THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE ONT. THURSDAY, JAN. 17, 1935 RHEUMATISMJJREPT OVER HER Began in Knee, Spread to Arm, Neck and Back AMAZED AT EFFECT OF KR USC HEN The insidious thing about rheumatism is that--like age--it creeps on unnoticed until one day you find yourself ir the cruel grip of the uric acid fiend. That is what happe. ' to this woman :-- "I first suffered with rheumati about 10 years ago," she writes, 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 increased in severity, coming on suddenly in neck, shoulders, and back, the attacks usually lasting 8 or 4 days. The rheumatism became more general, and I could not raise my arms, or put them up behind me Without froaning. I bought a bottle of Kruschen Salts, took it, and was amazed It the effect Pains went, energy came, and now I walk and work with great vigor. I foresaw myself becoming crippled with rheumatism and old before my time; but I have not, for I am now very brisk and lively, and equal to the strain of at- Great Lakes Never Lower St. Lawrence Le from man's point of view, becaus they carry 0n chemical changes.

They appeared when some of the crushed rock was "cultivated" in a peptone soil extract suitable for growth of bacteria.

M. G. If you could see the knife-edged crystals of uric acid under the micro-cope you would readily understand why they cause those cutting pains. And if you could see how Kruschen dulls the sharp edges of those cry-' ' , then dissolves them away altogether, you woulU* agree that this ientific treatment must bring relief sm rheumatic agony. Kruschen Salts is obtainable at Drug Stores at 45c and 75c per bottle. Radio Listeners Get Taste Test (Douglas McGregor, in Harvard Alumni Bulletin.) It is said that 65,000,000 peoph half the population of the United States, "listen in" on the radic more or less habitually. The psychologists, 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 experiments, t0 bring together an "average 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 divided as to sex and represented various age, occupational and educational levels. W 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 ranged alHhe way from advertising matter, political speeches and news reports, to poetry and philosophy. Every hearer had a The report shows the follow in;; average levels: Lake Superior, at Port Arthur Huring Nov. was 1% inches lower than October; 2% inches higher than November, 1933; S% inches lower than the highest November (1900) since 1860. Lake Huron at Goderich during November was three inches lower than October; 2% inches lower than November 1933; 2% inches lower than the previous lowest November (1933) since 1860, and 38 Inches lower than the average level of November for the last 74 years. Lake Erie, at Port Colborne, during November was inches lower than November, 1933; 9*4 inches lower than the previous lowest No. vember (1933) since I860, and 31% inches lower than the average level of November for the last 74 years. Lake Ontario, at Kingston, during November was 3% inches lower than October; 9% inches lower than November, 1933; 9% inches lower than the previous lowest November (1895) since 1860, and 33% inches lower than the average level of November for the last 74 years.

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. Turning Milder In Past 50 Years Gradual Rise in Average Temperature Shown in Most Sections, F.

"How well do you think you know the personality of the speaker from his (or her) voice?", "How attractive or pleasing was the voice?" "Do female voices carry over the radio as well as male voices?" The replies revealed many amusing 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 affection 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 the spoken voice. Although, as has been said, ninety-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 was based on other considerations, namely, women an-speak in a more agected than the men, the male : pitched lower, is more per-and carries better ov ria.--Although the Pacific coast is experiencing some of the coldest weather it has had for some time, F.

Records for Toronto and Montreal show these cities have experienced a gradual rise of about four degrees. Montral's record cold year was 1875 and 1931 was the warmest. Alberta and the Maritime Provinces are tied in third place, both being about three degrees warmer.

Myers and J. C. Mauer, of the research laboratories, National Dairy Products Corporation, of Baltimore. As little as 10 to 15 parts of silver per million parts of water destroyed about 250,800 germs per cubic centimeter of water. The silver took and a half hours to kill this many bacteria. It was in the form of silver ions, exceedingly minute particles of the metal, broken up so that es carried a small electrical charge.

