Wrigley Jr. Co.! i'of Canada Ltd., celebrates its Silver! Jarbliee—twenty--five years of steady progress and achievement. It was iust twenty-five years ago that Al- lan Ross, President ef Wrigley's in !Canada, and Vice -President of the 1P7sigley Company in the -United !States, came to• Toronto to found a business that ;has grown to one of the largest in the country. Allan Ross was then only 22, but he had the ability to work hard, a brilliant imagination, and the courage to grasp an opportunity when perceived. To- day Mr. Boss is still a young man at the head of a buSiness that stretches from coast to coast, a company tvhose name has entered every borne, and whose advertising !has contacted ev- ery individual in the D•orninion. The history of Wrigley achievements in Canada is well kerewn: it includes the .founscling of the Marathon Switne at b!the Canadian National Ethibition, the invention of "radio amateur night" the offer .to buy western wheat with all 'kurn-dollars reeeived, the estab- lishment of unemployment hostels, and hundredsosof other contributions to the people of Canada. One par- ticularly outstanding example of a public good deed was illustrated on the occasion that Wrigley's. :brought over fie ;hundred children to see, the Canadian National Exhibition, chil- dren who had neter before ivisited the famous Ex. Mayors of various towns all over Ontario were asked to name their town's most deserving children, who were .then brought to Toronto by Wrigley's to be shown, all the wonders ;of the C. N. E. for three days with all expenses paid. 'Mr. Ross says, "Without capable helpers, no !business can succeed." He has followed that principle and has surrounded himself . with unusually capable men. Highly efficient team- work, possible only with the highest type helpers, has enabled 1'Lr. Ross to build the Waigley Company from e business whose yearly output Would .scarcely fill a room 10 x 10 x 10 feet. To -day, after twenty-five years of co- operative effort the daily production would bulk tons upon tons, Wrig- ley's gum is sold to the public through 75,000 retailerss—three out of every five retailers in tihe Diominioli. Certainly, When one reads of such success and accomplishment, it ,is again brought home that there is opportunity for any young man in Canada who is willing to work hard and long. "There ,is only one way," says Mm. Ross, "to make ;progress; it is to make it slowly. So far as I know there is .only one way to de- velop oneself into !valuable executive material. It is: start to learn by. ac- tual 'experience—which it will take years to get—the fundamentals of whatever game you taekle." Home Canned Meats The home preservation of poultry, •fresth meats, fish and soups is one ,of the high arts of the efficient house- wife who is aware that these com- modities may be canned is success- fully as fruits and vegetables.. Be- sides giving a isupply of fresh Meat for emergency occasions, the can- ning of some of the meat butchered on the farm is a right Step in the way of economy. Beef which might !otherwise be used more freely than atecessary at the time of killing can �e saved for use in seasons when fresh meat is difficult to obtain. In all successful canning operations, there are many points to remember, but, with the appearance of the lat- estobulletin of the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture on the subject, ;much u-nnecessary anxiety has been, is -Isolated. This publication is n.aan- ed "Home Preservation of Meats, Poultry, Fish and Soups" and con- tains full-Sinformation on what to do in canning fresh meat, poultry, corn- ed beef, fish, chicken stock soup, chleken with rice, vegetable soup, in making farm sausages and head cheese, and in curing meat by the brine cure, by sthe dry salt cure, and by Brooking. Some hints are also given on the storing of meat. There is now on the market a smoke -treat- ed salt, manufactured to complete the smoking and curing in one operation. It is a brawn -colored substance con- sisting of common salt to which smoke has been added by means of a patent precess. The Central Experi- mental Farm at Ottawa made an edible -test comparison between meat treated by the ordinary dry and brine salt cures and found all sys- tems equally desirable. The Christmas Turkey In view of the fact that the sum- mer and early autumn months is the time when plans for the raising and fattening of turkeys for the Christ- mas market have to be made, the is- sue of the new series bulletin on The Oare and Management of Turkeys, published by the • Dominion Depart - Ment of Agriculture, Ottawa, comes at an o•pportune moment. Turkey breeding has developed to a consid- erable extent in Canada during the past few yeams,, and success has been attained vhere adequate care has 'been bestowed on the birds. As in other—industries, attention to detail is necessary to success. The selec- tion of healthy, well-developed breed- ers, the management of the breeding stock, the proper feeding and housing of the turkeys, the provision of feee range for growing birds, and requis- ite sanitation are well-recognized es- sentials. In rder to keep the tur- key flock free from disease, the great- est care should be exercised in the feeding of the adult birds which should never be fed from the bare gabund, but from scrupulously clean dishes or troughs, and too much cau- tion cannot be observed in never al- lowing chickens to feed with the tur- key flock during the seasons asf the year when the chickens are frequent- ing the yard. With regard 'to hous- ing, of which full details are given in the 'bulletin, , breeding tu-rkeys should not be confined to houses dur- ing the winter months but allowed to roam at will during the day. Little shelter is required for them. In any case turkeys .should never be kept in a draughty place and never be housed with chickens, Water For Poultry An abundant supply of clean, fresh water should, be available at all times to the growing and laying flocks. Sinceiwater makes up 66 per cent. of an egg, it is imperatise to high egg productiOn and, it helps greatly in the assimilation of poultry feeds. Clean water is necessary,,, not only from a sanitation standpoint, but al- so to help control egg flavor. a Your Printer , He should be selected for continuous service.

Esquire in Reader's Digest). .When, in 1913, I began research ori lie detection in the Harvard Psys chological Labotatary, I proceeded on the ,principle that no normal per- son can lie 'without effort. Now, it is impossible to .increase one's effort —Mental, nervous or otherwise— without increasing the strength of the heart beat. And increased strength of .heartibeat shows in an increase of the systolic blood pres- sure—that is, the pressure of blood in the arteries when the heart muscles squeeze together. Therefore, I reasoned, no normal person can lie without increasing his ;breed pressure. This reasoning prov- ed sound. Every time a subject lied his systolic ;blood pressure went up, The more important "' the lie, the greater the mental effort and the gesater the rise in blood pressure. f Published the systolic blood pres- sor* test for deception in 1917. Ims mediately the newspapers dubbed it the "Lie Detector" and referred to it as a mysterious apparatus. Actual- ly the Lie Detector uses standard types 'of the sphygmomanometer— that little gadget which doctors wrap around our arm just above tlhe el- bow to take your blood pressure -4o reveal the added mental effort used in lying. Innumerable iebjectioes to the Lie Detector came in from: all parts of the world. Only one seemed to me important. A 'psychiatrist -maintain- ed that anybody could beat the blood pre,ssure test t'if he 'believed his own lie --believed• it, that is, with his con- scious mind. Many people, especial- ly criminals, he said, repeated a he so often that they came after a while actually to belleoe the stories they had manufactured in self-defense. About this time I met Mr. L. in Washington, ID. C. Respected! means her of a well-known southern. family L. •had been convicted of second-de- gree murder and had served a term in the penitentiary. Since his release his one hope was to prove to the world that the story he had told to the jury at his trial was true. So absolute...seas his belief in his own story that he begged me 'to test it with the Lie Detector and publish the results. Here was a case, perhaps, which would test the psychiatrist's theory that a man who consciously believed his own story could beat the Lie De- tector. L had shot his uncle --tin 'self -.defense, he claimed. 