Te ) FIRE. Every fire is unnecessary and most are inexcusable. Day after day gur fire engines are called out by ignorance aud folly snd the whole community puts its hand in {its pocket to pay for the blaze. Insur- ance is not paid by the insurance companies, It is paid by us all. It is a tax, invisible but Neavy, which adds appreciably to the cost of all merchandise and all éervice which is bought or sold. It may be as tiresome to re-read as it is afflicting to re-write the old warnings, but line and precept must be repeated, for at every itera- tion they lodge in the corner of| some mind to which they never be-| fore had access.

The danger of fire is especially acute during the season of winter festivi- ties. With the promiscuous smoking which goes on there at dances it seems merely a matter of time till some fool flips a butt into a recep- tive corner and all the fire brigades in the country would be useless against the next chapter. Those historic boards look actually hungry for fire. Nor are dancers the only ¥ftenders. The "NO SMOKING" signs in the offices and corridors downstairs should either be enfore- ed or remoyed. 5 The property committee is exer- cised over this urgent matter and has discussed the alternatives of setting aside a room for smoking at dances or of tiling the halls and stairways. With the sufficient back- ing of public opinion they might well do both. No avoidable risk should be taken with that precious building, i » MISCHIEF IN "REALISM." Those who have observed im.cur- rent flotion the results that have come from the attempts of the writers to make their stories realistic will be dubious about the plan of the motion picture pro- ducers, as announced by the direc- tor of one of the big film corpora- tions, to bring out photoplays that are faithful to life as it really is. The novelists have in many cases, in their zeal to present characters such as are actually found in the world, stripped them of the decen-| cles of life and exposed them, fig- uratively speaking, in all of their nakedness. 'Realisni" has been of- fered as a justification for the many disgusting novels which have been published during the last few years --novels so sordid and shameful that a "clean books league" has been formed to combat them. It is greatly to be hoped that nothing of the sort will be emma in the movies. { The film diréctor referred to says life's realities are not to be glossed over hereafter. Sjckly sentiment is to be relegated to the limbo of forgotten things.

Before decregeing auto-- mobile prices and increasing in- comes brought the automobile with- in the reach of even the lowest wage earners it was generally . lamented that our people--true children of the out-of-doors--no longer recog- nized this coveted birthright of their forebears and that the bulk of the nation's population was denying itself the forésts, plaine;, tsrea birds and flowers. i _ Thanks to the automobile, all this" has been changed. Immediate contact has been established by the automobile between the open spaces and the thousands who before saw the sky only through a haze of smoke and from between the canon- like walls of city streets. There was 2 time when every person consid- ered it his inalienable right to com- mune with nature at least part of each year, either in woodland 'camp, by coursing inland streams, - with gun or rod, by outings for the day or overland travel om foot or by horse. Then came a period when grow- ing cities and expanding towns con- sumed all time with social and busi- ness cares and duties--the out-of- doors was forgotten except by the few who recognized the fallacy im sedentary civilization. The ranks of nature-lovers was gradually thin ning year by year until the auto- mobile industry assumed its enor- mous proportions and good roads. drew continuous streams of motor- ists out of the cities into the coun- try. Open automobiles carrying their own camping outfit have sup- planted closed raflroad cars and Pullman sleepers in touring the New World. . It is moet evident that the auto- mobile within the past decade has more than tripled the number of picnic parties, camping excursions, tourists and lovers of the out-of- doors and its trees, sky, fields, ani- mals and flowers. Reformers {frenz- ied with present day morals should find solace in this back-to-nature movement and doctors may expect a vacation now and them in the future. That Body of Bours Be James W. Berton MD, Young, Keeping . You have been reading gwith in. terest from time to time, about the operations which some of our older folks are willing to undergo, to try and win back a youthful appearance, I'am not referring to the beauty operations on the face, which ap- parently have been attended with good results in many cases, but to the transplantation of glands to the human body, or operations up= on the glands or vessels near them. This has been tried on very small animals with some success, but on the higher animals without much success. It would be hardly fair therefore to say much about it at this time. : However, what I had in mind ie this, that one of the big points about this matter, is the desire of the man or woman to be youthful again, That they want to go about, to dress, to enjoy life to the full, is a sign that they still have - some energy within them. 'What is my thought? That they should remember that the biggest and bést things we get out of life, are what we accomplish By our own efforts. That Instead of looking to the surgeon for their youth, for ability to work or play, that they should be thinking about their body as their most valuable earthly pomses- elon, and that they should try to give it the thought and care it de- TVES. fs) - That they should let the family doctor examine them thoroughly. and with the knowledge gained thereby, work out a system of living that will keep them " By YALE 8. NATHANSON, B. Sc., M.A. Department of Psychology, i University of Pennsylvania Cured by Hypnotism. Does hypnotism have any value? Can it cure disease? Yes, hypnotism does have i very definite value and is not only im- portant as an ald in general medi- cal practice, but does cure certain kinds of diseases. In surgery there is no end to the value of hypnotism. Often an oper- ation is necessary on -a perdon to whom, it would prove sefious to use ether. These persons are, instead, placed under the hypnotic spell. It is-suggested to them that they can- not feel pain in the area where the cutting is to take place and then the operation is performed painlessly. One great surgeon has reported more than 300 major operations performed under hypnosis and sev- eral thousand minor operations, Hypnotism has been used very successfully at child birth, amputa- tions, and in fact in all cases where an anesthetic is ordinarily used. The advantages of this method is that the patient does not have to abstain from food for a long time before the operation, as is done with ether; their nervousness about the opera- tion can be eliminated; is is plea- sant and absolutgly devoid of dan- ger; it can be induced easily and the patient awakened at will; - the patient can be placed in any posi- tion during the operation, which is often a great advantage to the sur- geon; there is no feeling of sickness after the operation as that produc- ed by other anesthetics; and finally, because of the absence of pain dur- ing and immediately following the operation, the patient seems to re- cover more rapidly. Thé only rekson why hypnotism is not more generally. used is be- cause it is difficult to get a person so deeply under the hypnotic spell as to make him immune to pain. However, it is used in many hospi- tals throughout the world. As to the other benefits to be de- rived from hypfiosis there are many cases on record. An actor complained that he was afraid that he would sometime -for- get his lines while on the stage and be forced to give up his work. He wag placed under hypnosis several times and while under the spell was assured he need not fear such a happening. Soon the fear vanish- ed and he returned to a successful stage career. Y J A girl was successfully cured of fits of stammering by hypnosis, All types of hysteric. outbursts have been treated by it with highly satisfactory results. ' Indigestion, headaches, nervous- ness, drug "persons : unable to sleep at night, those who have indescribable fears or who worry unduly over various matters--per- sons who fall into any of these classes have been helped or entirely cured by hypnosis. These cases, to be found in the medical records, testify to cures by hypnotism, Tomorrow--Walk Off Your Trou- bles. . January 13th. Three-quarters of a century ago, monarchs made gifts and grants of lind with a lavish hand. Vancouver Island, the largest island on the Pa- cific coast of America, was granted on this day in the year 1849 to the Hudson's Bay Company for coloniza- tion purposes. The intrepid Sir James Douglas was afterwards made Governor of the Island. It was nam- ed for Capt. George Vancouver, who had explored it ih the years of 1792- 94. Capt. Vancouver lies buried in his English homeland, and recently représentatives of British Columbia planted B.C. fir trees upon his grave. i ~ KINGSTON IN 1855 Sidelights From Our Files-- A Backward Look.
