Mother of Five Who Was Always Tired Now Awake* as Fresh as a Daisy A mother of five has a lot Lo do. Especially a country mother. And this one was "always tired." But Kruschen ended all that â€" now she gets up, feeling fresh, at five o'clock in the morning! She writes: "I find Kruschen Salts the best thing money can buy for my health. 1 am the mother of five children, and before taking Kruschen, I was always feeling tired and run down. Now, i am gfad to say that I get up feeling fresh â€" and I get up at five o'clocli in the movning. I do my housework, look after my children, and leave the house at ():30 to start my daily work." â€" (Mrs.) B. Ti'redness and that run-down feel- ing can be traced to one root cause. That cause is internal slnggishness; failure to keep the inside free from poisonous, waste matter. Kruschen Salts is an e.xcellent recipe for maintaining a condition of internal cleanlfness. The numer- ous salts in Kruschen stimulate your internal organs to smooth, regular action. Your inside is thus kept clear of those impurities which, when al- 1 . 'Jed to accumulate, lower the whole tone of the system. Physician Gave Himself Cancer Hopes to Prove Theory That Can- cer May Be Transmitted by Direct Inoculation A little, grey-liaired Cuban physician sat in his study at Havana tlio other night, occasionally rubbing several lit- tle hard spots on his left arm which may eventually cause his dcalli from cancer. But to Dr. Mulias Du(|iie, Cuba's first Secretary of I'ublic Hcaltli, these little risings under his skin meant something mor« important than the life of one human betng. He hopes they will prove jjis theory that cancer may be transmitted from one person to another by direct in- oculation anil tlius provide a specific clue for the tlevdopment of a cure for the disease that takes hundicdis of lives annually. Voluntary "Guinea Pig" Last October the TO-yearoIil doc- tor became a voluntary "human Kiiinea pig" for cancer experiment. Ho had himself inoculated four times with "filtrates of cancerous elements." taken from a cnncerous tumor re- moved from a woman patient. Small subcutaneous hardnesses are now appearing whore he was inoculat- ed. They have been developing slowly for nearly a month. Dr. Duque says ho cannot yet class- ify the little clots, but believes ihey may be the beginning of a cancerous growth. The doctor gave up regiihir prac- tice years ago to devote the rest of his life to cancer research, after two members of his family died from the disease. Boars Win From Bears In Battle A fight to the death between wild boars and bears recently occurred in Yugoslavia. The boars won. The battle followed a huge drive by peasants against the animals which had been doing tremendous damage to crops in the district. This hunt led to several families of bears and a pack of bo^rs being corner- ed in a forest glade. Then the fun started. The animals forgot the hunters and started a free fight. Boars and bears fought desperate- ly for an hour and then the bears fled, leaving a number of dead be- hind them .

