Many farmers' - The Cause of Sleep Conclusive proof that sleep is caused by changes in the nervous system instead of in the blood was reported at Moscow, U.S.S.R., last week by Soviet scientists who have been studying Fthe strange case of Siamese twins who have one body but two heads. Although there is only a single bloodstream, one twin gleeps while the other is awake. The twin girls are being stud- ied in the clinic of Professor Speransky who renorted to the Gorki Institute of Experimental Medicine. Air Injection Relieves Pain Injection of air into muscles to relieve chronic pain was demon- strated in the scientific exhibits of the American Medical Associa- tion convention at San Francisco. The air goes in through a hypo- dermic needle and lubricates the spaces along which one bunch of muscles slides over another. The Chinese originated this air grease thousands of years ago, but the modern discoveries demonstrated have resulted in finding virtually a new field in human anatomy and new explanations of causes of pain. Dangers of air injection by un- - gkilled persons, however, are very great. -~Mustard Gas and Bronchitis Mustard gas, which causes 'one of the most horrible deaths in modern warfare, was pictured as a foremost aid to medical science in the cure of respiratory diseases. The 'paradoxical disclosure was made at Philadelphia before the International Hahnemannian As- sociation by Dr. K. A. McLaren of Toronto. The idea of the remedy was born of the homeopathic philos- . ophy of "curing like with like". In its free state the gas causes septic bronchopneumonia. Buti an infinitesmal dose--one part of gas- diluted in 1,000,000 parts of wat- er--has relieved ailments of the respiratory tract in 10 experimen- tal cases, Dr. McLaren said. He said the dilution was effeec- tive against bronchial pneumonia, bronchitis, loss of voice and lab- ored breathing.

WHEN YOU'RE ON HOLIDAY You needn't find a "wilder- ness" awaiting you when you come home again after the holidays. It's just a case of putting in a little quiet preparation during the week before you go. The weeds which, given the chance, grow at an incredible rate as soon as your back is turn- ed won't get that chance if you hoe every bare inch of every " flower bed. The lawn won't look like a hay-field if the mower is run. over it the very last thing, the edges at the same time being trimmed extra close. And the border--cut off every shabby leaf, every spent bloom, every bloom that is nearly spent, every seed pod, and it will wel- come you home with a blaze of color, y : Clip Them Close Be particularly ruthless with carnations, roses and sweet peas, With these take off every bloom or nearly-opened bud that shows. That means some lovely parting- gift bouquets for neighbors. A viola and pansy tip. Take your big scissors and clip to plants close as a shorn lamb. Horrible they'll look but a fortnight will see them as gay as can be. , Water the House Plants Can you get a friend to pop in and water the house plants, No? Well, "here's the alterna- tive; stand them in the scullery sink, put some large water among them, lead strands of thick worsted from the bowls into -the foil in the pots, The bowls of plants then siphon up their sup- plies through the worsted. Another plan is to stand the plants in washing baths and pack soaking-wet sawdust all around the pots. The latter scheme is good with greenhouse plants as well. FRAGRANT GERANIUMS Those who have never grown the fragrant:leaved geraniums have missed one of the real pleasures of gardening. Although often bearing a fragrance similar to other plants--Ilemon, apple, mint, nutmeg--they have a charm all their own. Our grandmothers grew many of them, and, although they were neglected for a time, we are again learning to appre- ciate them. The flowers of these geraniums, which are really pelargoniums, are not as large and showy as those of the common geranium. The flowers of host of them are white or pale pink, often veined a deep- er pink. Viewed closely, they are quite pretty. But it is for their foliage that these geraniums are grown. The leaves of the differ- ent species vary greatly in form, size and texture, but all have a spicy fragrance when rubbed. sss STO IN A MINUTE...

Kaplan, asso- ciate professor of physics at the University of California, and dis- tinguished for his discoveries in connection with the Aurora Borea- lis, found proof of existence of atomic nitrogen in a study of ul- tra violet light bands. In.his laboratory he produced a new spectrum line in the ultra violet region at exactly the the- oretically predicted wave length for atomic nitrogen, This line had been observed in the spectra of the night sky, Aurora Borealis and of comets. Thus atomic nitrogen was add- ed to the known components of the upper atmosphere which are atomic oxygen, ozone, cyanogen and sodium, Mechanical Heart '"Breathes" The mechanical heart which Cok Charles A Lindbergh built to keep organs alive outside the body has "learned" how to breathe, Dr. Richard Bing, of the Department of Surgery of Colum- bia University College of Physi- cians and Surgeons, reports. / The breathing of the Lindbergh heart as Dr. Bing describes it is a simplified version of the human breathing system. Bodies take in oxygen through the lungs. In the lining of the lungs the oxygen is taken up into the blood, where it is combined with other substances to form hemoglobin, meoyecyanin and other pigments which color the blood stream. The blood ves- sels carry these substances through the -body until they reach the tis- sues, where the oxygen is taken out and used. In the mechanical heart, the lung function | of the body's breathing is climinated, the heart being fed oxygen which had al- ready been dissolved.

