their employers. My view is that it
rests largely, if not wholly, on them-
selves. Those who get on fast and
far usually push themselves forward

come from their employers. They are

very good, in their present jobs,
They are always getting ready for
promotion by learning how to do a

is a time of great temptations and
a time when character is flexible and
unset. It is a time of great vanity.
Young people as they are crossing
'the bridge spanning the interval be-
tween teen years and the 20 years
feel the sap of life flowing through
them strongly and they want to do
'great things and go to far places.
' They tee themselves in the years a-
head possessing power, and they
may even see themselves wearing
the crown of fame.
I do not suppose that I ought to
do or is -ay anything to discourage the
high hopes of youth. Rather I ought
to applaud them. But over and over
again I' am meeting young men who,
in their mid twenties or in the years
just before 30, are confessing to me
that they are not going so fast or so
high as they had hoped to go when
they started out on the long journey
• of life. And some of these young
men want to change from their pre-
sent place of employment and !some-
t!mes to take up a new kind of em•
-ployment. T-
Let me quote from the letter which
one young man of 25 has written me.
For the past six years I have been
employed by ' and am now

tioning of our routine work. My firm.
has not in my opinion played the
game fairly in the matter of promo-

come rather "sour." Can you sug-
gest any method whereby I might
make a contact with a potential em-
ployer without too much risk of los-
ing my present job? My dispose.
tion has been steady, loyal and ener-
getic with a fair degree of ambition
and natural ability.
Now any one of a thousand of my
readers may lie ready to say, "That

"In the morning I was discovered
to be affected with the fever. It held
me three: days. On the fourth, when
they went, to bathe me as usual, they
'discovered that I had lost the power
of my right leg." So wrote Sir Wel-

'tile ,paralysis.
Poliomyelitis is a communicable
disease belotiging to that group of
diseases caused by a virus. This
virus is spread from the sick to the
well, and from those carriers who
harbour the virus although appar-
ently perfectly well. The transfer is
made via the secretions of the nose
and mouth, in which seeretions the
virus leaves the body ere the sick per-
son or the carrier.

The virus of poliomyelitia invades

Exercise of Gums and Dentition Im-
portant, But Even More So Is Nu-
trition of Body With Proper Vita-
mins and Minerals..
By. Dr, 'Morris Fishbein 'w
..Editor,:, Journal of the American..
Medical' Association
Your teeth have about as much re-
sistance to decay as your body has,
in .general, to infection. Therefore,
to save your teeth, or those of your
child, you '•should take the s'anme steps
that you would consider in building
up your body.
!First, of course, is direct treatment
to the teeth by suitable amounts of
exercise for the gums and the den-
tition, The frozen food diet of ES-
kimos helps them save their teeth.
Coarse food helps to scrape the sur-
faces of the teeth and to exereise the
gums.
But of even greater importance in
the nutrition of your body. This
involves particularly vitamins A, 0
and D, and provision of sufficient
calciumm and phosphorus. These min-
erals seem .to take part in the build-
ing up of sound bones and' teeth.
:Most diets usually are deficient in
calcium. Phosphorus is found with
a fair amount of ablundance in the
tissue of meat and in eggs. Milk is
the best source of calcium, and this
includes such milk products as cheese.
The important point, however, is
net so much that of getting calcium
into your body, or your child's body,
as it is of getting this mineral in
such form that it can be used by your
body.
Apparently, •the use of calcium de-
pends not only on the amount eaten,
but on the mineral equilibrium of the
of the body, the actions of various
glands, a suitable intake of vitamins
A and 0, and perhaps also to some
extent the relationship of alkali to
acid in the body.
The best diet for your child, there-
fore, for the prevention of dental de-
cay should include daily one quart of
milk, either as milk itself or in soups,
puddings, cereals and similar moods;
at least three servings of vegetables
of 'which one, like lettuce or celery,
may be raw and two Booked; at least
one serving of fruits., preferably cit..
sous fruits like the orange, and per-
haps also another serving of cooked
fruit,
In addition to this, the child should
have one serving daily of meat, one
of cereal, perhaps one egg and some
bread and butter.
Everyone knows that it is difficult
to correct the diet of a child, parti-
cularly when you are planning that
diet for scientific purposes. It is not
well to overemphasize eating too
much because this brings about s
negative attitude in the child and
causes it to resist food 'simply to
exert its will power.
SALMON SUPPER DISH
QUICK TO MAKE READY
Flaked salmon on toast is a tasty
supper dish which has the added mer -
ft, if the housewife's time in the late
afternoon happens to be short (or if
unexpected company cones and your
preparations must be rhsnged for
any reason; it can be made in a very
few minutes. It is inexpensive, too.
1 The ingredients required are a
piund can of Canadian salmon—and,
by the way, Canadian canned sal-
mon is subject to inspection under
federal law—a cup and a hall of
crushed cracker's, a enp of milk, a
tablespoon of butter, a quarter of a
teaspoon of salt, a little pepper, slic-
es of toast, and •slices of lemon. First
.the milk is heated and then the •but-
ter is added to it; then the crackers,
salt, and pepper are put in and after
that the salmon, which has been
flaked er broken up with a fork. A
well beaten egg may also be included
in the mixture but it is not essential.
For serving, the mixture is put upon
slices of hot toast, with a bit of lem-
on
em -on' on top in each case. If preferred,
finely chopped parsley may be used
instead of the pieces of lemon.
Salmon, of course, is a nourishing
food and it .has health value, too,
since the ails distributed threagh its
flesh are valuable vitamin content.

