RULE Two Weeks Additional Leave After Each 12 Months' Service Ottawa, Oct. 3 -- The Department of National Defense has issued re- vised orders governing the granting of leave in the Canadian Active Ser- vice Force. The department said in a state- ment last night that officers and other ranks may be granted leave up to 14 days, with pay, after six months' continuous service in the CASF. An additional' 14 days' leave may be granted after each ad- ditional 12 months' continuous ser- vice. The statement said the additional leave is not accumulative, and 12 months must elapse between each period of leave granted. In special cases, up to ten days compassionate leave may be grant- ed, with pay to officers or other ranks, irrespective of length of ser- vice in the C.AS.F.,, on authority of the District Officer Commanding, Such compassionate leave is restrict. ed to cases where the District Of ficer Commanding is satisfied there is urgent need for the grant. Officers and men gbout to go overseas may be granted embarka- tion leave to provide two clear days at home, The fact that an officer or soldier has had ordinary leave will in no way prejudice the grant of embarkation leave or furlough, The statement said harvest leave may be granted to certain person- nel of the C.AS8.F, under instruc- tion from National Defenze head- quarters to District Officers Com- manding. Officers or other ranks may be granted sick leave or furlough un- der provisions of the King's Regu- lations and Orders for the Canadian Militia.

Strychnine poisoning, from swal- loying tonic pills, brought quick death last Friday to 18-month-old George H. Clyde, of 39 Perth evenue, according to a post mortem. The tonie pills had been prescribed for the id's mother some time ago, it was : It is not known how the pills came within reach of the little fellow. Fri-: ger, removed it, But almost immedi- ately the child was seized with con- vulsi ; pital for d on admittance. Dr. I, H. Erb, pathologist, with the permission of the parents, made an examination and discovered 12 pills in the boy's stomach. The pills contained strychnine, not sufficient to harm an adult but sufficient to bring death to a small child, One Would Kill * Coroner W. J. O'Hara asked The parents the grave danger of Jeg ' such cathartic and tonic pills where a climbing or wandering child could possibly reach them. One of the pills which this baby swallowed, containing, Dr. O'Hara would be sufficient alone to-cause death, The baby swallowed 12. Among all the poisons which cause child deaths, it has been reported that strychnine was responsible for the greatest number of juvenile pois- oning cases and the highest percens tage of fatalities. 2 Strychnine poisoning in children was the subject of an article some time ago in the Canadian Medical Association Journal by Dr. John R. (C.)., of the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, and the depart- ment of pediatrics at University of Toronto. "In surveying the cases of poison- | ing in children," they said, "it is | found that strychnine poisoning plays a very prominent part, both from the large number df cases and the high mortality." : Attracted by Chocolate A survey of the poisoning cases treated at the Hospital for Sick Children, from 1919 to 1933, showed that there were 32 cases of strych- nine poisoning and six of these had a fatal termination. The children ! most frequently poisoned were be- tween the ages of one and five years. "As soon as the child is able to walk and climb on chairs he may obtain a bottle of the tablets" the report says, "and, finding the choco- late coating very palatable, swal- Don't Leave Poison Pills Within Reach Of Infants ne Doctors Implore Parents | respéctively; in children of five years Evening Telegram to impress upon said, about 1-30 grain of strychnine, |" Ross and Dr. Alan Brown, FRCP, | low a large number of them, some- times as many as 80 or 90." Speaking of one brand of tablets containing strychnine, the report says: "Although each tablet con- tains only 1-120 gr. strychnine the child may readily obtain consider- ably more than the lethal dose, and if vomiting is not induced very soon or gastric lavage is not given the result is inevitable. "Statistics elsewhere reveal a similar high death rate from the ac- | cidental ingestion of this drug in children." In New York State, ex- clusive of New York City, there were 158 fatal poisonings from all causes in children five years of age and under, between 1926 and 1032, in- clusive, and strychnine accounted | for 75 of $hese deaths. The poison- | | ing was '¢hiefly due to the three | cathartic and tonic pills. "Mortality figures for strychnine | poisoning in the Dominion of Can- ada," the report continues, "for 1931, 1932 and 1933, furnished by the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics, show that there were 18, 23 and 11 deaths, of age, or 52 deaths in three years. Others Cause Deaths "The poisoning usually results," . t out, "from. hed by the pre-school child of the commonly used cathartic and tonic tablets which agg usually con- sidered by the parents to be quite harmless. With these facts in mind it would seem highly advisable to entirely remove the strychnine from the formulae of such tablets."

Liniment Coroner O'hara sald it behooved every parent to be constantly on guard against poison pills coming in- to the hands of children. The candy coating has an irresistible appeal to them and in the case of pills con- taining strychnine the result is al- most invariably the same. KISS YOUR TIRED FEELING GOODBYE!
