His Pigeons Are "Doves Of Peace" Jack Miner Gives New Name to Pure White Tumbler Pigeons By LANCE CONNERY For-the last ten years visitors to tue Jack Miner bird sanctuary have noticed goodly numbers of pure white tumbler pigeons; which show little fear of human beings and are especially at ease with the younger visitors. Not ordinary birds are these, for -tkey are Jack Miner's "peace doves." § Fitting symbol of the naturalist's aversion to-human and animal war- fare, the birds came to the sanc- tuary after a lecture tour in.which - he visited a friend, Sam Anderson, in Hutchinson, Minnesota, There he noticed the snowy birds, and he aptly called them "peace doves" because of their size, resembling lingering. that of a mourning dove, and thelr spotless white feathers. Soon At Home : + On his return, to his delight he found two pairs of the tumbler pig- eons had been shipped ahead ot him by Sam Anderson. He swiftly had a pigeon house bullt st the rear of the sanctuary pond, and goon the feathered visitors were quite at home in thelr roundings: . They quickly multiplied, and now there are dozens on the sanctuary, They 'are 80 tame that they light on the heads and shoulders of visit- ing children for a reason that soon becomes apparent to the observer. Jack Miner always feeds the birds only when children are presant, so they have come to associate the children closely with feeding time. ® A Simple Moral The naturalist draws a simple moral from the birds. Although Mr, Sam Anderson has passed on, his peace doves are still giving joy 'to the thousands ef visitors ta the Miner sanctuary, he points out. "Are our lives going to do as much for succeeding generations as Sam Anderson's simple act?" Jack Miner asks. new sure Ankles and Feet Swollen with Rheumatism Rheumatism sent this woman to bed with lungs, swellings, and in- flammation. Yet these SYmuloma soon disappeared, as they always will doiwhen the root cause is re- moved. This letter tells you the < method she used:-- "I was taken ill with terrible rheumatic pains in my legs. They were badly inflamed, swollen, and they were partly covered with red, hard lumps, To put my foot down to the ground was agony. After I had been in bed for 16 days, suf- fering agony all the time, my hus- band said, 'You can't go on suffer ing like this, let us try Kruschen Salts.' He got a bottle, and almost from the first 1 felt benefit. Be- fore long, I was completely re- lieved -- swellings, inflammation, and lumps all gone--and I am up again and doing my housework," --(Mrs.) E.L. Do you realise what causes a ood deal of rheumatic pain? othing but sharp-edged uric acid of sluggish eliminating organs. Kruschen Salts can always be counted upon to clear those pain- ful crystals from the.system. HAVE | {0Y T -- Far too many of us have so little conception of the real value of time that we waste the greater part of today either lamenting yesterday or day-dreaming of tomorrow. Now is the accepted time. Remember that yesterday is gone, and tomor- row never comes. --_---- at a tourist camp making use of a comb and brush, a tooth brush, a nail file and a whisk broom: Hillbilly--Gee, mister, are you al- ways that much trouble to yourself? weg i Courage!

Doctors Explain Causes of Fear They Aim to Cure Unhappiness, Morbidity by Treating Them Like Mental Illnesses A mental treatment for the mil lions who are morbid, unhappy, fearful, unable to make decisions and haunted by feelings of insecur- ity was reported to the American Psychiatric Association meeting at San Francisco, last week. : The treatment is entirely talk. But it is carefully selected, almost like lectures explaining mathemati- cal theorems. The treatment has been used successfully on thous- ands of persons, the authors of the report stated. Tension Is Relieved Psychasthenic is the medical term describing this borderland _state._ It arises initially, the report stated, from lack of security in childhood and early life. To the victim lite becomes a "minute to minute battle." He Is under constant tension and his dream of utopia is a state in which no tension exists. In general, the report stated, this victim, whether man or woman, Is equal or superior to the average person. The first step 'In the mental 'treatment is to teach that the con- © flicting thoughts "are in reality only the stored content of the mind." Both mental, physical and emotional states which are common to all persons are very carefully explained. If the psychasthenic can be made to listen attentively, he is likely to be cured. Elephant's Life Elephants show no authentic records of having lived as long ag man, in spite of their reputation for long life.

' 1 IIl--THE VALUE OF SCHOOL NURSING IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND TEACHING OF HEALTH Miss H. M. Carley, B.A. (Windsor-Walkerville Voc. School) No doubt, by this date, parents of adolescent children are aware that the Department of Education in To- ronto, through the course initiated this year, {is 'stressing the need of an extensive and intensive Health programme. The general public may not be familiar wjth this de- velopment. The general public should be made aware of it as their taxes are providing the newer type of education. } Let us, at eight-thirty in the mor- ning, find ourselves in the office of the nurse at the Windsor-Walker- ville Vocational School, the only school in Ontario. with a full-time nurse-teacher on the staff, Prevent Spread of Epldemic In a student body of nearly 2,000 boys and girls of adolescent age there are always some pupils who neéd attention such as examination of throats or noses for colds; need temperatures taken to detect gerl- oug illness; need dressings changed on cuts and wounds, All students who have been absent because of Illness have to present a note from home and' have to be questioned, and examined: if: necessary, before they are. admitted to their classes. Because of this examination a con. tagious disease is noted at once and a epldemic avoided. There is never a widespread disease {n this school ~--thanks to the nurse. The eave of the {ll is not confined to the half-hour before nine o'clock; but all day long patients may be gent to the infirmary, students who are ill, or who have had an accident in sport. In any emergency, first ald Is rendered. Sometimes a life is saved by First Ald. If the {Jiness or accident needs the attention of a doctor the nurse makes the appointment with the doctor. If the doctor finds upon examination that the teeth need at. tention, the nurse makes the con- tact with the dentist for the pupil, A Confidential Friend The nurse neéds to be a kindly, sympathetic, friendly personality as frequently a pupil wishes to discuss his or her mental or physical health with some one. The tactful nurse becomes the confidante and friend of the puzzled boy or girl. Part of the Job Taking care of the sick pupils is only part of the school nurse's job. Every pupil must be examined by the school doctor and an accurate and detailed record kept by the nurse. A school nurse not only has to be a graduate nurse, but also one qua- lified to teach, to do soclal service work and to have a wide knowledge of humanity, personality and safe living standards. By the time the pupils leave the school 'they have had a thorough knowledge of the construction of their bodies, and how to keep them healthy. Any defects which they had when they came into the school, and which could be correct. ed have been attended to, and they are ready to start life with a clean, h~althy body. tos Thin, strong papers- That's Chanteolqgr ft) 4 Jig 2 // (Fra nlecte CIGARETTE PAPE every one perfeqtly gummed- ml DOUBLE { oti RS 0 BE I CO aw > 3 -- = Twwoey g Notes... give the family more than a patch of Plcked fresh each day, they may be used in a variety of desserts, with the surplus being canned or preserved for twenty to twenty-five feet wide and 1 fitty feet long will provide berries for the average family. teen inches apart in feet. apart. using a hundred each of four varie- ties, will make for a practical gar. den. ty, like Fairfax or Premier, a hun- dred of a medium early, like Dor- sett or Catskill, a hundred of a late variety, like Chesapeake, and a hun- dred of an everbearing varlety, like Mastodon, will anced planting.

The BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY > "HEREDITY AND POLITICS" 'oglst, Prof. J. B. S. Haldane, sels forth author's views on various eugenic now under wide discussion in the civilized world. He declares that drastic social changes, supposed to be based on biological facts, are not justified: by our present sl knowledge of the science of hered- ity. The time is not yet ripe. to bear on such social problems of science as the nature of racial dif- ferences and the sterilization of the unfit -- problems around which controversy rages today, in conse- quence of the stringent controls ex- ercised recently in Germany. He. presents in .no uncertain terms his own findings that the premature applications of the laws of heredity to men, wome» and nations results in untold confusion. He also criti cizes the wide powers given to of- ficlals in the United States and elsewhere, for the sterilization of the unfit -- an e"'ort which will yield 1. tle result, he says, and lead to grave abuses. significantly with these words: "we must remember that the investiga- tor, whether a biologist, an econ- omist, or a sociologist, is himself a part of history, and that if he ever forgets that he Is a part of history he will deceive his audience and de- ceive himself."

It's the longest covered bridge in the world, The structure stretches 1,282 feet, It's nearest rival, in Norway, Is 200 feet chorter. The government pays a man $100 to $150 every winter to put snow on it so sleighs can get across, Nearest Rival 200 Feet Shorter The bridge also has gained fame because it presents an optical illu. sion. When a motorist drives across it at 23 miles an hour, small cracks between the board sides the span appear to run togethe permitting a perfect and apparent. ly unobstructed view of the river, as it the bridge had no sides. When the river was first spanned in 1898 the structure was open. It was built by a company whose bonds were guaranteed by the gov ernment, and payment was exaéted for all trafic, For years it continu. ed to be the only toll bridge in New Brunswick, with a keeper collect. ing 10 ¢ from teams and five cents from pedestrians, Advocates World Economic Parley In Which All Nations Co-oper- ate--U.S. Secretary of Com- merce Urges Positive Defense of Democratic System Daniel C. Roper, U. S. Secretary of Commerce, suggested in an address last week at Duke Uni. versity, Durham, N.C, a world-wide economic conference "in which na- tions would co-operate for the equit- able distribution of the basic raw materials of the world." "Representative democracy," he sald, "can survive only through vig- orous, affirmative assertion of the will to survive. Government every- where is In a ferment of change, and if we are to save our system, there must be positive defence of it, against enemies, within and witliout, by those who believe in it. Distribute Raw Materials "May we not associate with these endeavors needed study of other nations, their civilizations and ob- jectives? ) "Effective to this end would be a world-wide economic conference in which nations would co-operate for the equitable alstribution of the basic raw materials of the world. This would serve to arrest the fear of economic insecurity and contri. bute the peace and happiness for all." The United States form of gov ernment, Roper said, in its world relationship ia expected to provide a gulde to others in "demonstrat. ing the value of democracy as & torm of government under. which people are most content." Eskimos Appear Vanishing Race Total Eskimo Population In World Is Only 36,000; Canada Has 7,000 Instead of the Indians, the real- ly vanishing race in Canada are the Eskimos. While the Indians have become adapted to the ime pact of civilization and are gain- ing-in population, the numbers of the Eskimos are on the decline. So we are told by Richard Finnie, of Ottawa, in an article in Forest and Outdoors. Only One-Third Left According to Mr. Finnie, the Eskimo population of the world today is not more than 36,000, and of that total about 7,000 live in Canada. The present Eskimo population is estimated at only about a third of the population that once roamed over the Arctic wastes. The storybook Eskimos, who lived in snow igloos, subsisted. and hunted with bow and arrow from sealskin capoes, he states, no longer exist. 'Today the Eski- mos live for the most part in can- vas tents or wooden houses, hunt with rifles, fish from power boats, eat canned goods, smoke tobacco and drink tea. Exposure to Ailments = It remains to be séen whether this is a good thing for this primi- tive race. The period of adjusts ment of a primitive race to mod- ern conditions is a difficult one, and in the case of the Eskimo the time of transition has brought him exposure to ailments and influs ences he was not trained to resist. The casualties in the process have been heavy. He may now be entering upon a new phase in which his experience will follow the course of the Indian.
