Now and then a whinâ€" ing wind stirred the ashes on the hearth and set the flames leaping highâ€" er round the logs. The hospital was quiet toâ€"day; there had been a lull in the arrival of wounded, and all who heard glanced up apprehensively at the sound of wheels in the courtyard and the calls for stretcher bearers. * No new patients were brought into the kitchen ward, however, and Hall was just lighting a fresh cigarette when the match fell from his fingers. "Leonie! I‘m hereâ€"what an unexâ€" pected visitor! And how welcome."

Addad together, the figures would be startling. That 40 per cent. increase by the gold mines, in any event, is an astonishing revelation of prozress. It is easy to sum up what the mining comâ€" pamnies pay out, but how much the minâ€" ers and their families have to spendâ€" and they are good spendersâ€"no one has computed. A good many Canadians forget about all that has happened in the mining world in recent years. Because the stock market has beon running quietly without booms and panics and all the rest of it, the laymen‘s attention tends to laz. But the figwres assembled by the Bureau of BStatistics present an impressive crossâ€"section of the wideâ€" spread ramifications of the mining inâ€" dustry and the prosperity it means to countiess other industrial activitiecs and communities threughout the coumtry.

The exâ€" penditures were for consumable stores, equipment, electric power, fucl, freight and insurance. That the outlay was fairly well disâ€" tributed over the various provinces of Canada is indicated from these figures: Ontario, $25,735,255; Quebec, $6,443,970; British Columbia and Yukon, $4,782,813; Saskatchewan and Northwest Terriâ€" toriecs, $1.1733,161; Manitoba, $1,651,811, and Nova Scotia, $278,347. _ "I want you . .. to take my place with the ambulance.

For instance, The International Nickel Company alone in 1937 spent no less than $25,â€" 212427 for supplies and equipment. The largest single item was $5,529,4173 for freight and express, the sum of $4,â€" 5859,316 was expended for fuel, $2,3605,â€" 377 for timter and lumber, and $1,301,â€" 135 to the Hydroâ€"Electric Commission for power.

One of the groawmt assets of life, beâ€" caust it means good health, is to be fr¢e from constipation; that is to have a rogular bowel habit. Unfortunately some physicians have stated that there should be a bowel movement after every meal, because Nature meant that every five or six hours (by which time the stomach is completely empty) food should be eaten and as the food leaves the stomach and enters the small bowel, the impulse to send it downward should be continued to the large bowel and thus in time the large bowel would in turn cast the wastes from the body. Most physicians however are of the opinion that a bowel movement once a day is sufficient. On the other hand, Dr. Walter Alvarez, Mayo Climnmic, states that the regularity of the bowel movement is the important point and that many individuals with a bowel movement every two or three days enâ€" joy excelleont healthâ€"no headaches and no digestive disturbanos. However. there is no qauestion but However, there is no question but that constipation with irregularity of bowel movement not only affects the individual physically but also greatly upsets him mentally as he fceels that all the poisons in the wastes Oof the large bowel are being absorbed into his lood and that this poisoned blood is being carried to all parts of the body, including the brain. Dr. Alvarez tells us that the "weight" of the wastes aftâ€" fects the nerves and causos some of the "tired" symptoms. I have spoken befors of the two kinds of constipation, (a) the spastic type due to nervousuess and emotional disturbances which, by causing a spasm of[ the large intestine makes the circular muscles tighten down on the wastes thus preventing them passing downâ€" ward and cut of the body. and (b) the ordinary constipation due to laziness or lack <â€" of cenough tightening or squeezing of the intestinal muscles to push the wastes onward and downward. The first or spastic type is helped by trying to have the individual relax more, not get upset or excited easilly, and also to avoid rough foods; the second type (lazy bowel) is helped by expreise, coarse foods, and sometimes a simple laxative such as senna, Ccasâ€" cara, or magnesia. Establishing a daily bowel habitâ€"on arising or immediately after breakfast â€"is a good mental and physical tonizc.
