RHEUMATISM CREPT OVER HER »«f««=«ng los. Of 10 Millions Began in Knee, Spread to Arm, Neck and Back AMAZED AT EFFECT OF KRUSCHEN The insidious thinit about rheuma- tism is that â€" like age â€" it creeps on unnoticed until one day you find yourself in the cruel grip of the uric •cid fiend. That is what happened to this wonuin : â€" "I first suffered with rheumati.-.m ^^mm^ •bout 10 years ago," she writes. "It ''^ ^ J^^9\ i began in my left knee and ankle, which swelled, and sudden pain often caused me to stumble and call out. Then it appeared in my right arm, causing sleepless nights. It incrcved ia severity, coming on suddenly in â- â€¢ek, shoulders, and back, the at- tjeka usually lasting 3 or •» days- The rheumatism became more gen- •ral, and I could not raise my arms, pr put them up behind me without iroanin?. I bought a bottle of Krus- ehen Salts, took it. and was amazed tt the effect Pain.<i went, energy emme, and now I walk and work with great vigor.

M. G. | If you could see the knife-edged crystals of uric acid under the micro- ' scope you would readily understand why they cause those cutting pain-". -And if you coultl see how Kruschen dulls the sharp edges of those cry- stals, then dissolves them away alto- i gether, you would agree that this ' scientific treatment must bring relief from rheumatic agony.

It is said that 65,000,000 people, half the population of the United SUtes, "listen in" on the radio more or less habitually. The psy- chologists, who study the human mind and its activities, have begun to Investigate the field of radio. The Harvard psychological laboratory is one . of the pioneers in this survey. The laboratory set out, in its ex- periments, to bring together an "av- erage group" of radio listeners and observe their reactions to messages transmitted over the air. For one of these experiments eighty people were engaged to go to the laboratory an hour a day for seven days. They were equally di\-ided as to se.x and represented various age. occupation- al and educational levels. They sat in a hall and listened to the broadcasting of material from another part of the building. Ten trained speakers from the Emerson College of Oratory, Boston, five men and five women, talked over the radio, reading material which rang- ed all the way from advertising mat- ter, political speeches and news re- ports, to poetry and philosophy. Every hearer had a little book con- taining several printed questions, and at the end of each experiment he wrote his answer. In the book were such questions as these: "Do you like female an- nouncers?" "Was the voice persua- sive?" "How well do you think you know the personality of the speaker from his (or her) voice?" "Hosv attractive or pleasing was the voice?" "Do female voices carry over the radio as well as male voices?" The replies revealed many amus- ing and interesting facts. One was that ninety-five per cent, of the listeners preferred men broadcasters. Another was that people are much more sensitive to atfection in the voices of members of their own sex than of the other sex. A third was that women, much more than men, consider themselves adept in Judging personality on the basis of Ihe spoken voice. Although, as has been said, nine- ty-five per cent, of the listeners in this series of teste preferred men announcers rather than women, in more than half of the experiments women's voices were rated as more attractive than men's. That choice w^as based on other considerations, namely, women an- nouncers speak in a more agected manner than the men, the male voice is pitched lower, is more per- luasive and carries better over the air. • • * The belief that a speaker's voice discloses his personality is more or Ims widespread, and the Harvard Investigators decided to look into that phase of the question. So, the group ot people described above was asked to listen to speakers and then identify their height, age. com- pexion, handwriting, vocation, po- litical allegiance and degree of ex- troversion or introversion. It was found that, although the auditors j agreed to some extent in their esti- 1 mates of personality, they were not so accurate as they imagined them- ' selves to be. i For example, in one experiment ' the subjects were told they would hear a professor of English, a psy- chologist and a journalist, and were asked to determine which voice be- longed to which profession. It happened that the psychologist was a native of South Africa and | had an English accent; as a result! he was consistently put down as ; the professor of English. The "poetic ' voice" of another speaker led a large number of listeners to rate | him as a Socialist. Insects to Bla.iie â€" Parasites Introduced To Offset Damage Ottawa, â€" "The average annual damage to the forests cf Canada, caused by insects, may approximate in value that caused by fire, or near- ly $10.0OO,O<H) annually," .said R. D. Craig, at the recent conference of the Dominion Entomological Branch. Dominion Department of Agricul- ture. The extent to which insects carry on their destructive work is not read- ily realized by the forest authorities, he said, nor by those engaged in the forest industries. The introduction of parasites for biological control, is one of the most effective means cf direct attack. Great credit, he claim- ed, if due to the branch in this field. Fungi is also another cause of gre^t loss in the forests. The forests of Canada cover 1.1501 00 square miles, or about one-third of the total land area of the country. The stand of merchantab!« timber is estimated at 165,880,000 cubic feet, valued at $1,639,000,000. The young growth is placed at 400.000,000 cubic feet. About 82 per cent, of the ac- cessible timber of conmieAia! size is coniferous trees, 11 per cent is in- tolerant hardwoods, wbite birch, and poplar, and seven per cent, tolerant hardwoods, yellow birch, maple and elm. caiue up in the Hou^e of Commons, and it was sUted that the pensions consisted of a number of fee farm rents formerly payable lo the Crown, but granted by letters patent it 1676 to three trustees in trust for mem- bers of the Fenderell family.

At a temperature at 450 degrees centigrade there waa a yield of motor spirit equal to half the amount of rubber used. At 350 degrees centigrade a pa'.e yellow lubricating oil was obtained equal to about an eighth of the bluk of rubber. This lubricating oil had certain disadvantages â€" which, it la thought, could c>e corrected â€" but the motor spirit, water-white and free from impurities, would be suitable for use in cars with only ordinary dis- tilling.

The domestic dog is restricted greatly in his selection of food. The chance that he will receive a balanced diet when fed table scraps and occasional pur- chases of meat or m.eat scrap from the market is indeed small. Unfor- tunately the commercial dog food in- dustry is^of such recent development that unless discrimination is employ- ed, unless the dog owner is willing to confine his purchases of com- mercial food to a few of the well- known and thoroughly reliable firms, he should see'ic the advice of his veterinarian as to what to feed his Qog. An improper diet is a direct cause of many ailments ct dogs, not only of the digestive system but of the bones, the eyes, the skin and other organs. Further, it lowers their resistance to disease and to parasites, thus increasing the likeli- hood of illness and lessening the chance of recovery. The desirability of a dog for a pet depends very much upon how it is fed. Contrary to popular belief, glass, powered or broken to particles vary- ing in size from very fine to fairly course, do not cause death when in- gested by dogs. The whole or by far the greater portion of the glass given passes through the alimentary tract in the course of 96 hours with- out causing ill effects. I thought this would be of interest to owners and breeders of dogs, and would appreciate it very much if you would publish it in your paper.