BIG B The PERFECT:Chewing Tob | T he BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY INVISIBLE WEAPONS By John Rohde Here's an English mystery with plenty of speed and more than the usual amount of suspense. It keeps you reading right up to the last page to find out just how Dr. Priestley, the scientific sleuth, unravels the baffling how's and why's. Inspector Jimmy Waghorn and Superintendent Hanslet always take Dr. Priestley their hardest problems, and he never fails to solve them with a series of bril- liant thought waves. He's a lib- eral education in how to deduct. In fact, if Dr. Priestley isn't a genuine great thinker, we don't know where you'd find one. Here Dr: Priestley occupies him- self with the singular end of Rob- ern Fransham, found dead in the cloakroom while visiting Dr. Cyril Thornborough, of Adderminster. It's a blunt instrument case, and for a time things look black for Dr. Thornborough, whose wife (nicoe of the deceased) is sole legatee under the will. Or could the killer be Alfie Prince, a local pest afflicted with claustrophobia? Dr. Priestley hits his stride when a second murder occurs, lending new interest to the proceedings and stimulating the detective's higher mental centres to a really prodigious degree. The man is uncanny. The Man's Uncanny Following are just a few of the questions posed by Mr. Rhode: Who bought Alfie Prince's old overcoat near Weaver's Bridge? Is Alfie hypnotized, too? What about the plasticine joint in the brick wall? Where is the missile, and what was it? Where was Francis Willingdon at a quarter past one? Did Dr. Thornborough write the note inviting Uncle Bob to lunch, or is it a forgery? Did Coates, the chauffeur, sce anybody in the carriageway just before the first killer, or didn't he?

Planned Fitness in Other Countries : No. 3 (By W. D. E. Donaldson, B. S. A, B. Paed., 0.D., Parkwood Collegiate, Toronto.) How much influence any one country has had on the rest of the world in the matter of the physical training of youth is diffi- cult to ascertain but no one can deny that among the leaders stand Germany, Czechoslovagia and Denmark. Each of these countries has raised the standard of physical health to a point un- surpassed in the history of mod- ern times and each has an or- ganization peculiar to itself. Czechoslovakia Czechoslovakia has no central control but several voluntary or- gapizations. The largest and most truly national is the Sokol Gym- nastic Association which cele- brates the tenth "Slet" in 1938. At present the adult membership is eight-hundred thousand, com- prising thirteen hundred which own their own gymnasiums and athletic fields. To maintain the high standard of physical fit- ness which has been the ideal since the foundation of the "So- kol" in 1862, every member un- der the age of twenty-four years must participate in the weekly gymnastic program. Sexennial Slet The national festival or Slet, held every six years in the capi- tal city, Praha, formerly Prague, is probably the most colorful, in- spiring, and soul-stirring exhibi- tion that anyone could see. At the last Slet in 1932, the boys from six to fourteen years of age were represented by a picked group of fifteen thousand. The girls of theé:- same ages performed in equally large numbers. The adolescent youth, fourteen to eighteen years, marched in, seventeen thousand boys and seventeen thousand girls. The adult Sokols filled the huge stadium with twenty thous- and men and a similar group of women, These numbers indicate the scope of the Sokol Associa- tion. The name, Sokol, which means the emblem of the Associa- tion, a device derived from a fal- con feather, ig itself inspiring. Sokol Slogans The ideals of the Sokol are represented by their slogans which when translated from the Czecho lovgkign language lose much of their "color" but do show why the Sokol is the strong- est voluntary and most democratic Gymnastic Association in the world, Some of these slogans are: 1. A sound mind in a sound body. 2. No personal reward or glori- fication, units | 3. Surmoun iE PNgIfstacles* if vou can, break OW wn if you must, but never given. Denmark--NMicls Bukh While there is no national fes- tival, the attention of the world has been effectively focussed on Denmark through the personality of Niels Bukh. His tour around the world in 1930, the numerous exhibitions in many countries since, the outstanding acclaim re- ceived at the Olympic Games in 1936, and his tour through Poland in 1937 have made his name and the name of Denmark synonym- ous with physical fitness and per- fection of form. No country has had a greater influence on cur- rent practice in Canada than has Denmark. The Maritimes, On- tario, and British Columbia are all using Danish methods for girls, boys, and adults. The Future To assess the precise value of the programs in Germany, Czecho- slovakia and Denmark on the health and physical fitness of the respective nations was not found possible by the British committee on physical education but there was no doubt as to their general value. In these three countries physical fitness on a national scale has been both the ideal and the practice for over half a cen- tury. Great Britain has had a na- tional scheme operating for less than two years. How long is Ontario, how long is Canada going to allow, nay to force our youth to grope in the acamedic fog of books and exam- inations in our schools? When will . national fitness replace the' growing professionalism of ath- Jletics for adults? The physical fitness of the youth and adult across the Atlantic is a challenge to every democratic Canadian, first to emulate, then to equal and finally perhaps to return some of the inspiration which is so freely + offered to us.

