Board of Health, Ontario Dr, Middleton will be glair to answer questions on Public Health mat. tees through this column. Addrasa him at Spadina House, Spadiu4 " Crescent, -Toronto. The, study of diets itl their relation to disease has been up to the present a`sadly ,neglected subject. In all pro - g •essive countries, however," there is pat the present time anextraordinary interest being taken in the question of dieting, particularly; as regards the causation of certain diseases, the origin of which ' has hitherto been somewhat obscure. ' Much of the food eatento-day is not ofthe right' kind to promote and maintain good health. It is deficient in fat-soluble vitamins,. because through habit or custom, large numbers -of people are not par- ticularly fond of green vegetables, milk, cheese or eggs., When the ques- tion"of green vegetables is mentioned many people shrug their shoulders and say.they could not get accustomed to hay.- Little' do they know how es- sential green vegetables are in keep- ing the diet properly: balanhed so that food health may be maintained.' The ordinary diet consists:, largely of bread,, butcher's meat, potatoes, jam, tea and=coffee, 'Milk is often ;neglect ed, and, yet milk should form a larger part of -our diet than is at present the case., The problem of such a commonplace thing as defective teeth ' would be Solved by greater attention. being paid to the diet of children, and the de- cline in infant mortality is "largely due to the 'instruction in infant. feed- ing which, now forms -such a large: part of ifant welfare work.. The experience of many observers has proved that the number of rickety children has considerably decreased since dried milk was used in prefer- ence to patent roods. Cod liver oil is known tobe espe- 'eially rich in,some of, the essential vitarnines, ansome authorities urge that cod liver oil and :milk should be provided at all -welfare centres. Buttermilk is a food that should be used much more extensively. •In cases of chronic, gastric catarrh it is much more suitable than fresh milk. • An authority thus refers to the use of buttermilk: "When the ,patient is hungry, let him eat buttermilk; when he is thirsty, let, him drink butter- nuik"; ' and he' suggests, as an ; ex- planation of the brilliant as that sometimes follow its adoption, that fresh mills is perhaps not so .Well borne, because it readily curdles in tl e stomach, and forms large, flim lumps, i while in buttermilk the casein is al- ready curdled, but 'finely divided, Polar Air Line to East Planned by Stefansson. Air routes across the polar -regions, between England and the Far East, will be established ifVtljalmur'Stet- ensson, the Arctic explorer, Is able to convince the British government of the merits of the scheme, which he ar- rived here" to 'advocate, says a London despatch. The explorer claims' that flying conditions in the .polar area are asgood as in any other part of the world, and palls for a new imperial outlook on the policy of opening` up a short route to the Far East. Stressing the great saving in time which would be effected, Stefansson pointed out that the distance from Lon- don to Tokio- by the " trans -Siberian route is 9,557 miles, while that across the polar regions would be 4,960 miles -a saving of practically half. He already has placed his views be- fore the Canadiau government at Ot- tawa.

D; Longfellow, American Red Cross, and a veteran Scout. •Ile says; Though never used tor the ordinary ha9ldkerchief purposes, the colored neckerchief of the Scout uniform is an' interesting piece of 'equipment:; Tied •lir, a "four -hi -hand, a sailor's kerchief, knot, or worn with a "napkin ring" slide of metal, leather or bark, it is a familiar method ' of troop or patrol identification. Contrary to the plains custom, it is, commonly worn whir the broad point in the 'back and the long ends tiedunder the chin, Worn in bright colors it serves as an emergency signal flag; some Scouts havo ,a pocket sewn in one hem. It can hfolded to serve as a: temporary sock on a hike, after' the army style, and the neckerchiefs of a troop can be used as. extra lashings for staves in making temporary barrier bridge or tower. Scout troops have the neckerchiefs In. special calor -combinations, The plan of tying an overhand knot fn the neck gear until` the daily, good turn is accomplished is all to be commended, If the tie is fastened in.a single over- hand knot,,11.aejel cone undone often enough to remind "tile Scout of his un; accomplished) good turn.
