Edited by GRANT FLEMING, M.D., Associate Secretary INFECTION Infection is a term which is used to describe the implantation of dis- • ease in the body from without. In this sense, theuse of the term im- plies the communication or transfer of disease by a living agent or dis- ease germ. Disease germs are so small as to be invisible to the naked eye. Through the microscope, many of then can be seen and identified, but some of them are too small for even the most powerful microscope to magnify sufficiently to allow of their being seen. ' Outside of the body, disease germs • do no harm, They must first gain • entrance to the body, and this they do in one of three ways. They may be breathed in, or swallowed, or they may enter through a break ' 'in the skin. Because they are so minute, the break in the skin need only be. of ;microscopic size to allow germs to penetrate. As far as we know, disease germs do not grow, and multiply in nature outside of the human or animal body, Some of them are hardier' or more resistant than others, but they do, in general, die fairly quickly outside. • of the human or animal body. Like plants, germs require moisture ;to live; drying, especially' in sunshine, destroys them, The important prac- tical point isthat, in most instances, disease germs are spread direct' by the fresh, germ -laden secretions of the sick person. There is danger in the use of ar- ticles recently soiled by secretions. The common drinking -cup is a real menace, because there is not time for the germs deposited in the saliva of one user to die before the cup is placed to the lips of another, and so the saliva of the first passes into the mouth of the second, carrying any disease germs which the saliva may have contained. Nevertheless, our real danger .lies in the coughs,. sneezes and loud talking which throw particles front the mouth and nose into the faces of those around, If yott want to appreciate this. clanger, stand in front of a clean mir- ror. Cough, sneeze and talk at the mirror; then observe the deposit of droplets on its surface. Try this standing at various distances and see how' many feet you throw these drop- lets; in this way, you nave a practa= cal demonstration of what the un- covered sneeze and cough mean to those who come within the range of droplet fire. When the germs gain entrance to our bodies and establish themselves, we become infected. When we begin to pass the germs out, we are infec- tious. The infectious person is to be avoided unless he takes the pre, cautions necessary, to protect others, Questions concerning Health, ad dressed to the Canadian Medical As sociation, 184 College Street, Toron to, will be answered personally by letter.` %//7/ - i a C7 •scan. .

