Can you place ten lumps of sugar In three teacups so that there is an odd number of lumps in each cup? A statistician to Whom this problem was once propounded declared it was im- possible I) accomplish such a feat. but the tollbwing explanation shows that it Is not only possible. but very easy to accomplish: Put one lump in one cup. two lumps in another cup and seven lumps in the third cup, and then put the cup with one lump in the cup with the two lumps. By placing the cup that holds one lump inside the one that holds two lumps it can be correct- ly stated that every cup contains an odd number of lumps. for if a cup con- tains another cup it also contains the contents of that second cup. The early recognition of tuberculo- sis, cancer and heart disease, with the elimination of the more acute infec- tious diseases. would add something like fifteen years to the average life, besides saving much in invalidism and sufl‘ering. The ultimate goal of sci- ence is the domination of the forces of nature and their utilization in promot- ing the welfare of mankind. Science must discover the facts and medicine must make the application for either cure or prevention-Victor C. Vaughan, M. D., in Journal of American Medical Association. If preventive medicine is to bestow on man its 'richest service the time must come when every citizen will sub- mit himself to a thorough medical ex- amination once a year or oftener. The benefits which would result from such a service are so evident to medical men that detail is not desirable. When rec- ognized in their early stages most of the diseases which now prevail are amenable to treatment. the hunter sees a monkey of bird In ‘he top of a tree, often 100 feet above The flesh of the game is not injured by the poison. Like the venom of snakes, it is dangerous when introduc- ed into the vascular system. but harm- less when taken into the stomach. The action of the drug on birds cul- minates in from three to four minutes; a monkey died in five minutes and a thick strap made by boiling together parts of the ,Strychnos toxlfera vine and other plants and a number of the deadly venomous black ants of the Amazon region.

We have heard too much about the rights of the individual; let us know more about his duties. Too much stress has been laid on the sacredness of pri- vate property and too little on the duty of all to contribute to the welfare of the Whole.
