Blue Monday, Truck Drivers, Indians and Other Real Savages He now has little in common with the "savages" of the past.

Indian Civilization Down in the States four Indian tribes have foresworn the use of the swastika, because of its asscciation with Nazi aggression.

That attitude probably helps a lot more than if the driver had engquired: "Why the soemethingâ€"orâ€"other don‘t you keep your thisâ€"andâ€"that dog off the road?" Maybe we were wrong about truck drivers, It seems that a Telegram truck ran over and killed a man‘s dog. The man wrote in, complimenting the truck driver, in spite of feeling badly about the dég. "If there were more truck drivers like this one, people would not feel so bitter about the death of their pets," he writes.

The Royal Army Meédical Corps, which is responsible for the health of the Canadian soldier, has been ordered to haxe xâ€"ray plate of every recruit as well as special tests for diabetes, kidâ€" ney diseases and ear defects. It is said that in the xâ€"ray examinations already completed, less than 1 per cent of the men have shown signs of tuberculosis. The value of these examinations is not entirely to the enlisted men who exâ€" hibit signs of tuberculosis. The sifting out of infected men will prevent their spreading the disease to their associâ€" ates. It is a valuable pxcc e of prevenâ€" tion. More than 4,500 men are receiving pensions for tuberculosis. Many of these are totally disabled and on full allowance. If the average pension is $75.00 per month the annual cost has been $4,050,000. The cost in the twenty years since the end of the war would amount to $81,000,000. Since some of the disabled men were in institutions for a part of the time the cost of tuberculosis in the Canadian Expediâ€" tcnary Force has probubly reached $100,000,000. The Canadian Tuberculosis Association is correct in asserting that a great deal of the disease could have been detected at enlistment by the use of proper methods. It is only by an xâ€" ray examination that early signs Of tuberculosis can ke revealed. (By J. M. S. MCCullough, M.D., D.P.H.) According to McLean‘s magazine, more than 3,000 of the Canadians who enlisted in the Crreat War died of tuâ€" berculosis. Ten per cent of them saw service in Canada only. . More than 4,000 veterans are still on pension for tuberculosis laid to war service. If the 3,000 who died from tuberculosis were treated for an average of two years at a cost of three dollars per day the apâ€" prcximate total cost of this groups alone, not counting pensions to dependâ€" ents, would be sixty and oneâ€"half milâ€" lion dollars.
