In recent years, Canada has augmented its own annual steel production about one-third by imports of steel products from the United States. Canadian steel companies now are spending $100,000,000 in expansion and improvement programs which will bring steel capacity to about 4.5 million tons, blast furnace capacity to nearly 3.5 million tons and will add new rolling mill facilities, according to a Canadian csvaroment source. * llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll INVITATION OPEN HOUSE I AT THE AGATHA SHOP OBSERVING OUR 30th Anniversary WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15th 1 to 5 P.M. New PARENTS Complete line of Beebe livestock remedies at Wattle* Dray Store, McHenry. 8tf Function Of The KW^oys While our good health generally depends on good nutrition, equally important is the elimination of waste products from the daily intake of food, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in a HEALTH TALK. The chemical waste products of the diet are eliminated by the kidneys. When these organs are not functioning properly, a condition develops which is known as nephritis. It is often called Bright's disease after the famous London physician. Dr. Richard Bright who, in 1S27, correlated swelling body tissues (dropsy) with coagulation of urine on boiling, and inflammation of kidneys. ' . Normally there &rfc two kidneys, one on either side of the spinal Column. They are beanshaped. located iij the upper part of the abdomen, beneath the diaphragm, behind the stomach and directly in front of the muscles of the back. The kidneys are each connected to the bladder by two long tubes, known as .the ureters, and their primary function is to act as a filter in removing waste products from the blood stream. The kidneys may be considered the most important chemical laboratory in the body, as they not only filter the waste products but conserve the body's minerals and salts and keep body fluids and chemicals in balance. They are so important that all of the blood in the body, eleven to thirteen pints, circulates through them every three minutes for the purpose of being freed of its waste products. Especially interesting is the fact that the kidney is primarily composed of two million little filtering units, which are clusters of blood vessels. If these clusters, which are called glomeruli, were stretched out they would extend approximately four miles. As the blood circulates through the kidneys and finally through the little clusters or glomeruli, the waste products are selectively transferred from the blood into tiny funnel-like tubes, large quantities of water, sugar and salt pass into these tubules. Thi3 is known as filtrate. As this filtrate passes down through the tubules, the water, salt and sugar essential to the body are reabsorbed through the walls of these tubules to maintain the normal body chemistry. The waste products, however; that cannot be used again continue to pass down the tubules and down the ureters into the bladder. . P When anything interferes- with these filters, such as blocking or plugging, the waste products are not properly processed, inflammation develops and we have the condition known as nephritis. In children, this inflammation may follow scarlet fever or frequent upper respiratory infections. Sore throat caused by the streptococci germs may be a factor. In older people, particularly those with arteriosclerosis, or those with extremely high blood pressure damage to the blood vessels results in plugging, and nephritis may set in, because the vessels are narrowed, obviating t h e free passage of blood to the' filter mechanism. Nephritis is a serious condition. Very often the symptoms in the early stages go unnoticed. The waste material, instead of being excreted from the body, accum^ lates in the blood, frequently causing edema or swelling, and more work for the heart. ,The urinalysis is the laboratory test used to direct albumin in the urine. While albumin is normally present in the body, it does not appear in the urine if the filter system dt the kidheys is functioning normally. Everyone should have a urinalysis regularly. Human Artifacts Constitute Of Nineteen Different Metals , Nineteen different metals were identified in studies on the composition of human hair, skin and nails, two University of Michigan researchers reported recently. Minute quantities of heavy metals such as silver, lead, tin, zinc, iron, copper and aluminum were among those found as constituents of the human artifacts, the report indir cated. Other metals found were barium, boron, sodium, titanium, strontium, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, manganese and silicon. Results of a two-year study of the metallic content of hair, skin (and nails) were presented before a meeting of the Society-for Investitive Dermatology by Dr. Raymond W. Goldblum of the University's Medical School Department of Dermatology. Dr. Goldblum was assisted in the research by Stanley K. Derby, a graduate student in the U-M Department of Physics. Derby performed extensive spectrographs examinations to determine the kind and amount of metal present in the samples collected by Dr. Goldblum. Dr. Goldblum pointed out that many of the heavy metals, such as zinc, iron, magnesium, copper and manganese are involved in the chemical processes that take place in the skin. FAKED AND FORGED DOCUMENTS MAKE UP ILLINOIS EXHIBIT Violent Deaths Not Always Fully Probed, Doctor Says Only 13 per cent of the people in the United States are protected by adequate investigation of violent or sudden deaths, according to Dr. Richard Ford of Boston. In most states, Dr. Ford points out in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the coroner, is not required by law to be a physician nor are there adequate facilities or thorough investigation of such deaths. Dr. Ford estimates that 300,000 (20 per cent) of all deaths annually are from violent or obscure causes. If medical examination is not a definite part of the investigation in these cases, he said, the true cause and manner of death in many instances may never be*6 