Lip-man, of the University of California This travertine came from Terrace Mountain in the Yellowstone National Park. It adds one more to a series of recent discoveries indicating that rocks are "living" in one sense analogous to plants and animals. The bacteria inhabit their interior fine structure, taking part in the exceedingly slow chemical changes which over millions of years constitute the "life*N)f rocks--the period during which they disintegrate and return to dust. Professor Lipman said the Yellowstone travertine came from extinct calcareous springs. The stone was laid down by a whole series of the springs. Certainly hundreds of thousands, and possibly millions of years, was required to form this travertine. Whether the rock bacteria were originally imprisoned in the travertine while in its soft formative stage, or whether they entered through minute cracks developing after is not I known. Other scientists, however, have found evidence that many of the rocks are invaded by germs as fast as the process of disintegration permits. The travertine germs are threadlike. What they may do to travertine in unknown. There is no evidence that they can cause human or animal diseases. The first guess is that they belong to the innumerable multitude of bacteria which are useful Record Year In Canada's Gold Up $17,891,763 -- 1934 Increase Is 11th In Row For Dominion Ottawa, -- --The 1934 value of Canada's gold output at 1102,242,000 established a new high record in the value of production in this country for the llth successive occasion, the Minister of Mines W. A. Gordon stated recently. In 1933 the output value was $84,-350,237. This year's output in fine mnces totalled 2,964,395 a slight in. Tease over 1933. "To the hundreds of thousands of shareholders, the majority resident in Canada, the goh try disbursed in 1934 000,000 in dividends,' sai|fMr. Gor-don. "This compares wi« the 1933 disbursements :at $23,428,000." The development of the Dominion greater work to his department in that "more' tests were made and ex. periments conducted in our ore dressing and metallurgical laboratories in 1934 than in any year since the department was established"?.' Approximately 50 new gold milling plants entered production during the past year said the minister, and in practically every case tests' and experimental work in connection with mill treatment processes were conducted in the department's laboratories. By far the greater percentage of the new plants were using treatment methods or slight modifi-sations of such methods as had been devised by the staff of the ore dres-sing and metallurgical laboratories. "Anticipating the current interest in gold development, the government in 1931," sated Mr. Gordon, 'added a minergraphic section to the laboratories for microscopic and spectroscopic examinations. The meliness of this addition made to facilitate and to expedite the work of the staff has since been amply deni. trated. The laboratory facilities are made use of by both large and small companies but they have been of particular value to the smaller companies and syndicates with limited funds at their disposal. Canada's gold industry is fully appreciative of the value of scientific io. Ottawa.--Convicts in Canadian penitentiaries'are now receiving money payment for their labor which started with the New Year. Brig.-Gen. D. M. Orcnond, superintendent of penitentiaries, announced on the authority of Minister of Justice Hugh Guthrie. They are being paid at the rate of five cents a day for each day they work, provided their conduct and diligence is satisfactory to the warden and provided they are not undergoing punishment or deprivation of any privileges for offences against rules and regulations. The new rule is designed to courage good conduct and dilige on the part of convicts undergoing sentence and to provide them a small sum of money with which to maintain themselves on their release until they can secure employ-In addition to the five cents a day for actual work done the convicts are allowed five cents a day for each day of remission they have earned at the time of their release in excess of 72 days. Under the rules convicts are entitled to six days remission a month for good conduct until they have earned 72 days and thereafter to 10 days a month. A convict with 100 days' remission to his credit is released 100 days in advance of the lormal expiration of his sentence. With the start of payment for labor the free issue of tobacco to convicts is discontinued. But convicts will be permitted to obtain up to one-eighth pound of tobacco each week and 30st will be charged against one half of his remuneration. Thus a vill be able to spend up to a half cents a day on to- When a convict has more than $50 his credit he may hiave some or all of the amount of $50 coming to him paid to his dependent next-of kin. Apart from this and from the purchase of tobacco payments will only be made to convicts on their release.

Gains biggest Firm in Province Mines Million More Tons in Year Glace Bay, Nova Scotia---A heartening uptrend in Nova Scotia's great coal industry was evident recently in the Indication that 1934 production of the Dominion Coal Company, the province's largest mining concern, would outstrip last year's by a full 1,000,000 tons. The output Prom the company's collieries at the end of November was 3,450,882 tons. Production for the whole 12 months of last year was only 2,597,945 tons. The large increase, bringing with it fatter pay envelopes for the miners of nine large collieries, has been brought on chiefly, in the belief of officials, through improved business conditions and lessened competition markets reached through ship-it of coal to St. Lawrence River ports. - Growing Deaf With Head Noises ? Try This ! If you are growing hard of hearing, and fear catarrhal deafness, or |f you have roaring, rumbling, hiss-Jng noises in your ears, go to your druggist and get 1 oz. of Parmint (double strength) and add to it U iint of hot water and a litt e sugar. Take 1 tablespoonful four times a lay. This will often bring qui :k relief From the distressing head noises, flogged nostrils should open breathing become easy, and the mucous rtop dropping into the throat. It is jasy to take. Anyone who is threat-jned with catarrhal deafness or who has head noises should give this prescription a trial.

The chance he will receive a balanced diet ..... fed table scraps and occasional purchases of meat or meat scrap from the market is indeed small. Unfortunately the commercial dog food industry is of such recent development that unless discrimination is employed, unless the dog owner is willing to confine his purchases of commercial food to a few of the well-known and thoroughly reliable | firms, he should seek the advice of his veterinarian as to what to feed An improper diet is a direct cause of many ailments of 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 likelihood 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 varying in size from very fine to fairly course, do not cause death when ingested 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 without 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. Time Clocks "Undignified" So German Laboring Men Officially Informed By Government Berlin.--German laboring men were informed- officially last week that time clock punching was undignified.

The manifesto continued: "To the soulless employers asking who will pay for the time so spent, I reply Vou are men not machines."' Ley claimed that many factory managers had reported to him that their staffs were so inspired with the joy of work by the adoption of this scheme that their output had been raised tremendously.
