The casein solution is made up at about 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and sprayed on the boxes at the same temperature. The formalin solution is used cold. In applying the two solutions to the box shook or to the made up box, they are sprayed on simultaneously frone a double nozzled spray gun, the sprays mixing when they hit the surface. "From our experience with patent liners and the casein -formalin treat- ment both on an experimental and a commercial scale,. evidence indicates that the casein -formalin treatment holds out great promise 'for its pose - tical application when all factors are taken into consideration," stated Dr. Hood. "In addition to its effect- iveness in controlling wood taint, it has also been found -to overcome the appearance of bleached surface in 100 per cent of the experimental and commercial boXes put up and examin- ed the past year.

Work is now under way' in co-opera- tion with engineers of the Forest Products Laboratories of the Domin- ion Government in working out and developing a scheme which will en- able the butter box manufacturer to produce: the casein treated box on a commercial scale." ANAEMIA, I The arteries in the skin contract to The Greeks had a word for many send what blood is left to the essen- things, and from the Greek we take the word "anaemia." To us; this word means either a reduction in the number of red blood cells, or -a de- crease in the haemoglobin, which is ' the colouring matter of blood. Oxygen is taken into the lungs when we breathe; there it is' picked up and carried to the tissues in the blood stream, where it is released for use by the tissues, and carbon dioxide, the waste product of the tissues, is • carried away. ' Anaemia results from one of three • causes: (1) the rapid loss of a quan- tity of blood, a haemorrhage; (2) the destruction.' of red blood cells within the body more quickly than they ean 'he replaced; (3) failure, or inade- quate formation, of blood to meet the needs of the body. One month is the average life of a red blood cell. A sudden lossof red • cells is met from a supply held in reserve in the spleen and bone max- -row to meet emergencies. ' If, how- ever, the abnormal 'demand contin- nes, it rennet be met, with the result that production is faulty and many imperfectly -formed blood cells will appear in the blood. Haemorrhage means loss of blood, ' and this, in turn, means loss of body fluids. When the tissues are drained of their fluids,.the need for fluid is made known throughthe thirst that is created.. To make up' for the red cells lost in the haemorrhage, the heart beats piore qu•iekly and breath- ing is ahoelerated, so as to keep the remaining red -cells working at full :speed carrying oxygen tothe tissues.

In other forms of anaemia, pallor, weakness and shortness of breath are late symptoms. These forms are re- cogn'xed early by a study of the Blocs.. A condition which is compar- atively rare now but which was quite common in the past is the anaemia of young girls -chlorosis, or, as it was known, "the green sickness." A somewhat similar anaemia, due to a leek of 'haemogholin, is seen in the mothers of large families, and is due to a deficiency of iron, the basic ele- ment'of haemoglobin. This anaemia can be readily cured. Pernicious anaemia is a condition wherein the red blood cells .are tre- mendously reduced in number. Pre- ceded for several years by a decrease or absence of acid in the gastric juice, and the earlier symptoms of fatigue and dizziness with a numb- ness or tingling of the .extremities, the condition progresses until the peculiar lemon -yellow tinge of the skin is noticeable. Pernicious anaemia was invariably fatal until a few short years ago when, beginning with_observations on, dogs, it was, discovered, that the regularuse of liver will (correct the. condition and.i+estore the sufferers' to a -normal condition. This is net a cure; the use of liver must be con- tinued or relapse will occur.

T R HIS TILE 0 IS T E TRUES In the kindergarten they tell the children about a dear and devout old saint, of the name of Valentine, whose great joy vas to go about doing an- onymous kindnesses to others, leav- ing bon bons, bouquets and even more substantial things on their doorsteps, and disclaiming all credit for his good deeds. He wasn't con- nected in any way, apparently, with cupils and bows and true lovers' knots. And according to history, the Saint Valentine of the /kinder- garten seems a much more authentic being than the Saint Valentine of lace paper and lover -like verses. In ancient Rome the middle of February was the time of the Feast of Lupercalia, a festival in honor of Pan and Juno. At this time, amid due rites and ceremonies, each young roan drew by lot the name of a mai- den, who shared the festivities with him. ' Christianity altered the beliefs at the back of this custom, but the people, loth to give up their feasts and celebration§,' looked about for a saint to whom to attach then. Saint Val- entine's birthday occurring at about this time seems tohave been the sole reason that the choice fell upon him. Another concession -m=ade was the substitution in the lottery of the names .of saints for those of girls,, but this did not last. The girls' names came back into the ceremonies. Saint Valentine's name was retained, and cane at last to be applied by each youth to the maiden whose name he chanced to draw. She became "his Valentine." SOME. SAFETY MEASURES Always matches away from Y v you, not towardyou. Always wield a knife away you. Keep all sciesors in sheath not in use; Keep kitchen knives, in a rack not in a jumble in the table drawer, Always put broken glass in a box -don't t'hr'ow it in a trash basket loose. Is there a gun in the house? Re. member that it, is always loaded until proved innocent. ' Put small bells on all poison bot- tiles—,or shove three or four pins into the corks o(heads up) to warn the groper in the dark. Mop up spilled grease now—not "in a minute." I{eep all pot handles turned away from the front and edges of the stove. Never burn a gas or oil stove a closed room. Always have ' at least one floor open to guard against carbon monoxide poisoning. Don't handle ,electrical!fixtures with wet hands. Don't put pins in your mouth. Don't leave a chair in (the normal path•of travel through a room. Some- body may kill himself on it in the dark. Open all doors of the oven (to ven- tilate it) before (lighting it. Don't use gasoline in the home for eleaning--it is never. safe. Throw out electric cords when they become frayed _1 don't try to patch' them. Accidents don't happen — they are committed. That is why they can bo stopped. In the old days one railroad company. had 8.13 accidents for every 100 employees; they cut that: ration to 0.84.. If 'a railroad can do that ? home can do better. The price is the expenditure of a little energy,' but the rewards are enormous. when Food Groups Building Foods - (Keep the body in repair and build new tissues) Mill, meat, eggs, fish, cheese, legumes..

ABOUT BOXING LUNCH The term "dinner pail" is no long- er "applied (at least not in the best nourished circles) to a container for a carried lunch, particularly the school lunch, says Barbara A. Brooks. It is now a lunch box. This change in name has come about more frons a change in the type of a lunch pace ked' than an alteration in the size or shape of the box.. The old :fashioned; nomenclature was, certainly highly descriptive of the old fashioned contents of the "pail." They were more suitable for dinner than for lunch. In fact, the food was .often just what had been left over from dinner the night be- fore. The virture of economising is worthy, and of'eourse left over:, food is good, but in 'such cases, it.: was of- ten used without plan and just to fill up space in the pail and eventually in the consumer. - Weihave learned the value of care- fully planned meals andit has often been brought to our attention that well packed' lunches, for the school child., are very important.
