal. The result' is that a great many „people have the idea that fever in itself is something to be combatted, : to be brought under control at all • costs, This is a -wrong impression.' Actually feverrepresents some- ' thing for which we should be thank- l fug. Were it not for what causes • ":fever more infections would have' fatal results. Why? When the human body is invaded by • some infective organism, Nature calls otit its defensive forces the militia, naval and air forces of the' body. Germ devouring blood cells -swarm to the point of invasion; their bodies and the debris of battle forme pus. The infected area gets red and swollen from the conflict and the con- gestion of blood cells. Hidden de- fensive units in the body are brought `into action; these are called immune bodies, agglutinins, opsonins, etc. Depending upon their availability the individual Iu as good or poor• "resis- tance." Ib is the intensity of this battle a- :. gainst the amicroscopic invaders which creates the fever. If there is ' a tremendous fight and Nature puts up a strong resistance, there will likely be a high fever, the outcome depend" hig Upon the opposing strengths. On the other hand if the invaders finch little resistance and can make rapid progress there will be little conflict (hence little fever) and- the outcome may not be so good. Thus in certain diseases the 'doctor_ likes to see a reasonably high fever; he then knows that the body is alert and fully prepared to meet the em- ergency. Of course a low fever may mean only a mild infection; the body may only have to repel a scouting party, as it were. Also some diseases, even although of an infective nature, are not characterised by high fever. The experienced doctor knows how to evaluate these factors, If a fever becomes too high and the patient wildly delirious, the doc- tor and nurse do try to reduce the temperature, for the patient would feel better and would be able to get more rest. But the doctor, other- wise, welcoines the lowering of the temperature, not because he ,fears fever,but because he_ realizes that the drop usually signifies that the in- vasion has been overcome and the defence forces are being recalled. Questions concerning health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St.,. Toronto, will be answered personally by letter. YOUR WORLD AND MINE by JOHN 0.

I imagine that most men—young men, that is, Would jump at such ai chance, The young linotype operamLor of whom T am told wanted work with more life and action in it than has linotyping; and I suppose that most of us want a vocation which stretches us. Few of us, I hope, would want to be the prisoners of a stock -broker's office, even though lye were getting well paid for our time. They who live best are givers of themselves to their world, whatever may be the dimen- sions or the character -of. their world. It is what they give, not what they get, which enlarges Ahem and gives theta their content. I hale been reading of a man hav- ing an unsocial nature: He liked best the lonely life—away from his kind. Ile established ids home on the fringe of the Artic0cean. There he took his ride—a city -bred woman who was attracted to him because of his massive strength of body and char- acter. This man made his livelihood by fisId g. His life and that of his wife and children made hien and them wasunmindful This man not t un unc dful of his wife's and his children's cultur- al hunger: he bought them' books, a Piano, _ and other amenities. He took them to the nearest city from time to time; but always his aim and his hope were that his wife and children would accept his kind of life and carry it on aftor he had passed on. But what was the result? • His wife died, and his children left him to go to the soft- er life of the city, and the man re- maii1ecl in his chosen region, consoled by a new wife—a native of the coun- try where he had macre, his hone—an illiterate woman without fine habits or instincts. As I read of this mean, I kept ask- ing the. question: has any man the right to impose his preferences' on others, giving them no choice? If a man wants to live' in solitary places, should he marry et all? Is he doing right with reference to the children of which he becomes the father when he brings them up far from towns and' cities and schools,. Childrengrow up withaptitudes and genius and likings which may incline thein to live and work in settled communities. Ought they to be denied the opportunity and the .freedom to live the life to which they, incline strongly? Yet I remember our grandfathers and great-grandfathers and ' their wives: they left the Old World to set- tle in the New World.- They accepted the hardships of pioneer life. Their choice convened their' children to live the difficult life of pioneers and to go without' school education and the comforts of cities and of an older civilization. Today, we who are their descendants are proud of these hardy ancestors of ours and- hold then: in reverence and approval. I' suppose that the clear duty of parents .is to give -their children the best education possible and to shape their character, -- to implant ini them lofty ideals, and then allow: their chil- dren when they grow up to elect the kind of employment and the place of residence pleasing tis them individu- ally •, It is all right, of course, for a father to try to have -his son take up his own kind 'of work—to be his suc- cessor; yet a father can hardly feel aggrieved if his son chooyes. other kind of employment • anti leaves the parental home. The main matter • is that young, people shall be given ability to dis- tii,guish between the false and the true values of life acid that their character,shall be shaped so that,t'hey will c"hoose the good rather than the evil—that they shall want the life• which tastes sweet at the encl. It should hearten!. us to see all a- bout us mon and women and young people who are bent on spending themselves on activities calculated to snake life better for others.

And, thus remembering, can we cease To holcl in honour those who fought And, with unconquerable zeal, Our great Confederation bought?

SONNET OF NIGHTFALL Always I shall remember how the night Cones on a garden.