Bathe the sore part with warm water before you start, You'll soon limber up Issue No. 28--'38 A--C ' Asks Improved Rural Schools National Importance of Provid- ing Better Facilities Is Stress- ed at Women's Institute Rally, The national importance of pro- viding better facilities for rural education was stressed by Prof. H. D. Southam, of McGill Univer- sity, in an address last week at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, Quebec, to the annual convention of the Women's Institute of the Province: of Quebec. The education of the rural child should not tend to sep- arate him from the community, but rather help him to find life in the country better worth ving. Canada with agriculture as the foundation of her national econ- omy, needs on the farms persons who find pleasure in their occu pation and have a sense of digh nicy in farm life. To Help Agriculture "If agriculture is to function properly, it implies a rural popu- lation contented, highly intelli- gent, prosperous and cultured," the lecturer said. Speaking on "New Develop- ments in Rural Education," Pro- fessor Southam noted experiments being made with larger local units of administration. The inclination was to get away from the small school with few pupils and one poorly paid teacher. The speaker mentioned some advantages of consolidated schools-- better build- ings with better equipment; more classification and grading of pu- pils; broader companionship for country children} more opportun- ity for special studies such as mu- sic, art, handicrafts; and a train- ed and qualified teaching staff Beetles' Coats Produce Shellac Source of Useful Commodity Is A Strange One -- Tiny Insect Lives in India Shellac used on articles which are seen in every home, but not one person in a thousand could name the source of this useful commod- ity. Shellac ig the overcoat or out- side shell of the "laccifer lacea," a tiny beetle which lives in India. About 150,000. shells go to make one pound of shellac. : , Originally the shells were made into a red dye, but now scientists have made a cheaper synthetic dye, equally good. They have tried also to make synthetic shellac, but, so far, all their efforts have been in vain, 70,000,000 Yearly Shellac has a thousand uses. It Is used for sizing cloth, felt hats, millinery materials, playing cards, plaster and paper. It Is used as a floor and furniture protective, is coated on mirror backs, tennis racket strings, tinfoil, gold leaf, rubber, and leather. Linoleum has shellac in it and so has shoe polish, lithograph ink and cold top enam: els, and the wireless and electrical industries use thousands of gallons. The world uses about 70,000,000 bs. annually! Grafting Bone Stops Backache Mayo Clinic Develops Surgery That Takes Splints of a Per- son's Shin Bone and Makes Them Into a New Backbone. Surgery that takes shinbone and makes it into a new backbone to stop backaches Was reported to the American Medical Association con- vention at Sa Francisco lac week, The surgery is something new in bone grafting developed at the Mayo clinic. Rochester, Minn. It takes splints of a person's shin- bones and uses them to lay a bridge six inches lengthwise of the aching part of his back. Two Strips of Shin The bridge is two strips of shin, parallel, like the string pieces of an engineering bridge, chips of bone dropped upon the vertebrae along- side these "bridge bones" serves as "cement." They cause the -hin-bone bridge to grow fast to the vertebraq of the backbone. This natural bridge then induces further hone growth, so that in two or three years, the pa- tient has onli ed vertebrae and a structure stronger than the origin al backbone. From Displaced Vertebras i cures Us aah, The cnuse $ th 46 backbene troubles, it was e%- plained 'by Dr. H.
