The man wa« born in Auitralia, lived in Czecho-Slovakia and died in Germany. â€" o â€" A revival service was being held and one of the partners in a coal concern had joined the church. He tried to get his partner to do likewise. "I can't do it, John," replied the partner, when the other's in- sistence Decame irksome. "Who'll do the weigliin' if I join?" "Are thrie the largeit or. aages you have?" a*ked Mrt. Brown, of the grocer. "Oh, no, ma'am," was the reply, those are only the 'large' size.

He had taken as text for a sermon: "The lie limps through the land." "Your sermon was against Dr. Goebbeis," he was told. ' "You know he limped."

Chewing Gum Reduces Tension Serves As A Means of Relaxa- tion, Psychologists Report It has been suggested repeatedly tlvat one of the chief benefits of smoking and chewing gum Is their value as outlets tor increased ten- sion. It has been said that most ha- bitual movements of the body re- present release of such inner ten- sion, says Dr. Morris Fishbein. Recently psychologists at Colum- bia University made a study of 20 people over a period of 20 days to find out just how much chewing served as a means of relaxation. Each of the persons concerned was studied first while not chewing, se- cond, while chewing ordinary chewing gum, and third, while al- lowing a flavored candy wafer to melt in the mouth. Decreased Ten Per Cent. It was necessary first of all to find some measurement of tension or strain. This was done by watch- ing each one of the persons .-on- cerned throuighout a working day and recording restless movements. In many of these subjects it was found that tension as measui-ed by decrease of restless movements was decreased about 10 per cent, during chewing. Studies were also made to deter- mine whether indulgence in such a habit had any relations to fat- igue. Fatigue producee increased psychologic tension. When peopl« are tired from over-work and over- strain, the use of tea and coffee seems to increase tension. On the otiier hand, it was found in thes» studies, chewing tended to de- crease tension. The amount of mus- cular effort Involved is hardly suf- ficient to increase fatigue. How Can I ? 8Y ANNE ASH' EY Q. How can I relieve tired eyes A.

Wliat Science 'M IS Doing iff VITAMINS HEAL WOUNDS Wounds heal more rapidly if the body is well supplied with ascorb- ic acid, or vitamin C.

AND MF.NTAL DISORDERS The eating of a common vitam- in which can be purchased in pills at the corner urug store is being used as a treatment for extreme nervousness and a possible preven- tive of some forms of insanit.v.

FARM COLUMN QUALITY THE WATCHWORD "So long as there is a prospect of Britain being able to keep the trade routes open, we should not become too anxious to change our agricultural objectives in Canada. We will probably do most for our- selves and Britain by continuing to produce just what we have been producing, improving im- mediately the quality and step- ping up the (('uantity as the de- mand develops." â€" Hon. J. G. Gar- diner, Dominion Minister of Agri- culture, at the annual dinner of the United Grain Growers at Win- nipeg. RED CLOVER SEED In order to identify red clover seed sold in Canada, seed from South .\mericu, Italy, Africa, and Turkestan must have 10 per cent stained red; from the United States, one per cent blue; from Great Britain, one per cent black, and all other imported seed, one per cent green. Canadian-grown seeds is not stained and may be identified accordingly. The results of tests at the Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa, during the pa.it 15 years show that over 20 per cent ot red clover seed from the Northern United States is winter-killed; over 21 per cent of the seed liom Northern Eur- ope; over 36 pel cent from Great Britain, and ovtr .55 per cent from Southern Knropc.

Treatment Community Job Professor of Medicine at Mc- Gill Asserts Physicians Cap- able of Ending Disease Tuberculosis is an infectious ' disease, and therefore a commun- ity problem. Dr. James B. Ross, F.R.C.P. (Eng.) associate profes- sor of Medicine at McGill Uni- versity, told the Kiwanis Club of Montreal recently. The treatment of a person open to tuberculosis was, he said, a community prob- lem, and not a personal problem between him and his physician. Not A Personal Problem The medical profession posses- ses enough knowledge about tub- erculosis and methods of hand- ling it to eliminate the disease. He looked forward to the time when, like typhoid, tuberculoeis would cease to take the heavy death toll that it now did. Since 1,900, deaths in the United States had decreased from 200 per 100,- 000 population to 43 per 100,000. In Quebec there were still 95 to 100 deaths per 100,000, as against 34 in Ontario and 22 in Sask- atchewan. Saskatchewan spent 7S cents per head on the control of tuberculosis and Quebec spent 41 cents per head. The Book Shelf •WITH A GLANCE BACK- WARD" By E. A.