Newton Rowell at Opening Session at Winnipeg of the Royal Commission On Dominion-Provincinl' Relations. The same spirit of tolerance, cour- age and faith which enabled the Fathers of Confederation to achieve Canadian unity 70 years ago, will en- able the Canadian penpla to solve all their present problems. Hon. .Xowtou Rowell declared at Winnipeg bufore the initial session of the Royal I'om- niission on Dominion-Provincial llchi- tions. Commission's Task He declared the commissions latlc was: 1. To reexamine the economit; iiiid flnundal basis ot Confederation and the distribution of legislative i>oweis in the Itght of economic and social developments "f the last .seventy years. 2. To investip;ile the character and amount of taxes collected from the people of Canada and to tlfit(irmine whether taxation as at present allocat- ed and imposetl in as eciuitable and as efficient as can lie ilevised. 3. To examine public expenditures and public debts in general in order to determine the ability of the Domin- ic 'â-  and Provincial governments to discharge their constitutional rcHpnn- sibilities within the frame worlt of the present allocation of powers or on Ihe basis of some form of realloiatlon thereof. Seek Balance of Relationship 4. To invcstigalo the whole (|iies- tion of Dominion subsidies and grants to provincial governments. This nec- essarily involves the question "f whether a system of subsidies iiud giants to provincial governmeiils Is the best method of enabling provinciitl governments to dischaige their re- sponsibilities or whetlier there are more effective alternatives. 5. Following these inquiries the commission Is instructed "to (^insider and report upon the tacts disclosed by their investigations and to express what. In their opinion, subject to Ihe retention of the distribution ot legis- lative powers eBsentlal to a proper carrying out of the federal system in harmony with national needs and the promotion of national unity, will best effect a balance of relationsliip be- tween the linaiulal powers and the ob- ligations and functions of each gov- erning body and <ondiico to a more efficient, .iidepeuilent and economical discharge of governmental respousi- bililies in Canada." CHRISTMAS TIMES Oh, what joy there is in living on Christmas; What a charm there is in living on Christmas. What a pleasure 'tis to see children dancing MeiTily 'round the decorated tree on Christmas. Is your heart becoming a little more soft?. . . That's the spirit of Santa Claus, .oming only once a year, but splendid even lor so short a while. Visitor â€" Do you think it is proper to use profanity to a mule? Farmer â€" So far as my own feel- ings are concerned it Is highly im- proper. But when you are trying to get along with as sensitive and ex- acting an aninial as a mule,^ you've simply got to humor him. "Of all the things you wear, your expression is the mot.t important." She â€" Funny no one semed to real- ize what a had e.^,"? he was while he was rich. He â€" My dear, a bad egg is only known when it's broke. .

'I'hird â€" V.'lien they understand it. .Ml tlie world loves a fat man, if he answers to the nai'ie of Claus.

Ted -^ Oh, Hiiitling Bloke, the tighter, is having a tooth pulled. One of the big secrets of happi- ness is to tackle our work joyously. To attack it witli gusto and a smile. To wade into it with the spirit of a contiuerin.'; chief. When one works joyously at the wood pile, the ledger, or the typewriter, the hours flash by, the .sunshine enters our heart and the world seems a good place in whicli to live. To come to our work with a grouch, a frown, and inward reluct- ance, is to <'ramn our creative en- ergies and stifle our power to think. The Joyous spirit is the spark that gets things done! It releases a (low of ideas. It makes the chips fly. Joyousness attracts the best. Tourer â€" So your daughter is go- ing around the world during the Chvistmas holiJay.s. fs she prepared for the journey? De Tourerâ€" Well, she can say "NO" in 12 lantrunoreK.

Traveie;- â€" Such as what? .Negro Waiter â€" Such as it is, sah. The train roared past the station. Above the noise the station agent heard a yell. Rushing out to the platform, he saw a man sprawled out alongside the tracks. A little girl was standing: -•^gent â€" Dili lie try to catch the train? Little Girlâ€" He <tid catch it, but it got away from liim. We give up luxuries for war. Do we give up luxuiics for peace? Hare Cycles Said Ten Years Apart Northern Snowshoe Rabbits Are Found to "Die Off" Every Decade The popular b^lii f ihat the snow- shoe labblts ot Canada's north woods die off every seven years is challenged In a report on a four-year study of hare periodlcitj', just published. The cycles are nearer 10 years in length on the average, it is st.i(ed. The study was made by Dr. D. A. MacLiillch under the joint auspices of the deiiartnient of biology. University of Toronto, and the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology. Vary In Different Areas It concerned only the varying hare, LepuB AnierfcanuB, which also Is called the snowshoe rabbit. This is MARKS THE SPOT You'll magnify Christmas Cheer for the man who "Rolls His Own" â€" with a gift of Ogden's Fine CofI colouifuli/ v/iapped for Chiiitmas giving.

