Anne de Bellevue, P. Q., says G. T. S. Calder, writing in the current issue of the C-I-L Oval. Parasitic worms, which are in no way related to the earthworm or the lug worm, do an enormous amount of damage to livestock and probably form the greatest single source of loss in Canada. Work to date which has involved the carrying out of over 12,000 experiments, indicates that the most likely means of ridding Canada of the menace of these worms, many millions of which are swallowed during the lifetime of grazing animals, will be through the use of chemical fer- The BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY THE DARK RIVER By Nordhoff and Hall Messrs. Nordhoff and Hall's last novel, "The Hurricane", made a most popular "movie," and you can have considerable fun casting this new work, "The Dark River," for it will be gobbled up by Hollywood faster than you can say Dorothy Lam/our.' Laid in the setting which these gentlemen may rightfully claim as their own private literary background--Tahiti, "The Dark River" is one of their more sentimental works, concerned with polite Polynesians far removed from the rough characters of the "Mutiny on the Bounty" story, and abounding in lofty romance and quiet, discreet emotional conflicts. A Lovely Nature The story is based upon a familiar and perennially effective device-- that of one woman, a native Polynesian in this case, appropriating the infant daughter of another, an Englishwoman who dies at childbirth, and bringing the child up as her own. The authors thus create a-lovely daughter of lush Tahitian nature, wandering among the glades and tropical streams of the island with the abandon and dark beauty of a native girl, but with pure English blood in her veins, a fact comforting somehow to Nordic readers. The love story of the girl is the main theme of the book. When the collaborators on this novel write of the natives, of the storms and primitive life on these deserted islands, they catch some of the sturdy vitality of their earlier adventure books. Their novel has enough momentum of events and energy of characterization, too, to make it easily digested. The Dark River, By Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall. . . . 336 pp. . . .

Salmon Not So Smart, He Says Salmon which breed in tho headwaters of fresh water streams and spend their adult life in the sea are not as smart as they have been supposed to be, says Dr. A. G. Huntsman, of the University of Toronto. It has always been believed that salmon swim far out to sea and then find their way back to the same tiny stream in which they were born with the accuracy of a homing pigeon, he declares. Actually, the fish must remain within the fresh water area where a river empties into the sea or they become lost and never return, Dr. Huntsman declares. The return migrations from the sea to fresh water also depend largely on floods or freshets which give the fish their cue to start up the rivers again.

POULTRY RAISERS Check ROUP (.Bronchial Flu) With a Few Drops of st Issue No. 29--'38 Health In Secondary Schools How Are Canadian Teen Age Boys And Girls To Keep Fit? V-HOW TO AVOID TUBERCULOSIS By Dr. Norman Russell St. Mary's Hospital, Timmins, Ont. The following article, in a brief way, will try to outline what I consider the best method of controlling tuberculosis. In order to appreciate and intelligently carry out any campaign against tuberculosis one must have at least a working knowledge of the pathology of the condition. (1) Every individual who lives under the ordinary conditions of civilization is infected after birth and at some period between birth and adult life with the tubercle bacillus. (2) Such, infection, although it produces a definite body reaction, is not necessarily followed by disease. (3) In the vast majority of cases the individual deals successfully with the infection and all that remains is a minute scar. (4) In a certain percentage of cases, however, manifest disease occurs at a later date, this being due to re-infection by the tubercle bacillus either from within or from without and this re-infection is commonly preceded by a lowered resistance on the part of the individual. Control Active Disease It is obvious from the above that we can have very little hope of avoiding contact with the tubercle bacillus throughout life. Therefore our efforts must be directed to controlling the amount of active disease and consequent deaths from this all-invading organism. From invasion by the tubercle bacillus which is ubiquitous there is no escape. Sooner or later everyone is infected and if the primary lesion occurs in early life and the dose is massive the patient succumbs. If on the other hand the primary lesion heals and perhaps succeeding small lesions heal without any manifestation of disease then the individual's resisting power will be gradually raised to a point where he will be protected under any ordinary circumstances for the rest of his life. First Act of the Drama Therefore it is perfectly apparent that the solution of adult tuberculosis depends almost entirely on the study of tuberculosis in children. It is in the children that we see played the first act of the drama of tuberculosis which may go on to adult tuberculosis unless the patient dies of some other condition or we are fortunate enough to control it. It is an established fact that the death rate from tuberculosis is decreasing. It has gradually decreased from first place to sixth place as the cause of death in all the age groups. But we must remember that tuberculosis is still by far the leading cause of death amongst adolescents and young adults. Methods in Preventive Work Bearing all the above points in mind it can be readily seen that the schools should be the centre of preventive work in tuberculosis. It is not suggested that the schools should be burdened with any more than they now have on their hands but it is perfectly obvious that the school is the logical point of attack. The question of ordinary hygiene is taught in all our schools and undoubtedly is a factor in control and also the habit of spitting is a bad one and the question of bad housing conditions plays an important part in the spread of .tuberculosis. All these things, however, are secondary to an intelligent tuberculosis survey of your children carried out year by year. The* method I would suggest is as follows: (1) Get the co-operation of either the Medical Health Officer or if he seems indifferent, find some medical man who is vitally interested In children. (2) Enlist the services of your school nurses and also district nurses in making the survey. (3) Buy your tuberculin in quantities large enough to do your whole group. (4) Get the written permission of the parents to have the test done. (5) Do an intracutaneous tuberculin test on each child from the kindergarten up to the top forms in the high school.

