May Revise Manpower Regulation
Ottawa, — Revised manpower regu-
lations, incorporating 'several major
changes, are expected to „receive Cab-
inet consideration this meek. The new
regulations, based primarily.on a con-
solidation resulting from .the transfer
of the military call-up---ittibin the War
Services Departinent to selective serv-

Seized Gai Coupon Books
New York, — 'Gasoline ration 'boeks
were seized and thousands of Ilicenee
numbers jotted down for possilele in-
103 such patients attending the clinic
in March, 1922, there are 71, or seven
in every ten, still alive today!
What the advent of insulin has
meant is told in undramatic statistics:
31 of the 103 died before the begin-
ning of insulin treatment in 1923. But,
a the 72 who survived to,receive the
life-saving drug, only one has died
since that tiinel From 1923 to 1942,
only one died of a disease which all
had acquired at a time when their
chance of reaching maturity was be-
lieved to be nil) Ninety-eight per
cent of these who survived to receive
the extract from the pancreag remain
alive twenty -or mere years after the
disease threatened them With loyeedy
death. Insulin gave them a g8 out
of 100 chance to keep on living.
Dr. Eisle states in his report that
none of these patients have, had any
difficulty whathoever in undergoing
surgical operations, including removal
of tonsils and adenoids, appendectom-
ies and leg amputations. They are,
he says, for the most part living and
enjoying -useful lives, Many of them
hold positions of responsibility in the
professions and crafts, and those who
are married have a total of 35 living
and, apparently healthy children. In-
terestingly enough Dr. Eisle's report
reveals that these long term diabetics
have a high educational level. Forty-
two per cent went to college as com-
pared with seven per cent f9r ordin-
ary people of the same age group.
"Like the older patient," concludes
'Dr. Eisle, "the juvenile diabetic pat-
ient has a constantly improving out-
look for life and good health with the
present day method of diabetic con-
trol and refined medical and surgical
tteatment."

BRITISH CONDUCT
EATING PLACES
A recent report front a correspon-
dent in London, England, to the Can-
adian Medical Association Journal
states that at the present time there
are 1,400 "British Restaurants" in
operation' in Great Britain under the
direction of Lord Woolton; Minister
of FOod. These restaurants:serve 94
million meals per week.
The report goes on to say that the
policy of these special establishments
is to supply in otte meal a third of the
day's requirements of protein and cal-
odes and two-thirds of the vitamins
and mineral salts. One of the dif-
acuities confronting the authorities in
the achievement of this is the differ-
ent groups of people to be supplied,
varying from factory workers to
school children, The former have

Heating Your Home
Correct Regulation, of Dampers
EV E4Y
furnace should be
equipped with three dampers
—the ash-pit damper, the turn
damper, and the check damper.
The ash-pit damper is located
near the base of the furnace be-
low the grate level. The butterfly
or turn damper is located in the
smoke-pipe between the check
damper and the
boiler. The check
damper is in the
smoke-pipe be-
tween the turn
damper and the
chimney.
The turn damp-
er regulates the
amount of air that
passes through
the fire. It should
be.closed as tight-
ly as possible up
to the point where
odors do not seep
in to the basement. The ash-pit
damper when open permits the
to enter the ash-pit. When
closed this supply is cut off. The
cheek damper is the fiap-like
damper in the chimney pipe.
This damper when open retards