'His story had two angles: ;First, his alleged motive for quarreling with his uncle, some financial transaction in which his uncle had cheated him. This the jury evidently had believed. The other part of his story had to do with the physical action on the occa- sion of the ,sheoting. L. said his un- cle had threatened him with a heavy cane, L. had drawn his revolver as he backed out of the seem and the uncle had rushed him swinging the cane at' his head. This part of the story the jury had not belierved. But the jury had been wrong. This part of the story was true according to blood pressure results. Then—came the eclipse! The Lie Detector faith- fully revealed that the first and ma- jor portion of L.'s cenvincing tale was a lie! He broke down and wept. Then he told the truth. The whole affair had happened over "the honor of a Southern lady," The lady, whom the uncle had seduced, it turned out was a relative of L.'s wife. This was lat- er. verified. The true atory Would have acquitted L. in any court. His honest belief in his own innocence had spread emotionally, during his solitary years behind prison walls, to an equally strong belief in the wholly -fictitious tale of asshady fin- ancial transaction. Here was a s.in- gularly satisactory proof that Sub- conscibus knowledge of the falsity of a story sociuld reveal itself in height- ened blood pressure, even though the witness had come consciously to be- lieve his own lie. When the United. States entered the Warld War it was proposed to ase deception tests as part of our spy ;catching IsYstem. A psychologists' committee, named by the National Research Council, arranged with the Mu n oi pal , Cri m foal • Court of Boston to try out the most promising decep- tion tests on prisoners under jurisdic- tion of the Court. Ks a result of our exhaustice examination, we re- ported to Washington that the blood sressure test was 97 per cent. infal- lible when used by an expert. Ex- treme skepticism met this endorse- ment Then it chanced that the all- important code book was stolen from the Surgeon General's office in ,Wash- ington, prbbably at the instigation, of a German spy. I was called up- on to examine 70 Negro messengers who had access to the building. Some of those colored boys had to be herded into the examining office at the point of a gun! They thought the test was black magic, and they were all terribly afraid of it. Here was an excellent opportunity to test mit another criticism of the Lie De- teetosi—namely, its alleged; failure when suspects were afraid or • emio- tionally upset from causes having nothing to do with the problem un- der Investigation. None of the Negroes, terrified as they were, beat the lie -catching ex- pert. We u-ncovered an !amazing list of articles which some of them had stolen from various ofliee. Mtore- over, the mes,senger who had stolen the code book was found, and the book traced' and reeovered. Since the war, application of the ;b1lead pressure best has •heers made by many crimiruologlists with uniform &mesas. Dr. John Larson, •of Chica- go, has demonstrated in more than 2,000 cases that the Lie Detector can - rot be beaten by the ordinary exim- inak The test is new 'being used in move theft? 25 leading'Anterican ies by police or criminal auth/O,rities.

Dr. Brown, a wealthy colored physician of Wash- ington, D. C., had ibeen killed, and a reward was offered for the arrest end conviction of his murderer. Jas. .A. Frye, a young Negro, eonfessed. Then suddenly he recanted his con- fession and claimed he had nothing whatever to do with the killing. Ask- ed why he had confessed, Frye said he had been promised half the re- ward for his own conviction! Frye's lawyers, completely baffled by his fantastic tale, begged me to test their client's story with the Lie Detector. It was found to be true, Frye had been approached by a Negro who had premised to share the re- ward money with Frye and to get him out of jail as soon as the reward had been paid. But the other Negro Could not collect the reward, so Frye retracted his ;confession.' At the trial an offer was made— before the jury--sto put in evidence the blood ;pressure test record show- ing Frye's present story untruth- ful Undoubtedly this offer macre a great impression upon the jury. The test itself was excluded on the legal g -round that it had not been made in court. , Nevertheless, with no other evidence in Frye's favor save his own testimony and tlese offer of Lie De- teetor results, the jury acquitted him. A ssibsequent investigati4on verified the Lie Detector's findings. Frye and his atto-rneys !gave ;the Lie Detector full credit for saving him from other- wise •certain hanging. The ruling in the Frye case left only one way open to put the Lie De- tecbor test in evidence. The test must 'be given in ;open court. This was clone successfully by a student assistant of mine, Edward J. New, in Indianapolis in 1924. It was an assault and battery case. Both de- fendant and witnesses submitted vol- untarily to taking the Lie Detector text while on the witness stand. New then