Adhesions, by which intestines grow fast to other organs, have been a serious cause of major ab- dominal operations, and there has been no satisfactory remedy. Heparin prevents clotting not only of blood, but of the water - white substance left after the red corpuscles are taken out. It is this watery substance which starts the abdominal adhesions. -a,-a-0--4--M-e-.-0-6-0 91D1-m--�-�-a-e. Eti ne e BY ROBERTA LEE odeui 1.

Wolf t Save Bones And Help Win War Householders who save bones for the national salvage campaign are contributing directly to win- ning the war by decreasing the import of bone products and help- ing to conserve foreign exchange, the department of national war services said last week. Canada exports between 60,000 and 70,000 hundredweight of bones a year yet there are glue factories which cannot obtain enough raw materials - bones - to operate on a full-time basis, the report said. A net loss of foreign exchange in transactions of exporting bones and importing bone products has been the result. x' r EMUS? v � A friend of Charles IYI. Schwab, who occupied the estate adjoining the steel magnate's, one afternoon approached the latter and tried to sell hint a cow. "I've got a cow I want to sell you Charlie," he said. "Yes? Would she fit into my Guernsey herd?" "No, I dunno as she would." "Has she got anything to re- commend. her?" "Well, I dunno as she has." "Does she give lots of milk?" "No. I can't say as she gives lots of milk, but Charlie, I can tell you this: She's a kind, gentle, good-natured old cow, and if she's got any milk she'll give it to you." Grandad says he'd give something to know what Mrs. Mussolini said to Mr. Musso- lini when she heard Haile Selassie had got his kingdom back. The little guests at a party were being arranged in a group for a flashlight photograph. See- ing one little fellow who appear- ed rather awed the photographer spoke to him kindly. "Cheer up, sonny," he said. "Smile at this little girl over here." "Why should I?" he asked in- dignantly. "She's my sister." It must he a special type of gravity that brings the large strawberry to the top of the box and the heavy to- mato to the seed catalog cover. Not long ago a jury went out early in the day on a simple case, and when it came near the time for court to adjourn, his Honor sent for the jury, and asked the foreman if they required any fur- ther instruction. "We need no instruction, your Honor," replied the foreman "but there are eleven pig-headed men who won't agree to anything."

Wood -burning Brooder Stoves They've Been Proved Much Cheaper to Operate, Just As Efficient as Other Types Just what is the best type of brooding equipment for outlying districts has always been an open question. Electricity is not avail- able, oil is too expensive, hard coal is difficult to obtain. and ex- pensive to use. At the Dominion Experimental Station at Normandin, Que., wood burning brooder stoves have been tried out with satisfaction and a comparison made with coal burn- ing brooder stoves on the basis of fuel prices ruling in that section. The fuels used were chestnut size anthracite coal valued at $20.00 per ton and Birch wood costing $6.00 per standard cord, says George Hodgson, Poultry Division, Central Experimental Farm, Ot- tawa. ONE-THIRD THE COST Under the conditions and equip- ment used in the experiment there was found to be a. wide margin of spread in the comparative Cost of using these two fuels. The trial was conducted over a period of approximately 67 days, from April 8 to June 15, inclusive. The coal was used in a regulation coal burning brooder stove having a 500 chick capacity. The wood was us- ed in a common type of wood - burning brooder stove also supply- ing heat to a 500 chick capacity brooder. Both stoves were found to be very satisfactory for brood Mg purposes and the labour in- volved in their operation was judg- ed to be about the same. No dif- ficulty was experienced in main- taining the desired uniform tem- peratures in either case. .After a little practice in firing the wood stove no rouble was reported 10. � ! tlenhio ; USED TRUCK BUYERS See our large assortment of many :Hakes and models of RECONDITIONED USED TRUCKS At Canada's largest and most reliable Used Truck Market GENERAL MOTORS TRUCKS FACTORY RETAIL BRANCH 208 Spadina ,Ave. Toronto Write Phone - or Wire Open Evenings Mit Nervou s Restless II Cranky?

Future Wars Check Sought Canadian Psychiatrist Urge4 Organization to Prevent Re- current Battles .An organization to be started now to prevent future wars was Proposed to he Americtin Psychia- tric Association in convention at Biehmond, Va., by. its retiring president, Dr, George 11. Steven- son of Toronto. "If," he said, "events are leit only to political leaders and to the emotional reactions of the leaders and the led, you and I know that in 1965, or some such years, the babies our colleagues are now ushering into the world will suffer and die by the millions in another fratricidal war. GUARD AGAINST 1965 WAR "The ordinary man, the ordin- ary woman and child, pay in blood, tears and taxes for this fearful psychosis, a psychosis essentially preventable, not preventable by us alone, or by any group alone, but by the intelligent co-operation of all bodies in the social sciences, not least of which should be prevent- ive psychiatry." The Garden Toad Is Your Friend It Performs A Service Which Is Hard to Measure in Dol- lars and Cents 11 In spite of its ugliness, the toad is the gardener's ally. Once es- tablished in a garden, it makes no demands, and unknown to the gardener it will perforin a service which is hard to measure in dol- lars and cents. It just digs in under a large rock or finds a shady retreat under a board rest- ing in some cool part of the gar- den. It works during the plant growing season and hibernates somewhere out of reach of cold at the beginning of fall to return again when the bluebirds and robins 'make their appearance. Cutworms and flying insects of the night are the ideal food for toads. Based on the consumption of cutworms alone it is estimated that one toad will consume in a singe season, more cutworms than could be killed with twenty dollars' worth of poison. House pets generally play havoc with the garden and should be kept out of it. Gardeners who do not own dogs are often both- ered with the unleashed pets of others. Fortunately they can be kept away. Dogs detest the odor of nicotine and will not come near it. Spraying the lower branches of trees and shrubs as well as plants near entrance walks with a diluted solution of nicotine will have the desired effect. 71/2 Billions Of Cigarets Sold In Canada In 1939; Would Girdle Earth Ten Times If all the cigarettes Cana- dians bought during 1939 were laid end to end they would cover "the circumference of the earth more than 10 times, it is estimated on the basis of figures released by the Department of Mines and Resources. The department announced that during that year cigarette sales amounted to 7,5 71,800,000. That many cigarettes 2%s inches long would make 13 cineuits of the 25,000 -mile circumference of the earth. Total value of tobacco manu- factured in Canada was $90,600,- 000, with 165,700,000 cigars and 34,400,000 pounds of other to- bacco sold in addition to the cigar- ette. Total 1939 tobacco crop was 107,700,000 pounds of which 32,- 200,000 pounds was exported. "Train Train. The Mind To Mind Train "Train the Mind to Mind the Train" is the title of a painting that will hang on the wall at the plant of the Dominion Bridge Company Limited, 1139 Shaw Street, Toronto. Mr. A.
