If Professor Aaron Cheswick was
famous, he was not aware of this
fact, 13e was too busy with his
experiments in the field of chemis-
try, with teaching the undergradu-
ates of Mapleridge College the
rudiments of elementary science,
with writing papers and books in
which he set forth (in an almost
apologetic style) the results of his
experiments, and with reading
avidly the works of such great sci-
entists as Mons. Oliver Davillier
and Senor Alfrerdo Valle Indan,
both of whom had long ago won
his respect and admiration.
He was an unpretentious looking
little man, this Professor Cheswick,
with pale blue eyes and horn -
rimmed glasses and a pasty • com-
plexion. He wasn't one to attract
attention or to assert himself. He
went about with a perpetual far-
away look In his eyes.
* * *
There carte a lime when a prob-
lem presented itself that challenged
his skill and knowledge. He labored
over it for days. The days became
weeks and the weeks months. At
last, worn and haggard, the little
ratan was ready to admit defeat.
Time after time he returned to
it only to find himself defeated.
He was an unpretentious look-
ing man, this Professor Ches-
wick.
He visited every library within
miles, read every book by Davillier
and Inclan, as well as other great
scientists that was available, but
without finding the answer.
In the end, Professor Cheswick
had an idea. It was summer. He
needed a vacation. Why not take
a month off, visit Europe and per-
haps call on Davillier and Indan
and ask thein personally to clear up
the :natter that so burdened his
mind?
A week later Professor Cheswick
sailed for France. The little school
teacher was a lonely figure, He
struck up a few acquaintances. He
wasn't, the type to attract people.,
But he enjoyed the trip. This was
something he had never done be-
fore.
He . was glad when the boat
docked. Eagerly he looked ahead to
his meeting with Mons. Davillier. .
'But alas! The next day Professor
Cheswick learned that Mons. Davil-
lier had gone to America for his
summer holiday and was not ex-
pected to return for another month.
The little scientist was depressed
and disappointed. His time was
short. Madrid, where lived Senor
Indan was a long way off. Yet it
oould be reached, he thought sud-
denly and excitedly, by plane in a
very short while.
He was delighted to learn bhat
Senor Indan was in Madrid. Yes,
it was difficult to obtain an inter-
view with the great man. He was
constantly being pressed for inter-
views. What was it the American
wanted to see him about? A prob-
lem? As, yes, Senor Indan was re-
quested to solve so many problems.
It was very, very doubtful if he
would grant an interview for such
a slight matter. Howevot•, if the
American would care to take his
chances, Senor Indan was to appear
at a reception on Tuesday night.
Possibly there would be an oppor-
tunity to askItis question
*
* *
Professor Cheswick attended the
reception. He stood in line for
hours, a quiet, unassuming, unim-
portant looking little man, waiting
for his chance to speak to the great
Senor Indan. It came at last. At
last the Mapleridge school teacher
and scientist stood before the man
he respected more than anyone else
in the world.
He was so overcome by awe
that for a moment he just stared,
Senor Muton frowned' impatiently
and Professor Cheswick found itis
voice. He stated his question. The
Sector's brows arched in surprise.
"An unusual question, Senor," he
said,"Frankly, I cannot answer it.
There is only one than in the world
with enough knowledge and learn-
ing to finch the answer. He is one
of your own countrymen. My good
friend Mons. Davillier is at this
moment in America seeking an in.
tet•view with this wizard whom the
Whole scientific world respects and
admires, yet who is so absorbedin
his work that it is difficult to per -
glade him to appear in public. I

of Maplericige College"

