LYONS TRADE-IN DEPARTMENT 478 Yonge St., Toronto What Science * is Doing * INSULIN AND CATARACTS "There has been enormous pro- gress in the reduction of blindness In countries all over the world," Sir Stewart Duke -Elder, surgeon - oculist to King George, said in an Interview at Toronto last week. The greatest single factor in this reduction of blindness, Sir Stewart explained, was early treatment and especially the ap- plication of silver solution to the eyes of children at birth. Insulin, by checking diabetic conditions, is also reducing the in- cidence of cataracts, said Sir Stewart. Cataracts were often caused by diabetic condition, he explained. GOAT'S BLOOD CURE Two hundred people have been cured of gastric ulcers by having goat's blood injected into their veins at the Institute of Blood Transfusion in Moscow, U.S.S.R. The cures were remarkably rapid, and in the two years that the experiments have continued no patient has had a recurrence of the trouble after treatment. The treatment has been found success- ful also when applied to skin dis- eases and tropical ulcers, though somewhat less effective than for gastric ulcer. - Five cubic centimetres of blood are transferred from the goat to the patient at each injection. Af- ter the second transfusion the pain disappears and the ulcer be- gins to Heal. ELASTIC METAL Scientists are constantly dis- Covering new metals and improv- ing on old ones. But now they Wye made a new substance which hi neither mineral nor vegetable, tut n combination of both. They have amalgamated rubber and elcel in such a manner as to form se "elastic" metal! Five years ago such a feat would not even have been thought possible. The value to industry of this new metal is considerable: it is ideal for the manufacture of springs, couplings and sound -ab- sorbing devices. Although still in the experimental stages, there is no doubt that it will enhance our progress and there are hundreds of ways in which it will be used. PLANTS GROWN WITHOUT EARTH Dr. W. M. McNeely, medical superintendent of Essex County Sanatorium, Windsor, Ont., has been experimenting for years with plants in his capacity as amateur horticulturist. His hobby has brought him many pleasant mo- ments, and lately gave rise to the idea that it may be possible — to hasten the growth of bone, in op- erations where pieces must be re- moved. He admits that Ile doesn't think himself capable of a medical dis- covery of this magnitude, but be- lieves it will come, in the light that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is experimenting with a live heart and has kept it alive by nutrition for years. The genial doctor got the idea when he began to grow his re- markable flower garden without earth last May, in his first experi- ment with' hydroponics. He has one garden containing 13 varieties of plants and a tomato plant as well, and there isn't a vestige of earth anywhere. The roots are in water containing a solution of chemical salts. The seeds are planted in four inches of ordinary excelsior, suspended on wire net- ting above water containing the salts solution. And almost miraculously, the plants are healthier and much larger than those left to the care of Mother Nature. When the leaves of the plants began to yel- low, Dr. McNeely took this as a symptom that there Was an iron `deficiency and added a bit of iron sulphate, Immediately the leaves took on a deeper color and show- ed signs of improved health, Issue No. 37—'38 Canada Year Book In 1938 Edition Is Packed With Information Touching on All Phases of The National Life — Statis- tics Always Useful. The publication of the 1938 edi- tion of the Canada Year Book, pub- 1ishGld by authorization of the Hon. W. D. Euler, Minister of Trade and Commerce, is announced by the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics. The Canada Year Book is the official statistical annual of the country and contains a thoroughly up-to- date account of the natural resour- ces of the Dominion and their de- velopment, the history of the coun try, its institutions, its demography, the different branches of produc- tion, trade, transportation, finance, education, etc.