established.' How does such medical investigation serve society? Its most importaht function 'is to exonerate the innocent,^ Dr. Ford believes. But disclosing murders, providing evidence for civil and criminal courts, recognizing fatal contagious diseases, exposing in* dustrial health and safety hazards are also important. ^ Too often, he continued, th* driver of a vehicle involved in aa* accident is given full blame for killing or injuring a pedestrian whereas the victim -- because of drunkeness, disease, or medication --is often equally at fault. Methods used in the detection of faked and forged document* form the subject matter of an exhibit currently on display in the museum room of the Archives building at Springfield, Secretary of State Edward J. Barrett, state librarian, has announced. The exhibit, prepared by the Archives section of the Illinois state library, is based on two books by Albert S. Osborn, "The Problem of Proof" and "Questioned Documents", and several magazine articles, Mr- Barrett said. It illustrates the use, under strong magnify!jig equipment, of such aids as the angle measure, curvemeter. line rule and proportion test plate in the comparison of both typewriter and handwritten material to detect fakes and forgeries, he said. Photographed examples of fraudulant documents, reproduced from Qsborn's books, are included in the exhibit, together with an explanation of how the fraud was established. In one instance, an alleged will dated 1902 was proved fraudulent because of a peculiarity in the watermark in the paper. "Berkshire Bond" was the paper used, but in the watermark the "B" of the word "Berkshire" did not appear. It was proved that this error in the manufacture of the paper occurred in 1907, five years after the claimed date of the will. In another instance, a document was proved false because the watermark in the paper was not designed until fifteen years after the claimed date of the document, the typewriter used was not made until thirty-one years after that date and the type of paper fastener used was not manufactured until 10 years after the date. In handwriting, experts say that styles are as dated as those of clothes, and fraud is frequently detected because of discrepancies in that field. Examples of attempted fraud shown include a check raised from $100 to $800, another raised from $34 to $9000, and a third in which the perforations in a check written on a check-writing machine were filled in and the check repunched to raise it frpai $24 to $2400. < Dinner At Eigkt A dining room which provides a jerfect setting for treasured heirloom mahogany furniture has walls painted a lovely^cool ice blue and draperies to match. The Oriental rug on the floor introduce deep crimson tones that blend with the wood of the furniture as well as rose, blue and i parchment-beige. Rose colored brocade on the seats of the chairs matches the lamp shades on the sideboard. Above the sideboard, a mirror' reflects the silver service that rests upon it and the crystal chandelier above the table. Vltanln 6 Can l« Retalafl In Freezing Oram* Inlet Approximately 98 per cent of tho vitamin C in fre*h oranges can be retained in the frozen, concentrated juice if proper methods are used, a report to the Council on Foods and Nutrition of the American Medical Association revealed. The report said "the frozen concentrated product can be as valuable from a nutritive content as is fresh orange juice." It was pointed out that ' fresh' oranges of good quality picked at the proper time were essential to insure a high vitamin C content in the concentrated product. The report said: "For example, studies indicate that the vitamin C content of fresh oranges may show considerable variation. This is due in part to seasonal influences. In geheral, fruit picked in midseason tends to be higher in vitamin C content than does that picked early or late in the season. Other factors, including variety of fruit, degree of ripeness and condition of the soil, also significantly affect the vitamin C content of the fresh fruit." "The danger of Vitamin C losi," the report continued, "is most likely to occur as a result qf improper handling or storage in the home. For example, if after reconstituting the juice is allowed to stand in open containers at room temperature, appreciable losses will occur. However, if the reconstituted juice is placed in the refrigerator at 40 degrees F., vitamin C losfcM will be negligible." Child Exports Warn Parents About Threatening Offspring Never use the warning of medicine or the doctor as a threat to children, warns Childcraft guidance experts. Such threats are generally used in moments of stress when overtired and impatient parents want Junior to obey, or stop misbehaving immediately. But grownups don't realize how much future trouble they are storing up for themselves, the child and the doctor or nurse. When the child really needs the doctor--for anything from a checkup to hospitalization--he is going to associate the physician with punishment for being bad. Like any fearful or resentful person, he is going to try to avoid the terrible stranger's touch by crying and struggling. Doctor will not be his usual sympathetic self for long, and mother will find herself in the middle of chaos! Instead, discussing the doctor in terms of a friend and helper, will help the child to achieve a basic co-operative attitude--which he wilt need to help both himself and tho doctor, when the time tor medical aid arrives. Export Finds Loftlo It] Outnumber Southpaw If there is a left-handed child your family, chances are two to it's a boy. And the chances of you* having a left-handed child of either sex are about 6 in 100. (Or maybogt 1 in 18 would be a more realistic way of stating it!)

The experts are virtually unanimous that left-handedness itself has n»v relation to intelligence, physical ap- 'pearance, or chances of success ia life. A left-handed child does have some difficulty in learning write, however, says Miss Madisoni The reason is that in writing h|i can't just do with his left han#;!r.j; what others do with their right.
