LYONS TRADE-IN DEPARTMENT 478 Yonge St., Toronto INSULIN AND CATARACTS "There has been enormous pro- gress in the reduction of blintlness in countries all over the world," Sir Stewart Duke-Eliler, surgeon- oculist to King George, said in an Interview at Toronto last week. The greatest single factor in this reduction of blindness. Sir Stewart explained, was early treatment and especially the ap- plication of silver solution to the •yes of children at birth. Insulin, by checking diabetic conditions, is also reducing the in- cidence of cataracts, said Sir Stewart. Cataracts were often cmused by diabetic condition, he explained. GOAT'S BLOOD CURE Two hundred people have been cured of gastric ulcers by having goat's blood injected into their Teins at the Institute of Blood Transfusion in Moscow, L'.S.S.R. The cures were remarkably rapid, and in the two years that the experiments have continued no patient has had a re:urrence of the trouble after treatment. The treatment has been found sulcoss- ful also when applied to skin dis- •ases and tropical ulcers, though aomewhat less effective than for gastric ulcer. Five cubic centimetres of blood are transferred from the goat to the patient at each injection. .-Xf- tar the second transfusion the fain disappears and the ulcer be- gins to heal. ELASTIC METAL Scientists are constantly dis- MVering new metals and improv- lag on old ones. But now they have made a new substance which la neither mineral nor vegetable. tt a combination of both. Thoy ve amalgamated rubber and cl in such a manner as to form "•lastic" metal! Five yeuis ago such a feat would not even have been thought possible. The value to industry of this new metal is considerable: it is ideal for the manufacture of springs, couplings and sound-ab- sorbing devices. .Although still in the experimental stages, there is no doubt that it will enhance our progress and there are hundreds of ways in which it will be used. PLANTS GROWN WITHOUT EARTH Dr. W. M. McNeely, medical superintendent of Essex County Sanatoiium, Windsor, Ont., has been experimenting for years with plants in his capacity as amateur horticulturist. His hobby has brought him -many pleasant mo- ments, and lately gave rise to the idea that it may be possible to hasten the growth of bone, in op- erations where pieces must be re- moved. He admits that he doesn't think himself capable of a medical dis- covery of this magnitude, but be- lieves it will come, in the light that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is experimenting with a live heart and has kept it alive by nutrition for years. The gen al doctor got the idea when he began to grow his re- markable flower garden without earth last Ma>. in his tirst experi- ment uith hydroponics. He has one garden containing 13 varieties of plants and a tomato plant as well, and there isn't a vestige of earth anywhere. The roots are in water containing a solution of chemical salts. The seeds are planted in four inches of ordinary excelsior, suspended on wire net- ting above water containing the salts solution. And almost miraculously, the plants aie healthier and much larger than those left to the care of Mother Nature. When the leaves of the plants began to yel- low, Pr. McNccly took this as a symptom that there was an iron deficiency .ind added a bit of iron sulphate. Immediately the leaves took on a deeper color and show- ed si.ens of improved health.

The BOOK SHELF \ By ELIZABETH EEDY "Papers and Records: WELLAND COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY" Come to think ot it. many of the most Interesting events in the his- tory ot Ontario (including Laura Secord's walk to warn the soldiers) had a place in the development of Welland County, that versatile sec- tion ot the Province tucked down between Lake Erie and Lake On- tario. For one thing, the county is bordered by the Niagara River, a body ot water which has figured large in a dozen incidents. The Welland County Historical Society has done a valuable job in collecting over a period ot years all the papers and records which throw light ou the past of that re- gion. So far, five volumes ot the Papers and Records have been published, dealing with the War ot 1S12. the Fenian raids, the building ot the Welland Ship Caual. the story of Fort Erie, happenings on the Niagara frontier. Sketches of personalities serve to make the documents real and interesting. The student interested iu the history ot Ontario cannot afford to miss a perusal ot these volumes. They may be had at $2.00 a piece. Orders are received by Louis Blake Duff, Secretary ot the Society, 35 Niagara Street, Welland, Ontario. Flying Above Quebec Lakes Jlrs. Wilbur L. Cummiiig, ac- companied by her daughter MoUy, both of Kound Hill, Uieenv.ich, Conn., arrived at Gray Rocks Inn .â- Virport. St. Jovie, Que., recently. From this point Mrs. Cuniniing chartered the Gray Rocks .\ir Ser- vice Waco 87 and flew into Lake Commandant, approximately 65 air miles north of Gray Rocks Inn. There they were met by guide, Joe Latour, and caught a large number of grey trout. In neighbouring Lake Gauthier they also caught their full quota of speckled trout. During the trip Mrs. Chumming and her daughter had the experience «f seeing con- siderable big game. A Black Sheep A black sheep ran into a cul- de-sac. chased by a dog; leaped a four-foot gate; jumped through a window into a hou.se; knocked over table at which some people were having breakfast; smashed crocUciy and ornaments, and smothered the food in broken KtMa. After a long talk on the value ot peace, goodwill and disarmament, a teacher asked his class it they ob- jected to war: Boy â€" Yes, sir, I do! Teacher â€" Good! Now tell us why. Boy â€" Because, sir, wars made history â€" and 1 hate history! Imagination was given a man to compensate him for what he is not. and sense ot humor was provided to console him for what he is. ifrs.

