FERRER RS KFS SS 1s » onto General Hospital, University Phat: At e same time, he intimated that the old Pathological Building of the Tor- Ave., might be transformed into the Toronto clinic. The personnel of each clinic, he sald, should be headed by a radiolo- gist, pathologist, surgeon. physican and specialists in various kinds of ail- ments. 5 "If we were in normal times of fin- ance there is no doubt arrangements could be carried out more quickly than they perhaps will be," said the Minis- ter in outlining the cautious clinical development program advocated by the commission. Buy Smal] Lots "We are not going to buy the radium all at once," he continued. "To meet the average need we would require seven grams all told. There is only a little more than two grams in the pro- vince now, and they are privately owned. Four grams would cost, need- les and all, $65,000 per gram. But un- der present conditions it would have to be bought through the United States and it would be necessary to figure on the exchange. If it were bought by the gram it would cost ~bout $70,000 per gram. But we have an understanding already whereby we would get a consideration if it is bought in the smaller lots" Radium and X-ray therapy ma. chinery alone would cost Ontario $200, 000, is the estimate credited to Dr. G.| E. Richards, radiologist of Toronto General Hospital. . i The estimate is based on a possible expenditure of about $161,000 for radium at $70,000 per gram, and $45, 000 for Installation of the X-ray therapy equipment. Dr. Richard's figures' take into consideration pos- sible centres being established at To- ronto, Kingston and London. | Radium in Solution | Dr. Richards estimates half a gram "of radium in solution 'would be re-! quired for a central emonation plant in Toronto, with an additional gram in the form of radium element in'vari- ous applicators This represents a radium-cost of $105,000. For the Kingston and London plants, Dr. Richards believes 800 thousandths of a gram--$56.000 at the same rate-- would be sufficient. { The $200,000 figure does not take into consideration containers andi other apparatus. Dr. Richards, more- over, believes investigation should be made into the merits of 'bombs" con- taining four ot five grams of radium-- costing about $250,000. -- Glorifying the Prune I never see a glass dish with stewed prunes without thinking of schoolgirl days, when stewed prunes and rice were sérved with such unfailing regu- larity that they became relegated to the category of things we would never eat when we grew up. Now, however, I know that, rightly cooked and served, prunes can become a delicacy, and they can be utilized in many ways to make delicious sweets. It stewing prunes to serve with blancmange or custard, you should use either honey or treacle for sweetening, and add a very little grated lemon rind. Washed, soaked and slowly stewed, prunes need but little sweet ening. Try Prune Cream for a Sun- day night supper, and you will find it very nice. | Ingredients: % lb. prunes, a dessert: spoonful of honey, the juice of half an orange, about a gill of cream and a few Brazil nuts, which shouldbe put through the mincer. i Method: Wash and soak the prunes, then cover with enough cold water to, cook, and simmer until tender, Now, put them through a sieve, and to the puree add the orange juice and honey, stirring well; add also some of the, syrup from cooking and part of the; cream, Put into a glass bowl, sprinide with the minced nuts, and put the rest of the cream imyittie blobs on top. Bis- . cuits can be served with this if liked." Stuffed prunes make a very nice - change, and you can ring the changes 'on the stuffings. Generally this is 'looked upon as a party sweet, but it} need not be an expensive one and, as it is always liked, 1 suggest we might it more often. All that one needs do is to cook the prunes by slitting lengthwise with a sharp and press into the cavity the A Cooking Hint It you can say that milk has never boiled over when yoy have put it on to heat, you are a lucky person bed with a little butter before put: ting in the milk. re fps A 3 "Tom's wife says he is one man in a thousand."

Y. EE ew of Bi ° : al complications are to be resolved. But at the ultimate sources of their and of their points of view " there are matters such as wage en- velopes and the health of babies and mothers, questions of clothes and shoes and food. There are factory chimneys breathing smoke, or stand- ing dead and cold; long freight trains now move across the land loaded with goods--or freight cars now stand idle on sidings. There are harvests sold or wasted; young men who look for- ward to useful careers, or halt in des peration on the threshold of life, One starts with Berlin, for the Franco-German problem, as ever, re- mains the crucial one of Europe. A part of the truth about Germany is there for any one to see--in thé streets, where passers-by are few; in the silence of the avenues; in the de- seérted parks; in the long files of green taxicabs that wait for infrequent cus- tomers; in the restaurants and cafes, where elegant parasols shelter empty chairs surrounding the little tables which look like desert islands, where forlorn musicians play to a few melan- choly couples. The prevailing mood of Berlin is one of depression--depres- sion that is emphasized by sporadic at- tempts at a febrile, desperate sort of merriment. Old men with thin and learned faces sit in the cafes, sipping their beer slowly to make it last, so they may stay without having to buy another. Their correct professional clothes are shabby. Their eyes behind their spec- tacles are resigned.