PO FOOD DYES
CAUSE CANCER?
In 1895 Prof. Ludwig Rehn call-
ed the attention of German sur-
geons to his important discovery
that out of forty-five workers in
an aniline -dye plant three had suc-
cumbed to cancer of the bladder.
His observations were verified later
in Germany, Switzerland and Eng-
land. When the United States en-
tered 'World War I and began to
make its own dyes, cut off' from
Germany as it was, American
statistics of bladder cancer in ani-
line -plant workers added more evi-
dence.
Today, attain-, azo and other
coal -tar dyes are recognized can-
cer -inciters. All are synthetics, and
most of them have no counterparts
in nature, There are about 600,000
compounds of carbon which were
unknown a century ago, and of
these several hundred can generate
cancers of the liver, bladder,
stoiitach, lungs or other organs. Of
the dyes the one that has been
studied most thoroughly is "but-
ter yellow," so-called because of its.
color. Mix it with the food of a rat,
and cancer of the liver invarably
follows in the absence of protec-
tive agents,
Inspired by the work done with
organic cancer -inciters and with
special reference to the studies of
Rehn and Itis successors, Prof,
K, 1i. Lauer of Heidelberg hoisted
a clanger signal before the recent
Congress of German Surgeons held
in Frankfort on the Main and in-
duced his colleagues to adopt re-
solutions demanding that the use
of known cancer -producing corn -
pounds in food ite forbidden, writes
Waldemar Kaempffert in The New
York Times.
Lauer concludes that one cause
of cancer certainly lies outside of
the body. That cause bears some re-
lation to what he calls the "me-
chanization and cltetnicalization of
the cttviromnent." It has been
shown that some cancer -inciters
can be produced by the body itself,
but, thinks Bauer, the increase in
the use of physical and chemical
poisons of the coal -tar synthetic
type and the increase in cancer is
not accidental.
13y "poisons" Bauer means coal,
oil, tar, pitch, soot and many of
their chemical derivatives, as well
as some metals, X-rays, the radia-
tions of radium and radio -active
isotopes. He pictures the chemist
as a Pandora who has opened the
box from which scores of cancer -
producing "poisons" have escaped.
All this does not mean that can-
cer is to be accepted fatalistically,
but that the time has conte to take
preventive measures. Despite all the

An Ontario woman, Mrs. C. Jer-
emy of Coldwater, Ont„ won a
prize of $100 at the Canadian Na-
tional Exhibition just because site
baked the best apple pie—or rather
two of them—in the opinion of the
judges. There were 17 judges—all
male and each a master baker—
and they had to select the best
from 58 different entries.
Probably you've heard all about
this long ago; but I thought you
might like to see, and cut out, the
recipe for what the judges said
was "the beat pie they had ever
tasted anywhere." So here you
have it.
For two pies Mrs. Jeremy always
uses:

And that second last sentence
tempts me to end with the very
ancient tale about the woman who
had a servant that was—well, to
put it mildly, rather sloppy. One
day Biddy came itt and asked how
she would know when some pud-
dings, boiling on the stove, were
done. She was told to stick a fork
into then:. If it carte out cleatt, the
cooking was finished.

woman, "if the fork DOES happen

"catch cancer early" campaigns of
the United States, campaigns that
arouse Bauer's approval and ad-
miration, over 80 per cent of all
cancer cases run their fatal course.
That the prevention' of cancer
is not a utopian impossibility Bauer
proves by citing the decline in can-
cer mortality in aniline -days .works
where protective measures have
been taken. In fact, aniline cancer
is now seldom seen in German
chemical plants,
But what of the general popula-
tion? Were, Bauer asks, do cancers
occur most frequen"y? In the in-
testinal tract, The connection with
food and drink is obivous.
Condemns Food Coloring
Bauer says that cancer of the
stomach and tongue is especially
prevalent in high -living proprietors
of German bars and in restaurant
waifers. Even in the general popu-
lation of Western countries cancer
occurs more often in the intestimal
tract that: in any other part of the
body. Bauer regards it as signifi-
cant that in oriental rice -eating
countries, where much less artifl-
cally colored or chemically "doc-
tored" food is consumed than in
the West, cancer of the stomach is
much less frequent.
Bauer holds up "butter yellow"
as an example of what happens.
Here we have an azo dye, which
in Germany is mixed with butter
to give it an attractive color. He
does not see why it is necessary to
color butter at all, but if it must
be done why not use carotene?
The answer is that carotene is much
too expensive. About a fornight be-
fore Bauer read his paper, laws
were enacted to forbid the use of
synthetic butter yellow and other
dyes in German butter, cheese and
margarine. Bauer approves. He
would go further and forbid the
use of known cancer -producers in
any kind of food sold over the
counter or in a restaurant.

LESSON
By Rev, R. Barclay Warren
GOD AND THE NATIONS
Isaiah 1:21.28; 19:23
Golden Text: Look unto me, and
be ye saved, all the ends of the
earth; for I am God, and there
is none else, Isaiah 45:22.
God deals with individuals but
He also deals with nations, Isaiah
begins his lament of Isreal by not-
ing its moral decay. Justice was not
executed in the courts. Those in
high places receive,' bribes. But
Israel was to be purified, The city
which was now an harlot would
become a city of righteousness;
transgressors and sinners would be
destroyed. But God was dealing
with other nations, too. He would
smite but He would heal. Isaiah
saw that the Messiah would be the
Redeemer for all nations. Thus he
brought God's message, "Look unto
me, and be ye saved, all the ends
of the earth." He, Jesus Christ, is
the only !tope for this troubled
world. Esther B. York, has said it
in poetry in War Cry.
"There is a Stranger in tate council
hall
Where strangers meet to plan tite
peace again.
He sits unnoticed by the farther
wall,
His eyes upon the leaders among
men.
His ears attend their clearly laid
designs
For living in tomorrow's homes and
marts,
As though, beneath their spoken
words and lines,
He hears the inner voices of their
hearts.
But when the delegates of all the
world
Have cried their million wants—
and lists are long—
After the blueprints, charts and
plans are hurled
In varied protests at the core of
wrong,
He is our Hope; He is the Peace
we seek,
Oh, listen world, and let the
Stranger speak!

