ATS C3 Sd id 7 SEAR EUR SE Hy Vie 3a ER aR SE Methyselah's Age: Was It Only 192? Research At Yale Proves He Was Only That Old When He Died f The assertion reported from New Haven, on the basls of study by a Yale research fellow, that the oldest of biblical characters was only 192 years old when he was gathered to his fathers, Is not only more pldusible than the age of 969 but it also tends to clear Meth- uselah's reputation; says the New York Times, The oldest patriarch has not always, been charitably treated by Sunday School teach- ors. FIVE TIMES YOUNGER Here was a man who lived nearly a thousand years; It used to be said by the teachers, and never ac- complished anything other than to live a very long life. But fit must now be admitted that there is a great deal of differonce between 969 and 192, The world was now, Things were not well organized yet. Many of the trades and pro- fessions that came later were not then open to a young man. At least no harm is reported as coming from Methuselah, He was, go far as we know, a good and kindly family man. We may assume that he need- ed 192 years or thereabouts to get his sons and daughters married off and well-placed in the world, KINDLY, FAMILY MAN? One of his grandsons, named Noah, "found grace In the eyes'ol tho Lord" and indeed turned out very well.

This is because certain types of mental disease can only be cured when the tissue is at- tacked by the malaria germ. For "this purpose the eggs of 'mos quitoes are collected, and, when hatched, the young are fed on rabbit's blood and kept in bottles, When a patient is singled out.for biting, the open mouth of the bottle. is placed against the leg and fifty vicious mosquitoes do their worst, It takes that num- ber to ensure that he will be in- fected, but the patient 'gets ma- laria in only a mild form, Need Clothing For Refugees Red Cross .Is 'Asking For. Donations Suitable For Older Boys and Girls and Adults Sheltered In England More and more garments for girls and boys over ten, and for adults, are urgently needed in England to clothe the more than 100,000 refugees from the Chan- nel Islands and the continent of Europe, according to despatches received by the Canadian Red Cross Society. : . Members of the more than 700 women's groups who resumed their 'war time work for the Red Cross: in Toronto this month are being asked to devote much of their cfforts for the next few months to providing clothes for these people who have, in many cases, been moved abut so many times that they have lost what clothing they had. Workers are reminded that warm winter clothing will soon be needed, both for the English climate and for children who may come to Canada in the next few months. WARM WINTER ONES Letters coming in to Red Cross headquartrs tell of the great appreciation felt for what has al- ready been sent by Canadian wo- men. A woman who has been working constantly, alleviating . the distress among refugees, writes to her mother, "We simply burst into tears when we opened the box from Canada. Everything - was of such good quality, so well made and so exactly what we wanted." All the garments that are shipped to England are made from new material, it was pointed out by Mrs. George Royce, act- ing director of the Women's War Work for Toronto Branch. She says the women of Toronto have done wonders in obtaining sup-' plies of good material, Many are extremely clever at making gar- ments ot of small pieces of goods.

Mother: Junior is getting more like Jou every day." Father (absently): "What has he done now?'

Leave Masks Behind Them : In England Are Now Carry- ing Their Gas-Protectors _ Gas masks which nearly every Englishman carried at the out- break of the war, have been dis- appearing from the streets gradu- ally but steadily until. less than half the population carries them habitually. An Englishman thinks nothing of burdening himself daily with an umbrella and an attache case in which he may carry anything from papers to lunch and a change of socks. TOO MANY FORGOTTEN But he was a bit upset when possession of a gas mask, as well as a ticket, was demanded for admission to a movie. The movies soon found the accumulation of forgotten masks too great to cope with, and drop- ped the rule. There was a marked drop in the number of gas mask carriers im- mediately, ' t Women still generally carry them, as_well as accompanying toddlers who lug containers al- most half their size, . ONLY FALSE ALARM But when German gas attacks failed to materialize, attempts to get the public accustomed to wearing masks were chiefly lim- ited to newspaper appeals and warnings, Some business establishments still insist on their employes don- ning the masks at intervals for practice in working in them, Since the start of the war Lon- don has had one gas attack alarm, and it was a false alarm.

Fishing consists primarily of muskies and salmon trout, although there is a good supply of pickerel and great northern pike while the district provides very good hunt- ing for big and small game, as } 'well as waterfowl], stated Mr. Howard. Of special interest to the fall canoeing enthusiast are |. the almost unlimited possibilities ° |. of the region for canoe travel, "he said, "Convenient canoe trips up to a month's duration may be arranged with the management of Kenneally Lodge and Camps, with office .at Quibell, Ontario, who, - in addition, can supply canoes, guides, camping outfits and provisions."

Mouth breath- ing means the introduction of germs into the throat and breath- ing passages. The nose acts as a filter; having a Jining of fine hairs which stop the progress of harmful particles; Tf the mouth is kept closed, the saliva is then quite clean and healthy. mouth is continually open it be- comes dry and the saliva will be contaminated with germs, This may lead infection to the tonsils. Correct breathing through. -the nose also expands the . chest. EXPANDS CHEST PROPERLY If babies and young children do not expand their chests while their bonés and muscles are soft, they will grow up "with narrow, hollow chests.. This will cause insufficient lung expansion, and cold and bronchitis will result. Will you do all you can to see that baby breathes correctly from birth? His funny little mose has not much spare space inside it and any dried mucuc will soon fore he goes to sleep and when you dress him in the morning. If his nose is blocked his mouth will fall open when he is asleep and he will soon start a habit of mouth breathing. Do not lay him down on his back because in this position his mouth is more likely to fall open. If he turns on to his back and. his mouth comes open when he is asleep, it is easy - to put a rolled up handkerchief under his chin to keep his mouth shut, Baby must never wear anything tight or restricting to his move- ments, and stays that tie across the chest are harmful, His clothes must be loose and free, giving complete freedom of arm move- ment. y ...CLASSIFIED ADVERTIS EMENTS...