—in brief, a compre- hensive study within the limits of a single volume of the social and economic condition of the Domin- ion. This new edition has been thoroughly revised throughout and includes in all its chapters the lat- est information available up to the date of going to press. The 1938 Canada Year Book ex- tends to almost 1,200 pages, deal- ing with all phases of the national life and more especially with those susceptible of statistical measure- ment. A statistical summary of the progress of Canada is included in the introductory matter. This gives a pictures in figures of the remarkable progress which the country has made since the first census of the Dominion was taken in 1871, sixty-seven years ago. Maps and Charts There are over thirty maps and charts contained in the volume, and two photo -gelatine inserts illustrat- ing the sections of '"The Flora of Canada" and "Historic Sites and Monuments," respectively. Three lithographed maps are included. Persons requiring the Year Book may obtain it from the King's Prin- ter, Ottawa, as long as the supply lasts, at the price of $1.50, which covers merely the cost of paper, printing and binding. By a special concession, a limited number of paper -bound copies have been set aside for ministers of religion, bona fide students and school teachers, who may obtain copies at the nom- inal price of 50 cents each. The BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY ELIZABETH EEDY "Papers and Records: WELLAND COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY" Come to think of it, many of the most interesting events in the his- tory of Ontario (ineluding Laura Secord's walk to warn the soldiers) had a place in the development of Welland County, that versatile sec- tion of the Province tucked down between Lake Erie and Lake On- tario. For one thing, the county is bordered by the Niagara River, a body of water which has figured large in a dozen incidents. The Welland County Historical Society has done a valuable job in .collecting over a period of years all the papers and records which throw light on the past of that re- gion. So far, five volumes of the Papers and Records have been published, dealing with the War of 1812, the Fenian raids, the building of the Welland Ship Canal, the story of Fort Erie, happenings on the"•Niagara frontier. Sketches of personalities serve to make the documents real and interesting. The student interested in the history of Ontario cannot afford to miss a perusal of these volumes. They may be had at $2.00 a piece. Orders are received by Louis Blake Duff, Secretary of the Society, 35 Niagara Street, Welland, Ontario, Flying Above Quebec Lakes Mrs. Wilbur L. Cumming, ac- companied by her daughter Molly, both of Round Hill, Greenwich, Conn., arrived at Gray Rocks Inn Airport, St. Jovie, Que., recently. From this point Mrs. Cumming chartered the Gray Rocks Air Ser- vice Waco 87 and flew into Lake Commandant, approximately 65 air miles north of Gray Pocks Inn. There they were met by guide, Joe Latour, and caught a large number of grey trout. In neighbouring Lake Gauthier they also caught their full quota of speckled trout. During the trip Mrs. Cumming and her daughter had the experience of seeing con- siderable big game. A Black Sheep A black sheep ran into a ctll- de sac, chased by a dog; leaped a four -foot gate; jumped through a window into a house; knocked over table at which some people were having breakfast; smashed crockery and ornaments, and smothered the food in broken glass. AVE YOU HEAR After a long talk on the value of peace, goodwill and disarmament, a teacher asked his class if they ob- jected to war; Boy—Yes, sir, I do! Teacher—Good! Now tell us why. Boy—Because, sir, wars made history—and I hate history! Imagination was given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is. Mrs. Dasher—.When we were in Egypt we visited the pyramids. Some of the stones were literally covered with hieroglyphics. Mrs. Gusher—I hope none of them got on you. They say some of those foreign insects are ter- rible. Things work Out Because it rains when we wish it wouldn't, Because men do what they often ahouldn't, Because crops fail, and plans go wrong— Some of us grumble the whole day long, But, somehow, in spite of the oars and doubt, It seems at last that things work out. So bend to your trouble and meet your care, For the clouds must break, and the sky grow fair. Let the rain come down as it must and will, But keep on working and hoping still, For in spite of the grumblers who stand about, Somehow, it seems all things work out. Dramatist—So you've read my new play? Well, what do you think of it? Manager—My dear sir, there are two scenes in it that Shakespeare himself couldn't have written. Dramatist—Really? And which scenes are those? Manager --The one In the radio shop and the one in the movie stu- dio. Mother—Junior, isn't it rather extravagant to eat both butter and jam on your bread at the same time? Junior—Oh, no, mother dear, It's economy. You see the same piece of bread does for both. Harper --Green says he is finan- cially all in. Harris—Yes, just told ore he's ev- ery cent out. Let the other fellow talk occa- sionally. You can't learn much lis- tening to yourself, Neighbour—Well, Bill, I hear your boss has had a fever. How's his temperature this morning? Hired Man (scratching his head) —'Taint for me to say. He died last night. It takes pluck for a girl to wear some of the new bathing suits. In fact, she has to show a lot of back- bone to do it. C.N.R.