MONTRRAL whims of others, those who will give up their own desires for others but will not for a moment let you forget, the fact that they have done so; they are martyrs to the pleasure of oth- ers. In any family or in any group of people ane has often to give up one's will to others, 'but it may be done cheerfully and one can then en» ter into •the others' project • with en- thusiasm, not with the spirit of the martyr. It may not always be ne. cessary for the "martyr" to give up her plan. It may be her plain duty to stick to it and make others give up sometimes, if she were playing fair and not trying to parade this martyr spirit. We are supposed to help others a- long our earthly pilgrimage, to give up our own pleasure or profit, even, forof the sake others. But unless we do it with cheerfulness, hiding'. our disappointment and entering in- to the mood of the others, I do not believe we deserve much praise. It is a good idea for us occasional- ly to look into our own motives and our own actions and see that we are not needlessly and foolishly martyr- ing ourselves to no good and the ex - theme annoyance of our families and friends. —RIs3EKAIi, St. Patrick was a Scot by Fred Williams in The Mail and Empire, Mar. 17th, 1931 Do You Know thaf Saint Patrick, whom Irishmen the world over honor to -day, was a Scot? He was the son of a deacon and the grandson of , a presbyter, born at "Banavem Taber niae," which we know as Dumbarton on the Clyde. The date would be to- wards the end of the fourth century. When Patrick was 16 years old he was captured by raiders and carried as a slave to Ireland. The place of his captivity was (we are told by iitev. S. E. MeKegney, professor of church history at Huron College, in the Can. adian Churchman) probably Slemish about 20 miles northwest of the pre- sent city of Belfast, There he passed through a great spiritual experience+, To use his own words: "Tending flocks was my daily occupation; and constantly I used to pray in the day - tine. Love of God and the fear of Flim increased more and' more, and faith grew, and the spirit was moved, so that in one day I would say as many as a hundred prayers end at n s night nearly as many, o that I used to stay even in the woods and on the mountain to this end. And before daybreak I used to be roused to pray. ern in snow, in frost, in rain; and I feltno hurt: nor was there any slug- gishness in me --as I now see, because then the spirit was fervent in me." In time Patrick escaped from slay- ery and rejoined his relatives where he made up his mind to be ordained and become a missionary to the Irish. He became a priest, but his superiors. sought to restrain his desire to go to Ireland to preach the Gospel; but the purpose remained with him, and eventually his ambition was realized. In 432 he was consecrated a bishop and he and companions landed on the coast of Wicklow, but, meeting with a hostile reception, took to their boats and made their way up the east coast, passing the present Dublin Bay, the mouth - of the Boyne and Carling -ford Lough. They finally dis- embarked on the coast of County Dotvn near the mouth of Strongford Lough. The local chief gave thein welcome and his barn in which to hold services.On the site of that barn has stood for 1,500 years the lit- tle parish church of Saul, where he died and was buried. Bishop Patrick at one time made a daring move. He visited Tara where periodically a chief king was elected with much, ceremony and amid many Druidical rtes. The King's Throne on these occasions now forms partof the coronation chair in 'Westminster Abbey, whence it travelled by way of Seofland to which it was taken as booty and 'then to London. Bishop Patrick had' no fear as, he went to the headquarters of heathen- dom in ,Ireland. He knew God was with him, and declared that Divine influence .converted the King (Lae-; ghaire) to permit hint to preach to the people, with the result .that the seeds of ,Christianity were sown. The way was,ready for the good bishop to go everywhere preaching of Christ crucified. Before. his death ,Ireland was praltically evangelized, and be- came known as the ."Land of Saints and Scholars." Her missionaries went forth to all W,esteru Europe, a- nion: there -St. Columba, who preach- ed in Scotland; St.Aidan, in tiie north of England; St. Columbanus, in France, and St. Gall, in Switzerland There appears to be some doubt as to the year of his death; scene au- onowenatkeroecoors WOMEN I+ Household G Economics thorities give it as. 493, others as 460;. but there is no doubt as to the month- and day, which is Why March 17 is Ireland's day, now celebrated not on- ly by the sons and daughters of Ire- land and their descendants, but by men and women of every nationaity, who take pride in the mighty achieve- ments of the Irish race, in the church, in state, on the world's battlefields,. and in the arts of peace, especially in literature.

EDEN AND PARADISE BOTH IN NOVA SCOTIA If you are an optimist and should be looking for perfection you can find both Paradise and Garden of Eden in Nova Scotia. The state of the places is no guarantee but the names are. Paradise is located at the junction of the Paradise and Annapolis Riv- ers, along the northwest shore of Nova Scotia. It is an early French settlement. Garden of Eden is just 25 miles from New Glasgow, a that mining centre, Garden of Eden had its Adam who lived to a great age and near ' the community are to be founcl Mount Adam and Eden Lake. There appears to be no sign .of Eve, but trout, .salmon, moose and deer make the area a;ceptable to the the . sportsman, even without Eve. SHA:FORTH: The death occurred at the :Scott.

PATRICK'S DAY Quaint are the legends that descend to. us, Full of the deeds of that brave man of old, Who, sent a slave to Erin's heathen shore, .

So simple is the earth we tread, So quick with life and love her frame, ' Ten thousand a d year shave dawned and fled, And still her magic is the same. A little love, a little trust, A soft impulse, a sudden dream— And life, as dry as desert dust, Is fresher than a mountain stream. So simple is the heart of man, So ready formed forr hopeand joy, Ten thousand year's since it began Have left it younger than a boy. —Selected, STAR -TALK "Are you awake, Gement, This frosty night " "We'll be awake till reveille, Which is Sunrise," say the Gemelli, "It's no good trying to go to sleep: If there's wine to be got we'll drink it deep, But rest is hopeless to -night, But rest is hopeless to -night."
