Evidence regarding a deadly germ in a duck's egg, described as the first e of the kind in the United King- dom, was given recently at an ad- journed inquest on a 24-year-old wo- man of Stepney; England, says the London Post in a recent issue. John Webster, Home Office analyist, stated that there had beem found a bacillus Aertrycke, in enormous quan- titles in.the organs and. he was. of the opinion that this could safely be pre- caube of the trouble which led to death. The 'mother of the young weman said that on December 23 ler daughter and four other members of the family had a meal consisting of ducks' eggs. Her daughter had had nothing to eat for many hours previously, nor after that before becoming fll. Dr, D. L. Thomas, medical officer for Stepney, stated that the appear ances of the obdominal organs were quite consistent with' those of food He sent some of the or- istry of Health, who reported that "the bacillus Aetdycke was isolated in abundance and death might safely be presumed to have been due to that in- fection." | a "As far as he could make out, .con- tinued Dr. Thomas, there had been no record in the United Kingdom of any A; | cases of food poisoning from eggs, but in French literature there were some [cases In which ducke' eggs were im- - | pHeated. known flower is said to ia, of Sumatra.

In most forelgn countries England 18 looked upon as the Land of the Free, and, In spite of the Defence of the Realm Act, there is one way, at least, in which the Englishman is freer than the rest of the world. It ls only in England that a married man-~can dis- pose of thé whole of his property ab- solutely as he likes when he dies Even Scottish law is different in this respect. There, if a man has a wife and children, the law says thé wife must have one-third of his possessions and the children another third, so that he can do what he likes only with the remaining third. If he has a wife only or children only, the wife or the child- ren are entitled to half, and he is at liberty to dispose of the other half as he thinks fit. * Swe In France a man can only leave all his property to strangérs if he has neither children nor "ancestors," such as parents or grandparents, still Hv. ing. If he bas one child, that child must have at least half. Two children will take two-thirds, and if he hag three children or more, they must ay quarter which he can bequeath to other people. > Only in England is & man allowed to cut off his child with a shilling.

Banish The Blues By Observing Nature's Basic Rule = Those Who suffer from despondency, listlessness and headaches can usually trace the cause of these conditions to constipation. They are frequently brought about by overwork, nervous strain, lack of outdoor exercise or sleep, or improper food, but more frequently by the non- observance of nature's basic rile-- regular thorough bowel elimination. Poisons' from waste matter left be- hind are picked up by the blood and absorbed by the system, weakening the nerves and lowering the vitality. Nujol, the scientific internal lubri- cant, 'corrects constipation in nature's own way by augmenting the supply of nature's lubricant. Nujol by softening the waste matter + thus permits thorough and regular elimination without overtaxing the intestinal muscles. It is gentle, safe i and natural in its action, and can taken for any length of time without any ill effect.
