By James W. Barton, M.D, CURING SICK MINDS. You will remember how distress- ing it was just a few years ago if some member or relative of the fa- mily was committed to the hospital for the insane, the asylum as it was called, Occasionally there would be cases showing some improvement and they would return home, some of them mentally clear, others having to re- lun to the hospital at some late e, * Now although the number of men- tally unbalanced individuals is in- creasing, it is gratifying to know that many thousands throughout the United States and Canada are at their daily work, and living a normal life at Home, who just a few years ago would have been condemned to} life in an ital for the insane, What happened? An observant hospital superin- terrdent noticed that a girl who had been a patient in the. mental hospital for two years, became normal men- tally within. two months after some decayed teeth were removed, Fol- lowing this idea further, he was able to get rid of nearly half the patients admitted to the "hospital B the simple method of removing infected teeth and tonsils, and draining sin- uses, gall bladder, and correcting constipation, And now Dr, J. L. DeCourcy re- ports that he operated on fourteen mentally unbalanced patients who had the severe type of goitre, the poisonous type, The mental symptoms were ex- tremely pronounced in the majority of cases and yet all but two patients were able to resume their former oc- cupations, They have remained clear mentally date, The period during which recovery took place was from several months to a year, So once more we must thank our observant physicians who have the care of these mentally unbalanced folks. How different this is to the time so recent, when all that was done for the patient was to remove him from his home and sec that he didn't harm himself or anybody else. We think of mental cases now as simply sick minds, many, of which can be cured by the same methods that dre used to cure sick bodies, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) U.S. IMMIGRATION WALLS CRACKED BY MARRIAGES Havana, Cuba, Dec. 12. -- Matri- mony has cracked the United States immigration wall and marriages be- tween American citizens and alien women have become an important Cuban industry. As the immigration law is now in- terpreted, citizens of the United States may wed on Cuban soil and, after a residence of 15 days, apply for permission to enter their wives into the United States. Many of these marriages are not made with any intention of fraud on the part of husband or wife but they are frequently aimed against the Ameri- can immigration restrictions. Farce The marriage ceremony, in these cases, is legitimate enough but in to gal entry of the wife into the Unit- ed. States. There are instances where this form of matrimony is the culmination of a romance started in Europe. The husband attained Ame- rican citizenship and made a home for his bride only to find the immi- gration door barred against her. Waiting Patiently Usually the method for beating the immigration law jis effected by the man sending the woman passage money from her home to Cuba. He then arranges in Cuba with respon- sible parties acceptable to the Cuban authorities for her. reception and care. The prospective bridegroom takes matters up with the state de- partment and then comes to Cuba armed with conclusive proofs of his status, From then on it is smooth sailing and 'loving couples are often seen sitting in the parks of Havana waiting patiently for the day when they may be permitted to make the journey north. Should no provision be made for the woman's reception in Cuba she is detained here until the man she is going to marry is communicated with or arrives. eee 7 TRIBUTE TO ELLEN TERRY (By Canadian Press) London, Eng, Dec. 12--Since the death of Dame Ellen Terry, noted actress, there has been evidence of a strong desire that the widespread | love and admiration which she in-! spired in life both as a woman and artist be given some perma- | nent expression. It is proposed to either acquire the fine old Tudor timbered house at Tenterden, Kent, where she spent most of the last 25| years of her life and where she died! or t2 keep two rooms, in one of which she died, in much the state they were in during her lifetime; and to turn an room into a library, of books on the drama and theatre. HEALTH EXAMINATIONS Canadian Press) Toronto, Ont, Dec. 12.--"Health examinations before marriage are not only necessary but reasonable," said Dr. George W. Ross, speaking be- fore the Toronto Social Hygiene Council here urging the necessity of islation in this respect. He point- out that all big institutions de- manded a health certificate from their employees and that the important in- stitution of marriage is just as much in need of such care on the part of the contracting parties. Dr. Ross added that the medical profession was eager to co-operate with such proposed legislation and urged that it be adopted. | reality a farce intended to. force le-|' 23 SIMCOE STREET NORTH, OSHAWA The careful saving and investment of your money means independence in the years to come. TRAL CANADA ISAN AND SAVINGS COMPANY ESTABLISHED 1884 S OVER. .IO Branch Offices OSHAWA/ + MILLIONS Sao Paulo, Dec. 12. -- Recent abled reports from Berlin that a German organization planned to' de- velop large coffee plantations in Dutch Guana have caused much in- terest here in the heart of Brazil's coffee region, Coffee is, of course, the most important export of Brazil, and the last crop exports were val- ued at more than $300,000,000 and accounted for two-thirds of the to- tal exports of the country, Observers here believe that control exercised by the coffee in- stitute for the past four years is bound to have the same effect in stimulating the coffee production of other countries as did the British control of rubber. Coffee experts see the same pro- cess going on in the coffee growing countrics and predict that Brazil will not control the world market in a few years, It is pointed out that Columbia has put more and more land under coffee in recent years, and now the news of the Ger- man undertaking in Guiana indicates the opening of another field While the bulk of Brazilian cof- fee goes to the United dtates, 'yer Germany is a considerable buver. and her own plantations would, na- turally, supply her own market as well as other European buyers. How- ever, it takes seven years for cof- fee to commence bearing, so the German competition is that far away. WANTS NEW MOTHER (By Canadian Press) Kingston, Ont, Dec. 12--What Canadian daughter would have the temerity to try to manage her fath- er's personal affairs for him, as a certain young German girl attempts to do, according to the following ad- vertisement in a Munich paper: "For my father, tall, slim, versatile, good- the of a refined lady with a view to mat- rimony." The advertisement conclu- ded: "Am remaining in Munich only a week longer so shall appreciate prompt offers," It is easy to imagine with what a stern and suspicious eye the young daughter would look over applicants for her father's hand, Only a fearless woman could endure such scrutiny, And she would be scarcely the type to suit this daugh- ter, Surely there is family trouble ahead for this Munich fraulien unless good fortune sends in response to her ad a new mother as tractable as her father, WHAT RAILWAYS MEAN The man on the street gives little thought to the service which the railways daily perform, Yet it is one upon which the whole struc- ture of trade, industry and finance depends as the "Commercial and Financial Chronicle" points out: "Tunneling mountains, bride- ing streams, gashing hillsides and fi ling swamps for grades, the rail- roads of the country were builded at erormous cost, daring financial adventure They should be one of the proud possessions of the peopie.

Four other chil- dren, all girls, also were taken by the couple, but the girls all later married. Le .l1 Adoption The elderly couple never learned of legal adoption laws tntil a short time ago when an attorney pointed out to them what might be done with their savings, They then went before Judge Cushing in Centerdale and legally adopted Mr. Duffy, with the chai zing of his name to that of LaPlante, although he had used that name for many years, The four girls, the couple said, were previous ly provided for and now Duffy bes comes the only legal heir to their ese tate StoBIE-FORLONG © STOCKS BUNDS Head Office: Reford Bu BAY AND WELLINGTON STS S.
