Earthquake Shocks Felt The wilderness between Quebec City and Saguenay River, 125 miles to the north, was believed by Dr. E. A. Hodgson, Dominion seismologist, to have absorbed the shock of a ma­ jor earthquake, which probably would have caused wide destruction and loss of life if it had occurred in a populat­ ed centre. Dr. Hodgson stated late yesterday that he believed the epi­ centre of the quake to lie in that area. and after breaking it, there’s no trick at all to slip back t.o smoking the old one.

J, Lipton Limited, Lipton Bldg Toronto Man some animals, for j example fishes, taste with the whole body. An infant tastes with the middle part of his ton­ gue and an adult determines with the sides of his tongue whether food is pleasing or not. Food is tasted by means of the taste buds of which the cow has about 15,000, the antelope 50,000 apd man about 3,000. The whale has very few taste buds and gulps its food so quickly that it does not bother about the taste. Among horned cattle, taste is important, and they Scrupulously select the grasses they like. We know four, distinct tastes: sweet, salty, bitter and sour. The sweet taste is pereceived on the ton­ gue the quickest, because the taste buds for sweets are located at the tip of the tongue; then comes salty and sour tastes. Bitter things are tasted at the back of the tongue. 7 Taste can be regluated. Warm cof­ fee requires less sugar than cold, be­ cause warmth is a stimulant to the taste buds. No matter how much sug­ ar is added to ice cream it will not seem too sweet, because when cooled the taste buds scarcely function. If the tongue is rubbed with ice, one fails to perceive different tastes, a good method in taking bitter drugs. Taste's a fine sense. It can be train­ ed. Tea tasters are able to tell the place of origin of a tea after a single tasting. Wine tasters can tell from where a certain variety of wine came and also whether the grapes from which it was made grew in a sunny or a shady field.

PHIL OSIFER OF , LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J* Boyle “THAT PIPE” Along about this time of year when the wood bok has to be filled and knidlitig made ready for the inurhing, arid there’s apples piled high in box­ es on the vetauda, and the garden slttff is practically all itt, the question of my pipe occupies a prominent po­ sition in the household chatter here She she at Lazy Meadows. ’ During the summer months when the doors are open and there’s plenty of fresh air coming in through the house, the aroma of my pipe is not in such disfavor. Then too, I naturally 1 adjourn to the back woodshed for a smoke after meals.- Mrs. Phil careful­ ly doses the door opening into the woodshed. Btu now that the closed door days of winter are approaching Mrs. Phil begins a careful campaign about my pipe. At first there are gentle hints about the smell of "that pipe”. Fail­ ing to receive any response to that she mentions the pipes they have catalogue for a cents. Wouldn’t favourite "bull dog” shape?- Still no response. "Phil, I wish you would stop smok­ ing hay in that old pipe,” is the next comment. When I indignantly reply that I am smoking a good brand of tobacco, she “hmmphs” and suggests that it’s probably “that pipe.” mutter in dire sotto. voice that tobacco would probably taste and smell better in a decent pipe. .The next move in her plan includes forbidding me to smoke it when com­ pany is present. After a good meal I will instinctively reach for the win­ dow sill and pick up the pipe, and as I’m lighting up Mrs. Phil will ask the company in her chilliest tones, "Don’t you find it stuffy in here?” Invariab­ ly the company will reply that they think it’s-just cosy, and they’ll even, in some cases, if it’s a gushing woman visitor, remark how pleasant it is to see a man smoking a pipe in place of horrid cigarettes. Then comes the period of threats. She’s going to boil my pipe to make it clean. If it’s on the window sill she avoids it by about six: feet. In the most descriptive adjectives she fore­ tells what it will be like in the house during the winter months. Great black clouds of smoke that Would smother an army will be billowing round the small confines of the house, blacken­ ing up the walls and curtains and making the mere fact of living a tor­ ture. If I continue to use that pipe in the wintertime we’ll have to im­ port gas masks such as they have in England. At last I compromise and buy a new pipe, but the old one ist carefully secreted in a hiding place where I can secure it at a moment’s notice. My new pipes have a very short per­ iod of life. Something always seems to happen to them. I drop lean on them . . , and they Some psychologist should to the matter of a man and After carefully breaking it in and get­ ting it to a mellow point, he is al­ ways reluctant to give it up. He be­ comes gradually used to its very strongest moments, ahd he never not­ ices the strange odours that bother other people so much. All he -notices is that it smokes well. Perhaps after smoking for a while a pipe just naturally becomes molded in line with a man. He gets used to the feel of- it in his hand, and the feel of the Stem between his teeth. That pipe just naturally fits in with his happy spells and his thinking spells . . . and he forms the same attach­ ment for it that he forms for an old hat.

One reads in the newspapers that an important man of business has suddenly died of acute indigestion. It is a doubtful diagnosis. One thinks that he died of some heart affection, aggravated possibly by too heavy meals, too much tobacco or alcohol, papers are, on occasion, be charitable. Perhaps it is as well. The heart and stomach are close neighbours. They obtain their nour­ ishment from the same source, the blood.. They get their "pep” from a common origin, the nerves; if one or­ gan is healthy, the other shares in this health as well as in the ill-health of one or the other. Both acute and chronic indigestion are" abdominable. They make the vic­ tim uncomfortable and morbid. He is apt to think, of heart disease, cancer or other serious ailment. Acute indigestion is invariably due to the ingestion of too much food, improper food or food that is "spoil­ ed." A man (or woman), eats a hearty i i dinner at his favourite restaurant or club. Six or seven hours later, he is fearfully ill. He has fever, pains in the stomach, nausea, vomiting and perhaps diarrhoea. He has a feeling of impending death. Occasional cas- ,. es of this food poisoning are fatal in j for a year or two until the heart’s 24 hours. Usually the attack is over j blood supply becomes completely shut in a day or two.
