Z,, ToroOtet,, Jt Mother of Five Who Was Always Tired Now Awakes as Fresh as a 1;047183/ A nu/Wier of five has a lot to do, Especially a country mother. And this one was "always tired,' k'?t'. Kruschen ended all that -now one gets up, feeling fresh, at five o'cloek in the morning! She writes: "I find Kruschen Salts the best thing Money can buy for my health. I am the mother of five children, and before taking Krusehen, 1 was always feeling tired and run deem.; Now, i am glad to say that I get up feeling fresh --and I get up at five' o'clock in the morning. I do . my. housework, look after my children, and leave the house at 6:30 to start my daily work." -(Mrs.) B. Tiredness and that run-down fee- ing can be traced to one root cause. That cause is internal sluggishness; failure to keep the inside free from poisonous, waste matter. ICrusehen Salts is an excellent recipe for maintaining a condition of internal cleanliness. The nu ner ous salts in Kruschen stimulate yogi internal organs to smooth, regultix action. Your inside is thus kept clear of those impurities which, when al- lowed to accumulate, lower the whole tone of the system. Physician Gave Wlmself Cancer Hopes to Prove Theory That Can- cer May Be Transmitted by Direct Inoculation A Little, grey-haired Cuban physician sat in his study at Havana the other night, occasionally rubbing -several lit- tle hard spots on his left arm which may eventually cause his death from cancer. But to Dr. Matias Duque, Cuba's first Secretary of Public health, these little risings under his skin meant something more important than the life of one human being. He hopes they will prove his theory that cancer may be transmitted from one person to another by direct in- oculation and thus provide a specific clue for the development of a cure for the disease that takes hundreds of lives annually. Voluntary "Guinea Pig" Last October 3 the 70 -year-old doc- tor became a voluntary "human guinea pig" for cancer experiment. He had himself inoculated four times with "filtrates of cancerous elements," taken from a cancerous tumor re- moved from a woman patient. Small subcutaneous hardnesses are now appearing where he was inoculat- ed. They have been developing slowly for nearly a month. Dr. Duque says he cannot yet class- ify the little clots, but believes they may be the beginning of a cancerous growth. =, The doctor gave up regular prac- tice years ago to devote the rest of his life to cancer research, after tivo members of his family died from the disease. Boars Win From Bears In Battle A fight to the death between wild boars and bears recently occurred in Yugoslavia. The boars won. The battle followed a huge drive by peasants against the animals which had been doing tremendous damage to crops in the district. This hunt led to several families of bears and a pack of boars being corner- ed in a forest glade. Then the fun started. The animals forgot the hunters and started a free fight. Boars and bears fought desperate- ly for an hour and then the bears fled, leaving a number of dead be- hind them.

The same spirit of tolerance, cour- age and faith which enabled the ,'Fathers of Confederation to achieve Canadian unity 70 years ago, will en- able the Canadian people to solve all their present problems, !don. Newton Rowell declared at Winnipeg before the initial session of the Royal Com- mission on Dominion -Provincial Reim done. Commission's Task He declared the commission's task was 1. To re-examine the economic and financial heels of Confederation and the distribution of, fegislativ-e pot ers in the light of economic and social developments of the last seventy years. 2. To investigate the character and amount of taxes collected from the people of Canada and to determine whether taxation as at present allocat- ed and imposed is as equitable and as efficient as can be devised. 3. To examine public expenditures and public debts in general in order to determine the ability of the Domin- ion and Provincial governments to discharge their constitutional respon- sibilities within the frame work of the present allocation of powers or on the basis of some form of reallocation thereof. Seek Balance of Relationship 4. To investigate the whole ques- tion of Dominion subsidies and grants to provincial governments. This nec- essarily involves the question of whether a system of subsidies and grants to provincial governments is the best method of enabling provincial governments to discharge their re- sponsibilities or whether there are more effective alternatives. 5. Following these inquiries the commission is instructed "to consider and report upon the facts disclosed by their investigations and to express what, in their opinion, subject to the retention of the distribution of legis- lative powers essential to a proper carrying out of the federal system in harmony with national needs and the Promotion of national unity, will best effect a balance of relationship be- tween the financial powers and the ob- ligations and functions of each, gov- erning body and conduce to a more efllcient, independent and• economical discharge of governmental responsi- bilities in Canada." HAKE HEAR I le CHRISTMAS TIMES Oh, what joy there is in living on Christmas; What a charm there is in living on Christmas. What a pleasure 'tis to see children dancing Merrily tround the decorated tree on Christmas, Is your heart becoming a little more soft?. . . That's the spirit of Santa Claus, coming only once a year, but splendid even for so short a while. Visitor -Do you think it is proper to use profanity to a mule? Farrier -So far as my own feel- ings are concerned it is highly un- proper. But when you are trying to get along with as sensitive and ex- acting an animal as a mule, you've simply got to humor him. "Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important." She -Funny no one seined to reaI- ize what a bad egg he was while he was rich. He -My dear, a bad egg is only known when it's broke. The English laugh at a joke three times - First -When they hear it. Second -When they tell it. Third -When they understand it. All the world loves a fat man, if he answers to the name of Claus. Student --• (looking up from his book) -More than five thousand elephants a year go to make our piano keys. Landlady- Really? It's remark- able what those beasts can be train- ed to do. . Poor- Were you presented at COuet when you were in England? Rich -Yes, and l had to pay five pounds' fine. Bill .-- What's that noise . over there? Ted --- Oh, Battling )Bloke, the fighter, is leaving a tooth pulled. One of ,the big secrets of happi- ness is to tackle our work joyously, To attack it with gusto and a smile, To wade into it with the spirit of a conquering chief. When one works joyously at the wood pile, the ledger, or the typewriter, the hours flash by, the sunshine enters our heart end the world seems a good place in which to live. To come to our work with a grouch, a frown, and inward reluct- ance, is to cram our creative en- ergies and stifle our power to think. The joyous spirit is the spark that gets things done! It releases a ;flow of ideas. It makes the chips fly, J'oyousnese attracts the best. Tourer -So your daughter is" go- ing around the world during the Christmas holidays. Is she prepared for the journey? De Tourer -Well, she can say "NO" in 12 languages. "Of all sad words of tongue, or pen, the saddest are these: -"Don't open till Christmas." Traveler -Can I get anything to eat in this dump? Negro Waiter -Yes, sah, yo' s11o' kin.. Traveler -Su ch as what? Negro Waiter -Such as it is, sah. The train roared past the station. Above the noise the station agent heard a yell. Rushing out to the platform, he saw a man sprawled out alongside the tracks, A little girl was standing: Agent- Did he try to catch the train? Little Girl -I -Ie did catch it, but it got away from hint. We give up luxuries for war. Do we give up luxuries for peace? Hare Cycles Said Ten Years Apart Northern Snowshoe Rabbits Are Found to "Die Off" every Decade q';' The popular belief that' ilia snow- shoe rabbits of Canada's with- woods die off every seven years Is challenged in a report on a four-year study of hare periodicity, just published. The cycles are nearer 10 years in length on the average, it is stated. The study was made by Dr. D. A. Macllulieh under the joint auspices. of the department of biology, University of Toronto, and the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology. Vary in Different Areas It concerned only the varying hare, Lepus Americanus, which also is called the snowshoe rabbit.