The reiKiit of Dr. MacLulicIi found that hares do not reach their peak of abundance or begin to liie off in tlie same year in all parts of Ontario. Hare nopulations were found to vary from about one to a square mile In times of extreme scarcity to more thai} l.ouO in the same area tn times of abundance. Highest number on- countered was in the north part of Fionteuiic County in July, 1932, when ihere were 3.400 lo the square mile. Thief Sells Goods In Owner's Absence A furniture dealer was recently asked to call at a house and valus some goods. When he arrived he was met by a woman in a dr< ssing-gowa who showed him round and offered him some real bargains. The dealer jumped at the offers, loaded the bap gains on his van, paid cash and drove away . Two days later he discovered that he had not removed all the goods h« had bought. He went liack to th« house hut could get no I'epl.v. Then out came a ncighliour who informed him that the tenants were on holi- day. The police are still searching for the woman in tlie dressing-gown, w^ho was really a burglar. She wal selling the furniture of the owner! while the house was unoccupied. Chance For life Given Ontario's Children By Hospital For Siek Children Paralysis Epidemic Re- minds Province of Type of Service Given Every Day For 62 Years Like a spectre out of the dark ages, Infantife Paralysis (Poliomyelitis) appeared In Ontario homes late last July. Rich and pooi-, old and younj; city dweller and farmer â€" all were hit. Appearing without warning, striking wherf least expected, the horror spread. By late August an epidemic of major proportions was with us. School opening was !-â-  stponed over a great portion of Ontario. Children died before they could be rushed to hospitals. Nearly every parent in the Pro- vince was concerned and took what prec.mtions .seemed best to have children avoid contacts which might bring the Rhastly plague to them. But my.stery .still snrouds the way In which tliis dread disease Is spread. Then, the Iron Lung became front- page news. In all Ontario there were only three Iron Lungs .^vall- able. Telephone enquiries to Boston and Monfifal inanufncturers pro- duced the indefinite nromise that MAYBE in ten day.s^ or two weeks ONE could be .shipped. T!ut children v-orc in dauijcr, lives wero at strl:e. IHON LUNGS were needed at once. S;i the offii-ials and .staff of The Ilnspitnl for Sick Chil- dren decided to build IRON LUN'GS themselves. In less than eight hours, a crude but workable wooden lunii was finishedâ€" less tli.Tii 30 minutes i>efore the doctor had â- ^aid a little patient would die unless a respirator could be provided. Four more Iron Lungs (wonders in design and opeiation) were rushed to completion in as many days. En- thused workmen gave up Saturday. Sunday and the Labor Day holiday to fabricate the steel shapes and parts under ;he direction of Hospital officials. These machines went into in.stant service. The Provincird Department of Health then asked that twenty-three more IRON LUNGS be built with all possible speed, so that children from every part of the Province might be provided the only possible chance for life during the later stages o. the disease. Thus was the emergencv met ". y The Hospital for Sick Chiltlien when many lives were at stake. There was no thought of expense or human limitations. "The job had to be done, and was done despite the fact that it meant night and day service for many, many weeks. But this is just tvpical of the ser- vice The Hospital i> r Sick Children has rendered for over CO years. Every hour of every day and night some emergency must be met. Tha life of a child, precious to some family. Is at stake. It is only when dozens of similar cases occur at the same time that the work becomes "news." and can be called to the attention of the public by the press in a spectacular manner. Neverthe- less, the work goes on hour after hour until the days and months and years total deci:drs of service to the needy children of the Province. Every emergency situation creates costs which moutit up far beyond the normal provisions of government and municipal grants. But, unlike most other hospitals. The Hospital for Sick Children has no large qroup of Private V.'aid beds from which fo draw extra ri"'vriu!o which can be apolied to Public Ward service. Over 400 of the 420 hcC? are in Public Wards. No help is received from the fund collected by the Toronto Federation for Commtinitv Service, as patients are t,>ken from nil over the Province. Sirk and ciinnlcd children must be siveti nieriiral attention and hos- oital care no mottrr what their cir- cumstance. No (,r.j would deny tiiem this right. This worthy institution has just started its annual Christmas appeal for funds to enabfe its work to be continued in just as effective a man- ner as in the past. Those who have investigated all agree that The Hospital for Sick Children makes most careful use of charitable donations and bequests-- a world-wide recognition for effi- fiency and economical opeiation has l>een earned.
