'The method of treatment was advanced by Dr. Ev- an V. Shute of London, Ont, and his brother, Dr. Wilfrid E. Shute of Guelph recently. Dr. W. Ford Connell, professor of medicine at Queen's University, suggested in a letter to the journal that some patients with heart dis- ease have felt better after taking vitamin E but that their improve- ment was psychological, not physi- cal. Dr, Connell added that he had knowledge of treatment with the vitamin in 20 cases "and the results of these cases were dis- appointing." Dr. Robert T. Noble, registrar- treasurer of the College of Physi- cians and Surgeons of Ontario, has recommended that the Ontario De- partment of Health establish an im- partial inquiry into the value of the treatment.

J" He also was ordered dis- missed from the service, Although the jewels he was charged with taking during his custodianship of the Bank of Japan vaults were valued at first at $210,000, the court reduced this to $92,000, Murray himself, in the only statement he made to the court, said he was ignorant of the dia- monds' value until aftér he had taken them home in March, 1946, and a diamond broker offered his wife '"'a price which astonished her by its size." "To the best of my knowledge," his written statement asserted, the diamonds "were never in the custody of the United States" uns til he himself handed them over to customs officials who had challenged and searched him in San Francisco. He has never revealed the source of the gems, saying only, that they were not in American custody, and that only he was in- volved in their acquisition.

Suspend Sentence For Wood Theft Evidence for the defence 'was heard in the case of Michael Lupul, 171 Mitchell Avenue, in Magistrate's . Lupul was found guilty of a charge of retain- ing stolen goods, taken from the property of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In passing sentence Magistrate F. 8.
