Tsber. To provide the drug trade with essential mint, imported from Japan and Hong Kong before the war, farmers in Quebec province are developing mint cultivation on the black earths of their own land. / j ft Vj-*, ^ r Look! Listen! Live! M Two women and three small children drove up to a railroad grade crossing. The gates were down to protect the motoring public from mn approaching train. They stopped their car in a sale position. Another automobile approached from the rear, rammed into the standing car, and knocked -it through the lowered crossing gates into the path of tne^Rpproaching passenger train. The woman driver was killed and the other occupants Qf the car injured. -- This Is typical at accidents of this character whic^ are occurring almost daily. In more than 80 per cont of such' accidents, the crossing has some special protection such as gates, flashlight signals, wr ' "hman or bells. But these warning measures, which have been installed for tiie protection of the traveling public, often are ignored. The National Safety Council is conducting a special campaign to stop these accidents which, every day delay 3S trains & total of 2'Z hours -- a damaging tirain on the nation's wm: trar^ortntica effort. From Blanket to Comforter The woolen blanket that is torn i or worn so thin that it seems in danger of falling apart cart be converted into a good-looking practical comforter. Encase it in a printed cotton blanket cover, catch it in several places with color-fast yarn, apd the result is an almost new bed covering. When soiled it should be washed like all woolens, in a heavy lather of mild soapsuds and water Ntt.above lukewarm temoeratiutft." _ The Important Thing The bitterest disappointment one <Mn have Is to fail to get something one wants greatly at that time of life when one is aware of the truth that in another year or two the thing one wants now will have little or no value. Little Ada, in Ellen Glasgow's novel, "Vein of Iron," was broken-hearted when she couldn't have a doll with real hair. Her grief was greater because she knew that in a little while she would be too old for dolls. To get pleasure from * doll with real hair, she needed the doll then and not later.

Your physician may advise operation whereas in a case of the same type of goiter in another patient you know that he has act vised X-ray treats ment and in another rest and medical treatment. ; Why should there- be three methods of treatment for the same ail§,> ment? One reason is that for the averagti' individual surgery is considered best because the patient can withstand; the operation and can be back at< his work sometimes within threeweeks after operation. I have spo*1 ken of a physician friend who before operation had a pulse rate of 110 to the minute, who walked into my office three weeks after operation and I found his pulse rate 72. Why, then, should treatment by X-ray be given which may take rnonths to get the results obtained by surgery? There are two reasons. First, some patients naturally object to surgical operations, and second, some patients would not likely withstand operation well. Treatment by rest and medicine is used in early or mild cases only. It is not many years ago that patients with Grave's disease traveled hundreds of miles to have a noted surgeon operate for removal of thyroid gland-goiter. Today practically every hospital has one or several surgeons who perform this operation. Thus the Lahey Clinic, Boston, ill Annals of Surgery, reports 19,700 thyroid operations with a death rate" less than one in every 100" operations. When we remember ^hat the great majority of these cases are of the severe type of goiter and many may enter hospital in late stages of this disease, it can be seen how "safe" this operation has become. ~ * Dr. Lahey does not advise operation on cases that can be treated by rest? and medicine even though operation would bring about a cure in much less time. He points out that as there is no fear of death in the patient's present condition, awaiting the result of rest and medical treatment involves no danger. < • • • Treatment of Stomach Ulcers Ulcer of the stomach (gastric ulcer) is due to the same causes as duodenal ulcer which is ulcer of the first part of small intestine into which stomach empties the food after the stomach has done its part of digestion. In fact, a duodenal ulcer can be located just a fraction of an inch from the stomach. Both the stomach ulcer and the intestinal ulcer are called peptic ulcer and are treated in about the same manner by diet, medicine and surgery. THE ONLY ANSWEB A countryman heard that thd Job of watchman at a single-line railway crossing was vacant. "You'll have to undergo a strict examination," the man in charge said when he applied for the job. "Ask me anything!" bragged tt}e applicant. "All right," spoke'1'up the examiner. "Supposing you are at the crossing and two trains ar^T comiag along from opposite directions, what would you do?" "I'd blow my whistle.** „ * 3 "Supposing your whistle W&S out of order?" "I'd always wear a red shirt, and I'd take it off and flag the trains." "Let's say this happened at night." "Then I'd swing my lantern." "But suppose you had no oil ill your lantern." "In that case I'd call my sister." • VYour sister? What for?"

Boss--Well, well; who is the lucky girl? And He Did At an eastern camp a chaplain saw a new soldier, in civilian clothes, about to leave camp. He had been discharged, he said, and was going home. Then he unfolded the story: After 12 days in the army, the soldier told his sergeant he didn't like it . . . thought he'd go home. The sergeant, busy at something, locked up. "Scram, buddy," he said briefly. "And," the soldier told the chaplain, "where I come from 'scram' means 'go home.' " m >-•,•-•4*6*-' v CHURCH SERVICE! •t.

VERMONT^ IM OLD GLORY WA^ NOT ADDED LINT I 1795- FOUR WARS AFTER 5HE BECAME AN EARIV LANW OBLIGED EVERY VERMONT TOWN TO KEEP A GOOD PAIR OF 5TOCM IN "THE MC^T PU&UC PLACE--' A $TATE -- s4$ Ledger Syndicate M V -mr (WNU Service) V / S#T;' It so happens, however, that while stomach ulcer is not so common as duodenal or intestinal ulcer, unfortunately stomach ulcer turns into cancer more often; about 10 to 20 per cent of stomach ulcers develop into cancers. In the Post Medical Journal Dr. Rodney Maingot, London, England, states that as far as symptoms are concerned the stomach ulcer cannot be distinguished from an early stomach cancer, therefore, the chances taken with a patient with ulcer o^ duodenum cannot be taken with" a patient with a stomach ulcer. For this reason he suggests that patients with chronic stomach ulcer should enter hospital instead of undergoing home treatment. If by special diet and medical treatment in hospital the ulcer does not heal they should undergo surgical treatment, because early operation saves lives. The medical treatment of stomach ulcer in hospital is bed rest, test meal examinations, tests for "hidden" blood in stools, complete examination of the blood, examination of stomach by gastroscope which by means of a mirror enables the physician to see the lining of the stomach, the barium X-ray examination. In addition to removing any infection (teeth, tonsils, gall bladder) : present, the size, shape and position of the stomach are drawn on • spe- I cial chart. . • • • • QUESTION BOX Q.--Is drilling of the teeth necessarily painful?
