1931 and the beginning of 1932,
-when the ski teams of the Univer-

'held their Inter -Varsity meet on
British soil for the first time.
'Hitherto the famous 'British Uni

winter sports differences in Swit-

Experimental work at Lethbridge,
Alta., shows that to 'ensure a fair
measure of success , in the .kitchen
garden on the dry land farm it must
be prepared at least one year ahead.
Superintendent W. H. Fairfield, M.
Sc., LL.D., in his annual report just
issued points out that it is desirable
to reserve twice the area desired; to
apply well rotted manure to the part
to be summer -(allowed just before
ploughing; to cultivate just enough to
curb weed growth; to plough about
eight inches deep; to make rows wide
enough apart to perinit the use of

now made up of related combinat-

ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
With the ' approach of old age,
changes in the arteries are to be ex-
pected on account of their constant
use over a period of years. The
change which we know as arteriosc-
lerosis, or hardening of the arteries,
means that the walls of the arteries
have becomethick and inelastic.
When this change occurs in mid-
dle life, we have what may be called
premature old age, for it has been
said with truth that a man isas old
as his arteries.. The change is gener-
ally associated with changes in other
parts which may be either the cause
or the result, of the altered condition
of the arteries.
Hardening of the arteries follows
poisoning of the body. Alochol and
lead are systematic poisons. Another
form of poisoning is by the .toxins
given off by gernis which are present
in the body. The toxins may come,
from a focus of infection, such as dis-
eased teeth, or they may be the :tox-
ins given off by the germs of syph-
ills or some acute infection.
Overwork of some part of the body
leads to an early wearing out of the
body machine, and this may mean
early hardening of the arteries. Per-
haps the most usual way in which the
body is made to overwork is through
evereating. Another cause is living
at high pressure under mental strain.
It is evident that if wewish to
keep our arteries young, which means
elastic, it is necessary for us to live
a life of rnuderatlon. Discretion in
eating and drinking, attention to the
simple rules of healthy living, 'to
work and to play. This is better than
trying to crowd a whole lifetiin:c into
a few years, then to spend the re-
mainder of life handicapped by a pr'-
inaturely worn-out body.
Those individuals in whom the con-
dition has 'developed must face the
situation; they must adjust their lives
to meet new conditions. If they do
so they can. enjoy a life of restricted,
activity.
Life for such individuals rnust be
gttiet, well -regulated and without in-
dulgence to excess in'food -or drink.
Excesses of any kind, whether phy-
sical exertion,. mental worry,- anger' or
'excitement,must be avoided.
'rhe prevention of hardening of
the arteries lies in a hygienic life, the
avoidance ofexcesses, reasonable at-
tention to diet, and the early treat-
ment of any infectious condition. Ab-
use of .the body results in harm. The,.
body cannot suffer abuse to -day and
have it made up for by extra care
to -morrow. Abuse leaves permanent
scars which lead to an early wearing
out, or premature old age.
Questions :concerning Health, ad-
dressed to the. Canadian Medical As-
sociation, 184 College St., Toronto,
will be answered personally by letter.
are probably not quite so satisface-
cry as they might be, production is
definitely expanding and the farmer
knows exactly where he stands re-
lative to prices, that is to say: Cana-
dian prices are world prices, and are
not likely to be seriously affected by
any consistent increase in production.