Remember a few weeks ago I
told you I had lost my glasses and
I suspected the pup may have run
off with them? Well, I had no proof
either one way or the other as I
never did find the glasses, Finally
I got new ones attd just after that
all the papers were advertising a
contraption by which you could
keep your glasses hanging around
your neck. I felt it must have been
invented for me—anyway I didn't
waste any time in buying one of
the doo-dads so now I really
know where to find my second eyes.
Oh dear, there is so much to
write about these days ... I have
had exciting news about the West
—but then there is also plenty go-
ing on in the East, to say nothing of
the glorious rain the last two days
which is just exactly what we want-
ed on top of our freshly sown
wheat, Of course, I am still up to
the eyes in canning, but as for
pickles, I haven't got so much as
one jar put way yet. Even so, I
went on strike one day last week
and went to our W.I. Convention
at Guelph. I hadn't been to a con-
vention for fifteen years—not since
we left the Toronto area. It was
interesting, and inspiring and friend-
ly. Miss Lewis and Mrs. Futcher
were there and it was my privilege
to meet both of them for a few
minutes. They both have such
pleasing personalities, and yet each
is so different from the other. Miss
Lewis has such a delightful and
tactful way of showing up the
wrong way of running Institute
affairs without making any one per-
son or branch conspicuous or
recognizable. Not only that but she
is big enough, and generous enough,
to admit it if she herself happens to
be slightly at fault. We had proof
of that last Thursday when there
was a little difference of opinion
regarding the adoption of a report.
Mrs. Futcher, provincial presi-
dent, is so full of enthusiasm for
W. I. work that it permeates her
every word and action. She carries
her audience along with her making
everyone feel that to belong to the
W.I. is a privilege that no one
should miss, and that every mem-
ber should do her part to make this
great orgaization greater even yet.
But yet, being an Institute member
these days isn't as simple as it used
to be, Like everything else it be-
comes more involved and compli-
cated all the time. Gone are the
days when a few women could get
together for a meeting and feel
they had done all that was requir-
ed of them if the minutes were read
'and approved; a demonstration of
cookies given, and a paper written
and read by one of the members.
followed, of course, by a friendly
cup of tea interspersed with lively
chatter and good natured gossip.
We have greater opportunities in
our branches now, but, hand in hand
with these opportunities are greater
obligations. We are able to learn so
much about arts and crafts, but this
knowledge must also be imparted
to others and details 'of our parti-
cipation be sent to Head Office.
Thus the more we do, the greater
our activity in any way, the more
we have to report. Each branch is
morally obligated to share with
other branches information about
the work it is doing. Only in that
way are we a part of the Institute
as whole. It is a case of wheels
within wheels—a fact that is
brought home to us more and more
when we attend district annuals
and area conventions. Maybe I am
mixing metaphors a bit when I
speak of wheels and branches .
but you know, there is a lot to
think about In that one word
"branch." The dictionary defines
branch as part of a bough; and a

So the various W.I. branches scat-
tered far and wide are part of the
provincial bough s; provincial
boughs that have grown front that
great tree which was planted fifty
years ago by Mrs, Adelaide Hood -
leas, and which took such firm root
in its native soil that neither wind,
storm nor adversity of any kind
has had any effect upon it whatso-
ever. The tree has been fet'tllized
by the zeal and Interest of thous-
ands so that now its branches
spread from shore to shore. Carry-
ing the analogy atIll further we
might think of W.I. members as
the leaves upon the various branch-
es—leaves without which the tree
could not live. Old leaves have
their day and fall but newer,
younger leaves take' their place—
and the life of the tree goes on,
i• while its roots spread and delve
further and further into the fertile
soil, Neither should we forget that
twigs from parent branches have
been planted and propagated in
other countries, gradually taking
root; growing independently but yet
recognizable as belonging to the
same species that had its origin in
Canada.
