THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1932 A HEALTH SERVICE © THE CANADIAN MEDICAL CIATION AND LIFEM me. INSURANCE COMPANIES Fae IN CANADA OUR MOTHERS There are many people who believe that a woman, just because she is a woman, knows how to take care of her- self during pregnancy and also how to care for her baby. That such is not the case is shown by the fact that since expectant moth- ers and young have secured advice from qualified per- mothers of children sons, there has been a tremendous re- and occurring in duction in the amount of illness the number of these groups. deaths It was that parents of two or three generations ago their children less than do the parents of not loved today, but their love could not over- dirty "sum- come the diarrhoeas caused by milk, and so what was known as mer complaint" carried off the young children in tremendous numbers. We are given intelligence, and by use of our intelligence we raise selves above the level of animals who have no reasoning power. We progress because we make use of the knowledge which is made available to us from the the our- investigations and experience of whole world. The expectant mother requires cer- tain medical examinations early in her pregnancy. Abnormal conditions can be corrected in the early months, and their correction may save her much suffering; indeed it may mean the saving of her life. Most pregnancies are perfectly nor- mal; the mother has her baby in a natural and safe way. The important point is that no mother can know that her pregnancy will be a normal one. Proper supervision is the only way by which she can be assured that the dan- gers of any abnormal condition will be overcome. Pregnancy should be made not only safe but comfortable. There is no reason why discomforts should not be avoided as far as possible. The mother wants a healthy baby and her own health after confinement. These benefits can best be secured - through supervision during pregnancy and ade- quate care at confinement. During pregnancy, tne quality and quantity of food eaten is of import- tance. Milk, vegetables and fruits should be used in abundance ,as they supply vitamins and the minerals re- quired to build the bones and teeth of the new baby. should seek Friends and they not The expectant mother advice from her doctor, others mean well, but generally do not know. The mother need fear that her baby will be marked be- cause of some disagreeable experience. She should realize that improper food, lack of fresh air, lack of rest and other similar conditions will not only injure her health but will interfere with the proper development of her baby. Both Revenues And Expenses of C.N.R. Reduced August Was Below Last Year, But Eight-Month Period Shows An Improvement Gross revenues of $11,328,017 for the month of August, a decrease of $2,981,793 from the receipts of August, 1931, are shown in the monthly state- ment of 'revenues and operating ex- penses issued at headquarters of the Canadian National Railways. The re- duction in gross earnings during the month was largely offset by a reduc- tion in operating expenses, economies practiced by the management. bringing these expenses down to $11,118,841 or $2,676,933 less than the figure for the corresponding month of last year. Net revenues for August this year were $209,175 against net revenues in August of 1931 of $514,034. 3 For the eight months period of the calendar year, gross revenues of the National System were $93,118,292, a decrease of $24,274,618. Operating ex- penses for the eight months of 1932 Halitosis -- By DR. WILLIAM J* SCHOLES The advertisements of preparations that may be used as a_ mouth wash have made the word halitosis familiar most people. They know that it is the scientific name for foul breath. A letter recently received from a correspondent contains a request fora permanent cure for halitosis. While it would be gratifying to be able to name some one remedy that would permanently cure this disagreeable condition, it is impossible to do so. For offensive breath results from several different causes. What would prove to be a suitable remedy in one case, would be entirely ineffectivee in an- other case arising froma _ different cause. That does not mean, however, that a permanent cure is not possible in many cases. A good way in which to begin the quest for a cure is to visit the dentist. Neglected teeth, which means cavities in the teeth and lack of cleanliness, are perhaps the most frequent cause of foul breath. The necesasry dental work, including the removal of depos- its of tartar from the teeth, will do much to cure many Cases. Visit Dentist Regularly And care must be taken to keep the mouth and teeth clean. The teeth should be carefully brushed twice a day, using a good tooth-paste, powder or mouth wash. But remember, that even though the teeth may cause most cases of foul breath, they are not always at fault. Sometimes diseased tonsils, or a cat- arrhal condition of the nose, throat or were $89,747,008, showing a reduction of $25,467,212 from the costs for the same period of last year. Net revenue for the 1932 period was $3,371,283 as against $2,178,688, an increase in net of $1,192,594. The ratio of operating rev- enues to gross receipts during the first eight months of 1932 was 96.38% as compared with 98.14 for the corres- ponding period of 1931. aed Ho Hints for the usehold SES ts a ¥ HOUSEHOLD HINTS To Clean Flower Vases I have been asked several times as to what is the best method of cleaning flower vases.
