And foot ball, unfortunately, always seems to bring with it a tragfe little list of in- _ juries. It is a 'hard, bruising game, and every yea: we read about a dozen or more boys going 'to the hogpital -for their participation in it. ~ Luckily, ther era ecertain things which can be done to reduce risks --and a good many of them can .be done on the high school fields, School officials of one large city, for instance, recently agreed that, in their high school games hereafter, roferees will compel all players to wear their head- guards, . To snatch oft one's headguard and hurl it toward the sidelines is a fine, romantic gesture--but it can be a costly one, especially for the player who isn't as well schooled in the busi. ness of avolding injury as are older players. It high schools everywhere would adopt this one simple rule, it is prob- able that at least a few names could be kept off the casualty lists.--Guelph Mercury. ' Means Much to Canada; Utilization of Canadian iron ore in the Canadian iron and steel industry was one of the interesting topics at the meeting addressed by Hon.' Earl Rowe, Ontarlo Conservative leader, and Mr. Rowe promised to interest _ himself in endeavoring to secure an increase in the bounty in order to de- velop iron mining in .Canada. This {8 a subject in which Algoma 1s very much interested, for in; this district there are billions of tons of iron ore waiting to be mined. The Helen Mine with its 100,000,000 tons of ore proved up is only one of many deposits in this district and in other parts of Northern Ontario. Should this industry be set int mo- tion it would mean work for thou- sands of Canadians, a new market for the produce of the farmer: and the output of our manufacturing plants, new _ business for Canadian railways. It would mean the reten- tion in this country of large sums of money now sent elsewhere, The mining of iron presents a big opportunity for industrial develop- 'mont and any movement from any source to assist in setting it on its fect will be sure of support in this part of the country.--Sault Daily Star. Wireless on Lake Boats . Possibly this tragedy (the loss of the Sand Merchant) will open up again the question of wireless equipment on lake boats as a safety safeguard.

A Course in Marriage Should a modern university give a course on marriage? This ques- tion was raised in Syracuse some time ago; and when 613 students signed a petition asking for -it the university decided to provide the course, and last year it met with reasonable success. © Five different departments of the university were concerned in it: psychology, biology, sociology: home 'economics and re- ligion, and they all contributed their quotas. But the question is: can this sub- ject be taught in such a way as to be of real benefit? The professor may be a successful married man him- self, but can he tell others just what has made his marriage a success? "In some cases, the true answer would be that the wife was the chief author of such success as had been attained.

THE EMPIRE . What Use Is Gold? The Bank of England has bought £40,000,000 of gold this year, and there it lies filling a hole in the vaults. Gold has some use in filling holes in teeth. Otherwise it is useful for us in the Empire to dig it out of the earth and sell it to foreigners who are foolish enough to pay for it. But it is useless for us to dig it out of one hole, sell it to ourselves: and then bury it in another hole. To re- fuse to sell it is a piece of stupidity. Gold brought us near disaster in 1931, It will hurt us again if the gold policy is persisted in. -- Lon- don Daily Express. _ : Eat Correctly For 'Health and Beauty Modern Science Shows That Many of Our "Combina- tions" Are Erroneous .. -- Many of our pet supérstitions about foods, cooking methods and digestibility are being shatterea by scientific investigations and research There are, of course, some persons with whom certain foods do 'not agree.

Some foods after being digested dnd util ized by the body have an acid re- action in the blood and others are alkaline. But you can't tell by the taste, Thus although lemons are sour because of the organic acids they contain, their effect is alkaline. Apples, muskmelons, oranges and potatoes have been found experi. mentally to be very efficient in re. ducing body acidity. The practice of eating acid foods in the same meal with milk or of sing milk or cream on fruits has been condemned. However, the acid is actually a help rather thah a hindrance to milk in digestion. It is a common practice to beat orange or lemon juice or tomato juice into milk or to sour myk artificially for persons with weak digestion. Pancakes, waffles, muffins and hot breads of all varieties are not in themselves unwholesome focd, but they have a bad reputation with many people.

More Swine ~~ Being Raised OTTAWA, -- Recently small re- ductions were reported in the number of horses, cattle and sheep on Can- adian farms, by the Dominion Bur- cau of Statistics as of June 1 last compared with the same date a year ago. The number of hogs, however, increased by 23 per cent. This increase in the number of hogs was sufficient to more than offset the reduction in other classes and the total number of animals on Canadian farms rose from 18,700,- 000 to 19,267.000. The number of horses at June 1st was 2,918,900 as compared with 2,- 931,300; cattle, 8,819,100 as against 8,820,600; hogs, 4,169,700 compared with 8,379,700 and sheep 3,370,000 as against 3,668,600. In comparing the 1936 and the | 1986 totals for the Dominion, allow- ance must be made for the fact that the estimates for the Prairie Prov. inces for 1986 are based upon the censug returns, while the 1936 fig- ures were estimated from the card survey." 3 f The census return for the three Prairie Provinces showed a compari. son with the last census five years ago.

Miss Lang, far from being a wall- flower, is easily one of the screen colony's most eligible young lalies.

This was no small undertaking ag there are close to 100 Oxford Group. visitors coming into the hotel daily for meals during the campaign started here this week.

Dirty Dishes Called "Disease Chain' U.S, Scientists Declare Many "Washed" Ones Carry Germs; Method Important - NEW ORLEANS. -- A cleanly: washed drinking glass, when verted on an unwashed tray, picks up on Its rim 40,000 to_50,000 bacteria. Most likely in its new dwellers are: pneu: monia, tuberculosis - 'and = influenza organisms. - Link In Disease Chain This glass is a link in the "disease chain of dirty dishes" which the American Public Health, Association was informed today never has been broken.

E Young of .the District of Colum- bia department of health Want of knowledge of how to wash dishes in public eating places, they said, by overlooking. little bets like inverting a glass properly, is putting back into circulation many of the 99 per cent. of aiséase germs which medical men thought they had banned by purifying water supplies and milk, : The water purification, they said, saved 100,000 lives annually from typhoid alone. Milk purification saved 200,000 babies annually.

How the flu germs hop-the dish chain is unknown; but Dr. Cumming said their presence en masse is known 'since there appears to be adequate proof that the disinfection of eating utensils affords about 80 per cent. protection against influen-| za "distribution." Safe - dishwashing, declared both cheap and feasible, has been worked out in the Washington laboratories, Take the dishes from the wash water, Dr. Cummings said, and put them'in a. rinsing dish, which 'may contain either 170 degree fahrenheit water; or water containing a sotutfon of hypochlorite. After that it is safe to rinse them, even in cola water, The result, he noted, is a 99 per. cent. reduction in the bacteria, "That." he concluded, "is equal to that obtained by the sanitation of our public water and milk. supplies."

D. H. Drum- mond, minister of education for New South Wales, said on his arrival here recently. ' Industries in Australia today are thriving however, Mr. Drummond said due to the Australian Government's policy of creating employment by do- nating large portions of the capital needed for public works. The money was used for wages that took work. men off relief rolls and started subsi- diary industries operating to provide necessary materials for building. The policy has proved successful, stated Mr. Drummond, and Austral- fans; well out of the depression, are now thinking of the question of de- fence also interesting Canada at the present time.
