The doctor is Eugene Saint Jacques, Professor of the History of Medicine at the University of Montreal. Not Always Successful Pneumonia, inflammation of the gall bladder, tonsilitis, childbed fever, rheumatism, shingles, erysipelas, peritonitis and boils are among the infections Dr. Saint Jacques believes he can cure by the injection of charcoal. And, strangely enough, he got the idea of starting his research after reading reports of treatments of animals by similar methods. Dr. Saint Jacques' method, in the language of a layman, is to inject a per cent, solution of animal charcoal in distilled water into the veins of his patients. His experiments have shown no disturbing reactions, cnuis, headaches or shock, he says. The doctor cites a large number of his cases in detail in several of his papers, and is careful to point out that the treatment was not successful in every case. Issue No. 27--'38 The BOOK SHELF By ELIZABETH EEDY (By Josephine Lawrence) Every woman with a sense of humor will revel in the delightful "cussedness" of the three sisters in Josephine Lawrence's "Bow Down to Wood and Stone." We might add that every woman's brother or husband (as the case may be) who dips into this book will be unable to suppress an undignified guffaw to see feminine foibles and perversities portrayed with such maddening accuracy. The sisters are real people, highly individual, interesting down to the last idiosyncrasy. Each of the three devoted her life utterly to doing the thing she most wants to do; and each sees her life as supremely unselfish. "Sacrifice" is their battle-cry which re-echoes through all their conversation with sickening emphasis. Seneth devotes her life to her children (who wanted to be independent of her love); Brosia is solely responsible for her husband's success (a kind of success he didn't want) ; and Gillian lives only for her job. The objects of their self-sacrifice are such that anyone attempting to oppose them is automatically placed in the extremely difficult position of attacking what are accepted as the finest things in life. Haven't you known dozens of people like them? .... that's why the book's so much fun! "Bow Down to Wood and Stone," by Josephine Lawrence-- McClelland and Stewart, Toronto, $2.50. Fined for Not Hunting Because, it is alleged, they refused to join a deer hunt, two students at the Government School of Forestry, Forest of Dean, England, have been fined $6.00 each and given extra duties. Earth's Crust Is In Layers Like Onions Scientist Will Use Man-Made Earthquakes In New England To Test Theory; Will Delve 20 Miles. BOSTON.--In order to test the theory that the earth's crust consists of several layers of different kinds of rock overlaying each other not unlike an onion, Dr. Louis B. Slichter, professor of geophysics in Massachusetts Institute of Technology, intends using man-made earthquakes -- powerful quarry blasts--in New England this sum- These will enable him to study the earth's crust to depths of more than 20 miles. Observing staffs will be stationed at varying distances from several large quarries with instruments more sensitive than those usually employed in measuring quakes. Dr. Slichter has been granted $5,350 for this work from the Penrose Bequest of the Geological Society of America. Core of Nickel and Iron Today, popular opinion among geologists as to the earth's structure holds that beneath an outer layer of sedimentary rocks is a granite-gneiss shell, a shell of peri-dotite or basic rock, and then a core of nickel and iron, with perhaps a transitional layer between the last two. To bolster or deflate this theory is objective No. 1. Figure by Elapsed Time Twelve super-sensitive portable seismographs, specially designed by Dr. Slichter for the project, will be placed at regular intervals within 100 miles or more of the blasting point. Each is capable of detecting a ground movement as slight as a hundred-thousandth of an inch. In general, researchers determine rock structure within the earth's crust by measuring the time elapsed between detonation and the recording of the shock by the seismograph. Of 14,000 Austrians registered with the police of England, 11,500 are women.

By W. D. E. Donaldson, B.S.A., B.Paed., Parkdale Collegiate, GREAT BRITAIN The National Fitness Campaign inaugurated in Great Britain early in 1937 by the radio broadcast of Premier Chamberlain was the culmination of a series of national and international events whose inflence is now beginning to be felt in Canada. The purpose of the British campaign is to raise the standard of health and happiness of the nation by means of recreative physical education suitable to all ages and conditions. Millions of dollars have been voted for gymnasiums, playing-fields, and equipment. To administer these funds the country has been divided into twenty-three areas, each with its local organization. In London there is the Central Council of Recreative Physical Training which co-ordinates the work of the local groups by providing advice and training schools for leaders. Voluntary effort with government support is the keynote of the campaign. country has had on the rest of the world is difficult to ascertain but no one can deny that among the leaders stand Germany, Czechoslo- HARNESS AND COLLARS Fan; -Hai is nearly here.

Each of these countries has raised the standard of physical h«alth to a point unsurpassed in the history of modern times and each has an organization peculiar to itself. GERMANY Germany has the most complete and most highly centralized system In the world. All physical activities are controlled and directed by the National Ministry of Education. One division is devoted entirely to the physical education of boys and girls and the training of the teachers of the elementary and secondary schools as well as of the colleges and universities. National Sports Academy The German National Sports Academy, under the immediate direction of the Minister of Education, occupies the magnificent facilities which are part of the Reichssport-field, the site of the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936, and provides for all activities outside the schools. Here are given free post-graduate courses for the voluntary leaders who serve without pay in the local gymnastic clubs throughout the country. The latest development of this national plan is the building of swimming pools in every village of a i size Results The most spectacular results of the German plan were the staging of the Olympic Games and the success of the German athletes in 1936. No less evident to every visitor however, is the abundant and growing vitality of the whole nation. This is due in no small measure to the personal interest of Reichfuehrer Adolf Hitler, whose expressed ideal is--"There should be no day in which a boy should not have at least one hour's corporal training both in the morning and afternoon, in games and gymnastics"--It should be remembered that all the activities mentioned are directed by the Minister of Education and are quite apart from the National Labor Corps and Military Training. (To be Continued Next Week) -..Gardening Notes... SEED GROWTH EXHAUSTING Seed production is an exhaustive process to most plants, particularly those of small stature. The wise gardener therefore makes it a regular practice to remove all floWer-stems as soon as bl'ooms begin to fade. This saves the strength of the plants and ensures the perpetuity of all hardy kinds. Even many annual flowers respond favorably to this treatment by sending forth additional flowerstems. Planting Pond Lilies Mid-June is the time to plant tender water lilies in the outdoor pool. They are tropical plants that demand water that has warmed up. Most gardeners find it rather difficult t'o carry the plants over the winter, but considering their beauty it is worth while to obtain new plants every year. Provided with pots containing well rotted manure, they will grow quickly and give a display that lasts for several months. Day blooming and night blooming kinds will provide flowers at all hours. Aphids and Plant Lice The best known of all sucking insects are the aphids 'or plant lice. They gather in great numbers on the tender shoots and ruin them in a short time. Since they multiply, at a tremendous rate, they must be kept in check by repeated applications of the contact spray. Keep it away from open wounds and take special care not to inhale the fine mist-like spray. Non-poisonous contact sprays are also available. They usually contain pyrethrum extract 'or rotenone as an active principal, the latter being derived from the roots of derris and cube. To hit each insect with the spray means thorough application of a fine, drifting mist, applied from above as well as from below. Not many hours after the insect has been touched by the spray it will be at the end of its nefarious work because of suffocation or paralysis. The spray that dries on the plants does not show, yet it acts as a re-pellant for several days. Frequent applications of dusting sulphur from the time delphinium leaves show in spring will give control of the mildew disease and the mite, that tiny sucking insect that distorts the tips and causes them to turn back.
