REBUILDS ARTERIES
A major discovery in surgery,
a method of rebuilding arteries
by using sections of veins as
spare parts, was reported last
month by Dr, Gordon Murray, of
the University of Toronto.
This kind of new internal pip-
ing, long sought by surgeons, is
made possible by a new drug,
;heparin, which triples the length
of time that human blood takes
to clot.
Heparin, an extract of liver,
was developed by a group of
Canadian physicians headed by
Dr. C. H. Best of Toronto, co -
discoverer of insulin.
ALCOHOL AND ANGINA
An injection of pure ethyl al-
cohol into the neck to cure the
pain of angina pectoris, one of
the serious forms of heart disease,
was described by Dr. Samuel Per -
low of Chicago.
It gave complete relief in 40
per cent of the cases tried, and
partial relief in another 35 per
cent. Angina is a painful heart
trouble.
INFLUENZA CONTROL
A discovery by three Austral-
ian researchers that the human
nose secretes a substance which
will make certain disease viruses
harmless, may open the way to ef-
fective medical control of influ-
enza. The three scientists found
that a. chemically purified secre-
tion of the normal human nose
inactivated every kind of influ-
enza obtainable there for test-
ing.

North American bird .lite faces

tensive use of bird" feathers on
women's hats, according to Richard

The same thing is happening to

logical time they are moving

the world is undergoing change.
The Thames was an underground
river 10,000 years ago, for a for-
mer bed has been discovered six-
ty feet below the present one.
So a million years hence inhabi-
tants of this planet will not be
able to recognize their territory
by looking at maps of to -day.
Everything will be different, fur
a river like the Mississippi shifts
enough sediment into the Gulf of

Prevention of
Throat Infection
Thymol, a substance allied to
phenol (carbolic), but with 25"
times the antiseptic strength of
the latter, is strongly advocated
as a gargle and mouth wash in the
prevention of raw sore throata
and of tartar of the tooth in per-
sons subject to these ailments.
In every mouth left undisturb-
ed for some hours ---for example
during sleep — a varying amount
of white substance grows on the
tongue and other mouth surfaces
and accumulates around the
teeth. This consists of a thread--
like plant called leptothrix, in the
meshes of which may be numer-
ous germs and cells. This plant,
if not removed, will grow ra-
pidly and form a hard tartar on
the teeth which can be removed
only by a dentist's sharp instru-
ment. Such removal is necessary,
otherwise the teeth and gums will
suffer.
HELPS KEEP TARTAR AWAY.
People otherwise meticulously
clean in 'their habits habitually
neglect their teeth; the brush,
used in a perfunctory rub, is al-
lowed to become filthy and pos-
sibly does more harm than good.
Maner persons are continually
troubled with a raw sore throat
aggravated in sonic cases by
smoking particularly if cigarettes
are used; in these individuals a
systematic use of a saturated so-
lution of thymol in water as a
mouthwash and gargle, is a most
effectual preventive.
HOW TO PREPARE IT
The solution is prepared as fol-
lows: the crystals of thyme],
placed in a muslin bag, are put
into a wide-mouthed bottle and
cold water added. Soon there
will be a saturated solution of
the drug. Front time to time
more cold water is added until
all the crystals have disappeared.
Then more crystals are added.
Thymol is inexpensive. An ounce,
costing no more than a few cents,
will make nine gallons of solu-
tion.
If the solution appears to he
too strong, that is if it "bites"
the tongue or throat, water may
be added. When ready, the so-
lution is used as a gargle and
mouthwash several tinges a day.

When Sir George Reid, a man
prominent in Australian polities,
was made knight commander of
St. Michael and St. George, he
was rather embarrassed by his
new dignity, for he liked to be
referred to as plain George Reid.
At one of his meetings someone
called out: "Say, George, what
does K. C. M. G. mean?"
Without a moment's hesita-
tion the new knight answered,
"Keep calling rale George."

large scale, as pa:'t of his polio
of encouraging general gardening

Agricultmal experts were sent to

turnips this fall.
"The importance of vegetables

therefore, besides the economic
factor from the viewpoint of the
farmer, it is to be encouraged by
all possible means," Premier God -
bout said.
