The assets of the Bank, now stand- ing at $829;633,950.98, show an in- ereaee of $24,552,000, as compared With a year ago An analysis of the assets reveals the remarkable strength of the insti- tution, the proportion of quickly available resources standing at 4599,- 051,153, as comipared with liabilities to the public of 3752,736,753, being 79.58% of these liabilities. Improvement in Current Loans The Bank has again followed its custom of some years' standing by is- suing the statement in an easily um- derstaudable form, grouping the fig- ures idures with annotations that explain their purport. From the public standpoint the most interesting feature of the statement is the demonstration that it gives of the expanding scale of • he country's industrial and commercial operations; reflected particnlw:rly in the iinprave• �paxisa meat in current 1ns In Camera, which, at $204;760,84, show an 'in- crease increaseas compared with last year of more than 130,000,000. - On the °the rhand, due no doubt to the restricted operations ia. the se- curity markets, call loans in Canada are' down from .$8,169,988 last year to' $6,857,700 at the preset time. A similar movement is not oeab1e in .eali loans abroad, these new standing at $19,878,944, as .compared with; $25,- 400,166. Total deposits amount to $717,799,- 105—an increase of $26,497,000 as compared with last year's statement. Moderate Increase in:Profits In keeping with the larger scale of the, Bank's business, the, profits show a moderate increase. The net total, after deduction of Dominion and Pro- rinciai Government taxes of $942,957, amounts to $3,408,328, being at the rate of 4.47% on the combined. capi- tal, reserves and undistributed pro- fits. After payment of the usual divi- dends and an oppropriation of 3400,- 000 for bank premises, the sum of $128,328 was carried forward to pro- fit and loss account, PIPE TOBACCO,,, FOR A MILD, COOL SMOKE The pry eipai accounts, with come parisons vitih those of the previous year, show: 1937 • -1931 $ $ Total; Assets 829,633,950' 805,081,998 Liquid Assets . 599,0.51;153 606,472,587 Gov't and father 437,381,825 442,781,097 19,878,944 25,400,166 Breads Call Loans out- side .Gana is Call Loans in Canada Total Deposits Capital Rest Profits 6,857,700 8,169,988 717,799,105 691,312,054 36,000,000 36,000,000 39,000,000 39,000,000 3,408,328 3,181,501 An English tourist travelling in the North of Scotland, far away from anywhere, ,exclaimed to one of the natives: 'Wily, what do you do when any of you are ill?

It le eherac- t'erieed by .swelling and inflammation of jousts, and not infrequently by he ; tammatient of the lining of the heart. • That itis caused by a germ. has been established by recovery of the perm from the fluid of an Inflamed tint. The ersease is more common in ma es than female because ext • sure to wet and cold and sudden cban'ges of temperature to which workmen are exposed in much great- er numbers than are women have been found to be 'very important un- derlying causes: It would appear that body resistance is lowered by dampness and cold allowing the germs to gain a hold upon the system. Those who work outside, as well as bakers, iron workers and others exposed to taudden changes of temperature srhoald take precautions to avoid getting chilled. The onset of the disease is char- acterized., by a feeling of prostration, fever, much sweating, and pains in the joints especially affecting the arms and legs. The pulse is 'rapid and bounding, the tongue moist and, coated and the .patient quickly loses appetite and de- velops a great thirst. .,The affected joints, frequently knees,' elbows, an- kles, wrists and hands are swollen, red, tender to touch and „extremely painful. Nausea may also be 'a dis- turbing factor and constipation is practically always present. But more important perhaps than the troublesome symptoms described is the damage to 'the lining of the heart which occurs in about 50 per cent. of eases. . 1 • A persen suffering from nheumatic fever should be kept in bed and' made to remain absolutely at rest to avoid any strain being placed upon the heart. The acute stage lasts from ,10 to 20 days but, there is great danger of relapse if proper care is not tak- en. The painful joints should' be kept wrapped preferably in flannel. A nightgown—split down the front,— permits of sponging and drying the body with the least amount of dis- turbance to the patient. Liniments and drugs which control pain will alleviate the distress while absolute rest will help the heart to recover from the inflammation which may have attacked it. Under medical and nursing care recovery may be looked for but without proper care the results may be . disastrous.