They say some ot those foreign Insects are ter- rible. Things Work Out Because it raius when we wish It wouldn't. Because men do what they often shouldn't. Because crops 'ail, and plans go wrong â€" Some ot us grumble the whole day long, But, somehow, la^ spite of the care and doubt. It seems at last that things work out. So bend to your trouble and meet your care. For the clouds must break, and the sky grow fair. Let the rain come down as it must and will. But keep on working and hoping still.

Farmers* Feeder Purchase Plan Is Announced Federal Government Aids The Famaert In Buying Cattle â€" Cr.e-Way Expenses to West Paid The refund to farmers, or their agents, of one-way travelling ex- penses is embodied in a feeder pur- chase policy which Agriculture Minister J. G. Gardiner annouuces became effective in Canada Septem- ber, extending until December 31. The policy is aimed at helping farmers to make personal selec- tion of feeder stock â€" cattle and lambs â€" in Western Canada. It is effioctive in three editions, one each for Eastern Canada, the Prai- rie Provinces ami British Colum- bia. The policy is applied to carload shipments billed within the speci- fied time. How Policy Is Applied Subject to the conditions outlined in the policy itself, farmers froai points east of Manitoba may obtain the benefit indicated on the pur- chase ot feeder cattle at the â- Saska- toon sale. September 28 to 29; Moose Jaw, October 7, at country points and at any stockyards in the Prairie Provinces. The policy will apply on lambs and ewes bought at the Moose Jaw sale, or at country points; and on lambs purchased at the stockyards !n these three provinces. Prairie Province farmers may buy cattle at either of the sales and at the stockyards. They may also purchase lambs and breeding ewes at the Moose Jaw sale, and lambs at the stockyards. In Three Sections British Columbia farmers, or their agents, may have the benefits ot the policy on cattle purchased from a range herd In the Interior of British Columbia; at the Mo«se Jaw and Saskatoon feeder sales, and at country points or stock- yards, in Alberta and Saskatchew- an. Lambs purchased at stockyards, and both lambs and ewes purchas- ed at the Modse Jaw sale, or at country points in these two pro- Tinces, will be eligible. Departmental agents at the va- rious stockyards are In possession of all information relating to the policy, as well as the Western Stock Growers Association of Cal- gary.

Dr. and Mrs. Charles B. Baker and son. Malcolm Baker, of Montreal, have returned to Gray Rocks Inn, St. Jovite, by the Kiamika canoe route. While fishing at Kiamika Lake Mrs. Baker had the unusual ex- perience ot catching a 7 lb. pike Affer-harvest cultivation is the cheapest and most effective method ot controlling Perennial Sow This- tle, states J. D. .McLeod ot the Crops. Seeds and Weeds Branch ot the Ontario Department ot" Agri- culture, iu an interview this week. "The creeping rootstalks of the Perennial Sow Thistle are at their weakest stage right now." said Mr. McLeod. •Heat, sunlight and dry weather are our best partners." Mr. McLeod advises deep plow- ing immediately after harvest. The land should be allowed to dry thor- oughly for two or three weeks without Cultivation. It is pointed out that surface soil is separated from subsoil: moisture is cut off, and root-stalks are hollow and milky and cannot stand heat and dryness. Follow later with the broad shares on the cultivator to get any plants that remain. Shallow plowing, cultivating or deep discing will kill young sum- mer aunuals and induce seeds to germinate, states Mr. McLeod. Af- ter harvest cultivation pays big dividends in assuring larger suc- ceeding crops and better retijrus. Kill weeds when they are we-ikesL Plan now to work all infested fields which are not seeded down. 1 UST at the time 'when you need new tires on your car, Firestone makes it possible for you to buy genuine high quaility gum-dipped tires at prices that save you real money.