French motion pictures are • supplanting German productions is Greece, Farmers' Feeder Purchase Plan Is Announced Federal Government Aids The Farmers In Buying Cattle -- One -Way Expenses to West Paid The refund to farmers, or their agents, of one-way travelling ex- penses is embodied in a feeder pur- chase policy which Agriculture Minister J. G. Gardiner announces became effective in Canada Septem- ber, extending until December 31. The policy is aimed at helping farmers to make personal selec- tion of feeder stock — cattle and lambs— in Western Canada. It is effiective in three editions, one each for Eastern Canada, the Prai- rie Provinces and British Colum- bia. • The policy is applied to carload shipments billed within the speci- fied time. How Policy Is Applied Subject to the conditions outlined in the policy itself, farmers from points east of Manitoba may obtain the benefit indicated on the pur- chase of feeder cattle at the Saska- toon sale, September 28 to 29; Moose Jaw, October 7, at country points and at any stockyards in the Prairie Provinces. The policy will apply on lambs and ewes bought at the Moose Jaw sale, or at country points; and on lambs purchased at the stockyards in these three provinces. Prairie Province farmers may buy cattle at either of the sales and at the stockyards. They may also purchase lambs and breeding ewes at the Moose Jaw sale, and lambs at the stockyards. in Three Sections British Columbia farmers, or their agents, may have the benefits of the policy on cattle purchased from a range herd in the interior o1 British Columbia; at the Moose Jaw and Saskatoon feeder sales, and at country points or stock- yards, in Alberta and Saskatchew- an. Lambs purchased at stockyards, and both lambs and ewes purchas- ed at the Moose Jaw sale, or at country points in these two pro - !laces, will be eligible. Departmental agents at the va- rious stockyards are in possession of all information relating to the policy, as well as the Western Stock Growers Association of Cal- gary. Seven -Pound Pike Ate a Whitefish After flying into the Wheeler fishing preserves in the Lake La Carpe section of Northern Quebec recently, Dr. and 1,frs. Charles B. Baker and son, Malcolm Baker, of Montreal, have returned to Gray Rocks Inn, St. Jovite, by the Kiamika canoe route. While fishing at Kiamika Lake Mrs. Baker had the unusual ex- perience of catching a 7 lb. pike "HOOK UP WITH OGDEN'S" Get a line on this mild, mellow cigarette tobacco and you'll land a lot of extra satisfaction in rolling your own.

Farm Topics Control of Sow Thistle After -harvest cultivation is the cheapest and most effective method of controlling Perennial Sow This- tle, states J. D. McLeod of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch of the Ontario Department of Agri- culture, in an interview this week. "The creeping rootstalks of the Perennial Sow Thistle are at their weakest stage right now," said Mr. McLeod. "Heat, sunlight and dry weather are our best partners." Mr. McLeod advises deep plow- ing immediately after harvest. The land should be allowed to dry thor- oughly for two or three weeks without Cultivation. It is pointed out that surface soil is separated from subsoil; moisture is cut off, and root -stalks are hollow and milky and cannot stand heat and dryness. Follow later with the broad shares on the cultivator to get any plants that remain. Shallow plowing, cultivating or deep discing will kill young sum- mer annuals and induce seeds to germinate, states Mr. McLeod. Af- ter harvest cultivation pays big dividends in assuring larger suc- ceeding crops and better returns. Kill weeds when they are weakest. Plan now to work all infested fields which are not seeded down.