Some Facts About Janis
.lam is •essentially fruit preserved
by saturating all Portions of the fruit
with sugar 'syrup. 'Consistency and
flavetu• are important factors. The
finished product •should set firth 'but
it shouldnt be 'tough and should
spread readily. Too much heating
tends' to impair the fruit flavour.
Prolonged boiling should be avoided
and there should be no delay in cool-
ing off the finished jam.
Consistency depends largely on the
balance between pectin, fruit acid
and sugar. Investigations lave shown
that the amount and quality of pec-
tin vary considerably in different
fruits, but that all fruits reach their
maximum pectin content at matur-
ity. The fruit should, therefore, be
'picked when just ripe and should be
used as soon as possible. It is a com-
mon practice in jam making to add.
commercial pectin. This has the ad-
vantage of lessening the time 'of
boiling necessary to obtain a good
"set" and is particularly valuable
for making jams from strawberries
and raspberries, which ase 'lone in
pectin. The role of fruit acids in
jamas making is two -fold. They are
not only essential' for the formation
of a good "set" but they help 'to
ensure sufficient sugar inversion to
prevent "sandiness' from cane sugar
crystallization.

APPLE EXPORT CERTIFICATES
A special circular just issued to

minion Department of Agriculture
s'ta'tes: "In accordance with the re-
quirements of Regulation. No. 1 (Ex-
port) of the Destructive Insect and
Pest Act, apples may not be export-
ed from Canada to countries other
than the United States unless a spe-
cial certificate is issued ray an au-
thorized inspector which must be filed
with the export papers at the Cus-
toms port of export."
The required certificate is supplied
ley Leonard S. NtcLaine, Secretary,
Destruetive Insect and Pest Act Ad-
visory Board, Dominion Department
of Agriculture, Ottawa, to growers
or exporters only when the variety
of fruit to be exported has been ex-
amined before harvest and has been
found free from the apple maggot
and also found free from that pest
during thregrading inspection as con-
ducted by the Dominion Fruit In-
spector concerned. Applications for
orchard inspection in Ontario where
the work is 'done in cooperation with
the 'Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture must be submitted to L. S. Me -
Laine not later than August 10th.
Similar certificates for growers and
exporters in the Maritime. Provinces
and the Province of Quebec are is-
sued as a resultof inspections con-
ducted by the Provincial Govern-
anents in collaboration with 'the Do-
