When the reports from the opera- tion of these two cars over a period of a month were tabulated, it was found. that the recklessly driven car had gained an average of a minute andpa half overhalf over the other car on the three-mile traffic congested course, . n other words, by endangeein„ them- selves and` others, the drivers of the carelessly driven police ears had gain- ed approximately a half minute n each mile. One morning the police followed an - ether car that was weaving ,e and out :ef traffic.

WILLIAM INGLIS, President, H. W. WATERS, General Manager. an and His Diet By I. M. Rabinowitch, in The McGill News (June, '31). Although many causes may be as- signed to the alleged deterioration of the human race, the unwise choice of foods is not one of the most important factors. Given an ordinary every -day diet—a diet balanced by the Individ- ual's preference for quality, variety, taste, and economy—it makes no dif- ference what the healthy individuad eats. Most people need know very lit- tle about the ash content of their orange juice, the caloric value of bacon and eggs, or carbohydrate, fat, protein of mineral contents. In the selection of food man may still profit- ably heed the dictates of his instinct. and experience. Yet the gullibility of the average in- dividual, particularly in matters of health, is notorious, and he is easily impressed by the recommendations of advertisers and pseudo -scientists with respect to certain foods. Orange grow- ers, for instance, would have us be- lieve that a large number of people are suffering from acidosis, and that the prevention and cure of this disease lies in the consumption of large amounts of orange juice. Now acidosis implies an acid reaction of the body tissues. The description of the physio. logical factors governing this reaction is a long story, but I may tell you that of all the mechanisms the human body possesses to combat disease, that which prevents acidosis is one of the most efficient we know of. Except in prolonged starvation and in a few seri- ous illnesses, acidosis does not exist. One cereal manufacturer would have us do away with coffee. Is coffee to lead to the deterioration of the human race? Life insurance companies, with their vast experience in mortalities and morbidities, might have some in- formation on this subject. These com- panies, in order to prosper, must be very alert in investigating the health and habits of their applicants; they pool their information and take ad- vantage of every medical advance, but I believe they have, as yet, to ask an applicant—Do you drink coffee? The dairy industries would have us flood our tissues with milk. Is milk an indispensable part of the adult's diet? The answer may be found in the natural history of animal and man. Briefly, milk is supplied by the mam- SHE WAS GETTINGOw FATTER Now Down to Natant "I was putting on flesh very rapid- ly," writes a married woman, "and also suffering from constipation, and, was very liverish.

Don't Quit When things go wrong, as they some- times ometines will, When the road you're all up -bill, When funds are low high, And you want to smile against himself. When we read of similar 'practices among the Medicine, men of the Congo we call them fetish- es and tabus. The reaction of the medical profes- sion in general, to the incorporation of vitamins in food, Is succinctly put in The British Medical Journal of April 18th, 1931. Apropos of incorporation of vitamins in bread, ',he statement reads as follows: It is possible that good results on the general health of the population might follow an increased consump- tion of Vitamin B, though the point is open to much controversy . It seems, on the whole, unlikely that the artificial addition of vitamins to bread would profit any but the firms who could advertise the article to the dis- advantage of their rivals. Because rats fed on a diet deficient in Vitamins B1 and B2 cease to gain weight and die in three weeks, it does not follow that we must eat foods ex- posed to ultra -violet rays. This ex- periment merely proves that these vitamins are a necessary part of food; but experiment has also shown that vitamins are very widely distributed in nature and our natural foods. We are told in one advertisement that one must become almost a student of the subject in order to obtain the proper supply of vitamins. May I suggest that one must be a very expert stu- dent on the subject to avoid them. One can hardly dismiss this subject without mention of yeast --a product so prominent in the public eye at pre- sent. In spite of its well advertised high vitamin content, I believe I may state without hesitation that notwith- standing the endorsement of "the physician to former Spanish Royalty," trudging seems and debts are but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't quit; Lite is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out, Don't give up, though your pace is slow— You may succeed with another blow.

One of them asked what it felt like to be dead. Young Man—"Dead! I wasn't dead, and I knew it because my feet were cold and I was hungry." Friend—"But how did that make you sure?" Young Man—"Well, I knew I would not be hungry in Heaven and my feet would not be cold in the other place." Pastor—"You say you cannot get along with your husband?

If you ask for an Father—"Heavens! nished with milk. Milk, therefore, cannot be considered a natural food for the adult animal. Since these ani- mals live and continue to propagate, it is obvious that the adult diet must contain all of the necessary food ele- ments which are present in the ma- ternal milk. Man's diet affords no ex- ception to this rule. Whole-wheat bread offers an ex- ample of psychological bias sunning contrary to experimental facts. Since milling became known, civilized man has tended to depart from the whole- wheat holewheat bread of his ancestors. In spite of all "bread reform" efforts to keep 'up the use of this product, white bread has almost universally displaced it among civilized peoples. With the ad- vent of the Great War, Germany, and eventually the entire world, of neces- sity took to whole-wheat bread, but shortly afterward reverted largely to the white product. Insistence upon the use of whole-wheat bread has been based latterly upon its high content of a certain vitamin, its value in the relief of intestinal disorder, and its nutritional value. It might therefore be of interest to those who do not re- lish this article of diet, to know that Vitamin 13 is found in a variety of other and more attractive products, and as far as the intestinal disorder is concerned, other substances may be used more economically and efficient- ly. As for its nutritional value, the verdict is "not proven"; white flour is beyond any doubt a better source of energy. One of the sugars which whole-wheat bread contains, called . s pentose, • yields about 25 per con t ie s energy than the sugars of white flour. In addition, it has been shown that the .. proteins of bran are digested withi EASY To PLAY great difficulty, and are only partly utilized. Whole-wheat bread is there- i fore uneconomical.

PLUG 1,1 TOBACCOCHEWER Guarding the Great Ministers of the Crown In Gt. Bri- tain—and even Royal personages— have often been a little resentful of being dogged or having their homes guarded by detectives, though there are times when such precautions are very necessary. But in some respects the full rigour of this guardianship Is now being re- laxed—as, for instance, at Chequers. Mr. Ramsay MacDonald is probably responsible for the change at Chequers. But in getting the Home Secretary to consent to it he has been more for- tunate than some past Premiers. Gladstone, for instance, once de- manded that the guard on Hawarden Should be withdrawn, but Sir William Harcourt, who was then Home Secre- tary, refused, and the Premier bad to submit. At that time, as the Phoenix Park murders showed, the dangers of public life were very real, and Mr, Glad - stone's guards must have had an anxi- ous time. So had those of the late Earl Balfour, who often tried to dodge them. Queen Victoria was also impatient of guards, and on one occasion inform- ed the then Home Secretary, with great delight, that two "suspicious persons" had been arrested at Os- borne. One of them was Prince Ar- thur, now the Duke of Connaught, and the other the Queen's maid. But it is when foreign Royalties or statesmen from overseas come to this country that the most stringent pre- cautions have to be taken. Mr. de Valera, for instance, was heavily guarded when he visited London re- cently. The recent threats to put Miss Eng- land III out of action call attention to another aspect of the matter. There are fanatics who will attack a person or thing that happens to be in the pub- lic eye at the moment just to adver- tise their views.
