W§ Danger Season | For Motorists Drivers, Pedestrians Warned a HEALTH IN LIGHTER VEIN: Music From The Spheres. 0 "It DOES taste good in e pipe!" > HANDY SEALTIGHT POUCH - 154 TEN mY | gidas, TE } SRE 1 ay = = NRA on Sn , To Use Caution -- Shorter Daylight Hours Partly Re- sponsible for Higher Death Toll on Roads A call for double care by both motorists and pedestrians was is. sued last week by W. Gillert Rob- ertson, general manager of the On- tario Motor League, with the ap- proach of the most treacherous part of the year. . "It 1s a well recognized fuct that from now until the turn of the year accident records show that ac.' cidents greatly increase on roads and streets during the coming per fod," Mr. Robertson emphasized. WET PAVEMENTS AND LEAVES There were several 'reasons for the increase he sald, but the most evident seemed ta be shorter day- light hours, "From now on," he ex- plained, 'the afternoon rush hour traffic takes place at dusk." Most accidents occur just at dusk Mr, Robertson added. Wet pavements, "covered with leaves and ice, are other factors contributing to the death list, "The general combination of these fac. tors coupled with bad driving on the part of motorists and foolish walking on the part of pedestriuns cause most accidents," he sald. With but sixty days left in the year, Toronto police figures showed they are the most treacherous -- 1940 stands to. break all existing | records in the number of traffic fatalities. Tho year 1938 now holds the record with seventy-seven deaths. Chinese Never Waste Anything Not Even A Scrap of Paper-- They Make Sandals Out of Old Automobile Tires "Tho Chinese wallow nothing to be wasted, no matter how useless ft may at first appear. No scrap of paper thrown away by a careless foreigner is allowed to lie long in the streot before being spotted by an eagle-cyed coolie, who will joy- fully take possession. A newspaper is regarded as a rich prize, which can be put to many uses. During the chilly nights of the rainy sea- gon, for Instance, a few newspapers gerve the coolle and his (amily as - blankets. Empty tins are not allowed to _go_to_wasle, for the thrifty Chin- ese find them very useful. The larger tins make handy and in- expensive cooking pots, oil drums are used as water containers, while other tins are flattened out and used as patches to make roofs weatherproof, Also of great value are the dis- carded Inner tvbes from car tyres. Perhaps the most popular use is to slit up tho tube, then shape and stitch .the rubber to make sandals for .the whole family. The junk dealers will buy any- thing, no matter how valueless it may seem. Tattered clothes, brok- en bottles, rusty nails, wooden crates, strips of matting--anything at all--wlll bo found In: thé shops of these dealers, They do not lack customers; either, for the Chinese have a use for everything.

This kind of new internal pip- ing, long sought by surgeons, is made possible by a new drug, heparin, which triples the length of time that human blood takes to clot.

It gave complete relief in 40 per cent of the cases tried, and partial relief in another 35 per cent. Angina is a painful heart trouble.

The same thing is happening to the Himalayas, which are creep- ing south. But although in geo- logical time they are moving swiftly, the actual rate is only a few feet each year. All the time, the world is undergoing change. The Thames was an underground river 10,000 years ago, for a for- mer bed has been discovered six- ty feet below the present one.

In every mouth left undisturb- ed for some hours--for example during sleep -- a varying amount of 'white substance grows on the tongue and other mouth surfaces and accumulates around the teeth. This consists of a thread- like plant called leptothrix, in the meshes of which may be numer- ous germs and 'cells, This plant, if not removed, will grow ra- pidly and form a hard tartar on the teeth which can be removed only by a dentist's sharp instru- ment. Such removal is necessary, otherwise the teeth and gums will "suffer. HELPS KEEP TARTAR AWAY People otherwise meticulously clean in their habits habitually neglect their teeth; the brush, used in a perfunctory rub, is al- lowed to become filthy and pos- sibly does more harm than good. Many persons are continually troubled with a raw sore throat, aggravated in some smoking particularly if cigarettes are used; in these individuals a systematic use of a saturated so- lution of thymeol in water as a mouthwash and gargle, is a most effectual preventive. HOW TO PREPARE IT The solution is prepared as fol- lows: the crystals of thymol, placed in a muslin bag, are put into a wide-mouthed bottle and cold water added. Soon there will be a saturated solution of the drug. more cold water is added until all the crystals have disappeared. Then more crystals are added. Thymol is inexpensive, An ounce, costing no more than a few cents, will make nine gallons of solu- tion. 5 If the, solution appears to he too strong, that is if it "bites" the tongue or throat, water may be added. When ready, the so- lution is used as a gargle and mouthwash "several times a day. cases by . From time to time YS TRLTIN FETT VIN CAA SM bat "I's my own invention.
