SNR PE By NS : uke PEAR, rm --. re -------------------- House F ly Carrier Of Dread Diseases A Dangerous Pest, It Is a Seri- ous Menace to Human Health the World Over A serious menace to health and a nuisance of the first order is the charge rightly made against the common house fly, This is especi- ally true in the warm months, from midsummer to autumn, when it reaches its greatest abundance. It is a menace to health because it breeds in garbage, manure and _ human faeces, and may pass direct- ly from filth and other infested matter to foodstuffs. 1,000,000 Germs Apiece Particles of decomposing organic matter, bacteria and other living organisms adhere to its hairy body and legs, and sticky feet and mouthparts, or may be conveyed to food in its excreta and saliva. One fly may carry as many as 1,000,000 germs. The house fly is world-wide fn dis- tribution and notorious for the part it plays in the dissemination of dangerous diseases such as in- fantile diarrhoea, tuberculosis, ty- phoid, cholera and dysentery, It serves as the intermediate host of certain species of roundworms that infest the stomachs of horses, and of tapeworms that occur in poul- try. Here in Canada, the house fly is probably the most important in- sect species concerned in disease transmission. On this account it is very essential that measures be taken to control it and to prevent it from having access to human foods. H How To Control It The most effective method of controlling house flies consists of climinating or red cing their breed- ing places by proper treating of manure and garbage. Fresh horse manure is probably chiefly respons- ible for the majority of flies in the sural sections. It, has been estim- ated that more than a million: flies may develop from one ton of man- ure. Active Sports Best Cosmetic Help to Keep the Skin Glowing, Eyes Sparkling Active sports will keep any wo- man's figure slim, trim and youth- ful. The very best way to lose a few pounds, get rid of a, waistline rotl or lumps on the thighs between now and early fall is to renew your attention to your favorite sport or decide to learn a new one. Swimming is the great streamlin- er. It fills out the hollows of the too-thin person, removes the bulges on one who is slightly overweight, makes her flesh firm. And, of course, the more professional your stroke, the more quickly swimming will correct whatever figure defects you have. If you learned breast and side strokes long ago and never bothered about the crawl, it might be a good idea to £0 to an indoor pool now and take a few lessons, You'll see a difference in your fig- ure in no time. To Improve Circulation Golf, tennis and riding as well ag swimming not only improve the figure, but give the complexion a healthy glow, make eyes alive. The better your circulation, the more attractive you're likely to be. For figure and complexion beau- ty, bicycling and riding cannot be surpassed. The latter, however, like swimming, is more eflicacious . when done expertly, A few riding lessons may be in order, Walking Is Good Walking, although not considered an active sport, is especially desir- able. The young girl who gets fn- to the habit of taking a long brisk walk almost every day of her life probably will have few figure prob- lems when she ig older, It behooves the home woman to resolve to walk to market at least fifty per cent. of the time, the bsiness girl to walk home from work three nights a week, Seven Rules For Heat Wave Cited Chief Medical Officer of Ontar- io Tells How To Stave Off Exhaustion Seven basic rules to avoid eol- lapse and to minimize the discom- forts of the present heat wave are set forth by Dr, J. T. Phair, Chief Medical Officer in the Ontario De- partment of Health, They are: Use an added quantity of salt in seasoning food in hot weather, thereby replacing the ' excess amounts of salt lost in perspira- tion, Adopt a diet moderate in amount and made up of foods low in fat content. Avoid use of "too much" salad dressing, Drink plenty of water. Avoid the use of beverages with a high alcoholic content -- alcohol generates body heat. Avoid strenuous exercise--par- ticularly competitive exercises, l -- -- _-- "Classified Advertising AGENTS WANTED BELLING WATERPROOFINGS, -- paints, roof, and floor mastics, di- rect to large consumers, part or full time.

Davidson, K.C.; chairman of the Casa Loma Committee of the Ki- wanis Club of West Toronto, an- nounced last week. At least another 100,000 people are expected to visit the Castle be- fore November, swelling the Ki- wanis Club's "Underprivileged Chil- dren's Fund." Guides at the Castle reported that the uarter-mile tunnel between the Castle and the quarter-million dollar stables is the most fascinat- ing spot to tourists. The tunnel is sald to be the only one of its kind on the North American continent, ~ Hay fever victims are expected to swarm the tunnel starting August 15. Last year scores of them spent hours in the Castle tunnel and claimed to be relieved of their ail- ment so long as they remained in the cool pollen-free passageway.