The world today needs a collective system more than ever, Dr. W. A. Riddel], counsellor at the Canadian Legation, Washington, declared last week in addressing the final session of the conference on Canadian-American relations at Orono, Maine. If enough nations wanted that system, they could get it. Former permanent Canadian representative at the League of Nations in Geneva, Dr. Riddell said he was convinced where the League and affiliated organizations failed it was due to "the irreconcilable attitude of a few of the powerful shareholders to the principles and policies of the company." Only Permanent Foundations These nations "either did not want peace or they did not believe the words of President Cleveland that 'mutual advantage and convenience are the only permanent foundations of peace and friendship between states'." As the years passed, said Dr. Riddell, the, original inheritance of Canada and the United States, their machinery for settling disputes asd their voluntary agencies "have paid substantial dividends which has greatly enriched our heritage of goodwill." Such a heritage made the two countries good neighbors. This could not be said of many countries. In many parts of the world, the heritage of the past was the greatest stumbling block to good neighborliness. Their experience justified fear, suspicion and distrust. conscience Boxes" "Conscience boxes" for passengers who have omitted to pay their fares have been placed in Johannesburg trams and buses. Wheat fed, or to be fed, to live stock and poultry in Canada during the 1937-38 crop season has been estimated preliminarily as 18,938,000 bushels, as compared with 15,794,000 bushels in the 1936-37 season.

In Sweden's new reformatory at Skena each boy has his own room with comfortable furniture, a playroom has games and radio, no walls surround the building, and windows are not barred. "No talking pictures may be shown in church," declared Dr. R. G. Parson, Bishop of Southwark in provisional regulations for his diocese in England, but he will permit approved silent films. KEEPING CUT FLOWERS FRESH With garden flowers plentiful at this time, junior gardeners will be interested to know how to keep them fresh after they have been cut. The first and most important step is to cut carefully. Flowers should never be pulled or broken from their stalks, but cut with a clean, slanting cut. This can be done with a sharp knife, or a pair of specially constructed scissors which do not pinch the stems as do ordinary shears. Cutting the flowers on the slant prevents the stems from resting flat upon the bottom of the container, thus closing the many tiny cells. Most flowers should be picked in the early morning before the heat of the sun robs them of their moisture. HoT/aver, according to an announcement made by Cornell University, gladioli, when cut in early afternoon, last longer. They may be cut when the first flower on the spike begins ' > open. Most flowers should be gathered just when the bud is unfolding, although dahlias last longer if cut when fully open. This is also true of crysanthemums. Don't Crowd Them Any leaves which have a tendency to decay in water should b- removed. Keep the flowers for a few hours immediately after cutting a -l before arranging in a container of water deep enough to allow the water to come just below the flow r parts. This treatment also often revives flowers which appear to have wilted. The water should be changed daily and a piece of the stem cut off. This helps to preserve the flowrr. An ice cube dropped into the water two or three times a day also is beneficial. Flowers, just as human beings, need air to breathe, so do not crowd them tightly in a narrow ;on- CLOTHES PINS IN THE GARDEN When cutting a new edge for flower bed or lawn, or truing up an old «dge, use a string or cord ra- ther than rely upon the accuracy of your eye. In spite of his years of exp -ie . - a professional gardener y "1 always "run a string" to keep his edges straight. Common clothes pins can be very useful in holding the string or cord in place. Even though the cord may be tightly run from end s'-.ke to -end stake, one is apt to move the cord back and forth with the edging tool, unless it is pinned in place at freq.ent intervals, with clothes This same method of using stakes, string and clothes pins can be employed for planting straight rows of seeds in the home vegetable garden. THEY SPROUT THEIR SEEDS Interesting customs of the enterprising Dutch gardeners might be follow d by gardeners elsewhere who wish to speed germination of According 'o a plant breeder who came to thi; country from the Netherlands, the Hollanders place seeds in a cloth bag and hang the bag in a nearby canal overnight. The bag is taken out and hun% for 48 hours in the cow barn, where it is warm. By this time the seed has sprouted and it is broadcast by hand in the garden plot. Gardeners need not, of course, hunt up a canal or build a cow barn, but they may hang the seeds overnight in any water-filled container, then place the bag in a warmer place for two days and nights. This practice is especially recommended for beets, carrot and spinach seed. ^Scratching p„ SELIEyE 'TC"'NQ In A Minute •ootbe th. Irritated akin.