In re- nascent Poland, all is martial vigor. Everywhere one looks one sees gorge: ous uniforms and for each uniform an elegant and gay young girl, as though Feen-a-mint is the answer. Cleansing action of smaller doses effective be- cause you chew it. At your the safe and scien- tific laxative, - ia lovely companion were the official adjunct of military trappings. { The Poles proudly call their capital a "little Paris," and the description is borne out by the gay hotels and res- taurants, the elegant shops. But all is not display. If one is struck first {by the soldier's uniform, one has but to look to discover other evidence of a new regime. The educational sys- tem plays a part no less important in the life of the country than does the military, Throughout their years of oppression the Poles cultivated an ar- dent aspiration for the rebirth of a na- tional culture; it found expression in the rise of hundreds of new schools. One of the most interesting buildings in Warsaw ig the permanent Museum of Education, which is in fact a train- ing school and a forum for the educat~ org of the country. The Polish love of art reveals itself in the work of the pupils shown here, and in the mander in which the whole idea of education is vitalized. Here on a large table one sees, spread out like a carpet, a great map of Poland on which every centre of education is marked by cry- stals of various colors and sizes. Prague, the ancient and beautiful capital of Bohemia, which Goethe When ; TEETHIN makes HIM FUSSY One of the most important things you can do to make a teething baby comfortable is to see that little bowels do their work of carrying off waste matter promptly and regu- larly. For this nothing is better than Castoria, a pure vegetable pre- paration specially made for babies and children. Castoria acts so gent- ly you can give it to young infants to relieve colic Yet it is always effective, for older children, too. Remember, Castoria contains no harsh drugs, no narcotics--is abso- lutely harmless. When your baby is fretful with teething or a food upset, give a cleansing dose of Cas- toria. Be sure you get genuine Castoria with the name: called a melody in stone, appears to the traveler as the centre of an econo- mic oasis. . It is a city which has al- ways bred ardent champions of liberty. Massaryk and Benes, the new leaders of Czecho-slovakia--of which Bohemia is ndw a part--seem to have made bet- ter use of their leadership than the chief men of any other of Europe's new nations, and the liveliness and in- dusty of the people testify to the fact that their country is nearer to pros- perity than any of its neighbors. , Traveling southward toward the Black Sea, one comes to Bucharest, a Latin outpost in the Balkans, the meet- ing place of the two extremes of Bal- kan life. In the elegance of the prin- cipal streets of this Eastern capital there is sensed the nearness of a royal court, with all its trappings of ro- mance, intrigue and social life; and of all the individualistic clans which 'make up the population of Balkan | countries, Here one may see, among many others, those Rumanian gypsies whose violins make Bucharest a city of music. But the key to Rumania is not in the capital. It is in the country- side, where the peasants live precari- ously on the little farms into which the great pre-war est-tes were divided; in little whitewashed h inted with bright-colored designs. The peasants 1 ceived land, but no tools, and their debts to-day are a source of much of Rumania's trouble--a ruling element in the political word-battles waged fiercely In every cafe of Bucharest. 'Sleepy old Geneva--peaceful home of liberality, historic r fuge of political exiles--has grown into a bustling cos- mopolis around the immense institu- tion of the League of Nations.

Here no one has con- stituted power, and any one may g!-| tain prestige. Paris, which remains more French toan France itself, no matter how many strangers are within its gates, presents a striking contrast to Gen- eva. Paris appears to be the most sought city on the globe. Business, and hence crowds, follow the gold of the world, and the temporary concen- tration of gold in Paris gives to that city an air of bustle and activity not found in any other European capital Paris celebrates her moment of as- cendency characteristically by . refur- bishing the time-darkened stone of the buildings, monuments and fountains of the Place de la Concorde and flooding them at night with a mysterious glow of light. But this is not all that one notices. New arteries are being open- ed up, above ground and below, in a program that will help to solve the growing traffic problem and also give work to the unemployed. London never wears its feelings on its sleeve, but it cannot hide its long lines of unemployed, and the innumer- able "To Let" and "For Sale" signs which hang from fine buildings. The "Buy British" campaign, which mani- fests itself on all sides, has kept at home a large part of the great British contingent that habitually spreads it- golf over all the Continent, according to the season. One knows that the erstwhile travelers are remaining at home, but one meets few. evidences of their being in London. Social life seems to be subdued and secluded, as if to hide itself decently from the eyes of the hungry. Over the city hangs a pall no less dismal than that over | Berlin, though London wears a calmer spirit. The Conservative victory does not give one the impression of a triumph, but of a grim measure of ex- pediency which brings hope rather than joy. Europe presents the panorama of a continent in a crisis in which econo. mic necessity is the goad of political struggles. But underneath all the powerful differences which the eye dis- covers there is undoubtedly the begin- ning of a mood that can make the crisis one of growing-pains rather than of dissolution.

The Ministry of Public Education has ord- ered the department of physical edu- cation to broadcast, through the radio facilities at present available to the department, a series of weekly sports programs of an informative nature. The broadcasts, which will be made from a powerful Mexico City station] are to be used to impart instruction in the several sports being emphasized. | These sports include baseball, basket- ball, football, tennis and others. The. weekly programs, it was stated, will be made weekly if public interest seems to justify the change. MODERNIZING THE MARKETS. Mexico City's colorful markets, where carnations cost three cents a dozen and Indian craftsmanship is ex- hibited in a thousand-and-one articles, are gradually being improved to the point of sacrificing much of their ex- otic atmosphere for cleanliness ani general sanitation. Buildings have already been acquired in the neighbor- hood of some of the better-known mar- ket places and altered for the benefit; of the street merchants who are aban- doning their cluttered sidewalk booths for the spic-and-span stalls provided at nominal cost in the renovated buildings. TREE-PLANTING CAMPAIGN. The doleful prediction of the De- partment of National Statistics that the forests of Mexico, at the present rate and manner of exploitation, will last only twelve years longer, has served to stimulate the nation-wide conservation and reforestation cam- paign in a noteworthy manner. Edu- cational programs are being held and special "tree days" observed in the smallest villages of the Republic, as well as in the larger towns and cities. Formal tree-planting ceremonies are being held even on the haciendas, with the co-operation of neighboring rural schools. Military authorities in the garrisons scattered throughout the nation have joined in the movement 2nd are setting out in their respective districts the thousands of trees which the Government is distributing free. Strict measures have been adopted by the federal authorities to prevent waste of the remaining forests. SHEEP RAISING ON INCREASE.