went on the stand as an expert showed the charts of the blood pres- sue variations. made while witnesses were testifying, and pointed it lies in the defendant's testimony. The defendant was convicted. Since •that time, Lie Detector results hiave been used in cases before the eourts in California, Washington and; other States. The difficulty of getting the Lie Detector accepted by legal authorities hos been greatly enhanced by the failure of 'other types of deeeption tests previously proposed. For ex- ample the ;breathing test, rated by psychologists as next. most reliable to blood pressure, is handica,pped' by the need of very complex apparatus. This test is based on the fact that people put more effort' into their breathing when they areabout to lie. This "catehing of the flia-,eabh" is in- voluntary, it cannot be controlled, and therefore mak-es a good test. But a subject who understands the prin,ci- ple can beat it by catching his breath continuously. VV'hile he cannot help doing it when he is about to lie, he can do the same thing voluntarily when he is telling the truth-. But to teat the Lie Detector test one would have to master the rare art of cons trolling the heartbeat. Although jurists 'are over skeptical concerning the blood pressure test, it has a far higher rating of relia- bility than tests upon which hand- writing experts and psychiatrists bees; the opinions which are accepted' in evidence. It is 'true, of course, that the Constitution says that no criminal defendant can be compelled to give testintony against himself. Legafl ,autharities generally believe that this prohibition applies to the Lie Detector. If compelled to take a deception test against his will, a defendant • might have to give evi- clenee against 'himself. However, following the Ind;ianap- olis case, the Lie Detector can cer- tainly be voluntarily introduced by the defendant in many courts. Dean Wigmore of Northwestern Univessi- ty Law School, America's greatest authority on the law of evidence, suggested that an enlarged; blood pressure in,dicatios like a thermom- eter mV,ht be set up in the court- room, thus en!abli•ng• the jury to ob- serve directly the fluctuations of a witness' blood pressure while he tells his story on the stand. Mr. Wig- more's idea was that there could be no more legal objection to permitting a jury to watch the behavior of a witness' blood pressure than, there is to their observing his facial expres- sions or the flushing and paling of his cheeks.. Sooner or later this s'uggestiton will probably be put into practice.

When Dr. 'Henry J. Schntitt of Holdfaist, Saskatchewan, announced, back in, 1914, that he was; thinking ,of leaving town, he hadn't the slight- est idea that his remark Would not only change tihe laws of his province .and of I'Vlangtiolba 'but Would also in- itiate a wholly new kind of relation.; ship 'between doctors and patients. Dr. Schrititt was disapPointed in Holdfast. Fewer than 2,00( people lived in all the ten and a half town- ships that made up the municipality, or eounty, as we would rail it here. Hie thought he could do better in Some more populous section. 'His friends, the farmers!, agreed that probably he was right. But how about them and their families, if he left? No new doctor was likely to move into a field that had been .abian- dioned. Their !splokesman said: "We can't let you leave us with no doc- tor! Suppose one of our kids or the wife gets laid up, or one of us breaks a leg. What would you say if we paid you a good round sum punt for staying here?" The upshot was an canvass of the community and $10 a year each from 180 families, se that 1)r. Schmitt was offered $1,800 a year not to move a- way. He stayed,. The next year the -municipality couneil paid him out of general funds, although no law auth- brized the action. That was 1916. A year later the •Sasklatchewan leg- islature made legal a grant of not more than $1,54)0 frOm 'tax funds to keep a doctor at hand. To -day 54 munieipalities in Sas- katchewan and a few in aVianitoba have hired pubJtc physicians and 13 ether localities, which have held the necessary elections, are only await- ing the time when tax funds permit hiring men. Holdfast is a typical wheat coun- try town—still tiny, fbr there is no industry. The grain elevators a stere or so, a garage, a sehoci, a church—not much else. Farm homes are far apart. Dr. Schanlitt, after 15 years, moved away, to 'the regret of all. But "socialized" medicine still goes on and the Hiolcifast people are enthusiastic, not 'only abOut Dr. .Schmitt's