Stanley Park Nurseries STONEY CREEK -- Box 252 -- ONTARIO 4) FRIENDS -- -- Friendship is the greatest thing in life, and lucky indeed is the man who has the power to make friends. This is not so difficult as many per- sons believe, It is merely a case of reciprocity, There is just one way to make a friend, and that is to be one. ENEMIES -- -- It used to be said that a man was known by the enemies he had. But is it really necessary to have en- emies? Few of us want to be an enemy to anyone, therefore we know others are not anxious to be our enemies. Hatreds never bring happiness. Timekeeper -- "I am very sorry to hear of your partner's death, Would you like me to take his place?" Boss -- "Very much, if you can get the undertaker to arrange it." Don't get discouraged! It has been said of Columbus that when he started out, he didn't know just where he was going; when he got there, he didn't know where he was; and when he came back, he didn't know where he had been, An old time farmer went into a .store to buy a shirt and the clerk tried to sell him a trunk also. Farmer -- "What would I use a trunk for?" Clerk -- "To keep your clothes in." : Farmer -- "Say, do you want me to run around naked?" Jones -- "How are you getting along in your new 8-rcom house?" Smith -- "Oh, not so badly. We furnished one of the bedrooms by collecting soap wrappers." Jones -- "Didn't you furnish the other seven rooms?" Smith -- "We can't. full of soap." They are A man in an insane asylum sat fishing over a flower-bed. A visi- tor, wishing to be friendly, walked up and said: Visitor -- "How many have you caught today?" Man -- "You are the ninth." AFTER VACATION I wish I were a little rock, A settin' on a hill, : A-doin' nothin' all day long But just a-settin' still, I wouldn't eat, I wouldn't drink, I wouldn't even wash, I'd set and set a thousand years, And rest myself, by gosh! ' Hiram walked four miles over the hills to call on the girl of his dreams. For a long time they sat . silent on a bench by the side of her log cabin, but after a while Hiram sidled closer to her. Hiram (beginning)--"Mary, I've got a good clearin' over yonder, an' a team an' a wagon, and some hawgs, and some cows, and I cal- culate on buildin' a house an -- --" Mary's Mother (who was awaken- ed) -- "Mary, is that young man thar yit?" Mary -- "No, ma! But he's git- tin' thar!" Storing Human Eyes Proposed Doctor Says Transplantation Supply Too Low The establishment of an "eye bank," in which the eyes either of donors or of dead people could be stored for use in eye operations, is proposed by Dr. Louis Lehrfeld of the eye department of the Philadel- Phia County Medical Society. Such an establishment, he said, was the only hope for restoration of sight to many people doomed to permanent blindness, because there were not enough eyes for use in transplantations. From The Dead "The number of victims of eye diseases who require extraction of a whole eye--with an unaffected cornea--is too small to provide for all of the transplantations requir- ed," Dr. Lehrfeld added. "Surge- ons must depend on occasional don- ors of eyes stricken by a blindness which does not affect the cornea, Surgeons will not remove a perfect eye from a living person, despite the willingness of mothers in many cases, to sacrifice an eye to give their children sight." Solution to the problem, he sald, was extraction of perfect eyes from the dead, immediately after death, Th perfect eyes of still-born babies had the greatest value. 'What Science * | Doing * Carbon Dioxide Is Necessary Carbon dioxide, which has been identified for decades by laymen and physicians as being the main ingredient in foul or used air, is now regarded by medical research workers as being a necessary con- stituent of the breathing process. McGill medical research work- ers point out that the despised carbon dioxide is really what causes us to breathe. It acts as a stimulant on the respiratory cen- ters. This is the reason that in modern resuscitation work oxygen is mixed with a small quantity of carbon dioxide which, when it en- ters the lungs, stimulates them in- to action. Cures Apple Ills Injection of a chemical "known as boron into the trunks of apple trees afflicted with "corky bore" is said to give almost 100 per cent. control over this bane of apple growers. The discovery is reported by L. C. Young, horticulturist, and asso- ciates at the Dominion Experi- mental station -at Fredericton, N.B. After several years' work they are experimenting to see if boron can be applied as a soil treatment. . New Cancer Method Invention of radium threads, a new method of treatment for can- cer, was announced last week at the New York City Cancer Insti- tute. The threads are made by taking ordinary "sutures" used by surg- eons for sewing up, wounds, and inserting in them, spaced like beads, tiny gold or silver "seeds", The seeds, long used in cancer treatment, contain radon, the gas from radium, which gives off ex- actly the same rays as radium. | ... Gardening Notes... PLANT TH EM NOW i August embraces many garden operations which usually are assoc- fated with the fall. This is particu- larly true of the planting of certain bulbs. Madonna lilies usually do the best if planted in August. The