" FINE iC U T the common hale of Ontario from Mus" koka northward and of the north woods of Canada generally. It turns white hi winter, The report of Dr. 1VIacLulich found that hares do not reach their peak of abundance or begin to die ori in the same year in all parts of Ontario. Hare populations were found to vary from about one to a square mite in times of extreme scarcity to more than 1,000 in the same area in times of abundance. Highest number en- countered was in the north part of Frontenac County in July, 1932, when there were 3,400 to the square mile. Thief Sells Goods In Owner's Absence A furniture dealer was recently asked to call at a house and value some goods. When he arrived he was met by a woman in a dressing -gown who showed Ilim round and offered him some real bargains. The dealer jumped at the offers, loaded the bar, gains on his van, paid cash and drove away. Two days later he discovered that he had not removed all the goods he had bought. He went back to the house but could get no reply. Then out came a neighbour who informed him that the tenants were on holi. day. The police are stiII searching for the woman in the dressing -gown, who was really a burglar. She was selling the furniture of the owners while the house was unoccupied. Chance For Life Given Oiitailo's Chi! en iv Hospital For ickChildren Paralysis Epidemic Re-. minds Province of Type of Service Given Every Day For 62 Years Like a spectre out of the dark ages, Infantile Paralysis (Poliomyelitis) appeared in Ontario homes late Iast July. Rich and poor, old and young city dweller and farmer -all were hit. Appearing without warning, striking where least expected, the horror spread. By late August an epidemic of major proportions was with us. School opening was postponed over a great portion of Ontario. Children died before they could be' rushed to hospitals, Nearly every parent in the Pro- vince was concerned and took what precautions seemed best to have children avoid contacts which might bring the ghastly plague to them. But mystery still shrouds the way in which this dread disease is spread. might be provided the only possible chance for life during the Iater stages o_ the disease. Thus was the emergency met : y The Hospital for Sick Children when many lives were at stake. There was no thought of expense or human limitations. The job had to be done, and was done despite the tact that it meant night and day service for many, many weeks. But this is just typical of the ser- vice The Hospital for Sisk Children has rendered for over 60 years. Every hour of every day and night some emergency must be met. The life of a child, precious to some family, is at stake, It is only when dozens of similar cases occur at the same time that the work becomes "news," and can be called to the attention of the public by the press in a spectacular manner. Neverthe- less, the work goes on hour after hour, until the days and months and years total decades of service to the needy children of the Province. Every emergency situation creates costs which mount up far beyond the normal provisions of government and municipal grants. But. unlike Then, the Iron Lung became front- most other hospitals, The Hospital page news. In all Ontario there for Sick Children has no large group were only three Iron Lungs avail- of Private Ward beds from which to able.

Sick and crippled children must be given medical attention and hos- pital care no n'ntter what their cir- cumstance. No rem would deny them this right, This worthy institution has just started its annual Christmas appeal for funds to enable its work to be continued in just as effective a man- ner as in the past.

These machines went into instant service. The Provincial Department of Ilealth then asked that twenty-three more IRON LUNGS be built with But children were in danger, lives were at stake, IRON LUNGS were needed at once. So the officials and staff of The hospital for Sick Chil- dren decided to build IRON LUNGS themselves, in less than eight hours, a crude but workable wooden lung was finished -less than 30 minutes before the doctor had said a little patient would die unless a respirator could be tifovided. a world-wide recognition for effi- ciency and economical operation has been earned.