year of service, but about their new physician, Dr. C. S. Mc- Lean. I asked him what he thought about the municipal doctor system. "Why," he said, "the old system, when I look at it now', seems , odd "and wrong. Then the doctor does well only when others are so unfortunate as to be sick. This way I don't have to wish for illness to happen to someone so that I may make a little money. Ev- ery time someone takes sick here it Costs me automobile- 'expenses to go to see him!. It's to my advantage 'to have no one sick. "It pays me to inoCulat against diphtheria, smallpox and scarlet fev- er, to catch a pair of infected tonsils before they begin to be troublesome. "I see conditions early, before the patient is critically ill. I don't know what I would do if I returned to private practice and found a patient in advanced stages of pneumonia at the first call; or an appendix ruptur- ed, or nearly so. Another advaet- age: I can go and see a patient as often as I wish without worrying how much my bill will have to be. Under the old system people would think I was trying to make the bill as large as piossible. "A municipal doctor is called need- lessly sometimes, but, on the other hand, lots of people call me up, ex- plain the situation, and leave it to me to say 'whether I will go out." 'Dr. 'McLean is paid $4,000 a year. All his services are free, except that in maternity cases he receives an in- dividual fee of $7. Antitoxims afid vaccines are furnasihed free by the province. The patients pay for their medicines. If a serious case requires a surgeon, specialist, nurse or haspi- tal treatment,, these have to be paid for on ,the usual private basis. Dr. 1VieLean".s work for a year includes 'driving about. 14,000 wiles, making 1,400 country calls, .seeing 1,500 peo- ple in his office, and attending 50 to 70 ma.ternity cases. ThIrty miles across the praities from Holdfast is Bethune, where Dr. H. V. Gillies has served on a public basis since 1927. His agreement permits a -charge of $2 for the first call on a case, This is an effective discouragement to unnecessary calls. Dr. Gillis said: "No one here wets ries about an outbreak of diphtheria or s'ca'rlet fever. All the school chil- dren -hare been inoculated. AIM, I have found among them three incipi- ent cases of tuberculosis. These youngsters are not likely to die from that cause now, because the trouble is known and we can prevent it from 'becoming serious. If I ntlyer did any- thing else, I would think just that was well worth while. Now and then I find a child with leaky heart valves and can warn -against getting over- heated and against too strentrous ex- ercise. "Up here people have a little ten- dency to diabetes •because, especially in these hard times, they eat too much carbohydrate food. Under this system a, doctor can easily keep most of these cases from growing serious by telling the people how to correct their diet," In the Hillsburgh rural municipal- ity, where the plan has been in op- eration since 1920, long enough for vital statistics to 'be affected, the death rate is exactly half what it is, on the average, for the entire pretv- ince; 5 years having elapsed without a single death from a communicable disease and not a single mother losst out of 230 childbirths. Dr. Gillies stein -rite that the picture is not perfect, fox he has received only $700 in two years towards his salary of $4,500 a year. Thit he says: "Times are bad. When it can, .the municipiality will pay. Why, dusting the influenza epidemic atter the was, when I was in private practice, my books showed more than, $14,000 coin- ing in.

I did hear that. absentee landlords object to being taxed for a service that &es not di- rectly benefit them. Probably they, resent school taxes for the same rea- son. Also, I was told, occasionally a large lambs's-neer feels he is called upon to pay an undue share of the community's Medical bill. Yet ione man who pays taxes on 1,900 acres, told r\e that the plan saves him money: "My taxes to support the doctor for the two years since we hired him are less than I had to pay three years ago, to get medical atten-o, tion for one of my children wko had a very ordinary illness. This is tb first time in rniy life I have seen all the taxpiayersharesatisfied over a rise in taxes." That rise •doesn't amount to muds: 311.50 a year for a family of five is the way it averages in .S.askatehevaan; that ,arneunt is a substitute for the $36-80 that, according to the Com- mittee on Costs bf Medical Care, in spent by the average United States rural family.