rea- son for this is easily explained by the fact that it is the nature of the bulbs to develop some broad foliage - before the arrival of winter. Oriental Poppies August does not seem to be a fa- vorable month for planting peren- nials, yet it is at this time that the Oriental poppy (Papaver orientale) is most successfully planted, Unlike most perennials, the plants die down gradually after their flower- ing in May and June, until by Aug- ust 'they have become entirely dor- mant. During this dormant period transplanting of the long tap-root- ed plants is accomplished with the greatest success. In the early fall the plants resume both top and root growth, and recently moved plants establish themselves for the winter. To grow really fine Oriental pop- ples the soil should be prepared 18 inches deep. A good loam, enriched with well-rotted manure or compost is ideal. Fresh manure should never be used, as there is danger of its Issue No. 34--'38 mScratching rotting the fleshy roots. If well rot- ted manure, or compost, cannot be obtained, dried sheep manure and some commercial form of humus may be substituted. These should be thoroughly mixed with the soil before planting. DISCOURAGE EARLY BLOOM Some chrysanthemums, and dah- las of the large flowered exhibition type, may be showing buds now, but it is best to discourage early blooming. Both of these fine flow- ers are late summer and autumn subjects and require cooler weather and particularly longer and cooler nights, to develop to their best. Early blooming not only exhausts the plants. prematurely, but the flowers that are produced are us- ually poorly formed, and not so good in color as those that develop later on. Insects which attack and deform the blossoms are also more prevalent now than later. Therefore another pinching back of the plants -~ even if this has already been done once or twice -- is in order, : RELIEVE Itching of Insect Bites Even the most stubborn itching of insect bites," athe lete's foot, hives, scales, eczema, and other Siteenally caused skin afflictions Sud bf 16 cooling, ant! ie, liquid D.

The advantage for the "thread radium," according to its originators, Dr. Fred Hanes and associates, is the certainly of plac- ing the burning substance in pre- cisely the best locations. The 93rd Element The noted physicist, Jean Per- rin, informed the French Acad- emy of Science his collaborators have discovered what fis. believed to be the 93rd chemical element --a substance heavier than uran- ium, The scientist; president of the academy, said the element had been found in stable form in min- erals containing uranium, notably pitchblende. By using a powerful spectro- scope, he said, his colleagues had distinguished four new. spectral lines which were believed to have been caused by the presence of transuranium, a nucleus whose atom would contain 93 positive charges, Starch-Making Animal The discovery that one small, barely-visible water animal can make, in 25 days, more starch and fat than the whole United States could eat, was. deszribed last week at the Marine Biologi- cal Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass. The animal is Chilmonas, a flagellate, so termed from the fact that he swims by lashing with fine, hair-like arms called flagel- la. Scientists got interested in him because, unlike virtually all other living things, he is able to make starch and fat without light. Starch and fat are two of the three essential foods. Protein is the other. Hens Require Seme Privacy Before going into the privacy of the henhouse it's a good idea to rap on the door, says H., W. Titus, a poultry expert at the na- tional agricultural research sta- tion, Beltsville, Maryland. "Then the chickens know what. to expect, come to attention and face the door," he explains. "There is no fluttering -- no alarm," Otherwise, the birds are apt to get excited, flutter, "hind injure themselves. --------e eee N The Government of Denmark has made a motion picture show- ing fire preventive measures, New Zealand's 1937-38 wool crop is valued at $45,000,000. ~ The BOOK SHEL By ELIZABETH EEDY THE DOOMSDAY MEN By J. B. Priestley It is i2 a light-hearted mood that Mr. ("Good Companion") Priestley, having swapped English mists for desert spaces, has come on what he calls "a fairy-tale in Western rig." . --"Fairy-tale" only part of the story of "The Doomsday Men." Buried in it lies most of the makings of a murder mystery. It has more than a "tingo of a Western" and a generous slice of romance. There is a beautiful damsel in distress, who has a brace of wicked uncles and a father who is a modern magician, a scientist. There is an impecunious but un- daunted suitor; an innocent scien- tist, a domestically inclined sol- dier of fortune, a dare-devil, a de- lightful widow with gray curls, Over all of them and many other millions hangs a fate that it would be unfair to disclose. You enter the book by way of the murder mystery. Then both love and sus- pense thicken, and the tale winds its fabulous way up a canyon near the edge of Death Valley. It is ridiculous to suppose that youth and virtue will not triumph, but nevertheless it is 'a' relief 'to note that the final chapter is "Dooms- 0 'day--and Afterwards." ¢ "The Doomsday Men," by J.
