HEALTH EDUCATION
BY DR. J. J. MIDDLETON

Dr. Middleton will be glad to answer questions on, Public Health mat-
ters
attern through this column. Address him at Spedina House, Spadlna
Crescent, Toronto.
Obesity in all cases results from a
disturbance of nutrition. Too much
food of all kinds is eaten and not
enough' exercise is taken. The body
cannot burn the food up into the'final
products of combustion—carbon dip t
ide and water. The -human System, as
a result, -uses a makeshift. It con -
Vests the excess of food,' particularly
the starchy foods, into fat and stores
it in the tissues. There is no .neces-
sity for this storing up of fat. If-Iess
food were,taken and at ,not so fre-
quent intervals, if the body were
giventime and opportunity to oxidize
the food by work A would take the

heredity-----it-should be looked on as a
disease, Double clans :and rolls of at
on the back of the neck are danger
signs and should be heeded. Those'
who develop excess 'weight _must take
advice and be on the alert to ward off 1
kidney or heart affections, and cer-
tainly must draw the line at stimuli of all kinds.-
Indolence and disinc>inatioli to ex-
ercise should be strenuously combated.
Too much sleep or. idle lying about
should not be encouraged. In most
cases 'people •can fight cif fat if they
are determined and persistent in their'
efforts. e

who love pleasure and ease have their
pleasure spoiled by the fat that -they

raees where, on recount of the heat
and general languor of existence, lit-
tle or no exercise is taken, obesity is
eomragn. Excessive weight is not only
a roar to looks but a -positive hin-
drance to the comfort and enjoyment

The treatment for obesity is along
the above lines. The diet should con-
tain as little as possible of starch and
s -sugar, The daily menu should consist
largely of bulky foods containing lit-
. tie starch or sugar. • For instance,. a
breakfast might, as an example, con-
sist of fresh fruit with 'a very . small
amount of dry toast and;in some cases,
no toast at all. For lunch the meal
should consist largely of "succulent

may consist of lean meat, one or two
non -starchy vegetables and•some stale
or toasted bread.

Interesting Boys in Music.:,•
The following are a few suggestions
which may prove helpful to those en-
gaged in advancing the interests of
music among boys at mid -week group
sessions or meeting:
If you. have a pianist, spend .a 'few.
moments now and agaiufnging seine
of the,sougs that appear on your song
sheet.
Try an informal sing song around
the piano after tiie meeting proper is
over. Spine boys are very, shy at hear-
ing their own voices in song, and the
advantage of the inform,al_aproaeh is
that it is liable to make the boy. `feel
more at home.-
Cenemence with the better known
songs:
Find out what they know well.
Discourage hollering, but do not be
too academic.
Close with oiie of the finer songs,
such as "Just•. a Song at Twilight" or -a
good, old hymn that the boysknow,
such as "Faith of Our Fathers" or "I
Need Thee Every Hour." -
Iu coneci`ion with sacred songs, try
to put more content and meaning into
hymns. Link them -up, -if possible;
with the lives of -the men who wrote
them. Make the boys acquaintecd•with
file circumstances 'under which they
are written. A hymn will mean far
more to a boy when it has been linked
up with the human element. A hymn
that once was meaningless suddenly
becomes purposeful under`this method.
Other suggestions might be added,
but the above, - if closely follows 1,
should tend to improve the.-ndivrtigal-
boy's taste along musical lines.
When You'Cut Your Finger.
.A well-known doctor gives advice: on
the treatment of a cut linger. Here is
what he says:
First of all, thoroughly cleanse
cut; of dirt and foreign matter.. \V Z {t.
water is the hest, because, it encotsz
ages bleeding slightly, whibh, in itselY, ;
does good. But if there is -profuse
bleeding use either cold or very hot;
water both of which -check bleeding.
Thoroughly disinfect the cut to des-
troy any germs that may be present.
There are several equally good pre-
parations for doing this; a .weak solu- 1
tion of iodineis good, and no house-
hold shd'iild be without some.
It is especially important to disin-
fect any cut, no matter how slight, if
there is any infectious or contagious
disease in the house, or the conse-
quences may be very serious.
The cut must be covered and pro-
tected.. Antiseptic gauze or boric lint,
sufficient thoroughly to cover the cut.
in the form of a small pad, is the best.
It may be covered with a small pad
of cotton wool, if any presure Is need-
ed to stop the bleeding, and fixed in
position by a firm; but not tight, band-
age. Failing this, ordinary lint may be
used, and, failing that, a piece of clean
linen. ""
Do not use new linen, anddo not be
frightened of a little bleeding,
Finally there is a very imp(rtant
point. If earth has got into the, cut
there is always a possibility of -tetanus
or lockjaw. True, the chance `is
slight, but as lockjaw is almost in-
variably fatal, it is always very wise
to see a doctor.
-In.:the meantime, as a first-aid pre-
caution, the cut must receive a special
cleaning. An 'excellent. method is to
apply fomentations of boric lint,

But even the most humble worm;

How Can the Gr .ding of
. These Cattle he Raised from
Common to hood?
In a few cases it could rosy e been
clone by better feeding, but.in the ma-
jority of cases -the feeding was 'alright.
rIt was the breeding of the cattle which
was at fault. In nearly every case if
these cattle which graded "common
had been given the advantage of being
'sired by a pure •bred bull they would T
have weighed as mach and would have
been as 'good quality as those which
graded "good.”
'",,,Ability to carry weight and finish is
a virtue not possessed by the offspring
of scrub bulls. �
Over four million hoofs were re- CF
quired to carry the live meat supply to
the public markets of the Dominion
during 1919. Had the scrub bull been
eliminated five years back and better
feeding methods practised over the
same period this meat supply could
have been marketed on three million
boots, a saving of over 25% of the feed
that was required, since the most
economical gains are made by good
quality cattle.
The average weight per animal mar-
keted in Canada during 1919 was 800
pounds, whereas it would leave been I
possible to have obtained an average
weight of at least ten hundred pounds
per animal, which would mean the
elimination of 25% of the foul: million
hoofs referred to in the preceding
paragraph.
When a better beef animal is pro-
duced there is no loss on some other
way. It is a creation of new wealth
which goes directly to _the producer
`and indirectly to the country.
