EXPERIMENTS WITH "COLD"
THERAPY
Crymotherapy, or cold. treat-
ment, recently dramatized by its
a ase in cancer eases, promises to
broaden into a great new realm
of research which may solve some
of the principal puzzles of basic
life processes and produce treat-
ments for many types of diseases,
A new approach is being made
to the problems involved by study
of the relationship between con-
ditions existing In the refriger-
ated state of a body under treat-
ment and the somewhat similar
state of natural hibernation in
which animals remain for periods
as long as 18 months. Animals'
bodies already have been made
immune to poisons and to disease
germs in experiments in Which
they were subjected to low tem-
peratures for long periods.

"Size?" asked the assistant

"Not size," the man replied,
"Scythe."

yelled. "Not size, but scythe —

Deficiency Of
Razor Blades
Just as the female of the Brit-
ish species is having to give up
silk stockings so the male may be
compelled to grow a beard for
lack of razor blades before this
war has gone on many more
months.
This is just one of the many
little sacrifices which keep accu-
mulating day by day as the Brit-
ish democracy in the fight for its
life, is obliged to adopt totali-
tarian methods to save its war
sinews and regulate the daily
habits of the taxpayer.
Each day the screw turns a
little tighter. In many communi-
ties, shortages of certain popu-
lar brands of cigarettes and to-
bacco have recently occurred.
The tobacco controller announc-
ed that there was no shortage
of that commodity in the country
and that the stocks were sufficient
to last a long time to come. He
appealed to smokers not to make
the situation worse by trying to
hoard.
He blamed "temporary trans-
port and other interruptions, re-
sulting in some disturbance to
the normal channels of distribu-
tion" for the temporary shortage
in certain areas,
Canada's Parks

responding period last year.

How Can I.
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I prevent but-
tonholes from becoming frayed
and unsightly?
A. Overcast -the buttonhole
around the edges before work-
ing; then work closely in the
usual manner. The neat result
will repay one for the extva
work.
Q. How can I tie a parcel
package securely?
A. Tie the package that is to
be sent by parcel post two or
three times, and with separate
pieces of cord. Then tie knots
where the cord crosses. If this
is done and one piece of cord
breaks, the others will hold the
package.
Q. How can I polish a stained
floor?
A. Make a preparation of
shaving ?s -pound of beeswax into
a pan containing le -pint turpen-
tine. Rub vigorously into the
floor and polish with a dry wool-
len pad. It is an excellent liquid
floor wax.
Q. What can I use for pillow
stuffing?
A. Old silk garments, cut into
very fine pieces, make an excel-
lent stuffing for pillow. They
are soft and cool, and as easily
shaken out as feathers.
Q. How can I repair the lid
of a cooking vessel when the
knob has come off?
A. Slip a screw through the
hole in the lid, with the .head
on the inside of the lid, and
screw a cork on the protruding
end. This knob will not get hot
and can be renewed when worn
or soiled.
Salt on Coal Piles
Several large piles of loee-
motit'e coal in storage for use of
the Canadian National Railways
have been treated to a surface
coating of crushed rock salt. The
purpose is to prevent coal caking
into large lumps during heavy
frost, such lumps proving trouble-
some in handling. Ail- main line
fast passenger and freight loco-
motives of the National System
are equipped by automatic stok-
ers which on such engines, render
the old-time man -handled scoop
an ornamental relic.
In Germany's 'colonies previous
to the• War, out of a total popu-
lation of 16,000,000, only one in

these were Germans.

Toper's Nose Not

Acne Rosacea, Not Alcohol,
Often Responsible For Bril-

Acne rosacea, and not liquor, oft-
en can be blamed for "toper's

the University of Southern Califor-
nia dermatology department told
the Omaha Midwest Clinical So-
ciety.
WOMEN GET THEM, TOO
"Toper's nose in middle age isn't
necessarily due to liquor because
many persons afflicted have never
touched a drop," he said. "Acne.
rosacea frequently causes extreme
flushing of the face iu middle life.
"I have seen Christian mission-
aries with `toper's noses'."
Dr. Ayres said women wbo use

Whooping Cough
Very Dangerous
The Toronto Star has perform-
ed a public duty in calling atten-
tion to the fatality of whooping
cough and the means whereby
this affection, like that of diph-
theria, may be conquered, writes
Dr. John W. S. McCullough of
the Health League of Canada.
The great danger in whooping
cough is in the years under five,
and in the years 1933-39, accord-
ing to Dr. Gordon P. Jackson, the
Medical Officer of Health of To-
ronto, the city has 5529 cases un-
der this age. In the same period
there were 4500 eases in the 5
to 14 year group.
It is not in Toronto alone that
whooping cough is a menace to
small children. In Canada gener-
ally the death rate is higher
(1938) than diphtheria; 4.4 as
con),peed with 3.9.
Vaccine Prevents It
Whooping cough is one of the
most disagreeable diseases of
ehiidhood. If a child acquires the

affection late in the autumn he
or she will likely whoop it up ala,
winter. The danger of such com-
plications as acute bronchitis and
pneumonia is rather common.
What's the sense of incurring
all this trouble and danger when
whooping cough may readily be
prevented?
By the tilnely use 'of toxoid
for the annual brood of babies
has all but wiped out diphtheria.
Immunization against whooping
cough will do the same for that
disease.
The vaccine against whooping
cough is generally provided free
by municipalities. It is provided
in sealed bottles, A dose is given
at three-week intervals for three
doses, during the first year of
life. There are no unpleasant re-
actions. ' Every medical officer
. of health in Canada should at
once put on a campaign against
whooping cough.
