WHEN IS A MAN OLD? The announcement of Lord Derby, as Chancellor of Liverpool Univer gity, that all its professors will be asked to step aside at 65 will prob. ably give fresh impetus to the still unsettled question which appears at the head df this article.

THOSE FREE PARAGRAPHS. St. Thomas Times-Journal. Newspapers aré generally so gen- erous in the matter of giving fre publicity to this, that and the other organization, that there are many members of the public who have lost all sense of proportion in this mat. ter. A man walked into our news department the other day, an- nounced in loud tones that he had left "some advertising" downstairs, and as & quid pro quo handed over a typewritte manuscript with a re: quest that it be published in the mast conspicuous place possible. Investigation disclosed that the ad- vertisement referred to consisted of eight words; the matter to be published free was about half a col- umn. It does not seem to dawn on some people that a newspaper lives upon the space it sells, just as a butcher, a grocer, & baker or a shoe retailer lives upon the commodities he sells. They look upon & newspaper as & vehicle for the free publication of paragraphs about forthcoming con- certs, tea-meetings, lectures, meet- ings, games, and what not; but they never dream of entering a retail store and asking to be presented with a shoulder of lamb, a sack of sugar, a quantity of bread, or & pair of shoes. Yet it would be just as logical '(or illogical) for them to do 50 as Ao demand an inch or a foot of free space from & newspaper. Broadly speaking, there is usually very little "news" value in an event before it happens, After it has hap- pened it does become "Hews." ex?

That Body of + & 8 = 4 ° - Two St. Louls physicians have asked the profession to investigate a simple treatment for vomiting. As you know, vomiting is simply the reverse motion of the intestine upon its contents. As its muscular sides work, they squeeze upon the contents whether food, water, or gas, and should send these contents downwards, but in vomiting the ac tion is reversed, and food, mucous, or other matter, is forced upwards and comes out of the mouth. These physicians had used ordinary table salt, a 2 per cent. solution, in a certain condition where they wanted the intestine to act in its regular way, and found this simple solution hurried the aétion. Tne result was so surprising that they tried it out in a number of cases of vomiting with great success. They sfate that "it seems Almost Incredible that so simple a remedy should not have been hit upon earlier." We know that luke warm salt solution has been used to induce vo- miting almost as frequently ag mus- tard and warm water. Yet these physicians have founa that if the salt solution, 3 per cent., is cool, that it checks vomiting, and induces the intestine to move its contents downwards in the proper direction. Thess physicians give a list then of thirty cases, all of whom ware suffering from severe vomiting. They were all given amounts of the solution varying from about two to four ounces. In every case, there was immediate relief, although in a few cases the vomiting came on again in a short time. Now the point about - to you and me, is that some of bur usual remedies such as adrenalin are not always at hand, whereas Salt is in every household. Further no harm can drise from He treatment, so that one may feel safe in adminis- tering it. For convenience' sake it might be well to use about a half teaspoonful of salt in a half cupful of cool water. This will be easy to remember and is near enough. Should it not stop the vomiting the first time, try it again, as the salt is harmless. I belleve it will be worth our while to try out this sim- ple remedy suggested by our St Louis friends. \ NATURE LORE: Wallace Havelock Robb What we think of wild animals and birds, of their comical ways and their habits, is certainly interesting, but did you ever wonder what they must think of us ?
