SCOTT iii For nearly five years the Govern. ment ttortieuiturists have been mak- ing an intensive study at the breath- mg of apples, and the result ls that by a process known as gas storage it is possible to add 50 per cent to the storage life ct fruit. The research work owes its origin to the tact that fruit is living materi at even after it is picked. It has re- served energy and the more this en- ergy can be conserved the longer the‘ fruit will last or keep. in their) breathing, as in nearly all forms ttC life, apples take in oxygen and give " carbon dioxide in the process of respiration. " has been found that if carbon dioxide is allowed to ac- cumulate arcund the fruit. a preserv- ative effect is produced. Bo by star- ing the fruit in a gas tight room, carbon dioxide accumulates and oxy- gen is reduced. It is this increased 1carbon dioxide and less oxygen that hide in the storage lite of fruit. It is not, however, Just as aimple as " sounds. There is a multiplicity of factors to be considered and reek. oned with which takes time and much patient concentration on the part or the research worker. As an example. if the accumulated carbon dioxide exceeds a certain concentrn- ticn, the fruit will suilocate and die by what is termed a physiological disease. Under ordinary cold storage, ep-i pies and other fruits are stored in I temperature of 32 degrees Fahren- heit. At this temperature it has been found that McIntosh apples develop a disease termed Core Flush which soon completely spoils the fruit. Un. der gas storage at a temperature of 39 degrees Fahrenheit with about seven percent carbon dioxide and ii per cent oxygen, they can be kept 50 per cent longer. at a given tem- perature. without core Buah develop- ing, and retain fully their fresh. 'if1rnt appearance. The economic ad- ivantage of this to the fruit producer (and to the consumer is obvious. When gas storage of fruit becomes fairly general it will mean that the storage of Bartlett pears, tor ex- ample. can be extended tor several months and will retain all their lusciousnesa at the end of this perl. od. Similar conditions may apply to other fruits and even vegetables. . ABERDEEN WOMEN’S INSTITUTE The Aberdeen Women's Institute held their December meeting at the home of tht President, Mrs Geo. Twamley. who opened the meeting with the Ode follcwed by tho Lord's Prayer in unison. Mrs Donald Stewart read the Chrismas message in Luke. The Sunshine and Treas- urer's reports were given. Mrs Due vey and Mrs Stewart were appointed to buy wool to start war work. The roll call was answered with the ex. change ot Christmas gifts off the Christmas tree. Mrs Dover gave a most enjoyable talk about the Convention held in Toronto. Eight Christmas hoer ‘were packed for the sick and shut- |ins. Mrs Twmley and assistsnts served a dainty lunch. BREATHING OF APPLES FACT A WEEK ABOUT CANADA THE DURHAM REVIEW # ---ni/';'t Bush)!- 3ieaeirw ,' P. m: m m W Ottawa's announcement that pre- pantions are under way for Cana- da's first war loan. now scheduled to make its appearance during the tirat quarter of 1940, is good news inasmuch as it will provide the rank and ille of Canadians with an op- portunity to make their ftrtst direct contribution to Canada‘s war eilort. The backbone of Canada's participa- tion in this war will be Bntuteittl be. cause of the vast amount ot food stuffs. materials and military sup- plies that will be required from this country. True much ot these materi- als will be paid for by the Allies, but some of the British purchases in this country will have to be tin. anced by Canada, and Canada’s own program will be extensive. It seems probable that least 40 per cent of the national income will be required in the next year to meet the cost of war and the other expenditures' of all governments in Canada and to finance British purchases here. . "T--------------------'"- Canada has come a long way since the last war in developing a fiscal system of equality in citizen- ship and its attendant resspotsatri1F ties. As announced in the Brst war budget, this war, in as for " Cuna- da is concerned. will be tinaneed as tar as practical on a "pay as you go" basis, and paid for by all on the general basis ot ability to pay. It would be impossible to tax for the entire cost of swinging the program Into action without tending to ham. per initiative, lessen eftieiener and retard the expansion ot production, and national income. Tax revenues. therefore, must be supplemented through borrowing by means of do. mestic bond notations. 1 It may, too, be taken tor granted that there will be no "tax tree" bonds in this war, that will gravitate to a few helders and enable them to minimize their income taxes. Nor will there be any duplication of the. abnormal tstohtts from war materials witnessed during the last war. The “reward against this is the Excess Proflt Tax, enacted at the special war session of the Canadian Parlia- mom. It is indicated that the forthcom- ine war loan wilt have. bonds as low as $50 in denomination. and it in tho hone of the Minister of Finance. Hon. J. L. Ital-mu. K. c., that everv Canadian will become a cred. itor to the Canadian Government through his or her ownershin of a Government hand. A creditor re- lationship of every citizen with hi- zovernment is en assurance of mod government and of Mood citizenship.

It is said that the Persians under Xerxes were defeated in their in. vasion of Greece by plague and dy- sentery. in all of the wars from that time to the Great War of 1914-4fl disease was as deadly a. toe as the munitions of the enemy. CANADA’S mm WAR LOAN in a recent American book on "Di. sease in Military Campaigns", Lieut- Cot. Nelson Mercer says that the United States losses in the last war were 58,119 from disease and 50,385 were killed or died ot wounds. A large percentage was from influenza epidemic cf INS. By that time, ty- phoid had been brought under con. trol and there were only 2,200 cases among more than t000,000 soldiers and there were only 200 deaths. During the Spanish American War. typhoid caused 20,904 cases and 2. m deaths. That war in which 379 men died in battle, was responsible for 4.795 deaths trom disease, most of the troops never reach?“ Cuba. Similar strrles of epidemics have ccme down from previous wars. In 1741, because of a typhus epidemic among the Austrian defenders of Prague, the French were able to cantnre that City. Later Napoleon had to retreat. from Moscow because of typhoid. tiphus and pneumcnla. In the United States war with Mex, co in liN6-7 of 100.000 American sol- diers only 1.549 were killed or died of wounds, while 10.986 died of ty- phoid, dysentery. smallpox. malaria or tropical diseases. In the Civil War, the Union Army lost approxim- ately 200,000 men try disease and 112.000 from wounds.
